As for the Prince, he could think of other ways to persuade him.
Prince Muyi was a nice man except for this point – he was too straightforward. The Imperial Master found the serving job very tiring, but the Prince was the man he picked, and he had to be devoted to an extent.
Instead of insisting on anything, the Imperial Master sat silently in the wagon.
Prince Muyi, however, was annoyed. The Imperial Master kept making him do different things. He could tolerate the minor things, but what he had said today made Prince Muyi very uncomfortable. He believed that the Imperial Master was going to do something against his will, if he did not take it seriously. He needed to think about how to deal with the Imperial Master now.
The wagon went towards the hotel silently.
Back at the hotel, neither of them said anything and returned to their own rooms respectively.
Prince Muyi started to think.
***
Gu Chaoyan fell asleep, but she was still asleep the following morning. Sword One and Qing thought that the Elder Miss was sleeping in, so they did not ask her to wake up, but Gu Chaoyan remained asleep even until lunchtime…
Sword One found something was wrong. The Elder Miss never slept in for so long.
Sword One went into the room and checked on her.
She said, “Elder Miss, lunch is ready, please get up for lunch.”
However, there came no response.
Sword One found that something wasn’t right.
She came to the beside and found that her Elder Miss did not look well. She felt her forehead, then she realized that her Elder Miss had fallen ill.
Sword One kept blaming herself for being so careless!
She called her several more times, then she hurried away. “Qing, Elder Miss is sick, go and fetch Mr. Zhao! I will ask Sword Two to get the Lord!”
Qing was panicking. She did not even have time to check her Elder Miss personally before she hurried off.
Sword One returned to the room after exchanging a few words with Sword Two.
The fire basin was warm enough for her. They knew pretty well that Elder Miss was weak to the cold, so they checked the basin every now and then, but for some reason, the Elder Miss fell ill suddenly. Sword One was panicking terribly.
She asked Elder Miss to get up to drink some hot water, but she did not wake up.
Sword One was so anxious that she almost burst out into tears.
A sick person would still wake up!
Zhao Yiqiu hurried in. He did not even have time to dust off the snow, but felt Gu Chaoyan’s pulse directly. Zhao Yiqiu would not have been so anxious about a common person, but Gu Chaoyan was a complicated person and if she was sick, things would be strange.
When he felt her pulse, he found that it was like before – there was no pulse.
Zhao Yiqiu turned pale – a person without a pulse was dead, but Lady Chaoyan was a living person. Her body felt warm.
Sword One was anxious too at the sight of Mr. Zhao. “Mr. Zhao, what happened to Elder Miss?!”
Zhao Yiqiu threw a look at Sword One. He was still wearing a complicated and anxious expression, instead of being calm as before.
He did not know what to say.
Lady Chaoyan did not have a pulse… so he could not make any diagnosis, but he should not say anything like that.
Suddenly, a ray of red light shrouded Gu Chaoyan.
