Yun Zhi Yue immediately went limp, allowing Luo to take charge. Once the water had cooled completely, Luo, fearing that Yun Zhi Yue might catch a chill, carefully lifted her out of the bath, dried her off, dressed her in a nightgown, and tucked her under the covers.
At that moment, Yun Zhi Yue was already fast asleep, completely unaware that Luo was by her bedside, standing there until dawn.
At the residence of the Imperial Physician Xing Gong, Wen Ningmo's long hair was a tangled mess, resembling a bird's nest. He sighed in exasperation, covering his face with his hands. What kind of troublesome friends had he made?
As dawn broke, Luo appeared at the head of the bed like a shadow, silent and unyielding, his gaze piercing through the stillness to wake him.
Opening his eyes, Wen Ningmo saw a dark figure by the bed. Fortunately, he noticed a hint of purple at the corner of Luo's eyes; otherwise, he might have thought he was seeing a ghost.
"Hey, you've been standing there for ages without saying a word. What does that mean?" Wen Ningmo asked.
Seeing that Luo remained silent, he decided to give up on communication and lay back down to catch some more sleep. But Luo suddenly said, "Treat me."
Wen Ningmo took ten breaths to comprehend what that meant before abruptly throwing off the covers and sitting up in shock. "You actually want to go through with this? Did you have a dream about it or did you hit your head when you went out?"
His surprise was understandable; they had known each other for many years and Wen Ningmo understood Luo well. Ever since Ling Fei's death, Luo had lost interest in romantic entanglements and had no desire for masculine symbols. Was he finally coming around?
As Wen Ningmo continued to question him, Luo remained silent.
Suddenly, an image flashed through Wen Ningmo's mind: a woman riding a wild horse at full gallop. He gasped in horror. "You can't be thinking about taking someone's head off?"
"Have I not done enough of that already? In this muddy world, I just want to stand on top of everyone else’s heads and reach the peak."
"Even if there's a slight deviation now, it doesn't matter; my goal won't change. I'll handle any deviations myself; you just need to treat me."
Wen Ningmo sighed. Whatever Luo decided to do was beyond his control. "Fine then, take off your pants. I need to examine where to start."
He picked up his medical kit but noticed that Luo was still motionless and said in disbelief, "Are you really not going to—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Luo's expression turned icy as he lifted his shirt with an abrupt motion.
Seeing Luo like this, Wen Ningmo couldn't help but want to laugh. He held it in, knowing that if he laughed out loud, he might end up with a broken leg after all.
As dawn broke, Cui Ling, ignoring the soreness in her neck and the tangled thoughts from last night, pushed open the door and rushed to the bed to wake Yun Zhi Yue.
"Your Highness, wake up! It's happened! Xu Wanyi drowned in the lake last night. His Majesty has sent someone to summon all the consorts."
Yun Zhi Yue's mind was a bit hazy but suddenly cleared at the news. "Dead? So soon? They didn't even wait a whole night."
Damn, that was fast. With Fang Pin announcing her pregnancy, it would surely prompt the Emperor to conduct a thorough investigation of those around him to ensure the safety of the heir. At this moment, if anyone brought up a few points, Xu Wanyi's previous little actions would undoubtedly raise suspicion.
Some people simply couldn't withstand scrutiny; they feared that pulling out a radish would bring out the mud. The best way out was naturally to leave no witnesses behind.
From the moment Fang Pin revealed her pregnancy, she knew Xu Wanyi was doomed, but she hadn't expected it to happen so quickly. Her body still felt a bit sore; this human body was far inferior to that of a blood clan member. Without any real effort, she felt weak and limp.
