1592 He Felt A Chill In His Heart And No Longer Wanted To Speak To Her

He looked at the table nearby which wafted with the aroma of delicious food and he watched as the girl ate them with gusto. Beitang You instantly lost his appetite.

The imperial kitchen had taken an effort to prepare a variety of tasty and healthy breakfasts today, which included Crystal Shrimp Dumplings, Soupy Pork Dumplings, chicken congee, and many others.

Yaoyao tasted each of the dishes and only put down her chopsticks after she was full. When she looked at Beitang You’s bowl of light congee, she found that he had only taken a few mouthfuls.

“Why didn’t you finish it?”

“Do you think I’m able to even eat this?” Beitang You replied with a slight grievance.

Yaoyao nodded. “That’s true. Your appetite is lost when you’re sick. It’s normal.” With that, she took the bowl away from his hands.

Beitang You, “…”

It was not long before Chen Jin returned with the medicine. He wanted to serve it directly to his master, but when he saw his master’s expressionless face, he gave this some thought and passed the bowl to Yaoyao instead.

Yaoyao darted him a look. “Why are you giving it to me? You should give this directly to your master.”

Chen Jin rubbed his hands and said, “I still have some matters to see to, I’ll take my leave first.” With that, he made a run for it.

Yaoyao had no choice but to get up and give Beitang You the medicine.

After Beitang You took the medicine, he picked up a Palace Memorial by the side to read, but Yaoyao stopped him.

“You should be resting now that you’re sick. Put your work aside first.”

Beitang You had no choice but to put down the Palace Memorial. When he saw Yaoyao still standing at the side, he raised his eyebrow. “Go out and have some fun, Yaoyao. I’ll be taking a nap.”

Yaoyao took a stool and sat next to his bed. “I have nothing on today. I’ll stay here to accompany you.” She knew that Beitang You wanted to get rid of her so that he could secretly work on the Palace Memorials. He would probably begin working the moment she left.

“Didn’t you say you would be meeting Hexin for an outing? It’s getting late. Why aren’t you leaving now?” Beitang You asked.

“That’s because you’re sick now. I’ve already gotten Chen Jin to send someone to inform her not to wait for me.” Yaoyao picked up a plate full of sunflower seeds from the table and returned to sit on the stool.

Beitang You suddenly smiled when he saw the girl seriously cracking the sunflower seeds. “Yaoyao, didn’t you say that you weren’t worried about me?”

Yaoyao darted a look at him. “I couldn’t bear it if even a little animal had gotten sick.” Yes, that was how kind she was.

Beitang You choked. “Am I the same as a little animal in your eyes?”

Yaoyao nodded. “That’s right.”

Beitang You felt a chill in his heart and no longer wanted to speak to her.

Beitang You had thought he would not be able to fall asleep, but when he listened to the girl softly cracking the sunflower seeds, he drifted off to sleep very soon.

Yaoyao put the sunflower seeds away when she saw he had fallen asleep. She was just about to leave when Zhang Yu came hurrying in.

“Princess, His Majesty is…”

Yaoyao immediately put a finger to her lips, signaling him to be quiet. She later spoke to him in a very soft voice, “He’s asleep.”

Zhang Yu went in closer and saw Beitang You sound asleep and he quickly gestured respectfully for Yaoyao to head out.

Yaoyao knew he had something to say to her when he did this and she followed him out of the bedchamber.

“Uncle Zhang, do you have something to say to me?” Yaoyao asked when they walked out.

Zhang Yu turned and looked at the daintily pretty and obedient girl in front of him and said with feeling and benevolence, “It’s nothing, really. I just wanted to thank you for taking care of His Majesty.”

Yaoyao was quite shy to hear this. “You don’t need to thank me. I didn’t really do anything.”
