The man nodded, "Okay."

Ouyang Leyuan looked at the man in front of him with an almost obsessive fascination, "I really look forward to the day you can see, your eyes are very beautiful."

At this moment, Qin Xiao rode back to the Military Camp at full speed, only to see Xiao Jinyu standing at the entrance of the tent, looking surprised.

"Jinyu, you aren’t waiting for the Crown Princess to come back and cook, are you?"

Xiao Jinyu had indeed been waiting for Shen Chuwei to come back and cook, but after running around on the Battlefield all day, he became so hungry that he couldn’t bear it any longer and went to eat the food in the Camp.

When he finished eating and returned, he found that Shen Chuwei had not come back yet, so he waited here.

"Then I would have to be alive until now," Xiao Jinyu glanced behind Qin Xiao a few times and did not see Shen Chuwei, his expression immediately changed, "Where is my sister-in-law? How did you manage to lose her?"

Qin Xiao explained, "She’s not lost, not lost, the Crown Princess is currently staying in the Xingmiao Clan’s Imperial City. I came back to get some clothes and will be going back tomorrow."

Xiao Jinyu comforted himself by patting his frightened little heart, "You nearly scared me to death. If my sister-in-law were lost, the Crown Prince would definitely be driven mad when he comes back."

Qin Xiao: "..." I didn’t say anything~

Xiao Jinyu regretted, "Can’t eat the food made by my sister-in-law, but finding the Crown Prince is the most important. Once the Crown Prince is back, we can eat every single day."

Qin Xiao: "..."

Shen Chuwei woke up naturally from her sleep, always roused by the feeling of hunger.

Even though Shen Chuwei was only a Doctor, the Imperial City still treated the doctors quite well.

After she finished washing up, the maids had already set breakfast out on the dining table.

Since the maids saw how the Doctor treated her pet, they took the initiative to prepare an extra bowl this time and specifically prepared a steamed fish.

When Shen Chuwei sat down to eat, Xuetuan had already unceremoniously settled down on the chair and was eating gracefully.

After breakfast, it was time for routine checks, just like doing rounds in the modern age.

By the time Shen Chuwei arrived, Ouyang Jingyuan was already placed in a wheelchair by his servants, and compared to yesterday, his complexion hadn’t improved much.

From the moment Shen Chuwei entered, Ouyang Jingyuan’s gaze had been fixed on him, filled with curiosity and inquiry.

Because he had just woken up yesterday, he wasn’t sure if his eyes were deceiving him.

Now, seeing more clearly, it did indeed resemble him.

Shen Chuwei noticed that the other party was staring at her face and frowned, "Hold out your hand."

Ouyang Jingyuan snapped out of it, realizing he had been staring at her and quickly stretched out his hand, each finger wrapped in white medical tape.

Shen Chuwei placed two fingers on his pulse and began to take his pulse.

Ouyang Jingyu watched intently, and as soon as he saw Doctor Shen withdraw her hand, he couldn’t wait to ask, "Doctor Shen, you spoke of sun protection yesterday, how does one protect against the sun?"

Shen Chuwei explained, "Just wear a hat to shield your eyes and face."

Ouyang Jingyu nodded in agreement, "I will have someone prepare it right away."

When everything was ready, the guards wheeled Ouyang Jingyuan out to the yard.

Shen Chuwei cautioned, "The summer sun is very strong, if you feel uncomfortable along the way, you can speak up and have someone wheel you back, don’t force yourself."

Ouyang Jingyuan nodded, "Thank you, Doctor Shen."

The guards pushed Ouyang Jingyuan out into the sunshine, which was very strong at ten in the morning.

Shen Chuwei sat in the Pavilion, drinking tea and eating Pastries.

Xuetuan disliked the summer days the most, as it was too hot; it sprawled lazily on the Pavilion’s bench.

Shen Chuwei picked up her tea cup and saw Ouyang Leyuan sit down opposite her; she noticed that Ouyang Leyuan liked to wear brightly colored red clothes, just as she liked pink.

Ouyang Leyuan didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point, "I want to buy your pet."

Shen Chuwei took a bite of her pastry and replied crisply, "Not for sale."

Ouyang Leyuan asked again, "How much would you want to sell it for?"

Shen Chuwei paused her chewing, "Didn’t I say it? Not for sale."

Ouyang Leyuan offered directly, "I’ll give you five thousand gold for your pet."

"..." Shen Chuwei: "Why can’t you understand the meaning behind my words? I already said it’s not for sale."

Ouyang Leyuan, grinding his teeth, raised his bid, "Ten thousand gold."

Shen Chuwei shook her head helplessly, so young yet not as sensible as a six-year-old child.

Ouyang Leyuan got a little angry, feeling that he just couldn’t recognize a good deal.

"Ten thousand gold is already a lot. If you sell it on the street, you could make a thousand gold at most."

"Last time I’m saying it, not for sale, not even for a hundred thousand," Shen Chuwei said and then took a big bite of her pastry, chewing forcefully.

Ouyang Leyuan left in a huff, never having met someone so unappreciative before.

Shen Chuwei continued to drink her tea until Ouyang Jingyuan was wheeled back and she was sure no accidents had occurred, then she felt at ease leaving the Pavilion.

Qin Xiao came in the morning with a change of clothes; seeing that Shen Chuwei was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.

During the day, with many eyes watching, Shen Chuwei did not dare to go to the courtyard across the way, and the man with the leg injury would find it inconvenient to come over.

After dark, Shen Chuwei carried Xuetuan and was about to head to the other side when Qin Xiao stopped her; she looked up at him puzzled.

"Master, this is the Xingmiao Clan’s Imperial City, famous for its Poisonous Insects. It’s very dangerous," Qin Xiao said.

Shen Chuwei nodded vigorously upon hearing this, "You make sense. It’s better to be cautious in unfamiliar places."

Qin Xiao let out a sigh of relief, only to hear Shen Chuwei say, "So, you should also go with me, to stand guard and keep watch."

Qin Xiao didn’t know what Shen Chuwei was planning to do, but he followed along nonetheless.

As a bodyguard, Qin Xiao was most skilled at protection, so standing guard in the shadows was an easy task for him.

Shen Chuwei carried Xuetuan all the way into the man’s courtyard undetected.

Under the eaves, two red lanterns hung.

The man sat in his wheelchair, leisurely sipping his tea.

Shen Chuwei, carrying Xuetuan, sat down opposite him and greeted him proactively, "I’m here."
