Chapter 196 – Don't you dare hurt my baby! (1)

Wow, he even said that he really miss him . Ji Man twitched her lips; she really wanted to ask, “Your Highness, are you gay?”

However, the crown prince was no longer showing his usual lazy smile, and his joking demeanor had disappeared . His imperial crown was flas.h.i.+ng with a golden radiance . His sharp eyes seemed to be aggressively saying that the world was within his grasp .

It appeared that he had become angered by the recent s.h.i.+fts in power . Was the cobrlike crown prince finally about to face his opponent head-on?

Ji Man straightened her posture, sighed, and said, “Your Highness, you're the heir to the crown . If you end up getting sick because of Yuxuan, then all of lives in Marquis Moyu's household won't be enough to compensate the nation . Yuxuan was still feverish last night, and he's not very clear-headed right now . Your Highness, if you insist on seeing him, how stopping at the doorway and talking to him from there? This servant will have Guibai put down the bed curtains . ”

Zhao Zhe stared at her, then he suddenly stroked her cheek with the back of his hand and started to move his hand down to touch her belly .

Guibai and Liu Hanyun were still standing nearby them, but this person dared to overstep propriety in front of witnesses .

Ji Man's expression immediately sunk . She took a step back to avoid his touch and coldly said, “Your Highness, please conduct yourself with dignity . ”

Zhao Zhe chuckled, but his eyes were icy as he looked at her . He took a step closer, lowered his head, and whispered into her ear, “You've become a scourge after all . That time at the river, I shouldn't have been weak-hearted . ”

Remembering the icy river that had chilled her the bones, Ji Man's face paled . She clenched her fist and met his eyes as she said, “Your Highness, thank you for your benevolence back then . Sangyu remembers that moment from the bottom of my heart . You have Sangyu's undying grat.i.tude . ”

“Haha,” The crown prince raised his head and turns his gaze towards Marquis Moyu's room . “Yuxuan had been able to temporarily hide, but he can't hide forever . As a woman, you should just stay out of this . ”

After saying this, he went around Nie Sangyu and pushed open the doors .

Ji Man could only follow after him .

Marquis Moyu was lying in bed . His handsome face was covered in red dots, and his overly flushed cheeks gave off the impression that he really was feverish to the point of being muddle-headed .

The crown prince glanced at him, then he looked at the nearby Imperial Physician Lin and said, “This prince's imperial physician has recently figured out a treatment method for curing smallpox . He came with this prince, and he's right outside . Imperial Physician Lin, you can go and compare notes with him . ”

As soon as he heard these words, Imperial Physician Lin's eyes brightened, and he left the room right away . He didn't notice Nie Sangyu's meaningful glance at all .

Looking at the two women, Zhao Zhe said, “Please bring me some tea . ” He clearly wanted everyone to leave the room .

Ji Man didn't leave and sent Liu Hanyun to get the tea by herself .
