Xiao Yunci went straight to Yongning Palace without avoiding others, because Deng Wu had already quietly replaced all the guards and maids guarding Miss Wen's place, leaving only Qingyue, the talkative one, to accompany Wen Ning.

Wen Ning was leaning on the couch, wearing the cloak that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave her yesterday, and was sneezing.

The sound of her sneeze was also light, like a feather blowing past my head, and then I watched her nose and eyes turn red as she sniffed gently.

Wen Ning heard a noise out of nowhere, turned around and looked outside, only to see Xiao Yunci looking at her solemnly at the door of the wing room.

She was startled and immediately prepared to come down to greet him, but she saw Xiao Yunci walked in directly and said lightly, "No need to greet me, just sit down."

Wen Ning subconsciously shrank back into the bed, while Xiao Yunci came forward and sat beside her on the bed. He glanced at her face and said in an unexpectedly gentle voice, "Cold?"

"Yeah." Wen Ning nodded, her voice full of nasal sounds, "I got caught in the rain yesterday, so I must have caught a cold."

Qingyue stood in the room waiting blankly, but Deng Wu beside her suddenly pulled her wrist and said, "Come out."

Qingyue frowned in confusion, why did she have to go out? She had to stay to serve Miss Wen.

"Wait outside. This is the rule of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Deng Wu said softly.

Qingyue just followed out, and Deng Wu immediately took two steps forward and carefully closed the door of the wing room from the outside.

"Hey, why are you closing the door?..." Qingyue stared, "We are a single man and a single woman..."

So? It's a single man and a single woman... Deng Wu coughed twice and explained, "Your Highness has something important to discuss with Miss Wen. It's very important and no one else can hear it."

“So that’s how it is.” Qingyue suddenly realized.

As soon as the door of the wing room was closed, the room suddenly became dark.

Wen Ning looked up subconsciously and met Xiao Yunci's gaze.

Xiao Yunci was seen sitting beside the couch, his body slightly tilted. Wen Ning's angle was just enough to see the curve of his eyelashes, which were long and curved. Most girls' eyes were not so beautiful.

But his facial features were very sharp, with nearly perfect angles. He was handsome without looking feminine, and he was tall and handsome, which inexplicably attracted people to look at him.

At this moment, Xiao Yunci's pair of brown-black eyes were looking at her heavily, with some emotions flashing in his eyes, but Wen Ning was still unable to see through and understand as usual.

"What do you want, Your Highness?" Wen Ning said softly with a nasal voice.

"Put your hand out." Xiao Yunci said.

Wen Ning didn't think much about it, so she stretched out her hand to him. Xiao Yunci put three fingers together and took her pulse without saying anything.

Wen Ning only felt a heat on her wrist. When their skin touched, the temperature of his fingertips was higher than that of her wrist. She couldn't help but shudder slightly, but her reason stopped her from acting subconsciously.

She gritted her teeth and endured it, but she felt that the situation seemed somewhat familiar... She suddenly remembered the last time he took her pulse. It was at a flower-viewing banquet. She tried her best to pretend to be unconscious in front of everyone, and her heart was beating like a drum.
