"Go up a bit more!"
"Uh..."
Just when Le Yao Yao thought that this lord finally understood the importance of treating his employees well and would let her go, she was met with those words. Le Yao Yao felt as if she had been struck dumb on the spot.
Inside, she was on the verge of tears.
What a nightmare!
Did he really think she was a robot? She was exhausted! Ahhhhh!!!
Although Le Yao Yao was crying out in despair inside, she didn't dare to utter a single 'no.' To be honest, she was terrified!
Thus, the frightened little woman had no choice but to follow the orders of this living hell, slowly moving her hands that had been resting on the man's calves up a little, until they reached his knees.
"Not enough, go up some more."
Unexpectedly, the living hell spoke again.
It wasn't entirely his fault; after all, this little eunuch's massage skills were truly exceptional, far better than those of the eunuchs from before.
Moreover, those previous eunuchs would tremble all over while massaging him, looking like they were having a seizure. It was infuriating to watch. Now that he had encountered someone with such good skills, Leng Junyu naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
However, while his calves were being massaged comfortably, he couldn't just focus on one area.
After all, he was usually busy with work and often felt sore despite being a martial artist.
It was rare to find such a skilled little eunuch; he would have to make sure to have him massage him properly in the future!
Unaware of Leng Junyu's thoughts, Le Yao Yao could only pout after hearing his words and slowly moved her hands a little higher from his knees.
However, it was truly just a little bit. After all, this gentleman was completely shameless, and that large bird of his was so conspicuous. Just a moment ago, she had managed to suppress her racing heart and avoid looking at it. Now, whether he was doing it on purpose or not, even if he took pride in his own bird, he should still consider her, a pure girl without any birds!
Le Yao Yao's heart was in turmoil as she shyly fixed her beautiful eyes on the man's knees, not daring to blink for fear of seeing that thing again—something she shouldn't be looking at.
Moreover, she kept reminding herself that she was a lady, a lady indeed...
Although Le Yao Yao continuously emphasized this point in her mind, someone seemed intent on teasing her. Feeling her hands inching closer, he couldn't help but speak again.
"Move up a little more!"
"Uh..."
At that moment, Le Yao Yao really wanted to quit and leave. Damn it! This wicked Slave Society and its unscrupulous boss!
Unfortunately, when she shot a glare filled with mild anger at the man who looked so lazily content, he happened to lift his long, cold eyes slightly. The cold gaze swept over her with an imposing presence that commanded respect without anger.
"What’s wrong?"
His deep, hoarse voice carried seven parts laziness, two parts magnetism, and one part curiosity. It was so pleasant to hear that it could intoxicate anyone; however, it made Le Yao Yao's heart shiver.
The warmth and anger that had been on her pretty face instantly vanished with those few words. In an instant, she replaced it with a bright smile, her eyes reflecting a flattering eagerness. The speed of her change in expression could rival any Sichuan performance!
"N-nothing..."
What else could she say!? She didn't want to risk her life by admitting anything!
Thus, after saying this, Le Yao Yao dared not make any eye contact with the living embodiment of hell itself, fearing that this gentleman could see right through her thoughts.
After all, although his eyes were somewhat bleary at the moment, the sharpness within them seemed capable of piercing through her entire being with just one glance.
It's really scary to look at the pressure... Le Yao Yao I was a little frightened, so I had to quickly lower my head and continue my massage work. However, because the massage position of her hands was different this time, she couldn't help but glance at the big bird gently. Although she really doesn't want to, she can't control this. After all, this bird was really, really too obvious, really, really, really, and it made her look a little... ahem, she couldn't stop... It turns out that the structure of a man's body is like this, although the teacher also had it when he was studying. She has taught about the body structure of men and women, but this is the first time she has seen such a real one... Although it really makes her very shy, Le Yao Yao also keeps emphasizing in her heart that she is just learning, Learn to understand! Otherwise, just treat it as fake, fake, fake... Le Yao Yao is hypnotizing itself, but when the big bird suddenly bounces and jumps slightly, Le Yao Yao will never be seen again. I can no longer deceive myself. Because...fuck, the bird turned into a big bird! ! ! It can still move! Seeing this, Le Yao Yao was excited, and her pair of bright Beautiful Eyes were even more round because of the shock, her face was full of shock, and her eyes were unknowingly, straight and straight. On top of the man big bird. Compared with the shock of Le Yao Yao, I couldn't believe it. I was originally lying on the ground enjoying the massage of Le Yao Yao, but I gradually started to lose my composure. After all, it would have been awkward for any other man to be stared down with such a burning gaze. Although he was originally proud of his figure, he didn't want to be restrained, so he lay down with his whole body covered in fruit and let the little eunuch massage him. Unexpectedly, this little eunuch actually dared to stare at him with such a burning gaze. That gaze was so bright that the place she looked at gradually seemed to be burning like a cluster of flames.
Immediately, his entire body felt as if the blood was boiling, and then it slowly surged towards that area...
Although he didn't like women, he had always known that he was a normal man, a perfectly normal one!
But why, why was it that now, when a little eunuch looked at him like that, he actually...
Reacted!?
For this realization, Leng Junyu's shock was no less than Le Yao Yao's.
His gaze towards Le Yao Yao was filled with surprise and disbelief.
Unfortunately, at this moment, Le Yao Yao was completely stunned by the scene before her and did not notice Leng Junyu's astonished look. She was captivated by the novelty of what she was witnessing.
Yes, it was indeed novel; after all, this was her first time seeing something like this—such a rare occurrence...
Especially since the person in front of her was an incredibly handsome guy...
Heaven had truly favored him, not only giving him an enviable identity but also a perfect physique. Even that part of him was so perfect that it made one feel...
The more she thought about it, the hotter Le Yao Yao felt. Her body seemed to float, and her cheeks were burning. Suddenly, her nose tingled, and something unexpectedly shot out from her nostrils...
With a 'plop,' a drop of bright red blood fell directly onto the powerful thigh of the living devil Bronze, resembling a vibrant red plum blossom—so vivid and beautiful.
Then came another drop, and another...
"Uh..."
"..."
As they stared at the sudden scene before them, Le Yao Yao and Leng Junyu were both momentarily stunned.
Le Yao Yao felt a loud 'bang' in her head, completely overwhelmed by shock!
Oh my!
She... she... she actually got so flustered by the handsome man that she started to nosebleed...
Moreover, the blood was gushing out uncontrollably, showing no signs of stopping.
In the end, not only did it stain the thigh of the living hell, but it also splattered onto his... well, you know...
At that moment, Le Yao Yao was utterly flustered.
A blood-red bird indeed...
In contrast to Le Yao Yao's shock, Leng Junyu blinked for a moment. Upon seeing the bloody scene on his thigh, his handsome face instantly flushed with embarrassment.
Soon after, a faint blush quickly spread across his beautiful cheeks.
After all, he too was taken aback by what he was witnessing.
This was an experience he had never encountered before.
Although he truly believed he had a great physique,
never had anyone dared to gaze at him in such a way and then nosebleed.
With this thought, while Leng Junyu felt a sense of pride, there was even more shyness within him.
He could clearly feel the blood dripping onto himself, like a series of fiery sparks igniting a restless desire within him.
For the first time, he experienced a physiological need for someone, but unfortunately, that someone was a eunuch!?
Could it be that he was truly abnormal?
As this thought crossed his mind, Leng Junyu's eyes flickered with surprise and disbelief. He quickly reached for a towel beside him and covered up the source of his burgeoning desire.
However, the towel was quite thin, providing only a vague sense of concealment that only intensified the burning sensation within him.
Le Yao Yao, witnessing this, felt her nosebleed intensifying. Despite pressing her hands tightly against her nose, blood continued to flow uncontrollably.
Le Yao Yao was genuinely afraid that she might die from excessive blood loss.
Death frightened her; if she were to die from losing too much blood just by looking at a handsome man, it would be an utterly unjust fate!
Thus, in order to avoid dying for such a ridiculous reason, Le Yao Yao didn’t wait for the living hell to speak. She covered her nose and quickly stood up, then dashed away as fast as she could.
Damn this Slave Society!
Damn this living hell!
Damn that big bird!
As Leng Junyu watched the small figure swiftly escape and gradually disappear from sight, his handsome face displayed a mix of astonishment, bewilderment, embarrassment, and a hint of shyness...
Le Yao Yao ran with all her might and finally made it back to her little room.
With a loud bang, the wooden door was shut tightly. Le Yao Yao pressed her hand against her wildly beating heart, her body weakly leaning against the door, slowly sliding down to the floor.
Oh my! What just happened to her!?
It was so embarrassing!
She was supposed to be a pure and virtuous lady, yet she had gushed blood from her nose over a man's... well, anatomy. Although that man was undeniably charming, ahhh, if anyone found out about this, how could she ever face anyone again!?
Moreover, she had rushed back without waiting for the orders of the living Yama. She wondered if he would be angry.
But right now, she couldn't care less about that.
So much had happened today; it was like one wave after another.
First, she had hit that pig-headed Master Shi. Then Master Shi came looking for her, and she ended up being punished by kneeling. Finally, she was called to serve the living Yama.
She was human, not a deity! Plus, this body was just too frail.
When she was punished to kneel earlier, she had already started to struggle.
Although it was early summer, the night air was still quite cool. After the heavy rain earlier, she had to kneel there holding a water basin. Later on, she had to exert herself to give the living Yama a massage...
She hadn't felt much at that moment, but now that she was alone, Le Yao Yao realized her whole body ached terribly.
It felt as if her entire body didn't belong to her; not only did her hands and knees hurt, but her head also felt dizzy.
Her head felt heavy, and she was so cold. She just wanted to sleep...
At this moment, Le Yao Yao felt very uncomfortable; her eyelids were gradually becoming heavier.
After several repeated attempts to open and close her eyes, Le Yao Yao could no longer resist the wave of dizziness that washed over her. In less than a moment, she was completely engulfed by the dark whirlpool.
Surrounded by darkness, Le Yao Yao had no idea where she was. It felt as if she were trapped in a world of torment.
Suddenly, she felt an intense chill, as if she had fallen into an Ice Cave. In the next instant, her body was burning hot, as if she were standing in a desert under a blazing sun that radiated an overwhelming heat, nearly turning her into a roasted pig.
The alternating sensations of cold and heat made Le Yao Yao extremely uncomfortable; she wanted to scream and cry out loud.
However, it felt like her throat was stuffed with cotton, and no matter how hard she tried, not a single sound would escape her lips.
Moreover, her throat felt as if it were on fire—painful and unbearable.
Oh heavens! She wished for death; anything would be better than this torment.
Just as Le Yao Yao was pleading for relief, she suddenly felt her body being shaken repeatedly, as if someone were trying to rouse her.
She could hear someone shouting nearby, but she was too exhausted to care. Eventually, Le Yao Yao slipped back into darkness once more.
While Le Yao Yao lay unconscious, Little Muzi was utterly terrified by her appearance.
After finishing work, Little Muzi waited for a long time in the dining hall but did not see Le Yao Yao come for a meal.
Later, he heard from Little Li that Le Yao Yao had been punished by kneeling and then summoned by the prince to serve him.
Worried about what punishment Le Yao Yao might face from the prince, Little Muzi was increasingly anxious.
However, the Elegant Breeze Pavilion of the prince was off-limits to anyone without permission, leaving him helpless in his worry.
Later, when Chef Li learned about this, he comforted him and told him to eat his fill first. He would keep Xiaoyaozi's portion for him.
After all, there was a rule in the Wangfu that if someone did not come for a meal after the designated time, the food would not be saved.
However, Chef Li remembered how Le Yao Yao had stood up for him last time, so he naturally took special care of her.
He even patted his chest in front of Little Muzi, assuring him that as long as he was around, Xiaoyaozi would never go hungry.
Upon hearing this, Little Muzi felt relieved.
After finishing his meal, he hurried back to his lodging. His room was right next to Le Yao Yao's, and he wanted to check if she had returned.
However, after calling out for a long time with no response from inside the room, just as Little Muzi was starting to think that Le Yao Yao had not come back yet, some strange sounds came from behind the door.
It sounded like painful moans. Little Muzi was alarmed and thought that Le Yao Yao had been punished. Without a second thought, he kicked the wooden door open with all his might.
In truth, they were the lowest-ranking eunuchs in the Wangfu, and their living conditions were certainly not great.
However, it was much better than the servants outside who had to squeeze into one room together. After all, they each had their own small room, even if it was only a few square meters that could barely fit a wooden bed and a simple wooden table.
But at that moment, Little Muzi was anxious and feared something might happen to Le Yao Yao inside. He used all his strength to kick open the rickety wooden door.
What he never expected was that Le Yao Yao was right behind that door.
As soon as he kicked it open, she stumbled forward. Little Muzi's heart nearly leaped out of his throat in shock.
Especially when he noticed that Le Yao Yao was burning up with fever and her face was unusually flushed, he realized she had a high fever.
Moreover, it seemed particularly severe!
Little Muzi's face turned pale in an instant, his eyes filled with panic and fear.
He remembered that his younger brother had once passed away due to a high fever. Now, Le Yao Yao's situation was just like his brother's back then...
Seeing this, Little Muzi shook Le Yao Yao vigorously, but when she remained unconscious, he quickly dashed out of the room.
The only person who could save Le Yao Yao now was Chief Eunuch.
He had to find Chief Eunuch and explain Le Yao Yao's condition so that a doctor could come and take a look; otherwise, otherwise...
He couldn't let anything happen to Le Yao Yao...
Outside, the heavy rain fell incessantly.
In the room, one window was open, allowing the wind and rain to pour in, bringing a slight chill...
At that moment, Leng Junyu lay on the bed, listening to the sound of rain outside, unable to sleep.
Whether it was due to the events that had just occurred or worries about the common people, Leng Junyu felt a sense of unease and frustration in his heart, as if something bad had happened...
This kind of anxiety was something he had never experienced before, leaving him puzzled.
What exactly had happened that he didn't know about!?
As he pondered this in his mind, after tossing and turning in bed for a while, he still couldn't shake off his restlessness. He simply threw on a thin robe, pushed open the Carved Wooden Door, and stepped outside.
The sky was pitch black, resembling a devil with a wide mouth. The cold rain fell endlessly, causing the temperature to drop significantly tonight; it felt quite chilly.
The torrential rain acted like a natural screen, isolating the surroundings and only allowing a faint glimpse of the Sandal hanging in the distance and the patrolling guards.
Leng Junyu wandered aimlessly, his steps light; if one did not pay close attention, they would hardly notice his presence.
He had no idea how long he had been walking, but when Leng Junyu came to his senses, he realized he had unknowingly stepped out of his Elegant Breeze Pavilion.
The architecture of the royal residence was winding and intricate, so even the corridors twisted and turned, connecting Elegant Breeze Pavilion to various courtyards around the palace.
Moreover, despite the rain, walking within the corridors kept one dry.
At this moment, in front of Leng Junyu, there were quarters for some servants.
The residence of the Chief Eunuch was also ahead.
Although this was a servant's area, it was quite elegant because the Chief Eunuch, aside from the prince, held the highest authority in the palace. Thus, his courtyard was very refined.
As night deepened, the surroundings fell silent. When Leng Junyu regained his focus, he intended to turn back toward his Elegant Breeze Pavilion. However, at that moment, a flurry of anxious exclamations came from within the Chief Eunuch's courtyard.
Since it was late at night, apart from the sound of rain, there was nothing else to be heard. With Leng Junyu's keen hearing, even without trying to listen closely, he could catch every word of the conversation coming from the Chief Eunuch's courtyard.
However, Leng Junyu had no interest in these matters and turned to move forward.
Yet just as he took a few steps, upon hearing the name ‘Xiaoyaozi’, he froze instantly; his feet that were moving forward came to an abrupt halt.
Unbeknownst to Leng Junyu, outside the courtyard, Little Muzi knelt anxiously at the feet of the Chief Eunuch, pleading desperately.
“Chief Eunuch, please! I beg you to save Xiaoyaozi! He has a high fever right now; if we don’t get a doctor to see him soon, he will surely die!”
“Oh dear, Little Muzi, it’s not that we don’t want to help; it’s just that it’s so late now. All the clinics outside are closed. Where can we find a doctor at this hour?”
Looking at Little Muzi's face filled with pleading and panic, Chief Eunuch could only respond with a helpless expression.
Moreover, he was speaking the truth; it was pouring outside, and all the medical clinics were closed. Where could they possibly find a doctor!?
Little Muzi understood this as well, which only made him more anxious.
"But, but what should we do now? What about Xiaoyaozi!?"
"Ah, we have some medicine in our house. I don't know if it will be effective, but since finding a doctor is impossible right now, we might as well give him some medicine. The outcome will depend on his own fortune!"
Chief Eunuch was not someone who would stand by and do nothing, but there was little else he could do at this moment.
Thus, Chief Eunuch planned to take some medicine from his room to prepare for Little Muzi to deliver to Xiaoyaozi. Whether Xiaoyaozi could be saved would depend solely on his own fate.
After all, within the royal residence, the life of a servant truly held little value…
Just as Chief Eunuch sighed inwardly, suddenly, a lanky figure appeared in the courtyard.
Outside, the sky was pitch black and rain poured down heavily. The palace lanterns hanging from the eaves swayed in the cold wind, struggling to emit a faint light.
The man's arrival was silent and stealthy, like a specter; his skills were extraordinary, akin to a whirlwind.
Chief Eunuch felt a gust of cold wind rush toward him before he even realized what was happening—Leng Junyu was already standing in front of him.
Seeing this made Chief Eunuch momentarily stunned, but he quickly regained his composure and asked,
"Your Highness?"
"Chief Eunuch, send someone to the palace to summon the Imperial Physician!"
Leng Junyu spoke softly, his voice ethereal amidst the heavy rain of the night, making it feel somewhat unreal.
Upon hearing this, Chief Eunuch's eyes widened slightly, thinking he must have misheard. However, as he looked at the handsome face of the man before him, he realized that despite Leng Junyu's cold and indifferent demeanor, he had watched him grow up and understood his temperament better than anyone else.
What surprised Chief Eunuch was that the prince would actually go to the palace to summon an Imperial Physician for a mere little eunuch. Moreover, this Imperial Physician was known to be the best in the Imperial Medical Institute...
This was simply unbelievable!
Perhaps sensing the astonishment in Chief Eunuch's gaze, Leng Junyu's cold eyes flickered with a hint of embarrassment. Although it was fleeting, Chief Eunuch caught it nonetheless.
His old face flushed slightly, and a faint smile appeared.
It seemed that the prince was beginning to show some humanity; this could only be a good thing!
With a sigh of relief in his heart, Chief Eunuch immediately responded, "Yes, my lord! I will take care of it right away!"
Meanwhile, Little Muzi, upon hearing Leng Junyu's words, was overwhelmed with shock and couldn't help but kneel and thank him repeatedly.
"Thank you, my lord! Thank you so much..."
"Mm."
To Little Muzi's gratitude, Leng Junyu remained indifferent. His mind had already drifted to that delicate little eunuch who had fallen ill.
The thought of 'him' being sick made his heart clench painfully.
Finally, when the Chief Eunuch sent someone to the palace to summon the Imperial Physician, Leng Junyu couldn't help but ask Little Muzi in front of him, "Where does Xiaoyaozi live?"
...
When Leng Junyu arrived outside the house where Le Yao Yao lived, his handsome brows furrowed slightly. After all, this was Leng Junyu's first time visiting the servants' quarters, and he was surprised to find that it was so humble.
It was a row of narrow bungalows, with a small courtyard in front. There were some racks above, presumably for drying clothes.
Next to the racks stood a well, and from within the bungalows ahead, faint candlelight flickered, indicating that there were people inside.
However, some rooms were pitch dark. Among them, one particularly dark room had a simple Carved Wooden Door that was ajar.
The cold wind howled as it blew in, causing the Carved Wooden Door to creak ominously, making one worry that it might fall off at any moment. This room was where Le Yao Yao currently resided.
"Xiaoyaozi lives here!?" Leng Junyu exclaimed as he looked at the shabby room, the narrow entrance, and the creaking door that seemed ready to collapse. His tone reflected disbelief.
Little Muzi quickly responded to Leng Junyu's question. "Yes, Xiaoyaozi lives inside."
Although Little Muzi was surprised that Leng Junyu would come to see Xiaoyaozi, his heart raced with anxiety over Xiaoyaozi's situation, leaving him little time to think about anything else.
As Leng Junyu arrived at Xiaoyaozi's door, he looked inside at the pitch-black scene and immediately stepped in. He grabbed an oil lamp from the side and lit it, making it easier for Leng Junyu to see the surroundings.
The room was small, just a few square meters, but it contained a simple wooden bed, a rudimentary wooden table, and a stool. At the foot of the bed, there was also a small wooden cabinet.
Earlier, Little Muzi had been anxiously searching for Chief Eunuch to save Le Yao Yao, so after helping her onto the bed, he hurriedly ran out.
Unbeknownst to him, perhaps due to Little Muzi's small stature, Le Yao Yao had rolled off the bed and onto the floor.
Upon lighting the oil lamp, Little Muzi exclaimed and turned around, intending to lift Le Yao Yao back onto the bed. However, at that moment, someone else had already beaten him to it and picked up Le Yao Yao from the ground.
Yet, when that person lifted Le Yao Yao, he did not place her back on the bed. Cold Eyes glanced around with some disdain before frowning and addressing the still-stunned Little Muzi beside him.
"You stay here. When Chief Eunuch and the Imperial Physician arrive, let them go to Elegant Breeze Pavilion."
With that said, before Little Muzi could react, Leng Junyu had already taken Le Yao Yao and left.
Little Muzi remained dumbfounded, unable to regain his senses for a long time...
In contrast to Little Muzi's shock, Le Yao Yao, who was currently unconscious, was completely unaware of what was happening.
Although she was in a state of unconsciousness, she still felt something. Just moments ago, she had felt extremely cold, as if she had fallen into a thousand-year-old ice cave; it was so cold that her blood seemed to freeze.
She wanted to scream, but unfortunately, no one could hear her.
It felt as though she was in a desolate space—cold and lonely.
She felt a deep sense of discomfort and confusion.
Just when she was at her most helpless, her cold body was suddenly enveloped by a warm embrace.
The warmth felt like the gentle sunlight of March, pleasant and soothing, melting away the chill that clung to her.
Her body felt as if it were floating on a sea of clouds, utterly comfortable.
Oh my, could it be that she had ascended to heaven!?
This sensation was truly delightful, so much so that she wanted to sigh in contentment.
Her body instinctively leaned closer to the source of warmth.
However, Le Yao Yao had no idea whose arms she was nestled in. If she had known, she would never have dared to fall into such a deep slumber so comfortably...
Yet, Le Yao Yao's behavior, curling up like a lazy little kitten in his embrace, caused Leng Junyu's previously furrowed brows to slowly relax.
His steps did not falter, but his cold eyes gradually softened as they gazed down at the person in his arms.
A tiny body, a small face, a little nose, and a small mouth...
He was indeed very small.
But not in a malnourished way.
Because his skin was incredibly tender and supple. Although his cheeks were flushed from a high fever, resembling a ripe red apple, making one unable to resist the urge to take a gentle bite.
Moreover, his small hand tightly grasping the collar of Leng Junyu's clothing was delicate and fair, with slender fingers that looked like freshly sprouted bamboo shoots—truly beautiful.
It was so enticing that one couldn't help but want to touch and play with it.
However, the lightness of the person in his arms made Leng Junyu furrow his brows again.
Why is she so light!? Like a feather, completely weightless. Could it be that she doesn't eat well!?
No wonder she gets sick so easily; I need to make sure she gets proper nourishment from now on...
As these thoughts crossed Leng Junyu's mind, he had already carried Le Yao Yao into his Elegant Breeze Pavilion.
The Elegant Breeze Pavilion had many rooms, but not many people lived there.
Aside from a few rooms occupied by Charming Moon Star and several Shadow Guards, the rest of the rooms were empty.
However, Charming Moon Star and her companions did not stay here long-term; they spent most of their time attending to his affairs throughout the year.
Except for Yue, who had been by his side all year round.
Moreover, due to his preference for tranquility, no one was allowed inside the Elegant Breeze Pavilion when he was present. Therefore, at this moment, the pavilion was quiet, with only the sound of the rain pattering outside...
Leng Junyu carried Le Yao Yao directly to his room.
Because outside his room, there was a small chamber.
This building had been constructed when he moved in as a prince.
Each Noble Family's room would have a small chamber outside for their personal attendants to reside in.
Yet here, it had always remained empty.
After all, within the royal residence, aside from the Chief Eunuch and his few Shadow Guards, the other servants regarded him as if they had seen the Yama King.
Although he was aware of the rumors circulating about him, he certainly did not want to hear of anyone being scared to death by him in the middle of the night.
Yet now, he wanted to keep the young eunuch in his arms close to him...
Because this young eunuch was, so far, someone he did not dislike; perhaps, he even felt a bit of fondness...
However, his fondness for 'him' only stemmed from 'his' interesting nature!
Yes, it must be that way!
Leng Junyu emphasized this in his heart.
But he failed to notice that his gaze towards the young eunuch on the bed was surprisingly gentle...
Until the sound of soft footsteps outside pulled Leng Junyu's thoughts back.
"Reporting to the prince, the Imperial Physician has arrived."
The Chief Eunuch dutifully whispered from outside the door.
"Alright, let the Imperial Physician come in!"
Upon hearing this, Leng Junyu stepped back a few paces, moving to the window. With his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze did not fall on Le Yao Yao but instead drifted to the rainy scene outside.
As his words fell, the previously slightly ajar Carved Wooden Door creaked open with a soft sound.
Accompanied by a gust of cold wind, the Chief Eunuch led the Imperial Physician into the room.
The Imperial Physician was the best healer in the Imperial Hospital, usually responsible for treating the Emperor and a few favored concubines. Of course, if the Living King of Hell summoned him, he would pack his medicine box without hesitation and rush over.
After all, who was the Living King of Hell?
Not only was he the Emperor's only brother, but he was also highly skilled in martial arts, possessing extraordinary abilities and striking good looks. His favor with the Emperor was unmatched.
Even if someone offended anyone else, they would not dare to offend the Living King of Hell.
Thus, when the Chief Eunuch sent word, the Imperial Physician hurried through the heavy rain and wind to arrive.
At this moment, the hem of his deep red robes was soaked with rainwater, but he paid it no mind. Instead, he lowered his head and respectfully bowed to Leng Junyu.
"Your Highness, may you be blessed."
"Mm, rise."
Without turning around, Leng Junyu's voice remained cold, carrying an oppressive chill akin to a winter wind that suddenly swept through December. This kind of pressure was something the Imperial Physician had never experienced even in front of the Emperor.
Feeling a shiver run down his spine, the Imperial Physician focused intently on Leng Junyu, determined to handle the situation well.
"Is there something wrong with your health, Your Highness? Please sit down; allow me to take your pulse!"
"Who said this prince is ill?!"
Hearing the Imperial Physician's words, Leng Junyu slightly turned his head, revealing his handsome profile.
His cold eyes swept lightly over the Imperial Physician, carrying a hint of frost.
The Imperial Physician felt a jolt run through him; he froze momentarily, his face showing signs of confusion.
"This..."
The Imperial Physician was at a loss for words, unsure of what to say, and simply directed his gaze toward the Chief Eunuch beside him.
After all, it was the Chief Eunuch who had sent someone to fetch him. However, the messenger had not mentioned anything at that time. Thus, he assumed that the prince was ill, wasn't that the case!?
Upon receiving the Imperial Physician's puzzled look, the Chief Eunuch shifted his gaze and gestured toward a certain direction.
Seeing this, the Imperial Physician followed the Chief Eunuch's line of sight. When he spotted a small eunuch lying nearby in a deep sleep, his lips twitched slightly. He suddenly felt speechless.
So, in the middle of the night, with heavy rain pouring down, the prince had hurriedly summoned him here just to treat a small eunuch!?
The Imperial Physician felt somewhat dissatisfied about this.
After all, he was the best physician in the Imperial Medical Institute...
However, just as these thoughts crossed his mind, Leng Junyu swept his cold eyes over him as if he had already guessed what the Imperial Physician was thinking. His brows furrowed slightly, and his red lips parted lightly, his tone icy.
"If you can't save him, then just bury him with him!"
Leng Junyu's voice was low and slow, but his words instantly raised the Imperial Physician's heart into his throat.
Any disdain or dissatisfaction he had felt vanished in an instant.
After all, having spent so long in the Imperial Medical Institute, he had heard plenty about this lord's reputation.
Although this lord possessed exceptional martial skills and enjoyed favor from the emperor, his temperament was unpredictable and ruthless. If one were to offend him, even if the emperor himself interceded on their behalf, their life would be in jeopardy...
Thinking of this, the Imperial Physician dared not dwell on anything else. Instead, he focused all his attention and earnestly began to take Le Yao Yao's pulse.
Although the Imperial Physician had a proud temperament, his medical skills were quite impressive.
After taking Le Yao Yao's pulse, he immediately began acupuncture. In less than a moment, Le Yao Yao's previously flushed face gradually returned to its normal color, and her tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
Seeing this, Leng Junyu's expression remained unchanged, but he felt a sense of relief in his heart.
Once the Imperial Physician prescribed medicine for Le Yao Yao and mentioned a few precautions, he left the room.
The Chief Eunuch personally escorted him out, leaving only Leng Junyu and Le Yao Yao in the room once again.
Although the Imperial Physician had said that Le Yao Yao's fever had subsided, it would take several hours for her to wake up.
At this moment, Leng Junyu couldn't help but gaze intently at the Little One lying on the bed.
He noticed that the excessive redness on her face had faded, leaving only a light blush, reminiscent of cherry blossoms just blooming on branches in March—beautiful and vibrant.
So beautiful that it made his heart flutter.
It felt as if a cute little kitten was playfully scratching at his heart. He knew he shouldn't feel this way, yet he couldn't help but slowly lift his hand and extend a finger toward her tender cheek.
As Leng Junyu's finger made contact with her skin, he felt a tingling sensation like an electric current rapidly coursing from his fingertip throughout his entire body.
This tingling surprised him.
However, what astonished him even more was how soft and smooth the skin on her cheek truly was…
Soft, warm…
It felt delightful to touch.
In that moment, Leng Junyu felt an irresistible urge.
He was even more surprised to find that his skin was truly exquisite. Moreover, his features were remarkably delicate.
It was a pity that he was born into a poor family and had become a eunuch; otherwise, his charm would surely be unmatched!
And he was so petite. Was it due to his age that he hadn’t fully developed, making him so small?
Although he was a eunuch and would never find a wife, such a tiny frame seemed as if it could be blown away by the slightest breeze. How could that be acceptable?
Thinking of this, Leng Junyu couldn't help but furrow his brow lightly.
Then, without realizing it, the fingers that had been caressing the young man's cheek began to move toward his small hand.
In truth, he had wanted to touch that little hand for quite some time.
He was genuinely curious about why a man's hand could be so small, resembling that of a woman.
With a stretch of his large hand, he enveloped the small hand entirely, feeling as though it could fit snugly within his grasp.
Moreover, upon closer inspection, he noticed that there were no calluses at all on the palm of his hand.
It was pink and incredibly tender.
Comparing it to his own hand, from the back it appeared long and slender; however, when opened up, the thick and hard calluses on his palm were truly unflattering.
As Leng Junyu rubbed Le Yao Yao's delicate little hand with his large one, the previously unconscious Le Yao Yao couldn't help but pout slightly.
After the fever subsided, Le Yao Yao felt much better. She had been sleeping soundly, but faintly, she sensed an itch on her cheek, as if something was gently brushing against it.
Eventually, her small hand was enveloped by a large, sturdy palm.
The person's hand was truly enormous, with something hard rubbing against her palm.
It made her hand tingle a bit, but the sensation was warm and familiar, as if...
The one playing with Le Yao Yao's small hand, Leng Junyu, noticed her slightly pouting small mouth, resembling a cute little kitten.
Moreover, the contentment in his brows and the faint smile at the corners of his mouth suggested he was either thinking of something or dreaming of a beautiful dream, causing his lips to curve upward involuntarily.
Especially when he looked at the person below him whose lips were moving as if murmuring in their sleep, it piqued his curiosity. Thus, he leaned down closer to hear what they were saying.
However, when he finally caught the words from below, the smile on Leng Junyu's face instantly froze because—
“Daddy…”
