The concubine is soft and charming, and the prince is willing to seduce her

Chapter 16 Can't Even Run?
The Crown Prince's tall and straight figure gave people a sense of oppression for no reason. Nan Zhiyu leaned in his arms and said with a tone full of grievance: "It was obviously His Highness who used the dagger to scare people first."

He looked at the person in his arms with a complicated expression. She was a concubine's daughter in the mansion and had not received much teaching from the mistress, so her mind was ultimately simple.

Nan Zhiyu's white and tender fingertips tugged at his sleeve and muttered, "I was frightened at that time. Your Highness had a cold face and didn't say a word."

Touching the red blood on her cheek, his usually stern and serious face now showed a bit of gentleness, "Call the female doctor over."

Nan Zhiyu sat on the couch and tilted her head to look at him, but the expression on the Crown Prince's face was always indifferent and difficult to understand, making it really difficult to read his expression.

The accusing voice became smaller and smaller: "Then again, even if His Highness really wants my life, what can I do?"

His Royal Highness raised his hand and pinched her chin, saying with a half-smile: "So you are just standing there like a wooden stake, not moving at all, and you can't even run?"

I have never seen such a stupid person!

Nan Zhiyu puffed her cheeks and hummed twice, "I'm not that stupid, I'm very smart."

"Where's your cleverness?" Wei Qingye stared at her and asked, "Why didn't I see that?"

Nan Zhiyu hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Next time I encounter danger, I will run away and come to ask His Highness for help."

Chai Hui brought the female doctor back quickly, fearing that anything might be delayed.

This was also the first time that the female doctor came to Chengqian Palace, and she was very curious.

When his eyes fell on Nan Zhiyu's face, he was obviously stunned.

There are many concubines in the harem, and many of them are outstanding in appearance. However, there is absolutely no one like Nan Zhiyu, who is a perfect blend of gentleness and brightness.

Wei Qingye was very displeased. The look this female doctor gave Nan Zhiyu was too hot.

Chai Hui coughed twice in time and said, "Doctor Qian, what are you still doing standing there? Hurry up and treat her!"

The female doctor came to her senses and hurried forward to ask, "I wonder what's wrong with you, sir?"

Nan Zhiyu showed her injured face and asked timidly, "Will it leave a scar?"

The skin on her cheek was white with a rosy glow, which was very beautiful, but now there was a streak of bright red blood on it, which made it particularly glaring.

After a careful examination, the female doctor finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, the wound is not very deep. As long as the medicine is applied properly, the scar will fade and basically be invisible."

The female doctor took out a piece of cotton wool from the medicine box, dipped it in some boiled white wine, and said softly, "Young lady, please be patient for a moment. The wound needs to be treated before you can apply the medicine."

Nan Zhiyu nodded obediently, "I'm not afraid..."

Before she could even say the word "pain" shamelessly, she felt a burning pain so severe that she let out a "hmm~" sound.

Nan Zhiyu was startled by her own voice. She bit her lip to cover up, but she couldn't stop her head from shrinking back subconsciously.

Wei Qingye couldn't bear it any longer, so he raised his hand and grabbed her neck, holding her in his arms, and said coldly, "Be gentle."

Even so, the Chongming Hall was filled with Nan Zhiyu's pitiful sounds.

After the maid had treated the wound, her head was already covered in sweat. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "My dear, just pay attention to your diet and apply the medicine on time."

Nan Zhiyu looked like she was being tortured, with tears on her curled eyelashes that were about to fall away, and her red lips were bitten to make them look even more red and charming.

"Chai Hui, go get the jade face cream." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt that her pitiful appearance was very annoying. If she did this on the bed, he would not show mercy.

The man took some of the white jade cream and applied it carefully to the wound on her cheek. "You have been listening a lot these days. Let the maidservant help you apply the medicine."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Wei Qingye listened to the sound and felt as if he was being scratched by a cat. After the two of them finished their meal in Chongming Palace, Wei Qingye grabbed the man and stood by the imperial table to grind for him.

A voice came from outside the palace door, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess has sent someone to question you."

Wei Qingye naturally didn't expect that the Crown Princess would send someone here. He raised the corner of his eyelids slightly and put down the brush in his hand.

Chai Hui stood aside waiting, feeling really unsure. Why didn't the Crown Princess send anyone earlier or later, but at this very moment?

I've never seen the Crown Princess be so active on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month.

The most important thing is that Miss Nan is still in this palace. If she bumps into him, I'm afraid...

Wei Qingye looked at the completed flood protection plan for Jiangzhou City and sneered, "Tell her to get out of here right away. If it happens again, it won't be so simple."

The Chongming Hall in the Eastern Palace was brightly lit. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent people to pull the Minister of Works, the Vice Minister of Works and others out of bed at night to discuss the flood in Jiangzhou City with His Royal Highness.

After Wei Qingye gave all the instructions, he turned around and looked at the girl who was standing obediently beside him. He raised his hand and pulled her into his arms. He felt a lot more comfortable holding her warm and soft body in his arms.

"I have to discuss matters with the officials all night, you should go back to Chengqian Palace and have a good rest."

Nan Zhiyu nodded, "I will follow your instructions, Your Highness."

She knew that this night was definitely not a good time to flirt with His Highness. If His Highness rejected the Crown Princess because of her, the Crown Princess would probably hold a grudge against her.

Chai Hui personally escorted her back to Chengqian Palace with a lantern in hand. When he turned to leave, Nan Zhiyu stopped him and said, "Young Master Chai, please stay. I have something to say to you."

Chai Hui was a little surprised, but he still took back the step he had taken, "Miss Nan, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. I can't bear your call of little eunuch Chai!"

Nan Zhiyu smiled and said softly, "Your Highness has been discussing matters with the ministers all night. I'm afraid that by midnight, Your Highness and the ministers will be starving. Please ask Eunuch Xiao Chai to prepare some easy-to-digest midnight snacks and refreshments."

After hearing this, Chai Hui nodded repeatedly. On his way back, he couldn't help thinking, no wonder Miss Nan could please the Crown Prince, she is beautiful and thoughtful.

At three quarters past midnight, Chai Hui saw that the ministers who were discussing matters in the palace looked unhappy. When he served them some refreshing tea, he asked, "Your Highness, would you like to take a rest first and have someone bring you some midnight snack?"

Wei Qingye turned to look at him in confusion, "What midnight snack?"

Chai replied, "I ordered people to prepare some cold noodles with chicken shreds and green onion, with various kinds of wraps, and basil drink."

Wei Qingye waved his hand and said, "Yes."

The ministers below were extremely excited. It turned out that His Highness still valued their Ministry of Works more!

The other ministers who stayed up late at night to discuss plans with His Highness did not receive this treatment. The next day, they walked out of the palace like wolves that had been hungry for hundreds of years and went straight to other people's food shops.

By the time the night ended and dawn came, the matter of the flood in Jiangzhou City was finally settled, and all that was left was to send officials to the court the day after tomorrow.

After the ministers left, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked in a hoarse voice, "Now, what's the matter with those midnight snacks?"

Chai Hui smiled very flatteringly and explained, "It's Miss Nan. She was worried that Your Highness would be exhausted from working all night, so she asked me to prepare a delicious midnight snack and some refreshing tea."

Wei Qingye casually stroked the jade pendant around his waist, feeling somewhat comforted in his heart.

It seems that cats are not heartless.
