Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Cui Qiyan looked at his beloved greedily as she approached him and explained to her, "I don't want you to take risks for me, and I don't want the incident with Daniu to happen again in front of you."

"But have you ever thought that if you were infected with the plague and died because you helped me block the blood, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life when I found out about it later." Dong Jiafu did not accept his arrangement.

"It has nothing to do with that incident," Cui Qiyan said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "but it would be nice to think that I could make you remember me for the rest of your life in this way."

When Dong Jiafu was still three steps away from him, Cui Qiyan stretched out his hand and said, "Just stay there, don't go any further."

Dong Jiafu ignored him and kept walking. "I've been to all the tents where the patients are staying in the camp. Why would I be afraid of you? How can I feel your pulse from such a distance?"

As she was speaking, Dong Jiafu had already arrived in front of Cui Qiyan.

Cui Qiyan had never seen her like this before, and was stunned for a moment. Her slightly cold fingertips were already on his pulse.

His pulse felt a little strange, and Dong Jiafu frowned unconsciously.

"Is it very troublesome?" A smile appeared on Cui Qi Yan's pale face, as if he didn't care much about his illness.

Dong Jiafu let go of her hand after a while. "Your pulse is similar to those of the victims infected with the plague, but also different."

"Doctor Fan told you the same thing."

"Is the one here Doctor Fan?"

Cui Qiyan nodded and said to Ji Bai, "Please ask Doctor Fan to come over."

Knowing that Doctor Fan was here, Dong Jiafu felt relieved and asked about the doubts in her heart.

"You didn't come to me and Master because you didn't want me to know. So why didn't you ask Chen Yuanshi to come and treat you?"

"The plague has just been brought under control, and His Majesty is very happy. We cannot cause panic in the capital because of me. Our return to the capital was a decision made by Envoy Chen after comprehensive consideration, and I don't want to cause him any trouble."

Dong Jiafu felt a little sad after hearing this. "You have considered everyone, but not yourself. Are you really not afraid of death?"

"I was afraid that if I died I would never see you again, so I asked Doctor Fan to come."

Just as he finished speaking, Doctor Fan came in from outside. When he saw Cui Qiyan, he exclaimed, "Why are you out of bed, sir? Go to bed and rest."

"Doctor Fan, don't be nervous. I can stand for a while. I can't stay in bed all the time."

"Your Excellency's illness cannot be compromised. You'd better be more careful at this critical moment." Doctor Fan advised earnestly.

Dong Jiafu couldn't help but say, "You should just listen to Doctor Fan. Don't you see that your face is so white that you can paint on it? And you're still being stubborn."

Cui Qiyan smiled, "I do seem a little tired, so I'll have to ask the female doctor to help me."

When did this person become so fickle? Just now he didn't let her get close, but now he wants her to help him.

Dong Jiafu glanced at him and said, "Forget it, since he is sick."

When she helped him walk to the bed, she realized that he was really weak. She could feel that he was trying his best to control his body to keep steady and not put his weight on her.

It wasn't visible when he was standing still just now.

After helping him sit on the bed, Dong Jiafu stood up and turned around to ask, "Doctor Fan, can I talk to you about the prince's condition?"

"It's great that Miss Dong is here. I was looking for someone to talk to." Doctor Fan glanced at Cui Qiyan on the bed and said, "Why don't we go outside and talk."

"Okay." Dong Jiafu followed Doctor Fan out of the house.

Ji Bai watched the two of them leave, went over to take off Cui Qiyan's shoes, and helped him lean against the bed.

"Why do you have to be so stubborn, my prince? Miss Dong can see it all."

"Yes, she is a female doctor praised by even Director Chen. Nothing can be hidden from her." Cui Qiyan ordered, "Clean up a room for her."

"Your Highness wants Miss Dong to stay in the other courtyard?"

"She won't leave. Since she wants to stay, let her live comfortably. Remember to make the room spacious and bright."

"I've made a note of it."

Outside the door, Dong Jiafu asked, "Doctor Fan, you have been practicing medicine for many years, do you know what disease the prince has?"

Doctor Fan frowned, "To be honest, I am not sure. Some of the symptoms of Lord Cui's illness are very similar to those of the plague, such as high fever. But he did not get better after taking the medicine for the plague. Fortunately, he did not get worse."

"He knows some Kung Fu and is in his prime, so his body shouldn't be weaker than those victims infected with the plague. Could it be that we have preconceived ideas and got the wrong idea? Maybe he is not infected with the plague." Dong Jiafu pondered.

"I have the same suspicion, but I can't see any other symptoms from Lord Cui's pulse." Doctor Fan was a little frustrated. "Alas, I am still not good enough."

"Don't say that. There are many diseases in the world that we still can't understand. Or maybe we are overthinking the problem. You also said that the prince's condition has not continued to worsen, which is a good sign. There is still hope."

Doctor Fan listened to Dong Jiafu's words and thought for a while. "Your words reminded me. I need to go back and think about it..."

Doctor Fan fell into his own thoughts and walked away muttering to himself.

Dong Jiafu didn't bother him and turned back to her room.

"Did the conversation with Doctor Fan go well?" Cui Qi Yan said, looking at the expression on her face.

"Why are you talking about others as if they were your own? Aren't you worried about your own illness?"

Dong Jiafu found it incredible that he still had the mind to joke.

"If even you and Doctor Fan are helpless, there is no point for me to worry."

Dong Jiafu walked up to him and asked, "How do you feel now?"

"Very happy." Cui Qi Yan looked at her beautiful almond eyes exposed.

"Happy?" Dong Jiafu frowned. "Are you sick and your brain damaged?"

Cui Qiyan smiled softly, "That's possible. I also feel that I am quite contradictory. I didn't want to let you know, but you really came, and I am very happy. You are willing to come here at this time, which means that you care about me in your heart."

Dong Jiafu was stunned and looked away uncomfortably.

"You're overthinking. I came here because Yaying asked me for help, and I couldn't refuse her. And I wanted to personally confirm whether you were infected with the plague because of blocking the blow for me. It has nothing to do with anything else."

"The words you asked Ji Bai to bring to me, if I don't meet you, I will regret it in the future."

"I was..." She didn't know how to correct the words she said in a hurry. "That's not what I meant."

"If this is the last time of my life, I will regret not seeing you. With you by my side, I have no regrets."

Dong Jiafu raised her eyes and looked at him. "What nonsense are you talking about? You probably haven't contracted the plague. You'll be fine."

"If I die, will you be sad and regretful?" Cui Qi Yan asked himself.

Dong Jiafu was silent for a moment. "I asked you how you felt and where you felt uncomfortable, but you didn't answer me yet."

Cui Qiyan turned his head back and sank into the soft pillow behind him. "I have a headache, my throat is tight, my whole body is sore and weak, and I feel uncomfortable because someone is avoiding me."

Dong Jiafu looked at his hand pointing at his heart, and after a while, she opened her red lips and said, "I will."
