Zhou Yanze's eyes were filled with worry. He turned around and said coldly to the court doctor, "Are you sure Yanyan just caught a cold? She's not poisoned?"

The court doctor replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, the princess shows no signs of poisoning, so you can rest assured!"

Zhou Yanze's heart, which had been tightened, finally relaxed. He said tiredly, "Prescribe medicine for the princess and make her better." He turned to look at Yuzhu and said, "Take good care of the princess. When she enters the main courtyard, all the food used by the lady must be carefully checked before she can enter."

Yuzhu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I will do my best to prevent any poisonous substances from harming the princess."

The court doctor took the paper and pen handed to him by Yuzhen, wrote down the prescription, and handed it to Yuzhen. He took out the medicine box and prepared a prescription. "First, make the medicine for the princess. I don't have enough medicine. I'll prepare the rest when I go back."

Yuzhen took the medicine and walked out of the house.

The court doctor also took his leave. "Your Highness, I will go to the pharmacy and prepare the remaining medicine for the princess and bring it to her."

Zhou Yanze restrained his expression, with a kind of dignity, and said lightly, "Okay, you can leave!" After watching the court doctor leave, he came to the bedside, pulled open the bed curtain, and said affectionately, "Yanyan, don't worry, the court doctor said it was just a cold, and it will be better soon."

Liu Yanyan leaned on the pillow and said, "I just said I'm fine! You, Yanze, have been worrying for nothing. By the way, how is the investigation going into the poisoning of the maids in the backyard?"

Zhou Yanze looked at Yanyan and said, "Don't worry, Yanyan. Butler Zhou is already investigating and will definitely give you an explanation."

"Even if Concubine Li poisoned her, will she be punished?"

Zhou Yanze replied, "Yanyan is the most important. Even if it was her, I would deal with her. It couldn't be her. Her family all died on the battlefield, sacrificing their lives for the country. Although she is savage and willful, she would not do anything like poisoning."

Liu Yanyan's heart suddenly ached, and she tried her best to suppress the pain in her heart, and said, "Your Majesty, you really understand Sister Li."

Zhou Yanze raised his lips slightly and said with a smile, "We have known each other for a long time, and I have always treated her as my sister, Yanyan, she would not do anything to poison me."

Liu Yanyan felt uncomfortable and a little sour, but she still said, "I also think Sister Li would not do such a thing as poisoning, but look, who did it? Concubine Li from the side courtyard!"

Zhou Yanze shook his head. "Concubine Li is timid and cowardly. It can't be her. I think there are termites in the mansion, and outsiders have been able to get in."

Liu Yanyan looked at his trust in the two concubines and did not say anything to refute. "The palace does need to investigate. This sterilizing drug is not something that anyone can buy."

Zhou Yanze looked into Yanyan's dark and calm eyes and said, "Yanyan, leave everything to me. I will take care of it."

Liu Yanyan suppressed the bitterness in her heart and nodded slightly.

Yuzhen then came into the room carrying a bowl of boiled medicine. "Princess, the medicine is ready. Do you want to drink it now or later?"

Liu Yanyan felt dizzy and didn't want to talk.

Yuzhu took the blue and white porcelain bowl, her hands were red from the heat, she put the bowl down and scolded, "Yuzhen, this medicine is so hot, how can the princess drink it? The princess needs candied fruit to go with the medicine!"

Yuzhen knelt down in fear and said, "Princess, please forgive me. I will go get it now."

Liu Yanyan looked at Yuzhen with a bit of disappointment, "Let the medicine cool down before I drink it. Go to the kitchen and get the candied fruit I like."

Seeing that the princess did not blame her, Yuzhen hurried out of the house.

Zhou Yanze took the medicine bowl from Yuzhu's hand and gently stirred the medicine in the bowl. "Yanyan, the medicine will be more effective if you drink it hot. I'll feed it to you." After saying that, he scooped up a spoonful of medicine and put it to Yanyan's mouth.

Liu Yanyan looked at the steaming medicine, then raised her eyes to see the tenderness in his eyes. After making sure that he didn't mean it, she said, "Yan Ze, just let me drink it for a while."

Zhou Yanze's eyes were full of worry, "Yanyan, drink it quickly, otherwise it will get cold and be very bitter."

Liu Yanyan had no choice but to blow gently on the medicine on the spoon. When it was no longer so hot, she drank it in one gulp. After drinking it, she frowned at the bitter taste.

Yuzhu took a candied fruit and put it in her mouth, and she felt better. "Yan Ze, I'll drink it myself." After saying that, she was about to take the bowl of medicine.

Zhou Yanze looked at Yanyan and finally reacted, his ears reddened. "Yanyan, trust me once, I will not burn you this time." After saying that, he scooped up the medicine and blew gently, tested the temperature with his lips, and then fed it to Yanyan's mouth.

Liu Yanyan looked at the tenderness and affection in the prince's eyes, her eyes dodged, not daring to face his tenderness directly. She opened her mouth and drank the slightly warm medicine.

When Zhou Yanze saw Yanyan drink the medicine he gave her, the joy in his eyes was about to overflow. He raised his hand and wiped the medicine juice from the corner of Yanyan's mouth with a handkerchief. "Yanyan, I will take good care of you."

Liu Yanyan looked at Yan Ze and said, "Yan Ze, these jade beads are enough. You are not good at this. Your hands are for other important things."

Zhou Yanze looked at Yanyan, his eyes full of tenderness, "Yanyan, your business is my most important business, everything else is not worth mentioning."

Liu Yanyan blushed when she heard this, "Yan Ze, don't do this, this is not good."

Zhou Yanze chuckled, "Why not? You are the most important thing. Take the medicine first."

Liu Yanyan endured the bitterness and tried to say several times that she could drink it in one gulp. But seeing the tenderness in Yan Ze's eyes, she couldn't open her mouth. It was not until she finished the bowl of medicine and ate the candied fruit handed by Yuzhu that the bitterness in her mouth dissipated.

Zhou Yanze looked at Yanyan's frowning brows and said distressedly, "Yanyan, don't be sad. We will have something sweet for breakfast later, so it won't be bitter. You can't not take this medicine."

Liu Yanyan looked at him helplessly. She couldn't say the words that were on her lips for several times. She could only say lightly, "Yan Ze, I didn't mean to not take the medicine, it's just that the medicine is too bitter."

Zhou Yanze looked at Yanyan's weak appearance, covered her with a blanket and said, "Yanyan, you should have a good rest. I will definitely catch the person who dared to poison the mansion and give you an explanation."

Liu Yanyan looked at Zhou Yanze's gentle appearance and found it hard to connect him with the cold-blooded and ruthless person rumored to be. She felt very dazed.

Zhou Yanze looked at Yuzhu who was glowing brightly beside him and said, "Yuzhu, go and bring breakfast to the princess. Yanyan didn't eat all morning. How can her body bear it?"

Yuzhu looked at how gentle and caring the prince was to the princess, then she bowed respectfully and left. “Prince, I will go right away.”

Liu Yanyan watched Yuzhu being sent away, and looked at the childish Yan Ze, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Yan Ze, I'm thirsty."

Zhou Yanze looked at the abnormal blush on Yanyan's face, nodded gently, took the teapot and teacup directly to the table beside the bed, and poured a full cup of warm water for Yanyan. "Yanyan, drink it quickly! Drink more water, and you will get better soon."

Liu Yanyan adjusted her posture, leaned back, took the water, and drank it all in one gulp. "Your Majesty, I'm done."

Zhou Yanze said with a hint of sadness, "Yanyan, you can call me Yanze or Master, but calling me Prince sounds so strange!"
