She spoke while wiping her tears with a handkerchief, which was soaked through with her sorrow. Her eyes were filled with grievance and pleading, reflecting a sense of helplessness.
Upon hearing Consort Lu finish speaking, the Emperor furrowed his brow slightly and turned his gaze to the Six Princess. He slowly began, "Are you suggesting that Yiling's current state is due to Qingyu?"
His eyes deepened, resembling a bottomless lake, lost in thought with a hint of contemplation.
Xin Yao and Yun Lingchuan stood like two hedgehogs with raised quills, their gazes locked in mutual wariness, as if an electric current passed between them.
However, since it was a matter ordered by Your Highness, Yun Lingchuan suppressed his doubts and approached Xin Yao.
His long fingers rested on Xin Yao's wrist as he closed his eyes slightly, carefully feeling the pulse. His brow occasionally furrowed as if he encountered a problem, then relaxed as if ruling out certain possibilities.
After a moment, he released his hand and reported to Yun Qingyu, "Your Highness, Xin Yao's body seems to have no major issues; he just has some digestive problems that can be improved with gradual care. It appears he has been somewhat overexerted in the past; his complexion is still a bit pale, but he has been resting well lately and is currently not in serious trouble."
As he spoke, he glanced at Xin Yao, a complex expression flickering in his eyes.
Yun Qingyu frowned slightly, a hint of confusion crossing her face as if shrouded in a fog. She softly said to Xin Yao, "Please step outside for a moment."
Xin Yao pressed his lips together, trembling slightly as he replied, "Yes."
He walked out in silence, his steps heavy. His back appeared lonely yet stubborn, like an injured lone wolf.
Once Xin Yao closed the door behind him, Yun Qingyu looked at Yun Lingchuan with a serious expression filled with doubt. "Are you sure there are no other issues? You checked thoroughly?"
Yun Lingchuan nodded, his head bobbing with determination. "Your Highness, he is not poisoned. If what you say is true and he is not deliberately feigning these symptoms, then it is most likely that he has fallen victim to the Soul Capturing Technique. This spell is quite secretive and difficult to detect, like a hidden sting lurking in the darkness."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "I will write to King Yu; he may have insight into this situation. King Yu excels in divination and is quite knowledgeable about fate and destiny, so he should be able to discern the issues surrounding Xin Yao."
Yun Qingyu contemplated that since Xin Yao's condition was not critical, there was no need to rush. As long as Yun Lingchuan kept this matter in mind, she felt reassured and nodded slightly in agreement.
Then, Yun Qingyu addressed Yun Lingchuan again. "For now, stay at the Princess Manor. Just tell others that I have taken on a new Attendant. Soon, someone will summon me to the palace; you should meet the other Attendants in the back courtyard and see if you recognize anyone. Starting tonight, help take care of Xin Yao's health."
Her eyes reflected a sense of relief after making arrangements.
A flicker of barely noticeable joy crossed Yun Lingchuan's eyes as a glimmer shone briefly within them. He softly repeated, "Attendant?"
Yun Qingyu glanced at him with a calm expression, her tone carrying a hint of explanation. "This princess used to be infatuated with handsome men, so claiming you are an Attendant won't raise any suspicions."
Yun Lingchuan responded with an amused "Oh," a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth as he teased, "Actually, it wouldn't matter even if the princess had a preference."
For some reason, an image of Xin Yao's adorably innocent face floated into Yun Qingyu's mind, especially his pitiful shivering form at night. A strange feeling stirred within her heart, causing her to fall silent as her gaze drifted off, lost in memories.
