Chapter 39: No Choice (5)
Zhou Cheng naturally didn't know as much about Yin Yin's physical condition as Xue Han, so Xue Han had to explain it from the side.
"Cheng is too worrying and won't let me do anything. When we were walking in the garden today, he asked me if I was tired before I took a few steps. Do I look that weak?"
Xue Han and Wang Ye both knew that it was Zhou Cheng's way of showing his love for Yin Yin, but it seemed a bit excessive.
"The emperor probably thinks that the princess has just recovered from a serious illness and is bound to feel unwell, so he is worried."
“Hmm!”
Yin Yin had no choice but to pout, and she looked particularly cute like this. Zhou Cheng and the other three all thought so. Wang Ye never expected that Yin Yin would have such a playful side, like a little child, and could not help but chuckle.
"If the princess wants to go out for a walk, of course you can—"
"real?"
Hearing Xue Han's words, Yin Yin immediately showed a happy expression. Xue Han was also because Yin Yin's playful pouting look just now was very endearing, so in order to win Yin Yin's joy he had to try his best to satisfy her. However, Xue Han's words caused Zhou Cheng to worry.
"Of course, but we need to wait until the princess's body recovers to a certain degree before we can do that—"
"When will it be possible? I'm in good health. How much more do I need to recover?"
"The princess feels that she is in good condition at the moment, but that is only on the surface. Since she has just recovered from a serious illness, her body is still feeling very uncomfortable, just like she fainted in the garden. That is why, given her current condition, it is not suitable for her to go too far, otherwise it will increase her burden—"
Xue Han hoped that Yinyin could recover to her best condition so as not to increase the burden. Yinyin felt that she was fine and did not need to rest. It was obvious that Yinyin seemed to be determined to go out, so Wang Ye had to tell the truth, which made Yinyin give up with a feeling of loss and frustration. Xue Han and Wang Ye each said something that made Yinyin feel a little depressed, which made Zhou Cheng a little unhappy. Although he did not understand Yinyin's physical condition as well as Xue Han and Wang Ye and could not join the conversation of the two doctors, how could he ignore Yinyin's lost expression? However...
"Please don't worry, Princess. At the speed at which she is recovering now, I believe it will be fine in a few days—"
"Really? That's great—"
Before Zhou Cheng spoke, Xue Han added to Wang Ye's words, and Yin Yin showed joy again. She was playful, frustrated, and happy. Yin Yin's expression kept changing depending on the topic, which made Zhou Cheng and the other two speechless. If possible, the three of them had the urge to hold her in their arms. With such a variety of expression changes, should we say that she is frank or childish? It really makes people love and cherish her...
Zhou Cheng couldn't help but think that Yin Yin's expression was something he had never seen before, his smile, or her every move since she woke up. Was it because he had never noticed it before, or was it because he thought that this was another side of Yin Yin that came out after she lost her memory?
On the day Zhou Yan had surgery, Wang Ye and Xue Han first examined Yin Yin...
"If the princess's condition can last until tomorrow, she can go out—"
"You didn't lie to me?"
In order to leave the palace, Yin Yin had rested sufficiently in the past two days and took medicine on time, no matter how bitter the medicine was. Finally, she lived up to expectations and her physical condition has been very stable and she has recovered smoothly. Only then did Xue Han make such a decision.
"As long as the princess can take medicine on time and rest well, it will be a matter of time for her to recover. Although the princess is allowed to go out, please do not get carried away by excitement. Please keep a normal mind no matter what the circumstances are, don't work too hard, and just enjoy everything -"
"Well, I will definitely do it—"
Although Zhou Cheng, Xue Han and Wang Ye didn't quite believe Yin Yin's answer, they knew from Yin Yin's excited expression before she even left the palace that she would forget everything else and play however she wanted.
——This morning——
After the morning court session, Zhou Cheng arranged everything and prepared to leave the palace with Yin Yin, but...
"Can you please not take the carriage?"
Yinyin, who had just changed her clothes and was about to leave the palace, asked Zhou Cheng who came to greet her. "How can this be possible? There is a long distance from the palace to the [Prime Minister's Mansion]. How can you, when you have just recovered a little bit,—"
"I just don't want to sit. I want to walk back while observing the way back. It would be too boring to go back directly without seeing anything—"
Before Zhou Cheng could finish his words, Yin Yin spoke out her thoughts. To be frank, she just wanted to have some fun. Seeing Yin Yin's begging expression, Zhou Cheng immediately softened his heart...
"I can agree to it, but you have to take a carriage when you come back. I can't let you work too hard—"
"Uh-huh--"
"Also, you must listen to me along the way and cannot leave my side casually."
"I promise—"
Seeing Yin Yin answer so straightforwardly, Zhou Cheng sighed lightly. He really had no resistance to Yin Yin. The journey to the [Prime Minister's Mansion] was quite long. He hoped that nothing would happen on the way. Xue Han could not go with them because he had been promoted and was getting familiar with things. Wang Ye's whereabouts were not within Zhou Cheng's control. If by any chance Yin Yin had someone by her side, Zhou Cheng did not want to think about it any more.
——End of preface——
This is why Yin Yin appeared on the street , together with Zhou Cheng, without any guards. Their appearance alone was very eye-catching, but no one would have guessed that their identities were so noble. The same went for Zhao Ziheng. No one would have thought that the king of their own country would appear on the street of the market without a guard and rescue a young man, let alone think that the king of the neighboring country Zhao would also appear on the street of the market in the capital of Zhou Kingdom without a guard, right?
After rescuing the boy, Yin Yin and Zhou Cheng took him to a clinic for treatment...
"Well, the injury is not too serious, just a slight crack under the ear. At his age, I believe he will recover soon--"
"Very good--"
After hearing the doctor's comments after diagnosing the boy, Yin Yin relaxed. Seeing that the boy's ears turned red and bled, Yin Yin was really afraid that something might happen to the boy and he would become disabled. After hearing the doctor's words, she was finally relieved.
Zhou Cheng put his hand on Yin Yin's shoulder to comfort her. Although he was also worried about the boy, he was most worried about Yin Yin. You know, Yin Yin's condition was a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times more serious than the boy's. Maybe it was a bit exaggerated, but it was like this for him. He could have compassion for his people, but he felt even more pity for his beloved Yin Yin.
