"Some time ago, my aunt introduced a female doctor who specializes in treating my body. Her name is Sun Lingwei. Do you know her?" I asked directly.

"She is my niece. I know she came to the mansion. But why did she make the king..." He was about to say princess, but I glared at him and he changed his words, "Does she make you unhappy?"

"That's not the case. Her medical skills are indeed good. Your family should be a medical family, right? The kind that has been practicing medicine since your ancestors?"

"That's about right." Doctor Sun was probably afraid that I would ask more questions, so he stopped the topic. "Do you want to know about my past? I've been away from home for many years, so there's nothing much to say. If you're really curious, you can ask the prince. He knows a lot about me."

I took a deep breath and said, "Please don't mention him. I have PTSD when it comes to the words 'Prince' and 'Princess Situ Jue'. Don't mention it in front of me, or I'll go crazy in front of you!"

"Pi Ti...what?" Doctor Sun was curious about the words I used and tried hard to imitate me.

I was amused by him. "It's the abbreviation of post-traumatic stress disorder. There is no such term in your era. I guess you haven't studied this field yet. Well, you won't understand even if I tell you. Anyway, don't mention it to me. Thank you!"

"Is it about that world I don't know about that you mentioned again?" He regained his composure and looked at me gently.

If this man were alive in modern times, he would be a good psychological counselor instead of a Chinese medicine practitioner. After just a few words with him, I felt much better, but suddenly I realized that he used the word "again" in his words.

I asked in confusion, "Again? Did I tell you something before?"

He squinted his eyes, "The last time, you were drunk and held me tightly, saying some incomprehensible things. I thought it was interesting at the time, so I wrote some of it down. Later, I realized that maybe the world you were talking about really exists, but we don't know about it..."

I was so shocked that I jumped up from my chair in an instant. I couldn't help but put my hands on his shoulders. I was so excited that I didn't even know what to say to him.

There seemed to be some noise outside. I turned around and saw the figure on the screen, who changed his movements as I looked at him.

Oh my god, Situ Jue is eavesdropping over there.

I lowered my voice and asked Doctor Sun, "What you told me is what I told you. Does he know?" I pointed at the people outside.

Doctor Sun nodded and lowered his voice in cooperation, "It was at Zhuquan Courtyard at that time. The prince... he was also there."

Well, luckily I was drunk and have no memory of what happened, otherwise it would have been a complete social demise.

Who knows what I said? No, I don’t want to know. Please forget this part.

After I sat back down, I whispered to him again, "Can we talk alone sometime? Just the two of us?"

It's like a one-on-one chat in a psychological clinic.

Perhaps my eyes were too expectant, Doctor Sun thought about this question seriously for a while, and then answered softly, "In a few days, I will go to Xishan to look for some medicinal herbs. Chongguang Temple halfway up Xishan is said to be very popular."

Let's stop talking. That is to say, as long as I go to Chongguang Temple on the day he goes out, I can get the opportunity to chat with him alone without being disturbed.

I completely got it. I made an OK gesture to him and nodded.

Then I asked him some more questions about restless sleep, and returning to his expertise, he felt my pulse and, knowing that I didn't like taking medicine, recommended me a set of acupoint massage techniques, which I could use to improve my condition by practicing them a few times before going to bed.

In the end, I walked out with Dr. Sun.

Situ Jue had been waiting outside, and when he saw us coming out one after another, the impatience and unhappiness on his face were obvious.

Doctor Sun bowed as usual and prepared to leave. I, feeling relieved, waved to Situ Jue and said, "I'm sorry to have disturbed you with my nightmare. Go back to sleep now. I'm fine."

Although my attitude was still perfunctory, Situ Jue's face became better after hearing this, and he immediately stood up and came over, "Are you really okay? Having a nightmare? Then I'll accompany you."

I stepped back and distanced myself from him. "Your Highness, please go and rest first. I have a bad sleeping posture and I am prone to nightmares. I cannot affect your sleep, otherwise your injury will heal even slower."

"So you still care about me so much?"

I lowered my head and didn't look at his expression, but from the sarcastic tone of his words, it was clear that his face was hurt again.

But I was too lazy to indulge him, so I continued, "Please don't forget the three-year agreement, Your Majesty. During this period, I will try my best to continue to cooperate with you in front of others, but there is no need for us to pretend to be serious in private."

After saying that, he went straight to take out the quilt prepared for me, put it on the bed outside, tidied up and prepared to rest.

Situ Jue was silent for a long time, and finally went back to the inner room and turned off the lights.

After it got dark around me, I quickly fell asleep again.

This time I had no dreams until dawn, when I was woken up by the sound of footsteps coming and going.

I felt like I hadn’t slept enough and was a little grumpy, so I closed my eyes and covered my head with the quilt, trying to endure the noise and continue sleeping for a while.

"Princess! Princess, it's time to wake up..." Du Juan's helpless and hurried voice repeated like an alarm clock at the head of the bed.

I had no choice but to say goodbye to my beloved quilt and sat up from the bed, "Wake up."

"Princess, hurry up and pack up, the Consort will be here soon."

"Ah? Toffee is coming over here?" I didn't understand what was going on.

Du Juan continued, "The prince is not feeling well right now, and Doctor Sun has been busy all morning... He called you so many times, but it seemed like you didn't hear me..." As she spoke, she looked at me with some grievance and dissatisfaction.

I was stunned for a moment. As the second male lead in a romance story, Situ Jue must be good in everything, but there is only one thing that is not as good as the male lead, that is his health problem. Although the book says that he has such a sick setting, I have been here for so long, and except for the time when I saw him pretending to be sick, I have never seen anything particularly serious.

Could it be that I am about to meet him? Is he about to die?

If he dies, can I ask the Concubine for a divorce letter or a divorce letter or something like that?

Then, I dressed neatly and packed up quickly, and finally rushed to Situ Jue's bedside before the concubine came. This attitude still needs to be demonstrated.

It is said that early in the morning, the maid who came into the room to wake up her master found something wrong. When Doctor Sun came, he found out that Situ Jue had a high fever and had fainted. This situation was indeed quite dangerous, so he used acupuncture to stabilize the patient and waited until Situ Jue's condition eased a little before reporting it to the concubine.

As for me, the maid called me several times before, but I was sleeping too deeply and didn't want to move. Later, when I was woken up, I stayed in bed for a while, and finally caught up with the same progress as the concubine.

Situ Jueren was awake, but very weak. He lay there with his eyes closed. His fever had just subsided and he didn't even want to talk.

I whispered to Doctor Sun beside me, "What is his condition now? Will he..." I made a gesture of eternal sleep, and I didn't know if Doctor Sun could understand it.

Doctor Sun hesitated, as if he was trying to organize his words. Before he could answer, the man on the bed spoke first, "Don't worry, the king is not going to die yet."
