The next day, the white light was dazzling. Xie Zhichan rubbed his eyes and prepared to get up. In a daze, he only felt the warmth under his palms, and the texture felt quite elastic.

In her memory, among all the surgeries she had performed, this was the skin that felt the best to her, except when she performed surgery on Pei Yi.

Wait - Pei Yi -

The name flashed through her mind, and she opened her eyes immediately. She saw that she was indeed half lying on Pei Yi's chest. She must have treated him as a big human pillow last night.

The embarrassing thing is that her hand actually reached into the other person's collar, placed on the other person's chest muscle, and even touched it with satisfaction -

Could another meteorite fall on the land of Prince Yan's Mansion and send her away again? !

Stay calm! Maybe Pei Yi hasn't woken up yet? She told herself in her heart, then she could just pretend nothing happened and quietly move back, right?

Hey, it's no big deal! It was just a false alarm!

She put her facial expression in order and then looked up to confirm her lucky guess. She saw Pei Yi's dark eyes, as deep as a pool, staring at her, as if he had been staring at her for a long time...

Stay calm again - as long as she is not embarrassed, then it is others who are embarrassed, right?

She blinked and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying. She touched Pei Yi's chest twice with angrily and said with a smile: "Oh, you've practiced well. It feels good—"

Then, pretending nothing had happened, she pulled her hand out of Pei Yi's collar and moved her legs away from Pei Yi's waist. Then, she climbed down from the bed calmly, picked up the clean clothes on the bedside table and ran behind the screen.

The footsteps were so fast that one could almost see double...

As soon as Xie Zhichan got behind the screen, he sat on a round stool, patted his chest, and thought to himself, I'm so scared! Fortunately, he can't use force now!

Outside the screen, Pei Yi leaned against the bed, raised his eyebrows and smiled softly, glancing at the figure hiding behind the screen, thinking, so she can be shy! Running so fast——

He could hear her chaotic breathing through the screen...

After a long while, no one came out. Pei Yi shouted to the figure behind the screen, "Crown Princess, are you not going to help your husband get dressed? I am a person who cannot take care of myself now."

Xie Zhichan had already put on her clothes, but she thought that if she delayed a little longer, the embarrassment would disappear. But when she heard Pei Yi's malicious tone, she knew that he had seen through her disguise, so she gave up and thought: Anyway, she is not the one being taken advantage of!

Then he walked out from behind the screen and gave Pei Yi a cold look. It was obvious that only his lower body was disabled, not his hands, and he had taken off the wedding dress himself last night.

Today's clean clothes were placed on the small table beside the bed, and he could reach them.

She ignored Pei Yi and sat at the table, drinking a sip of cold tea to cool her hot face.

Suddenly, Pei Yi behind him said, "During the treatment, the doctor is responsible for taking care of the patient's daily life and emotions. It is written in the contract. If the princess has forgotten, you might as well take it out and take a look."

Xie Zhichan's scalp tightened when she heard this. Is this also in the contract? She turned around and looked at Pei Yi's fox-like smile. Her face darkened. Was he setting a trap for her again?

Then she took out the contract hidden in her chest, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, trying hard to recognize several lines of cursive writing based on the shape of the characters. As expected, there were several more obligations belonging to her.

I can only blame myself for being careless last night. I was so immersed in appreciating the majestic momentum of Pei Yi's calligraphy that I didn't read carefully what he wrote.

She is not very familiar with the ancient writing style, let alone the running and cursive ancient calligraphy!

She had an urge to tear up the contract, but then she thought that when facing an enemy, she should not be impatient. She took two deep breaths and said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that I will tear up the contract and stop treating you?"

Pei Yi shook his head calmly and said, "You won't do that. It's for the people of Northern Frontier, isn't it?"

Xie Zhichan couldn't see Pei Yi's hand, which was hidden under the quilt and tightly grasping the bed sheet. She only felt her sea of ​​​​qi surging. This guy actually saw through her thoughts and used this to control her!

Pei Yi was relieved when he saw Xie Zhichan didn't say anything. He guessed right. The little fox was a good fox who cared about the people. Her words "for the people of Northern Frontier" were not just talk.

Seeing her pair of eyes that were as bright as a deer's but had no lethal power, my heart skipped a beat and I had a perverted thought of bullying her so that she would show this expression.

Pei Yi smiled and said, "A contract naturally requires both parties to reach an agreement. You can't just stipulate my obligations without giving me any rights, right?"

Xie Zhichan just wanted to put the contract directly on Pei Yi's dazzling smiling face.

She took out her anger on the contract. The treasure from last night seemed to have become useless. She folded it again and again and stuffed it casually into the purse around her waist.

She said angrily, "It's not like you can't move your hands, can't you put it on yourself?"

Pei Yi suddenly took out a silver note from somewhere, handed it to Xie Zhichan and said, "Add another 1,000 taels to the consultation fee."

Xie Zhichan was dazzled by the one thousand taels on the silver note. She had been working as a patient in the Qiucheng Medical Clinic for ten days and only earned a few dozen taels of silver, which was barely enough for her and Xiao Liu'er to return to Beijing.

The patient in front of me is a sucker, it would be a waste not to kill him.

Xie Zhichan took the banknote and put it in his pocket.

Forget it. After all, she is a civilized person who firmly upholds the spirit of contract. Just consider this one thousand taels as Pei Yi’s nursing fee.

She took the outer gown from the small table, stood on the edge of the bed and put Pei Yi's gloves into her sleeves, then sat on the edge of the bed and buttoned his chest.

The two of them were suddenly so close that they could hear each other's breathing.

Pei Yi couldn't help but touch his ears. He always felt that his ears were a little hot. Looking at Xie Zhichan's fair and slender neck, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Crown Prince's Consort."

After Xie Zhichan buttoned his buttons, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at Pei Yi when he heard him say that he was taking advantage of the situation.

He then took out the jade belt and passed it under his waist. Because Pei Yi's lower body was weak, Xie Zhichan could only hold his waist and lift him up slightly. The touch of his firm skin reminded Xie Zhichan of the embarrassment in the morning, and his ears couldn't help but feel hot.

Pei Yi could feel the touch of the skin on his waist, and suddenly a tingling sensation rushed to his head, but his lower body had no feeling at all. He was even somewhat grateful for his current situation, otherwise wouldn't he have to perform a show of being a hooligan on the spot?

After putting on his clothes, Xie Zhichan helped Pei Yi move to the wheelchair. Seeing that his lips were chapped, he asked him, "Would you like a cup of tea? Even though it's cold tea from last night, it will quench your thirst."

Pei Yi thought of the trouble of going to the toilet and shook his head. Xie Zhichan just assumed that he was not thirsty and let him go.

At this time, Xie Zhichan opened the door and asked Xiao Liuer and Mai Sui to bring in hot water for washing.

Pei Yi's room was originally served by a personal servant, but now that Xie Zhichan had moved in, it was not convenient to allow the servant to enter the house, so he asked Xie Zhichan's two maids who came with his dowry to take charge of serving in the room.

After they washed up, it was already noon, and they slowly walked towards the main hall of the courtyard.

Today is a special day. For the first time, all the people from Prince Yan's Mansion have come in such a complete gathering. Not only the concubines, brothers and sisters from Prince Yan's Mansion have come, but also the uncles and cousins ​​from the two separate houses have all arrived.

Prince Pei Yuan of Yan and his wife Lin sat in the main hall.

Pei Yuan had not planned to drink his wife's tea today. After all, it was a question whether Pei Yi could wake up. However, he did not expect that when the sun was high in the sky, the servant suddenly came to the study to report that the prince had woken up in the morning and wanted to bring the prince's wife to serve tea to the elders.

Pei Yuan was very excited, and then he sent people to notify the various courts and the people from the other two prefectures to come over.

Seeing Pei Yi sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed into the main hall by the Crown Prince's wife, the morning sunlight made the two of them look like silhouettes, and his faces could not be seen clearly. He still felt like he was in a dream.

After the two men entered the room, Xie Zhichan stood side by side with Pei Yi's wheelchair. After seeing their faces clearly, Pei Yuan was sure that this was not a dream.

He thought that Yunniang must have heard his prayers and sent Yier back to the human world.

Lin's eyes fell on Xie Zhichan, a cold look flashed across his eyes, and then he returned to his graceful demeanor.

Pei Yi bowed and said, "I wish my father and mother good health."

Pei Yuan's eyes were filled with tears, and he said in a trembling voice: "Okay, okay, I'll be at peace if you can wake up."

Lin also said: "Since you just woke up, you should take care of yourself. Hurry up and serve tea, and then let the Crown Prince's Consort push you back to your room to rest."

Pei Yi lowered his eyebrows and replied calmly, "Yes."
