Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 512 - You Owe Me This Help!

Fei Jing told the servants to take Nianzu inside the Residence. "Lady Chuntao, let\'s go in," asserted Fei Jing, and they two walked in. The servants glanced at them and wondered why Fei Jing brought a low class inside the Residence. The Young Master never did this, and it was so strange of him.

"Young Master, you brought a low class in the house! Is everything alright?" Mao Shi asked, who was the personal assistant to Fei Jing.

Chuntao heard that when Fei Jing scolded Mao Shi. "Go and bring Physician Du Meng," Fei Jing ordered him. Mao Shi bowed and walked away to bring the physician.

"Do not mind him, Lady Chuntao. Please this way," Fei Jing showed her the way to the chamber where Nianzu was taken to.

Chuntao sat on the stool beside the bed on which Nianzu was lying. She put her hand on his forehead and got worried as Nianzu\'s body temperature had risen.

"Your husband was sweating during the exam. I think he is not supposed to be in harsh environments," Fei Jing commented.

\'It is all because of me that Nianzu has to undergo all this,\' Chuntao thought.

Du Meng arrived at the chamber and greeted Fei Jing, who told him to examine Nianzu. Chuntao stood up from the stool and let Physician Du sit on it.

Du Meng first removed the overcoat that Nianzu had put for better circulation of air around Nianzu\'s body. Du Meng examined him, and while doing, so he saw Nianzu\'s hands were bruised.

"Did he fall somewhere?" Du Meng asked.

"Yes. After leaving the examination ground, he stumbled on some pebbles and fell," Fei Jing lied to Physician Du, who hummed and told him to bring lukewarm water in the bowl.

"Because of the heat, he fell sick, and his body temperature has risen. Give him enough liquids at regular intervals. To reduce the temperature, I am giving this pill which he can take now," Du Meng told Chuntao. He handed two pills to Chuntao. "Second one, you can give in the night," stated Du Meng.

Chuntao carefully listened to the advice of the Physician. A servant brought a water vessel and put it on the bedside table. Du Meng wiped the wounds on Nianzu\'s palms and applied a paste on the bruises.

"He will be awake in a while," Du Meng stated as he stood up from the stool. Fei Jing thanked Du Meng, who left the chamber.

Chuntao bowed deeply and thanked Fei Jing for doing so much for them. "Lady Chuntao, you are again embarrassing me. Please do not do this," Fei Jing requested and told Mao Shi to bring a water glass.

Chuntao stood straight as Fei Jing told her to give the medicine to Nianzu.

"You can leave with your husband once he is awake," Fei Jing told Chuntao, who hummed. She sat on the stool and looked at the pills in her hand. Mao Shi handed her the water glass and came near Fei Jing.

"Young Master, what are you trying to do?" Mao Shi whispered in Fei Jing\'s ear.

"You shall leave," Fei Jing did not reply to Mao Shi. He did not argue with his master and left the chamber, closing the door behind him. Fei Jing sat on the chaise that was placed at one side of the chamber. Taking the fan out from his sash, he slowly fanned himself.

\'Nianzu has such a weak body! He cannot be a commoner. The way he speaks isn\'t either of a Commoner. The knowledge he has can never be of a Commoner. The way he holds the brush and writes the words clearly shows that he was trained by some great scholars. His name resembles the banished Fourth Prince, whose whereabouts no one knows. Why is a Prince undergoing so many problems when he has inherited such a great fortune?\' Fei Jing contemplated.

He then looked at Chuntao, who was wiping the lips of Nianzu. "Lady Chuntao, may I know how you two met?" Fei Jing\'s sudden question intimidated her. She tilted her head to look at him.

"I tried to know from Nianzu but he got shy every time. Forgive me, if it seems rude to you," Fei Jing humbly apologized.

"We met in my village. He saved me from a bad person," Chuntao replied with a smile on her lips. "Gradually, we started to fall in love," she replied.

"In these times having a love marriage is difficult. Lady Chuntao\'s family agreed to love marriage... that\'s strange!" Fei Jing remarked.

Chuntao did not say anything and also Fei Jing did not ask any more questions.

\'Father has told me that the Fourth Prince was not ready to marry the Princess of Huan Province. It seems he fell in love with a commoner. Interesting! A Prince left his everything just to be with a commoner! The other day, his wife was being punished and out of nowhere, General Xiao arrived. For a mere commoner, a General will never treat an upper-classman brutally,\' Fei Jing thought.

After two hours, Nianzu gained consciousness. His body temperature had fallen. He gradually opened his eyes and found himself in a strange room. "Nianzu, you are awake!" Chuntao delightedly said as she caressed his head.

Nianzu tilted his head. "Where are we?" He asked in a low voice.

"You are in the Fei Residence," Fei Jing replied as he stood behind Chuntao.

"Young Master Fei helped us. You fell sick. The young master brought you here and checked you with their personal doctor," Chuntao said with a smile. Nianzu did not like it, but he wondered how Fei Jin found his house.

He sat up on the bed and lowered his head. "Thank you, Young Master." Nianzu sincerely thanked him.

"You are making me feel low," Fei Jing stated. "Take a good rest. The lunch is almost ready," Fei Jing proclaimed.

"Lunch?" Chuntao recalled she had let the rice cook on the stove. "Nianzu, the fire is lit on the stove. I need to go home," Chuntao immediately stood up from the stool. Nianzu confusedly looked at her.

"Young Master, please take care of my husband. I have to go home. I will come back soon," Chuntao stated.

"Of course, Lady Chuntao. Nianzu is my friend, as I told you earlier. Let me send you in the carriage," Fei Jing stated.

"I am leaving as well," Nianzu threw the blanket away when Fei Jing stopped him.

"The Physician will examine you once again. You cannot leave," Fei Jing affirmed.

"Nianzu, I will come back soon," Chuntao told Nianzu and walked out of the room. Fei Jing also went after her and instructed Mao Shi not to let Nianzu come out.

After Fei Jing sent off Chuntao in the litter to her home, he returned to his chamber where Nianzu was resting. He heard the shouts of Nianzu. Mao Shi opened the door as Fei Jing gestured to him.

Nianzu glared at him and stepped out of the room when Fei Jing grabbed his arm and pushed him back inside the room.

"Leave my arm!" Nianzu angrily said.

"I cannot. Your wife wants you to rest," Fei Jing affirmed and smirked. "Now, you owe me this help.. Your condition could have worsened if I had not helped you," Fei Jing whispered in his ear.
