AFDPIRAB Chapter32

Yun Jiangli is a serious person. Once he says he wants to learn something, he studies it very seriously.

 

Recently, he has deliberately set aside half of his daily medical reading time to read the storybook that Ah Xiao found.

 

Why was Ah Xiao looking for it? In fact, it was Du Zhong who was going there, but Ah Xiao felt that Du Zhong had been staying with his boss for a long time already. Although he was normal, but he was actually just a little ice cube. He is not as clever as him, and he knows the little prince better, so he can choose a more suitable one.

 

So, this mission fell on Ah Xiao’s head.

 

Yun Jiangli looked at the stilted dialogues in the storybook with confusion in his eyes. He forced himself to read half of it and was completely confused.

 

He held the book in his hand and sat there for a while. He called the most stable of his three subordinates, Lao Qi, and pointed at the book and asked, “Nowadays… young people actually like this?”

 

Lao Qi listened to his boss’s tone of doubt about life, took the book, and took a look at it.

 

Lao Qi: “……”

 

Is this f*cking human language?

 

Lao Qi was sure that if his boss dared to say such a few words to the little prince, they would have to pack up and leave Prince An’s mansion in a blink of an eye.

 

Lao Qi put the book in his hand into his sleeve and said, “Young Hall Master, believe me! Xiao Wangye absolutely does not like this tone. For the sake of your position as the princess consort, please forget what you just saw.”

 

Yun Jiangli nodded and took another book from the side: “Do you know that this one is even more exaggerated?”

 

Lao Qi snatched it from his master without thinking and was ready to hit Ah Xiao in the face with it.

 

“Actually, think about it, when we were in Jinzhou before, Xiao Wangye was really obedient to you and followed your every command…”

 

Lao Qi analyzed very seriously: “But as to what is going on in this situation now, only you and Xiao Wangye should know best. In my opinion, why don’t you… think about what you have done to let Xiao Wangye down?”

 

Yun Jiangli frowned, “Why do you say that I did something to let him down?”

 

Lao Qi laughed dryly and said, “The subordinate, the subordinate was just giving you an example…”

 

.

 

In fact, that was not the case. The three of them lived together with several guards around Yan Muning in Sangxue Garden. After a few days of getting along with each other, the two masters still disliked each other when they met, but the servants under them had become friends.

 

Especially Xiao Jiu and Ah Xiao, the two have started to call each other brothers and have exchanged some gossip with each other in a friendly manner.

 

Therefore, Lao Qi also knew that the little prince scolded his young hall master as an old scumbag and a big liar.

 

Listening to these two words, he knew that his master must have done something to let the little prince down.

 

He doesn’t know why, although Yun Jiangli looks a bit cold, but his character is absolutely upright, and he has never had any romantic affairs. The only time in the past 23 years was with Yan Muning. But Lao Qi and the other three all agreed that if their master, the old fox, really did something, it seems not impossible either…

 

Of course he didn’t dare let Yun Jiangli know this. Even if the three of them were tied together, their fighting power would not be enough for Yun Jiangli to abuse them alone.

 

Therefore, Lao Qi only dared to mention it in a tactful way at this moment, hoping that his boss would wake up soon.

 

.

 

Although Yun Jiangli didn’t know what his subordinates were thinking about him in this way behind his back, but he vaguely felt that what Lao Qi said seemed to make some sense.

 

It’s not that he has done anything to let the young man down.

 

It’s just that they got along so well in Jinzhou, how come it has become like this now?

 

Yun Jiangli decided to take the initiative to talk to the youth.

 

That afternoon, it was time for the routine acupuncture treatment for Yan Muning. Yun Jiangli went straight to the warm pavilion with the medicine box.

 

As soon as he reached the corridor in front of the warm pavilion, he met Chen Mo, who was in a hurry.

 

“Young Hall Master Yun, I was just about to go look for you.” Chen Mo hurriedly bowed and said, “His Highness is not in the warm pavilion at the moment, just follow me.”

 

Yun Jiangli’s expression froze: “Looking for me?”

 

Chen Mo led the way and said, “Yes, His Majesty felt unwell in the afternoon.”

 

Hearing this, Yun Jiangli’s heart started to panic, and his pace unconsciously quickened.

 

……

 

Yan Muning was lying on the bed at the moment. He had just vomited, and his face was extremely pale.

 

Turning the screen, he saw that his eyes were tightly closed and his lips were pale. Yun Jiangli was so heartbroken that he didn’t care about the etiquette. He squatted beside the bed, held the youth’s wrist, and whispered, “Xiao Qi, I’m here.”

 

Yan Muning did not fall asleep, but his stomach was churning and his chest was tight, and he closed his eyes and endured it.

 

Hearing Yun Jiangli’s gentle voice, he fluttered his eyelashes, opened his eyes, and seemed to be back in Jinzhou, his eyes reddened with grievance: “Ah Li…”

 

A nasal voice of “Ah Li” made Yun Jiangli’s eyes well up with red.

 

“En, I’m here.”

 

He was so heartbroken that he finally understood how the words in the book were not hypocritical. If he was really talking to the person he loved, everything he said would be from the bottom of his heart.

 

Yun Jiangli concentrated and felt the youth’s pulse, then put his arm around his shoulders and lifted him up a little, then stuffed two soft pillows behind his back, putting him in a half-leaning position.

 

“This will make you more comfortable.” He explained to the youth.

 

Then, he turned to look at Shiyi, who was waiting beside him, and asked, “What did Xiao Wangye eat for lunch?”

 

He looked around the room, then raised his hand and pointed at the window: “The room is too stuffy, open the window a little so that Xiao Wangye can be more comfortable.”

 

Shiyi reported everything Yan Muning had eaten and drunk in a proper manner and then asked hesitantly, “Young Hall Master, master is afraid of the cold, so opening the window may be…”

 

“Then open the one in the outer room. From now on, his room should be open for some time every day.” Yun Jiangli ordered.

 

While saying these words, Yun Jiangli’s hand was still on Yan Muning’s wrist. He had already taken Yan Muning’s pulse, but he was reluctant to let go.

 

“Xiao Wangye should eat less sticky food these days.” Yun Jiangli took out the needle bag from the box.

 

Yan Muning had a poor appetite recently, and he would only eat something when he finally came across something that suited his taste. Now when he heard that the big beauty didn’t allow him to eat anymore, he immediately frowned and glared at him.

 

Yun Jiangli was helpless, and his tone revealed a subtle doting: “Why are you glaring at me? Aren’t you the one who’s suffering from your stomach churning?”

 

“Isn’t it all your fault…”

 

The little prince hung his head, pouted his lips, and muttered softly.

 

Yun Jiangli was stunned by these words. The youth’s voice was too soft. If he had not been close to him, he would have suspected that he had heard it wrongly.

 

He frowned and asked, “My fault?”

 

Yan Muning did not answer any more but just shook his head tiredly and closed his eyes.

 

Yun Jiangli sighed softly: “You’ve been busy for a while already, and you haven’t taken a nap yet? I’ll give you an acupuncture treatment, which will make you feel better. You should have a good sleep, and when you wake up, your chest won’t feel stuffy anymore.”

 

After a while, Yan Muning’s complexion eased a little, and he fell asleep in a daze.

 

When Yun Jiangli lowered his eyes to look at the needle, he suddenly heard the youth murmur, “Ah Li…where have you been…”

 

.

 

Yun Jiangli was extremely confused by what the little prince said today and his unconscious attachment. He always felt like he had missed something, but it was as if there was a layer of fog between them, and he could never figure it out clearly.

 

After returning to Jiayue Pavilion, Yun Jiangli took out the pulse record of Yan Muning that he had recorded in recent days and looked at it carefully.

 

It was extremely rare for a man to become pregnant, and he had only seen a few of them over the years.

 

Just now, when he came out of the little prince’s bedroom, he heard Shiyi say that his Highness had not been sleeping well recently and asked him if he had any solution.

 

Yun Jiangli was looking through the pulse case at this time, intending to make some sleeping incense for the youth based on his physique, but he never expected that after reading the pulse case, he would find out something else.

 

He frowned, stood up, took out a few medical books, and started looking through them.

 

After thinking for a while, he still felt uneasy, so he went to Yan Muning’s bedroom again and took his pulse.

 

Returning to Jiayue Pavilion again, Yun Jiangli sat in front of his desk and pondered for a long time. When it got dark, he suddenly thought of something and started writing quickly.

 

“Du Zhong.”

 

Yun Jiangli raised his voice a little to call the person.

 

“Young Hall Master, you called me?” Du Zhong was helping to pick herbs outside.

 

Yun Jiangli nodded and handed him the letter: “You go to Yicheng overnight and hand this letter to the old hall master in person. Then… then bring his reply back to me as soon as possible.”

 

Du Zhong was quite surprised. He couldn’t remember how long it had been since he last saw such a thing. His Young Hall Master had to ask the Old Hall Master for advice on it.

 

“Don’t worry, Young Hall Master. I’ll be back soon.”

 

Du Zhong kept the letter close to himself and prepared to rush to Yicheng overnight.

 

.

 

However, Yun Jiangli never expected that his letter would summon his father to the capital.

 

“I’m just not sure. You don’t have to come here like this, right?” Yun Jiangli stood in the courtyard of the Yun Mansion in the capital, looking at his father, who looked energetic, feeling helpless.

 

“Well, it’s just that the capital is not far away anyway. If you were somewhere else, would I come even if you try to get me to come?”

 

Old Hall Master Yun has the temperament of an old naughty boy and appears to be much more easygoing than Yun Jiangli.

 

Old Hall Master Yun stepped closer and lowered his voice, “The main thing is, I haven’t seen you so hesitant in years, I have to come and see the excitement with my own eyes, right?”

 

Yun Jiangli: “……”

 

He knew that seriousness would only last three seconds.

 

“I heard from Du Zhong that you are currently in Prince An’s residence?” Old Hall Master Yun asked with a smile, “So the question you asked in your letter is also about His Highness Prince An?”

 

Yun Jiangli nodded obediently.

 

Old Hall Master Yun suddenly smiled even more happily, raised his hand, and patted his son on the shoulder: “Good boy ah, let’s go. I will go to Prince An’s Mansion with you to take a look.”

 

Yun Jiangli hesitated for a moment and decided that there would be no problem in letting his father go and take a look. After all, in this rare case, the old man must know more than he did.

 

It’s just… this old man’s smile was really full of excitement about gossip ah!

 

While he was still hesitating, Old Hall Master Yun had already left the mansion first, preparing to go to Prince An’s mansion.

 

.

 

It was a rare warm day today, and the sun was shining brightly. Yan Muning was in good spirits. By chance, Yuchi Zhao came to see him, and the two of them were basking in the sun and playing with the white sparrow in the small garden.

 

Yan Muning was a little surprised when he heard the servant at the front door report that Old Hall Master Yun of Renji Tang was here to visit, and he quickly got up and went to the front yard to greet him.

 

Old Hall Master Yun is not only an elder, but also a renowned divine physician in the Dasheng Dynasty. He is truly a man of great compassion and ability. Not to mention Yan Muning going to greet him, even the current emperor would have to show respect to him when he sees him.

 

“Aiya, what a handsome child.”

 

Old Hall Master Yun saw Yan Muning coming from a distance and immediately went over to whisper in his son’s ear.

 

“Old Hall Master.”

 

Yan Muning bowed and said, “Why did you have to come all the way out here in this cold weather ah?”

 

“Xiao Wangye is too polite. It would be boring for this old man to not go out all the time. My son happened to be in the capital, so I came to meet my old friend in the capital.”

 

Old Hall Master Yun looked at Yan Muning in a very friendly way, thinking that he was much cuter than his own icy son.

 

The group stood in the courtyard and exchanged a few polite greetings before moving to the main hall.

 

Yan Muning had already instructed Chen Mo to transfer away the servants who were unaware of the inside story, and now only his trusted aides were serving inside and outside the main hall.

 

Yun Jiangli had already noticed Yuchi Zhao, who was following the youth. When he looked over, it happened that Yuchi, who was enjoying the excitement and was not afraid of making trouble, deliberately raised his eyebrows at Yun Jiangli with a naughty smile, which made Young Hall Master Yun’s hands itch.

 

“This old man knows Xiao Wangye’s constitution. This old man has met someone like you in the past few years. If you are at ease, could this old man take your pulse and help you?”

 

When it comes to serious matters, old Hall Master Yun is also a straightforward person and does not beat around the bush.

 

Yan Muning raised his hand and placed it on the table: “I have to trouble Old Hall Master.”

 

After the examination, the old hall master smiled and said, “Xiao Wangye is very lucky. Just rest assured.”

 

He then raised his hand and pointed at Yun Jiangli: “My son may be a bit clumsy at speech, but his medical skills are top-notch. Xiao Wangye can trust him.”

 

Yun Jiangli: “……”

 

Yan Muning withdrew his wrist, thanked him politely, and asked if he should arrange for the old hall master to stay in the palace for a few days.

 

“Hey, I’m an old man, I don’t want to hang out with you youngsters.”

 

The old hall master smiled and waved his hands: “This old man has been in the Yun Mansion in the capital recently. This old man has many old friends in the capital and will not return to Yicheng for the time being. If Xiao Wangye has anything, you can call this old man anytime.”

 

Yan Muning responded with a smile and told Xiao Jiu to follow Steward Zhou to get a lot of things and then send them to the Yun Mansion in the capital.

 

.

 

In the Yun Mansion’s study, there were only two hall masters left at this time.

 

Without outsiders present, Old Master Yun was quite strict with his son.

 

“You ah.”

 

Old Hall Master Yun sighed: “Since you asked me in the letter, then you must have some ideas, right? Tell me about it.”

 

Yun Jiangli stood in front of the desk, handed over the pulse case, and explained his doubts and judgments in detail.

 

The old hall master nodded repeatedly after hearing this: “Yes. Look here, the pulse in front does seem to be less than a month old, but men are different after all. Xiao Wangye is young and has been injured before, so his pulse is indeed unstable, so it is not advisable to find out.”

 

“But look at the last few places, it’s a two-month pregnancy, there’s no mistake.” Old Hall Master Yun pointed at a pulse mark and said, “Do you know what this is called?”

 

“You are being too concerned and making things chaotic ah!”

 

When Yun Jiangli heard these four words, he pursed his thin lips tightly.

 

The old hall master continued: “Tell me, what’s going on between you and Prince An?”

 

Yun Jiangli was unhappy: “Did Du Zhong tell on me?”

 

The old hall master shook his head: “This Xiao Wangye must be special to you, right?”

 

Yun Jiangli raised his eyes and asked, “Then how do you know?”

 

“Tsk, you little bastard, you are my son, how could I not know you?”

 

The old hall master had a smug look on his face: “No matter how cool and rational you are on weekdays, you are only 23 years old. If this case happened to someone else, you would not hesitate to ask me.”

 

“It is precisely because he is so important to you that you become more hesitant and dare not jump to conclusions easily.” The old hall master said firmly.

 

“So I’m telling you, if you care too much, you’ll be confused.”

 

Yun Jiangli felt a little embarrassed to talk about this to his father, but he had to say it.

 

He took a deep breath and said, “Yes, he is my sweetheart.”

 

The old hall master nodded and asked, “What about the child that Xiao Wangye is carrying?”

 

Yun Jiangli said with difficulty, “Mi, mine.”

 

The old hall master slammed the table and said, “Good boy ah!”

 

The sound was so loud that Yun Jiangli took a step back in fear. He only heard the old man laughing loudly: “You are worthy of being my son ah. Doesn’t that mean I will become a prince’s father-in-law? Good guy, I will soon have a grandson ah!”

 

Yun Jiangli: “……”

 

After the old hall master was excited, he looked at his son suspiciously and said, “Then why did I hear from Du Zhong that you two… don’t live together?”

 

Whenever this matter was mentioned, Yun Jiangli’s head started buzzing. He really wanted to go back to the time when he first came to the capital.

 

“That, that…”

 

Yun Jiangli was a little panicked and stammered, “I misunderstood before… Didn’t the pulses from the previous few times seem to be less than a month old?”

 

The old hall master was dumbfounded: “So you almost didn’t recognize your own child?”

 

Yun Jiangli argued, “Didn’t you also say that worrying makes one confused? I was just anxious. It should have been two months…”

 

The old hall master was so angry that his beard stood up: “Aiyo, you’ve angered me to death. I thought you were a block of ice, but you turned out to be a block of wood! Get out of here quickly and go to Xiao Wangye’s mansion to coax the person. If you can’t coax your own wife, you don’t have to come back.”

 

Yun Jiangli lost all his temper after being scolded by his old man. He was wrong this time, and he was almost regretting it to death already.

 

.

 

Yun Jiangli returned to Prince An’s mansion worriedly. He felt a little guilty. Just as he was thinking about how to appease the other party, he heard Yuchi Zhao’s loud voice when he passed by the small garden—

 

“Ah Ning, look at this, it’s so funny ah!”

 

Yun Jiangli felt sour, turned around, and walked towards the garden.

 

“Xiao Qi.”

 

Yan Muning turned around when he heard the voice and saw that it was Yun Jiangli. His eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered that he had just called him: Xiao Qi.

 

Feeling unhappy again, he lowered his eyes and asked, “Young Hall Master Yun is back?”

 

Yun Jiangli stood in front of the little prince, looked at the youth’s slightly red nose, and asked softly, “Are you feeling a little cold after sitting for so long?”

 

When Yuchi Zhao heard this, he naturally raised his hand and touched Yan Muning’s cheek: “Ah Ning, are you cold? It’s not cold to the touch.”

 

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuchi Zhao felt a chill behind him. He shivered unconsciously and turned around to see Yun Jiangli looking at him with cold eyes.

 

The clever Yuchi Zhao immediately understood that someone was jealous ah!

 

Yuchi Zhao smiled secretly in his heart: Hehehe, Ah Ning, don’t blame me, I am trying to help you two.

 

Yuchi Zhao hugged Yan Muning’s arm affectionately and said coquettishly, “Ah Ning, this season is perfect for hot springs. Let’s go to the outskirts of the capital tomorrow!”

 

Yun Jiangli said coldly, “It is not appropriate for Xiao Wangye to take a hot spring bath now.”

 

Yuchi Zhao rolled his eyes and said, “Then… Ah Ning, let’s go to Xingyun Lou to listen to books [mfn]Listen to books sound weird but it’s like you go to the restaurant and there’s someone who will talk about stuff in the book on the stage, it’s something like that[/mfn] tomorrow! I heard that a new book was released a few days ago, and it’s very interesting!”

 

Yun Jiangli gritted his teeth and said, “A noisy place like that. I’m afraid it would be uncomfortable for Xiao Wangye to go there now.”

 

Yuchi Zhao thought it was very interesting to see this icy big beauty getting jealous and continued, “Ah Ning, Ah Ning, my elder brother sent someone to deliver fresh honey pomelo from the western border. It should arrive tomorrow, I’ll give it to you!”

 

Yun Jiangli clenched his fists and was about to retort, but suddenly his voice lowered a little: “Uh, honey pomelo… is suitable for Xiao Wangye; then, then send more!”

 

……

 

Yan Muning had no idea what these two were doing, and his head hurt just listening to them arguing.

 

It would be fine if it was just Yuchi, as he was a noisy person to begin with, but why did this big beauty keep following him and making trouble endlessly too?

 

The little prince couldn’t bear to listen any longer, so he stood up and covered the two of them with his hands: “Shut up.”

 

“I’m hungry. I’ll go back to the warm pavilion first.” Yan Muning made an excuse and turned to walk to the other side of the small garden.

 

“Ai, Ah Ning, wait…”

 

Yuchi Zhao was just about to say wait for him to join him when Yun Jiangli grabbed him by the back of the neck.

 

Yun Jiangli was extremely childish when he was jealous: “Shizi ye, it’s almost time to go back home for dinner. Xiao Wangye has been eating light food recently, I’m afraid it doesn’t suit your appetite.”

 

Yuchi Zhao suppressed his laughter and called out loudly, “Ah Ning, I’m going back first. I’ll be back later ah!”

 

Yan Muning didn’t even turn his head but just raised one hand and waved it, signaling him to hurry up.

 

Yun Jiangli saw that the troublesome Yuchi finally walked out and quickly turned around and strode after his wife—

 

“Xiao Qi.”

 

“What else does Young Hall Master Yun want to say?”

 

“Why don’t you call me Ah Li anymore?” Yun Jiangli was dissatisfied.

 

My wife calls that brat Ah Zhao, but calls me Young Hall Master? I feel so sad.

 

Yan Muning, who didn’t know what was wrong with this guy today: “……”

 

Yun Jiangli followed him in a gentle voice: “Xiao Qi, let’s talk.”

 

The little prince frowned. This guy acting weird today?

 

As he was talking, they had already reached the warm pavilion. He stopped and turned to look at the big beauty: “What do you want to talk about?”

 

After asking this question suddenly, Yun Jiangli was stuck, he hadn’t figured out what to talk about yet.

 

When he lowered his eyes, he saw that the youth’s face had gained a little weight in recent days.

 

He took a step closer, raised his hand, and poked the youth’s belly lightly through his soft clothes.

 

“Let’s talk about… my son.”

 

The little prince: “!?”

 

Yan Muning glared at Yun Jiangli fiercely with his round eyes, took a small step back, and directly raised his foot to kick the big beauty’s calf with force—

 

“Get lost!”

 

The author has something to say:

Yun Jiangli: I heard someone wants to be my baby’s father? Everyone, back off.

(Inner thoughts: You dare to come and get close to my wife and kid? How about I show you how I get jealous?)
