Chapter 266: Beautiful Killer VS Undefeated War God Prince 9
Yu Yao has been in a bad mood since the day she was steamed to death. She is full of worries and always stares blankly at one place with empty eyes.

She was afraid that her identity would be exposed one day and she would end up like that.

But he couldn't make up his mind to leave the palace, and for a moment, he didn't know what to do.

Xiangling walked into the house quietly, holding a cup of warm tea in her hand, her brows furrowed, full of worry.

She gently placed the hot tea in her hand on the table and said worriedly, "Girl, why have you been so absent-minded these past two days? But what happened that day..."

Yu Yao sighed softly, staring at the swaying willow branches outside the window with empty eyes, and said weakly: "Xiangling, I'm fine, I just feel a little depressed."

"You said you were fine, no, I'll go to the front yard and ask a doctor to come and take a look..."

Xiangling was a quick-tempered person. She did what she said. After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran out of the house.

Obviously, he went to the front yard to ask for the government doctor.

Yu Yao looked at Xiangling's departing back and opened her mouth, but it was too late to call out to her.

She shook her head helplessly and laughed, "This girl is really impatient."

He didn't care and let Xiangling go to ask the palace doctor.

The palace's doctor is called Li Moxuan, who is about forty years old, with a gaunt face and a transcendental temperament between his brows. He often appears in a light blue robe, and walks with dignity.

When Li Moxuan heard that Miss Yu from Fangfei Garden was not feeling well, he did not dare to neglect her and hurriedly followed Xiangling, carrying his medicine box.

Soon, Li Moxuan walked into Fangfei Garden carrying a medicine box.

Xiangling followed closely behind.

At this time, Yu Yao was sitting in front of the window reading a storybook. When she saw the two people come in, she was stunned for a moment.

"Master Li, the young lady has been staring at one place in a daze these days. I don't know if she was frightened that day. Please take a look at her."

After Xiangling entered the room, she spoke to Li Moxuan anxiously.

Li Moxuan placed the medicine box on the table inside the house and looked at Yu Yao, "Miss Yu, I heard that you were not feeling well recently, so I came to see you."

Yu Yao smiled faintly, got up from the bed, and said, "Sorry to bother you, Lord Li. I'm fine. I just haven't been in good spirits these past two days. This girl was afraid that something might happen to me, so she hurried to invite you over."

"Haha, no problem. Since you are here, I will take your pulse."

Li Moxuan said with a smile.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Lord Li."

Yu Yao sat back by the window, stretched out her left hand, lifted her sleeve slightly, revealing her snow-white wrist, and placed it aside.

Li Moxuan took out a silk handkerchief, placed it on her wrist, and took her pulse through it.

Xiangling watched nervously from the side. When she saw Li Moxuan withdraw his hand, she asked anxiously, "Master Li, is the girl okay?"

Li Moxuan put away the handkerchief slowly and said slowly: "Although the pulse is fine, the blood circulation is not smooth because there is something on his mind."

As soon as Yu Yao heard this, she knew that this court doctor was quite capable and she indeed had something on her mind.

But she didn't want others to notice anything and then suspect her, so she said: "Master Li is right, that day..."

"What happened that day has nothing to do with you, so why bother thinking about it?"

Li Moxuan shook his head slightly, wrote a prescription and handed it to Xiangling: "I will prescribe a few prescriptions to calm the nerves and relieve depression. You should boil them and give them to Miss Yu on time. Also, spend more time talking to her, go for a walk in the garden, don't stay in the house all day."

Xiangling nodded repeatedly, took the prescription, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Palace Doctor. I'll make a note of it."

Li Moxuan gave a few more instructions, then packed up his medicine box and left.

The front yard of the palace.

The sunlight shines through the clouds onto the bluestone road in the front yard, casting patches of mottled light and shadows.

Dong Feng hurriedly walked through the long corridor with carved beams and painted buildings, appeared at the door of the study, and knocked on the door himself, "Master."

"Enter."

A man's deep and clear voice was heard from the study.

Dongfeng pushed the door open and went in. He glanced at his master in front of the desk and reported respectfully, "Master, Miss Yu from Fangfei Garden has invited the palace doctor."

Xuanyuan Cheng paused for a moment with the pen in his hand, and the ink spread across the rice paper.

He looked up at Dongfeng, a hint of barely perceptible worry flashed across his brows, and he frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

The voice is steady and powerful.

Dongfeng did not dare to hide it and said respectfully: "Lord Li said after the diagnosis that Miss Yu was depressed and her blood circulation was not smooth, all because of excessive worry." "Excessive worry?"

Xuanyuan Cheng frowned deeply. What on earth was this woman thinking? She actually made herself sick from holding it in.

That day, although she went to watch the execution, she also ordered people to send her back early.

I didn't see the entire execution process, so why would I be so frightened?
Could it be that she is afraid of something?
Xuanyuan Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly when he thought of this.

He put down the wolf hair brush in his hand and decided to go to Fangfei Garden to find out for himself.

Dongfeng was stunned for a moment, then quickly caught up after he reacted.

Xuanyuan Cheng's figure soon appeared in the backyard, where there were winding paths and the fragrance of flowers.

He had just walked into the garden and was about to head towards Fangfei Garden.

Suddenly, a fragrant breeze blew towards me, mixed with deliberate charm and teasing.

Xuanyuan Cheng paused, frowned, and looked over, only to see a woman in a rose-red palace dress embroidered with acacia flowers. She held a round fan in her hand, half covering her face, and walked lightly to block his way.

The woman had a high bun and was surrounded by pearls and jade, with a calculating gleam in her eyes. It was obvious that she had heard the news and had been waiting here for a long time.

This is Li Youyan, the daughter of the magistrate of Huaiyang County. She participated in a beauty pageant half a year ago and was appointed by Xuanyuan Zan to be a concubine in the Qin Palace.

Although she is a concubine, she has not yet served the emperor in bed, so she cannot be formally called a girl and can only be called a girl.

"My Lord, you are finally here. It is really tiring for me to sit here and wait for you every day."

Li Youyan's voice was gentle, with a bit of coquettish grievance. As she spoke, she slowly approached, the round fan swaying gently, as if it could fan the softest part of people's hearts.

Xuanyuan Cheng didn't know the woman in front of him, nor did he have any impression of her, but he was sure that it was the woman in his backyard.

I just don't know whether it was his mother who stuffed it in or his brother.

"I have something to do, please get out of the way."

His voice was low and powerful, without a trace of emotion, like the cold wind in winter, making people shudder.

Li Youyan was stunned, obviously not expecting that her beauty and means would be so vulnerable in front of Xuanyuan City.

She bit her lip unwillingly, trying to persuade him to stay with a more charming gesture: "My lord, I just want to chat with you and relieve your boredom..."

Xuanyuan Cheng had lost his patience. He flashed and easily avoided Li Youyan's entanglement, leaving behind only a resolute back and a cold fragrance that had not yet dissipated in the air.

Li Youyan looked at Xuanyuan Cheng's hurriedly departing back, looking very sad.

The prince was not interested in her, and she felt that she would really spend the rest of her life alone in this palace.

In Fangfei Garden, the fragrance of medicine and flowers are intertwined.

When Yu Yao heard Xiangling's report that someone from Xuanyuan City had come to Fangfeiyuan, she was shocked. She packed up hastily and went out quickly to greet them.

As soon as she reached the door, Xuanyuan Cheng stepped into Fangfei Garden.

The man was dressed in a black robe, looking cold, handsome, resolute and extraordinary.

"Your Majesty has arrived. I am sorry that I failed to welcome you from afar. I hope you will forgive me."

Yu Yao hurried forward and bowed with lowered brows.

Xuanyuan Cheng saw that her face was pale and her body seemed thinner, and he couldn't help feeling a little pity for her.

He gently helped her up and said softly, "You are not feeling well, so there is no need to be polite. I heard from the court doctor that you are overly worried, but were you scared by the execution that day?"

Although his attitude was gentle, his eyes were fixed on the expression on her face, observing her carefully with an implicit scrutiny.

Yu Yao wanted to say that she was indeed scared.

But then, she keenly realized that Xuanyuan Cheng was looking at her.

Her heart skipped a beat and she suddenly became nervous, thinking that this man might be suspicious of something.

Although Yu Yao was very nervous, she looked calm. She found a plausible excuse: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I grew up in the Western Regions and am used to being free. I am suddenly locked up in this square backyard. I am bound to be bored."

She smiled bitterly, "Plus the execution that day, I was afraid that I would not be able to adapt to the life in the palace. I was also afraid that I would make some mistakes by accident, and that in the future I would end up..."

She looked helpless and afraid.

Although she didn't finish her words, Xuanyuan Cheng understood what she meant next.

He smiled faintly, without any doubt, and whispered to comfort her: "If you feel bored, I will take you out for a walk some other day. As for your worry about not being able to adapt to the life in the palace and making mistakes, there is no need to worry about this. As long as you don't make any principled mistakes, I am easy to talk to."

He was not a cruel and murderous person. The reason why he executed the maid by steaming her that day was because she spread rumors and touched his bottom line.
