Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart - Chapter 1438

1438 I Told You I’m Fine

Long Yin frowned when he heard her words. “It’s none of your business regardless of where he’s hurt. There’s no need for you to go over.”

Yaoyao looked at him in astonishment. “How could you be so cold, Royal Brother? This isn’t some random person, it’s Big Bro Lil Qi. How is it none of my concern?”

Bao Yu nodded in agreement.

Long Yin, “…”

!!
“Ji’er is already on her way to see him. Let’s head there as well.” Yaoyao grabbed her Royal Brother’s arm and led the way to Auspicious Palace without another word.

Long Yin frowned. He was a boy and was wise beyond his years. He understood where Chu Qi had been hurt.

He wanted to explain it to Yaoyao but found himself unable to do it, and in the end, he was dragged to Auspicious Palace.

When Ji’er arrived at Chu Qi’s room, she found her mother and Butler Zhao there. Her chest tightened. Was Chu Qi seriously hurt?

However, it was apparent that her mother and Butler Zhao had been there for some time already. When she entered the room, she heard Lil Qi say coldly, “There’s nothing wrong with me. I’m not hurt. You’re mistaken, Zhao Qian.”

“How was I mistaken? You’re the one who said it yourself, that you didn’t want to ruin a lady’s life. Isn’t it because of some hidden condition? There’s no need to be shy about it. Her Highness is already here. Just let her check your pulse and have it treated as soon as possible.”

Chu Qi’s handsome face turned completely red, looking as though he just had a lot to drink. He lowered his voice and said, “I told you I’m fine.”

Zhao Qian did not believe him and wanted to convince him again, but Lu Liangwei interrupted him. “Butler Zhao, if Lil Qi says he is fine, he might really be fine.”

Zhao Qian opened his mouth and was about to say something when he spotted Ji’er standing at the back. He jumped. “Princess Ji’er?”

Lu Liangwei quickly turned to look and she saw her youngest daughter. She wondered how long had she been there, watching them with a serious expression.

“Ji’er?”

Ji’er snapped out of her daze. She approached Chu Qi and tugged on his sleeve, advising him with a stern look, “Lil Qi, it’s not right to avoid physicians. You should see one if you’re sick. My mother has incredible medical skills. She can definitely treat you.”

Chu Qi glanced at her. His fine eyebrows were knitted in a tight frown. He looked at Zhao Qian furiously.

It took quite a while before he said, “I’m really fine. It’s just Butler Zhao spouting nonsense.”

“Really?” Ji’er looked at him a little skeptically. This felt just like the time she was sick but lied about it because she did not want to take her medicine.

Lil Qi must be lying because he did not want to take his medicine too.

“Honest.” Chu Qi assured her.

Ji’er looked at Lu Liangwei for help. “Mother, is Lil Qi really alright?”

“He should be fine,” Lu Liangwei said. All she wanted was to get Ji’er to leave as soon as possible regardless of whether Lil Qi was sick or not. This sort of condition was not suitable for Ji’er to hear about. “Lil Qi is an adult. He knows best if he is unwell. Ji’er, the Osmanthus in the imperial garden has bloomed. How about following me there for a walk?”

Ji’er shook her head as she held Lu Liangwei’s hand, pulling her toward Lil Qi. “Can you take Lil Qi’s pulse? I’ll feel better if you do.”

Lu Liangwei rubbed her head with slight helplessness. She turned to Chu Qi and said, “Lil Qi, I’ll need to take your pulse so Ji’er can stop worrying.”

Chu Qi looked at Ji’er, whose eyes were filled with expectation. He reached his hand out somewhat exasperatedly.

Zhao Qian held his breath and watched.

Lu Liangwei pulled her hand away after a while and said with a smile, “You have a strong pulse. There isn’t anything wrong with you.”

Chu Qi looked at Ji’er and said, “Do you feel better now?”

Ji’er was relieved. “I’m fine as long as you’re healthy.” After that, she took Lu Liangwei’s hand. “I’ll accompany you to admire the Osmanthus, Mother.”

“Alright.” Lu Liangwei agreed readily and held her little hand as they walked out of Auspicious Palace.

Once they were gone, Chu Qi frowned as he looked at Zhao Qian. “I’ve told you there’s nothing wrong with me, but you still insisted on disturbing Her Highness. Do you want the entire Palace to think there’s something wrong with me?”
