The next day, Jun Mohan forced his eyes open, only to find himself lying in bed, his mouth dry, and his whole body aching…
“Come, someone.” He pursed his chapped, thin lips, his voice hoarse and his breath weak.
Outside the door, Yin Chen, hearing movement inside, hurried to push it open and rushed in.
“Your Highness, you’re finally awake,” Yin Chen said, his face filled with excitement.
Jun Mohan cautiously shifted to the side of the bed, propping himself up with his elbows on the bed board, attempting to struggle to his feet.
Yin Chen quickly helped him up.
“Who saved this Prince?” Jun Mohan asked, full of curiosity.
“Your Highness, it was Miss Leng who saved you. She stayed here guarding you all night yesterday. Seeing how tired she was, I arranged for her to sleep in the room next door.”
Yin Chen felt a surge of gratitude towards Leng Ruo Li.
“Leng Ruo Li?” Before he lost consciousness last night, he seemed to have seen his father and Leng Ruo Li… He had no memory of what happened after that.
“Yes, Your Highness. The Emperor also came to Prince Leng’s mansion last night and only returned to the palace late. Miss Leng was found by me at the Emperor’s request. If it weren’t for her, Your Highness’s wolf poison wouldn’t have been controlled so quickly,” Yin Chen said, a hint of lingering fear in his voice.
Jun Mohan nodded slightly upon hearing this. As soon as his body fully recovered its strength, he stepped out of his room and walked towards the room where Leng Ruo Li was staying.
Meanwhile, Leng Ruo Li, sleeping soundly on the bed in the wing room, looked endearingly clumsy in her sleep. Her cheeks were rosy, her eyes tightly shut, and her long eyelashes were like two fans. The dark spots on her face seemed to have faded considerably. Her cherry-red lips were slightly parted, with a trickle of drool at the corner of her mouth, making her look pitiable. Even for him, who had always kept his distance from women, it stirred an impulse to kiss her.
Thus, Jun Mohan sat by her bedside and watched for a long time. The girl remained asleep.
Half an hour later, Leng Ruo Li’s small face suddenly furrowed in pain. She curled into a ball, tossing and turning, and a warm flow gushed out from beneath her.
Suddenly, she sensed someone sitting by her bed. Her eyes shot open, and she sat up abruptly, only to see Jun Mohan sitting blankly by her bedside, looking lost.
“Ugly woman, are you alright?”
Seeing Leng Ruo Li awake, Jun Mohan asked somewhat awkwardly.
“I’m fine. Please, Your Highness, you should leave first.”
Leng Ruo Li sat up on the bed with restraint, her hands covering her aching abdomen, her brow furrowed, her face turning pale, and her expression one of extreme pain.
Seeing her like this, Jun Mohan was completely flustered and did not heed her words to leave the room.
He then asked her with concern.
“What’s wrong? Is your stomach hurting? I’ll call a doctor to take a look for you.”
With that, he prepared to get up and instruct someone to find a doctor.
“Jun Mohan, come back!”
Leng Ruo Li yelled at him.
“Ugly woman, if you’re sick, you need to see a doctor. You can’t just endure it.”
Jun Mohan’s handsome brows were tightly knit, and he replied somewhat irritably.
“Your Highness, I’m truly fine. You don’t need to call a doctor.”
Leng Ruo Li said with great helplessness.
“Since you don’t want a doctor to come, I’ll carry you to see one.”
It was clear that Jun Mohan hadn’t understood Leng Ruo Li’s meaning.
As he spoke, Jun Mohan walked to the bedside and attempted to pick up Leng Ruo Li.
Leng Ruo Li quickly moved further inside the bed, evading Jun Mohan’s large hand. However, Jun Mohan abruptly pulled back the quilt.
“What are you doing?”
Leng Ruo Li said, somewhat alarmed.
Jun Mohan ignored her, his gaze drawn to a conspicuous patch of bright red blood on the bedsheet.
He immediately asked nervously, “Ugly woman, are you injured? Did I hurt you last night?”
At this moment, Leng Ruo Li also noticed the bloodstain on her bedsheet and blushed with embarrassment. It turned out she had her period, which explained the severe abdominal pain. This was likely the first time the original owner’s body had experienced menstruation.
Because the original owner had long suffered abuse and malnutrition, her body was damaged. It was only recently, with her improved nutrition, that her body had gradually recovered.
However, its timing was terrible. Not only had it stained someone else’s bed, but Jun Mohan had also seen it. This made Leng Ruo Li feel quite embarrassed.
“No, no, hurry and get out.” Leng Ruo Li said, her face filled with urgency.
“Don’t be afraid. If I hurt you, you can just tell me directly.” Jun Mohan still thought Leng Ruo Li was afraid of him and dared not reveal the reason for her injury.
“I said it’s not that. Hurry up and get out! Get out!”
At this moment, a wave of intense pain shot through Leng Ruo Li’s lower abdomen, causing her small face to contort into a bitter grimace, her complexion turning ashen.
Her state made Jun Mohan even more anxious.
“I’ll go call a doctor right now.”
“No, really, no need. I’m a doctor myself.”
“Then tell me, where are you injured? I’ll have someone fetch medicine to dress it for you.”
“…”
Leng Ruo Li’s face instantly flushed. Jun Mohan was truly dense.
“I… I have… that… that thing.”
“That what?” Jun Mohan was still completely bewildered.
Seeing that he still didn’t understand, Leng Ruo Li sighed inwardly, “It’s that thing women have every month.”
Upon hearing this, Jun Mohan’s face visibly turned red.
“That… that, I’ll call…”
Jun Mohan pondered who to call. His mansion had no women, so it was truly troublesome.
“Your Highness, there’s no need to call anyone else. I’ll go take a hot bath and change my clothes.”
With that, Jun Mohan immediately reacted. He walked to the bedside, extended his arms, wrapped Leng Ruo Li in the quilt, slung her over his shoulder, and carried her through a corridor into his room.
Instantly, Yin Chen and the other guards were dumbfounded. Was the man carrying Miss Leng just now really their Prince?
Good heavens!
Their Prince could actually approach women now?
Subsequently, these guards began to gossip wantonly, one after another.
Upon hearing this, Yin Chen cupped his fist to his mouth and coughed forcefully. The gossiping guards instantly fell silent.

In the room, Jun Mohan found a switch behind a landscape painting and pressed it lightly. The wall opened, and he brought Leng Ruo Li to his hot spring pool and set her down.
“This hot spring water has healing properties. If you’re feeling unwell, soaking in the hot spring will help a lot,” Jun Mohan said somewhat awkwardly, then turned and walked out.
He left Leng Ruo Li, who was still in a daze, standing by the hot spring.
Then, she slowly took off her clothes and slowly stepped into the hot spring water.
“Oh…”
Leng Ruo Li gave a soft gasp. She had to admit that soaking in the hot spring water was incredibly comfortable. Even the pain in her lower abdomen had lessened considerably.
Alas, she hadn’t expected Jun Mohan to be so luxurious, having such a large hot spring pool in his room. If she could have a hot spring pool like this, it would truly be wonderful.
At this moment, as Leng Ruo Li was enjoying the soak in the hot spring water, Jun Mohan outside was wracking his brain trying to find suitable women’s clothing for her.
Later, he had no choice but to send the butler to a shop on the street to buy two sets for Leng Ruo Li.
When Jun Mohan returned with the clothes and entered the hot spring room an hour later, Leng Ruo Li had fallen asleep comfortably in the hot spring pool.
