Going out at night to play
Soon after, the butler hurried over with the detoxifying pill and physician Li.
Zhou Huaiyan’s eyes were slightly surprised. He thought it would be a new doctor, but it was actually still the same doctor.
——That’s easy to handle.
So the young man calmly let go of the kitten’s paw and exposed his wrist so that the doctor could feel his pulse.
The ticklish feeling in his palm suddenly disappeared. Ah Fei was slightly startled, feeling a strange sense of loss in his heart.
When physician Li saw Ah Fei next to the Ninth Prince, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he didn’t say anything more.
“His Little Highness suddenly suffered from a heart attack, even spitting out blood!”
The butler anxiously looked at the imperial physician. When the latter heard this, he was shocked. He did not dare to delay and immediately came forward to check his pulse.
However, as soon as he put his hand on it, physician Li saw the weak young man quickly blinking at him twice.
Physician Li: “……”
The old man looked at the anxious Duke Wei with embarrassment and then at the Ninth Prince, who seemed to be on the verge of dying in the next second.
Ai……
“What’s the result?!”
Duke Wei was dying of anxiety.
Physician Li deliberated his words for a short while,
“This…… His Little Highness has no symptoms of poisoning. He is probably weak for now……because he’s emotionally agitated. It’s the reverse flow of his qi and blood, but it’s nothing serious. This humble servant will immediately prescribe some warm and nourishing decoction. He must take care in building up his health by resting and consuming nourishing foods.”
Reverse flow of his qi and blood……?
After hearing this, Ah Fei’s eyebrows furrowed strangely.
It was good that he wasn’t poisoned, but there seemed to be something hidden beneath that steady pulse.
A bit like……gu.
It’s just that Ah Fei touched it in a rush a moment ago, so he wasn’t sure at all.
Imperial Physician Li had been taking care of Zhou Huaiyan for many years and knew his health very well. Therefore, Duke Wei did not notice anything strange.
He thought it was merely because he had just forced the child into a panic, and that’s why he is like this now.
Duke Wei couldn’t help but think of that winter, when the child’s cat died. He fell seriously ill that night and suffered from fever on and off for a month, almost dying.
Thinking about the past, he sighed silently.
Huaiyan followed the appearance of his younger sister, and even his stubborn temperament seemed to be identical to hers, a hundred percent.

“Oloa sbeg tfjv eq.”
Ah Fei’s body stiffened slightly, and then he raised his head as he was told.
His extremely rare pale green pupils were as clear and beautiful as ice jade.
Even though he had fought with foreigners for many years, Duke Wei had only seen such beautiful and rare eyes once.
“You really have the eyes of a wild cat!”
The man’s eyes were cold, as if frost had formed on them.
“Should you harbor ill intentions toward Huaiyan one day, Laofu will chop you like a human pig, rendering you helpless to seek survival or plead for mercy.”
“……Yes.”
Ah Fei’s expression did not change. He folded his hands and bent down to perform a grand salute.
This slave will keep this in mind.
“Humph.”
Duke Wei walked out of the door in large strides.
The butler quickly followed,
“Grand Duke, please calm down. His Highness only saw that the foreigner’s eyes were very similar to that long-haired cat from back then, and he loved everything about that cat. Once His Highness’s interest wears off, he will naturally not like him anymore.”
Speaking of that cat back then, everyone thought that Zhou Huaiyan’s love for it was just a child’s nature, but in the end……
In any case, this kind of thing wouldn’t possibly reoccur the second time.
Duke Wei heaved a sigh,
“Let it be. People always live longer than cats.”
Now that things have come to this, he can only let him go.
“He Jin, go check out the background of that foreigner. The more detailed it is, the better.”
“Yes.”
……
As soon as the door closed and his uncle left, Zhou Huaiyan immediately became doughty as a dragon and lively as a tiger. He got off the bed and pulled up the kitten, kneeling in the corner.
The young man’s eyebrows were raised with a relaxed smile,
“Ah Fei must be scared. It’s fine. You just have to be good. Uncle won’t trouble you anymore after today.”
“……”
Ah Fei looked at his master blankly. Of course, he knew that Zhou Huaiyan was pretending to be ill, but he didn’t expect that the reason his master was pretending to be ill was for him.
“Ah! I almost forgot.”
Zhou Huaiyan appeared to recall something as he hammered the palm of his hand,
“Quick, quick, quick. Zhima, change my clothes quickly!”
The maid was stunned for a moment, then came over carrying the clothes in her arms.
“It’s already this late. Where are you going, Your Highness? If the Grand Duke asks……”
“I’m going to leave the mansion quietly.”
Upon hearing that he was going out tonight, Zhima was so shocked that she hurriedly kneeled on the ground.
“Your Highness! You must absolutely not do this, ah. If the Grand Duke……”
“Dianxia doesn’t like chatty servants.”
The young man narrowed his eyes and imitated Duke Wei’s tone,
“If you dare to talk more, Dianxia will chop you like a human pig!”
“……”
A moment later, Zhou Huaiyan had already changed into a dark green robe. But just as he was about to leave, the kitten stopped him by holding on to the corner of his clothes.
Hmm?
He lowered his head and looked at the little one, who was staring at him eagerly. He teased,
“What, can’t bear to leave me?”
Ah Fei’s face flushed red.
He hesitated for a moment, then nodded. He wasn’t sure if he checked wrongly at that time, but something was really wrong with his pulse……
Zhou Huaiyan thought for a while and smeared the bridge of the kitten’s nose with his finger,
“Well then, I’ll take you to play with me.”
Play?
Ah Fei looked at him blankly,
It’s already late at night, are we really going outside to play?
Then, an hour later——
The kitten followed the young man into the largest brothel in the capital.
Ah Fei: “……?!!”
Zhou Huaiyan didn’t pay attention to the kitten’s shocked look. Despite the risk involved in coming out like this, especially concerning the assassination, he deliberately delayed it in the Grand Duke’s Mansion for this long, naturally waiting for the fish to take the bait.
He was supposed to come in the morning, but who would have thought that his uncle would suddenly appear? He had no choice but to postpone it until now.
The young man raised his chin, looking like a loafer brother, and walked directly upstairs.
A young male servant immediately came over to greet him in a flattering manner,
“Young Master Zhou is quite a few hours late today. We, and Miss Jin Cui, are all waiting so sadly. Quite a lot of noble people spent huge sums of money on her, but she refused to meet them.”
As he said that, he glanced repeatedly at Ah Fei, who was following the young man. Seeing the deep facial features and rare eyes unique to the foreign race, it seemed as though he wanted to speak but then stopped.
“Ha…… It’s my fault for keeping the beauty waiting for a long time.”
Zhou Huaiyan laughed lightly and casually tossed him a few pieces of gold foil.
“Old rules.”
The young man shot a glance at the little tail following behind him and added with a smile,
“Hmm, we’ll have another pot of hot milk tea tonight. I want goat’s milk.”
“All right!”
The young male servant who led the way accepted the money, said a lot of flattery with a grin, and stopped asking about Ah Fei.
Ah Fei saw that Zhou Huaiyan was very familiar with the place. Someone even came to specially welcome him. He seemed to be a frequent visitor here. His heart was troubled, but he still followed obediently.
The purpose of a man coming to a brothel was not only that. But Zhou Huaiyan, who had just deceived Duke Wei in the morning, actually dared to take such a big risk to come here at night……
Wait a minute.
The kitten suddenly froze——
Even at the risk of being discovered by Duke Wei, the master still came to the brothel. What did this mean? It meant that the master had been very impatient and really wanted……the pleasure of close intimacy within couples.
This impatience…… was it because he endured it all night?
Ah Fei felt that he had finally found the truth.
The master was just a young man full of vigor and vitality. How could he possibly be pure of heart and only have a few desires? Otherwise, why would the master run to the brothel in the middle of the night, risking the danger of Duke Wei’s wrath?
The kitten’s pupils suddenly dilated.
Perhaps……
Ah Fei stared blankly at the young man’s back, his expression changing from shock to confusion, then gradually to complexity, and finally——
“Ah……”
The kitten suddenly hugged his head in frustration——
He should have taken the initiative to ask the master last night……
Estoy segura de que esto es un malentendido, A-Fei, but we’ll see 😂
