"With all due respect, I cannot accept a gift from His Majesty. It is the duty of a physician to help those who need his help. Being a court healer is an honor, but I can't accept that either."
Emperor Xi and Jian Heng looked disappointed by Fang Yin's reply. However, they could not impose their will and restrain Fang Yin from staying.
"You're very talented, Miss. If you may know, where did you learn medicine? We'd like to send young healers to learn treatment techniques like you have."
Emperor Xi wanted to print great healers in his country. Physicians who exist today still have the old-fashioned way and minimal knowledge about health. Lately he has also seen high death rates in areas affected by the outbreak.
Actually Jian Heng wanted to help Fang Yin to answer his father's question. At the same time, Fang Yin did not study medicine at a special academy. Perhaps he had a teacher, but it was unclear his identity or perhaps he did not want to be clearly revealed.
"I'm sorry, Your Honor. I can't tell you where I studied medicine from. However, I am willing to share my medical knowledge with the young healers you see as talented."
"Yes, I'll gather them in the morning." Emperor Xi instantly approved of Fang Yin's idea. He did not want to lose this opportunity and felt afraid if Fang Yin changed her mind.
Jian Heng was relieved. At least he could still see Fang Yin for some time.
Emperor Xi asked Jian Heng to prepare a temporary residence for Fang Yin. With various unreasonable reasons to his father, he gave his childhood room to Fang Yin.
The room was next to his room, so he could keep an eye on Fang Yin at all times. She did not want her two brothers to approach her, especially Hao Xiang who showed interest in her.
The night was getting late and all agreement had been reached, Fang Yin asked himself to rest. Jian Heng followed him behind and showed him a place to stay. Outside Emperor Xi's room, they passed by Changyi and Hao Xiang. They listened to the conversation between the three of them.
"Dad! It seemed like the room for Miss Xiao Yin was too simple. He saved my life, we should have given him adequate facilities." Hao Xiang immediately spoke at length as soon as he came.
Emperor Xi felt a sense of rivalry between his three sons. This time they were attracted to the same woman. A simple woman who is not even known what her face looks like.
"I don't know what's the matter between you. Just one message, don't make Miss Xiao Yin feel uncomfortable staying here and reverse her decision to share her knowledge with the young healer you sent." Emperor Xi was firm with his two sons.
They're speechless. What his father said is true. They look childish with all their behavior. Their younger brother first knew Fang Yin and knew a lot about her, it would be best if their residence was close together. However, regarding matters of the heart, the two did not want to budge on Jian Heng.
Changyi and Hao Xiang left Emperor Xi's room after making sure his father was fine. They went back to their rooms and rested.
The Jian Heng palace,
"This is your room, Xiao Yin. If there's anything or need anything you can call me." Jian Heng escorted Fang Yin to the front door.
"Thank you, Elder Yu. Uh, I mean His Highness the Third Prince." Fang Yin still looked awkward and had yet to get used to Jian Heng's new call.
"Good night." Jian Heng smiled meaningfully.
'Gosh, I could have a heart attack if I kept being treated to a sweet smile and the Third Prince's handsome face.' Fang Yin hurriedly opened the door and entered into his room then closed the door again.
His leg muscles felt limp and made him stand pegged on the door. He waited for his heartbeat to stabilize so he could walk normally.
'I must refrain from falling in love at this time. My goal has not been achieved. Fang Yin, remember you must not be weak by feelings.'
In a different place, Jian Heng entered his room with a flowery heart. Tonight, he was able to sleep soundly after problem after problem was successfully overcome. However, his worries have not completely disappeared. After this, his father would definitely still bring up the matter of matchmaking.
'May father no longer discuss the matchmaking. Xiao Yin would definitely be greatly injured if he heard that. Although we haven't taken a serious step yet, I can feel if she has the same feelings as me.' The matchmaking shadow again disturbed Jian Heng's composure and made it difficult to close his eyes.
In Fang Yin's room, the,
Fang Yin took out the Seven-star Nine Dragons Book which he had just obtained. Take a quick look at it, smile, and then put it back in. Tonight was too short to learn it, he needed calmness and ample time to absorb the entire contents.
Tonight, he decided to just rest.
Morning in the Empire of the Middle Continent,
In Jian Heng's palace, there was a beautiful garden on the side. After cleaning up and wearing the clothes provided by the maid, Fang Yin took a walk there. He enjoyed the fragrance of blooming flowers and a fish pond in the middle.
While playing with the fish, a charismatic woman came to him. She was Concubine Tang who had personally come to visit her. Last night he had not had much conversation with her, so he took the initiative to come.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Fang Yin saluted Consort Tang.
"The good will always be with you." Concubine Tang smiled kindly at Fang Yin then caught up with her sitting on an ornamental rock by the pond.
"Let's go to a comfortable place, Your Majesty. Your clothes can get dirty." Fang Yin felt awkward sitting next to a royal concubine. She did not know yet that the beautiful woman was the mother of Jian Heng.
Concubine Tang knew that Fang Yin felt bad for her. However, he did not mind the place. He was used to doing outdoor activities, even the garden where they were now he designed them.
"You don't need to worry, Miss Xiao Yin. No problem a little dust stuck to my clothes. How's your sleep tonight? If it's uncomfortable, I'll ask Your Majesty to provide you with a better place to live."
Concubine Tang's gentle speech made Fang Yin dazzled. He looked so elegant and showed his royal blood.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I like where I live now. I felt very comfortable and found the night to pass so quickly."
Concubine Tang smiled hearing Fang Yin's reply which she thought was very innocent. 'It deserves my son to like you so much, ' he thought.
"What are you saying isn't because Jian Heng forced you to say that, is it?" Concubine Tang let out her joke.
Fang Yin did not answer him because he saw Jian Heng had been standing behind his mother. His index finger stuck to his nose for him to fall silent, he wished his mother had not noticed his arrival.
