The physician who was carrying a medical box on his back looked like he was scared by Jing Yue’s action. His mind went blank for a moment before he promptly paid his respect, “This lowly commoner meets Ninth Huang Fei.”
“Aiya, don’t kneel, come here quickly.” Jing Yue rolled her eyes in helplessness, beckoning the physician to come towards her. She pointed at the clothes she had put on the table and said, “Take a look whether or not there is something wrong with it.”
“A?” The physician was dumbfounded. He’d like to cry but he had no tears. He looked at Jing Yue and said, “Ninth Huang Fei, this lowly commoner is a physician, not a tailor. This dress…… This lowly commoner really couldn’t see what is wrong with this dress.”
“What are you talking about? I’m telling you to see if there is something in this clothes! For example, a powdered drug ah, incense ah, or whatever, the kind that could make people lose strength in their body.” Jing Yue patted her forehead and pointed at that clothes, speaking to that physician.
“E……” Hearing Jing Yue’s words, that physician went blank for a moment before he immediately started to check the clothes, ‘So it isn’t to see a patient ah……’
“How is it? Have you found anything?” Jing Yue blinked while staring at the physician with a face full of expectation.
“Except finding mud and sweats, this lowly commoner doesn’t found anything else……” The physician said in a deadpanned manner to Jing Yue.
Jing Yue’s face went black. She glared at that physician and said, “You just found sweat and mud? I can see them, I’m not blind! Just quickly go away, quickly go away!”
Jing Yue fumingly rushed the physician away. She glared at that clothes with a face full of doubt, ‘Could she be overthinking? Perhaps she thought wrong?’ Jing Yue frowned. She racked her brain for a moment and then decided to ask Xiao Chen.
“Xiao Chen?” Jing Yue excitedly wanted to run searching for Xiao Chen, however, she was stopped by Yin Qiao who said that Xiao Chen wasn’t in the fu.
“Ninth Huang Shu went out of the city for work, he hasn’t come back yet.” Yin Qiao bowed towards Jing Yue and spoke.
“…… Alright, tell me if he’s back.” Jing Yue sighed helplessly and went back into the room. She waited for a long time but still didn’t see Xiao Chen come back, even Xing Yi’s and Xing Er’s traces couldn’t be seen. She waited and waited until evening finally came. Jing Yue couldn’t help but yawn. She could no longer bear and finally fell asleep.

Jing Yue was sleeping comfortably. In her half-awake state, she suddenly felt that there was a pair of hands taking her clothes off. Although the movement was very gentle, Jing Yue could still somewhat feel it. She frowned, half wanting to continue sleeping, half wanting to wake up. For a time she even thought that she
was dreaming.
However, when Jing Yue felt a thread of cold air on her skin, she trembled for a moment and opened her eyes. She looked down, only to see her clothing had been taken off leaving only a dudou. Suddenly, Jing Yue started to scream in fright, “Aaaaah……!”
“Shut up!” a cold shout was heard. Jing Yue covered her mouth with her hands, staring in fright at Xiao Chen who had an angry look on his whole face. She was speechless for quite a while.
“You…… You…… Why are you being so hungry, so thirsty like this? I am only fourteen years old!” Jing Yue said, firmly hugging herself, staring at Xiao Chen with a face full of accusation.
“What kind of dirty things your head is loaded with?” Xiao Chen’s face went black. He stared coldly at Jing Yue and said, “Today, you were attacked? Let me see whether or not you have injuries.”
Jing Yue was a bit dumbfounded. She blinked her eyes staring at Xiao Chen and asked, “E…… You took my clothes off to see whether or not I have injuries?”
“En.” Xiao Chen indifferently answered with a word before lowering his gaze, saying, “I’ve just learnt about it after I came back, sorry.” Xiao Chen spoke with a slightly sluggish breath while leaning over to stare at Jing Yue. The self-blame as well as regret in his eyes made Jing Yue’s heart tremble. She pursed her lips and hung her head down, she didn’t dare to look at Xiao Chen face to face.

This lowly commoner (草民/ Cǎomín): used by commoners to address themselves when towards higher ranking people. I haven’t explained this but in previous chapters, when the Empress and Imperial Consorts talk to everyone except the Emperor, they used ‘本宮/ běngōng’ but it was rather awkward for me to wrote the ‘I of the palace’ every time they spoke, so I just wrote ‘I’. When they talked to the Emperor, they used ‘臣妾/ chénqiè’ to address themselves. You can check here for more detailed and complete list of Chinese honorifics.
