237 Hatred and Jealousy

Jian Guozhi entered the chamber of Xue Yu-Yan who was lying on the bed in a half-conscious state. The maidservants who were applying herbal medicine on her back stopped as they saw the Prince there. 

"W-why did you stop?" Xue Yu-Yan, in a meek voice, complained.  One maidservant adjusted the clothes of Xue Yu-Yan and stood up. 

"Leave!" Jian Guozhi ordered, and the maidservants walked out of the chamber. Xue Yu-Yan, upon hearing the voice of Jian Guozhi sat up on the bed with difficulty. She had tears on her cheek. "W-why are you here?" She questioned in a fit of rage. 

Jian Guozhi walked to her and held her chin using his thumb and forefinger "I warned you not to test my patience. I told you not to trouble Ying`er yet you did not listen to me." He pulled his hand back and put it behind his back.
