Once they arrived safely at Duanyun Pavilion, Zhao Yun finally softened her expression toward Fu Chu. The shopkeeper and the staff rushed over to serve her tea and water the moment they saw her, and even arranged a comfortable seat for her, which only made Zhao Yun feel rather out of place.
"Alright, you all don't need to make a fuss over me. I'm just here to look around, nothing major. Go on back to whatever you were doing," Zhao Yun dismissed the shopkeeper and the clerks, then turned to Fu Chu. "Husband, you don't need to keep an eye on me all day long. I'm not some fragile porcelain doll, I can take care of myself. Go on and tend to your work." Zhao Yun knew how heavy the burdens on Fu Chu's shoulders were right now. Since the Crown Prince had taken full control, Fu Chu often had to work by lamplight until the middle of the night. Whenever she woke up halfway through the night, she would find the space beside her still empty. Now he was exhausting himself trying to take care of her as well, and Zhao Yun was terrified that Fu Chu wouldn't be able to hold up under the strain.
Even an iron man couldn't be run into the ground like this.
