In the evening, the sun sets in the west and it becomes dark.

Chu Qi had just taken a shower and was sitting in the room drying her hair when she heard the little treasure wailing from the side hall next door.

Occasionally there were faint sobs.

In fact, she was trying hard to suppress the sound, but her hearing had always been extraordinary, and after practicing martial arts for some time, her five senses became more and more sensitive. Plus, the distance was so close, it was hard not to hear it.

She frowned.

Yesterday, because she was worried about Shi Qian, Chu Qi was not in the mood to deepen the hypnosis on Eunuch An and eliminate his desire to find someone to have fun with. It seems that the situation has recurred tonight.

After listening for a while, Chu Qi was really exhausted, and hurriedly used his inner strength and a towel to dry his hair. Then he dressed neatly and went to the side hall to check the situation.

I saw Xiao Baozi kneeling on the ground, with Eunuch An standing behind him. The latter was holding a rope as thick as a finger and whipping Xiao Baozi's bruised back again and again.

In fact, Chu Qi had already suppressed Eunuch An's addiction before, but it was not very effective. Every once in a while, other eunuchs had to be asked to give Eunuch An some relief.

Xiao Baozi saw Xiao Wuzi standing at the door out of the corner of his eye. He bit his lips in embarrassment and his back tensed.

"Eunuch An." Chu Qi called softly.

Eunuch An turned around when he heard the voice and his eyes met Chu Qi's.

Chu Qi said: "Do you still have some official business to deal with?"

Eunuch An nodded blankly: "Yes."

The next moment, he got dressed, went out in the night, and went directly to his office.

Xiao Baozi looked up blankly, but saw Xiao Wuzi with a calm expression. He came over, picked up the clothes on the ground, and gently put them on him.

Chu Qi said, "It's getting late and the dew is heavy. Brother Bao, put on some clothes and don't catch a cold."

The little treasure still had his eyes open in a daze, looking up at the person in front of him. He just stood there quietly, with his drooped brows and calm features, but he carried a soothing power in him.

Xiao Baozi's shame was relieved suddenly. He was shivering with cold, and his trembling fingertips tightly grasped the clothes hanging on his body. He shivered, slowly put on his clothes, and said in a low voice:

"Fifth brother, you are not an ordinary person, right?"

He finally asked the question that had puzzled him for many days.

Maybe he didn't realize it at first, but later, after various clues, Xiao Baozi finally realized that the relationship between Xiao Wuzi, his fifth brother, and Eunuch An might not be what he thought.

It seems... Xiao Wuzi is superior to Eunuch An.

After what happened just now, the speculation about this matter has been verified more clearly.

Chu Qi was startled when she suddenly heard the words "not an ordinary person". She subconsciously thought that Xiao Baozi had such good eyesight that he could see through her clothes that she was not a eunuch.

After coming back to her senses, she realized what Xiao Baozi meant. She nodded in a serious tone:

"Don't tell anyone else about this."

...On the surface, Eunuch An is the same as before, but in fact, no one would believe what Xiao Baozi said, so it's not a big problem.

Xiao Baozi nodded heavily and said, "I will definitely not tell anyone else."

"Go back." Chu Qi nodded, turned and left.

Xiao Baozi stared at her back blankly and swore secretly in his heart that he would treat Xiao Wuzi, oh no, it’s the fifth brother, with all his heart in the future just like he treated Eunuch An!

Although Xiao Wuzi didn't let him call him brother Wu, in Xiao Baozi's heart, he was already Xiao Baozi's older brother.

There were no people on duty in the Imperial Pharmacy at night. Only the Imperial Medical Bureau and the imperial physicians were on duty every twelve hours in shifts. This was for the Emperor and the concubines in the palace. If anyone had any problems, the imperial physicians would be there to treat them in time.

In the imperial pharmacy, there were only a few pharmacists who took turns on duty at night.

Chu Qi had been in a hurry to get medicine during the day and only got medicine for treating fever. Now that she had plenty of time, she went back to the imperial pharmacy and bought some medicine to relax the muscles and bones, and gave it to Shi to relieve her fatigue caused by illness.

Before leaving, she thought of Miss Hongxing whose eyes were as red and swollen as a rabbit, so she grabbed some ointment to treat her swollen eyes and went straight to Chuxiu Palace.

Hong Xing put away the green grapes and cakes left over from the day and lit the kerosene lamp.

Shi Qian slept more during the day, so she was not sleepy at night. She took medicine twice, and her fever dropped a lot, and her red cheeks turned back to normal color, but she was still sick and had no strength.

She sat leaning on the soft couch in front of the window. The night breeze blew by, bringing a slight coolness. She glanced at the little maid who was busy collecting the charcoal ashes, secretly opened the window a little wider, and leaned half of her body out to see what was going on outside.

It was too dark at night and she couldn't see anything clearly. Fortunately, there was moonlight and she could just barely see the slightly reflective road surface. She was secretly expecting something in her heart, and her sickly eyes and brows were filled with a lively look.

Hong Xing was busy halfway when she looked up and found that her mistress was openly blowing the wind. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and said angrily:

"My young master!"

"Ah?" Shi Qian looked back guiltily.

Hong Xing was so angry that she lost her temper: "You are not well yet, you can't be exposed to the wind. If you are hot, just cover yourself with less quilt and bear with it."

"No, I don't want to blow the wind." Shi Qian shrank back and obediently covered herself with the golden silk quilt: "I... I just wanted to see if Xiao Wuzi would come over."

Hong Xing was stunned for a while, then said in a muffled voice, "He's coming, what are you going to do?"

Shi Qian lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake and said, "I'm fine."

Knowing that I can't give Xiao Wuzi hope is one thing, but wanting to see him is another.

Her initial feelings began to arise, and she unconsciously began to worry about her lover.

How could she possibly control her heart and stop missing him?
