Song Sanniang was an inconspicuous demon cultivator in the cultivation world. Although weak? Pitiful? Unloved? She still lived a carefree life.
One day, she didn't know what crazy fit her...
Song Sanniang saw what 108 was thinking at a glance. A smile flashed across her lips, and then quickly disappeared, as if it was just an illusion.
In the picture, Emperor Xuan has woken up and is talking to a kneeling imperial physician.
When the imperial physician looked up, Song Sanniang felt like she had discovered a new world. The imperial physician had facial features similar to Cui Jiu from Prince Rui's Mansion. It was obvious that they were father and son.
"How is my health, Imperial Physician Cui?"
"Everything is under control, just as you planned."
Emperor Xuan looked at the curtain above with a vague look in his eyes, and the hall became quiet again.
Then he seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Cui Yongan: "How is Liu Zeshui?"
In Emperor Xuan's memory, Liu Zeshui was smooth and worldly-wise. No matter before or after following him, he had never suffered much because of his smart mind.
This time he actually stood in front of him and was hit by an arrow. Although it was unexpected, to be honest, it would be a lie to say that he was not touched.
"Eunuch Liu may appear to be seriously injured, but the arrow didn't actually hit his internal organs. Plus, his bloated body has acted as a buffer, so his life isn't in danger. He'll just have to endure some pain."
The corners of Emperor Xuan's mouth twitched when he heard this, but after hearing what Cui Yongan said, Emperor Xuan felt that his mood was much better than before.
"Give him whatever he needs."
Seeing that Imperial Physician Cui nodded in agreement, Emperor Xuan stopped talking.
Suddenly, there were voices of many people talking outside.
Emperor Xuan listened to the noise outside and said in a calm voice, "Imperial Physician Cui, you should go out."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Cui Yongan bowed respectfully and left the hall.
As soon as he came out, he was talking to the guards outside the palace when several princes immediately surrounded him.
When Dongfang Rui saw Imperial Physician Cui coming out of his father's hall, he immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously.
"Imperial Physician Cui, how is Father doing?"
Cui Yongan quickly put away the heavy expression on his face and saluted the princes.
"I have already cleaned the wound and applied medicine to your majesty. You only need to rest for a while." Cui Yongan hesitated a little after saying this. "Eunuch Liu blocked your majesty for a moment. Your majesty asked me to go and see him before he rested."
After hearing what the imperial physician said, Dongfang Rui felt relieved that Emperor Xuan was probably only slightly injured.
Except for Dongfang Rui, the expressions on the other three people's faces were much more complicated.
Cui Yongan took in the expressions of several people, then lowered his head.
"Then..."
They had already learned from him what they wanted to know most, and as for more detailed information, it was impossible for them to ask in front of the other brothers now.
So when Dongfang Rui nodded and asked the imperial physician to leave, they did not speak out to stop him.
Dongfang Rui looked at the tightly closed palace door, his eyes filled with worry.
Dongfang Wen, who was standing at the back, wished he could go in and see what was going on. All the people he sent to assassinate Emperor Xuan were dead, and he had no idea of the emperor's true injuries.
Dongfang Wen frowned and thought about what to do next.
The four of them waited outside the door for two hours. As it grew darker, it was still quiet inside, and they knew that Emperor Xuan would probably not see them today.
Now the guards are still guarding the door strictly, and they can't get in. It's impossible for them to go in and show their filial piety.
Moreover, judging from the tone of the imperial physician, the emperor's injuries should not be serious. The few of them felt relieved and finally decided to return home to rest and come back to guard him tomorrow.
Soon, peace returned to the gate of Weiyang Palace...
Dongfang Rui felt a little more relaxed after entering the Prince Rui's Mansion. He walked towards the main courtyard at the back without stopping. He wanted to see his princess right away.
The two little guys might have met a lot of people today, so they were very noisy and running around everywhere, and they didn't go to bed even when it was time.
The wet nurse and Qingzhu really couldn't do anything about them, so Qingzhu came to ask her to come over.
As soon as Song Sanniang arrived, the two little guys finally calmed down. After spending some time coaxing them to sleep, Song Sanniang returned to the yard.
As soon as Song Sanniang entered the door, she was hugged tightly. Her eyes went dark and she suddenly smelled a familiar scent, which was Dongfang Rui's.
Song Sanniang could sense that Dongfang Rui was in a bad mood. She didn't say anything, but just hugged him quietly, comforting him silently.
Soon, Dongfang Rui's low voice came from above Song Sanniang.
"Father was injured after leaving Prince Rui's Palace. He didn't even let me in to see how badly he was hurt..."
Dongfang Rui kept talking, his words full of grievance.
Song Sanniang raised her head and put Dongfang Rui's head in her arms. She secretly felt regretful that she would be taller.
Dongfang Rui not only did not object to Song Sanniang holding him like she was coaxing a child, he also adjusted his posture to make himself more comfortable.
What he didn't say was that on the way back to the main courtyard, he found that the servants he met still looked panicked, but everything was still in order. His princess had arranged it very well. This was the home of him, the princess, and Xiaoyi and Xiaoer.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Rui's inner dependence was also reflected on his face.
The puppy's sudden fragility actually aroused Song Sanniang's rare maternal love.
"It's not your fault..."
Song Sanniang said as she stroked Dongfang Rui's fur.
108 couldn't bear to watch this scene. In its eyes, Song Sanniang suddenly exuded the radiance of motherhood.
108: The host treats the male protagonist as his son?
Song Sanniang knew that the capital was about to fall into chaos, or that it had already begun, and that Dongfang Rui would have to fight a tough battle after that.
So when Dongfang Rui felt better, she pushed him directly onto the bed.
"Promise me not to think too much. This is our time alone."
Dongfang Rui blushed and he pulled at his underwear shyly.
"San, Sanniang, it's not good for us to do this..."
Song Sanniang pressed the head into her arms and fell asleep in an instant.
Dongfang Rui didn't know why, his mind was full of all kinds of chaotic and noisy thoughts, but he could hear the regular heartbeat in his ears.
My mood gradually calmed down and sleepiness soon came over me.
After the person in her arms calmed down, Song Sanniang's eyelids moved slightly, and soon returned to silence.
The next morning at the hour of Mao, Dongfang Rui woke up, washed up simply, and set off for the palace.
Song Sanniang also got up early. Seeing that he was about to leave without eating anything, she forced him to eat a few bites.
After all, all his attention was on Emperor Xuan yesterday. He didn't eat in the palace, and he didn't eat when he came back either.
She had spent several rejuvenation pills on Dongfang Rui, and she didn't want him to waste him like this.
After Dongfang Rui finished eating obediently, Song Sanniang sent him to the carriage.
Song Sanniang turned around and went back to the yard. Because Emperor Xuan was attacked, everyone in the palace was inevitably affected and the mood was tense. It was not appropriate for her to act too indifferent now.
Oh, it’s so boring. In that case, let’s go find two kids to play with.
