Hearing Xiao Yangzi's voice outside the palace, she became increasingly anxious.

Qu Shaoyu tugged at Ning Qing's sleeve and shook it gently twice.

"Brother Qing, please see me out first. I'll come to see you again next time."

Ning Qing looked at his pitiful appearance and couldn't bear to refuse him.

Pointing to his cheek, he said, "Okay, kiss me and I'll give it to you, how about it?"

Qu Shaoyu quickly gave Ning Qing a heavy kiss on the cheek.

Ning Qing waved her hand in satisfaction.

Qu Shaoyu vanished from the world of the painting.

Ning Qing leaned against the balustrade, listening intently to the sounds outside.

She wanted to see which idiot had ruined her plans.

Qu Shaoyu looked at the familiar decorations in the palace and knew that he had come out of the painting.

Looking down at his disheveled robes, he couldn't help but recall the scenes from the painting, which put him in a good mood, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a few smiles!

He quickly tidied up his somewhat disheveled robes.

Xiao Yangzi's voice rang out again from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, my little darling! Please answer my call, okay?"

When Qu Shaoyu raised his eyes, a chilling glint was revealed in them.

"Come in".

Upon hearing Qu Shaoyu's voice, Xiao Yangzi immediately pushed open the door quietly and strode in.

"Your Majesty, please lie down quickly, the Regent will be here soon."

Upon hearing this, Qu Shaoyu's coldness turned into murderous intent.

Seeing that Qu Shaoyu was standing still, Xiao Yangzi was extremely anxious.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Before Qu Shaoyu could make a move, the door to the palace was pushed open again.

No, to be precise, it was kicked open.

Those long boots with black silk and gold thread were too much of an eyesore.

Qu Shaoyu clenched his fists at his sides, wishing he could chop off that foot.

But now is not the time. One day, one day we will cut off this foot.

Let's see how arrogant he can continue.

Immediately afterwards, the Regent's figure came into Qu Shaoyu's sight.

The moment Qu Shaoyu saw the Regent, his upright figure wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.

Her rosy, healthy complexion instantly turned pale, as if she were someone who had been ill for a long time.

He spoke weakly, letting out a shout.

"Uncle Liu".

The regent was a middle-aged man in his forties, with two thick, dark, slanted eyebrows.

With a hooked nose and a fierce look, he was clearly not someone to be trifled with.

A pair of sharp eyes were fixed on Qu Shaoyu.

"Your Majesty, why does your complexion look even paler than it did this morning when you went to court?"

Seeing that Qu Shaoyu's expression was gloomy.

He started speaking insincerely again.

"Those useless imperial physicians in the palace are all good-for-nothings."

"If all else fails, I will search among the common people and find some famous doctors to help you treat your illness."

Qu Shaoyu coughed weakly a few times, then waved his hand.

"I know my own body well. I'll live one day at a time."

Qu Shaoyu leaned weakly against Xiao Yangzi.

"Uncle Liu need not worry about my health. Over the years, the heavy burden of state affairs has been on your shoulders alone, and I have not been able to share any of your burdens. I feel particularly guilty."

He paused for a moment, then spoke again.

"If I were to cause you, Liu Huangshu, any more worry or trouble regarding my health, then I would be being far too insensible."

The Regent listened to Qu Shaoyu's words and stroked his few remaining whiskers with satisfaction.

"Oh, Your Majesty, what are you saying? It is my duty to share Your Majesty's burdens."
