Chapter 16: Fainted in the Hot Spring
Lu An has been busy making pastries for Pei Yan these past two days, and his head has ached from all the work.
His mood could only be relieved when he went back to stroke Xuanying. Fortunately, Xuanying was fine after taking medicine for a few days, but Lu An was also controlling his diet.
Xuanying protested loudly, but it was useless because this was also an order from Pei Yan. "Ahahahaha, there's nothing I can do about it, little Xuanying."
Today, Lu An came to the small kitchen as usual, and prepared to make some brown sugar cake. This was mainly because it was simple. Yes, it was simple. In order to make different snacks for Pei Yan every day, Lu An felt that his brain was empty.
Lu An prepared glutinous rice flour in advance, then stirred it with warm water, rolled it into long strips, fried it in a pan, and finally poured melted brown sugar on top and it was done.
Lu An also prepared a small cup of milk tea, fearing that Pei Yan would not be used to it and feel sick of it.
After it is done, Lu An must bring it to Pei Yan immediately, otherwise the brown sugar cake will not taste good after it gets cold and will become hard.
Not long after he went out, he met Eunuch Zhang who was beside the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother heard that the Emperor had recently been doting on a young eunuch by his side. It's not that she hadn't thought about the possibility that the emperor had a romantic relationship before. After all, the emperor never mentioned a word about taking a concubine, and none of the women she had arranged for over the years had been able to get close to the emperor.
Eunuch Zhang came to see if the young eunuch was really favored. Eunuch Zhang took a look and found that he looked good, with fair and tender skin, especially his eyes, which looked like a pool of spring water when he looked at people, very clear, and he looked smart.
Eunuch Zhang: "You know what a servant in this palace hates most is to follow the wrong person. If you fantasize about turning into a phoenix, you may end up with a human head falling off the ground if you are not careful."
"I think you are smart, so I came to give you a reminder."
Lu An lowered his head and thought: Why hasn't he finished speaking yet? My brown sugar cake will get cold soon.
Seeing that Lu An was not interested, Eunuch Zhang said, "You don't know what's good for you," and walked away with a snort.
Lu An hurriedly took the basket and went to Minguang Hall. After putting the things on the table, Lu An stepped back and thought carefully about what Eunuch Zhang said.
[What on earth did Eunuch Zhang want to do by stopping me today?]
[Do you want me to harm the emperor?] 】
How did I end up on the branch? How could it be possible for me to fly onto the tree branch like this? 】
Pei Yan ate Lu An's snacks and listened to him mumbling in his mind, thinking: How stupid.
When Lu An took his small basket back to the side hall, Pei Yan asked someone to call Mo Yuan.
As Lu An walked back to the side hall, he was still thinking: It's really too hot now, it's already scorching hot. Xuan Ying is wheezing and sticking out his tongue every day due to the heat, and he lies in front of the ice basin motionless every day.
Lu An went to the small kitchen every day and was sweating profusely. Today, Lu An returned to the side hall and dragged Xuan Ying to take a hot spring bath. As long as they could resolve the battle quickly, they would not meet Pei Yan.
The man and the dog sneaked to the hot spring. After Lu An finished bathing Xuanying, he lay down in it, sighed in comfort and forgot the time.
When Pei Yan finished discussing things with Mo Yuan and came here to take a bath, he saw Xuan Ying biting Lu An's clothes and trying to drag him to the shore.
Pei Yan walked over quickly after seeing Lu An fainted in the water, and quickly picked him up and walked to the side hall. Eunuch De saw the emperor carrying someone out, and before he could see clearly, he heard the emperor say, "Go call the imperial physician."
Eunuch De did not dare to delay for a moment and rushed to the Imperial Hospital.
After the imperial physician arrived at the side hall, he felt Lu An's pulse, looked at his pupils, and told the emperor, "Lu An is fine, he just fainted after soaking in the hot spring for too long."
Pei Yan felt relieved after hearing this.
Lu An woke up after a while. He opened his eyes and found that he had returned to the side hall. He only remembered that he felt chest tightness and dizziness while bathing. When he woke up, he felt numbness in his hands and feet and couldn't stand up, and then he fainted.
Pei Yan saw that Lu An had been in a daze since he woke up, and he didn't hear his inner voice. Pei Yan said, "Awake?"
Lu An was so frightened when he heard Pei Yan's voice that he quickly got down to the ground and was about to kneel, but his legs went weak and he fell forward. Pei Yan saw this and quickly caught him.
The final result was that Lu An lay on Pei Yan's legs. Lu An was stunned, silent and embarrassed.
[Ahhhhhhhhh, this is so embarrassing]
[Let me die in the hot spring]
Lu An gave up on himself and lay on Pei Yan's legs without moving.
[I’m tired, kill me]
Pei Yan looked at Lu An lying motionless on his lap, his ears flushed red, and said with a smile: "Okay, no one knows except me, and no one dares to laugh at you."
[Dog Emperor, don't think I didn't hear you laughing at me]
[No, is Pei Yan comforting me? 】
Lu An got down from Pei Yan's legs and looked at Pei Yan secretly, only to see Pei Yan looking at him with a smile in his eyes.
[No, why is Pei Yan looking at me so gently?]
Lu An was shocked.
[This development is not right. If I were a woman, it might be right.]
[But I am a eunuch!] 】
Pei Yan didn't care what Lu An was thinking because it was too confusing and he couldn't hear one sentence after another.
Pei Yan only said one sentence before leaving: "Pack up and accompany me out of the palace tomorrow."
As expected, Pei Yan heard Lu An's sharp voice after he said this.
[Ahhhhh, what did Pei Yan say? What did Pei Yan just say?]
[“Leaving the palace” is not about going to the toilet but leaving the palace]
[Ahahahaha, that’s great]
[Mom, I can finally go out, can I just run away?]
Of course Pei Yan heard this, but he didn't think that Lu An could escape with his ability.
