Chapter 71: The Imperial Court was surrounded by the Prince of Yan’s men
Pei Yanli woke up as soon as the doctor left.
"woke up?"
Cheng Shuyi glanced at him and asked in confusion, "Why did you faint in my room? I was so scared that I thought there was a thief."
The two kids leaned against the window and saw the doctor who had just come leave.
The brother called out to Cheng Shuyi again.
Cheng Shuyi reminded Pei Yanli to clench his fists and hide his terrible nails.
"Come here—"
The two cubs got permission and ran over.
When they saw Pei Yanli lying on the bed, their first reaction was to rush over and tell him about the interesting things that happened during their two-day trip.
But Pei Yanli's pale and weak face made the two children swallow all their words.
"Dad, are you sick?"
The younger sister took off her shoes, climbed onto the bed, and stretched out a little hand to touch Pei Yanli's face.
She also used her nails to pick the dirt off his face.
Pei Yanli frowned and turned his face away slightly.
That was the place he accidentally scratched when he was in great pain.
The bloodstains dried and turned black, causing the daughter to think they were dirt.
The younger sister insisted that it was something dirty and kept picking at Pei Yanli's wound.
Pei Yanli endured the effects of the medicine alone and did not eat for a day and a night. He was now very weak and did not even have the strength to lift his hand.
The first thing he did was call out Cheng Shuyi's name, asking her to take her daughter away: "Shuyi——"
Because he was investigating her inheritance, Cheng Shuyi didn't want to pay any attention to Pei Yanli.
I want him to rest and recover his strength before leaving.
But when she saw that her daughter had scratched his face, she had to go over and pick her up.
Before Pei Yanli's face started bleeding, he quickly sent the two children away: "Alright, go back and do your homework and go to sleep. You have to go to the academy tomorrow."
Cheng Shuyi carried the children back to the next room, one in each hand.
Add ice to their rooms and supervise them while they do their homework.
She didn't go to see Pei Yanli until the two children went to bed.
A winding trail of blood flowed down Pei Yanli's face. He didn't wipe it off, but just lay there with his eyes closed.
He opened his eyes again when he heard Cheng Shuyi's footsteps.
He is too weak.
The man who was usually so high-spirited and awe-inspiring was now lying on the bed as weak as a ball of cotton, at the mercy of others.
It's still dirty and a bit pitiful.
"You can feel what it's like to have a little cotton jacket leaking air."
Cheng Shuyi didn't forget to tease him, "Wait, I'll go out and get you a basin of water."
His clothes are dirty, just take them off.
The most difficult thing to deal with are his ten fingers.
None of Pei Yanli's ten fingers were spared, all of them had their nails scratched and bleeding holes.
The sawdust from the floor dug into his nails and flesh, mixing with dried blood.
Cheng Shuyi was frowning the whole time when he was dealing with him.
"The doctor said you took the wrong medicine. What's wrong with you? You've ruined yourself like this."
Cheng Shuyi used tweezers to remove the wood chip for him. The wood chip was the size of an embroidery needle and was stuck in his nail.
You can clearly see it stuck in the nail.
Cheng Shuyi's face twisted into a ball. He took a deep breath before daring to pull it out for him. When he pulled it out, he let out a gasp.
She felt pain just looking at it.
But the person on the bed didn't say a word, just occasionally retracting his fingers.
Pei Yanli corrected her: "This prince was drugged."
After Cheng Shuyi finished treating each of his fingers, he would disinfect and apply medicine, and then move on to the next one.
"What kind of medicine is this? You can get over it on your own? Didn't the person who gave you the medicine want to poison you to death?"
"...You seem to really hope that I will be poisoned to death."
He's like this now, can't she say something nice?
He is always so prickly.
Cheng Shuyi was silent.
Pei Yanli continued, "This prince was drugged."
He went to discuss the divorce with Sheng Tinglan, and Sheng Tinglan went to Zhao to cry.
The medicine was prescribed by Zhao.
Love potion?
Cheng Shuyi became interested, and she didn't even realize how sour her next words were.
"Your Highness has quite a few romantic interests around him, but why do you always have to drug him? That's too weak..."
She didn't finish her words, but her meaning was clear.
Pei Yanli was not angry when being ridiculed. Just looking at his current appearance, he couldn't be angry.
He just stared at her and smiled, "Whether this king is false or not, you are the only one in the world who knows, Shuyi."
Cheng Shuyi paused and looked up at him.
She understood what he meant.
I just can't figure out why?
After a while, Cheng Shuyi seemed to have removed all the thorns from her body, and her attitude towards him subtly changed.
"You really aren't afraid of being accused of having no descendants."
She still remembered the rumors about Pei Yanli among the people when she first came to ancient times.
They say he has no descendants.
This is nothing in modern times, but in ancient times, it was quite serious and embarrassing.
The people in the Regent's Palace must have been gossiped about a lot because of this rumor, right?
Pei Yanli said nothing more.
He stared at Cheng Shuyi who was concentrating on treating his wounds, and his heart was as soft as the fingertips she was holding.
It took most of the night to process all ten fingers.
After Cheng Shuyi made sure that there was no sawdust left in his nails, he wrapped gauze around his fingers.
Because of the finger injury, I'm afraid I won't be able to touch water, hold a sword, or pick up a pen for a while.
If Pei Yanli was injured, he could stay at Cheng's house openly and let Cheng Shuyi take care of him.
Cheng Shuyi sent him away, but he said he had nowhere to go.
The incident of the branch of the Regent's Palace caused such a big stir that everyone in the family had complaints against him.
Cheng’s house is still quiet.
-
But this quietness will not last for many days.
Mo Xiao received a letter that the northern border, which had been in a state of check and balance, was suddenly invaded by the enemy.
Mo Xiao was caught off guard and lost three games in a row.
On the day the news reached Shengjing City, something happened in the Imperial Examination Hall!
Cheng Shuyi was just about to make dinner when a dark shadow jumped down from the roof of her house and knelt in front of Pei Yanli, who was helping to pick beans.
Pei Yanli's nails were injured, but he could still break the beans with the palm of his hand.
He insisted on helping, and Cheng Shuyi couldn't stop him.
"Your Highness, the Imperial Examination Hall has been surrounded by Prince Yan's men. The Emperor has summoned you to the palace to protect him!"
"What!"
Pei Yanli stood up in shock, his face ashen.
He quickly sorted out the whole thing, and combined with the carrier pigeon letter he received from Mo Xiao this morning, he roughly guessed what had happened!
The Emperor had long known that Prince Yan had secretly hoarded grain.
The palace had been fully prepared and was like an iron barrel. Anyone who entered the palace would surely die.
Prince Yan was probably aware of this, so he did not choose the palace.
But choose Gongyuan!
The Imperial Examination Hall was still underway at this time, and all the students of Dasheng were inside.
There are also hundreds of examiners, both big and small.
Prince Yan is threatening the Imperial Examination Hall to force the emperor to come out of the palace!
"The Imperial Examination Hall was surrounded by the Prince of Yan? The Prince of Yan??"
Cheng Shuyi opened his eyes wide.
She couldn't believe what she saw and heard.
Imperial Examination Hall?
King of Yan?
No way!
She just traveled through time and space casually, and encountered such a situation as forcing the emperor to abdicate!
What a commotion!
