"Ah...but I want to go back to sleep. I don't want to sleep in the palace."
[There's no place like home, no place like a golden nest. All I want is my own bed. I'm so tired, and they won't even grant me a day off. This emperor is really trying to drain me dry. I seriously doubt I'll die from exhaustion.]
"Okay, stop thinking about it, go back to sleep first, and talk about it when you wake up."
When Ji Yingying heard that she could go back to sleep, she was happy and quickly said goodbye and left. The carriage was already waiting for her at the place where she usually waited for her.
As soon as we got on the carriage, Nanny Xia had already prepared exquisite porridge and pastries.
Ji Yingying ate two mouthfuls of porridge and fell asleep. She didn’t even realize she had reached the door of her home. It was Nanny Xia who carried her in.
When I woke up, it was dark.
She doesn't have to go to court or anything, she doesn't have a cell phone or tablet, and after a meal even a storybook can't attract her, she just falls asleep.
Nanny Xia originally wanted to come in to check on her. She was on guard tonight, and in the past she would have come in to urge her to go to bed.
The person who came in was already asleep.
"Looks like he's exhausted."
When she woke up again, she was already in the carriage. It was such a cold day, and even when Nanny Xia carried her out, she didn't feel cold at all.
"Wake up, sister, and eat something quickly." Ji Jiaming gave her a piece of cake.
"No, I haven't brushed my teeth yet."
He usually brushed his teeth and washed up, but today he seemed to have no idea and got on the carriage without finishing anything.
[Host, Granny Xia has already brushed your teeth and washed your face. Now, eat.]
No, I don't really believe it.
Anyway, she won't eat anything without washing up.
Just as she was wondering whether she should go and use the facilities to wash up, Ji Cailiang took out the toothbrush she had invented and some tooth powder for her.
"Hehe, dad is still good to me." Ji Yingying rinsed her mouth after taking it. There were two basins in the car, one filled with clean water and the other with nothing in it.
After washing up, Ji Yingying had some snacks and found some dried meat to eat.
When they arrived outside the Qinzheng Hall, Ji Yingying got off the carriage by herself. As soon as she got off the carriage, she met two women in official uniforms.
[Host, it's those two older sisters.] Ji Yingying quickly looked up.
The two men immediately bowed to Ji Yingying.
"Greetings, Master Xiaoji."
"Hehe, I have met the two adults too." Ji Yingying didn't know their names, nor did she know their official ranks, but it was certain that she had met them.
After Ji Jiaming and Ji Cailiang got off the carriage, they also bowed and called for help.
Everyone chatted politely with officialdom until they entered the hall. As soon as they entered the hall, Court Judge Liu saw Ji Yingying and hurried over, saying, "Master Ji, the Imperial Hospital has lived up to everyone's expectations and completed everything you arranged."
It was completed yesterday afternoon, and everyone in the Imperial Hospital was very excited, mainly because Ji Yingying's plan was so big that everyone was well fed.
"Ah? It's done. Then you tell the emperor. Why tell me?"
"The Emperor asked me to tell you so that you don't worry."
Uh, I'm not worried.
Judge Liu: ………This is not the same Mr. Xiao Ji who said that day. Mr. Xiao Ji who said that day said: Let us unite as one to fight the epidemic.
Those poignant words brought tears to my eyes, and I couldn't wait to finish it.
However, Zui Zhong still completed his mission.
"What about the serious ones in the palace?"
"He's out of danger, but he needs a few days to recover before he can resume his duties. Many people outside the palace have also been infected, and it's very serious. The imperial physician is out on patrol today. If anyone is found to be uncontrollable, they will be immediately isolated while a new plan is developed."
"Have there been any deaths?" It is normal to have serious infections, but I don't know if there are any deaths. This should be the early stage of the infection. After all, such a big thing, but no one has come to report it.
"No deaths have been reported so far, but we have encountered quite a few people with persistent high fever."
Ji Yingying nodded, indicating that she understood.
The conversation should have ended here, but it didn't. Judge Liu said shamelessly, "Master, why don't you take me in as your apprentice? I want to learn medical skills from you. Master, your medical skills are truly extraordinary."
In the past six months, Ji Yingying has taught him a lot of things. She taught him how to cure the prince's poison, she taught him how to give acupuncture to cure the King of Qi's infertility, and now she is the one who is taking them to treat the smallpox overnight. If it weren't for her, his head would have left the house long ago.
"I don't know medicine, but I can poison. If anyone makes me unhappy, I will poison him." After saying this, he stretched out his fist, looking quite fierce.
Judge Liu smiled quickly. Seeing her approaching, he said to Ji Cailiang behind him, "Your daughter is so cute. She will be my master from now on."
Unilaterally announced that he would become Ji Yingying's apprentice sooner or later.
Ji Cailiang was unhappy and quickly said, "My daughter doesn't recognize you."
"It doesn't matter. I will definitely let Master Xiaoji understand my sincerity."
During the morning court session, Ji Yingying started to "practice Tai Chi" again, as if it was no big deal to stand in front, and she could just go to sleep when she needed to.
The whole person was swaying, and the emperor couldn't help shaking his head. How could this little ancestor fall asleep while standing like this?
He's truly a genius!
The man who reported the matter was a new official. When he saw the emperor shaking his head, his heart was in a state of panic. If he could jump out of it, he would have done so.
Thankfully, the Emperor granted his request; otherwise, he would have been in tears.
Ji Yingying
"I'm here!" Ji Yingying, with starry eyes, immediately stepped out without even opening her eyes, which gave the emperor even more of a headache.
Some of the ministers who knew her didn't think there was anything wrong, but the new ministers who didn't know her thought she was too powerful.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"Ah, you slept well. I even had breakfast in the carriage today. It's just that the pastries made by the cook at home weren't very good. Besides, it's uncomfortable to eat pastries for breakfast every day. Actually, I wanted to have some porridge."
"Then why don't you eat it?"
"I'm afraid of peeing. When the time comes, it will be difficult to handle."
The emperor sighed.
"How is the smallpox case being treated at the Imperial Hospital?" the emperor asked again.
"You'll have to ask Imperial Physician Liu. I wasn't here yesterday, so I don't know." Sleeping all day yesterday and all night last night, life is really good.
"Then go and check again later. If everything is alright, then go to the Ministry of Works to see what's going on."
"As you command." Ji Yingying prepared to return to her standing position, but the Crown Prince spoke up, "Then let's have lunch at the East Palace today. The Crown Princess has been missing it terribly."
"Okay, okay, thank you for the invitation, Your Highness."
The court proceedings were nearly over, and the Emperor was about to adjourn when Xiangxiang said, "[Host, the official who bullied the two elder sisters yesterday hasn't come.]"
What did he do?
Only then did everyone notice that the person seemed to have really disappeared. Could it be that he had been executed by the Emperor?
The Emperor was also puzzled, as he had been busy with smallpox all day and had no time to deal with him.
He was stabbed and is currently recovering at home. He's unconscious and hasn't even been able to take time off work.
