Inside the yurt, Chen Yuwei didn't have as many complicated feelings as Wu Shulai.
She handed the letter she had written the day before to Hongli, and then quietly added some details about the situation.
Of course, the arrangements for the next few days also need to be discussed with Hongli.
Hongli has been unable to leave the house for the past few days. Although he can walk around in his room after the wound has been treated, the imperial physician still recommends that he rest more to ensure the wound heals properly.
Right now, Hongli is sitting on the bed, his legs covered with a thin blanket, and a soft pillow is supporting him behind him.
After reading the letter, Hongli casually folded it and put it down, saying with a relaxed expression, "Thank you for your hard work, Consort."
Chen Yuwei shook her head repeatedly, "I'm not tired."
“We must do the same for the next few days,” Hongli said, glancing down at his legs with a melancholy tone. “My legs are injured, so my return to the capital will be delayed by a few days.”
The bumpy ride was not good for the wound, especially since Hongli was concerned about his perfection.
After all, when I came to Mulan Qiumi, I had planned for a peaceful and harmonious time, but before I could finish, I injured my leg and had to postpone the arrangements.
Just imagining it from Hongli's perspective would make one furious, especially since Hongli was not a very magnanimous person to begin with.
Chen Yuwei had no objection to Hongli saying that he would be late returning to the capital.
After briefly inquiring about Hongli's leg injury, Chen Yuwei quickly left.
Consort Dun, who was waiting impatiently at the door, rushed in as soon as she saw Chen Yuwei come out.
Wu Shulai reached out to stop him but failed, and was so embarrassed that he almost buried his head in the ground.
"Eunuch Wu, go and check on the Emperor. It's so hot; the Emperor's leg injury needs extra care."
"Yes, Your Highness, this servant takes his leave."
Wu Shulai chuckled awkwardly, wiped his face, and went into the yurt looking dejected.
Chen Yuwei turned her head and said, "Let's go back."
Xia He glared at the person behind her, "Your Majesty, Consort Dun is so impolite."
A mere concubine dares to challenge a noble consort; it seems she's really gotten too cocky these days in Mulan Qiumi.
“Consort Dun is young and ambitious. With the grand conferment of titles upon the six palaces on the Mid-Autumn Festival on the fifteenth of August, Consort Dun will be able to advance further.”
Anyone would feel flattered in that situation, especially since Hongli wasn't at the Yuanmingyuan Garden when he was being conferred the title, but rather at Mulan Qiumi.
When Consort Dun becomes a concubine, Mulan Qiumi and everyone else will be witnesses.
Just imagining that scene is enough to get your blood pumping.
Changing the subject to the group of drunk people from last night, Chen Yuwei asked Xia He to go check on them, as there was an event waiting for them in the afternoon and she couldn't miss it.
