Feng Shiwu straightened out his thoughts, which had been misdirected by Wanyue. "Master, this medicine was prescribed by the imperial physician. It will be good for the healing of your hand. Drink it quickly."
Seeing that her trickery failed, Wanyue started to argue, "I don't want to drink it. The medicine is too bitter and hard to drink."
Feng Shiwu's eyes understood. He reached into his sleeve and pulled out some candied fruits. He handed them to Wanyue along with the medicine bowl. "Master, after you finish the medicine, eat some candied fruits. The bitter taste will soon subside."
Nonsense, it still tastes bitter when you drink it.
She has tried several ways of drinking it, but it's still just as bitter.
For her who loves sweets, this is simply torture... No, it's a punishment!
Cruel execution!
Woo woo woo——
Wanyue shrank back again, refusing to take the medicine bowl and drink it.
Feng Shiwu gritted his teeth, his expression became serious, and his tone of voice became heavier, "Master, if you don't take the medicine today, I won't buy you any food from Huayu Tower tomorrow."
Wanyue shuddered.
"Not only will I not buy you any food from Huayulou, I will also tell Xiuhe about your hiding of the gold hairpin."
Now, Wanyue began to tremble all over.
The little guard turned bad and started threatening her!
Wanyue sniffed, reached out her hand tremblingly, took the medicine bowl, tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp, looking determined.
After drinking the medicine, Wanyue stuffed the medicine bowl into Feng Shiwu's hand, quickly grabbed a few candied fruits from Feng Shiwu's other hand and threw them into her mouth.
From drinking the medicine to grabbing the candied fruit and putting it into his mouth, the whole series of actions took no more than a minute, which was extremely fast.
After chewing the candied fruit for a few times, Wanyue's wrinkled face gradually relaxed.
Feng Shiwu put away the medicine bowl and prepared to leave when Wanyue hurriedly called out, "Shiwu, will you still buy me food from Huayu Tower tomorrow?"
Feng Shiwu held the empty bowl and nodded gently, "Master, remember to tell me in advance what you want to eat tomorrow."
Wanyue's eyes began to light up. "What about me hiding the gold hairpin? Will you tell Xiuhe?"
"I am the master's guard. Everything is subject to the master's orders. Fifteen will never do anything that the master has not ordered."
After saying that, Feng Shiwu walked away.
Now, her stomach and head were safe, and Wanyue was so happy that she wanted to roll around on the couch to celebrate.
Sure enough, her little guard still sided with him!
…
"Princess, something bad has happened! Something's happened to the prince and the others!"
Wanyue looked up while holding the half-eaten pig's trotter and blinked.
Xiu He ran over, her eyes red, "Princess, the prince and his men were captured by bandits!"
Wanyue threw the pig's trotters into the plate and reached out to Feng Shiwu to wipe her hands.
"What's going on? Take your time, don't be impatient."
Listening to Wanyue's calm voice, Xiuhe gradually calmed down.
After calming down, Xiuhe began to recount what had just happened. "It was Guard Li from the palace. He said that His Majesty had sent him here. He said that the prince and his men were kidnapped by bandits outside Kyoto while investigating a case."
Investigate a case?
Bandits on the outskirts of Kyoto?
"Are they the bandits who killed the Third Prince?"
Xiuhe nodded with red eyes. When Guard Li told her just now, she was frightened.
Feng Shiwu took a handkerchief and helped Wanyue wipe her hands clean. Wanyue took her hands back and stood up.
"Where's Guard Li?"
"In the main hall."
Wanyue walked over to Xiuhe and patted her shoulder, "Let's go to the main hall."
Xiuhe stared at Wanyue in a daze. The princess was so calm. She could remain so calm even after hearing that something had happened to the prince and the others. Compared to the princess, she was really much weaker.
Xiuhe shook her head, wiped the tears from her face, and followed Wanyue in front of her.
The saddest person right now must be the princess. The princess hasn't even lost her composure yet, so she can't cause any more trouble for her.
In the main hall, a middle-aged man in armor stood inside. The man looked very serious and had a calm aura.
Wanyue walked in, and Guard Li came over and saluted, "Sixth Princess."
Wanyue looked at the man in front of her and nodded in her heart. The royal guard was indeed worthy of his reputation.
Guard Li was also looking at Wanyue. In his opinion, the Sixth Princess was only twenty years old and still a little girl. When she heard the news that her father and husband were in danger, she was already in a state of panic. She might have even wiped away tears before coming.
But when Guard Li inadvertently met Wanyue's eyes, he immediately overturned his previous thoughts in his mind.
There was no panic in the little girl's eyes. She looked calmer than him. She didn't look confused at all, and she didn't even look worried at all.
Either he really wasn't worried about the situation of Prince Ming and Prince Six, but that was simply impossible. One of them was his father, and the other was his husband. How could he not be worried?
Then there is only the second possibility left, that this little girl is mentally strong and can face what happened calmly.
Guard Li admired her in his heart. He never thought that a little girl who was only twenty years old could have such a kind of character. It was really rare and precious.
Wanyue was wearing a light blue long dress and standing upright, looking very gentle and well-behaved.
"Guard Li, what exactly happened with my father and the others? Can you tell me in detail?"
Guard Li nodded and began to recount what had happened. "Prince Ming, Prince Six, and Concubine Mu were investigating the murder of Prince Three. After several days of investigation, they saw no progress. So Prince Ming came up with a plan to infiltrate the bandits' lair and investigate the mastermind behind the murder."
So... they brought it to us on their own initiative?
Guard Li understood the meaning in Wanyue's eyes and nodded slowly. "Yes, Prince Ming and his two companions disguised themselves as passing officials and were captured by bandits and taken to their lair. Prince Ming and I had been exchanging messages for the past few days, but we suddenly lost contact yesterday. That's why I suspected Prince Ming and his companions might be in danger."
Wanyue pulled out a fan from somewhere and waved it in her hand. "What does Guard Li plan to do next?"
Prince Ming and his men are in the bandits' lair and have lost contact with them. The situation is unknown.
Guard Li was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly, "Your Majesty wants us to wait a few more days. Prince Ming and his men have simply lost contact with us, and we're not sure if their identities have been exposed. If we act rashly, we might alert the enemy, so..."
Wanyue interrupted Guard Li and paused fanning herself. "So, you plan to hold your troops in place?"
Guard Li didn't get angry at being interrupted. He continued Wanyue's words, "Yes, that's also what Your Majesty meant."
"What if Father and the others have already revealed their identities?"
Wanyue blinked, but her appearance remained obedient, and it was impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry.
