Chapter 44 I don’t need anyone else
"Hey... Lord Qingfeng, why don't you give this box of lotus root starch and cinnamon sugar cake to the young prince?" Doctor Wang said generously, but in his heart he was a little reluctant. He knew that Lord Qingfeng had come back this time, obviously for this sugar cake.
"But this is a reward from the Queen. Would Doctor Wang be willing to give it to the young prince?" Qingfeng asked politely.
"Oh, of course I'm willing to do so, of course I'm willing to do so! As long as the little prince can get better soon, I'm sure the queen will be happy to know about it." Doctor Wang readily agreed.
"Well, thank you, Doctor Wang. I'll just get a few for the young prince." Qingfeng was reasonable enough to leave a few pieces of sugar cake for Doctor Wang. While Doctor Wang went to get the oil paper to wrap the sugar cake, Qingfeng glanced at the small porcelain bottle on the cabinet—it was the Lingxiao ointment that Xiao Yuezi had just retrieved for the Third Prince. He also understood the purpose of the Lingxiao ointment.
Qingfeng thought for a moment, then quietly reached out and took a porcelain bottle and put it in his arms. Then, he waited quietly for Doctor Wang to bring a few sugar cakes wrapped in oil paper, and then he said goodbye and left.
Qingfeng coaxed the young prince into drinking the bitter medicine with the lotus root starch and cinnamon sugar cake he had begged from Doctor Wang, and then handed the small porcelain bottle he had stolen to Qingyi. In his opinion, all this was for the sake of his master.
However, Qingfeng didn't know that after he left, Doctor Wang discovered that one of the small porcelain bottles was missing and kept scolding Xiao Yuezi: "That damn slave really stole my Lingxiao ointment! What does a eunuch need this for?"
"Qingfeng, is this thing useful?" Qingyi asked a little embarrassedly.
"Yeah." Qingfeng's cold face was like Qingyi's, dark with a hint of red.
"How do you know?" Qing Yi asked.
"That's what Doctor Wang said." Qingfeng said.
"..." Qing Yi wondered if Qingfeng also liked his master! Why would he ask the imperial physician for something like this? But that didn't seem likely. Qingfeng was very sensible in what he did, so why would he even think of this?
"Don't think too much about it, it's just... I just happened to come across it, so I just did it..." Qingfeng saw Qingyi's doubts and explained.
"Oh, I understand. Could it be... stolen?" Qingyi smiled and added to the last words that Qingfeng was hesitant to say.
"Hahaha, Qingfeng, you are such a good person! I will definitely repay your kindness and help you find a beautiful wife!" Qingyi laughed.
"..." Qingfeng was speechless.
The two of them chirped for a while, and then the eunuch came to report that the young prince had woken up and was looking for them.
"Yeah." Ye Qingyu half-leaned on the bed, holding a scroll that looked like a book but was not a book in his hand. The little palace maid beside him was gently waving a round fan to dispel the heat for him.
"All of you go down!" Ye Qingyu waved his hand, signaling the little palace maids to leave, leaving only Qingfeng and Qingyi in the bedroom.
Seeing that no one was around, Qing Yi quickly stepped forward and reached out to touch Ye Qingyu's forehead, but he dodged it with a slight tilt of his head. Qing Yi smiled helplessly and said, "Why are you hiding? I just wanted to see if you still have a fever."
"...It's okay now." A faint blush appeared on Ye Qingyu's fair face, and she seemed a little uncomfortable.
Qing Yi understood that Xiao Ye was hesitant because of Qing Feng's presence. He thought to himself, "Your subordinate even thought of finding you something as rare as Ling Xiao Cream. What do you have to be ashamed of?"
"Look!" Ye Qingyu handed the booklet in his hand to Qingyi. This was delivered by Eunuch Chang himself yesterday.
"What is this?" Qing Yi flipped it open casually and saw that each page was painted with exquisite jade patterns, and the name and quantity of the jade were marked below.
"The jade book from the treasure house." Ye Qingyu replied.
"So many!" Qing Yi flipped through the booklet briefly and handed it to Qing Feng. The booklet was extremely exquisitely made, obviously a work of great care.
"This matter must be done in secret and must not alert others. This is why we stay in the palace. Tonight, we will go to the treasure house at night to verify how many jade artifacts have been lost." Ye Qingyu said solemnly.
It is not easy to explore the treasure house at night. After all, there are special guards there and you need to be extremely careful.
"Qingfeng, go check Zhao Quan, the commander of the guards in the treasure house, and Eunuch Wang, the chief steward, to see if they have had any contact with anyone in the harem." Ye Qingyu already had an idea in his mind on how to investigate this case.
"Yes, I'll do it right away." Qingfeng took the order and left. He had been following the young prince of the Northwest for many years, so he was quite familiar with the palace, unlike Qingyi who was unfamiliar with the place.
Seeing Qingfeng leave, Qingyi asked, "Xiaoye, what about me? What should I do?"
"Let's talk about it tonight."
"Ah? At night? No, Xiaoye, my martial arts skills are not bad either. Besides... besides that aspect, I can also help you do some practical things!" Qingyi was really bored. Even Qingfeng had something to do. Could he just be idle like this?
"..." Ye Qingyu angrily reached out and hit Qing Yi, saying uncomfortably: "Can you please speak properly?"
"Oh, fine, tonight is tonight. You can use me anytime you want." Qing Yi said with a smile, purely trying to gain verbal advantage. He didn't dare lose control like he did last night. He felt so sorry for Xiao Ye.
"Take a look at this booklet first and write down the approximate order." Ye Qingyu instructed.
"Ah, reading? Xiaoye, you know that I get a headache when I read." Qingyi complained with a frown.
"Finish reading it before dark." Ye Qingyu ignored Qing Yi's excuse.
"Oh, okay, okay. If I had known earlier, I would have switched with Qingfeng. Oh, by the way, Xiaoye, I'll take a look later. I'll apply the medicine to you first." Qingyi said, taking out the Lingxiao ointment that Qingfeng had stolen from Doctor Wang from his waist pocket.
"What is this?" Ye Qingyu took it, opened the small porcelain bottle, and a fresh fragrance wafted into his nose.
"Uh...this is..." Qing Yi hesitated for a moment, looked back to see that there was no one in the bedroom, and whispered a few words in Ye Qingyu's ear.
"..." Ye Qingyu's face turned red instantly. He didn't expect that this was given by Qingfeng!
"This is really good stuff. When I use it up, I will go to the Imperial Hospital to steal it!" Qing Yi said.
"..." Ye Qingyu didn't know how to respond and could only remain silent.
"Xiao Ye, let me apply medicine for you." Qing Yi sat down beside the bed and said softly.
"No...no need." Ye Qingyu flatly refused. Although the two of them had a close relationship, he still felt extremely shy about applying medicine.
"Don't be embarrassed. I've seen everything about you. Besides, you were injured because of me." Qing Yi persuaded patiently.
"No need for you!" Ye Qingyu still insisted on refusing.
"If you don't want me, who do you want to use, Xiaoye?" Qing Yi asked pretending to be angry.
