Twenty-seven
When Yunqi woke up again, he didn't know how many days had passed. Although he could only open and close his eyes, he could clearly feel the passage of time.
After all, people have come to the palace.
The distance from Wangshui County to Mutian City is not short. The bumpy ride on the road for days did not wake him up, so he accepted his fate.
He also accepted the fact that Ling Junyan had actually recovered his memory a long time ago, but there was another possibility that he had never lost his memory at all and was just playing tricks on himself. But Yun Qi had no intention of exploring why.
He learned from the palace servants that the magistrate of Wangshui County had been dismissed from his post. The cause and effect of the incident were also informed to the people. They also got in touch with their missing relatives. Also, the new county magistrate was Baiyi, which was something Yunqi had not expected.
It seems that Ling Junyan is quite clear about the distinction between public and private affairs.
But how could a palace maid know all this? Who arranged this for her?
Just as he was thinking, Yun Qi glanced at the palace servant. The palace servant lowered his head and said nothing. He was talking excitedly just now, but now he was silent. This further confirmed Yun Qi's guess.
Yun Qi asked him, "Where is His Majesty Ling?"
"My Lord, the Emperor is in the Imperial Study."
Oh...I should be taking care of official business.
Then Yunqi didn't ask anything else.
The palace maid paused for a moment when she saw this, "Young Master..."
"Um?"
“It’s okay…it’s okay…”
After saying that, the palace maid continued to stand there motionless.
He stood there for so long that Yunqi felt uncomfortable watching him. Besides, there were many palace maids and eunuchs in the room, all standing there motionless, like wooden sticks. What were they doing?
"Or, you all can go out. This place doesn't need anyone to wait on you."
"No, His Majesty has ordered that none of us servants may leave until the young master recovers."
"I'm already healed, you see." Yun Qi stretched his muscles a few times.
But none of the palace servants looked up. "Whether he is healed or not, it is not up to us to say."
"Ah?" Yun Qi was confused. What was he saying?
At this time, a eunuch followed up on the palace maid's words and said, "What the servants say doesn't count."
Yun Qi looked at the people in the room and said, "Okay, okay, you guys don't have the final say, but don't I know my own body well? I can always have the final say, right?"
"It doesn't count."
Yun Qi: “…”
Shocked! Eunuchs and palace maids bullied people! It's unjust!
Yun Qi grinned helplessly, and after a moment, he said, "You guys... do whatever you want."
Tired.
"If you truly wish to prove your recovery, you may consult His Majesty."
Yun Qi: What the hell? What kind of ridiculous and speechless statement did he hear?
"Do I need to ask him for instructions?"
"Yes, sir."
"Impossible! Don't leave, just stay here! I like crowds!"
The palace maids off the field glanced at each other secretly.
An hour later, Yunqi appeared outside the imperial study.
At this time in the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, Master Yun Qi is waiting outside."
A hint of joy flashed across Ling Junyan's brows, "Let him in."
"yes."
"Wait, he volunteered?"
"Your Majesty, it is voluntary."
So, the "voluntary" Yunqi was brought in by the palace servants.
When he first saw Ling Junyan, Yun Qi's eyes were still looking around, but he didn't look at Ling Junyan. After a while, he suddenly realized that he was already the emperor, so he had to bow and say, "Your Majesty."
Ling Junyan hurried to help him up, "When did you become estranged from me?"
Yunqi withdrew his arm unnaturally and did not answer the question directly.
"Please remove those palace servants. I'm fine now and don't need anyone to take care of me."
"Is this why you came to see me?"
"Hmm..." Yun Qi was about to admit it, but then he caught a glimpse of Ling Junyan's resentful eyes, and then changed his tone: "...?"
Is there something else I should be doing?
Yunqi thought about it, but still didn't understand.
Ling Junyan: "Just arrange this kind of thing yourself. Don't they listen to you?"
What do you mean, this wasn't his order? And judging from his tone, if he said it was, those palace maids would have suffered.
Yun Qi opened his mouth and said, "N-N-N, not really. I just wanted to come find you and mention it in passing."
Ling Junyan's brows visibly relaxed after hearing this. "Okay, then why did you come to see me?"
"I..." This really stumped Yun Qi. After thinking for a while, he finally remembered a question. He asked, "I know roughly what happened in Wangshui County. How was the culprit, the prefect, dealt with?"
"The three Yi tribes." Ling Jun's tone was extremely calm.
Yun Qi took a deep breath.
It's really miserable.
Ling Junyan: "Anything else you want to ask?"
Yun Qi looked at him, "Were you injured at that time?"
Even if he was injured, he would definitely be healed by now, but Yun Qi still couldn't help but ask.
Then I felt Ling Junyan was happy again, "Don't worry, everything is fine."
Yun Qi frowned slightly and said stubbornly, "Why should I worry? You are the ruler of a country now, and your health is related to the country. I am just concerned about state affairs."
"But I didn't tell you what I wanted you to be assured of. Why are you in such a hurry to explain? Could it be that... you feel guilty?"
Yun Qi stared at the ambiguous smile on Ling Junyan's lips in a daze.
Brother, you are OOC, do you know that?
Yun Qi hurriedly raised his hand, intending to completely end the ambiguous atmosphere, "Wait a minute!"
Then he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I think it would be better if we discussed some serious matters. What do you think?"
At this moment, Ling Junyan's gaze shifted slightly, lingering for a moment elsewhere, as if he was thinking about something. Then he nodded with a smile on his face, "I'll do as you say."
Yun Qi felt relieved.
After that, they just sat there, neither of them talking.
What was even more outrageous was that Ling Junyan actually just sat there reading the memorials, leaving him aside. Yun Qi was in a dilemma as to whether to say anything or not.
Did you forget there was someone next to you???
Yunqi coughed, but the other party didn't respond, so he coughed again, but still no response. Finally, he had to cough violently, but ended up choking himself.
And all these efforts are rewarded.
Ling Junyan: "Does your throat feel uncomfortable?"
Yun Qi: “…”
Oh, forget it, just use this as an excuse to leave.
So he said, "Indeed, a little bit, how about..."
Unexpectedly, Ling Junyan didn't even let him finish and interrupted him, "Someone come here!"
A palace maid came in.
Ling Jun said: "Call the imperial physician."
Yun Qi: "Ah? No need!"
The palace maid was about to leave, but after hearing the voice, she stopped where she was, confused, and wanted to wait for Ling Junyan's instructions.
Ling Junyan raised his eyes and looked at Yun Qi, "Aren't you feeling unwell?"
Yun Qi laughed dryly twice, "Not really... No, I just need to go back and rest for a while, so I won't bother the Imperial Hospital anymore."
He hoped Ling Junyan could understand.
Ling Junyan nodded, then looked at the palace servants, "Retreat."
Then continue reading the memorials.
Yun Qi: "..." He had never been so speechless before. He couldn't bear it anymore. Which good person could sit here for two hours!
He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
Ling Junyan didn't even raise his head, "Yeah."
"Um"! ?
Just a quick "hmm"!? Doesn't he know how foolish this makes him seem? This nonchalant attitude makes him seem like he's being completely inconsiderate! Do you know how infuriating this is...
Yun Qi's eyes were full of hatred, and he was caught by Ling Junyan who looked up in confusion without hearing any noise.
"What's wrong?" Ling Junyan asked.
Yun Qi didn't know if he was laughing out of anger or if he really wanted to laugh. He laughed and said, "It's okay! Nothing happened. Goodbye, Your Majesty."
Ling Junyan nodded and continued reading the memorial.
The moment he lowered his head, Yun Qi gritted his teeth and glared at him fiercely.
Just look and you will know!
Then Yun Qi turned around and left. After only a few seconds, Ling Junyan looked up again and stared for a long time.
The moment Yunqi just walked out, he passed by someone. Yunqi's eyes were attracted by this familiar figure and he stopped to look back.
Until that person entered the imperial study, Yunqi still couldn't remember who he was.
After a while, in the imperial study.
The man said, "Your Majesty, I have found it."
