Doctor Yang was leaning on the side, coughing and spewing out several puffs of black smoke.

"Ahem...it's okay."

He waved his head at the eunuchs and maids, and said hurriedly, "Hurry, hurry, there are still a lot of books in there."

Eleven was also in a miserable state. Most of the clothes between his arms were burned, and his skin was visibly red.

Xiao Ruyu's eyes turned red and she rushed in regardless of any obstruction.

Those books are the master's hard work, she must help rescue them no matter what!

Seeing that she wanted to rush in again, Duan Yiheng quickly hugged her and held her in his arms.

"Don't be impulsive, little princess. You can't go in until the fire is clear."

[No, I want to help Master rescue his book.]

She flapped her legs, trying to slip out of his arms.

Duan Yiheng and Duan Yiling almost failed to catch her and were extremely anxious.

"Little princess, calm down!"

"If the emperor finds out about you rushing in, I'm afraid even Imperial Doctor Yang will be severely punished!"

After hearing these words, Xiao Ruyu instantly became much more sober.

We are not outside the palace now!

If anything went wrong with her, her father would hold her accountable.

Helpless, Xiao Ruyu slumped down at the door, anxiously watching people coming in and out.

After half an incense stick of time, the fire was finally put out.

The eunuch in charge was so smoked that his face turned black and his teeth turned yellow when he spoke. "My dear little princess, the fire has been put out. Fortunately, it was not big and only burned down Doctor Yang's room."

Burned down the master's house?!

Xiao Ruyu's heart, which had just been hanging in the air, was in a state of tension again, and she paced back and forth anxiously.

A moment later, Doctor Yang staggered out of the room holding a group of books that were mostly burnt.

[Master! Are you okay? ]

Eleven followed behind him, looking dejected.

"Nothing, but it's a pity that half of the book was burned."

Doctor Yang sighed repeatedly, touching his blood with a distressed look, "Forget it, Master, just write another one."

Xiao Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Eleven.

[Eleven, your arm is injured. I'll take you to get some medicine.]

She grabbed Eleven's arm and found that it was burned. She hurriedly prepared to take him to the imperial physician for medicine.

After taking two steps, she turned back awkwardly.

[It's terrible, I forgot that this was the doctor's opinion. ]

Duan Yiling couldn't help laughing at her silly look, "Did the little princess become stupid because of the smoke?"

Eleven used half of his sleeve to cover the burned area and spoke calmly.

"It's okay, little princess, don't worry about Eleven."

"It's very smoky here. I'll take the little princess back."

Xiao Ruyu reacted and quickly asked everyone to stay in her bedroom first.

Duan Yiheng declined her invitation and bowed slightly, "It's getting late, we should go back home."

"Little princess, I'll take my leave first."

Duan Yiling hugged Xiao Ruyu reluctantly, touched her head, and left with Duan Yiheng.

…

Afterwards, Xiao Ruyu was in the palace.

Doctor Yang took the tea handed to him by the servant with both hands and took two sips. The funny black smoke on his face was washed away.

Eleven also went to change his clothes and stood aside in a low mood.

Seeing that both of them looked in a bad mood, Xiao Ruyu also became confused.

[I don't usually make elixirs in my master's room, so how could the imperial physician suddenly have a seizure? ]

"This matter..."

Doctor Yang touched his nose awkwardly, glanced at Eleven, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

This aroused Xiao Ruyu's curiosity even more.

【What is this all about? 】

"Master just taught Eleven the art of fire control. It was Eleven's first time practicing and he lost control for a moment."

Doctor Yang explained the whole thing in detail.

【So that's how it is.】

Xiao Ruyu looked as if something had suddenly dawned on him.

Eleven lowered his head and said hoarsely, "It's all Eleven's fault. It also implicated Master."

He tugged at the edge of his sleeve and lowered his head in embarrassment.

[I thought it was a big deal, but it turns out I just didn't master the technique well enough.]

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Xiao Ruyu threw herself into his arms and said half-jokingly, "My master taught me the art of controlling fire before, but I didn't control the fire well and burned half of the mountain in Medicine King Valley."

"Ahem...how dare you, little princess, bring it up."

Doctor Yang glared at her, thinking back to the past, "That's not all, but you also burned all of Master's clothes. Master was almost naked!"

【Hahahaha, Master, you still remember! 】

Xiao Ruyu laughed so hard that she fell backwards, and Shiyi's mouth corners couldn't help but rise.

Seeing that his complexion had improved a little, Xiao Ruyu moved closer and looked at him with her head tilted.

[Do you feel better now? ]

Eleven realized that she was finding ways to make herself happy, and she couldn't help but feel touched.

"Oh, he is happy."

Doctor Yang flicked his sleeves and looked very long.

Xiao Ruyu exchanged glances with Eleven in confusion and moved closer to him.

【Master, what are you so depressed about? 】

Shiyifa scratched his head in embarrassment, "Master was fined one month's salary for not managing things properly."

Doctor Yang stood there with his arms folded across his chest, feeling depressed, and was thinking about where he could get more money from some other day.

"Little princess."

As they were talking, Nanny Cui suddenly appeared.

"The Queen is waiting for the little princess in the palace."

[My mother is looking for me, so I'll leave first. ]

Xiao Ruyu waved goodbye to Doctor Yang and turned to go into Queen Duan's bedroom.

【Mother, I'm back. 】

She threw herself into Queen Duan's arms and rubbed her little face against her chest.

Empress Duan put her forehead close to hers and smiled, "Go and pay your respects to your grandmother later."

She sighed and whispered.

"You were not in the palace a while ago, so mother had to claim illness and stay at home."

"If I don't bring you along to pay my respects, your grandmother will probably get suspicious."

Inside Shou'an Palace.

Xiao Ruyu was led into the hall, and at first glance he saw the Empress Dowager sitting on the armchair.

Ever since Xiao Ruyu cured her last illness, her complexion has become increasingly rosy, and she is taking a nap with her eyes closed.

"Greetings to the Imperial Grandmother."

Hearing the sound of baby chirping, the empress dowager opened her eyes and saw a meat ball rushing towards her.

"Ouch, slow down."

The Queen Mother quickly caught her, her eyes full of love.

【I miss my grandmother so much. 】

Xiao Ruyu leaned in her arms and used his usual coquettish method to rub her cheek.

The Queen Mother forgot that she had not come to pay her respects for many days and touched her face lovingly.

"Are you feeling better now? You haven't been out these days, and the Queen hasn't been out much either."

[Much better now. Grandmother Huang is worried about you.]

Xiao Ruyu leaned in her arms and winked quietly at Queen Duan.

Done!

Queen Duan half-knelt to pay her respects, then sat aside with her clothes folded.

The Queen Mother sighed softly and mentioned something.

"In the past, the late emperor had ten sons, so the palace didn't feel lonely."

"Now, at most, you and the emperor only have two princes and one princess."

"Today, I want to discuss the matter of taking a concubine with you."
