There were two half-person-high water tanks against the wall, filled with water.
It was Doctor Yang who had it moved here specially these few days for Eleven to use for practicing martial arts.
Eleven walked over and practiced the water control technique over and over again, moving the water in one of the tanks to the other side.
"one two three……"
Thin spiritual power flowed out from the palm of his hand. He counted the times quietly and turned his palm over with difficulty.
Xiao Ruyu couldn't bear to see him like this.
[Eleven, just scoop it out from the basin beside you. Master won’t notice.]
【I used to do this all the time! 】
She was whispering some bad ideas behind him, but just as she finished her words, she heard two light coughs behind her.
“Ahem…”
It's over! She forgot that her master could hear her inner voice!
Xiao Ruyu admitted his mistake and retracted his neck, trying to escape, but was grabbed by Doctor Yang.
"Little princess, let's go practice together."
He pointed in the direction of the corner, smiling, "Replace what was there before."
[Master, I still have to go to the academy, I’ll leave first.]
Xiao Ruyu made up an excuse and tried to escape, but was stopped at the door by Doctor Yang.
"Master vaguely remembers that today is Saturday."
"It seems that there is no need to go to the academy."
He leaned against the door frame, blocking Xiao Ruyu's way completely.
Xiao Ruyu wanted to cry but had no tears. She dragged her feet and moved reluctantly to the corner.
【Eleven, I'm here to accompany you. 】
After a dozen rounds.
Eleven had some difficulty controlling his spiritual power, and his forehead was already covered with sweat.
Xiao Ruyu pulled up her sleeves and stood on tiptoe to help him wipe the sweat off his face.
"Take your time. Master might be busy somewhere else later."
She spoke softly, glancing secretly at Doctor Yang not far away, thinking of a chance to take Eleven away.
Doctor Yang was writing a prescription with his head down. He seemed to have heard what she was thinking. He said without raising his head, "Master has nothing to do today. Little princess, just stay here and don't think about anything else."
As they were talking, the imperial physician rushed in and heard some noise outside.
The imperial physician outside hurriedly saluted and said, "Greetings to Her Majesty Concubine Le."
Le Fei's voice sounded anxiously from outside, as if something extremely urgent was going on.
"Is Doctor Yang here?!"
"I want to see him!"
Her voice came from near and spread far away, and directly broke into the house where Doctor Yang was.
Doctor Yang put down the prescription in his hand, put on his robe and bowed, "Madam Le, what do you want to see me for?"
Before Concubine Le could say anything, she heard a series of cat meows from her arms.
Xiao Ruyu heard the noise and poked his head out from the corner to look.
[What happened to Ergou? Why does he sound so miserable? ]
Ergou was the little white cat she had rescued before, and later gave to Le Fei. Because he had a bit of her spiritual power in his body, he naturally had some spiritual energy.
The civet cat leaned in Le Fei's arms, calling weakly again and again.
As soon as Concubine Le entered the room, she caught a glimpse of Xiao Ruyu standing by the water tank in the corner, and she became puzzled.
"What are you doing here, little princess?"
Her eyes moved to the water tank, and she was about to walk over to ask, but Doctor Yang spoke first.
"There are some fish in the tank, and the little princess is picking some to send to the inner kitchen for lunch."
Xiao Ruyu also hurried over and saluted Empress Le.
"Meet the Queen Consort Le."
Concubine Le was young, so she didn't doubt what Doctor Yang said and believed it to be true.
The little white cat in her arms cried twice again. Concubine Le reacted and was so anxious that she was about to cry. She stuffed Ergou into Doctor Yang's arms.
"Doctor Yang, please take a look at my cat. What's wrong with it?"
"It has stopped eating a few days ago. Not only that, it has been howling day and night. What's wrong with it?"
Doctor Yang took it in a panic, held it in his arms, and looked embarrassed.
"Empress Le, I have never treated a cat before."
Xiao Ruyu leaned over and touched the civet cat.
The civet cat sensed a familiar scent and stretched out its tongue to carefully lick her palm.
[This cat doesn't seem to be sick. ]
Just now she seemed to be touching the cat, but in fact she was using a bit of spiritual power to probe inside.
"Empress Le, when did Ergou stop eating?"
Xiao Ruyu raised her head and asked Concubine Le.
Le Fei fell into recollection and thought carefully, "It was probably the night before yesterday. I fed it some raw bones and meat that day. From then on, it didn't eat much the next day."
"Not only that, but he also started howling from time to time."
She caressed the civet cat's body lovingly, her brow furrowed in pain.
After hearing what Concubine Le said, Xiao Ruyu felt something was wrong.
She stretched out her little hand, took the civet cat from Doctor Yang's arms, and stroked its belly.
When Xiao Ruyu touched the hard place, he already understood.
[Master, just prescribe some medicine for constipation.]
Doctor Yang was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
"Has this cat gone to the toilet in recent days?" He turned and asked Le Fei.
Concubine Le was also startled and thought about it.
"It seems that there is indeed no ..."
Xiao Ruyu took out a few herbs from the herbs behind him and handed them to Concubine Le.
"Empress Le, Ergou is probably just constipated."
"Grind these herbs into powder, pour it into water and feed it to the dog, and it should be fine."
Le Fei looked at the herbs doubtfully, "Is this really possible?"
The civet cat in her arms seemed to understand what Xiao Ruyu said. It shrank its body, curled up in her arms, and buried its face.
"Ergou is still embarrassed."
Xiao Ruyu understood what it meant and burst out laughing.
He put it back into Concubine Le's arms and gave Eleven a wink.
Eleven took the herbs, ground them neatly, poured them into water and fed them to the civet cat.
Not long after the civet cat drank the water, it suddenly jumped out of Xiao Ruyu's arms and walked straight outside.
Concubine Le wanted to follow, but was stopped by Xiao Ruyu.
"Empress Le, Ergou also needs to save face."
After a while, the civet cat came back with a swagger and called out softly.
The painful expression just now has disappeared and his spirit has recovered.
Le Fei's pupils dilated slightly and she hugged it in surprise.
"It's really good. Ergou stopped howling."
"The little princess is so amazing!"
Hearing her praise, Xiao Ruyu declined modestly.
"It's all thanks to Doctor Yang's good teaching."
She did not forget to flatter him and looked at Doctor Yang in a flattering manner.
"In that case, I will go back first. Ergou hasn't eaten for several days. I will go back and feed him."
Concubine Le held the civet cat tightly and left the imperial physician's office.
After she left, Xiao Ruyu secretly glanced at Doctor Yang's expression and found that he was very pleased with the compliment, so she moved her feet and rubbed against his arms.
【Master——】
[Look, Eleven and I have been practicing for half a day, and our hands are sore.]
She stretched out her little arms and held them in front of him, pretending to be aggrieved.
When Doctor Yang saw her like this, he knew that she wanted to be lazy, and he shook his head helplessly and lovingly.
"Forget it, Master will give Eleven a half-day off. Go play with Eleven."
Xiao Ruyu jumped up suddenly, his eyes shining.
【Master is the best! 】
