As the day of taking a concubine was approaching in two days, she felt more and more bored.

Xiao Rujin noticed that she was absent-minded, so he took the initiative to pass the food in his bowl to her.

"Sister, you haven't slept well these days. You have dark circles under your eyes."

Empress Duan also noticed the dark blue in Xiao Ruyu's eyes, and turned to tell Aunt Cui, "Go to the imperial physician later and get some tranquilizers for the little princess."

【Mother, that’s not necessary. 】

Xiao Ruyu interrupted her and hung her head in disinterest.

"The Emperor has arrived——"

Eunuch Yin's voice came from outside the palace, and Queen Duan hurriedly pulled Xiao Ruyu and Xiao Rujin to pay their respects.

"Did the little princess and the little prince eat sweet food this morning?"

He strode into the hall, picked up Xiao Ruyu and the other person in each hand, and was in a very good mood.

[Mother couldn't eat because of the concubine issue, but why does father still look so happy? ]

Xiao Ruyu muttered something in her heart, then covered her mouth when she realized what was happening.

Oops, I spoke too fast.

Emperor Shangwen was obviously stunned, but he did not blame her.

After putting the two down, he reached out and rubbed Xiao Ruyu's head, "The little princess is really worried about this matter."

He threw off his robe, sat down, grabbed Queen Duan's hand, and felt refreshed.

"I came here today to talk about this."

Xiao Ruyu immediately pricked up his ears and listened attentively to his next words.

Seeing her like this, Emperor Shangwen paused, deliberately whetting her appetite.

【Daddy, tell me quickly! 】

Xiao Ruyu couldn't wait and grabbed his dragon robe and shook it.

"Early in the morning, the Empress Dowager came to me and said that the matter of taking a concubine was cancelled."

Emperor Shangwen looked at Empress Duan with a smile and patted her hand gently.

[Seriously? Daddy doesn't lie! ]

Xiao Ruyu's eyes lit up, the dark blue in his eyes disappeared, and he almost jumped up.

"Why would the Empress suddenly..."

Queen Duan was so excited that her handkerchief was trembling slightly, and the joy in her eyes could not be suppressed.

"I don't know either. It seems like I dreamed about ancestor worship."

"This is not a big deal. It's a good thing that you don't force me to take a concubine right now!"

Emperor Shangwen gently embraced Empress Duan in his arms and spoke in a gentle tone.

Seeing this, Xiao Ruyu tactfully covered Xiao Rujin's eyes and dragged him out.

"Sister...I'm not...not full yet...mm."

Xiao Rujin stuffed food into his mouth and spit out words one by one.

[Daddy, Mommy, my stinky little brother said he's full, we're leaving first! ]

She pulled him out the door despite Xiao Rujin's objections.

[Stinky brother, you should have some sense! ]

Xiao Ruyu hit Xiao Rujin, feeling very disappointed with him.

"But sister, I'm really not full..." Xiao Rujin touched her stomach aggrievedly.

Looking at his pitiful appearance, Xiao Ruyu couldn't bear it.

By the way, you can go to the kitchenette to make some food!

[Wait for me, I'll go find Eleven to make you the most delicious lotus seed soup.]

Xiao Ruyu trotted away, eager to tell Eleven the good news.

As Eleven had not yet gone to practice, she simply went straight to her residence.

"Eleven! Eleven!!"

Before she even entered the house, she shouted at the door, but there was no movement from inside.

It's strange, Eleven usually gets up at this time.

With a puzzled look on his face, Xiao Ruyu pushed open his door and his face turned pale. "Eleven! What's wrong with you?!"

"Someone come quickly!"

Inside the house, Eleven's face had lost all color, his head fell to the ground, and his hands rested limply on both sides.

The bedding was in a mess and was cold. He must have fainted in his sleep.

Xiao Ruyu shouted at the servants outside, who hurriedly helped Eleven to the bed.

"Eleven, wake up."

She was so anxious that tears were about to fall. She took Eleven's pulse and found that it was extremely weak, which made her even more panicked.

Yes! Go find the master!

Master can save him!

Xiao Ruyu asked the servants to take good care of Eleven and rushed out to see the imperial physician.

"Master! Master!"

Doctor Yang looked up and saw Xiao Ruyu had already arrived at the door.

He stepped forward quickly, "What happened?"

[Go and save Eleven, his pulse is so weak! ]

Xiao Ruyu choked up and spoke, then pulled Doctor Yang out.

Upon hearing this, Doctor Yang also panicked. He put down the work in his hands and hurried to Eleven's residence.

Seeing Eleven lying weak on the bed, Doctor Yang stepped forward to check his breath and then took his pulse.

[Master, what happened to Eleven? ]

[Why didn't he wake up for so long? ]

Before Doctor Yang could speak, Xiao Ruyu asked first, with anxiety in her eyes.

After taking his pulse, Doctor Yang breathed a sigh of relief, comforted the anxious Xiao Ruyu, and explained, "Don't worry, little princess. Eleven's spiritual power was exhausted and he fainted because he couldn't bear it."

Spiritual power exhausted? !

Xiao Ruyu's tears stopped abruptly and her eyes fell on Eleven lying on the sickbed.

[How could he exhaust his spiritual power? ]

Doctor Yang coughed twice and sent the servants away.

Then he turned his wrist and injected a stream of spiritual power into Eleven's body.

After a while, Eleven's face gradually regained its rosy color and he slowly opened his eyes.

[Eleven, you finally woke up. I was scared to death.]

Xiao Ruyu's eyes reddened and she threw herself into his arms.

"What's wrong with me?"

Eleven had a splitting headache and rubbed his temples. He noticed the little ball in his arms sobbing softly and quickly spoke to comfort him.

"Eleven is fine, don't worry little princess."

He carefully wiped away the tears from Xiao Ruyu's eyes and looked at Doctor Yang, "Master, what happened?"

Doctor Yang found a chair and sat down. He was used to the two of them being so affectionate, so he raised his eyebrows and asked back.

"Isn't this something you should ask yourself?"

"What did Eleven do last night to exhaust his spiritual power?"

Eleven was stunned, but he didn't think of hiding anything and confessed everything directly.

"Eleven entered the Queen Mother's dream last night..."

He narrated them one by one.

When Xiao Ruyu, who had just been crying, heard that he was pretending to be the former emperor very well, she burst into laughter.

[Eleven, I didn't expect you to have such superb acting skills. ]

[He actually did it earlier than me. ]

Being praised by Xiao Ruyu, Eleven lowered his head modestly, "It's still the little princess's idea. Eleven didn't want to embarrass the little princess, so he did it without permission."

"I hope the little princess won't be angry."

【How could I blame Eleven? 】

【It’s too late to thank you for the 11th. 】

Xiao Ruyu kissed him on the cheek and suddenly remembered something.

[Eleven's residence is so far from Shou'an Palace, how did Eleven sneak in and sleep without being discovered? ]

Seeing her asking, Eleven was also stunned.

"Eleven has never been to Shou'an Palace. He entered the dream in the house."

Hearing him say this, Doctor Yang was extremely surprised and exchanged glances with Xiao Ruyu.

"Could it be that the soul is leaving the body?!"
