"Yun'er, I will protect you. You are my wife. Our child will grow up safely and happily in the harem."

"Your Majesty is right. I believe you."

The candlelight flickered in Fengyi Palace as Emperor Shangwen carried Empress Duan onto the phoenix bed. As he advanced, the scenery in the room was obscured by the gauze curtains.

After the wet nurse finished feeding the two princes, she asked Eleven to look after the little princess while she went to rest for a while.

There are three or five maids in the princess's palace, who take turns to keep watch at night. It has been too cold these two days, and even the wet nurse can't bear it anymore.

After the wet nurse left, Xiao Ruyu lay in the cradle, staring at everything outside the palace.

Speaking of which, my little brother was really quiet today. He would normally hum a few times, but today he was as quiet as a chicken.

Her little hand accidentally touched Xiao Rujin's forehead, and she suddenly found that her stinky brother's forehead was a little hot, as if he had a fever.

Xiao Ruyu had almost used up most of his spiritual power when he was on the Star Picking Platform just now. Now he was weak and couldn't use his spiritual power.

"Eleven, Rujin has a fever, the situation is not good! Please prepare some water and a basin for me so I can help him reduce his fever."

Eleven listened to Xiao Ruyu's anxious tone and nodded quickly, "Eleven will go and prepare now, Princess, wait a moment."

Xiao Ruyu pinched Xiao Rujin's little hand, which was very hot, and the temperature of her forehead was a little scary. She hoped that she might have been burned.

Taking advantage of the time when Eleven was away, Xiao Ruyu bit her finger and then forced her way into the space. She took out the pills and spiritual spring water and fed them to Xiao Ruijin.

Xiao Ruijin's cheeks were visibly not that hot, but if the temperature of his body did not drop, it would still be dangerous.

She stuffed a pill into Xiao Rujin's mouth and fed it to him. After he finished eating it, she put the pill away.

Eleven brought some cold water and applied a cold wet cloth to the little prince's forehead. Seeing his temperature slowly drop, Eleven finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the little prince is fine, otherwise things would be much more troublesome.

That night, Xiao Ruyu was sometimes awake and sometimes asleep, until she was sure that Xiao Rujin was fine, then she slowly fell asleep.

The next day, when Queen Duan learned about this from Eleven, she almost fainted. When she found out that it was Xiao Ruyu who cured Xiao Rujin, she was so happy that she hugged Xiao Ruyu and cried bitterly.

"Yu'er, you are really our lucky star."

As soon as Xiao Ruyu opened her eyes, Queen Duan kissed her. She felt a little embarrassed, but she accepted the sweet kiss from her beautiful mother with a smile!

[My stinky little brother is fine. He will have to be Yu'er's follower in the future, so it won't be so easy to reopen! Don't worry, mother! ]

Xiao Ruyu's words also made Queen Duan feel a lot of thoughts.

In the past, she did not believe in ghosts and gods, nor did she believe in fallacies. It was not until she heard her daughter's voice that she began to believe that the world is so big and full of wonders, and that this was indeed the truth.

"Yu'er, having a good sister like you is Jin'er's blessing."

萧如玉暗暗想着，只要臭弟弟以后不是恋爱脑就好了，最好乖巧的很，不然，他可不会吝啬揍弟弟的机会。

Nanny Cui brought breakfast from the imperial kitchen. The dishes were very rich and seemed to have everything one would expect.

Xiao Ruyu was able to drink a little bit of porridge now. She took a mouthful of the meat porridge with eager eyes and licked her tongue with satisfaction. In addition to her baby teeth, she had grown two more teeth and she didn't know when she could eat some meat.

She wants to eat meat...

Xiao Ruyu curled her lips, feeling a little aggrieved.

Killing is prohibited in Yaowang Valley, so they almost always eat vegetarian food. Sometimes, when she is able to go down the mountain, she can't take her eyes off the folk snacks and dishes.

What's more, the place where she is now is the imperial palace.

After Xiao Rujin finished his milk obediently, he made a fuss for porridge for the first time. He was quiet most of the time, except when Xiao Ruyu was around, then he became lively.

Looking at the little dumpling eating porridge obediently, Xiao Ruyu also felt the joy of raising a cub.

Little brother, I will protect you from now on!

After the mother and her two children finished their meal, the voice of Nanny Cui was heard outside Fengyi Palace.

"My Lady, something bad has happened!"

Queen Duan put down her bowl and chopsticks and wiped the corners of her mouth. Her etiquette was perfect.

"Why is there so much fanfare?"

Nanny Cui cut to the chase and spoke urgently.

"It's not for any other reason, it's just... Concubine Li has been so arrogant since she came out of the cold palace. She even killed Concubine Le's cat, saying that Concubine Le's cat scratched her and she wanted to punish her. Now Concubine Le has been punished to kneel in Changning Palace."

Empress Duan had always disliked Concubine Li, and had been extra wary of her since she returned to the palace. However, she had not expected that she would start to act up again before she had a stable foothold in the harem.

"Let me see what Concubine Li wants to do!"

Xiao Ruyu raised an eyebrow. Concubine Li knew that she was stirring up trouble, but in the original plot, the time for her to jump around was at the end. Xiao Ruyu was not surprised that she had such ability now.

In Changning Palace, Concubine Le was punished to kneel on the ground. Not far away, a snow-white cat had been beaten to death. She was forced to kneel on the ground by several burly maids and had no strength to fight back.

Concubine Li sat on the armchair, with a scornful smile in her eyes, and said coldly.

"Princess Le, your cat actually dared to hurt me. Ha, I will never let you off easily!"

Concubine Le was in great pain and she wished she could die together with Concubine Li. Although the emperor did not restore Concubine Li's position, he allowed her to live in Qiwu Palace, thinking that it was only a matter of time before she would be restored to the throne.

But her Yuanyuan was beaten to death by Concubine Li, but why did she hit Concubine Li? It was obvious that Concubine Li wanted to frame her! The pain in her heart continued to increase.

"Concubine Li, I know your father and brother are powerful, but this is the imperial palace. Above you is the emperor, the queen, and the queen mother. Do you think you can cover the sky with one hand?"

Concubine Li had suffered too much in the past two days and just wanted a chance to breathe. She felt a little painful in her heart and finally spoke with gritted teeth.

"You are right. I am capable. Come, slap her in the face! Concubine Le is trying to harm the heir to the throne. We need to teach her a lesson about the rules!"

However, before Concubine Li's slap could land on Concubine Le's face, it was blocked by Eleven, who appeared like a ghost.

Eleven pushed Concubine Li away with his sword, and also gave the nanny who was controlling Concubine Le a lesson. In the end, he let Concubine Le go.

Queen Duan's people appeared in Changning Palace and surrounded everyone around Concubine Li.

"Concubine Li, the palace is not a place for you to make decisions. I will handle the matter of Concubine Li fairly."

Concubine Li laughed out of anger. She especially hated the Queen's interference. Did all the concubines in the harem have the same surname as her, Duan? She wanted to disgust the Queen.

"Really? But I just don't believe it!"
