Yan Yuning saw A Ci wearing the clothes of a eunuch, with a turban on his head and carrying a chamber pot, and his temples were throbbing from the smoke.
She covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and glared at Xuan Yanyu, "You..."
Xuan Yanyu's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "Ningning, I didn't hurt his life."
"You...Xuan Yanyu! Aren't you insulting Aci?" Yan Yuning was furious.
"No, aren't those menial eunuchs the same?" Xuan Yanyu argued.
"Then...then..." Yan Yu Ning was stunned for a few seconds before she said, "They volunteered to do this. They chose the job themselves. Ah Ci didn't do this."
Xuan Yanyu frowned slightly, "He made a mistake, I was very lenient with him by just asking him to clean the room."
"It wasn't Aci who hurt Ranran."
Xuan Yanyu's Adam's apple rolled, "It all started because of him."
Yan Yuning clenched her fists weakly.
"Little Lemon... No, Queen Xuan." Hearing the quarrel, A Ci raised his eyes and looked at Yan Yu Ning in surprise. Obviously, he didn't expect that he would see Yan Yu Ning in such a place.
"Aci." Yan Yu Ning wanted to step forward, but Xuan Yanyu grabbed her arm. She frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
Xuan Yanyu spoke confidently, "You only said you came to see Ah Ci, but you didn't say you wanted to talk to him."
"..." Yan Yuning knocked on the man's hand, "Let go."
Xuan Yanyu shook his head.
"Your Majesty, Empress Xuan." After seeing Xuan Yuncheng off, Ye An ran over quickly, "Your Majesty, the Fifth Duke wants to see Aci, Miss Jing'er said, the Fifth Duke please let Aci go."
Yan Yu Ning was stunned, "Ran Ran wants to let A Ci go?"
"Yes, Empress Xuan, Jing'er conveyed the meaning of Wu Gong in this way."
Yan Yuning looked at Aci, whose eyes no longer had the bright sparkle she had just seen. Instead, they were now filled with sadness.
——
General's Mansion.
Because Xuan Zhaoran loved lively places, she lived in the general's mansion after marriage and rarely went to the duke's mansion.
Yan Yuning and Xuan Yanyu also came to the general's mansion with A Ci. Knowing that Xuan Zhaoran and A Ci had something to say, Yan Yuning and Xuan Yanyu went directly to Xiao Junyu's bedroom.
"Your servant greets His Majesty Prince Xuan and Queen Xuan." The maids, wet nurses, and imperial doctors in the palace knelt down and saluted.
"Get up, and do what you should do." Yan Yuning lowered her voice for fear of disturbing the little girl.
"Yes, Empress Xuan."
Yan Yuning walked to the cradle and looked at the little girl, whose body was wrinkled, facial features were squeezed together, and whose little chest was weakly rising and falling. The little girl was not even as big as her arm. She felt pity and distressed.
The little girl was wrapped in a very thick blanket. She was very well behaved and her cry was like that of a kitten. The imperial physician was standing by and dipped some warm and nourishing medicine in it, applying it little by little on the little girl's mouth.
The little girl opened her mouth instinctively, which made Yan Yuning feel very distressed.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. With us here, the young princess will be fine." The imperial physician said with confidence.
"That's good, that's good." Hearing the affirmative answer, Yan Yuning's heart suddenly brightened.
Xuan Yanyu took two steps forward, lowered his head and looked at the little girl with a wrinkled face, frowning, "Didn't the guard report that a girl with a pink face would definitely be a beauty when she grows up? Why didn't I see it?"
"Children are like this when they are born. They will be good-looking when they grow up. Ranran and Jiang Xian are not ugly, so there is no reason for the little girl not to be good-looking." Yan Yuning looked at the little girl who was trying hard to lick the medicine, her eyes filled with sweet joy.
"Nonsense, Xiaoxiao was very clean when she was a child." The man paused, a sly smile spread across the corners of his mouth, "I guess she inherited it from me."
The corner of Yan Yuning's eye twitched, and she saw that the imperial physician's hand holding the spoon trembled slightly.
"Is that right?" Xuan Yanyu patted Yan Yuning's head, adjusted the angle, and tilted his head towards her.
