Jun Shihuai was sometimes awake and sometimes asleep, and when he was awake he was not very clear-headed. He would sometimes call out for his mother, and sometimes for Jun Li, repeating this over and over again until dusk when he regained consciousness.
His body was still very hot, and Jun Shihuai opened his eyes uncomfortably. When he saw that he was holding a quilt instead of Jun Li, he was stunned for a moment. Then he got up and poured himself a glass of water.
The water was cold, and as it slid down his throat, the icy feeling brought him fully to his senses.
His body felt soft, and every step he took felt like he was stepping on cotton, so he had no choice but to sit back on the bed, his mind slowly thinking about Jun Li. She should have returned to Chaoxia Palace.
Although feeling a little disappointed, Jun Shihuai did not feel sad. The environment here was not good, and it would not be good for her health if she stayed there for too long. It would not be too late to let her come and sleep here after he moved to the new palace.
Thinking of this, a smile gradually appeared on Jun Shihuai's face, and his body seemed to be less uncomfortable.
But before the smile reached his eyes, there were hurried footsteps outside, followed by a messy and rapid knock on the door. Jun Shihuai immediately put away his smile, and his eyes became alert and sharp.
"Fourth Prince, are you in there? I am Wen Yu, Princess Chaole's personal maid."
Jun Shihuai put away his edge, stood up and opened the door. Wen Yu's face was covered with sweat. Seeing him, she panted and said, "This servant... This servant came to inform the Fourth Prince that the Queen came to the Prince's place this morning. My princess was punished to kneel, so..."
Wen Yu's anxious speech was somewhat incoherent. Jun Shihuai probably understood what she meant. The more he listened, the tighter his brows furrowed. When he heard about the punishment of kneeling, his heart sank. Before Wen Yu could finish her explanation, he asked, "Where is it?"
Wen Yu hadn't reacted yet and stared blankly at Jun Shihuai. Jun Shihuai had completely lost his patience, a black storm began to brew in his eyes, and a hint of hostility appeared on his face. Wen Yu usually saw him being gentle to others, and had never seen him like this. She felt a little terrified and took two steps back.
Jun Shihuai asked again: "I said, where is she?"
"In...in the ancestral hall next to Qifeng Palace." Wen Yu answered hesitantly.
Jun Shihuai immediately raised his leg to leave, but his body shook twice. He turned back, went into the house and gulped down two cups of tea. He whizzed past Wen Yu like the wind and disappeared in the yard in the blink of an eye, leaving Wen Yu with a dazed look on his face.
The look in the Fourth Prince's eyes just now was so scary.
How could Jun Li really kneel? The revenge for the slap had not been settled yet, and she was giving Jun Li face by not going to settle the score. After entering the ancestral hall, 0405 felt Jun Li's low mood, and made an exception and used her own pocket money to buy Jun Li a bed in the system store, and also bought a big snack gift package.
The people on the Queen's side never thought that Jun Li would disobey the Queen, so no one was guarding outside. When everyone thought she was kneeling and repenting, she was actually eating melon seeds and chatting with 0405.
0405 Usually, he enjoyed chatting with Junli, no matter if they were just gossiping or bantering. But today was abnormal. He did not talk back to Junli, but just agreed with her blindly. He was not in the right state of mind. So when Jun Shihuai came, he felt it immediately and told Junli.
Junli: “…”
She rolled off the bed and said to 0405, "Return the things to their owners, and quickly clean up."
Seeing her look of disgust, 0405 quietly packed up his things and mourned in his heart for his meager pocket money.
