After finishing his government affairs, Gu Wang changed into casual clothes and went to Ying Mansion in a low-key manner.
When Ying's father saw the emperor coming in person, he was so scared that he immediately knelt down to pay his respects.
Gu Wang quickly reached out and grabbed him.
"No need to be so polite. I came to see Ying Zhen. I heard that he has been having a recurring fever for the past few days."
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Please come in."
Ying's father brought Gu Wang to Ying Xixi's yard.
Before entering the house, Ying's father spoke first.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I'll go in and see if Zhen'er is awake."
"It's okay. If he's still asleep, there's no need to wake him up. I don't have anything to do today, so I can wait here."
Gu Wang stopped Ying's father.
Father Ying was terrified and said, "Yes."
When he entered the room, Ying Xixi just woke up.
Ying Xixi sat up dizzy, "Father, what's wrong? Is someone here?"
"You're quite good at guessing. It's the Emperor who has come. He heard that you've had a fever for several days, so he came to see you.
How are you now? Do you want to see the emperor?"
Ying's father asked in a low voice.
"Okay, then please come in, Your Majesty."
Ying Xixi lowered her head and straightened her clothes.
Gu Wang came in quickly. Ying Xixi smiled and pretended to lift the quilt and get out of bed to greet him.
But Gu Wang stepped forward and stopped Ying Xixi.
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty. Thank you for your concern. I didn't expect that Your Majesty would come in person."
"My dear, you risked your life to protect me, so naturally I am concerned about you.
My dear, how are you feeling? I'll ask the imperial physician to take another look at you.
It's only been three or four days, and I see you've lost weight."
Gu Wang looked at Ying Xixi's pale face.
"No need, Your Majesty, don't bother. The court physician's medical skills are still good enough.
I will be fine after a few days of rest."
Seeing Ying Xixi's determined eyes, Gu Wang no longer insisted on calling the imperial physician over.
"By the way, I have found a clue about sending people to look for the miracle doctor.
If all goes well, we can bring the miracle doctor to the capital this year.
Then you can ask the miracle doctor to check on your sister."
When Ying Xixi heard this, her eyes brightened up a lot.
"That's great! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Looking at Ying Aiqing's bright eyes, Gu Wang's heart beat faster.
It feels... weird.
He shifted his gaze and fell on the wooden hairpin on the table beside him.
That hairpin looks like a woman's hairpin, why is it placed here?
"My dear, that hairpin looks very beautiful. Are you using it?"
Gu Wang asked as if to change the subject.
Ying Xixi followed Gu Wang's gaze and saw the wooden hairpin carved with peach blossoms.
That was indeed the hairpin she used, and it was also used by women.
Ying Xixi tried to calm down, "Yes, although it is a hairpin used by women, I like it very much and usually use it at home."
"I see, my dear. What happened to the cousin you mentioned last time?"
Gu Wang asked one question after another.
Ying Xixi had just woken up and was still quite energetic.
She briefly talked about Miao Manman's situation.
"Manman should be able to arrive in the capital in a few days. I will spend some time with her then, if she decides to marry me.
Maybe I will arrange a marriage and marry her."
Gu Wang nodded, his expression puzzled.
"My dear, you are a very kind person. There is no girl who doesn't like you. Your marriage with Miss Miao will definitely go smoothly.
When the time comes, I can also grant you marriage."
"Then I, Your Majesty, thank you in advance."
The two of them were chatting, and the atmosphere was pretty good.
It was getting dark and it was almost time for dinner.
It was only when Ying Xixi's stomach rumbled that Gu Wang realized it was already this time.
"My dear, you must be hungry. I have been delaying your rest.
It’s time for me to return to the palace.”
Gu Wang said as he stood up.
"Your Majesty, it's already this late, why don't you stay and have dinner?"
Ying Xixi said politely, but didn't really want Gu Wang to stay for dinner.
You should be polite when you should be polite.
But she didn't expect that Gu Wang actually agreed to it.
Ying Xixi: “???”
At the dining table, Gu Wang sat at the main seat, with Ying Xixi and Ying's father sitting on both sides.
The Ying family had few members, and Ying's mother was killed in her early years due to a conspiracy by the right prime minister's family.
Ying Zhen was also tricked into falling into a coma.
Every day, Ying's father and Ying Xixi ate alone together.
Now there is one more person, Gu Wang.
Ying Xixi suddenly felt that the house seemed to be more lively because of Gu Wang's presence.
Unlike Ying Xixi, Ying's father felt terrified.
He actually ate at the same table with the emperor!
The emperor truly deserves to be the emperor. He is so majestic without even getting angry.
He's afraid he won't be able to eat much for dinner tonight.
Gu Wang did not bring the eunuch with him, so Ying Xixi asked the servants in the mansion to test the food for poison with silver needles in front of Gu Wang.
After making sure that the food was not poisonous, the three of them began to eat.
"Your Majesty, let me serve you some food."
Ying Xixi said as she stood up.
"No, you can eat as you normally would. There's no need for this."
Gu Wang waved his hand.
The three people had different moods after the meal.
Gu Wang looked at Ying Xixi eating with relish, and his appetite improved a lot.
After the meal, Gu Wang suggested leaving.
