Um?
Who is that?
Could it be that he had already been transported by sedan chair without realizing it?
Was my memory confused because I was too worried about my master?
Just as Yeats was questioning the meaning of life, the little eunuch came up to him with a smile.
"Aunt Ye Zhi, this servant is Ye Zi, who works at the Hall of Mental Cultivation."
The Emperor knew that the Crown Princess had been wronged today, so he specially sent a servant to bring a sedan chair to wait for her, lest she be injured again.
"emperor?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhi tightened his grip on the Crown Princess's hand slightly, and then his eyes were filled with surprise.
She looked at her mistress and found that the Crown Princess's beautiful face was also full of confusion, as if she was unaware of the situation.
So Yeats had no choice but to ask again.
"Eunuch Ye, are you sure it was the Emperor who sent the sedan chair over, and not His Highness the Crown Prince?"
“I certainly wouldn’t make a mistake, Aunt Ye Zhi, you can rest assured.”
Xiao Yezi wasn't upset at all when people questioned her; she remained smiling, which made her very likable.
"Ye Zhi, help me up. Don't let Father Emperor's kindness go to waste. And thank you, Eunuch Ye Zhi—"
Ye Zhi nodded obediently upon hearing this, and then took out a small purse from her sleeve and handed it to Xiao Yezi.
"Thank you for making this trip, Eunuch Ye."
"I'm not tired, Aunt Ye Zhi. Please help the Crown Princess into the sedan chair, or I won't be able to explain myself."
"Thank you for your advice, Father-in-law."
Ye Zhi didn't say anything more. After she helped the Crown Princess to sit down, she found that Little Ye was still there.
So he nodded to him and directed the sedan chair to set off.
When Yeats reached the corner, he looked back—
Upon discovering that the little leaf-shaped old man was still waiting in the same spot, a sense of unease began to creep into my mind.
If Xiao Yezi's words represent the Emperor's will, then... isn't the Emperor being far too kind to his master?
Could it be because of the Crown Prince?
Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince is so favored, so naturally the Emperor will extend his affection to him as well.
And so, Yeats managed to cheer himself up again.
When she finally learned that the truth was just a hair's breadth away from her, she was filled with deep regret!
Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything then. Who could change the obsession and madness of an emperor?
...
At this time, only the emperor was in the Hall of Mental Cultivation; the crown prince had indeed gone to the private storehouse to select medicine.
When Xiao Yezi ran back, His Highness the Crown Prince was not there.
He calmed his breathing slightly, feeling grateful that he had arrived just in time, and then went inside to report back.
"emperor."
The emperor was eager to know the Crown Princess's whereabouts and her attitude towards him.
So he immediately put aside everything he was doing and kicked everyone else out, a process known as clearing the area.
Even Bai Qing, who had just returned from announcing the imperial decree at Zhongcui Palace, did not stay behind.
"You all go out, Xiao Yezi stays."
"yes."
After everyone had left, Xiao Yezi lowered her head and began to report.
"Your Majesty, after learning that you had bestowed a sedan chair upon her, the Crown Princess was very grateful for your kindness and specially asked Aunt Ye Zhi to reward this servant with a purse."
"Bring it here."
"yes."
The emperor glanced at the purse; it had no special patterns, just the most ordinary fabric.
However, it had a faint fragrance on it, very similar to the one he smelled on the Crown Princess at Fengyi Palace today.
The scent on this purse was very faint, almost undetectable.
"Please accept it."
"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant thanks you for the reward."
Little Yezi was clever enough that as soon as he heard that the silver was his, he immediately became grateful to the emperor.
"Does the Crown Princess have anything else to say?"
"Your Majesty, the Crown Princess is grateful for your kindness and has asked me to come back and convey her thanks to you."
Sheng Jin nodded, having nothing more to ask, and then dismissed the person.
However, there are some things that need to be said, lest he leak the news and ruin the Crown Princess's reputation.
"You know what to say outside, right?"
"Yes, this servant believes that His Majesty values the Crown Prince so much that he also values the Crown Princess to some extent."
"Yes, we also have to keep it from your master."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
As soon as Xiao Yezi left the hall, his master Bai Qing surrounded him. Although he didn't say it outright, his eyes spoke volumes.
"You little rascal, you dare to keep something from me."
"Hehe, good master, the emperor gave me a reward, and I will give it all to you as a token of my respect. Please don't be angry."
Xiao Yezi smiled, but didn't say a word that she shouldn't have.
Bai Qing clearly knew His Majesty's rules; if Xiao Yezi didn't speak, then she couldn't speak.
So she took the largest silver ingot from her purse and gave him a disdainful look.
"Alright, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't. But you'd better do what the Emperor asked you to do well, or your master won't be able to protect you."
"That's right, that's right."
Xiao Yezi nodded and bowed obsequiously, quickly pocketed the remaining loose silver from her purse, tucked it into her bosom, and then went to her post.
"Thank you, Master."
"Um."
...
After the Crown Prince returned, the Hall of Mental Cultivation had returned to peace.
Bai Qing also entered the hall to serve, not daring to look too closely, but he could sense from the atmosphere that the emperor was in a good mood.
Until His Highness the Crown Prince arrived—
"Father, I have selected some medicines that I wish to take back to the palace for the Crown Princess to use."
The prince wanted to send the medicine back as soon as possible. It was Snow Cream, Hibiscus Cream, and some other miscellaneous medicines, all of which were good medicines.
"Hibiscus Cream and Snow White Cream are both beauty and skincare remedies made from ancient medicinal herbs. You have a good eye; you've gathered all the best medicines from my private treasury."
The emperor felt no remorse at all when he thought about who would benefit from these medicines.
However, he still had to put on an act, otherwise he would be hurting that delicate girl.
"Hehe, knowing that Father Emperor dotes on his son, I accidentally took too much."
"Okay, have Xiao Yezi take the things over there, you stay and apply the medicine."
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince felt a pang of disappointment, knowing he couldn't see his sweet and gentle Crown Princess.
But there was nothing he could do; his father had spoken, and he had no choice but to obey his father's decree.
"Yes, thank you for your grace, Father. I will trouble you, Xiao Yezi."
Alas, his father refused to release him, so he had no choice but to give the medicine to Xiao Yezi to deliver to Chonghua.
I hope the Crown Princess knows that she chose the medicine herself, and that she can treat herself tonight.
Xiao Changzi naturally had to stay behind to apply the medicine for him, because his father, the Emperor, doted on him and said that the others were clumsy.
This saves him from having to refuse the palace maid's help in applying the medicine. Father Emperor is so considerate.
The prince was secretly pleased with himself, but soon he retracted his naive idea.
Because afterwards...
The father and son reviewed memorials until midnight before he finally returned home, his body soaked with the heavy dew.
well.
His father's love was too heavy; he would rather receive less attention from his father.
I wonder if the Crown Princess is asleep so late.
If he wasn't asleep, he still wanted to...
