She yawned, and it seemed that she had really entered the palace.
Her movement was noticed by the emperor who was not asleep to begin with. Seeing that she finally woke up, the tension in his heart finally eased.
"You're finally awake. Are you still feeling unwell? I'll call the imperial physician for you."
After hearing what he said, Rong Xi was now certain that she had indeed arrived at the palace.
Just as she was about to get up, the wound on her left shoulder, which was wrapped in gauze, began to bleed.
Although she doesn't feel any pain now, she still feels very uncomfortable.
"System, I'm complaining about your app. Didn't it reduce the pain? Why is it still so uncomfortable now?"
I have never experienced the system, so I don’t know what the discomfort Rong Xi is talking about is like.
System [Rong Xi, I will report this to the higher-ups.]
Rong Xi was feeling very thirsty now. Looking at the teacup on the table, he wanted to pour himself a glass of water. As soon as he stood up, the emperor came in with several imperial doctors.
"Rong Xi, why are you up? Tell me what you want to do and I'll help you."
Rong Xi said with difficulty, "Pour me a glass of water."
Eunuch Jinsu next to him hurried forward to pour water, but before he could leave, he saw that his Majesty had already left, so he could not help at all.
Moreover, he did not expect that the woman was so bold as to ask His Majesty to pour her water.
The emperor walked over with the water. The people beside him didn't dare to say anything, but just sat quietly by the side.
Rong Xi looked at the water coming and straightened up anxiously.
The emperor saw this and tried to persuade him, "Don't move, you're still injured. I'll bring it to you."
The water was finally brought to her, but the emperor had no intention of feeding her. Instead, he blew on it carefully.
"The water is a little hot, please wait a moment."
Rong Xi was so thirsty that he said anxiously, "I like to drink hot water. Give it to me quickly."
The emperor had no choice but to add some cold water to the drink before feeding it to her.
After drinking it, Rong Xi felt like she was finally alive. She lay lazily on the bed. Although her complexion was still not good, she felt that she was in good condition.
"Brother Ji, you haven't forgotten what you promised me, right?"
The emperor couldn't remember what she was talking about for a moment, but as he hesitated, he stepped on the lying person and refused to do it.
"No way, you really forgot? I said, big brother, look at how I was injured, and you actually forgot."
The eunuchs, ministers and palace maids waiting nearby all gasped. This woman actually spoke to the emperor in such a way. She might be beheaded.
But they were wrong. His Majesty smiled and apologized.
"Look at my memory, I remember it now, but let's put it aside for now and let the doctor take a look at your injuries first."
Rong Xi stretched out her hand very obediently, but when the doctor wanted to see her wound, she pulled the quilt to block it.
"what you do?"
"Don't be afraid, young lady. I just want to check your wound."
The emperor also realized this, but considering her injuries, he still advised: "It's okay, they are just doctors, check your injuries."
After the examination, the imperial physician stepped aside. The emperor was relieved to hear that the patient had recovered well.
After everyone left, the emperor saw Rong Xi looking at him with a scrutinizing look on his face.
"Mr. Ji, what did that man just call himself, 'Your Highness?' Tell me the truth. What exactly are you? And seeing how nice your place is, you're not really a royal relative, are you?"
The emperor straightened himself and asked, "If I were really a royal relative, what would you do?"
"I didn't do anything, but I did save the life of a royal relative, so I hope you can give me a good reward."
The emperor was speechless. Who wouldn't think of using power to rise to prominence in such a situation? But she was only thinking about money.
The look in Jiang Rongxi's eyes became more and more obvious as he looked at her. He wanted to see how bad he could be.
"Why are you wearing clothes of this color? You can't..."
"Not what?"
The emperor felt that she had guessed it this time.
"Are you some prince who wants to usurp the throne?"
Rong Xi looked as if she had really seen some secret. Before the emperor could say anything, she spoke again.
emperor:"……"
"Well, I remembered I haven't fed my cat yet, so I'll leave first."
After Rong Xi finished speaking, he stood up, as if he wanted to escape from here quickly.
The emperor was so angry at her that he laughed, "Okay, your injury hasn't healed yet, don't move. I'm not someone who wants to usurp the throne. I am the emperor of this country."
Rong Xi was silent for a moment, and the emperor thought she believed it, but the next sentence made him speechless.
"It's a good idea, but we should just keep it to ourselves. Don't tell anyone about it, or you'll kill your entire clan. I still have to get up and feed the cat."
"Just stop moving. How can you convince me that I'm the emperor?"
"Which emperor is constantly being hunted down and injured, and always living in someone else's house? And which emperor would be so stingy? Just give me a hundred taels. I'm worth a hundred taels for saving your life."
The emperor touched his nose a little embarrassedly. Given the situation at that time, he really didn't have much silver bills on him.
"Jinsu."
Eunuch Jinsu had been waiting outside for a long time and he heard their entire conversation. It made sense that the woman didn't know the emperor's identity.
"The servant is here."
"Go and get my imperial seal."
"This... His Majesty's Imperial Seal is..."
"go!"
“Hey!”
Soon, Eunuch Jinsu brought the jade seal and gently opened the bright yellow box, revealing a jade seal carved from a precious jade.
The jade seal was crystal clear, warm and smooth, and emitted a faint glow.
Nine lifelike dragons are carved above the jade seal. They are entwined and playful with each other, and each has a unique expression and movement.
Below the jade seal is a square seal surface, which is engraved with dense text and patterns.
"Now you can be trusted."
The emperor believed it by looking at her expression, but she looked serious as she didn't say anything because she was the one who scared him.
"You are my savior. I will satisfy you with whatever reward you desire."
Rong Xi swallowed and spoke nervously.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. Well, saving a life is better than making a life... No, it is my honor to save Your Majesty. Rewards are unnecessary."
What the emperor was most worried about was seeing her talking to him with such a distant and frightened expression, which would make their relationship extremely restrained and unnatural.
In comparison, the emperor preferred her previous appearance, which appeared timid and cowardly on the surface, but was actually full of courage and bravery, and always had a hint of cunning cleverness.
Rong Xi did not leave the palace after all. After all, she was injured and the emperor would not let her go back.
Her reason was to go back and feed the cat, but in less than an hour, Qixi was taken to the palace.
