Yi Chenli wanted to see what tricks this chubby little guy could pull.
The note was made of ordinary Xuan paper. It must have been slipped in by Yuan Gun Gun while he was painting that day. There must have been something he couldn't say directly that day, so he slipped it into the easel.
Yi Chenli looked at it and saw that Yuan Gungun's handwriting was crooked and ugly, far inferior to her drawing skills.
But Yi Chenli recognized all the characters at a glance.
[Little Yi Chenli, can I be your friend? An Yuan'er, the cutest, prettiest, smartest, kindest...and most well-behaved fairy in all of Shengjing, is extending an invitation to you~~~~]
Although he didn't see Yuan Gun Gun write these words with his own eyes, Yi Chenli could imagine how cute and playful Yuan Gun Gun must have been when he wrote them.
His heart started pounding wildly again, almost bursting out of his chest, and all the blood in his body seemed to be flowing backward. After injuring his leg, everyone avoided him like the plague, so why would a foolish girl like An Yuan'er rush headlong into his arms?
Yi Chenli murmured, "Where is the cutest, prettiest, and smartest little fairy...? She's clearly the dumbest and silliest chubby meatball in all of Shengjing. Oh! And a meatball that's about to die of illness."
"Why can't she stay far away from him? Why does she have to..."
That night, the lights in Chenyang Palace remained on all night, and the young Yi Chenli couldn't sleep. A round, chubby creature kept appearing in his dreams, clamoring to be his friend.
The night is very long!
And being round and chubby is really annoying!

As the sun rose in the early morning, Eunuch Li, as usual, took his toiletries into the room.
"Oh? Master, you were here last night?"
Li Gui discovered that Yi Lichen was still in the same position as when he left last night, sitting in a wheelchair, and the bed showed no signs of having been moved.
Yi Chenli didn't answer Li Gui, but instead asked, "That painting?"
"It's already been put back on the easel."
"Um!"
After washing up, Yi Chenli did not, as usual, immediately ask Li Gui to leave.
"Go and get the contents of the third box on the right side of my bedside table."
The box was carved with layers of patterns and inlaid with dazzling gemstones. When Li Gui opened the box, there was only a small bottle inside.
"Master, what do you mean by this?"
"Find a way to deliver the items to the An family. Remember not to reveal that the items came from my side. Just say that Miss An is blessed with good fortune and has received a divine medicine."
Li Gui's expression changed drastically, and he knelt down heavily: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed! This life-extending medicine was left to you by the Empress before her death; it can cure all diseases. You are already in dire straits; this medicine will surely be of use. How can you just give it away like this?"
"No need for further words, just do it."
These few simple words are an undeniable affirmation.
Although the master is young, he is a man of his own mind, and no one can change the decisions he makes.
Li Gui pleaded finally, "Then at least let Master An know that he has received your kindness. He is grateful for your great favor, and there will always be ways to help him in the future."
"No need!"
Yi Chenli didn't give Li Gui a chance to say more, and directly pushed the wheelchair into the inner room, indicating that he should not disturb them.
Li Gui sighed deeply at the door. His master's thoughts were becoming increasingly difficult to fathom.
He gripped the life-saving medicine in the bottle so tightly that he almost crushed it.
The Empress had asked for this medicine a few years ago, but the master refused to give it to her. Now, it's been given to Miss An Si just like that.
Miss An is truly blessed!
