Chapter 17: Screaming
"So, it's out of the original book's plot, so there's no need for us to worry."
The little gourd doesn't like to use its brain. It is almost becoming a screwdriver on the production line. Anyway, in each small world, it only needs to teach its owner how to use space.
Also, when the owner is in life-threatening situations and calls it, it will help.
It basically doesn't need to worry about other things, and it can complete the task in the end.
It didn't think about why, but it thought it was normal.
"You're right."
Chu Qinshu ruffled the little hair on her head and decided to have a good sleep.
She doesn't understand adult matters, so it's better for her to worry less, otherwise she won't grow taller.
"The Emperor has arrived~"
As soon as Chu Qinshu's consciousness returned to her body from space, she heard Lin Fu's unique voice.
“Ah~~Ah~~”
[The Emperor is here? I miss the Emperor so much. I want to be close to him. I want to cling to him.]
Chu Qinshu was very persistent in clinging to Emperor Yongping.
So when she heard him coming, she stretched her arms and kicked her legs on the crib to welcome him.
Seeing that she didn't cry, Yu Jinyi didn't rush to hug her, but went to pick up the car first.
"I have seen you, father. I am not in a position to stand up. I hope you will not blame me."
Chu Chengyi and Yu Jingyi were in the inner room together. Emperor Yongping couldn't go in, so he stood at the small door connecting the warm room and the inner room and stared at the couch.
"It's okay. Is your injury serious?"
Emperor Yongping frowned, feeling somewhat unhappy.
He was able to find money for disaster relief, but he couldn't defeat the bandits. As a result, he couldn't hug his granddaughter properly even though he heard her say she missed him.
"I am fine, I am sorry to trouble you, father."
Chu Chengyi's voice was weak and he sounded like he would die at any moment.
After hearing this, Emperor Yongping really began to worry about him.
As soon as the imperial doctors who were sent to treat his injuries returned to the palace, he called them all to Yu's study for questioning. They said that although he had many injuries, they were not fatal.
It's just that the wound on my face is a little bit difficult to deal with...
But he looks like he won't live long.
"Doctor Cheng, how serious is the prince's injury?"
Although Emperor Yongping had many sons, he only had one legitimate son.
He was raised by the late emperor himself, so there is no way I could let him die before me.
Otherwise, the coffin lid of the late emperor would definitely not be able to be pressed down.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's injuries are not serious. He has just lost too much blood and is weak. He will be able to recover after a few months of rest."
Doctor Cheng was also a little puzzled. The wounds on the prince's body were so severe that they drew blood, but none of them were fatal.
It's really hard for those criminals to be so skilled in knife-wielding.
And then there's the wound on his face. Chu Jun got hurt...
"In that case, you should stay in the East Palace to take care of him. You must make sure he recovers to his former health."
"Yes, I will obey the emperor's order."
Doctor Cheng had no objection to this. Whether he lived in the East Palace or not, he had to go there every day anyway.
It's convenient to stay here.
"Lin Fu, go to my private storehouse and bring more ginseng, snow lotus and other supplements to the crown prince."
Emperor Yongping looked at the prince lying on the couch with only his two eyes exposed, then turned away helplessly.
“Wow~Wow~Wow~”
Chu Qinshu waited on the crib for a long time, and when she saw that Emperor Yongping had no intention of hugging her, she burst into tears.
She just remembered that today was the first day of October, and the first and fifteenth day of every month were the days when Emperor Yongping went to the Empress's palace.
It is written in the original book that the reason why Emperor Yongping favored the empress the most was because of a kind of medicine he took when he went to the empress's palace on the first and fifteenth day of every month.
Well, it’s not right to call it medicine. The Queen said it was a health-preserving elixir that could prolong life and keep… that thing… invincible.
In fact, the medicine was made by the imperial master using mosquitoes. If the person taking it stops taking it, he will slowly lose his vitality and die within a few months.
According to the timeline of the original plot, Emperor Yongping will die in a few years, but if the medicine can be stopped earlier, his chances of survival will be greater.
Besides, she had bath water that could save him.
“Wow~Wow~Ah~Ah~”
[Your Majesty, please hug me. I want to go to the study to review memorials with you. Review so many memorials, so many that I cannot go to the harem tonight.]
"Shu'er, be good. Mother will ask the nanny to carry you to find the wet nurse."
Seeing Chu Qinshu crying sadly, Yu Jinyi picked her up and coaxed her while calling her Aunt Yao, but in her heart she was thinking about what she meant by her words.
"Why is Shu'er crying? Maybe she heard my voice and wants me to hold her. Hurry and hold her for me."
It was only natural for Emperor Yongping to show concern when he heard Chu Qinshu's crying.
At the same time, I was thinking about what she said.
Did the granddaughter also know that he didn't want to go to the Queen's Palace tonight?
The granddaughter was indeed considerate. Even her little self knew how to find excuses for him, the emperor.
Ever since he learned from his granddaughter's thoughts that the queen was hiding in the Worm Valley, he has been thinking about how to avoid going to Fengming Palace.
After all, he had seen with his own eyes the crow on the day his granddaughter was born, and the gray and white bugs on the queen's head on her third birthday.
If the Worm Valley is true, then the person behind the Queen is probably not a simple person.
As for those two green hats, I don’t know if it was because the queen hid them too well or because his people were not capable enough, but they couldn’t find any clues.
As a result, even he, the emperor, had to flatter the empress and pretend to pamper her as before.
Nanny Yao had already entered the inner room to take Chu Qinshu, but she still kept her eyes closed and her mouth open, unable to stop crying.
"Hey, little princess, please don't cry. I will carry you to see the emperor now."
Nanny Yao coaxed her while trotting to carry her out and put her into Emperor Yongping's arms as quickly as possible.
“Oh~”
"Shu'er, dear, you really miss the Emperor. How about the Emperor carrying you to the study?"
As soon as Chu Qinshu arrived in Emperor Yongping's arms, she immediately stopped crying, as if someone had pressed the pause button.
Then she continued to hold onto Emperor Yongping's clothes and refused to let go, staring at him pitifully with her big watery eyes.
Emperor Yongping was completely defenseless against this.
[Okay, okay, I want to go to the study with the emperor. I will live with the emperor tonight.]
Chu Qinshu rubbed her head against Emperor Yongping's chest, then buried herself in his arms and remained silent.
Alas, she just cried quite loudly and her voice was hoarse.
"Shu'er was attached to me, so I took her away. Crown Princess, please take good care of the Crown Prince and don't worry about Shu'er."
Emperor Yongping patted Chu Qinshu in his arms and motioned Lin Fu and Nanny Yao to take her belongings.
Yu Jinyi prepared everything for Chu Qinshu, including a baby bag.
You have to bring a small quilt, diapers, bibs, and spare clothes, even a special basin for washing your face and bathing, as well as a cup, bowl, spoon, and milk prepared in advance.
Every time they went to Yu's study, Lin Fu carried a big bag and Nanny Yao carried a big food box.
Those who didn't know would think that she was going to move into the study to live permanently.
"Yes, then I'll trouble you, Father, to take care of Shu'er."
Yu Jinyi agreed readily. After all, Chu Qinshu had been in Yu's study for half an hour every other day since she was born, so she had long been accustomed to it.
Moreover, Chu Qinshu just cried like that and said that Emperor Yongping would not be allowed to go to the Empress' Palace, so there must be danger in the Empress' Palace.
If she went to Yu's study and could really stop Emperor Yongping from going to the Empress, it would be a good thing.
"Father, Shu'er is still young. Instead of disturbing you in the study, why don't you..."
Chu Chengyi felt a little jealous. He hadn't even held his daughter in his arms yet, so how could he let someone else take her away?
"Better than what? Better than you holding her yourself? Then you should come back to the capital in one piece. You want to hold Shu'er even though you are in this state. I think it's better for her to hold you."
Emperor Yongping glared at Chu Chengyi for several times before he carried Chu Qinshu away.
Chu Chengyi: "..."
Looking at his daughter moving away, he felt a little regretful.
Why did he wrap himself up like this when he met his daughter for the first time?
If we dismantle it now, I don’t know if it will be too late?
