Chapter 60: Being spoiled and arrogant
Yun Qingshi nodded slightly guilty after hearing this and said, "I misunderstood Your Highness. I apologize."
Also, he certainly didn't want to give away used things. It was because he didn't have new ones. His current identity was just a humble secret guard, and he had no choice.
Prince Xiao, with a dignified demeanor, nodded slightly and said, "I accept your apology."
Seeing this, Yun Qingshi couldn't help but lower his eyes and cursed inwardly, "You bastard."
Just accept the apology, why be so arrogant?
After Xiao Jiwu finished chirping at the crickets, Yun Qingshi drank some tea to quench his thirst, but then he thought of something else.
He was thinking, since Xiao Jiwu already knew everything, should he also send some medicine for treating colds to Zishu Heming?
Otherwise, given Zi Shu Heming's health, he might be sick for a long time, and as the weather is getting colder, it will be difficult for him to recover.
Thinking of this, Yun Qingshi also had a plan.
He wasn't one to quit when things were going well, so Yun Qingshi took another sip of tea and spoke, "Um, Your Majesty, could you give me some more medicine for my cold?"
Prince Xiao: ...
Prince Xiao was rarely speechless. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you pushing your luck?"
Yun Qingshi replied fluently: "Because of the favor, I am arrogant. Because of the favor, I am arrogant."
Xiao Jiwu pursed his lips after hearing this. Looking at the boy's well-behaved appearance, he finally compromised once again: "Forget it, Zhao Mingde, go to the Imperial Hospital and get some cold medicine."
Moreover, the term "arrogant due to favor" sounds quite pleasant.
It’s not impossible to pamper Yingshi a little.
Zhao Mingde, who had just brought in the quilt, quickly agreed again: "Yes, I'll go right away."
Hearing this, Yun Qingshi was satisfied and lay down on the small table to rest, waiting for Zhao Mingde to come back with the medicine.
Prince Xiao looked down at the young man and couldn't help but curl his lips.
All the gloom and disappointment were swept away.
By coincidence, Yun Qingshi caught a glimpse of that fleeting smile and was instantly struck by it. He couldn't help but stare at Prince Xiao for a long time...
The young man's gaze was so intense that Xiao Jiwu couldn't help but notice it. He couldn't help but say with amusement, "Why is Eleven staring at me?"
Yun Qingshi realized his loss of composure upon hearing the voice, and then he came back to his senses, sat up, and lowered his eyes in embarrassment.
Beauty misleads, beauty misleads.
He then changed the subject: "Your Highness, I'm wondering who drugged you last night? Have you found out?"
Prince Xiao naturally understood that the young man was trying to change the subject, so he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he quickly replied, "The Emperor has already investigated and found out that everything was done by that palace maid. He has also decreed her death."
Yun Qingshi:???
Yun Qingshi was stunned by this answer.
Even he, who had no experience in solving crimes, could see that the palace maid was clearly being manipulated. How could she have done it alone?
That medicine was not something that a palace maid like her could easily get.
He didn't believe that Xiao Jiwu would not notice such an obvious flaw.
Yun Qingshi couldn't help but speak again: "Your Highness, do you want to investigate further? It's impossible that the maid alone did it. And there was also that eunuch last night. How are you going to explain it? It's obvious that someone is behind this to harm you."
Xiao Jiwu's face showed no emotion, but after listening to Yun Qingshi's words, he added, "This prince knows, but my father's words are the imperial decree, and no one can argue with them."
Yun Qingshi wasn't raised under a feudal system. He was genuinely angry when he heard this, and words of disobedience came out of his mouth. He said, "Then don't you want to resist? They're hurting you."
The question was asked subconsciously, but it was also what Yun Qingshi really thought in his heart.
He was not worried that Xiao Jiwu would do anything to him because of this. After all, Prince Xiao and the emperor were not truly loving father and son.
Xiao Jiwu was silent for a while after hearing this. After a long while, he asked a question in return. He said, "Does Eleven care about me so much?"
Yun Qingshi: ...
What kind of stupid question is this?
Yun Qingshi blinked helplessly, and then answered Prince Xiao's question in a perfunctory manner: "I care, of course I care."
After saying this, he pretended to be calm and drank another sip of tea to hide his guilty conscience.
Xiao Jiwu's eyes were slightly dark, and he quickly responded to the young man's words: "Don't worry, Eleven, I will repay the person behind this tenfold."
Yun Qingshi was satisfied after hearing this and nodded: "That's good."
Then Yun Qingshi continued to lie down and rest, while Prince Xiao picked up the Buddhist beads on the table again.
About two quarters of an hour later, Zhao Mingde came back with a big bag of medicine.
Yun Qingshi was not prepared to delay. Seeing this, he immediately went over to take the cold medicine and asked Zhao Mingde how to take the medicine. Then he picked up the new quilt and prepared to deliver it.
Prince Xiao watched the young man walk towards the door and reminded him unhappily, "Come back quickly."
Yun Qingshi paused and nodded, "I understand."
After saying that, he quickly left Jinhua Palace again.
Of course, this time he walked out the door openly.
However, Yun Qingshi still deliberately avoided people along the way, so that no one with ulterior motives would see him and bully Zishu Heming again, otherwise he would mean well but end up doing something bad.
More than a minute later, Yun Qingshi arrived at the courtyard where Zishu Heming lived again, and sure enough, he saw the master and servant waiting for him in the house.
At this time, Xiao Shitou was also trying to persuade Zishu Heming to go to bed and rest, but he obviously failed.
Seeing this, Yun Qingshi quickly entered the room and handed the quilt to Xiao Shitou: "Xiao Shitou, take it."
"Okay." Little Stone quickly took the thick quilt and thanked Yun Qingshi gratefully: "Thank you, Master Eleven."
"You're welcome." Yun Qingshi smiled and waved his hand, then placed the medicine on the table and said, "This is a cold medicine. Boil three bowls of water into one bowl of water and drink it twice a day."
After hearing this, Little Stone nodded again hurriedly: "Okay, I'll remember this."
Seeing this, Zishu Heming also stood up, looking embarrassed: "Eleven, what can I do for you if you are like this?"
Yun Qingshi quickly shook his head after hearing this: "No need for anything. I'm not doing this for any reason. Besides, your cold was caused by Prince Yi and me."
Zishu Heming no longer refused after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he took something out from the cabinet and handed it to Yun Qingshi: "This is a small thing I made. It can't compare to yours, but it's a small token of my appreciation. I hope you can accept it, Eleven."
Yun Qingshi took it when he saw it was a wooden sculpture. Then he took a curious look and found that it was a cute wooden sculpture of a tiger, which was somewhat similar to Bai Ze.
Yun Qingshi couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, I'll take it."
Seeing this, Zishu Heming also breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as Eleven doesn't mind."
Yun Qingshi shook his head again: "How could it be, it's very cute."
However, he didn't plan to stay long this time, after all, he had to return to the palace early.
So after saying goodbye to Zi Shu Heming, Yun Qingshi quickly returned to Jinhua Palace.
Sure enough, I would leave the palace as soon as he came back.
Prince Xiao had already put on his veil again and said to Yun Qingshi, "Let's go."
