This is bad!
Li Tiao belatedly realized that she had "night blindness"!
Now I finally understand why the Fourth Prince insisted on staying here!
In her panic, Li Tiao disregarded everything else, quickly glanced at the general layout of the room in the darkness, and then pretended not to see anything.
Because she had observed beforehand, Li Tiao accurately knocked over the chair.
Seeing that the chair was about to tip over towards the Fourth Prince, Li Tiao realized that even if she was acting, she had to consider her own and the Fourth Prince's identities.
According to her own persona, she should be afraid of the Fourth Prince, and shouldn't resort to such underhanded revenge against him.
So, in the split second before the chair was about to tip over toward the Fourth Prince, Li Tiao pretended to fall in the direction of the Fourth Prince as well, and for safety, she grabbed the chair.
In such a short time, Li Tiao thought she was a genius for being able to move so precisely!
But even geniuses have their moments of weakness. She grabbed the chair and fell, but while sitting on the ground, she bumped into the Fourth Prince.
The height at which she was sitting on the ground was somewhat strange compared to the height at which the Fourth Prince was standing...
Before Li Tiao could even admire her own genius, she heard the Fourth Prince hiss, and then noticed that he quickly bent over and sat on the edge of the bed.
Just as Li Tiao was about to ask the Fourth Prince what was wrong, her reaction time circled around the globe and finally came back!
Li Tiao, who had never eaten pork but had seen pigs run, remembered the spot where she had just bumped her head...
In the darkness, she no longer bothered to hide her night blindness; her hands gripping the stool were covered in sweat.
He was trembling like a leaf; this man already seemed...incapable...
If I were to crash even more badly, then...
Li Tiao was both embarrassed and frightened: "Master, this servant..."
In her panic, Li Tiao didn't notice that her voice had a hint of coquettish grievance.
The Fourth Prince, who was already covered in cold sweat, felt a mix of extremes upon hearing Li Tiao's voice. He didn't care about anything else, stood up and walked out, slamming the door shut behind him.
Li Tiao closed her eyes and shrank her neck, just as she was about to stand up, the door suddenly opened again, and Li Tiao slowed down her movement to stand up.
Then Li Tiao felt the Fourth Prince rush to her side like a gust of wind, grab her arm and pull her up from the ground, as if carrying something, and lift her to the edge of the bed.
After Li Tiao sat down, before she could even say thank you, the Fourth Prince took his court robe and left.
Finally, the door slammed shut again, and after a long silence, Li Tiao lay down to go to sleep.
Day after day, she thought to herself how lucky she was to have a strong heart, otherwise she would have been scared to death.
Even with a strong heart, one can't be scared like this every day, and Li Tiao's determination to run away became even stronger.
She had previously thought that pretending to drown was a good idea, but now she had another idea: since she was "night blind," she would find a chance to go out at night and never come back.
It's normal that a "blind man" can't come back.
Even if he didn't return from the palace, he could still not return to the princes' quarters; ultimately, he was still in the Forbidden City.
Li Tiao wanted to be patient a little longer. Emperor Kangxi had already ordered that the Fourth Prince be given a separate residence, and it would be much easier for him to leave the residence than to leave the palace.
Before falling asleep, Li Tiao encouraged herself to just endure it a little longer.
And then, as usual, I prayed to all the gods, hoping that the Fourth Prince wouldn't get into any real trouble because of his unintentional bump.
Just as Chunxi was drifting off to sleep, Chunxi knocked on the door.
After a moment of dazed surprise, Li Tiao called out, "Come in."
"My lord, the imperial physician has come to take your pulse. Would you like to tidy up and get up first, or should I lower the curtains for you?"
Li Tiao was puzzled: "The imperial physician is taking my pulse? I'm perfectly fine, why is he taking my pulse?"
"It was the imperial physician appointed by the master."
Li Tiao, who was stretching, suddenly slowed down and looked at Chunxi in disbelief.
After a moment, Li Tiao asked, "What else did the master say?"
"The master didn't say anything. The court hasn't ended yet. It was Eunuch Su who instructed me to make sure the imperial physician takes your pulse."
Li Tiao panicked a little; she didn't know if pulse diagnosis could detect night blindness.
Even if one could diagnose it by taking the pulse, it would still be considered a rare and difficult case, and it was uncertain whether even the imperial physicians could diagnose it.
Another question is whether the imperial physician is aware of the condition that causes some people to be unable to see at night.
If he knew, that would be fine, but if he didn't, then Li Tiao would have to rack her brains to fool the Fourth Prince, which would be a bit of a headache.
However, it seems that Li Tiao has no way out now.
"However, Master, the Master asked me a strange question during the morning court session this day?"
Li Tiao looked at Chunxi: "What did you say?"
"Master asked me, when I was serving you at night, did I notice anything unusual about you?"
Li Tiao wasn't too surprised; what she was concerned about was, "How did you reply?"
"This servant doesn't know what you mean, sir. I'll just say that there's nothing wrong with you. After you went to bed last night, you told me to go and rest too. What could possibly happen to you while you're sleeping?"
"That's right!" Li Tiao felt much relieved. She could understand that the Fourth Prince didn't believe in her.
After all, even without this incident, he still harbored thoughts of killing him.
As I said before, if you're going to act, you have to get your tone right and pretend to be very wronged and innocent.
So Li Tiao said to Chunxi, "Go and tell the imperial physician that I am still resting. There is a difference between men and women, so it is not appropriate for the imperial physician to see the prince when he is not here. Tell the imperial physician to wait until the prince has finished court and returned to his residence."
