Yun Duoduo looked at Yun Yishu carefully. Her third brother seemed to have gotten fatter than before.
Logically speaking, if Consort De had controlled his diet and prevented him from eating without restraint, even if he didn't lose weight, he wouldn't have gained so much weight.
She looked again at the empty plates in the basket—more than a dozen empty plates of pastries. For an eight-year-old child to eat so much was indeed a bit too much.
[How can my third brother eat so much?!]
Yun Duoduo looked at Yun Yishu with suspicion, wondering if her brother was some kind of glutton. At this moment, Yun Yishu, who had finished eating, noticed Jin Zhuangzhuang next to Yun Duoduo.
"Hey, is this Zhuangzhuang? I almost didn't recognize him!" Yun Yishu pinched Jin Zhuangzhuang's cheek with his greasy hands that had just eaten pastries.
"Zhuangzhuang isn't as ugly as before! She's become much fairer and fatter. It seems the food at Fu Shuang Palace is quite good!" Yun Yishu stared at the little girl. The last time he saw her, she had wrinkled, sallow skin and her eyes were as small as slits. Now she seems to have grown up a bit.
He doesn't drool anymore, and he seems to have become much smarter.
He looked at Yun Duoduo again; his younger sister was exquisitely beautiful, fair and delicate, like a porcelain doll.
My sister is prettier! Much prettier than this little guy's sister!
My sister is like a fairy descended from heaven!
Listening to Yun Yishu's inner thoughts, Yun Duoduo thought, "Oh my god, how come this is being compared to my sister?!"
[This is probably what makes my brother happy!]
"Duoduo, your brother has gone back first. He sneaked out and will surely get a beating if Mother finds out!"
"You'd better grow up quickly!" After saying that, he kissed Yun Duoduo's soft little face, picked up the basket, and climbed out the window.
[Sobbing, my third brother actually risked his life to come see her, I'm so touched!]
[But next time, if you're going to kiss her, could you please wipe the oil and drool from your lips first?]
[The steamed cheese with sugar smells so good! Third brother, please bring more next time!]
Jin Jinzhi heard the sound of the window being opened, went in to see what was happening, and saw that Yun Yishu had already left. She then looked down at the two little ones on the bed.
"Why is your face so dirty from eating?" Jin Jinzhi frowned and took out a handkerchief to wipe Yun Duoduo's face.
[Waaaaah, it's not that she's unclean, it was my third brother who did it!]
...
At noon, Yun Yibo woke up, rubbed his eyes, and looked at Xiaobai sleeping beside him.
"Little White, why did you sleep for so long today?" He poked Little White's soft body, somewhat puzzled, as the little guy was usually very lively.
He would always be woken up by it when he went to sleep, but this time, Yun Yibo poked Xiaobai several times in a row, and Xiaobai did not move at all.
"noob?"
"noob?!"
He poked it several more times, but Xiaobai didn't move. Yun Yibo panicked. He jumped off the bed, hugged the little white dog, and cried out, "Xiaobai, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"
He frantically held Xiaobai, not knowing what to do.
Just as he was feeling completely lost, he suddenly remembered what the imperial physician had said that morning: that Prince Ning could cure cats and dogs. [Go find Prince Ning!]
"Where does Prince Ning reside?" Yun Yibo asked, grabbing someone randomly from inside Zhaoyang Palace.
"I heard it's at Langyue Pavilion near Zichen Palace."
【Langyue Pavilion!】
Like an arrow released from a bow, Yun Yibo carried Xiaobai and ran towards Langyue Pavilion.
"Your Highness, please put on your cloak, or you'll catch a cold!" the palace maid shouted, craning her neck. Seeing the prince run off without looking back, she quickly put down her broom and went to report to Empress Zhaoyuan.
"Your Majesty, the First Prince has gone to see Prince Ning!"
"What do you want with Prince Ning?" Empress Zhaoyuan put down her handkerchief and teacup.
"The eldest prince is still holding Little White in his arms."
"Could something really have happened to that dog?" She took a sip of tea.
"When the eldest prince ran out, he was very anxious, and the little dog was completely still."
"I understand. Fine, I'll go there too."
...
Inside Langyue Pavilion, Yun Beiming was fiddling with herbs and spice packets, thinking about making a fragrant sachet for his little niece to wear.
Just as he was pondering the dosage of various spices, he heard a palace servant shouting loudly at the door, "Your Highness, may I go in and inform Your Highness!"
The man chased after the eldest prince, but dared not actually hurt him.
As they chased, they arrived right in front of Prince Ning.
"Your Highness, I am incompetent and failed to stop the First Prince." The guard bowed his head in shame.
Yun Beiming glanced at the guard beside him, his personal attendant who had served him for many years. "It's alright, you may leave now."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Yibo, what's wrong?" Prince Ning, Yun Beiming, looked at the young man in front of him with a kind and gentle expression.
The eldest prince looked surprised. "Third Uncle, you still remember my name?"
Even his father didn't remember his name, but his third uncle did. Yun Yibo was both surprised and delighted.
"Of course I remember. You are my first nephew. You've grown quite a bit taller over the years." Yun Beiming put down what he was holding and looked at him seriously.
"What brings you here?" When Yun Yibo came in, Yun Beiming noticed that he looked very anxious, as if he had something urgent to tell him.
"Ah, yes, yes, Third Imperial Uncle, my little white dog has been sleeping for a long time and hasn't woken up yet. Third Imperial Uncle, please take a look at it for me. Is it dead?!" Yun Yibo was full of anxiety, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Don't rush, let me take a look."
"Sit here and calm down, have some tea." Yun Beiming took the little white dog from Yun Yibo's arms, placed it on the table, and examined it carefully.
Yun Yibo watched as he would sometimes ask the puppy about its smell, sometimes check its mouth, and sometimes rub its eyes.
"How is it?" Yun Yibo asked cautiously, nervously swallowing and frowning, afraid that his third uncle would say something he couldn't bear.
"Luckily you arrived in time. If you had been any later, the little dog would have been dead!" Yun Beiming gently patted the little white dog's head to comfort it.
"Little White, what's wrong? I haven't fed it anything!" Yun Yibo panicked.
"This is poisoning."
"Poisoned?!" Yun Yibo was very surprised.
"There's a poison called Ruojianhua. Ruojianhua was originally a spice, but inhaling too much of it can cause hallucinations, and a larger dose can be fatal," Yun Beiming explained patiently, while rummaging through the spice and medicine cabinet.
"You little rascal, you must have accidentally inhaled this fragrance sometime during the day. Cats and dogs are less tolerant of harmful substances than humans, so even if a small amount wouldn't affect a human, it could be fatal to a cat or dog."
