Chapter 403 What brings you here?
At dawn, an unidentified little bird by the water chirped incessantly, like the prelude to a symphony, before being joined by the melodious calls of many other birds.
This refreshing and melodious natural chorus fills one with a sense of vibrant life.
Unlike the large ships on the Queen's side, where they had to look far to see the water, these medium-sized ships here could see the churning water as soon as they looked down.
The water was shrouded in mist in the morning, as if covered by a thin veil, or as if one were in the clouds.
Daiyu stretched, and Xueyan and Zijuan, who heard the noise, came over quietly to help her get up.
"Did Granny go there again this morning?" Daiyu asked with some concern.
“Mr. Yuan went there at dawn. Today, the Tenth Prince is accompanying the Emperor to meet with officials, so he cannot be disrespectful,” Xueyan said while combing Daiyu’s hair.
Daiyu felt her good mood had been dampened, and murmured to herself,
"It's still me who's dragging Granny down."
The ship had been sailing for several days, but Daiyu didn't feel like she was returning to Yangzhou; it felt more like she was on official business.
Because she has to get up early and go to bed late every day, it's much harder than when she was in school.
Every day when they arrived at the ferry, they had to help the Empress deal with the families of officials who were specially ordered to board the boats along the riverbank.
In addition, there is the unpredictable Tenth Prince.
He kept an eye on her for days, insisting that his illness stemmed from Daiyu, and shamelessly begged Daiyu to bring him snacks every day.
Daiyu also had someone bring some food made in the ship's kitchen. He tasted it immediately and could tell it was different. Although he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different, it just didn't taste right.
Daiyu felt that the Tenth Prince was being unreasonable, but the Empress was happy to see it happen.
Watching Daiyu and the Tenth Prince bicker every day, the Empress found it so amusing that she stopped reading books altogether and instead focused on watching the sequels.
Daiyu was so annoyed that she finally left a letter for Yuan Hongqu in her space when she went to bed at night. She was not one to back down easily.
Then, the next day when they arrived at the ferry, Yuan Hongqu came over. No one knows how she negotiated with the Empress, but the Empress finally put Daiyu back on the boat at the girls' academy.
That night on the boat near the academy, Daiyu had the most comfortable sleep she had on the entire journey.
Since the rooms had been arranged in advance, and there were no extra rooms available when Daiyu arrived midway, she stayed with Yuan Hongqu.
Yuan Hongqu's room was the best accommodation on the ship, and even if Daiyu moved in with her, it wouldn't be crowded.
However, Zijuan, Xueyan, and Lansu, who followed behind, simply squeezed in with the maids.
Daiyu, who lived with Yuan Hongqu, felt completely at home.
If I find the bed too hard and uncomfortable at night, I go to sleep in my online space.
If you find the food on the ship too bland, you can easily switch to food produced in the space.
During the day, you can also read with your classmates at the academy. Students with common interests always have a lot to talk about.
They even compared the advantages and disadvantages of this southern tour with their previous trip to the grasslands.
Daiyu finally felt a sense of excitement about returning home, while Yuan Hongqu found the matters at hand somewhat troublesome.
If she had only suspected before that the Tenth Prince had been taken into the space by Daiyu in a moment of panic, causing him to fake his death once, which was why he had these aftereffects after coming out.
At this point, she was quite certain that the Tenth Prince's incontinence was indeed related to their space.
A few days ago, she took Daiyu away from the Empress's ship. Without the wonderful drama of her two young children bickering every day, the Empress found it very boring.
After Daiyu went to the academy on the boat, the Tenth Prince had felt better, but now he has returned to his original state.
After the Tenth Prince cried in front of her, the Empress finally asked Yuan Hongqu for help.
The Tenth Prince blamed Daiyu for the situation, but Yuan Hongqu didn't want Daiyu to take the blame, so she had no choice but to take over the task of treating the Tenth Prince's incontinence by regulating his body and curing his tear incontinence.
So many imperial physicians had failed to cure him, and Yuan Hongqu didn't think she had the ability to cure him either.
Yuan Hongqu knew that with her mediocre medical skills, making a medicinal meal was easy, but when it came to actually treating illnesses, she could only rely on the good medicinal herbs in her space.
The rare and precious treasures produced in this space are all extraordinary, so there's no need to use specific remedies. As long as you use enough of them, the effects are quite remarkable.
Yuan Hongqu felt that with these convenient cheating tools, she herself had become much lazier.
Strangely, however, these medications did not seem to have any effect on the Tenth Prince's symptoms.
However, after consuming a large amount of products from the space, the Tenth Prince reduced the frequency of his tear incontinence.
Yuan Hongqu initially thought this wasn't a big problem; she figured the ginseng hydrosol from the space would cure her ailment quickly. But this time, she was in trouble.
The Tenth Prince drank the ginseng hydrosol three times a day for three days, but the effect was not obvious at all.
But whenever Yuan Hongqu was in front of the Tenth Prince, no matter how wronged the Tenth Prince felt, he would hold back his tears, which were about to well up.
It won't work at other times.
Ever since he discovered this, he would bring Yuan Hongqu along on important occasions. If he couldn't hold back his tears, he would just look up at Yuan Hongqu and feel the tears "frighten" back.
He was truly frightened and felt that he dared not shed any tears in front of Yuan Hongqu.
Sometimes the Tenth Prince wondered if he had recovered, but when Yuan Hongqu wasn't around, he would still burst into tears as usual.
He can cry his eyes out over the smallest, most insignificant things.
Although he benefited a lot from this, it wasn't what he wanted!
In the evening, Yuan Hongqu dragged her tired steps back to the ship, and as soon as she stepped onto the deck, she felt dizzy.
She closed her eyes to calm herself, but when she opened them, she realized that she was not on the deck at all.
This appears to be a barren mountain, completely bare, with nothing but scattered rocks and withered grass.
She had encountered many strange sights, so she was not afraid of this.
However, when she looked up and saw the two people playing chess not far away, Yuan Hongqu found it somewhat amusing.
There really are two such people.
A lame Taoist priest and a bald-headed monk.
"Two great masters, you brought me here, is there anything you wish to instruct me on?"
Yuan Hongqu had no idea how capable these two were, that they could create such an illusion and trap her inside.
However, no matter how powerful they were, Yuan Hongqu sensed that the space was not affected in any way, so they were actually helpless against her.
“Indeed, it is blessed by heaven and earth,” the bald-headed monk suddenly said.
Yuan Hongqu sneered, "Of course I know that Heaven and Earth have treated me well. What brings you two here?"
