After finishing his meal, Di Junlan went to his own courtyard. He felt that he should become stronger. Although Murong Jin had power now, his health was failing.
"An Kesen".
"Your Majesty, what's wrong now? You just spent the afternoon in the Regent's study, why do you look like something's wrong as soon as you come back?"
"How should one nourish the body for someone who is physically weak? You should go to the Imperial Hospital and have them create a dietary therapy plan. It should be something that is good for the body and has no side effects, but not too nourishing either."
Ankesen looked completely bewildered. "Oh, I'll go ask right away."
After he left the palace, he was startled. Why was His Majesty suddenly getting involved in some kind of dietary therapy? And for whom?
His Majesty himself?
He's not sick...
Regent?
That's possible.
...
Murong Jin sat in the pool taking a bath, while Yi Er and Yi Yi stood guard outside. One of the reasons why the Regent's Palace was so heavily guarded was to prevent anyone from discovering their master's identity.
"Yi-yi, what kind of person do you think Master's future spouse will be?"
He remained expressionless: "A dragon among men."
Yi Er chuckled, "I think so too."
The reason they were made to obey their master was most likely because the young man risked his life to rescue them, then led them out of the encirclement, turning that small cavalry force of only a few dozen men into a brave and skilled general.
Even as they knelt to receive their master's orders, the boy's cold voice could still be heard: "Even if I, the general, were a woman, would you still obey?"
The old prince never revealed the young master's identity, but the person who saved them revealed his only secret.
How could they not be shocked and obey?
Yi Er heard the sounds coming from inside and went to get something from Murong Jin. Yi Yi did the same, leaving two guards standing there.
Actually, they weren't really worried, just being cautious. But now they had something to do, so they left. They didn't need to worry about anything happening to the people inside, especially since their master had recovered, which made them even more at ease.
Murong Jin sat in the hot water, taking a bath.
With her eyes closed, she let her long hair float in the water, reached out and splashed the water, which flowed down her cheeks and finally fell into the hollow of her collarbone...
Then, he slightly opened his eyes, reached out, and a gust of air pulled the outer robe from the opposite rack. As he put it on, he looked towards a certain doorway.
Yi Er and his men wouldn't just come in casually. Even if they weren't guarding outside, the guards wouldn't dare to enter rashly. So, someone who entered so rudely...
She thought of a certain childish brat who was temporarily staying in the Prince's mansion.
Emperor Junlan only wanted to ask Murong Jin a question. The guards outside didn't think anything of it, only that they needed to announce it, so they opened the door and went in.
"Your Majesty! Please allow me to report this."
When the sound came from outside, Murong Jin was already leaning against the edge of the pool. Although she had put on her outer robe, it was completely soaked...
As for certain parts, the clothes had been designed in a way that wasn't hard to spot, the only problem was... she found a gap where she wasn't wearing underwear or trousers...
When Di Junlan entered, he didn't know that this was where Murong Jin was bathing. As he turned the corner behind the screen, he saw the person sitting in the water, especially with her eyes closed... Her hair was still wet, with water droplets running down her back...
Di Junlan looked at her fair yet slightly rosy cheeks, causing his pupils to shrink slightly.
How did I come in and see this scene... especially with Murong Jin wearing an outer robe...
"Regent...I..." He didn't mean to come in...but before he could finish speaking, he heard, "Your Majesty, if you don't mind, may I be helped up?"
His gaze fell on the person who had opened her eyes, her eyes filled with moisture. This was the first time Di Junlan had seen such a beautiful and alluring Murong Jin, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
"good."
Di Junlan walked over, grabbed Murong Jin's hand, and then picked her up in a princess carry...
Murong Jin's wheelchair was right next to him. What Di Junlan was thinking was whether it was his subordinates who picked up Murong Jin and put him in the wheelchair every time he took a bath like this.
He felt a pang of sadness in his heart, though he didn't understand why.
The thought that others might see Murong Jin like this, especially since she might be naked... Murong Jin, completely exposed by her subordinates...
A hint of crimson flashed in his eyes, but Di Junlan gently and calmly placed the person into the wheelchair.
Murong Jin glanced at him sideways, wondering what he was thinking, but she didn't think anything of it.
Di Junlan looked at the feet beneath his robes... and felt that these were not the feet of a grown man... they were far too small... and too light to hold, unlike a man's body...
But his height is a fact. He wasn't even as tall as Murong Jin last year, but now he's grown quite a bit and is the same height as Murong Jin.
"Your Majesty, may I be escorted away?"
Emperor Junlan's mind was filled with images of Murong Jin's petite feet. "Oh."
How can a man's feet be so beautiful?
But I still have some doubts, and how can it be so small? It feels like I could hold it in one hand...
Pooh.
Then he shook off that thought.
What was he thinking about on the sidelines just now?
