Ah Hao was slightly taken aback, then realized that His Majesty was asking the Grand Preceptor a question.
She immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, in my opinion, the Grand Preceptor has simply caught a cold and is otherwise fine."
Cold?
This was an epidemic she had never heard of before.
Oh no, is that person really going to die?
Murong Yue gently touched her chest, her expression solemn and puzzled.
Since I gained a heartbeat, that strange and unfamiliar feeling has become increasingly intense!
Is this what is meant by the emotion that arises when you "worry" about someone?
It surged into her heart like a surging tide, making Murong Yue involuntarily worry about Li Xuanji.
Since entering this human base, the people I've had the most frequent contact with are Ahao, Li Xuanji, and Qi Yuan.
Ah-hao always listened to her and took great care of her.
Li Xuanji would often watch over her silently. Whenever she went to court, she felt incredibly at ease as long as he and Ahao were by her side. She felt that Li Xuanji was like a very reliable elder.
As for Qi Yuan, he was responsible for protecting his own safety.
Murong Yue had a basic understanding of these three important figures.
However, at this moment, she was immersed in this unprecedented and novel experience, savoring this unique feeling.
After a long pause, she suddenly turned around and said, "Take me to see this."
The honor guard marched in a grand procession toward the Imperial Hospital.
The people in Baoguang Hall were left staring at each other in disbelief.
The atmosphere in the Imperial Hospital was heavy, with the Grand Preceptor lying pale on his bed.
Physician Liu carefully took the pulse, his mind already in turmoil.
The Imperial Preceptor was a physician himself, and in some aspects his medical skills were even better than Physician Liu's, yet such a master had fallen.
Could it be poisoning again?
"His Majesty has arrived!"
No way!
Now Physician Liu was even more nervous.
He wanted to get up and bow to Murong Yue, but when he met Murong Yue's cold gaze, he held back, as business was more important.
I had just felt the pulse and was about to switch to the Grand Preceptor's other hand to take the pulse again, in order to confirm the diagnosis.
Then another announcement was heard.
"The Third Princess of Yue has arrived—"
Well...
What brings this princess from Yue here?
Xiao Yuanshuang was also taken aback when she saw Murong Yue. Her eyes darted around, and a plan came to her mind. She stepped forward and bowed.
"His Majesty."
"I heard that Lord Xuanji fainted, so I came here to visit him."
What?!
Everyone smelled a strong aroma of tea, except for Murong Yue.
What is the meaning of "Master Xuanji"?
Couldn't you just call me Lord Li or Grand Preceptor? What the heck is "Lord Xuanji"?!
It makes it seem like you two have a really good relationship.
Xiao Yuanshuang bowed slightly and addressed the crowd, especially Murong Yue, saying, "Yesterday, Lord Xuanji was enjoying the moon and drinking wine at Wangyue Tower when he was caught in the wind and snow."
This time, everyone turned to look at her.
What does that mean?
Are you there?
Or did you drink with the Imperial Advisor?
Xiao Yuanshuang had a smile on her lips, and a hint of shyness on her face.
Everyone: ...
Xiao Yuanshuang perfectly embodies the term "green tea" and has unique insights into the art of speaking.
She knew that honesty was the foundation of her character, but she also understood when and where to selectively reveal information, and in what way and in what order.
This kind of subtle grasp is not something everyone can do.
When questioned by others, Xiao Yuanshuang never lies easily. However, she will cleverly change the narrative perspective or emphasize different details, leaving a completely different impression on people.
Unfortunately, these words were like casting pearls before swine.
Murong Yue couldn't understand; her attention was entirely on Physician Liu, and she was unusually worried. "Will he die?"
Well...
After completing his diagnosis, Physician Liu quickly rose and bowed. "Your Majesty," he said, "the Grand Preceptor's illness is due to a sudden cold. I only need to prescribe a few doses of medicine for him to take and sweat it out, and he will recover."
Finally, as if by some strange twist of fate, he added, "...I won't die."
Okay, okay.
Murong Yue didn't understand anything else, except for the last sentence.
That's enough.
Remembering the last time she rewarded this person, she coughed lightly and turned to Ah Hao, "Reward him."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
So, inexplicably, Physician Liu received another reward, but this time there was no silver in it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Physician Liu, along with the people from the Imperial Hospital, knelt down to express their gratitude.
Standing to the side, Xiao Yuanshuang witnessed this scene and was extremely envious.
If one day I were to truly ascend the throne of Empress, would I also receive the kneeling worship of countless people as I do now?
Thinking of this, she involuntarily narrowed her eyes, completely immersed in a beautiful fantasy.
In this world, being a woman may bring many inconveniences, but it also brings many advantages.
For example, her soft body, her gentle and tender nature, and moreover, she herself was a beautiful princess.
She couldn't help but imagine how, if she became empress, she would use her wisdom and strategy to deal with various complex political situations and challenges, and make the people of her country worship her.
She suppressed her wildly beating heart, touched her face, and stepped forward. "Your Majesty, I have nothing to do today, so I will take care of Lord Xuanji."
Xiao Yuanshuang's voice rang out at an inopportune moment.
It's obvious to everyone that Sima Zhao is up to no good. The Grand Preceptor has his own page, so why would he need you?
