Xiao Yuanshuang composed herself, but the blisters on her face from the burns had just been popped by Physician Liu that morning.
Now her face is covered with several bloody pits, and coupled with her smile, it looks a bit frightening at first glance.
"Your Majesty, this medicine must be extremely precious, could you perhaps..."
Xiao Yuanshuang hesitated, which made Murong Yue frown.
Forget it, I guess I'm just not cut out to be a good person.
Murong Yue turned around abruptly and was about to leave.
Xiao Yuanshuang dared not be presumptuous and quickly said, "Your Majesty, my second brother's injuries are quite serious, and... his very essence has been damaged. Could we give him this medicine first?"
As she spoke, her face turned red at a visible speed.
He even deliberately turned his injured half of his face toward Murong Yue.
Xiao Yuanshuang knew that Murong Yue would not visit Xiao Yuanche, and that Xiao Yuanche, in his current state, would certainly not allow the Empress to go.
So the extent of her injuries was ultimately up to her and the imperial physician.
Besides, she wasn't wrong. According to the imperial physician, Xiao Yuanche had indeed injured his manhood.
It's not too serious, and it should heal in about a month.
Murong Yue was somewhat dazed; had her fundamental health been damaged?
Is Xiao Yuanche a tree? No wonder I don't like him.
I'm a carnivore, okay.
He was actually a tree... and then he suffered a huge fire, which was truly tragic.
But what does that have to do with me?
Ah Hao, standing to the side, looked unhappy. How could His Majesty understand? She immediately stepped forward and said, "Third Princess, our Majesty knows more than you do."
"The Second Prince's condition will be treated by the imperial physicians."
“Hmm,” Murong Yue didn’t give Xiao Yuanshuang a chance to speak at all, “Here’s the medicine, remember to drink it.”
It would be a waste not to drink the food you've worked so hard to prepare.
These words, however, had a different meaning in Xiao Yuanshuang's ears.
Could it really be because the grain for the trade is about to arrive, and she and her foolish second brother are injured? Is Murong Yue scared?
Seeing that Murong Yue was about to leave again, she stood up despite the pain.
"Your Majesty," her voice trembled with a deliberate sob, "I..."
Murong Yue turned around and looked at her coldly. She had been kind enough to bring her medicine, so why was she making such a fuss?
"explain."
Xiao Yuanshuang took a deep breath. She knew that this was almost her only chance. She hadn't been able to speak to Murong Yue for so long.
If you miss this opportunity, you never know when the next chance will come.
Never mind, success or failure hinges on this.
"Your Majesty, I have long admired the Imperial Advisor Li Xuanji. For the sake of peace between our two countries, I am willing to marry the Imperial Advisor Li Xuanji."
To prevent the Qing Kingdom from using a substitute to deceive people, she specifically mentioned the Imperial Advisor Li Xuanji twice.
At that moment, her blood was boiling, and all she could hear was the pounding of her heart.
Their fingers unconsciously clenched tightly.
Huh?
Huh?
Everyone was startled, speechless, and couldn't believe their ears.
This is the third princess of Yue and the Grand Preceptor?
When did this happen?
Some people think the Third Princess is overthinking things, while others think the Grand Preceptor is quite lucky, since the Third Princess of Yue is also a beauty.
Ignoring the surprised looks from others, Xiao Yuanshuang stared intently at Murong Yue.
The key to this matter lies with Murong Yue and Li Xuanji.
If you can win over Murong Yue, you've already succeeded halfway.
But Murong Yue had no idea what 'admiration' or 'marriage' meant.
Looking at Xiao Yuanshuang's longing eyes, could it be that she wants to serve Li Xuanji?
Indeed, it's true that Li Xuanji only had one young page by his side all day long, which was far too few.
Are you sure?
Murong Yue felt that she should still ask, since Xiao Yuanshuang was from another base and it wasn't appropriate for her to serve as a servant to her teacher.
But if the other party insists, it's not impossible.
Although this request is a little bit excessive.
Xiao Yuanshuang was overjoyed. "I'm sure!"
"Oh, then go ahead."
"People of today".
Um?
Xiao Yuanshuang's smile froze on her face. "What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, I want to..."
"I know! You must serve the Imperial Advisor Li Xuanji as a servant!"
Murong Yue repeated herself slowly and deliberately, making sure she hadn't misspoke and that the other person hadn't misheard.
Moreover, fearing that the other party might make some unreasonable demands, she left after saying those words.
Xiao Yuanshuang wanted to chase after her, but as soon as she took a step, her feet were filled with excruciating pain.
"Damn it! Aaaaaah—"
Xiao Yuanshuang went berserk.
"Your Highness, please don't be angry. Drink your medicine first, it will get cold if you wait too long," Cherry advised.
Xiao Yuanshuang turned her gaze to the bowl of medicine, picked it up, tilted her head back, and drank it down.
Not a drop left.
She drank it too quickly, so the medicine was already in her stomach before she could smell the unpleasant odor, and her tongue felt numb.
After a few breaths, she vomited violently.
An indescribable odor filled the air...
Looking at the mess on the ground, Cherry felt very upset. Such precious medicine had been wasted by her master, and she couldn't just pick it up and give it to him...sigh...
The news that the three dukes of Yue were going to become maids for the Grand Preceptor spread like wildfire.
It reached Li Xuanji's ears immediately.
For the first time in his life, Li Xuanji was speechless.
He stood there stunned for a full quarter of an hour before, prompted by the young page, he hurriedly headed towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony...
Ultimately, the matter was dropped.
Murong Yue was also forced to learn the difference between 'married' and 'servant'.
When Xiao Yuanche heard about this, he laughed so hard he almost choked.
