Why do you always rush to join me after awakening?

Chapter 124 Thanks to the Emperor's foresight

No one knows why the Queen suddenly seemed like a different person.

After returning home, he ate and drank as usual, and no longer looked sick as he did in the morning.

"Your Majesty, I've checked. The Empress doesn't seem to care much about the Seventh Prince. She was sitting at the gate of Xiexiefang Palace early in the morning, but then she went back to eat."

Ruyi couldn't help but frown after hearing Jinzhong's words, pouting, "Seventh Prince is still sick, and she went back to eat? How incompetent! If I were her, I should be guarding right here, even if it meant sacrificing my own life for yours!"

Jinzhong's masked mouth curled up into a sarcastic smile, and he felt a wave of disdain in his heart. He glanced casually and happened to see惢心 rolling her eyes in a corner where Ruyi couldn't see.

You can tell at a glance that it is not translated for him.

He seemed to have discovered something interesting, and he would tell Master Ling about it when the night came.

It’s a pity that Ruyi’s righteous words have no listeners.

Ruyi is still in quarantine and is not allowed to go out, otherwise she would have to go out and warm up the Seventh Prince no matter what.

"Master, the medicine is cold. You should drink it now."

Just as惢心 brought the cooled medicine bowl over, Ruyi suddenly sat up from the bed as if she had thought of something, and raised her voice, "No, the more it is now, the more I must go and warm up Brother Hongli. He must need me very much now."

"Master, you can't go out now."

"Who said that? Why can't I go out? I'm already well now. The Emperor is worried about me, so he told me not to move around freely."

Jinzhong almost couldn't hold back his expression.

If I didn't have such strong patience, I might actually laugh out loud right now.

But for everyone's safety, Jinzhong still patiently suggested, "My queen, if you go out, you'd better cover yourself with something, otherwise it will be bad if you get caught in the wind."

Ruyi glanced at Jinzhong, who was bowing, and felt that what he said made sense, so she ordered, "Do as Eunuch Jinzhong said."

What else could惢心 do? She could only obey and serve the unreasonable demands of this little old lady.

Seeing惢心 supporting Ruyi and walking slowly out, Jinzhong was about to follow. Rong Pei waited outside for a long time before she spoke to Jinzhong.

"Jinzhong."

Seeing the shy woman walking towards him step by step with her head down, Jinzhong smiled and tried to be casual, "What's wrong?"

Rong Pei even spoke with a bubbling sound as she asked, "Are the insoles I made for you comfortable?"

Jinzhong put one hand behind his back, raised an eyebrow at Rong Pei, and said bluntly, "Rong Pei, I still have to go to the emperor to serve, so I'll go first."

After saying that, Jinzhong did not forget to gently brush away the dandruff on Rong Pei's shoulders with the handkerchief Rong Pei gave him.

Until Jinzhong walked out of Yiku Palace, Rong Pei was still standing there, looking at the shoulder that Jinzhong had touched, and giggling.

"Jinzhong is so considerate, I don't mind him being a eunuch."

On the other side, Jinzhong found a place at random and threw the handkerchief away.

Anyway, Rong Pei gave him quite a few.

Ruyi, who was walking in front, was unaware of this.

He even thought he was being considerate and gave them a moment to whisper.

Jinzhong must thank her very much.

"Treat Rong Pei well, and you two will be able to take care of each other in the future. But if you ask for more openly, I will not allow it. Do you understand?"

Although Jinzhong felt extremely disgusted, he was not happy about Ruyi's criticism.

"I understand everything and will definitely not cause any trouble to Concubine Xian."

Ruyi was now contented and said, "You seem to be even smarter than Li Yu. I hope you won't disappoint me."

[I can't guarantee whether you will be disappointed or not~]

Jinzhong brought Ruyi to Anhua Palace with ease and then retreated silently.

Ruyi was still wearing the old green robe.

When the guards outside the door saw that it was her, they didn't know what to do for a moment.

He wanted to stop her, but he didn't dare to because she was the emperor's favorite concubine.

If we don't stop it, it would be a disaster if Concubine Xian's smallpox were to spread to others.

However, at this time Li Yu walked over, and his face was full of surprise when he saw Ruyi.

"Noble Concubine Xian, why are you here?"

"I heard about the Seventh Prince's situation. The Emperor must be extremely worried. I'm worried about him and wanted to come over to check on him."

"Okay, then Concubine Xian, please go in."

"Eunuch Li, but Concubine Xian's smallpox is still—"

"What's your business? Just stand there."

After being scolded by Li Yu, the guard just muttered a few words under his breath and said no more.

Although they all belonged to the upper three banners and their status was much more noble than Li Yu's, they also knew that the eunuch in front of them was a big shot around the emperor and he must not be offended.

So no matter what, I am willing to give him face.

"Squeak-"

Ruyi took small steps and slowly walked towards the bright yellow figure kneeling under the Buddha statue in the main hall, and then knelt down beside him.

"Your Majesty, even if you don't eat, you should at least drink some water."

Ruyi's voice had been particularly hoarse these days, and even when she was deliberately pinching her voice and speaking in an artificial manner, Hongli still frowned in physical discomfort.

"I'm not drinking, so why are you here? We're still in quarantine, right? Go back quickly."

"Your Majesty, I cannot bear to see you suffer."

"Where is Yongcong?"

"Still in Xiefang Palace."

"Where's the Queen?"

Ruyi sighed, pouted, and said dissatisfiedly, "I told you not to be angry."

Hongli finally opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Ruyi who was pouting, and said unhappily, "Speak!"

"I heard that the Empress has returned to Changchun Palace and is still eating and drinking, showing no sign of sadness."

Hongli just looked at Ruyi and never said a word, but his eyes were getting colder and colder as he watched her.

Frightened, Ruyi opened her mouth slightly, blinking her eyes even more slowly, and finally stammered, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Then tell me, what should the Queen do now?"

Ruyi met Hongli's gaze and said word by word, "It would be most appropriate for him to stay in Xiefang Palace and take care of him personally."

Hongli's cold eyes were full of inquiry, and he said coldly, "Go back."

Ruyi was stunned for a moment, then said coquettishly, "Yes, did I say something wrong?"

"Li Yu! Bring Concubine Xian back!"

Li Yu immediately pushed the door open and walked in. He saw Ruyi still kneeling on the mat, her head stretched out to look at Hongli's profile.

Hongli continued to pray silently.

Ruyi had not recovered from the smallpox and had been moving around without permission, so the emperor confined her to the Yiku Palace for a month as a warning to others.

"She doesn't even understand the responsibilities of a queen. Fortunately, the Ruyi didn't fall into her hands. Thanks to the emperor for his foresight..."
