Madam General, please run slower.

After returning to the imperial study, Emperor Qu remembered that he had not yet punished the Empress and Qu Shi, so he issued an edict: "From now on, the Empress and the Thirteenth Prince are not allowed to step out of the bedroom without my permission."

After hearing the punishment from the Queen and Qu Shi, Yu Xun just smiled sarcastically and looked at the weak and pale little person on the bed with a complicated expression.

He clearly knew that she was not favored. The maid named Chunmei had also reminded him to protect the little princess before coming, but he didn't take it seriously. If something really happened to the little fool, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

But Li didn't let him feel guilty for too long, as he woke up before dinner.

"Gurgle~" The rumbling sound of hungry intestines is particularly clear in this lonely Moon Courtyard Palace.

"Princess!"

"Little fool!"

Before Li could even start to feel embarrassed, he was interrupted by the deafening shouts of the two people.

Chunmei didn't care about Yu Xun's identity at this time. She pushed him aside. Li was the only one in her red eyes. "Princess, does it hurt? Is there anything else that's uncomfortable? Imperial physician, yes, yes, yes, I'll go get the imperial physician."

After Chunmei finished speaking, she ran out in a hurry. Li didn't have time to grab her hand, so he could only retract his hand in embarrassment.

"Do you want me to help you sit up?" The man's voice was not as low as before. It was soft and warm, like a summer spring, flowing slowly into Li's ears.

No, this bastard took the wrong medicine and damaged his throat?

Li rubbed his ears uncomfortably, then sat up by himself. He did it so fast that even Yu Xun couldn't react.

Yu Xun was startled by Li's action, but he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't look uncomfortable. Seeing the girl regain her vitality, Yu Xun finally let go of the stone in his heart.

"I have already notified the imperial kitchen to serve the meal. We will return home after dinner." Yu Xun avoided the injured part of her head and reached out to touch the top of Li's head. However, as soon as his hand touched Li's head, the person opposite her suddenly shrank back.

Killing intent appeared in Li's eyes, and the spiritual power in his hand condensed and then dissipated. Damn, why does this person always like to make a move, causing her to almost be exposed.

Li knew very well that it was not appropriate to make any unnecessary movements at this moment. His dark eyes concealed the murderous intent and he continued to stare at Yu Xun closely. His body was trembling slightly because of the spiritual power he had mobilized and then suddenly dissipated.

This scene looked different in Yu Xun's eyes.

The girl looked at him warily, like an irritated cat. Tsk, she's quite cute.

"Princess!"

Chunmei, who was sprinting with the imperial physician, saw Li clutching the quilt in shock. She glared at Yu Xun's back and soothed him softly, "Princess, don't be afraid. The bad guys have been driven away. Let the imperial physician check your health, okay?"

Li carefully glanced at Yu Xun and the imperial physician following behind Chunmei, and finally returned his gaze to Chunmei and nodded slightly. He grabbed the sleeve of the little maid with one hand and handed it to the imperial physician with the other hand, as if this would give him a sense of security.

Chunmei had no choice but to move sideways to make room for the imperial physician, "Excuse me, Imperial Physician Ping."

"Oh, Miss Chunmei, you are too polite." Doctor Ping had just been dragged over by Chunmei. He hadn't even caught his breath yet when he took out a handkerchief from his arms and carefully placed it on Li's wrist.

"Huh?" Feeling the pulse from his fingertips, Pingyuan twisted his fingertips in confusion and took the pulse again.

I am not afraid of the imperial physician smiling, I am afraid of him frowning.

Seeing Imperial Physician Ping frowning, Chunmei's heart almost stopped in fear, and she even started crying when she spoke, "Imperial Physician Ping...Imperial Physician Ping, what happened to the princess?

Yu Xun also stared at Ping Yuan with a worried look on his face, fearing that he would say that he would die soon.

Pingyuan also realized that his expression was out of control, and quickly adjusted his mood and asked: "Princess, are you feeling uncomfortable in any other way?"

"My head feels so heavy and dizzy."

Pingyuan asked a few more questions before he stood up and explained, "Princess, you are blessed by heaven. The spiritual power in your body has dissipated. Your dizziness is caused by excessive blood loss. I will prescribe a tonic for you. You just need to take care of yourself."

Spiritual power dissipated? This imperial physician could diagnose the spiritual power in the body, how could he not know that she was a cultivator now? Li was puzzled, so she asked in her mind: "Tanghulu, you concealed the spiritual power in my body?"

"I don't have any." The little ball of Tanghulu light shook and checked Li's body. "Hey, Master, there is something in your Dantian!"

"What the hell is this?" Following Tanghulu's words, Li looked inward at his dantian and finally found a small black dot in a small corner that was slightly smaller than a sesame seed.

"I don't know about Tanghulu either. This little black grain seems to be alive but has not yet awakened. It should be that it has affected the master's pulse."

Alive? Did she eat something dirty and have worms in her stomach?

Li's intuition told her that this thing was not simple, but now was not the time to explore it. Li could only let go of her worries and concentrate on dealing with the people in front of her.

Chunmei breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted Li's hand, "Don't be afraid, Princess. I'll go get the medicine with the imperial physician and will be back soon."

Li stroked Chunmei's rough palm, and seeing the little girl looking towards Yu Xun, he couldn't help but laugh, "Sister Mei, I'm not afraid."

Chunmei was worried about Li and Yu Xun staying together, so she hurried out with the imperial physician.

Yu Xun naturally noticed the maid's gaze, and thinking of how frightened he had just been, he knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't bother to argue with a little maid, "You must be hungry, I'll have someone serve you food."

Li Qing responded.

Soon, a palace servant brought the meal to the table. Looking at the dazzling array of delicacies on the table, Li's stomach growled again. There was no need for the servants to serve the dishes, and he started eating with his chopsticks.

Several palace maids who were standing by to serve looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Yu Xun waved his hands helplessly and asked them to leave. He was not used to having someone serving him while he ate. It was a rare opportunity for him to eat the imperial meal in private. If there were someone else around, he would feel embarrassed to snatch food from this little kid.

After the palace people left, Yu Xun grabbed most of the exquisite bean sprouts with his big hands, swallowed them in a few mouthfuls, and then moved on to pick up the meat. There was nothing he could do, the imperial meal was exquisite, but the quantity was too small, and a plate of food was only enough for him to eat a few mouthfuls.

While Li lowered his head to chew his rice, the two small plates of food were finished. Seeing this, he stopped eating, stood up, took the meat in front of Yu Xun, and began to devour it.

An inexplicable desire to win ignited between the two. Although the amount of food on each plate was small, fortunately there were many dishes, and the two of them finished the meal quickly, just enough to eat until they were 70% full.

The two packed up and went to the Imperial Study to bid farewell to Emperor Qu. After they acted out a loving couple act in front of Emperor Qu, they hugged each other and left. Yes, you read that right, they really hugged each other.

Because Li had an injury on her leg and walked with a limp, Yu Xun wanted to carry her, but Li refused, so she had no choice but to let him hold her.

Li Yuan thought that it was unreasonable for her to suddenly jump up and down when she looked so badly injured during the day, so she agreed to Yu Xun's request. However, the result of her agreement was that Li suppressed her instinct to hit someone and was taken advantage of by Yu Xun who held her waist.

After coming out of the imperial study, Li twisted her waist uncomfortably, signaling him to let go.

Yu Xun chuckled softly, and took advantage of the situation to hug her tighter. He leaned over and reminded her in her ear, "Be good. There are too many bad people in the palace."

Li raised his eyes and looked at the only bad guy at the moment. Because Yu Xun lowered his head, Li's action caused the two of them to look at each other at close range.

Li didn't feel anything, but Yu Xun stood up uncomfortably and put some distance between them. It was Li's eyes that made him feel like he was a human trafficker who lured children.

"Let's go." Yu Xun rubbed his nose awkwardly and walked a little faster. Poor Li's short legs were hanging in the air when he walked to the back.

Qu Tangli was only thirteen years old this year. Due to malnutrition and delayed development, her height was only about six feet tall, while Yu Xun was over eight feet tall, so the wound did not even reach Yu Xun's chest.

Maybe someone hasn't realized that he has been dragged up by him.

(Because each dynasty has different standards for the length of a foot, one foot here is 23.5 cm, six feet is 141, and eight feet is 188. Don't worry, the heroine is still young and can still grow?(????)
