Madam General, please run slower.

Yu Xun was very quick and soon Wei Shiliu was packed up and taken into the palace.

Ji Hong took Wei Shiliu and Chunmei to Yueting Palace. Seeing the Queen, he smiled and said, "His Majesty is considerate of the princess's health and asked the Queen to exempt the princess from paying respects. The princess can stay in Yueting Palace with peace of mind. If you need anything, just let me know."

Ji Hong glanced at Wei Shiliu, who was dressed as a servant beside him, and asked, "Does the princess need more guards?"

This boy has thin arms and legs, and it's obvious that he can't do anything.

Wei Shiliu who was inexplicably disliked: ...

Chunmei also saw Ji Hong's eyes and held back her laughter in great pain. She had not expected that this powerful secret guard would be despised as soon as he arrived, and was despised by an old eunuch who could not even lift anything.

"No need. I will just rest in the Moon Court Palace. It would be better if too many people don't disturb me. Thank you, Eunuch Ji."

Ji Hong thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he stopped forcing it.

After bringing the person to Yueting Palace, Ji Hong smiled and weighed the reward money in his hand, and happily went back to report. He had just received the reward money from General Yu, and he didn't expect that the little princess was such a generous master. This trip was really worth it.

In fact, it was not Li who was generous, but Wei Shiliu. After all, the money he took out was from the mansion, which essentially belonged to Yu Xun, so the two of them had no idea and gave it away casually. Chunmei, however, felt distressed when she saw the white silver.

Because the place was for recuperation, Li did not leave many servants in the courtyard, and only Wei Shiliu and Chunmei were left by his side.

The two men also knew that the princess did not like those kinds of respectful etiquettes, so they were much more casual when no one was around. The three of them sat in a circle in the yard, eating melon seeds and chatting.

"Little Princess, how long will you stay in the palace?" Wei Shiliu sat on a small stool with his back straight, and could only reach out to reach the melon seeds on the table.

Yes, he was punished again and now he can't bend down.

At noon, as soon as the master and the little princess left, Wei Yi caught him and took him to the Punishment Hall.

As for the reason, it was because the master did not call him at noon, but he showed up when the little princess called him, and he did not recognize who his master was, so he should be punished.

If the princess had not specifically asked to bring him into the palace, he would still be in the punishment hall, suffering from salt punishment.

Seeing him like this, Li turned around and glanced at Chunmei. This little girl was beaten with a stick at the chrysanthemum viewing banquet a few days ago, but now she can run and jump and seems to be fine.

After thinking about it, Li deliberately poked Wei Shiliu's back with a claw. After hearing his crying, he withdrew his hand with satisfaction, "Tsk tsk tsk, how about I send you back to continue to be punished after your injury is healed?"

"Thank you." Wei Shiliu curled his lips. His injury was caused by her.

"You're welcome. It's my duty." Li responded calmly.

Chunmei watched them bickering with amusement. She inexplicably felt that the little princess was very relaxed in front of this secret guard. It turned out that people of the same age had more topics to talk about.

Chunmei, who was only a few years older than Qu Tangli and Wei Shiliu, had the mentality of an old mother. She kindly pushed the melon seeds in the direction of Wei Shiliu. In her heart, she had already classified this secret guard as a child who needed careful care.

Li and Wei Shiliu quarreled with each other from time to time, but they stopped at the same time and looked outside the door vigilantly.

The queen walked in slowly, holding her youngest son's hand, followed by a group of servants. She looked extremely imposing, and if you didn't know her, you would have thought she was here to start a fight.

Wei Shiliu and Chunmei had already stood up and stood obediently behind Li when they sensed someone coming in. The more tolerant the little princess was towards them, the more they wanted to prevent her from being criticized.

The queen asked with a smile, "Is Xiaojiu in good health?"

Li stood up helplessly and saluted the queen, "I'm fine, just a little weak. The imperial physician said I need to rest."

What I mean is that you are disturbing my rest.

The queen came forward with a smile on her face, helped Li Xu up, and told her not to be polite. After seeing the three teacups on the table, she muttered in her heart that it was rude, but on the surface she still said warmly: "The relationship between the little princess and the servants is really good."

Wei Shiliu and Chunmei were about to kneel down and admit their mistakes, but Li grabbed one of them and pulled them behind him, with a hint of protection. "There's nothing I can do. I, the unpopular little princess, can only play with the servants."

The queen's mouth twitched, and she could only reply dryly, "Princess, you are joking."

Li Ke didn't want to joke with her anymore, so he coughed a few times and asked, "Is there something important for mother? I'm not feeling well, and I'm afraid I'll catch a cold. If I pass the disease on to mother, it will be Xiaojiu's fault."

"It's not a big deal." The queen nudged her youngest son. "Little Thirteen offended the princess last time. I brought him here to apologize to you."

Qu Shi walked forward awkwardly, but due to the pressure from her mother, she could only say sorry in a low voice. If it weren't for Li's good hearing, she would have thought it was a blind mosquito buzzing around her.

Li waved her hand indifferently. After all, she had already taken the apology from him herself.

"Alas, my life cannot compare to that of my royal brother. I cannot afford the little prince's apology."

"What are you talking about, Xiaojiu?"

The Queen was about to explode with anger, but she still smiled and replied, "I got a set of green jade headpiece not long ago, and I thought it would be suitable for Xiaojiu, so I brought it here. Xiaojiu, take a look and see if you like it."

Following the Queen's instructions, the palace maids came forward with their headgear in hand.

Li just glanced at it and then looked away, "I appreciate your mother's kindness, but unfortunately I am a vulgar person who only recognizes vulgar things like silver and has no interest in other things." These words were blatantly asking for money.

The queen was extremely happy to hear this. She loved this headgear very much and had made a great decision to reluctantly give it up to Qu Tangli as an apology. Now that she heard that Qu Tangli only wanted money, how could she refuse? She quickly arranged for the palace servants to take money from her private treasury. The thing she had the most was money.

Soon, the palace servants carried a box of silver from Fengxiang Palace.

When Li saw the real money, he felt much better and he smiled when he saw the Queen off.

"Wow, the Queen is really rich." Wei Shiliu looked left and right, full of surprise.

"This little money in exchange for the house arrest of the mother and son is considered a bargain for them." Li drank his tea nonchalantly.

The emperor's heart was truly set on heaven.

The queen and her son had been under house arrest for less than a month, and as soon as she arrived, she came to apologize eagerly. She didn't believe that this was without the emperor's tacit consent.

If she accepted the gift, the matter would be over and never mentioned again.

Chunmei pouted and was very dissatisfied. She grew up in the palace, so how could she not know the twists and turns? She just felt sorry for the princess.

Li looked at her with amusement, "Go ahead, divide the money between the two of you, take as much as you want."

"Really?" Wei Shiliu's eyes lit up, "Then I'll carry the whole box away."

"If you're so kind, just take it."

"No shame! It's just money, why should I be embarrassed?" Wei Shiliu grinned. Looking at the money, his waist and legs didn't hurt anymore, and he would be happy to be spanked a few more times.

He worked as a secret guard just to make a living. What he earned in one day by being with the princess was almost enough for him to earn as a secret guard for his entire life.

The two people who were responsible for dividing the money gathered around the box of silver and discussed it for a while. In the end, they took one-third and shared it equally, leaving the remaining two-thirds to Li.

Seeing how happy they were, Li simply gave them a day off and let them have fun on their own. He then went back to his room and discussed with Tanghulu about exploring the spiritual veins in the evening.
