After Xuan Yelan left, Qi Wuyou lay on the bed for a while. Mei Xue brought over an ice pack and applied it carefully to her.

Qi Wuyou tried to move a bit and grimaced in pain.

Mei Xue scolded, "The imperial physician said that you should rest well, Madam, don't move around."

Qi Wuyou curled his lips, "What time is it?"

Mei Xue looked at the sun outside through the window, "It's almost 3 p.m."

Qi Wuyou nodded. It turned out that she had slept for so long.

"Then I won't have to lie down all the time, will I?" Although Qi Wuyou wanted to be a lazy guy, it was tiring to lie down all the time.

Mei Xue thought for a moment and said, "Then I will ask Xiao Zhezi to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find a wheelchair."

Xiao Zhezi was one of the eunuchs who came with Qi Wuyou as a dowry. He was only a few years older than Qi Wuyou and was the best at making her happy.

Qi Wuyou rolled his eyes and said, "I don't want to sit in a wheelchair."

Mei Xue smiled and said, "That can't be helped."

Qi Wuyou was bored, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Did anyone come to see me while I was asleep?"

Mei Xue didn't even raise her head, "No."

Qi Wuyou felt a little disappointed, Mei Xue saw it, "Are you thinking about Madam Li, Madam?"

Qi Wuyou nodded, "I don't know if she and uncle are okay."

Mei Xue smiled and said, "Look at how naturally Madam Lu instructed Lord Lu. Compared to them, the four of them have received a lot of punishment since they were young."

Qi Wuyou naturally knew that she was talking about what happened today when Old Madam Lu asked Lu Yuqi to kneel down as well.

Although Mei Xue didn't look directly at Qi Wuyou, she was always paying attention with the corner of her eyes. "I think the two of you have finished your punishment at this time. I will go and find out later."

Qi Wuyou nodded. Thinking of Xuan Yelan's expression just now, Qi Wuyou didn't dare to take any more risks.

"Okay," Mei Xue gently placed Qi Wuyou's feet on the bed and said, "I'll go prepare dinner. When Xiao Zhezi comes back, let Lianxiang take you out for some fresh air."

Qi Wuyou thought for a moment and said, "I want to eat Four Happiness Meatballs for dinner."

Mei Xue nodded and went out.

I have to say that Xiao Zhezi was really quick. Not long after Mei Xue went out, Xiao Zhezi came in.

Qi Wuyou said casually, "You're really quick."

Little Zhezi was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said with a smile, "This is what His Majesty ordered. Before I even got to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Chief Steward Cai brought someone to deliver the wheelchair."

Qi Wuyou raised his eyebrows, "I see."

Xiao Zhezi smiled and said, "Your Majesty really likes the Queen. You are so thoughtful."

Qi Wuyou blushed slightly, "You are the only one who talks too much."

Xiao Zhezi pretended to slap his lips, "Yes, yes, yes, I am too talkative, Your Majesty is magnanimous, please don't hold it against me."

Qi Wuyou was speechless at Xiao Zhezi's playful appearance. Was she usually too tolerant? Why did these two people both deserve a beating?

Lianxiang came over with a basket and handed it to Xiaozhezi, while she pushed Qi Wuyou out of Fengyi Palace.

Qi Wuyou really didn't want to visit the Imperial Garden. There were only flowers and plants, what was there to see?

Thinking of this, Qi Wuyou sighed and looked at his ankle which was swollen like a bun. He realized that he couldn't go out anymore.

Lianxiang saw through Qi Wuyou's thoughts and smiled, "Your Majesty knows that you are bored staying in the palace, so he specially found a few study companions for you."

Qi Wuyou's eyes widened, and she complained unhappily, "As a queen, what do I need a reading companion for?"

Aren't only princes and princesses allowed to have study companions? Why would a queen like her need a study companion? Did Xuan Yelan treat her like a child?

Xiao Zhezi took over the conversation, "I know, His Majesty is worried that you will be bored during your recovery, so he found a few people to play with you."

Qi Wuyou curled his lips, "Who are they?"

Lianxiang thought for a moment and said, "I heard that they are all the wives of fifth-rank ministers in the court."

"Tomorrow they will enter the palace in batches. Let Mei Xue take a look first, and the rest will be chosen by Her Majesty herself."

"Selection?" Qi Wuyou frowned. "Why does it sound like a talent show? Let Mei Xue take a look first."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhezi couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Isn't it? Your Majesty only said that it is pleasing to the eyes of the Majesty. Sister Meixue has followed the Majesty for many years and knows what the Majesty likes."

Xiao Zhezi paused for a moment, then continued, "According to your majesty's original words, let your sister take a look first, so that no messy person will jump in front of your majesty."

Qi Wuyou felt sweet in her heart. Xuan Yelan was indeed thinking about her. But why did he need to find a study companion?

She has Meixue, Lianxiang, Hexiang, and Xiaozhezi, so she is not alone.

Wherever she goes, the four of them can follow.

"How dare you, you slut." A shout from not far away interrupted Qi Wuyou's thoughts.

Then I remembered the "pa pa" sound of beating, mixed with faint crying.

Qi Wuyou frowned, feeling that this scene was strangely familiar. Moreover, was this someone beating someone with a whip?

As the mistress of the palace, she had no idea when such a great master came.

Qi Wuyou motioned Lianxiang to go over and take a look. When she walked in, she saw a young girl whipping several kneeling maids.

The woman looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with an ordinary appearance and fancy clothes. Qi Wuyou searched his memory carefully, but had no memory of this woman.

Qi Wuyou signaled Lianxiang to go over and stop the woman. Lianxiang couldn't wait any longer. Xiao Zhezi took the wheelchair handle and Lianxiang rushed forward.

Although he was in the palace this time, there were many maids and eunuchs following him not far behind.

Lianxiang called out, and soon two burly maids came over and held the woman down.

"Who are you?" Qi Wuyou asked.

The woman wanted to resist, but she couldn't break free from the nanny's restraint.

What a joke! This is the nanny that Xuan Yelan sent overtime. She is the one who stays with Qi Wuyou to protect her. Even though she doesn't know how to fight, the strength in her hands is beyond the ability of a little girl to resist.

"You bold servant, do you know who I am? Let me go now," the woman shouted and screamed when she saw that she couldn't break free, with no manners at all, which was totally inconsistent with her attire.

Qi Wuyou frowned, unable to hide his disgust, "Now I'm asking you a question."

The woman raised her head proudly when she heard this, "I am the queen of Xuan State, you lowly slave, why don't you let me go quickly."

Qi Wuyou's black question mark face, you are the queen? Then who am I?

Lianxiang was fiddling with the woman's whip. Upon hearing this, she swung it hard, scaring the woman. "Who do you say you are?"

The woman seemed not to notice Lianxiang's angry eyes, and continued to talk to herself, "I am the queen of Xuan State, so what? Are you scared? You slut, why don't you let me go."

The latter sentence was said to the maids who were escorting her. The two maids looked at each other, then looked at Qi Wuyou, and then one of them gave her a slap in the face.

Qi Wuyou sighed and signaled Xiao Zhezi to push her aside. She was still a child and was not suitable to watch such a bloody scene.
