Hongli asked Zhang Yun to use the prescription, and Zhang Yun naturally obeyed his orders.

Hongli thought about it and finally felt that it would be more reassuring to keep Ruyi under his watch, so as to prevent someone from taking advantage of her illness to kill her. He ordered Jinzhong, "Go and move the Yaoguan woman's belongings here, and wait until she recovers before returning."

Jinzhong accepted the order: "Yes!"

After a pause, he asked Yan Wan outside: "As for the Imperial Concubine..."

Hongli frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Keep him under house arrest."

Jinzhong responded respectfully and walked out the door with his eyes downcast to prevent others from seeing the hostility in his eyes.

He asked someone to help Yan Wan up, and said softly, "Your Majesty, please go back and stay under house arrest."

Yan Wan's face turned pale: "Is the emperor okay?"

Jinzhong said respectfully, "Zhang Yuanzheng said that the emperor is fine, but he needs to rest well."

After a pause, he finally said, "The emperor asked me to move things for the Yaoguan girl. From now on, the Yaoguan girl will recuperate here."

Yan Wan's face turned a little paler, but she did not lose the dignity of the Imperial Concubine. She said calmly, "Grand Steward, please take good care of the Emperor. I will leave now."

Jinzhong respectfully saw her off and then went back to report.

Hongli asked, "Does the Imperial Concubine have any complaints?"

Jinzhong said softly, "The Imperial Concubine didn't say anything. She just asked about your health and told me to take good care of you, then she let Chunchan help you and left."

Hongli sighed: "I must always consider Ruyi's life."

Jinzhong said gently, "The Imperial Concubine has always put you first, and she will definitely understand your painstaking efforts."

Hongli said in a deep voice: "To the outside world, tell them that the Imperial Concubine is in seclusion for a month to pray for my blessing. Don't let anyone gossip about it. If you find anyone who is not careful, you can deal with them yourself, and there is no need to report it."

Jinzhong said hurriedly, "Yes, I will keep a close eye on her and make sure that the servants do not mistreat the Imperial Concubine."

Hongli felt very tired, so he waved his hand and asked Jinzhong to carry Ruyi and her couch out and move them to a side hall.

When Ruyi woke up again, it was because of the pain.

She felt as if the wound was covered with chili oil. It hurt so much that she opened her mouth to scream, but could only make hoarse sounds.

Feicui rushed over and covered her mouth with her hands: "My dear master! Please don't scream! The emperor is recuperating next door. If you disturb the emperor, you will be beaten again!"

Ruyi then realized that this was not her bedroom. She was trembling with pain and turned her head with difficulty to look behind her, but she only saw a quilt covering her.

Feicui explained, "Don't be afraid. This is the medicine that Zhang Yuanzheng prescribed. It says that your skin will be as smooth as new soon. In half a month at most, you will be able to serve the emperor again!"

Ruyi felt pain and frustration. She wanted to ask Wei Yanwan whether she was punished, but she couldn't write. Every time she moved, she felt as if her lower body had been rinsed in boiling water.

With every breath she took, she felt as though her screams were about to escape her throat, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Jade filled it with a handkerchief.

"Woooooooo..."

Seeing Ruyi trembling with pain and tears streaming down her face, Feicui also cried: "I have thick skin and only took painkillers, not the expensive ointment you used. I don't know how painful it is, but from the look on your face, it must be very painful.

Otherwise, I will ask the emperor to stop using this ointment! Although being favored is important, it is not as important as your health. At most, we can wait for the wound to heal in half a year, and then ask Zhang Yuanzheng for some scar removal medicine to try. There must be a way!"

Ruyi grabbed Feicui's hand, bit the handkerchief and shook her head hard.

Feicui said distressedly: "You don't agree? But this, this hurts so much!"

Ruyi forced a smile, and lay on the pillow, crying silently, but she didn't even dare to cry - if she cried, her body would tremble, and the pain would make her almost faint, but she couldn't faint at all!

After tossing and turning like this for a long time, she became numb from the pain and finally saw the sunlight outside.

so good!

She is alive again!

But soon she couldn't laugh anymore.

The emperor clearly ordered Wei Yanwan to be confined to her house, but how long has it been? Ten days? Ten days? Wei Yanwan is out again?!

Ruyi leaned against the window with resentment, listening to the sounds outside, her nails digging into the quilt.

In the yard, Yanwan looked at the children shooting arrows with Hongli with tenderness, her eyebrows and eyes full of affectionate smiles.

Every time Hongli looked back, he could see Yanwan, and his heart softened.

He taught several princes archery for a while, and seeing that Yongyan was not the oldest but was the best archer, he could not help but praise him again and again.

But his health is not as good as before, and he got tired after a while, so he came to accompany Yan Wan to rest: "Starting today, don't be confined to your room anymore. I don't blame you. I know you are just too worried about me."

Yan Wan said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, do you not blame me for wanting to kill your sweetheart?"

Hongli sneered: "What kind of sweetheart is she?"

He looked at Yongyan and said with emotion: "Yongyan is becoming more and more like me."

Yan Wan chuckled and said, "Whose child it is, naturally he or she will look like that person."

In addition to appearance, there are also the tone of voice, the traces of handwriting... These little tricks of details are not only useful for concubines to compete for favor, but also for sons to use them to please their old fathers, which is naturally useful.

As for Yongyan, he did things more skillfully in this life than in the previous one - he neither made the emperor feel that he was too sharp, nor did the emperor feel that he was extremely talented and completely in the same lineage as him.

The son is handsome because of his mother, and smart and intelligent because of his father...

Yanwan has always been able to do this question and has always done it very well.

Look at the way the emperor looks at Yongyan, isn't he looking at the pride that he himself continues to enjoy?

Hongli also flattered Yanwan: "This child is not only smart, but also looks like you. He is good-looking. I'm afraid he will give us many grandchildren in the future."

Yan Wan chuckled: "He is still young, and that's all you say."

Hongli said with emotion: "He is not young anymore. He is very mature in handling things. I want to take him to do something."

Yan Wan smiled and said, "I will only take care of the children's food, clothing and other expenses. Your Majesty, you are their father, so whatever you say is fine."

Hongli laughed heartily, and looked at Yongyan with increasing satisfaction. When Yanwan was leaving, he said to her, "Don't keep me under house arrest any longer. Stay tonight."

Yan Wan said softly, "In order to protect me, you told others that I was worshipping Buddha. I made a vow to the Buddha to be a vegetarian for a month to pray for your blessing!"

Hongli could indeed smell the scent of sandalwood on her clothes and pinched her face: "You are always so honest. Fortunately, you are my concubine. Otherwise, I don't know what would happen to you."

Yan Wan smiled shyly, her eyes full of tenderness, and she looked up at him slightly: "It is my luck to be able to be by your side. I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that the Bodhisattva can bless me, so that I can grow old with the person I love in the future."
