The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

When the emperor heard Doctor Hu say that Ziwei still hadn't woken up, he felt a little worried.

Fu Heng asked, "If Miss Ziwei wakes up in the next few days, can we set off? The Mongolian prince is coming, so we may have to hurry back."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Hu shook his head and said, "Miss Ziwei has been having an intermittent fever for the past few days. Even if she wakes up, she will need at least three to five days to recover before she can continue her journey."

After all, Ziwei was injured for the emperor. Now she hasn't woken up yet and her life or death is uncertain. It is definitely not a good idea to leave her here rashly.

But the longer we stay here, the more difficult it will be for everyone to travel.

Just when they were worried, the little maid came to report: "Master, Miss Ziwei has woken up."

Hearing this, Fu Heng's eyes lit up: "It's good that he's awake. If he wakes up, will his life be out of danger?"

Doctor Hu nodded happily: "Miss Ziwei is in good health. As long as she can wake up, there will be no major problems."

The emperor made the final decision, "That's good. That's it. Doctor Hu, you stay to take care of Ziwei. Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi will also stay to accompany Ziwei. The rest of us will leave the day after tomorrow. We will return to the capital first."

Fu Heng smiled and nodded: "That's good, this way Miss Ziwei can slowly recover from her illness, and there's no need to worry if she comes back late."

At this time, another little maid came to report that Ziwei wanted to see the master.

The emperor nodded and said, "Let's go and see Ziwei together."

The emperor and his entourage came to Ziwei's room in a grand procession.

The emperor came in and asked kindly, "Ziwei, are you feeling okay?"

The emperor was happy that he didn't have to delay his journey because of Ziwei. How could he not be happy?

But the other people in the room misunderstood, especially Ziwei. Seeing that the emperor was so happy because she woke up, Ziwei was deeply moved.

Sure enough, after the emperor learned that I was his daughter, he was very caring towards me.

"I'm sorry to have worried you, Master. Ziwei is doing well now."

The emperor plopped down on his chair and said, "That's good. The Mongolian prince is coming to Beijing. We must hurry back. Doctor Hu said you are not in good health and cannot travel. You should recuperate at Magistrate Ding's house for a while before returning."

Seeing Ziwei's expression change drastically, the emperor said with a smile, "I'm afraid you'll be bored, so I'll leave Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi with you. You can return to the capital slowly after your injury has healed."

"No!" Ziwei sat up suddenly. Seeing the emperor frowning slightly, Ziwei smiled and said, "Master, my body is almost healed. It won't hinder my journey. There is no need to stay and bother Magistrate Ding any longer."

Xiaoyanzi was very happy at first when she heard that she could stay and continue playing, but she dropped her head when she heard Ziwei's refusal.

Xiaoyanzi didn't want to go back to the palace at all. It was so nice to be outside the palace. She was free and had no rules to follow. She could do whatever she wanted.

When Xiaoyanzi thought about returning to the palace and having to abide by those annoying rules, and having to face the Empress Dowager and the Queen, she felt uncomfortable all over and didn't want to go back at all.

But she completely forgot that her identity had been exposed, and whether she could return to the palace was another matter.

The emperor would not change his mind just because of Ziwei's words: "Don't worry, I will talk to Magistrate Ding in person, you can just stay here peacefully."

But how could Ziwei agree to this? After returning to the palace, the Empress Dowager and the Queen would definitely know that she was Xia Yuhe's daughter. If she couldn't return to the palace with the Emperor, she didn't know what the Empress Dowager and the Queen would say to the Emperor.

Ziwei would never allow such a possible change to happen, so she had to return to the palace with the emperor.

"Master, Ziwei is really fine. She can get out of bed now. She just needs to take a carriage. It won't delay her at all."

As she spoke, Ziwei lifted the quilt, endured the pain, got out of bed and walked around.

Seeing that Ziwei had indeed recovered well, the emperor looked at Doctor Hu in confusion.

Doctor Hu hurried forward to take Ziwei's pulse, but the result was that she had not recovered yet. Could it be that Miss Ziwei was particularly strong, so she recovered better than others?

Therefore, Doctor Hu could only casually say, "I still think that rushing the journey will not be conducive to the wound's recovery."

"Ziwei is really fine, master, please let me go back with you." Ziwei looked at the emperor pitifully.

The emperor got goosebumps when he saw it.

Fu Heng, who was watching from the sidelines, also got goose bumps.

"Alright, let's notify them. We'll get ready tomorrow and leave early the day after tomorrow. You guys should get some rest early."

The emperor waved his hand and ran away.

Ziwei wanted to say something, but was stopped by the slamming door.

Forget it, there will be plenty of opportunities to talk to the master on the way.

Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi, who had no right to speak throughout the whole process, looked at each other in bewilderment.

Neither of them wants to go back to the palace, not at all!

Only after the emperor and his entourage had gone far away did the little swallow dare to jump up and scream.

"Ziwei! Why do you have to go back to the palace? It would be so nice for the three of us to play together outside the palace. After your injury is healed, we can continue to travel and play. We can go back when we have had enough fun. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Ziwei sneered: "It is indeed a good opportunity for you and Yongqi to have some time alone, but what about Erkang? Don't tell me you have forgotten about Erkang so quickly! You have given up on Erkang!"

These words were like a blow to the head, which immediately quieted down Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi, who were originally quite angry. They felt a little guilty, as they had indeed forgotten that Erkang might be beheaded in the autumn.

Knowing she was in the wrong, Xiaoyanzi sat down beside Ziwei's bed, holding her hand and comforting her: "Ziwei, I'm sorry for making you sad. I just want you to recover well. The emperor may just be trying to scare Erkang and won't really chop off his head."

Ziwei burst into tears, "Xiaoyanzi, do you believe what you said? Erkang is now imprisoned. Apart from Lord Fu, only our group of friends can help him."

As soon as Ziwei started crying, Xiaoyanzi immediately became flustered: "Don't cry, we will definitely find a way to save Erkang, don't worry."

Ziwei smiled bitterly: "We don't know what Erkang's current situation is, how can we not worry?"

"We did all of this together. The Emperor hasn't gotten angry yet. Either he's reluctant to make a big deal out of it, or he wants to wait until we return to the palace to deal with it. No matter which one it is, the Emperor won't deal with Erkang rashly."

Hearing Yongqi's words, Xiaoyanzi nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I think it's the first one. The Emperor loves us so much, he will definitely not be willing to punish us."

Looking at the extremely confident Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei felt very complicated.

"No matter what, we must go back." Even if it's not for Erkang, she has to go back for the sake of finding her father smoothly.

For some reason, Ziwei always had a bad feeling. Although Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi both said that the emperor cared about her very much, just now, she always felt that the emperor was very distant from her.

"What about your health condition? Can we go back?" Yongqi was still very worried about Ziwei's health condition.

"Okay." Ziwei nodded firmly.

Seeing that Ziwei had made her decision, Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi didn't say anything more.
