My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

"Oh, how can I not be anxious?" Little Swallow continued, "Father Emperor, please tell me quickly, please tell me quickly."

When the emperor saw Xiaoyanzi so anxious, he wanted to tease her, so he winked at the queen and the old lady.

The Queen and the Empress Dowager immediately understood what the Emperor meant.

The Queen looked at the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I think for safety's sake the fewer people you have with you the better. Furthermore, I believe this trip must be kept secret and there must not be any noise."

The Emperor felt that what the Empress said was quite right, so he nodded and responded, "Your Majesty is very thoughtful. I should go back and think carefully about the list for this southern tour."

"Southern Tour? When does it leave? I can pack my things in advance." Little Swallow was very excited when she heard the emperor mention the word "Southern Tour". "How can the emperor be without a little Swallow like me? Of course Ziwei has to go too. Ziwei and I can't be separated."

Seeing Xiaoyanzi so excited, the Queen immediately interrupted, "Xiaoyanzi, the Emperor hasn't confirmed how many people to bring, who they will be, and whether the palace ladies should come along. If they do, the safety issues need to be discussed with everyone, so don't get your hopes up too much."

"That won't do. How can we go without him? It would be so boring. Besides, isn't the purpose of the Southern Tour to see the scenery and have fun?"

Xiaoyanzi was quite outspoken and had no idea that the emperor's face was drooping at this moment.

Qing'er walked up and gently pulled Xiaoyanzi's arm, then whispered a few words into her ear and returned to the old lady.

"Father Emperor, I don't mean anything else." Xiaoyanzi looked at the Emperor awkwardly, then at the Empress, and quickly explained, "I know the most important purpose of the Southern Tour is to understand the people's sentiments, but work is work, but we can't exhaust ourselves. We need to work and relax as well, right?"

After hearing what Xiaoyanzi said, the emperor's expression instantly brightened up, and there was a hint of helplessness but also of doting in his expression.

He really couldn't get angry with Xiaoyanzi.

"This little swallow is so talkative. I really have no idea what to do with her." The emperor smiled happily.

Xiaoyanzi immediately said, "Father Emperor, do you agree?"

"Ah? I didn't say anything?" The emperor said deliberately. "Queen, did I say anything just now?"

The queen shook her head in confusion, then she looked at Qing'er and the others, and they all shook their heads as well.

"Father Emperor, you really don't want to take us with you?" Little Swallow asked again, "I really want to go on the Southern Tour with you."

Seeing that Xiaoyanzi insisted on asking him to take them with him, the emperor felt soft-hearted and nodded in agreement.

When Xiaoyanzi saw that the emperor agreed to her request, she jumped up excitedly and kept clapping her hands.

"Ziwei, the Emperor has agreed to take us along." Xiaoyanzi happily hugged Ziwei, "That's great. Let's go back now and think about whether there's anything we want to take with us, and pack it so we don't get caught up in the rush."

Seeing Xiaoyanzi so excited, Ziwei couldn't bear to spoil her fun, so she just nodded.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Father and Empress, the three of us have brought Qing'er back safely, so we won't bother you any more." Ziwei took Xiaoyanzi and Seya with her and bowed together, "We'll go back to Shufangzhai first."

"Okay, go back and rest for a while." The old Buddha looked at the three of them kindly, then turned to look at the emperor and the queen and instructed: "You two should go back too."

"Yes."

When Ziwei was about to turn around and leave with Xiaoyanzi and Seya, Seya suddenly stopped and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Seya put her hands on her waist and said, "Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, wait a moment, my waist suddenly hurts, like a needle is pricking me."

Ziwei immediately became nervous after hearing what Seya said, and hurriedly supported Seya with Xiaoyanzi.

Seeing that Seya was frowning and her face was turning pale, the old lady asked with concern, "What's wrong? Why is your back hurting for no reason?"

Seya immediately said, "Old Buddha, I'm fine. I'll ask Mingyue Caixia to rub it for me when I get back."

"How can this be possible? How about we ask the imperial physician to come and take a look first?" Qing'er saw that Seya's face was so horrified with pain, and she was really worried. So she quickly turned around and looked at Nanny Gui and said, "Nanny Gui, please go to the Imperial Hospital and ask Doctor Wen to come and take a look."

"Yes." When Aunt Gui heard Qing Gege's order, she ran away, fearing that it would delay Princess Seya's treatment.

However, Seya kept refusing, "Well, I'm really fine. I'll go back to Shufangzhai first."

"Saya, a back injury can be a serious matter. You should sit patiently and wait for the imperial physician to come and treat you before you leave. Otherwise, we will be worried." The queen said quickly.

Seeing Seya like this, Qing'er had no choice but to tell the truth, "Master Buddha, Seya was injured because of me."

"Ah? What do you mean?" Old Buddha looked at Qing'er in surprise. "Qing'er, what do you mean by that? I'm getting more and more confused."

Qing'er hesitated for a moment, and then told everyone what happened on the ranch.

After hearing Qing'er's words, the old lady's face was filled with worry. "Qing'er, you are not hurt, are you? If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you must tell me. If you leave a chronic disease, how will I, an old woman, explain to your father and mother after I pass away?"

At this time, Nanny Gui had already come in with Doctor Wen from the Imperial Hospital.

When the old lady saw Doctor Wen coming, she quickly said to him, "Hurry up and check Seya to see if there's anything wrong with her waist. Then check Qing'er."

"Yes."

After a long while, Doctor Wen finished examining Princess Seya and Princess Qing and said, "Your Majesty, the princess and princess are fine. As for the princess's back pain, it's because she bumped into a wooden stake while rescuing the princess. No immediate action was taken, so now the muscles in her back are sore and swollen."

The old lady felt a little relieved after hearing what Doctor Wen said, but she continued to ask, "Then how should we treat Princess Seya's back injury now?"

"When you go back, apply the blood-stasis-removing and blood-activating ointment to your waist. Of course, you need to rub it constantly to allow it to be fully absorbed. This will achieve the best results." Doctor Wen explained word by word. "While rubbing, your waist will gradually become warm and sweaty, which means the ointment is taking effect."
