Quick Wear: The saints are too miserable, the host will never be soft-hearted

"Yongqi, tell me, how is Concubine Yu?" The emperor forced himself not to listen to the cries of pain coming from outside the palace. He could not be too indulgent to Xiaoyanzi.

When Lu Yi heard the emperor's question, he took a deep breath and reported Concubine Yu's condition with panic in his eyes.

Yonghe Palace.

Lu Yi devoted himself to serving medicine to Concubine Yu.

"Yongqi, does your royal father have any errands for you?"

Seeing Lu Yi shaking his head, Concubine Yu swallowed the medicine and covered her mouth with a handkerchief. "Then when you finish school in the next few days, come back to Yonghe Palace."

"Mother, is there something wrong with you?"

"As a mother, do I have to have something going on to be close to my son? Yongqi, I just want to have dinner with you and chat."

Concubine Yu jokingly said, then changed the subject, "Or, are you unable to let go of the princess from Shufangzhai? Yongqi, have you forgotten your royal father's order?"

Lu Yi scratched his sleeve and said in embarrassment: "Xiaoyanzi was beaten with a stick today. She was punished so badly. I can't rest assured if I don't go to see her."

"Have you forgotten what you promised mother today?" Concubine Yu said as she was about to cover her heart.

Concubine Yu's heartache was so sudden that Lu Yi almost lost focus. She quickly recalled the sad things and said gloomily after her emotions were in place, "Yongqi hasn't forgotten."

"Xiaoyanzi is confined to Shufangzhai until her injury heals. She is under the care of the imperial physician and palace maids. There is no need for you. Listen to your mother's advice and stay away from her." Concubine Yu finished speaking with a frown.

"...Yes!" Lu Yi lowered his head and hid his smile.

"What should we do, Erkang? Xiaoyanzi is in so much pain, she refuses to take medicine or eat. How can she bear this?"

"What will happen if she refuses to take the medicine? Mingyue Caixia, help Gege up. Ziwei, give the medicine to Xiaoyanzi. If she doesn't take the medicine, the wound will get worse."

The outsider was in the hall and did not enter. Erkang pointed at Ziwei through a screen.

Ertai stared blankly at the snacks on his plate and suddenly said, "Xiaoyanzi has received twenty strokes of the cane before, so why is it so painful after only ten strokes today?"

Ziwei came out of the inner room. Erkang went forward to wipe the medicine stains off her hands and sighed, "This time it's heartbreak. Xiaoyanzi is angry that the emperor was so ruthless, so... sigh."

"Has the Plum Blossom Tongue-Dropping Pill been used on the princess? If it's not enough, I'll go and recite the formula to Doctor Chang." Benjamin was so anxious that he couldn't sit still when he heard Xiaoyanzi's cry of pain.

"I've used it. I have as much medicine as I need from Shufangzhai. Benjamin, Erkang Ertai, don't leave tonight. Xiaoyanzi will feel better with you by her side."

"Okay! I won't leave. Ziwei, tell Xiaoyanzi to rest assured. I, Benjamin, will be here all night long and won't leave for a moment!" Benjamin said excitedly, saying a few words of encouragement in English.

Ertai: “…”

Not leaving? If he doesn’t leave, where will he sleep?

Sleeping on the floor? Or in the servants' rooms? He glanced at everyone, suppressing his dissatisfaction and saying nothing.

"It's just that this Shufangzhai is missing one person."

Erkang looked at her and said, "Ziwei, I know what you are going to say, Fifth Prince, right?"

Ertai swallowed in shock. His outstanding brother was really bold in his words, and Ziwei was really bold in her thoughts. Fifth Prince, that's the Fifth Prince. It's ok to just interact with him normally, but now she wants him to keep watch in Shufangzhai?!

Ziwei nodded, "Yes, you are the four guards of Shufangzhai. Xiaoyanzi will be worried if any of you are missing."

"Ziwei, Ertai and I will go to Yonghe Palace now and bring the Fifth Prince with us."

Ertai gripped the handle of the chair tightly and said, "Brother, Shufangzhai needs help. I'll stay here in case anything unexpected happens."

"Well, Ertai is right. Benjamin, come with me. Ertai hasn't been to Yonghe Palace many times, so he's not as familiar with the place as the two of us."

Ertai smiled and said, "Yes."

Ziwei went in and happily told Xiaoyanzi the good news. Ertai quietly reached out for the dessert plate.

"Looking for the Fifth Prince? It's the Emperor..." asked Concubine Yu.

"No, no, it has nothing to do with the Emperor. It's Xiaoyanzi, Concubine Yu. We really have something important to discuss with the Fifth Prince. Please ask him to come out and see us."

Since it had nothing to do with the Emperor, Concubine Yu slowly relaxed and leaned back in her chair. "You've come at an inopportune time. The Fifth Prince has already gone to bed. Since there's nothing important, please come back tomorrow."

"What? Fifth Prince is taking a break at this hour?! Fifth Prince!"

Benjamin called out loudly.

"Benjamin, don't waste your time. The Fifth Prince has taken a tranquilizing decoction and is now fast asleep. He can't hear you."

Lu Yi was sleeping soundly, lying on his side with his eyes wide open like bells, and the scene was replaying in his mind.

She had lost the space for the tranquilizing soup, and she hadn't ascended the throne yet, so she should try to avoid lead poisoning.

Erkang frowned, wishing he could rush in and wake the Fifth Prince up.

Yongqi is so naive! How could he sleep now? Shufangzhai is in dire straits. If he falls asleep, what will happen to Xiaoyanzi? What will happen to Ziwei?

"Empress Yu, human life is at stake. We wouldn't bother you unless it was a matter of urgency. Could you please have some mercy on Little Swallow, who is lying on the bed?"

"Fuerkang, Xiaoyanzi made a scene at the Lantern Festival today. Do you want to follow her example and have the team leader Jieming come to my Yonghe Palace and make a scene as well?" Concubine Yu asked majestically.

Fu Erkang had no choice but to give in. "Erkang dare not, please calm down, Your Majesty."

"You don't dare? I used to be in Mount Wutai, so I couldn't reach out that far. But now it's different. I'm Yongqi's mother, so I naturally care about him. It's best if you're looking for him on an important matter, and don't bother him with any random people."

Concubine Yu scraped off the tea foam and said calmly, "Yongqi is a prince. He has serious things to do. Do you understand what I mean?"

"……Yes."

"Erkang! Are we going back like this? We haven't even seen the Fifth Prince yet. How are we going to explain this to Xiaoyanzi? They'll be so disappointed. Have you ever thought about this, Erkang?"

Benjamin chased after Falcon who was walking in front.

"You're smart and have lots of ideas. Can you think of another solution?"

"What can I do? What can I do, Benjamin? Did you hear what Concubine Yu said? I am the imperial guard and the eldest son of the Fu family! She humiliated me to the ground, what else can I do!" Erkang roared.

After listening to the lively talk, Lu Yi silently gave Concubine Yu a thumbs up in his heart. Thinking that there was still a show to perform tomorrow, Lu Yi breathed a sigh of relief and slept until dawn.
