Time travel, quick transmigration

Because Li Longji was preoccupied with Yang Yuhuan, he barely ate any food at dinner last night. Even when Liu Yurong, whom he usually treated with great respect, came to see him, he had Gao Lishi turn her away. The already anxious emperor woke up before dawn today.

Recalling the harmonious atmosphere and his uncontrollable emotions yesterday, as well as Yang Yuhuan who moved him deeply, and the fact that Yang Yuhuan had unfortunately suffered a headache, Li Longji was filled with a mix of emotions.

"Lishi, there will be some delays in court today. After court, I still have to discuss matters with Li Linfu and a few other senior officials. There are so many matters that I don't know when I will be able to find the time. Take my decree and bring some nourishing medicinal herbs with you, and take Xue Hanjiang with you to Dongling Temple."

"Remember to tell her what I said, and tell her to take good care of her health. She is so young and should pay more attention to her health."

"Have Xue Hanjiang take a good look at her. Her headaches are so severe when they flare up. How can she continue like this? Tell Xue Hanjiang to find a way to cure her. Just say it's my decree and make sure he pays close attention."

"I will reward him handsomely for curing Lady Yang's headache."

Gao Lishi knelt down outside the dragon tent to receive the imperial decree.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, this servant will handle it perfectly."

The emperor, lying on his dragon bed, glanced at Gao Lishi through the bright yellow curtains.

"Go and prepare. I can't sleep right now, so I might as well get up. It's better than lying on the couch all alone."

Gao Lishi felt very distressed upon hearing this.

"It's still early, and there's still some time before the morning court session. Your Majesty, please close your eyes a little longer."

Li Longji, however, did not hear and sat up from his bed.

"By the way, you reported to me yesterday about the assassins and death squads that attacked Dongling Temple. Have you made any progress? Have you found the mastermind behind it?"

Given that Li Longji had lost his temper yesterday, Gao Lishi dared not delay and immediately went to investigate. He was already mentally prepared that Li Longji would ask about it, so he bowed and reported back.

"Your Majesty, I have sent my men to investigate secretly. They have only discovered that the mastermind may be a noblewoman in the inner palace, but we will have to wait some more to find out who it is. The mastermind has been very careful to conceal her identity and has destroyed all traces of her activities afterward, so..."

Li Longji's phoenix eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Investigate carefully for me. How dare they cause trouble in my palace? It's clear they don't take me seriously at all. Who knows if the mastermind behind this is targeting me or Yang Guifei? I think someone is plotting a rebellion. They not only spy on my whereabouts but also dare to openly touch people they shouldn't."

The emperor's anger could bring disaster to countless people, and Gao Lishi immediately knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

"No one in the palace would dare to have any disloyalty to His Majesty. They wouldn't dare even if they had ten times the courage."

"Your Majesty, please entrust this matter to me. I will certainly investigate the matter thoroughly."

Li Longji exhaled a breath of stale air and hummed softly.

"I want to see who is trying to rebel against the heavens... I have always trusted you to get things done."

Then, changing the subject, he said in a slow and deliberate tone.

"Perhaps I am truly getting old, for I can no longer even get a good night's sleep. In my youth, when I was young and in my prime, I slept soundly and never woke up, but now I can no longer find peace of mind."

"Li Shi, do you think Yu Huan might also think I'm too old for her? I saw her so closely yesterday, she was so vibrant and beautiful, her skin was as smooth as cream, she was so young, at that moment I even wanted to devour her, to possess her completely. Ha... why am I telling you all this?"

"Help me get up."

The emperor's tone was subdued and low, revealing restraint and longing.

Gao Lishi straightened up with trepidation and went forward to hang up the dragon tent, showing no sign of the nervousness that he had overheard the emperor's secret thoughts.

After lunch, Gao Lishi efficiently selected and packed some medicinal herbs from the medicine storehouse, and then led Xue Hanjiang from the Imperial Medical Academy out of the palace.

At this moment, in Huanqing Residence, Shi Yan and Xiao Die had just finished lunch. Shi Yan was sitting on the small couch by the bed, reading a travelogue.

"Yan Yan, Gao Lishi, who is close to the Emperor, has brought the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital to treat you."

0804's voice was cheerful, but there was a hint of schadenfreude in it.

Shi Yan was taken aback when she heard this.

"See a doctor? What illness? When did I get sick? How come I didn't know it myself?"

"Don't you always use headaches to deal with emergencies? Don't forget, the emperor cares about you quite a bit."

0804's sweet, childlike voice is undeniably adorable, but Shi Yan's voice somehow manages to sound a bit cheeky.

"Xiao Ba, you seem to have become bad."

“You’re not cute at all like this. An uncute little dumpling isn’t lovable. So I’m thinking about whether I should just be a stranger to you.”

0804 immediately shut up upon hearing this and dared not be arrogant anymore.

"I was wrong, Yan Yan. You are a great beauty and have a great mind. Don't stoop to the level of a weak and helpless little Ba."

Shi Yan raised her chin slightly with a smug look and closed the book.

"Don't you even know who's behind this? If you were so capable, I wouldn't need to use a headache as an excuse to save myself. The imperial physician will come and examine me and find out there's nothing wrong with my head. That'll give me away."

"Tell me, how should I handle this?"

0804 flew out of Shi Yan's sea of ​​consciousness in a flash, hugging its little arms and looking at Shi Yan.

"Don't worry, Yan Yan, I'm here and you won't be exposed. I have a kind of dizziness pill here. If you take it, you'll look like you really have a headache, and your pulse will be similar to what you'd expect. Once you take it, I guarantee that imperial physician will be at a loss and question his existence."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yan immediately lost her composure.

"Xiao Ba, tell me honestly, what other hidden skills or cheats do you have that you haven't reported?"

"You have ready-made pills, so why did you give me some kind of formula last time and tell me to find the herbs and mix them myself? You could have just given them to me directly."

0804 immediately refuted this.

"I'm not hiding anything from you. You never asked me, did you? It's your fault for being so indifferent to me."

"I secretly hid the dizziness pills when I was doing other missions before, just in case. Last time you needed something, I only had the recipe, and I haven't even used it once, okay? Where would I get something ready-made for you?"

"I wouldn't have given you these things if I didn't like you."

0804's smug little expression amused Shi Yan. Shi Yan felt a little guilty, as she had almost wronged it. So she rubbed 0804's fluffy head, lowered her voice, and looked at it with a smile in her eyes.

"Thank you so much! I'm really happy to have won over Little Baba."

……

"My lady, Eunuch Gao has brought the imperial physician here specifically to treat your headache, and he has also brought a lot of nourishing herbs and tonics."

The sound of butterflies came first, then the people arrived.

Shi Yan glanced at her as she walked to the bedside.

"Tell them to wait a moment, I'll tidy up here first."

"Remember to bring two cups of tea later."

Xiaodie nodded and hurried out again.

"Xiao Ba, quickly give me the dizziness pills, I need to prepare."

The voice of 0804 echoed in her mind.

"Yan Yan, close your eyes, imagine you are eating something, and then open your eyes."

Shi Yan did as instructed and felt something cool slide down her throat.

"It's so amazing, I hope there won't be any side effects."

0804 calmly replied.

"of course not."
