Why do you always rush to join me after awakening?

Chapter 128 Daru's love for Ling Yunche is heavy

"Have you delivered the bowl?"

"Uh-huh."

Wei Yanwan looked at Chunchan, who was pursing her lips as if she had encountered something, and joked, "If you keep frowning on this little face, you'll get wrinkles."

"Master, you are teasing me."

"What's wrong? You've been sullen ever since we got back from the fight."

Chun Chan then came over and whispered in a sneaky voice, "Master, when I was delivering the bowl just now, I thought I heard Guard Ling's voice."

"???"

"Ling Yunche? What did he say?"

"When I heard him calling my name, the sound was like a knife piercing his throat. It was so unpleasant..."

At this time, Ling Yunche was drinking water with difficulty. He wanted to get better quickly and get out of here.

"Hey, these are all good bowls this time, you can't keep breaking them."

"Do you know the man who delivered the bowl?"

"I do not know."

"Why did she give you the bowl for no reason?"

"You're such a talkative person. Okay, I don't have time to waste on this nonsense."

The place where Ling Yunche and the others were lying was very simple. If it weren't for the support of a shed, the snow would have covered them.

As fewer and fewer people enter the cold room, people outside can move in.

"I'm quite curious. It's been so many days since you came in. Why aren't you well yet?"

Not only was the little palace maid curious, even Ling Yunche himself was puzzled.

He had never been sick since he was a child and had always been in good health. However, this smallpox epidemic almost took his life.

If it weren't for this little palace maid taking care of him, he might have died of thirst.

It is said that hot water can cure all diseases.

With someone to talk to him, Ling Yunche actually started to get better.

However, by the time he was able to leave, the little palace maid had disappeared.

Ling Yunche glanced at the bowl in his hand, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Hey, why should I take out a bowl..."

In Yongshou Palace, Jinzhong's clothes were half taken off and he was pressed on the bed by Wei Yanwan. His eyes were flushed with shame, but he refused to give in even a step.

"Master Ling, please let me go..."

"Wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

"But why do I have to take off my clothes to wear knee pads~"

"You don't understand. This is the only way to see if it fits you."

"Why are you asking me to wear a bellyband like this? Isn't it something for girls?"

"This is warm. Who says only girls can wear it? It's the new year, so I can't give you boots. At least I need to buy you some new underwear."

Finally, under Wei Yanwan's coercion and inducement, Jinzhong was finally fully armed.

After a lot of hard work, the two of them could vaguely see beads of sweat on their bodies. It was obvious that the temperature in the room was not low.

As the emperor's most beloved noblewoman, she will never lack charcoal throughout the winter.

"I feel a little hot, Master Ling."

To be honest, Wei Yanwan hadn't thought about this at all before the incident. Now that Jinzhong said it was hot, she actually looked a little embarrassed.

"I made a pair of shoes for you before, but I didn't finish them. Fu Jia saw them, so I definitely can't give them to you."

Jinzhong took Wei Yanwan's hand lovingly, rubbing it on his face, and whispered, "This servant doesn't need these things. Master Ling, please don't do these things in the future. I will feel bad if you tire yourself out."

Wei Yanwan seemed to have remembered something and pulled her hand out of Jinzhong's palm, lamenting, "If I don't show some appreciation, I'm afraid Rong Pei will have prepared everything for you."

The smile on Jinzhong's face froze instantly. The warmth of Master Ling still lingered in his hands. He then propped himself up and sat up next to Wei Yanwan, explaining, "I gave that insole to someone else. How could I possibly use it?"

"It's been so long, do you think I don't know?"

Jinzhong said nervously, "I really confiscated it, and Xiao Xizi can testify to that."

Seeing how nervous he was, Wei Yanwan couldn't help but laugh out loud. She turned around and hugged Jinzhong's neck, saying coquettishly, "How could I be so scared by you?"

Seeing that Wei Yanwan was not really angry, Jinzhong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I guess Concubine Xian's house arrest will be lifted soon. The Emperor seems to have that intention."

"I actually hope she can stay away from it, so Rong Pei won't be clinging to you."

Jinzhong thoroughly enjoyed Wei Yanwan's jealousy towards him, but he didn't want to leave her feeling uneasy, so he reminded her, "The Emperor has never reclaimed Concubine Xian's authority to assist in the management of the six palaces. After the smallpox incident, the Empress's focus will likely shift away from the harem."

"Don't worry, I know it."

"Oh, there's one more thing I just learned today. Ever since Ling Yunche contracted the smallpox, he's been isolated in the courtyard near the antique house with the eunuchs and palace maids. I don't know who did this."

When Wei Yanwan heard what Jinzhong said, she immediately remembered that what Chunchan said a few days ago about Ling Yunche calling her was not false.

But who could have locked Ling Yunche up with the eunuchs and palace maids?

Obviously, some guards were sick, and they were all isolated separately.

Could it be that Ling Yunche offended someone?

I really can’t figure it out. Forget it, I’ll just stop thinking about it.

Before he knew it, Ling Yunche didn't even know when he had arrived at Yiku Palace.

Looking at the tightly closed door in front of him, Ling Yunche was slightly stunned and murmured, "What's going on? Concubine Xian——"

"Today, the Emperor ordered the lifting of Concubine Xian's house arrest. Fortunately, the Seventh Prince is well now, otherwise we would have to stay here for a long time."

Ling Yunche was a little confused. Why was Concubine Xian under house arrest again for no reason?

But it’s okay, at least she is not sent to the cold palace like before.

During the days that Ruyi was under house arrest, she was either sleeping or fiddling with her armor, without any concern about whether she would be disliked by the emperor.

Suo Xin continued to do what she was supposed to do and was not affected at all.

Rong Pei, on the other hand, looked haggard.

It is unbelievable that she, a mere Baturu of the Qing Dynasty, would have a day when she was heartbroken by love.

-

"Ling Yunche? Why do you look so haggard?"

"Your Majesty, I have just come out of the quarantine area."

If Ling Yunche had not suddenly appeared in Yiku Palace today, Ruyi would have forgotten that Ling Yunche also had smallpox.

Ruyi stood up and walked to Ling Yunche. She reached out and touched his thin jaw, saying distressedly, "You've lost weight. You've suffered a lot these days."

Ling Yunche looked at the cup of hot tea on the table and couldn't help swallowing.

The corners of his lips were cracked and white, and Ling Yunche's hands and feet were now cold.

It's only in the Yiku Palace that you can stay warm for a while.

"Your Majesty, I am a little thirsty."

"Okay, I'll pour you some water."

Soon, Ruyi poured Ling Yunche a bowl of cold water, and said in a considerate manner, "Hot water doesn't quench your thirst, so I poured you some cold water. Drink it, if you don't have enough, there's more."

And she didn't notice Ling Yunche's trembling hands at all.

The ice is red...
