When Yu Ying'er entered the room, the emperor suddenly appeared in front of her, almost frightening her to death, causing her face to become even paler than if she had put on powder.

"Ying'er, you haven't fully recovered yet, why did you come to the Yangxin Palace to report your safety to me? If you have anything to say, just tell the servants to come and tell me." The emperor had just had the idea of ​​being nice to Yu Ying'er. At this moment, his mind and eyes were full of Yu Ying'er. Seeing her pale face, he couldn't help but worry that she was not feeling well.

Yu Ying'er was stared at by such a pair of affectionate old eyes, and she got goose bumps all over her body. Then she forced an ugly smile and said, "Your Majesty, I'm fine."

No, I came to plead for mercy for the Queen. How can you be so shameless that you think I came to tell you that I am safe?

Yu Ying'er felt like vomiting, but her expression remained flawless because of the acting habit she had developed over the years. Her eyes were so affectionate that even she could look at a dog.

"It's okay! Look at your face, how ugly. Don't you know how to take care of yourself when I'm not by your side?" After saying that, the emperor wanted to pick up Princess Yu Ying'er and put her on the bed.

But... I failed to lift the baby the first time and almost dropped it. It was a bit embarrassing. I tried the second time and I did lift the baby, but he walked so shakily. After a few steps, his face turned red and veins bulged. It was really embarrassing.

Su Peisheng couldn't bear to watch it, so he turned his eyes away and pulled his disciple's sleeve, signaling him to keep silent and not look up.

Chunxi followed suit and lowered her head, not daring to speak, but she was actually smiling from ear to ear. If it were possible for her not to talk about the emperor, she would have gone back and talked to Chunle about it.

After finally putting Yu Ying'er on the bed, the emperor felt his legs trembling and his heart beating so violently that he felt as if it was about to explode. He quickly asked the little palace maid who was as tall as a pillar in the room to pour him some tea and he drank several sips before he recovered.

Seeing the emperor like this, Yu Ying'er's mouth twitched slightly, not knowing what to say.

The emperor is old after all.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Concubine Hua was under house arrest?" Yu Ying'er asked cautiously, ignoring the emperor's embarrassment. Not asking about the emperor's embarrassment was also another way to protect the emperor's meager face.

When the emperor heard the words "Noble Concubine Hua", his face suddenly turned cold. All the embarrassment just now disappeared. He turned to look at Yu Ying'er and just stared at her sideways.

"She looked for you?" The emperor really couldn't accept the fact that in Yu Ying'er's mind, Nian Shilan was more important than himself, so he chose to deceive himself.

When Yu Ying'er saw the emperor's expression, she knew that he was unhappy, so she pursed her lips and didn't know how to answer.

"Ying'er, you haven't recovered yet, so just rest in the Yangxin Palace. Don't worry about Shilan's affairs. She has become more and more willful. She dared to confront me yesterday, and she will dare to attack me tomorrow. If I don't teach her a lesson, she will not be able to tell who is the master of the Qing Dynasty. What's more, I just put her under house arrest yesterday, and today I let her out for Ying'er. Where can I put my face?" The emperor felt that Shilan was getting more and more out of his control, and she didn't love him as much as before. He was unhappy and wanted to teach her a lesson.

What you said... Yu Ying'er was speechless. How dare I attack you? I want to pick up the dragon-slaying sword.

"I understand. I don't ask His Majesty to release Concubine Hua, but I do ask His Majesty to allow me to see the Empress." Yu Ying'er has called Nian Shilan "Empress" for many years and always regards Nian Shilan as the person she admires and respects the most. As for the emperor, he is not even on the list.

The emperor frowned, looked at Yu Ying'er's pale face, but her eyes were looking at him expectantly, and finally he softened his heart.

"Okay, I promise you. But you also have to promise me that you must take good care of yourself and stay healthy." The emperor gently rubbed Yu Ying'er's head, then lowered his head to look at her face to face, his eyes full of affection, staring straight at Yu Ying'er.

Yu Ying'er felt like she was almost impatient, but as if by habit, she responded with deep affection and nodded gently: "I understand. I will listen to the emperor."

"Well, go to sleep." The emperor retracted his head, stood up straight, and helped Yu Ying'er lie down. "You rest first. I'm going to the outer room to review memorials. I'll come to accompany you later."

Yu Ying'er hummed softly and closed her eyes obediently.

After the emperor walked out of the inner room, Yu Ying'er quietly opened her eyes and looked around. Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar room, she felt a little melancholy. Even Chunxi was isolated outside. She felt a little at a loss staying here alone.

It’s torture, so much torture.

Yu Ying'er was lying on the small couch where the emperor usually worked and rested. She could smell the faint scent of ambergris, but she did not feel it had any calming effect. On the contrary, it made Yu Ying'er feel unusually awake and she could not fall asleep.

"Qiqi." Yu Ying'er wanted to find someone to chat with, so she simply called Qiqi.

When there was no response after the first one, Yu Ying'er was already used to it. When there was no response after the second one, Yu Ying'er frowned slightly. When there was no response after the third one, Yu Ying'er started to panic.

"Qiqi? Are you there? Answer me!!" Yu Ying'er's brain seemed to explode. She kept using her thoughts to contact Qiqi and feel Qiqi's presence.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Yu Ying'er suddenly sat up.

The little palace maid standing by immediately stepped forward and asked, "Does Concubine Rou have any instructions?"

"No...it's okay." Yu Ying'er realized that she was a little too radical and said quickly, then tried to calm down, "I'm not sleepy, I want to go out for a walk."

"I will report to the Emperor right away. Please wait a moment, Imperial Concubine Rou." The little palace maid was neither humble nor arrogant. Even when she was facing the Imperial Concubine, she always remembered that her master was the Emperor and she must not act beyond his control.

Yu Ying'er nodded slightly and asked the little palace maid to go out and report.

But after a while the little palace maid came back and brought Chunxi in.

"Empress Rou, the emperor said that now is the time for you to rest and you should not walk around. Please have a good rest. The emperor also said that if you really want to go out for a walk, you should wait until he finishes dealing with state affairs and has dinner with you before he can go out for a walk with you." The little palace maid lowered her head slightly to report what the emperor had just said. Her facial expression remained calm, as if she was just a tool carrying out a task.

Yu Ying'er felt anxious when she saw that she couldn't get out, but she didn't want to make things difficult for a palace maid. After all, even if she did, she might not be able to get out of the Yangxin Palace.

When the little palace maid saw that Yu Ying'er didn't give any more instructions, she stood back in her original position, acting like a pillar, neither moving nor speaking, looking dazed, listless and bored.

But often such underestimated little girls are the most loyal and the hardest to pry. It's a pity... she is just an ordinary little palace maid who serves tea.

Chunxi hurried to Yu Ying'er's side and asked anxiously, "Madam, are you okay?"

"Silly girl, I'm in the Yangxin Palace, not a dangerous place. What could happen?" Yu Ying'er comforted the little girl who had become more and more sentimental and tearful in recent years.

Having said so, Chunxi still looked at Yu Ying'er with worry and distress.

At the same time, Nian Gengyao entered the palace. He was not alone, but brought a woman dressed in a green Manchu dress. The woman had a frosty face but a firm gaze. She looked in the direction of the palace with expectation and disgust.
