Pei Zian was so scared that he immediately kneeled down and said in a flustered manner, "Sir, I didn't do anything wrong!"
Yan Su said with a straight face, "You can't leave. From now on, you just have to take care of the Empress. If you dare to take a step back, I'll behead you."
Pei Zi Yun nodded his head vigorously, "Yes, yes. This lowly one will not take a single step out of the room."
"Yes." Only then did Yan Su put away his knife.
Xiao Die ran in from outside with a bag of clothes in her arms. Yan Su nodded at her and went out.
Xiao Die was getting ready to change Leng Qiyue's clothes, but she found Pei Zian standing in the room in a daze, so she said, "You go out."
Pei Zi Yun felt wronged as he replied, "Just now, if that official didn't let me out, I would have been beheaded."
Black lines appeared on Die's face as she pushed him out of the room, holding onto the table tightly.
Yan Su seemed to recall this matter. He walked in, picked up Pei Zi Yun and threw him out of the door. "Empress, you are not allowed to stay in the room while you change your clothes and take a bath."
Pei Zi Yun leaned on the floor and asked weakly, "Where's the restroom?"
Yan Su walked out and intentionally stepped on his back. He said harshly, "What do you think?"
Ahh, my lord, I know." "Pizan screamed as he was trampled.
Xiao Die put down the curtain, scrubbed Leng Qiyue's body with warm water, then put on some clean clothes for her.
She sighed softly, "Esteemed Empress, it is raining heavily outside again. However, there is no need to be afraid. But Empress, what are you doing so desperate? Although I've only been a human for a short time, but I also know that if I die, I would be left with nothing. Little Butterfly really didn't understand. The Empress just got up and told Little Butterfly. "Oh right, Lord Wang made a lot of steamed buns and steamed buns, which he gave to the common people. The common people always say it's delicious when they eat it. It seems that the wheat in the future will be as precious as the white rice."
Leng Qiyue did not have any reaction. Little Butterfly lightly sighed, sitting there in a daze.
Yan Su walked in and said, "There's nothing else to do here. Let's bring the Empress back to Li Jiang City to rest. There's a carriage outside the door, you should pack up." With that, he stepped forward and lifted up Leng Qiyue.
Xiao Die looked around and followed him.
Outside was a simple carriage with a thick blanket inside. It was obvious that he was very diligent.
Wang Ming did not follow them back to the city. There were still a lot of things he needed to take care of here.
When he returned to the station, Pei Zian became Leng Qiyue's personal doctor. He was the one who made the medicine for her. As long as Little Butterfly moved her mouth, it was enough. She also experienced the taste of a young miss.
At the same time, the Imperial Palace had also received news of Leng Qiyue's severe illness. This news was truly joyous and worrisome.
The emperor sent doctors and a large number of Imperial Guards to Lijiang City to pick up Leng Qiyue. The empress dowager, on the other hand, was half happy and half worried. The happiest person on the side was Lin Fei. She really wanted Leng Qiyue to die.
In the end, the empress dowager had her own foresight. She looked at the excited Lin Fei and poured a bucket of cold water on her. "Don't be happy too early. After all, that girl isn't dead yet. If she really is, then it's fine." If she returns safely, do you think that her position will be as stable as Mt. Tai? "
Lin Fei's eyes shot out a fierce glare at these words. "Esteemed Empress Dowager, didn't you manage to catch the killer you sent out last time?"
The empress dowager said coldly, "That woman failed. This Dowager has already sent her to where she should go."
Lin Fei asked, "Then no one else can use it? It would be best to get rid of her on the way. "
The empress dowager shook her head. "That won't do. Now that the emperor has sent people to pick up that slut, if we act rashly, we'll definitely be caught. For the time being, we can only pray that the heavens will make that slut unable to return."
Lin Fei remained silent as she sat gloomily at the side.
The welcoming staff rushed towards Lijiang City on horseback, but the two imperial physicians who were accompanying them nearly broke their bones.
By the time they arrived at Linjiang, it was already two days ago. Leng Qiyue had long since woken up from her coma. She saw the two imperial physicians kneeling in front of her and couldn't help but laugh, because these two looked extremely pathetic.
Leng Qiyue said, "I'm feeling very well, so you guys can go rest first."
The two imperial physicians withdrew gratefully, and one of the imperial guards stepped forward. "Reporting to the Empress, the Emperor wishes for you to depart for the palace as soon as possible."
Leng Qiyue glanced at Pei Zai, who was dozing off beside the table and said, "Tell the Emperor that I'm taking a man back to the palace to be a doctor. If he agrees, I'll set off immediately."
The guard didn't dare to ask any further questions and went out to deliver Leng Qiyue's message to the palace with a pigeon.
Not long after, Dongfang Haotian replied. He indifferently said: "Since my beloved concubine likes it, then I'll keep it."
Leng Qiyue pursed her lips, she actually didn't provoke that guy. How boring.
The Imperial Guards rested for one day, and the next day they set out for the capital. Before leaving, Leng Qiyue had done three things. The first was to tell Wang Ming that Mo Chou was a woman, but he could not be looked down upon. He could just continue using her in the future. The second was that she had drawn a reformation map of the Lijiang River. The third was to hand over the silver notes that he had found on the pope's body to Wang Ming, so that he could reward the civilians and soldiers who had participated in digging up the channels.
Leng Qiyue originally wanted to leave quietly, but when the people of Lijiang City heard that she was leaving, they all lined up to send her off. She had no choice but to raise the curtain of the carriage and wave to the people.
It wasn't easy to get out of the city, but those commoners looked at him with reluctance. Leng Qiyue was their goddess in their hearts, not some imperial concubine. In fact, in the eyes of the people, who could bring them a comfortable life and a good day was the most important.
Xiao Die sat in the car and asked, "Esteemed wangfei, all the doctors in the palace are royal, why did you bring that silly boy along?"
Leng Qiyue laughed, "Although he is usually muddle-headed, his medical skills are indeed good. Think about it, there are so many doctors in the palace, how do you know if they have a master behind them? Pei Zian was born and raised in Lijiang City, and he has never left the city before. Only such a person would be safe. "
"Oh, although this servant does not understand the conflicts in the palace, this servant knows that there are definitely people in the palace who do not wish for the Empress to return."
"Hur hur, Xiao Die has learned to think too. In fact, the hardest thing to be is a human being. I really don't understand why you like being a human being so much." Leng Qiyue said indifferently.
Xiao Die retorted, "How can you say it is hard to be a person? Your servant has also had her days as a person for a while, so I didn't feel that it was difficult at all! "
Leng Qiyue smiled mockingly, "Humans are more complicated than monsters. Look at me, I'm laughing. Do you know what I'm thinking right now?"
Xiao Die shook her head, "I don't know."
Leng Qiyue continued, "Yes, you won't know. "Actually, I was wondering if the cockroach on your body could have entered through your collar."
Hearing that, Xiao Die screamed and slapped her collar, her face turning pale. Leng Qiyue said in amusement, "Why do women always fear cockroaches? "Alright, there's no cockroach at all. I lied to you."
Xiao Die looked at Leng Qiyue with tears in her eyes, feeling wronged. "Empress, how could you lie?"
Leng Qiyue indifferently said, "I only gave you the image of a villain who doesn't match on the surface. I'm smiling at you, but in reality, I'm just watching you make a joke out of yourself."
Xiao Die said with dissatisfaction, "Young lady, please don't tease this servant. You have really succeeded in not acting on the surface."
Leng Qiyue faintly smiled, "People don't always look the same, but there are many that are even more vicious. You will know when the time comes that the harem is the best place to train. There will be a day when you will see through human nature and you will never want to be a human again."
Xiao Die shook her head, "No, I have always yearned for a human's life. If I could, I would give up everything and become a real person."
Leng Qiyue said no more. There were some things that could not be forced upon others, even if it was for her own good. Little Butterfly was too simple, and didn't have any scheming in mind. Deep in her heart, she also hoped that Little Butterfly could remain as innocent as ever.
"Protect the Empress — there's an assassin!" someone shouted from outside the carriage.
Leng Qiyue suddenly felt the carriage slow down as her body pounced forward. She rolled out of the carriage and shot a sharp arrow at her face, nailing it to the floor of the carriage.
