Of the eunuchs in the palace, only by sheer luck would they have died a few years ago. Li Rou was smart and quick-witted, while Li Qing did not allow him to get close to her before, so he did some information work. Only by relying on being able to give Li Qing some useful information did he persevere by Li Qing's side. Of course, this was all thanks to his vow and his gratitude towards Eunuch Li.
Other than Eunuch Li, there was also someone in the palace that could control him. Even if it was his majesty, the king was the lord of the world, so he was naturally his master.
Li Rou felt that she wasn't afraid of death. If she could die with a good reputation, she could let her master remember that he wasn't afraid of risking his life for her master. Of course, he also desired power.
"This servant is His Highness's slave. In my heart, from now on, only His Highness is the only master." Li Rou knelt down. Since he had acknowledged her master, he would not lie to her. He could not deny what happened in the past, but he had clearly told her of his future path.
"Okay. As long as I am alive, I will protect you for one day."
"I want you to do something."
Lin mama's leg was injured, so she couldn't get close enough to serve a noble, but she was afraid that other people wouldn't be able to serve her, so she found four bamboos and asked them to stand guard at night, two in the first half and two in the second half.
Red bamboo green bamboo in the first half of the night, purple bamboo orchid in the second half.
Ru Yi started burning in the middle of the night.
Red Bamboo exclaimed in a small voice and was about to find someone to call for the imperial physician when he saw Li Rou enter the hall at an unknown time. She looked into her eyes and said, "His Highness doesn't call out to alarm others."
At this time, the red bamboo could no longer blame Li Rou for entering the room without permission, so it whispered to him, "What do you know, His Highness has a fever? If we don't call him an imperial physician, could it be that His Highness has always been ill?"
Green Bamboo also chimed in, her eyes turning red from anxiety. "His Highness' face is burning red." You're still arguing about this here. "
Li Rou refused to budge an inch. "During the day, His Highness ordered that no matter what happens at night, no one is to be disturbed."
Red Bamboo pointed at his nose and said, "His Royal Highness didn't tell me, who knows if you're talking nonsense here!"
Li Rou shook her head. "Whether it is nonsense or not, when His Highness wakes up, it will all be clear to me. But what His Highness said before, I want to carry it out perfectly."
Red Bamboo stomped his feet in anger. "How can you not make sense? Could it be that His Highness knows that she will be ill? If you don't let her call the imperial physician, then if there's a chance, then who will bear the responsibility?"
Green Bamboo took another look at Ru Yi and whispered, "You two better not talk too much," he said to Hong Zhu. "You stay calm, I don't think Young Master Li will speak any nonsense." He then asked Li Rou, "Does Your Highness have any other instructions?"
Li Rou shook her head. "Your Highness only said not to alarm others."
Green Bamboo took a deep breath. "Then, how about we think of something?" Or should I call out the purple bamboo and the blue bamboo as well? "
Li Rou still shook her head. His voice was calm as he said, "There are still two hours left at this time." In other words, it wasn't time for them to get up yet. If they were to forcefully look for them, it would be troublesome if others were to see it. At the very least, it would be contrary to His Highness' wishes.
Red Bamboo said, "If we don't call them now, when they come, won't we know the same?"
Green Bamboo reached out his hand to stop her, "That's enough, let's first think of a way to cool His Highness down." His Highness didn't want to alarm anyone else, but since we already know, we can't just stand there and watch. What do you think, Li Rou? "
This time, Li Rou was delighted. "I will listen to sister's instructions."
"Alright, then you go heat up some water on the little stove in our side hall. Add some hot water that won't burn your hands." He then said to the red bamboo, "You go and find some warm water first, we will serve His Highness and drink it together."
Red Bamboo felt that it was difficult for his hands to withstand four punches, so he resigned himself to fate. "Okay, then if the morning is still not good, I must find an imperial physician."
Green Bamboo gave Li Rou a deep look and replied with a nod, "Of course."
In the palace, Senior Servant Lin had taught them all these things. With those sickly young palace maids, Lin mama didn't ask them to attend to them, but instead had them watch others take care of the patient.
The princess had not been sick in the past few years, and the bamboo had been secretly proud of itself. Who would have thought that something like this would happen today?
She was wondering if this was because the princess and the king had been having an awkward time, but her hands didn't stop moving. Wiping the hot water on her forehead and armpits again and again, her palms and feet didn't miss anything. Red Bamboo also came over with some warm water, "I tried. This water just happens to enter my mouth."
Green Bamboo didn't bother wiping the sweat off her forehead with the handkerchief. She used her sleeve to wipe the sweat off her forehead. Her anxiety didn't show on her face, but her voice was hoarse. "Bring it over."
Li Rou stood at the side, her heart not in a hurry, she was looking forward to see if His Highness could continue with his fever. Besides the moment when His Highness had just returned, the rest of the time, no one had stopped, and Li Rou was also confused, as if His Highness knew that something was going to happen to him, she could only instruct him to look after the people in the hall, so that he could see how many of them could be of use.
If she could use this, she would only recognize her daughter as her master. However, if she told him, she wouldn't tell anyone else about it. Not to mention how the emperor would react if he knew about this, but his daughter's thoughts were beyond his comprehension.
Li Rou knew that if she wanted to be used by a girl and be used by a girl, she had to first show her absolute sincerity and loyalty. Of course, the most important thing was — her ability to do things.
If something went wrong tonight, and the princess woke up, he might not be able to use her anymore.
Ru Yi was burning in a daze as her mouth moved.
Red Bamboo looked at her without blinking and hurriedly said, "His Highness has spoken, quickly listen to what His Highness wants!"
Green Bamboo leaned his ear forward and shook his head after a while. His voice was too soft, making it impossible to hear.
Li Rou gritted her teeth and suggested, "Give His Highness some more water. I'll go get the quilt and try to sweat, right?" Green Bamboo nodded. Red Bamboo said, "I'll go. If you don't tell me to do something, I'm going crazy."
Soon, the blanket was brought over and Li Rou helped to cover Ru Yi's body. Green Bamboo's hand remained under the quilt, and after about the time it took for an incense stick to burn, she was pleasantly surprised to discover that her hand was moist. She quickly changed her hand to touch it, and was sure, "Your Highness is sweating."
Red Bamboo clasped his hands and chanted Buddha.
Li Rou also gave him an extremely faint smile.
Just before midnight, Zi Zhu and Lan Zhu came in. Fortunately, the ruyi's temperature had slowly dropped.
Green Bamboo and Red Bamboo were so tired that they were half-dead, but they didn't dare to leave for a moment. They said to the two, "In four more hours, His Highness will wake up. We might as well make a bed and rest for a while on the ground."
The Violet Bamboo Orchid Bamboo was eager for him to thank him, so how could he not?
Red Bamboo's heart was also big. He tugged at Green Bamboo's clothes. "If there's anything you need, you have to call me."
Green Bamboo was completely sleepless, so he nodded and whispered, "Take a rest, you still have to wait on His Highness during the day."
Ru Yi felt that she had forgotten a lot about what happened before she was five years old, but she clearly remembered one thing: if she ate ginger, she would get a fever. Ru Yi felt that she forgot a lot about what happened before she was five years old, but she clearly remembered one thing, if she ate ginger, she would get a fever.
The teacher asked her about her diet in detail and told her the conclusion. He was even spat on by Eldest Brother Du, saying that she was a Mongolian doctor who didn't know how to feign understanding. He had never heard that eating ginger would cause a fever.
Fortunately, she didn't like the taste of ginger, so she didn't eat much. It only took her a while to take her leave, and now that Du Su had some experience, she could only focus on not letting her burn it. After a night, when she saw that she had nothing to do with it, she warned her to not eat ginger in the future.
Tonight, there was a plate of crispy and crispy lotus root on the dinner table. She picked up a few pieces of ginger and ate them.
She missed her home, missed her parents, and thought of the home that she would probably never be able to return to.
Thinking about a dream that she might never be able to realize in her entire life.
She wanted to happily shout, "Mother!"
He turned around and planned to stay outside the screen until daybreak. In his heart, he was more eager than the bamboo and red bamboo for his daughter to get better, and even he was thinking, could it be that his daughter knows that he will have a fever?
If the princess really did know, was the fever intentional?
Li Rou shook her head. This was not something he should think about.
From tonight's performance, it seemed that Green Bamboo had grown old and was wary of the Grand Preceptor's orders. But Red Bamboo, if it wasn't for Green Bamboo suppressing her, he definitely wouldn't have been able to control her … It was better to wait until tomorrow to see the princess. Li Rou slowly closed her eyes.
She had taken care of the princess for five years, so she told her that the princess was the most perfect ruler she could comprehend. She did not like extravagance, did not choose food, and every meal only had a few dishes, and her clothes also did not like embroidery. She would not casually beat up the servants of the palace, regardless of whether or not she had done something wrong in front of her, she would be dealt with according to the rules …
The princess was actually a good master.
Previously, Green Bamboo had thought that the reason why she didn't want to be their palace maid was because she hadn't grown up. But now, she was starting to suspect that the current Li Rou and the old Eunuch Li Qing had arrived later than them.
When the bamboo thought of this, its chest began to burn.
In the middle of the night, Ru Yi woke up. Violet Bamboo Orchid Bamboo brought people to help her wash up. Green Bamboo stood by her side and Ru Yi glanced at her. Her green bamboo eyes were slightly red.
Ru Yi looked at the time she was missing and saw that there was still an hour left until the start of the morning. She waved her hand. "You can all leave and rest. You need to sit alone."
As soon as she finished speaking, the room quietened down. It was almost as if there was no breathing. After a few breaths of time, Zi Zhu and the others quickly responded in unison and quietly retreated.
The green bamboo's attack, on the other hand, was even more powerful.
She and Red Bamboo served His Highness for the longest time. Although His Highness' personality was a little cold, he liked to watch other people's liveliness; even if he became the princess, he never needed her to call himself that. He even had a dispute with her once, and it was even His Majesty who spoke.
