Quick Wear: The first person to love the host

Chapter 405 The Substitute Bride Becomes a Reality (6)

When Eunuch Li got angry, the maids serving in the room immediately fell silent.

The steward standing nearby immediately spoke up, "Eunuch Li, please calm down. Please wait a little longer. You know His Highness's temperament. We old servants are not in a position to rush him!"

Eunuch Li glanced at him and said, "We can wait, but His Majesty cannot."

The sun was high in the sky outside the window, and it was almost noon. He had been sitting there for a full hour, and the tea he had drunk was making a gurgling sound in his stomach.

The eldest prince's mother died early, and his maternal family had little influence. He only had some military officers supporting him in the court. The emperor bestowed the daughter of the powerless Vice Minister of Rites upon him, which was a perfunctory marriage that everyone could see.

He originally wanted to find fault with Qiao and go back to report, but he never expected to be left hanging here for so long. This eldest prince has really been in the frontier for too long and doesn't take them eunuchs seriously.

The steward tried to persuade him again and again, but to no avail. Eunuch Li insisted on going to the main courtyard, so the steward had no choice but to lead the way, and he didn't forget to give him a heads-up beforehand.

The distance from the front hall to the main courtyard is only about the length of an incense stick's time.

The closer you get to the main courtyard, the quieter it becomes. Even the usually chirping birds are silent, with only the soft rustling of the wind through the bamboo leaves.

The courtyard gate was open, and Eunuch Li stopped in front of it.

He hesitated for a moment, thinking of the First Prince's title of "Ghost-Faced Demon," then turned his head and instructed, "I suddenly remembered that I left something in the front hall. Xiao Yunzi, go and fetch it, then wait outside the gate!"

The eunuch who was given the order was his godson, who was usually very clever.

The two exchanged a glance, and Xiaoyunzi immediately understood her godfather's meaning, so she accepted the order and withdrew.

The steward had already sent a servant to the main house to inform the other servants. The maid who returned reported that His Highness and the Imperial Concubine had just gone to bed, and that His Highness had given an order before going to sleep: "No one is allowed to disturb us."

"Sleeping again?"

Eunuch Li was filled with disbelief. He looked up at the sky and wondered how much time had passed since last night. Even if the eldest prince was exceptionally talented, it couldn't be this exaggerated!

Isn't he afraid of dying from exhaustion?

Eunuch Li stood at the door, caught in a dilemma.

In the end, his ambition to offer himself as a pledge of allegiance to the Second Prince prevailed. He gritted his teeth, pushed aside the steward and maid, and walked alone to the door of the main house. Standing at the door, he began to shout, "Your Highness, I have come to pay my respects on the Emperor's orders."

The air was eerily quiet.

After a while, a sound finally came from inside the room. An arrow flew out of the window and landed right in Li Gonggong's hair bun.

At the same time, a low, furious roar followed: "Get in here!"

Eunuch Li was terrified on the spot.

By the time he realized what was happening, his legs had given way and he had fallen to the ground. The butler went over and helped him up, his eyes conveying a sense of 'See, I didn't want you to come.'

Eunuch Li gave a bitter smile, but his expression was stiff and his smile looked rather ferocious. He looked around, trying to find someone to give him a way out, but everyone took three steps back.

Eunuch Li had no choice but to clench his fists and tell himself that the eldest prince wouldn't really kill him unless he wanted to rebel.

It doesn't seem like it's impossible; this man has hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command.

The more Eunuch Li thought about it, the more panicked he became. He had long lost the arrogance he had when he first arrived, and all he could think about was that he could return to the palace alive. He finally realized that he had been given a deadly mission.

Pushing open the door, Eunuch Li entered with heavy steps.

He lowered his head and bowed respectfully, "Greetings... Your Highness. I convey His Majesty's decree: His Majesty understands that you and the Imperial Consort are newly married and are exempt from coming to the palace to pay your respects."

Then came a bunch of useless auspicious sayings.

"I know, get out!"

A single sentence floated lightly on the bed.

Perhaps unaware of the murderous intent, Eunuch Li's fear subsided slightly. Before leaving, he glanced unconsciously at the bed and saw the two people embracing intimately.

What surprised him most was the tender light in the Crown Prince's eyes when he looked at the Imperial Consort; that light could not possibly be faked.

Having seen countless people in the palace, Eunuch Li could distinguish between genuine and feigned intentions.

"What are you standing there for? Are you looking for death?!"

Qi Jinyu glared at him, and Eunuch Li immediately scurried out, not forgetting to close the door behind him.

Once the person was out of sight, the person held tightly in the arms finally couldn't hold back any longer and struggled a few times in protest, saying, "They're gone."

The subtext is, stop acting.

Qi Jinyu hummed in agreement, but her hand remained on Su Ziyu's waist, showing no intention of moving it away.

Su Ziyu was speechless. He was already feeling unwell from the heat, and now Qi Jinyu was coming over like a giant furnace. Did he even want to rest and recover properly?

He stretched out his leg to kick, "Get down."

Qi Jinyu not only didn't move, but also took the opportunity to pinch his calf and stroke it up and down. "Doctor Jiang said that if you drink the medicine and sweat it out, the fever will go down. Be good, I'll help you sweat it out."

I have never seen such a shameless person.

Old color blank.

Su Ziyu glared at him fiercely, "You still have the nerve to say that? Doctor Jiang had already prescribed the medicine, but because of you, he added a bunch of Coptis chinensis to the prescription."

He almost died from the bitterness when he drank the medicine.

My tongue still tastes bitter!

Seeing that this girl was determined not to budge, Su Ziyu could only continue, "You still have time to waste here? You were so disrespectful to that eunuch just now. He will definitely speak ill of you to the emperor when he returns to the palace. You should hurry up and think of a way to deal with it."

"What emperor? You should call me Father Emperor like I do," Qi Jinyu reminded him, pinching his calf.

Does this person even know how to focus on the important points?!

He cared more about whether he addressed the emperor as "Father Emperor" than whether the emperor would suspect him because of slanderous words from petty people.

Is Qi Jinyu just too confident, or is her thought process just that peculiar?

Su Ziyu didn't understand, but he knew that if the eldest prince continued to harass him, pinching him here and touching him there, he really wouldn't be able to resist punching him.

Please, he's just there to make up the numbers, he's not after the femme fatale who brought ruin to the country.

"Don't worry, he knows what to say. Besides, no matter what he says, Father won't blame him right now. He's waiting for me and the second prince, Qi Haolian, to fight so he can sit securely on his throne."

Qi Jinyu spoke very directly.

It's as if you're standing from the perspective of an outsider, without a trace of personal emotion.

"you..."

Su Zi wanted to look up, but only saw his stubble-covered chin before his eyes were covered by a warm hand. Qi Jinyu urged him, "Go to sleep."

Meanwhile, Eunuch Li left the First Prince's residence and headed towards the palace.

On the way, Eunuch Li gently lifted the sedan curtain and asked Xiao Yunzi, who was following outside, "Well, have you found out the details?"

Xiao Yunzi immediately replied respectfully, "Reporting to Godfather, I have found out. I heard that the eldest prince and the imperial concubine were very passionate in bed, and there was blood on their wedding dress. Moreover, they called a doctor early this morning, supposedly because the imperial concubine had a fever."

Eunuch Li's eyes darkened slightly as he lowered the curtain.

Back in the palace, he subtly implied that the eldest prince was tyrannical and tormented the imperial concubine in bed, to the point that she needed to call the imperial physician the next day.

However, he still didn't guess the emperor's intentions, and his attempt to sow discord completely failed.

The emperor, who had been looking at the memorials impeaching the eldest prince on the table with a gloomy face, burst into laughter when he heard Eunuch Li say that the two had not only consummated their marriage but had done so very passionately. "He truly is my son."
