Chapter 1238: Ran Away Again!
Xie Yu said disdainfully, "I’m not a child anymore."But even as he said it, he still put the candy into his mouth.
Perhaps the medicine just now was too bitter, the taste of the candy was surprisingly sweet.
Xie Yu’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little.
He saw that a layer of glistening sweat had also appeared on Bai Zhi’er’s forehead.
He thought of how hard she worked with the needles just now, fiddling for an hour, and she hadn’t even sat down to rest properly.
Although Xie Yu didn’t like anyone associated with the Regent King Mansion, he still looked at the Chief Eunuch:
"Bring her a handkerchief."
Bai Zhi’er was a bit surprised.
This little emperor is not entirely heartless after all.
The Chief Eunuch, being perceptive, not only brought a handkerchief but also some tea and pastries.
"Thank you, young lady, for earlier," he smiled ingratiatingly.
Bai Zhi’er had no time to respond to him, drank half a pot of tea, and finally started to feel a bit less tired.
The needling had made her hands sore!
Over by the dragon bed, Xie Yu, feeling no pain, wanted to try standing up and taking a few steps.
The Chief Eunuch hurried over to assist him.
Unexpectedly, Xie Yu stood up on his own strength.
Although still a bit unsteady, the excruciating pain in his ankles had almost vanished when he walked.
The Chief Eunuch wept with joy, "Emperor! You can finally stand up!"
Xie Yu gave him a punch.
"I’ve always been able to stand," he said, glancing at Bai Zhi’er.
The look seemed to suggest that with her around, the Chief Eunuch should not speak rashly.
The Chief Eunuch understandingly nodded.
After the earlier exertion, Bai Zhi’er now felt hungry after drinking tea.
A small plate of snacks wasn’t enough to fill her!
"Xie Yu," she turned around, "ask your Imperial Chef to make me something to eat."
Her tone was natural, as if commanding her own younger brother.
Xie Yu frowned, "After tea, you want to eat something else?"
He seemed to be complaining, but he still turned and had the Chief Eunuch make arrangements.
Another little eunuch, with Xie Yu’s permission, led Bai Zhi’er to rest in the side hall of the bedroom.
"Young lady, you’ve worked hard," the little eunuch said with a compensatory smile, bowing as he withdrew.
Bai Zhi’er sat at the table, her right hand supporting her head, exhaling a tired breath.
In recent days, although she hadn’t seen her senior brother Yuan Zhen, she performed a divination for him in the Ruizhu Palace in the morning.
It showed imminent disaster.
Bai Zhi’er guessed that Xie Yu would definitely take action against the Yuan Residence.
She could help as much as she could.
With this in mind, she looked up to see the sky brightening outside the window.
Only then did she realize she was about to wake up.
Indeed, after a short while, her figure suddenly dissolved into glistening specks and vanished in the side hall.
As for Xie Yu, he had just happened to reach the entrance.
He should be resting in bed.
But he tossed and turned, wondering why the demoness helped him.
Why did she appear so timely? During her disappearance, had she been hiding in the palace all along?
Xie Yu had many questions.
So, when the Chief Eunuch came over with the dishes, Xie Yu took the initiative to take them:
"I’ll take it in."
The Chief Eunuch couldn’t believe it, "Emperor? How can you, of such high status..."
Xie Yu interrupted him, "Stop babbling, open the door."
The Chief Eunuch had no choice but to comply.
However, the moment he pushed the door open, Xie Yu was stunned.
"Where is she?" the Chief Eunuch shouted, turning to ask the guards outside, "Did she leave?!"
The guards all said they hadn’t seen her.
Xie Yu slammed the steaming dishes down on the table with a "bang."
He gritted his teeth, "She ran off again."
