Chapitre 32: Sick
Éditeur: EndlessFantasy Translation
This was the first time Emperor Yong Ning had seen someone so shameless and unreasonable.
This scheming little brat had really opened his eyes.
At this moment, he did not even dare to think about how the little rascal had entered the cave in front of them. Not only did he see Seventeen, but he also stayed with Seventeen for such a long time. He could not help but mock his guard for their incompetence.
He and the Golden Guards 'reputation had been ruined by a little brat.
However, the foolish Golden Guards still had no clue what was going on. When they realized that the target had yet to appear after so much time had passed, they became anxious. They sent one of them to ask Emperor Yong Ning if they should continue to wait.
After Emperor Yong Ning heard this question, he became even angrier. He was so angry that he could hardly breathe. Fortunately, Xiao Lizi, who was right beside him, saw this and hurriedly placed a hand on his chest. After a while, he recovered.
The Golden Guard's request felt like he was rubbing it in. Of course, he was angry.
"Let's go back," he said.
Emperor Yong Ning flicked his sleeves and left in a huff.
The Golden Guard who had come to ask for instructions was dumbfounded. He stood rooted to the ground, still confused. He could not understand what was going on. Why did the emperor look so angry?
He looked at Xiao Lizi in confusion and asked, "Eunuch Xiao Lizi, what did I say wrong?"
Xiao Lizi was Emperor Yong Ning's confidant, so he knew Emperor Yong Ning the best.
The Golden Guard thought that Xiao Lizi would be able to give him an answer, but Xiao Lizi only said, "Tell your boss that the ambush is not happening, and go back to minding your own business." He went after Emperor Yong Ning.
Xiao Lizi was very worried about Emperor Yong Ning's health.
The search for the princess gave Emperor Yong Ning insomnia. He had trouble sleeping and was sick with worry. Plus, he was so angry just now. He was afraid that something would happen to him.
Xiao Lizi's worry was not misguided. Emperor Yong Ning really could not hold on this time. Today's events took a lot out of him and his body was unable to keep up.
As soon as he returned to the imperial study, he could no longer hold it in and spat out a mouthful of blood before fainting. Concubine Liu's beautiful face turned pale with fright. She scrambled outside to call for the imperial physician.
…
With Emperor Yong Ning's fall, the atmosphere in the palace had turned terrible and oppressive. All the palace masters and concubines were cautious in how they spoke and what they did. Everyone tucked their tails between their legs. The palace servants did not dare to speak loudly, walk quickly, or laugh. Every day, they worked with their heads down, and they were more efficient than before.
However, this high price made everyone suffer. Everyone silently prayed that Emperor Yong Ning would get better soon.
Only The Cold Palace experienced no changes. It was like a paradise, unaffected by any bad things. The days were as calm and cold as before.
Jun Yu did not go back on his word. Not only did he secretly send her rice, but he also had the vegetable seeds delivered to The Cold Palace on time. He had gotten them a wide variety of seeds and he had sent them a lot of each type.
If they were all planted in the field, they would be able to feed the entirety of The Cold Palace for two years.
Jun Ning was overjoyed. She kept half of it and prepared to plant the other half.
Qiong Hua also thought of doing the same. The mother and child had come to the same conclusion.
However, they had not finished weeding the field yet, and the land was not ready for crops. Therefore, they could not plant the vegetables for the time being. They had to do enough preparation work before planting the seeds.
The mother and child worked from sunrise to sunset every single day. They were a little tired, but there was hope in their days. They did not feel bitter. Instead, they enjoyed the work.
As for the people who had been watching them...
