Chapter 362: Doting On Grandchild
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Xiaoxiao returned to her courtyard.
There were two rooms in her courtyard, one for Du Juan and Ying’er, and one for her.
There were many patients tonight. Du Juan and Ying’er were already on night duty, so they gave up their room.
Ying’er went to change a new set of blanket and pillow.
She realized that her boss was slightly obsessed with cleanliness. Although it was not directed at her and Du Juan, it was her duty to take good care of her boss.
Su Xiaoxiao went to see Su Ergou first.
Qin Canglan stayed by the bed. As the Old Marquis had yet to recover, Su Xiaoxiao forcibly persuaded him to return to the residence.
“That kid left.” Qin Canglan said.
He was referring to Wei Ting.
Su Xiaoxiao replied, “Oh.”
“I didn’t drive him away.” Qin Canglan had proven his innocence. No matter what, he was injured because of Ergou. He would not drive him away.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded and walked to the bed.
“How is your father?” Qin Canglan asked. “Same as last time,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Qin Canglan felt guilty.
If he had not been careless back then, Huayin would not have been killed and Cheng’er would not have been stranded among the people.
Su Xiaoxiao touched Su Ergou’s forehead. “Ying’er and the rest will come to patrol the night. You don’t have to guard here.”
“I want to guard for a while.” Qin Canglan said. After a pause, he muttered, “The three little guys don’t sleep well.”
He was afraid that they would kick Ergou.
When Qin Canglan said this, he lowered his head and grabbed his thick fingers like a resentful big stupid bear.
Su Xiaoxiao laughed.
It was very, very light.
Qin Canglan was stunned and turned to look at her.
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “I’ll carry Dahu and the others over. You sleep with Ergou.”
Qin Canglan cleared his throat and whispered, “… My sleeping posture is even worse.”
Su Xiaoxiao carried the three sleeping little ones next door and asked Little Weizi and Ah Zhong to set up a small bamboo bed for Qin Canglan.
It was an extended bamboo bed.
Qin Canglan lay down and the bamboo bed was gone, and half of his leg was hanging in the air.
Su Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.
Qin Canglan did not go to bed obediently.
After Su Xiaoxiao fell asleep, he quietly walked out of the courtyard and went to the second floor of the lobby like a thief. He sat in front of Su Cheng’s bed until dawn.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t rest until dawn, so she woke up late the next day.
Students were not allowed to enter the Palace Academy late and leave early in the palace, so Qin Canglan entered the palace.
There were no court sessions on this day, and it was rare for Emperor Jing Xuan to sleep early.
He wanted to sleep.
However, Eunuch Fu woke him up.
Eunuch Fu reported sheepishly, “Your Majesty, the old Protector Duke requests an audience.”
Emperor Jing Xuan ignored him.
After a while, Eunuch Fu returned and said, “Your Majesty, the Marquis of
Zhenbei requests an audience.”
The two elders had long stopped attending court. Occasionally, they would see him after he left the court. They would never disturb his sleep early in the morning.
However, they asked to see him at the same time. Jing Xuan Emperor wondered if something big had happened.
He forced himself to be sleepy and dragged his exhausted body to the imperial study to meet the two of them.
“My dear ministers, what happened?” Emperor Jing Xuan’s expression was very serious.
The Old Marquis cupped his hands. “Your Majesty, there was an accident in the western suburbs of the capital last night. I believe you’ve heard about it.” Emperor Jing Xuan wanted to say that he had not…
The Old Marquis: “It doesn’t matter if you haven’t heard about it.” Emperor Jing Xuan thought that the Old Marquis’ next sentence was—I’ll tell you.
The Old Marquis said, “I’m not here for this.”
Emperor Jing Xuan was dumbfounded.
The Old Marquis said solemnly, “My grandniece was also at the scene. She’s been busy all night. I’m here to apply for leave for her.” The corners of Emperor Jing Xuan’s mouth twitched.
“What about Minister Qin?” He looked at Qin Canglan.
Qin Canglan said seriously, “I’m also here to apply for leave for my granddaughter.”
Emperor Jing Xuan was speechless.
Did two veterans of the battlefield wake him up early in the morning just to let their little girl sleep in?!
Where was their regard for him?!
Do the two of them have any awareness of being officials?!
Also, do they know how scary it was for the two of them to enter the palace together?
He thought the country was going to war at the border!
Emperor Jing Xuan was furious and cursed in his heart!
Emperor Jing Xuan mercilessly threw the two of them out.
The two old things were so angry early in the morning that it was impossible for them to go back to sleep.
“Isn’t the eldest back?” Emperor Jing Xuan asked.
Eunuch Fu hurriedly said, “Yes, His First Highness entered the palace last night to pay his respects to you. You should rest. His First Highness asked me not to disturb your rest. He will come to visit you again today.” Emperor Jing Xuan said, “Let him enter the palace.”
Eunuch Fu replied, “Yes.”
Emperor Jing Xuan paused and said, “Ask Third Brother to come too.”
Eunuch Fu bowed. “Aye, Your Majesty.”
