Chapter 172: Chapter 155, Sick_1

“`

At the foot of the primary peak of Wuhua Mountain.

Staring at the majestic and imposing Royal Palace, even Li Xingnian, who prided himself on being worldly, felt somewhat intimidated, “Wenxiu, Daohua, are we really going in?”

Daohua nodded, “Since we’re here, of course we need to meet him before leaving.”

At the entrance of the Royal Palace, a squad of knife-carrying bodyguards was on duty. Seeing Daohua and the others, they immediately stepped forward to stop them, “This is the Royal Palace; idlers and others are not allowed near. Leave at once.”

Yan Wenxiu glanced at Daohua, then stepped forward and said, “Brother bodyguard, we were classmates with the Little Prince, and we have come specifically to see him.”

The bodyguard waved his hand impatiently, “Go away, go away, the Little Prince has instructed that he will not see anyone, no matter who it is.”

During the New Year period, several groups had already visited, and just because they had let one group in, the furious Little Prince had punished them with ten beatings. To this day, their buttocks still ached.

Seeing this, Daohua took out the Qilin Jade Pendant from her waist, “This is the Little Prince’s jade pendant. Please trouble brother bodyguard to announce our visit. If you’re worried about the Little Prince’s blame, you can also find Eunuch De Fu.”

The bodyguard took the jade pendant and looked at it, startled in his heart. He quickly returned the jade pendant to Daohua and said politely, “Please wait a moment, I’ll report this immediately.” After saying that, he turned and ran into the Royal Palace.

Daohua put away the jade pendant and placed it back in her pouch.

Li Xingnian felt somewhat uncertain, “Can we get in?”

Daohua thought for a bit, “We should be able to.” They had come to pay a visit, taking into account Xiao Yeyang’s dignity. That fellow must be bored these days, so isn’t it good for them to come over and chat with him for a while?

It didn’t take long for the bodyguard to return with Eunuch De Fu.

Upon closer inspection, Eunuch De Fu seemed a bit breathless as he walked.

Seeing Daohua, De Fu’s face was full of surprise, “Miss Yan, happy New Year! I wish you well on behalf of myself here!”

Daohua smiled, “Eunuch De Fu, happy New Year to you too!” As she spoke, she lifted the food box in her hand, “I brought some food for Xiao Yeyang. Where is he?”

De Fu’s face fell, “The Little Prince is in his room. A few days ago, he caught a chill while practicing martial arts early in the morning. He’s been ill.”

Daohua’s face showed shock, “What, he’s sick? Let’s go, take me to see him quickly.”

De Fu nodded immediately and led Daohua into the Royal Palace.

The ignored Yan Wenxiu, Yan Wenkai, and Li Xingnian: “….”

Fortunately, the bodyguard was observant and said to the three men, “Please come this way.”

Yan Wenxiu and his brother nodded slightly, entering the Royal Palace composedly, whereas the eldest, Li Xingnian, looked quite unsettled.

Don’t blame him; his past contacts were mostly with merchants. He had hardly seen any high officials, and being close to the Imperial Family for the first time, it was good enough that he didn’t make any mistakes.

After they entered, the bodyguard wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, thinking thankfully that he hadn’t offended these people, since there weren’t many who could have Eunuch De Fu personally come out to welcome them.

The main hall of the Royal Palace.

Xiao Yeyang, who was originally lying listlessly on the chaise longue reading storybooks, jumped up the moment he heard that Daohua and Yan Wenxiu had arrived, ordering the servants to help him change.

By the time Daohua arrived, Xiao Yeyang had reverted to his usual demeanor, except his face was a bit pale.

Daohua, standing a few steps away from Xiao Yeyang, examined his complexion carefully, frowning, “Your body isn’t that weak, how did you get sick just from practicing martial arts?”

Xiao Yeyang, happy to see Daohua, and seeing her concerned gaze, said nonchalantly, “It’s not a serious illness; I just sweated a bit and didn’t change my clothes in time, catching a slight cold. I’m almost fully recovered now.”

Daohua was silent.

Being alone outside during the New Year must have made him feel particularly lonely and isolated. He must have gotten up early to practice martial arts to vent his irritation, right?

Thinking of the tragic fate of the child left behind by the family’s madam in the play “Abandoning the Husband,” Daohua once again started to feel sympathetic towards Xiao Yeyang.

Poor child!

Xiao Yeyang was puzzled by Daohua’s stare and hurriedly sought a topic, “So, what made you think of visiting me?”
