Xiao Yu and Xiao Wei looked at each other, and their bodies that were originally entangled immediately separated. They each stood aside and cast their eyes on Xiao Yuwan's face.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is awake and wants to summon us?"
Xiao Wei's eyes were complicated. He took a step forward and tidied up his messy clothes, but he still couldn't hide his embarrassment.
Xiao Yuwan moved her gaze towards him, her eyes cold and sharp, and her face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
"Yes, His Majesty is awake. He wants to see you. Which of you will go with me first?"
"Me! I'll go first!" Xiao Wei volunteered, his eyes could not conceal the enthusiasm and excitement, but when he met Xiao Yuwan's cold gaze, he restrained himself a little, rolled his eyes back and forth, and then said: "Wei Chen feels sad. , I have not yet decided how to face His Majesty, to comfort the Emperor, let him... let my cousin go first!"
The person he was referring to was naturally Xiao Yu. Such humility surprised Xiao Yu. He looked at his cousin in confusion.
Xiao Wei also turned to look at him, his nose slightly flaring, but he had not recovered from the drug-taking state.
Only then did Xiao Yu realize that he didn't really have any good intentions, he was just afraid that if he hadn't woken up yet, and if he went there and aroused the emperor's rage, and dragged him out to behead him, then his dream of being emperor would be completely shattered.
Xiao Yu was still hesitating whether he should also decline and add insult to injury.
Xiao Wei seemed to be anxious. His clean face and neck were redder than before. It was obvious that he was having a fever.
At this time, he could only suppress his anger, bowed to Xiao Yu respectfully, and said: "Cousin, I just had an argument with you over some trivial matter. As the elder brother, I really shouldn't think about it in retrospect. I hope you don't worry about it. I'm wrong. It’s brother’s fault, I hope you will forgive me, brother!”
The corner of Xiao Yu's mouth curled up slightly. Thinking about what Xiao Wei did just now, he had the idea of pranking him.
But at this time, he saw Xiao Yuwan's cold eyes looking at him, and thought about how the eldest princess was worried about the deterioration of her brother's condition. How could he have such small thoughts at such a time.
"Princess, I'm going to see Your Majesty first." Xiao Yu said with cupped hands.
A smile flashed across Xiao Yuwan's cold face, but the smile disappeared immediately.
"Prince Jiangxia, follow me."
After Xiao Yuwan finished speaking, she turned around and walked out, asking Xiao Yu to follow him.
Along the way, neither of them spoke.
Several palace people followed them closely, which gave Xiao Yu some ideas unconsciously, but when he saw Xiao Yuheng, he didn't think of a single word, so he could only adapt to the situation.
Just as they were thinking about it, they came to another room deep in the palace. There were actually several people standing outside the door, including internal officials, palace maids, and imperial physicians.
Xiao Yu saw the old eunuch Gao Eunuch at a glance, standing on the side of the door holding a fly whisk.
At this time, Xiao Yuwan looked back at him, her face still expressionless, as if she was not familiar with this cousin.
"Wait here for a while, I'll go in and take a look first."
Xiao Yu nodded silently and watched Xiao Yuwan go in.
At this time, he turned his attention to the old internal official who had been looking for him, but the senior internal official did not look at him at all, as if he did not exist at all.
This made Xiao Yu a little disappointed. He gave up the idea of talking to the old eunuch and just lowered his head and looked at his toes to get rid of the embarrassment of standing here.
At this time, an internal official in his forties suddenly walked into the side room. He explained to Xiao Yu the etiquette that should be paid attention to when meeting the emperor.
The etiquette procedures were long and complicated. Xiao Yu was so confused that he couldn't remember so much for a while.
"Have you remembered everything clearly, Your Majesty? This is something you must never go on a business trip." The internal official in his forties asked seriously.
Xiao Yu's mind was not on these etiquette at all. He blinked but was noncommittal.
There was some anger on the face of the internal official, but Eunuch Gao came over at this moment to smooth things over: "My father-in-law, the young prince has not been walking in the palace for a long time. You have said so much, and he may not be able to remember it."
The internal official surnamed Si looked helpless: "Etiquette must not be broken, why not just improvise? If there is a slight mistake, he may be afraid of his own life."
"Don't worry, company, tonight is different from the past, nothing will happen to you."
Si Naiguan's eyes lit up, and he looked at Gao Naiguan inquiringly, and Gao Naiguan nodded.
The chief official seemed to suddenly realize it, and he stepped back as soon as he handed over his hand, and his attitude towards Xiao Yu became much more respectful.
"Eunuch Gao." Xiao Yu shouted at this time.
The high official nodded. There were no outsiders around here, so there was no need to say those high-sounding words.
He looked around and saw that no one was staring at them, so he whispered: "The young prince knows it, right? What I said that day was not lies."
Xiao Yu thought for a moment and nodded.
"My young prince, when I see your majesty soon, just tell the truth whatever your majesty asks. No matter what you ask, don't hide anything. Your majesty knows everything and can see everything clearly."
Xiao Yu was startled. He raised his eyes to look at the senior eunuch. He felt that there seemed to be something profound in the old eunuch's dim eyes, so he nodded again and again.
"Little prince, think about what you should say and what you shouldn't say before you say it."
Xiao Yu nodded slightly again, the old official's mouth crooked, and he slowly returned to his previous duty position.
At this moment, the door of the room suddenly opened again, and everyone's eyes focused on the door.
A woman in gorgeous clothes walked out of it, and to Xiao Yu's surprise, she turned out to be the eldest princess of Jincheng, Xiao Yurong.
Xiao Yurong's expression was calm, with no trace of sadness or joy. He turned towards Xiao Yu and smiled calmly: "Brother, come in!"
When things got closer, Xiao Yu felt nervous and his mind went blank.
Xiao Yurong took a few steps forward and happened to be in front of Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu looked at her with searching eyes, but seemed unable to get any answer from her face.
"How is your Majesty?" Xiao Yu could only ask softly.
Xiao Yurong looked at the palace people and imperial doctors around her, and replied in a low voice: "My little sister can't tell, but my brother will know when he comes in."
After Xiao Yurong finished speaking, she dragged her floor-length skirt and walked out of the corridor, never looking back.
Xiao Yu frowned. He no longer had any doubts, so he walked into the emperor's bedroom.
The lights inside the house are brightly lit, which is very different from the deserted loneliness outside.
Xiao Yuheng was lying on the gorgeous dragon couch, wrapped in a thick brocade quilt. His face was pale, but his eye circles were a little red. He looked seriously ill. It seemed that the end was really near.
The eldest princess of Yongning, Xiao Yuwan, was sitting beside the dragon couch, looking at her younger brother with a worried look on her face, with tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.
Xiao Yu stood in front of the door for a moment. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he boldly took a few steps forward, trying to get closer to the emperor on the dragon couch.
He took five steps, and when he was about to take the sixth step, Xiao Yuheng, who was on the dragon bed, suddenly raised half of his body with force.
His fierce eyes shocked Xiao Yu.
"It's within ten steps if you go any further... If you dare to go any further, I will kill you!"
