Chapter 46: Protecting Short

The Empress Dowager was the daughter of a general. She practiced martial arts since she was a child. Although she was not as good as a man, she was in good health. In the past, the Emperor liked to let her go with her in autumn.

Shu Yao still remembers the Queen Mother almost vomited a few days ago. I haven’t heard of any gastrointestinal problems in my grandmother in the past, so why did she suddenly become so serious?

Li Mingji raised his hand and gently smoothed the wrinkles between her eyebrows, and his voice was stable. "Don't worry, Princess, the Queen Mother's lucky person will have a good appearance, and there will be no accident."

Although he was not as good as he was in the palace now, he remembered that the Empress Dowager was alive until his death. He thought that although this disease came fiercely, it was not enough to be fatal.

Li Mingji's calm voice made Shu Yao feel much more relieved. It seemed that no matter what happened, Li Mingji was always calm. How did he develop this state of mind?

Shu Yao accidentally said what she said in her heart. Li Mingji was slightly stunned, and then smiled and shook his head, "Why do the princess think I have always been calm and steady?"

He just has been accustomed to patience and hiding his emotions since he was a child. Once a person like him loses control, he will fall into a state of no return.

Li Mingji still remembered that on the night Shu Yao passed away, he almost turned red in his eyes. However, the blood did not save Shu Yao, nor did he wake him up. Therefore, he finished killing people and ended his life in the same way.

“…Yaoyao?”

Hearing the familiar voice, Shu Yao turned around and saw Xie Yanzhou standing not far away, looking at her in disbelief.

Xie Yanzhou had a gloomy face, feeling that his patience had reached its limit. He was worried that Shu Yao would lose control of his emotions and would come to Yanshou Palace to accompany her, but what did he see? Seeing Shu Yao's red eyes, the ungrateful guard actually reached out to touch her face!

"Yaoyao, listen to my advice. This guard's misconduct will only lead to a big mistake. I will deal with him tonight!"

The provocation for several days almost made Xie Yanzhou lose his mind. If he had the weapon in his hand now, it would have pierced Li Mingji's chest. But he was still not polite. He rolled his sleeves and his fists were about to be smashed to the face.

Shu Yao calmly said, "Stop him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the personal guards hiding in the dark appeared together, separating Shu Yao and Xie Yanzhou, while Shu Yao blocked Li Mingji in a protective posture.

Li Mingji said in a gentle voice: "Princess, there may be some misunderstandings between me and Prince Xie."

Xie Yanzhou's face turned pale: "Yaoyao, don't listen to his slanderous words..."

"Xie Yanzhou, you should reflect on it."

The girl's eyelashes were still with tears, but her expression was as cold as frosty snow. "He is my personal bodyguard. What qualifications do you have to do for me?"

“We…we…”

Xie Yanzhou said, "We are unmarried couples" and was unable to say it for a long time. What kind of unmarried couples? Are unmarried couples who are only joked by outsiders but have never been officially recognized?

But the family clearly told him since childhood that Shu Yao would become his wife, just like the prince and Zheng Yueyao. Otherwise, how could Emperor Yong arrange him to be the prince’s companion and allow him to be with Shu Yao?

"Last night I did travel to Chunjiang Huayue Tower with Shu Ningyou. But I only regard her as an ordinary friend. Yaoyao, in my heart, only you are..."

"Xie Yanzhou."

Before Xie Yanzhou finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shu Yao. His body was shocked and he wanted to take a step, but was stopped by these tall and mighty personal guards and met Shu Yao's strange gaze:

"You are optimistic, this is the distance you must keep from this princess. If you cross the line in front of me, don't blame my princess for being polite!"

Among the overlapping figures, Xie Yanzhou saw the eunuch coming to communicate with him. Shu Yao changed her face and turned around without any nostalgia and walked into Yanshou Palace.

Xie Yanzhou often came to the palace when he was young. He still remembers playing with Shu Yao here at that time. The little girl with pink and jade liked to bulge her face and directed him to do things with a arrogant attitude.

There seemed to be a gust of wind blowing in front of me, blowing something farther and farther away. Xie Yanzhou's vision was blurred. He remembered that the prince and Zheng Yueyao were given marriage tonight, and suddenly became energetic:

"It must be because I haven't come to propose marriage, and Yaoyao has resentment towards me," he murmured to himself, "Don't worry, I've prepared the betrothal gift long ago. I'll go to the palace to ask His Majesty for the marriage!"

...

Yanshou Palace.

The medicine smell was pungent. Shu Yao hated this smell the most in the past, but now she didn't even frown and walked quickly towards the bedroom.

He almost ran into the palace servant who was delivering medicine, knocked over the medicine bowl, and Shu Yao directly picked up the tray, "You go and decoct the medicine, I will come here."

The palace servant quickly said.

The empress dowager had already woken up, and two female officials were accompanying the bedside. Zhang Sheng was waiting outside through the gauze tent.

Shu Yao remembered that Zhang Sheng could do some medical skills. She used to have high fever and Zhang Sheng also took her pulse. No wonder his uncle trusted him so much.

However, the miserable situation in her dream made Shu Yao unable to face Zhang Sheng. She lowered her head, avoided looking at Zhang Sheng, and asked, "Where is my uncle?"

"Your Majesty is kind and filial, and you are going to get medicine with the Imperial Doctor." Zhang Sheng said indifferently.

Shu Yao felt that this was really uncomfortable no matter how she heard it. Her uncle was the king and the minister, not to mention that he was a few years older than his uncle. Why did he say that he was like a grand tutor? Only his uncle has a good temper and he is still with him.

She lifted the curtain and shouted, "Grandma!"

The Empress Dowager smiled kindly and said, "Yaoyao."

Her voice was still hoarse, and she covered her lips and coughed a few times, "Come in, this old bone in Ai's family makes you worried."

Among the royal children, the one she felt most distressed was Shu Yao. She was a concubine daughter and knew that her father didn’t love her mother. Therefore, she loved Shu Yao, who lost her mother when she was young.

"My grandmother is not old," Shu Yao muttered and brought the medicine to the queen mother. "Drink it quickly, it will be cold if you don't drink it."

"Why do you still need to stare at Ai's house and take medicine..."

The queen mother smiled helplessly, took the medicine bowl and drank it slowly.

Halfway through the medicine, the Queen Mother relaxed her hands and the black medicine juice broke the bed. She had a pale face, pinched her throat, and vomited suddenly. There was still some blood stains on her white bedclothes.

"Grandma!?"

The empress dowager fell into a coma again. Shu Yao was unexpectedly afraid and was so scared that she lost her vigor. She grabbed Li Mingji's sleeve and her voice trembled: "Where is the imperial doctor? Go and invite the imperial doctor..."

The curtain swayed, and Zhang Sheng walked in, "The imperial physicians have been treated for half a night, why did something happen to the Empress Dowager when the princess came?"

Shu Yao narrowed her eyes: "What do you mean?"

Several tall guards walked out from behind Zhang Sheng, and Zhang Sheng looked dark: "I don't want to speculate on the princess. But this medicine was brought by the princess. Before the matter was found out, I would like to ask the princess to take a trip."

Silver light and cold Rui, the long sword was unsheathed, and it was crossed in front of Zhang Sheng.

The young man took a step and his voice was cold: "Is Commander Zhang qualified to break into the Queen Mother's bedroom and intercept the princess?"

Shu Yao: Although my guard is usually weak and unable to take care of himself, it is still useful at critical moments.
