While Duan Changchuan and Bai Su were sitting in the yard, Chang Le had already searched the main hall in front of the study. He searched almost everywhere, but he could not find the shadow of the poison. However, he found a letter in an inconspicuous secret drawer in the front hall.

If it was in the past, he would definitely put the letter back when he saw it. But this letter was very unusual. Because the words “To Chang Le” were clearly written on the top of the letter.

The handwriting was delicate and elegant. It was obvious that it was Duan Changchuan’s handwriting. Looking carefully, there was a small line of words below, “Open when you this.”

This letter was written to him by His Majesty … His Majesty asked him to open it when he saw it.

Chang Le looked around … There was no one in the main hall except for the occasional noise from Yi Man in another room. He simply sat on the ground and read it.

He opened the letter and saw the familiar handwriting on the first row: “Chang Le, seeing words is like seeing a face. It was like … a letter from home.”

The little eunuch, who was dressed in a python garments, read the letter seriously. At first, he was at a loss, completely oblivious to the situation.

But as he read on, he suddenly understood … Immediately, both hands that were holding the letter began to tremble.

–

In the small courtyard in front of the bedroom, a young man in bright yellow was sitting quietly in the chair in front of the table. He was wearing a fur cloak and reading an essay with one hand on the edge of the table.

Feeling drowsy n the spring day, the young man’s head nodded slowly. His eyes closed and opened intermittently … He was very sleepy.

It was at this moment that Chang Le rushed in. The little eunuch’s eyes were red and swollen, still sniffing from crying. Almost tumbling, he threw himself in front of the young man, wrapping his arms around his legs.

“Your Majesty …!” He suppressed his sobs as if he had been greatly wronged.

Duan Changchuan was startled. The essay in his hand fell to the ground, losing all trace of sleepiness.

The young man blinked slowly. Taking a while to recognize the visitor, and asked in a daze, “Hm? Chang Le …? What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly crying?”

The little eunuch was already crying so hard that he was out of breath. He kept hugging his leg and sobbing, “… Your Majesty … Wuu, Your Majesty, please don’t abandon this servant …”

“This servant … This servant cannot live without you …”

As he spoke, Yi Man also hurried over.

“Yi Man, what happened to him?” Duan Changchuan asked.

Yi Man looked at Chang Le, who was kneeling on the ground and crying. He was also at a loss, “Your Majesty, this servant doesn’t know either … This servant was looking for the missing drug with my master in the front hall when he suddenly started crying …”

Duan Changchuan looked at his leg which was now completely immobilized due to being held tightly, “…”

He said helplessly, “Chang Le, you’re going to dirty my robe.”

The little eunuch hurriedly retreated a few steps in fear. After thinking for a moment, he grabbed the hem of Duan Changchuan’s pants. He raised his head and tearfully looked at Duan Changchuan.

How pitiful.

“Don’t kneel there. Get up and speak. Why don’t I want you? Did you do something wrong?”

Only then did Chang Le straighten up. He kept wiping the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, “This servant didn’t do anything wrong …”

Duan Changchuan had more questions in his head, “Since you didn’t do anything wrong, why don’t I want you? Or did you hear some baseless rumors? A few days ago, when I had you dragged you out of the study, some rumors did circulate, but you should know that I didn’t mean to blame you.”

He looked really confused. Even Chang Le seemed equally confused.

The master and servant looked at each other for a long time. The little eunuch carefully said, “Your Majesty didn’t not want this servant? How about … Your Majesty make an oath?”

This Imperial Head Eunuch was probably the first servant who dared to make the emperor swear an oath.

Even Yi Man was so scared that he knelt down and grabbed his sleeve to stop him, “Master, are you out of your mind …?”

The little eunuch, who was about to faint from crying, suddenly reacted and slapped himself, “This … This servant was confused for a moment! This servant was out of his mind!”

After that, he started to slap himself endlessly.

Duan Changchuan was dumbfounded. How did one person manage to perform such a heartbreaking and heart-wrenching drama all by himself?

Bai Su who couldn’t stand it anymore, stepped forward and stopped him.

Then, she embraced the shocked young man and asked, “What are you doing? Acting out a tragic drama by yourself? Do you think he hasn’t suffered enough? His Majesty hasn’t anything yet, but you, on the other hand, keep crying and slapping yourself. What will others think of His Majesty? Don’t you know how many eyes are watching in this hall?”

“Yes, Your Highness is right …”

“We are people of the imperial court. You should behave more steadily.”

“Yes …”

The woman talked to Chang Le. The young man just watched quietly.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to interrupt, but … the moment Bai Su approached, he always had a strange feeling.

His nape was itchy and a little sore. He always wanted to rub it. But there seemed to be a voice in his heart reminding him that it was a very private place. He couldn’t touch it in public. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But, the itch … It was, the more you wanted to ignore it, the more you couldn’t ignore it. Instead, the itch became even worse.

[So annoying …!]

[And so irritating …]

Thus, when no one noticed, there was a loud bang, followed by a series of clattering sounds. Instantly, the entire courtyard fell silent.

When they snapped out of it, they saw the teapot beside the emperor’s hand had been knocked to the ground somehow. The purple sand teapot was shattered into several pieces, tea leaves and water scattered all over the floor. Even the emperor’s yellow robe had several green leaves stuck to it.

Immediately, everyone: !!!

Only the culprit stared blankly at his feet …

Innocently, he looked up, pursed his lips, and said, “Uh, it wasn’t on purpose. Don’t be nervous, I’m not throwing a tantrum.”

[I’m just … too itchy.]

Then, his arm twitched and he accidentally swept the teapot.

It was really just an accident …

However, being an emperor was no small matter. In the next moment, the surroundings were in chaos.

“Your Majesty, are you hurt?”

“How is it? Did you get burned? It’s my fault for putting the teapot too close to you.”

“Quickly prepare a change of clothes for His Majesty!”

In particular, Omega’s skin was naturally delicate. The back of his hand was slightly burned and it turned red. His Alpha immediately noticed it, took his hand, and led him inside.

After entering the room, she took advantage of the fact that the others were busy cleaning up the mess and couldn’t pay attention, she carried him up.

The youth was so scared that he quickly punched her, “Bai Su! What are you doing? It’s broad daylight … You, you put me down! We’re going to be seen.”

He was warned, “If you move a little more, you’ll be seen.”

He immediately cowered like a little quail.

“Then hurry up and put me down.”

“I won’t.”

Another punch landed on her body. Like a kitten.

Alpha couldn’t help but laugh softly and put him down on the couch. Then, in his helpless eyes, she kissed his scalded hand gently.

The next moment, the soft little hand shrank back. The woman looked up and caught the young man’s red face, “Okay, I won’t tease you. I’ll get the burn ointment.”

She heard a reluctant voice, “Oh, then hurry up. Otherwise, I’ll recover before you come back”

The woman stopped in her tracks and tilted her face slightly toward him. She bent her knees slightly and made a slow and steady bow, “Yes, this concubine understands. I’ll return before Your Majesty recovers.”

Then she walked into the study, the rings on her body jingling. Thus, she didn’t notice that the young man on the chair had quickly pulled open his collar and scratched the back of his neck a few times.

[Cough, it really is a little itchy.]

–

On the third day of Duan Changchuan’s seclusion, Feng Yao and Yun Xie came to see him.

Although the Imperial Astronomer Bureau was located at the outer palace, entering or moving around was very convenient. However, it was usually Duan Changchuan who went over unless it was urgent, Yun Xie and the others would rarely come.

But now, Duan Changchuan almost had a miscarriage from anger. He was taking care of the getus and it was not suitable for seeing people, so they came.

The sharp-minded young emperor immediately smelled something amiss.

He quickly put down the matter at hand and sat upright, “Let them in.”

Chang Le bowed and said, “Yes.” Then, he invited them in.

“A few days ago, we heard that you were so angry at court that you fell ill. You also issued a decree that no one was allowed to see the emperor. Aunt and I didn’t dare to disturb you. But we heard from Yusheng that you’re better today, so we came with Aunt.”

After Yun Xie entered, he observed Duan Changchuan’s face as he spoke.

Feng Yao followed closely behind and bowed properly, “Feng Yao greets Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty.”

“Aunt, don’t be so polite.” Duan Changchuan quickly ordered people to get up and then ordered Chang Le, “Go and close the door.”

The little eunuch immediately understood and complied. He closed the door and went to stand guard outside the door.

When only the four of them were left in the room, Yun Xie changed his reserved personality and sat across from Duan Changchuan, “What’s wrong with you? You said it was just acting, why did you do it for real? When Aunt and I heard about it, we were shocked. That night, the prince’s star dimmed a lot.”

Feng Yao also gently advised, “Your Majesty, you still need to control yourself in the future. Plan far ahead and not be rash. Only then can you achieve great things.”

After experiencing the torment of these past two days of medication and acupuncture, Duan Changchuan deeply realized his mistake and obediently admitted it, “I understand, Auntie.”

His Alpha touched his head, “Your Majesty is very smart and has already thought it through. Miss Feng Yao, don’t worry.” As if coaxing a child.

The young man turned his head slightly to avoid her, thinking his movements were inconspicuous as he brushed her sleeve.

Then, he looked at the two and said seriously, “Did something happen for you to come here this time?”

When it came to business, Yun Xie immediately put away his usual sloppy attitude and said, “Aunt and I heard some news, but we can’t be sure if it’s true or not. But if it’s true, it’s no small matter.”

“What?” The young man frowned.

“Yesterday, we heard from Bai Mu Palace’s disciples, there seems to be a plague in Huainan, but it has not been confirmed yet.”
