Of the eunuchs in the palace, only by sheer luck would they have died a few years ago. Li Rou was smart and quick-witted, while Li Qing did not allow him to get close to her before, so he did some information work. Only by relying on being able to give Li Qing some useful information did he persevere by Li Qing's side. Of course, this was all thanks to his vow and his gratitude towards Eunuch Li.

Other than Eunuch Li, there was also someone in the palace that could control him. Even if it was his majesty, the king was the lord of the world, so he was naturally his master.

Li Rou felt that she wasn't afraid of death. If she could die with a good reputation, she could let her master remember that he wasn't afraid of risking his life for her master. Of course, he also desired power.

”This servant is His Highness's slave. In my heart, from now on, only His Highness is the only master.” Li Rou knelt down. Since he had acknowledged her master, he would not lie to her. He could not deny what happened in the past, but he had clearly told her of his future path.

”Okay. As long as I am alive, I will protect you for one day.”

”I want you to do something.”

Lin mama's leg was injured, so she couldn't get close enough to serve a noble, but she was afraid that other people wouldn't be able to serve her, so she found four bamboos and asked them to stand guard at night, two in the first half and two in the second half.

Red bamboo green bamboo in the first half of the night, purple bamboo orchid in the second half.

Ru Yi started burning in the middle of the night.

Red Bamboo exclaimed in a small voice and was about to find someone to call for the imperial physician when he saw Li Rou enter the hall at an unknown time. She looked into her eyes and said, ”His Highness doesn't call out to alarm others.”

At this time, the red bamboo could no longer blame Li Rou for entering the room without permission, so it whispered to him, ”What do you know, His Highness has a fever? If we don't call him an imperial physician, could it be that His Highness has always been ill?”

Green Bamboo also chimed in, her eyes turning red from anxiety. ”His Highness' face is burning red.” You're still arguing about this here. ”

Li Rou refused to budge an inch. ”During the day, His Highness ordered that no matter what happens at night, no one is to be disturbed.”

Red Bamboo pointed at his nose and said, ”His Royal Highness didn't tell me, who knows if you're talking nonsense here!”

Li Rou shook her head. ”Whether it is nonsense or not, when His Highness wakes up, it will all be clear to me. But what His Highness said before, I want to carry it out perfectly.”

Red Bamboo stomped his feet in anger. ”How can you not make sense? Could it be that His Highness knows that she will be ill? If you don't let her call the imperial physician, then if there's a chance, then who will bear the responsibility?”

Green Bamboo took another look at Ru Yi and whispered, ”You two better not talk too much,” he said to Hong Zhu. ”You stay calm, I don't think Young Master Li will speak any nonsense.” He then asked Li Rou, ”Does Your Highness have any other instructions?”

Li Rou shook her head. ”Your Highness only said not to alarm others.”

Green Bamboo took a deep breath. ”Then, how about we think of something?” Or should I call out the purple bamboo and the blue bamboo as well? ”

Li Rou still shook her head. His voice was calm as he said, ”There are still two hours left at this time.” In other words, it wasn't time for them to get up yet. If they were to forcefully look for them, it would be troublesome if others were to see it. At the very least, it would be contrary to His Highness' wishes.

Red Bamboo said, ”If we don't call them now, when they come, won't we know the same?”

Green Bamboo reached out his hand to stop her, ”That's enough, let's first think of a way to cool His Highness down.” His Highness didn't want to alarm anyone else, but since we already know, we can't just stand there and watch. What do you think, Li Rou? ”

This time, Li Rou was delighted. ”I will listen to sister's instructions.”

”Alright, then you go heat up some water on the little stove in our side hall. Add some hot water that won't burn your hands.” He then said to the red bamboo, ”You go and find some warm water first, we will serve His Highness and drink it together.”

Red Bamboo felt that it was difficult for his hands to withstand four punches, so he resigned himself to fate. ”Okay, then if the morning is still not good, I must find an imperial physician.”

Green Bamboo gave Li Rou a deep look and replied with a nod, ”Of course.”

In the palace, Senior Servant Lin had taught them all these things. With those sickly young palace maids, Lin mama didn't ask them to attend to them, but instead had them watch others take care of the patient.

The princess had not been sick in the past few years, and the bamboo had been secretly proud of itself. Who would have thought that something like this would happen today?

She was wondering if this was because the princess and the king had been having an awkward time, but her hands didn't stop moving. Wiping the hot water on her forehead and armpits again and again, her palms and feet didn't miss anything. Red Bamboo also came over with some warm water, ”I tried. This water just happens to enter my mouth.”

Green Bamboo didn't bother wiping the sweat off her forehead with the handkerchief. She used her sleeve to wipe the sweat off her forehead. Her anxiety didn't show on her face, but her voice was hoarse. ”Bring it over.”

Li Rou stood at the side, her heart not in a hurry, she was looking forward to see if His Highness could continue with his fever. Besides the moment when His Highness had just returned, the rest of the time, no one had stopped, and Li Rou was also confused, as if His Highness knew that something was going to happen to him, she could only instruct him to look after the people in the hall, so that he could see how many of them could be of use.

If she could use this, she would only recognize her daughter as her master. However, if she told him, she wouldn't tell anyone else about it. Not to mention how the emperor would react if he knew about this, but his daughter's thoughts were beyond his comprehension.

Li Rou knew that if she wanted to be used by a girl and be used by a girl, she had to first show her absolute sincerity and loyalty. Of course, the most important thing was — her ability to do things.
