Emperor Qinghe patted her on the back. ”If I know, I won't blame you, right?” He took the honey water from Senior Officer Zheng. ”Have a drink of this and your throat will feel good.”

After she finished drinking, he motioned for her to lie down. ”You should sleep first. We'll talk after you wake up.”

Ru Yi still hadn't given up. ”Royal father, don't blame me for being reluctant. She's old and fierce, please send an imperial physician over to take a look …”

When Qing He saw that she had tears in her eyes every time she mentioned the Du Family, he could only say in a warm voice,

I don't want to cry anymore, Tutor Qian said before, only then did he think so after hearing what the French master said. Actually, what the French master said was wrong, it's not like that at all.

Ru Yi then nodded. ”Your daughter is worrying royal father.”

Right now, Emperor Qinghe was completely immersed in the warmth of his meridians. ”Hurry and sleep. Get up early.”

Ru Yi lay down on the pillow and closed her eyes. Soon, her breathing slowed.

Li Jing and Li Zhong had just left the room. Under the instructions of Senior Official Zheng, they entered before kneeling on the ground. Emperor Qing He spoke slowly, ”Be careful with her service. If Grand Preceptor's daughter still isn't good enough, we'll even punish her this time!”

The two of them hurriedly replied.

The sky had already turned white, and Emperor Qing He hadn't slept for the entire night. Li Rou and the others had finally returned, and their faces were also pale. Everyone had heard that something was up, but they didn't know what it was and didn't dare to randomly listen.

When he saw that the princess was still sleeping, he went out to call Li Jing and ask him a question. Li Jing and Li Zhong didn't know much about it either, as they were only persuaded to go down the mountain after the princess left the mountain last night.

After asking them, Emperor Qinghe then asked Zhou Xuan. Zhou Xuan knew a lot, but he didn't dare to say anything. If he didn't say that he had already become the vice commander, then to tell the truth, he might even lose his head.

Zhou Xuan stayed up the mountain with his daughter for the entire night. He also accompanied her into the capital.

A strange feeling rose in Emperor Qinghe's heart, as he realized that Ru Yi was actually alone in this Du Su clan. The Dharma Idol was his substitute, so it wouldn't do anything to harm him. However, the matter now was obviously caused by the Dharma Idol, but he had no other choice.

Fortunately, the princess was fine.

In the past, he was afraid that she would be easily seduced by those people because of her age. But now he had Prince Jiang Liu, as well as the young masters of the various families in the capital, he had seen quite a few of them, but they were all the same.

The personal guard didn't come from the guards' camp, but from a common disciple found in the Royal Monastery with the highest talent. The first was loyalty, and the second was martial arts. The bearing of the home disciples of the Royal Monastery was naturally good.

Ru Yi only woke up in the evening, feeling that her throat had become a lot more comfortable. Seeing that she had woken up, she poured a cup of clear water from the teapot and said, ”Your Highness, have some water to moisten your throat.”

Ru Yi's eyes felt unwell and her throat felt a little dry. She stretched her hands to receive the cup of wine and rubbed her eyes after drinking it.

”Your Highness's eyes are swollen from sleeping. This servant has prepared a handkerchief to help you apply it, right?”

Ru Yi nodded and lay back down. Very quickly, Green Bamboo took the handkerchief that was just right for the temperature and humidity and gently placed it over her eyes. Seeing that Ru Yi didn't move, she turned around and called out to Li Rou. ”Your Highness is awake …”

Li Rou gave her a glance and nodded before personally reporting to Emperor Qing He.

Ru Yi lay down, but could no longer fall asleep. She closed her eyes and thought.

His mother might not have been really depressed, but she was too old. It was obvious that she was in a bad mood and had angered her father yesterday …

Her father was easily coaxed, but he couldn't coax her for an entire lifetime. If she compromised this time, then she wouldn't be able to see her mother again in the future.

Speaking of which, she also had to thank the Dharma master. Although he had scared her half to death, at least he had met his mother, and she knew that she was still alive.

He was extremely obedient when he was young, and he didn't know if he was willing to listen to her. If he blamed her, it wouldn't matter if he got angry at her, but if he does, it's fine. Otherwise, if Royal Father finds out, there might be a chance for him to do something about it.

Ru Yi turned her body, the handkerchief in her eyes falling. She put it to the side and instructed Green Bamboo, ”My eyes are wrinkled and sore. Go and get me some ice to apply to them.”

”Ice won't do,” Emperor Qinghe said as soon as he heard the princess make a ruckus. He suddenly stopped and said, ”There's a Violet Jade Ointment here that specifically eliminates swelling. It'll be applied to your highness.”

Lu Yi only felt that it was ice-cold and had a little bamboo fragrance, but it wasn't unpleasant and after a while it became much more comfortable. She simply stood up and thanked him, ”Thank you, royal father.”

Emperor Qinghe helped her to her feet. ”Have you had enough sleep?”

Ru Yi nodded her head, revealing a shameful expression. ”Last night, this son was too reckless and caused royal father to be upset. This son is willing to accept the punishment.” As he spoke, he knelt down once more.

”Since I've raised you so much, what have I punished you for?” ”Tell me, how do you want me to punish you?” This time, Emperor Qinghe didn't stop her, but rather, he spoke with a calm voice.
