Shu Lan smiled contentedly: “Your Highness has suffered.”
Yu Yi took out a compound vitamin tablet and a small cloth bag, handing it to Meng Qing: “Your Highness, this is a tonic made by my father that can greatly replenish one’s vital energy.”
Meng Qing had not eaten or drunk anything for a day and night. Drinking hot porridge was good for the stomach, but the calories and nutrition were far from sufficient. This tablet could supplement the vitamins and trace elements he needed for a day, and the small cloth bag contained an energy bar that could provide the calories and fiber needed for a meal.
Meng Qing took the small cloth bag, gently squeezing it to know that Yu Yi had placed an energy bar inside. He did not open the bag but put it in his pocket, and swallowed the compound vitamin with porridge.
After eating the hot porridge and resting for a while, he left Luo Zhan’s residence that night under the identity of a bodyguard, accompanied by Xia Zhe to find another place to live in the suburbs.
Shu Lan continued to keep vigil at Luo Zhan’s residence, and Yu Yi also temporarily stayed there to prevent any further accidents.
During these days, Luo Ye did not idle in his own residence recovering from his injury. On the second day after being wounded, he went to the Grand Ancestral Shrine and complained about Luo Ding. Luo Ding was summoned to the Grand Ancestral Shrine for questioning and was then detained there.
Afterwards, Luo Ye went to the palace to see the Empress Dowager, who asked him to stay in the palace to recover from his injury, specifically in the Crown Prince’s residence – the Eastern Palace.
However, Luo Ye was impatient, fearing that delays might cause complications. He planned to ascend the throne in ten days. The Empress Dowager was concerned about his injuries, but Luo Ye was not worried. He had consulted the imperial physicians and believed that with proper care, his external wounds would basically heal in ten days.
He convinced the Empress Dowager to modify and simplify the coronation ceremony.
