Mei Siyu obtained the result she wanted, disregarding his tender gaze. She tossed her head and walked out of the Yangyan Palace without any farewell etiquette, not caring about this monarch at all. Her eyes fixed straight ahead, showing no fear whatsoever.
His fiery gaze followed her departure, his reluctance evident. Now he was somewhat grateful for her status. His cold concubine Mei Siyu – just thinking of her name made him jubilant. Her naivety, her rashness, her absolute beauty, her fairy-like temperament, her lack of restraint – everything about her fascinated and drove him crazy!
She would be his truest beloved concubine, not the empress! The vacant rear position was probably reserved for her. Only Mei Siyu was worthy of the empress’s position. He swore in his heart to love only her in this lifetime! In the Yangfeng Palace!
Xiao Rou, lying on the bed, was pale-faced and dazed. She had only been gone for a moment, yet she had become like this! “Are you okay? Shall we have the imperial physician check your pulse?” Mei Siyu softly called to the weak Xiao Rou.
“My lady, I cannot see the imperial physician. That would be disrespectful. Xiao Rou just needs to rest a while and won’t trouble the physician,” Xiao Rou supported herself, bowing to the physician with a weak voice.
“Liu Yushi, don’t mind her. Just check her pulse,” Mei Siyu said. She held Xiao Rou’s hand, gently comforting her unease. Xiao Rou was too cautious, which caused her illness. This time, she wouldn’t indulge her wishes. The ‘distinguished guest’ they’d finally invited wouldn’t be easily dismissed!
“Indeed, Miss Xiao Rou, please don’t worry. Let this old man examine you,” Liu Yushi said sincerely. Now he realized he had been blind, actually treating the noble Mei Fei like a lowly servant. He was truly short-sighted and deserving of death. If he didn’t perform well now, not only might he lose his life, but his entire family’s safety would be at risk!
Xiao Rou’s health gradually recovered under the imperial physician’s careful treatment, becoming even stronger than before. Mei Siyu felt very reassured that her efforts had finally paid off.
“My lady, look, many palace maids are coming this way,” Xiao Rou said.
