The Yao Emperor and His Human Doctor.

Extra 4 - Welcome to Fortress (1)

Hello everybody! I am Xian Zhong, one of Empress Dowager Qiang Ling's servants. It's great to be here with you and today I'll be your guide on a tour of Supreme Emperor Yao's Fortress!

To begin with, the Fortress consists of three floors, a basement and is more than a li in area. The underground is where prisoners and criminal suspects are kept, naturally. There are more than fifty cells, but thankfully they are almost always empty. After all, with Qiang Yong leading, who would be so crazy to commit crimes? Hehehe.

Today it has five occupants, a pack of thieving wolves. Pfff, how stupid... Even a young dragon like Ren Shyu can handle them. He captured four alone, you know? As you can see, the Dragon Clan is the best!
As I'm from the lizard clan, I think we're related, isn't that amazing?

"Xian Zhong! What do you think you are doing here?"
Oh! This is Zi Mao, she's my best friend, and she's a rabbit! She's always following me, hehe.
"I need to accompany you because you're always getting into trouble! Just like that time you talked about the human doctor, the emperor didn't listen!"

Ah, but if I hadn't spoken, today the Empress could be dead and they wouldn't be together, right.
Zi Mao "........."
I am presenting Fortress to our viewers. A private tour.
"I apologize to you, dear readers, for my colleague's manners. I hope you can bear her narration, otherwise I recommend that you skip this extra."

(Xian Zhong successfully ignored this comment).
From here is the upper floor, we have the entrance hall that leads to the main hall. To the right we have the hallway that leads to the kitchen, pantry and cellar. To the emperor's sadness, not even his wine with the highest alcohol content can make Dr. Su. The emperor would like to see Su Ning a little more changed, hehe.

The corridor on the left leads to the gardens and now also leads to Dr. Su. Ah, there is Ren Shyu, practicing his martial arts, he has clearly improved after the case with the wolves, he is much more motivated, hehehe. Here Qiang Yong made a completely covered path for the doctor to reach the clinic without having to use any protection against rain, snow or sun.
I hope one day to get a caring husband like that, one of the guards has been casting a few glances at me...

"Xian Zhong, this is not part of the tour."
I know I know! I was just commenting on what a wonderful husband Qiang Yong is.
"This tour won't progress this way. I'll continue from here on out."
Eh? I just want to see!

How is everyone? My name is Zi Mao, it's a pleasure to meet you. I will continue this presentation. Dr.'s clinic Su is almost a replica of the previous one, but we have a larger space for the medication and surgery preparation room. We have two offices and an extra one, in case Su Ning gets another colleague, and a large waiting room.

Recently Dr. Su got some permission from Qiang Yong to take care of some orphans, they have been helping out at the clinic as attendants and in the herb garden. They love it, living in a dormitory adjacent to the clinic and also eating with us in the cafeteria, which is also on the first floor.

Now we have the second floor. Here is Qiang Yong's library and office. There is also a karmas room, where the emperor and Ren Loo keep their combat equipment.
Ren Loo has a treasure room here, but most of it is in her residence. Let's just say she's a treasure hoarder.

"Ah! Wasn't this treasure room where Qiang Yong locked Dr. Su for two days after the doctor recovered from Ce Rang's attack?"
A-Zhong! Why do you have to keep interrupting?
"Because that was so funny! Dr. Su couldn't believe that Qiang Yong would keep him there with all that gold and precious stones, hahaha. The look on his face was priceless! And he couldn't even get away from there."

The emperor just wanted to teach him a lesson, so he would stop getting involved with dangerous things. It's natural, Dr. Su cares too much about others. Afterwards he was treated like a king in that room. The Empress even went to play go with him so he wouldn't get bored.
"He looked like a rare bird in a golden cage."

Well, let's continue. Here we also have a private hall for more important visitors and a reading and music room for Empress Qiang Ling. Oh, she's reading now, let's not disturb her. It's another book borrowed from the doctor.

She also often plays go here with Dr. Su or the others when she gets tired of losing. There are also some guest rooms here and there is the sewing room. The empress really likes the clothing models that Hu Long makes, she is very skilled and up to date in fashion, by the way.

"Yes! Hu Long really makes beautiful dresses! Even Madam Ren has been wearing them! With that big belly, she couldn't continue to wear those uncomfortable clothes. Let's see what Hu Long is doing!"

Zi Mao "..........."

"Hey Hu Long! What is he doing now?"
"Xian Zhong... as usual is idle again."
Hu Long is working on delicate embroidery.
"These are clothes for Madame Ren's baby. She herself provided this silk made from giant cocoons from Garden Paradise. It's durable and just the right amount of warm."

"Eehh... and they'll look really pretty too! These colors are so vibrant!"
"And do you think a Ren Loo baby would wear something in pastel colors?"
"Hmm... These are the clothes you made for Dr. Su when he was a child, right?"
"The Empress kept them as a souvenir and if the baby is a boy he can use them. Su Ning doesn't mind, he was quite happy about it."

Let's continue the presentation, Hu Long, sorry to interrupt you, but Xian Zhong insisted on coming here.
"It's more fun this way! It's boring just describing the rooms. Now they are full of life and stories to tell! It has to be an interesting extra."

Walking through a historic fortress like this is interesting! Enough with the interruptions, it seems we have nothing to do here but gossip!
And the top floor houses the rooms of the members of the house. On the left is Madam Ren and An Shu's room, on the side is Ren Shyu's. The Empress's is here on the right, next to it there is also another spare room, where the doctor stayed when he was taking care of her.

And that last one is the emperor and Dr.'s room.
"You're not going to show the inside of the rooms, are you?"
Of course not! Madam Ren is taking a nap in her room after lunch and the Emperor dragged Dr. Su to the room as soon as he saw that the clinic was quiet today.

"Oh! Yes! Hehehe, he's been doing this whenever he sees an opportunity..."

"AAAAAAAAAIIIIII!!!"

Zi Mao and Xian Zhong "..............."
What is this now?
"It came from Madam Ren's room!"
(Su Ning hurriedly left the room, hurriedly putting on his robe. Qiang Yong came out with just his bottom pants👀).

"What the f*** did my sister do now!"
(The maids are looking at the wall. It's ugly to covet other people's men. Ps: we're all doomed lol).

Ah, sir, I believe my water has broken.
"She just needs to lay an egg! She's not like a part of a human!"
"Ah... it's not that simple..."
Be quiet A-Zhong! The emperor is irritated by the interruption, he wants him to take revenge on you!

"Eeeh! Dr. Su wouldn't allow it!"
The maids were called to help in the room.

Author's Note

Qiang Yong tried to enter the room but the women threw him out. Too many men just get in the way at these times, apart from the doctors 🤭.
These are the 4 closest servants to Qiang Ling. I made them like little kokeshi dolls, which I absolutely love. Poor Cao Yaqi only showed up at the party the Empress threw to thank Su Ning 😔.
