He usually doesn't move around when he sleeps, and only becomes a little out of control after drinking.

The man was silent for a moment, then slowly glanced at Xue Yu's ankle. The leg was very thin, with slender bones, suitable for being played with, but there was no possibility of kicking him off. However, he did not deny it: "Yes, what are you going to do?"

Xue Yu shrank his legs, secretly saying that drinking would cause trouble, frowned and thought for a while, then tentatively suggested: "How about you kick me back too."

Yunkang had no habit of abusing mermaids. He was silent for a while and said, "Go to sleep."

While Xue Yu was still in a daze, the man had already closed the door and walked towards the court.

Today's morning court can be summed up in one word as usual: talking at cross purposes. However, everyone has long been accustomed to this pattern. Everyone speaks their own language, and whether the emperor listens or accepts their opinions is not their concern.

After listening to the discussion about the distribution of troops and military pay, Yunkang flicked his sleeves and announced the end of the court. The ministers left one after another, leaving only Minister Zhou. As Yunkang walked downstairs, Minister Zhou came up to him and said worriedly, "Your Majesty seems to be in low spirits today."

Perhaps it was because Yunkang calmly asked him about the mermaids last time, which left Minister Zhou with the illusion that Yunkang was easy to talk to. Whenever he had the chance, he would talk to Yunkang nonstop.

Yunkang said without looking away: "Well, I didn't sleep well."

Minister Zhou was stunned. He had never heard that the emperor had trouble sleeping. After thinking for a while, he came to the conclusion, "Your Majesty, are you worried about Zhuo Jue and couldn't sleep at night?"

Yunkang's eyebrows slightly raised, and his mind instantly remembered the soft hands lingering on his abdomen. The back of his head was slightly numb, and he said delicately: "It was caused by a wild cat."

Even he himself could not explain this subtlety clearly. Shangshu Zhou, an honest Confucian general, naturally did not notice it. He just thought that there was really a wild cat in the palace, and its barking at night disturbed the emperor.

Minister Zhou stroked his beard and suggested, "Your Majesty, your health is the most important thing. This cat should be caught and taught a lesson."

The man walked through the winding corridor and agreed with him for the first time: "It's time to learn a lesson."

Minister Zhou felt that His Majesty was a bit more talkative today. He was excited and talked a lot. He did not forget to share a prescription for a sleep aid: "My wife often suffers from insomnia at night, palpitations, night sweats, and irritability. Later, she asked the doctor to prescribe medicine, and these symptoms rarely appear again."

"First, take 20 grams of Poria, 30 lotus seeds, 20 grams of Albizzia julibrissin, and 20 grams of Polygala tenuifolia. Boil them with water and drink. This prescription also requires two more herbs, but I can't remember them clearly. If Your Majesty needs them, I will go back and make another batch for Your Majesty."

Yunkang hummed. He was very clear-headed and could see that the man in front of him was laying the groundwork for his real purpose. He raised his eyelids slightly and said patiently, "Minister Zhou, just say what you want to say."

Minister Zhou was startled, then smiled and said, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from Your Majesty. I do have something to ask you."

He met the man's inquiring eyes and said, "Just now when I came to court, I noticed that Your Majesty had a nice fragrance on you. My wife likes fragrance. Your Majesty, could you tell me what it is? This fragrance smells familiar to me, but I can't remember where I have smelled it before."
