Part 1 - Yu Nu Jiao / Jade Slave / Enslaved By Love

Chapter 080 Xiuxiu, the Girl

Cai Tianxi led everyone out, and seeing the door being closed, he could no longer hide the surprise on his face. He stroked the whisk again and again, his face full of thoughtfulness.

Xiuxiu came over uneasily: "Eunuch, how about I go in? Can the emperor do it alone?"

Cai Tianxi glanced at her sideways, with a warning in his tone: "Servants should be tactful, don't always think about showing courtesy to the emperor, have you forgotten Xiangsui's fate?"

Xiuxiu didn't quite understand: "Emperor? Isn't it my aunt who is sick? I am her maid, and it is my duty to serve her. Why should I have the same fate as Xiangsui? Besides, the emperor is clumsy at first glance. If he hurts my aunt again..."

Cai Tianxi quickly covered her mouth, and then realized what the little girl was thinking. He knocked on her forehead with a bit of a laugh: "Are you going to die? How dare you make up stories about the emperor?"

Xiuxiu was so scared that she covered her mouth, and dared not say anything, but her eyes seemed to be fixed on the door, staring at it without blinking, as if she could see the situation inside through the door.

Cai Tianxi pushed her back: "Okay, the emperor is the emperor, what can't he do? Don't make trouble here, go down, tomorrow Miss Xie Yun will rely on you to take care of her."

Xiuxiu wanted to struggle, but she was glared at and left reluctantly. Cai Tianxi waited until the second half of the night, when it was almost dawn, and then he heard a voice from inside.

"Imperial physician."

Cai Tianxi hurriedly led the imperial physician into the door. Perhaps he moved too fast, and the moment he pushed the door open, he saw Yin Ji stuffing Xie Yun's feet into the quilt.

He quickly turned his head to avoid it, took a step back, and slightly stopped the imperial physician who followed behind him. After a few breaths, he thought that the inside should have been cleaned up, so he turned his head to take a look.

Yin Ji was already sitting upright on a chair beside the bed, with a majestic and cold posture. It was completely impossible to tell that he was still touching Xie Yun's feet just now.

Cai Tianxi coughed, restrained all his emotions, and led people in seriously: "Your Majesty, the imperial physician is here."

"Come and take a look, her temperature seems to have dropped a little."

The imperial physicians hurried forward to take her pulse, but Cai Tianxi pulled the young man who had spoken earlier. Although Yin Ji did not say anything, since this imperial physician had shown his face in front of the emperor and the results were satisfactory, he might be able to gain the emperor's trust in the future and rise to prominence from then on. At this time, helping others is also helping yourself.

"Doctor Liao, please come in."

Liao Fushang was a little flattered. He thanked him repeatedly before going forward to check Xie Yun's pulse: "...Aunt's pulse is a little calmer, but it's hard to say whether she will have a fever again. It's better to have someone to take care of her."

Yin Ji frowned: "Will she have a fever again?"

"This fever is recurring, and the cause of Miss Xie Yun's illness is a bit complicated. I am just taking precautions."

Yin Ji looked at Xie Yun, and his brows gradually twisted into a small knot.

The imperial doctors were terrified and some blamed Liao Fushang for telling the truth. Although deceiving the emperor was also a serious crime, he could have said it more tactfully and made the emperor worry. Why?

However, no one dared to remind Liao Fushang at this time, so they could only let him say it completely.

Fortunately, the emperor did not pursue the matter in the end: "In that case, you can wait in the East Side Hall. When things are quiet, you can leave."

Liao Fushang quickly agreed and was led to the East Side Hall by the palace servants.

The West Side Hall became quiet again. Yin Ji picked up the teacup and slowly fed Xie Yun a mouthful. It was not known whether it was because of his experience in feeding medicine before or because he was good at taking care of people. Cai Tianxi was very surprised to find that his movements were quite skillful. He fed a cup of tea without leaking a drop. He was not clumsy at all as Xiuxiu said.

He was fresh for a while and couldn't help but look at it twice. When he came back to his senses, he saw that Yin Ji's eyes were on him.

He just thought that he was presumptuous and made Yin Ji unhappy, so he quickly lowered his head humbly.

Yin Ji stood up and said: "Just pick someone to watch here. I am a little tired and don't want to care about her anymore."

After the voice fell, he strode away.

Cai Tianxi was somewhat amused. It was already dawn and her fever had subsided, but you were tired... You were tired at the right time.

As expected of an emperor, you have good energy.

Cai Tianxi thought with amusement, but dared only to complain in his heart. He followed him out of the door and was about to pick a smart maid when he saw Xiuxiu hiding in a corner.

He coughed hard, and the little girl was frightened and shivered. She looked over, holding her chest.

"Little hoof, didn't I tell you to go back? Why are you here again?"

Xiuxiu came over embarrassedly: "I went back to sleep, but I woke up a little early. I had nothing to do, so I came to see... The emperor is gone, right?"

Cai Tianxi felt heartbroken when he heard this, and picked up the whisk and knocked on Xiuxiu's head: "Your aunt is very careful in her words and deeds, why don't you learn from her? What do you mean the emperor is gone? Can you say that? If someone with ulterior motives hears this, I will accuse you of a great disrespect, and you will suffer." 

Xiuxiu didn't dare to hide, and was knocked so hard that her neck shrank. She begged for mercy with tears in her eyes: "I dare not, I just said the wrong thing because I was absent-minded."

Cai Tianxi sighed: "Don't blame me for being heavy-handed. The lives of people in this palace are worthless. I am strict for your own good."

Xiuxiu couldn't help but raise her hand to touch the three scars on her cheek, with a frightened expression. Obviously, Xiao Baobao's unprovoked outburst left her with a deep psychological shadow.

"Yes, I remember. Don't be angry, sir."

Cai Tianxi shook his head. He was willing to say a few words because he saw that this girl was pure-minded. Otherwise, how could he manage so many palace servants who were looking for death?

"Okay, since you are here, just watch here. Miss Xie Yun has already recovered from the fever. You should take good care of her. If there is anything wrong, go to the East Side Hall to find someone. The doctor is waiting there."

Xiuxiu's eyes lit up: "The fever has subsided? Then I will go and see."

She said goodbye in a hurry and went into the side hall. Cai Tianxi shook his head and laughed. Although this girl was impetuous, she was also innocent. He’s just not sure if she will be blinded when she gets older, sees wealth and power, and knows desire and comparison.
