Chapter 17 Entering the Palace, Dizziness from the Car Ride

  Wan Rijian returned on the third day after I recovered from my illness, but instead of going back to the adjacent courtyard, she went back to her old residence and became a guardian. It's really strange that such a demon would agree to this, isn't it? And Xiao Yue lives next door to her.

  Of course, Wan Ri Cheng is still very polite to me, I don't ask him anything and he doesn't say anything, but unlike Xiaoyue, I often see them laughing and chatting outside, maybe this Xiaoyue reminds him of that Xiaoyue too.

  Xiao Yue is the same, only doing what she's told to do, taking care of my daily life. If I don't ask her anything or if there's nothing going on, she'll retreat to the side and not speak until I call her. I'm wondering if it's because she looks down on me, after all, with Fu Mama being like that, Xiao Yue was sent over by Fu Mama too.

  The demon has not appeared again since the day of the wedding, and my meals, clothes, and everything else have been fine. Although this life is boring, it's also quite comfortable.

  "Madam? Madam?"

  "Ah! Xiao Yue, is something wrong?"

  "His Excellency Wang has just sent someone to ask Madame to put on her official robes and go to the main hall."

  "What's going on?"

  "It is said that they entered the palace with the king." See the emperor?!

  "Alright, let's get ready."

  Xiao Yue helped me change my clothes, did my hair and makeup, and asked if I was satisfied. I nodded dazedly, my mind had long since wandered off somewhere else. This is the Emperor after all, a high and mighty person, my heart was filled with anxiety, hoping that this trip would go smoothly and safely, and that I wouldn't lose my life there.

  After dressing up, I waited for my servant to lead me to the entrance hall. Fortunately, there was someone to receive me, otherwise I would have definitely gotten lost. Now I don't know how many turns I've made or how many moon gates I've passed through.

  The demon had already arrived earlier, sitting in the armchair with a pleased expression, closing his eyes to rest. He was wearing a black official uniform and a black official hat, which made him look less demonic than before. The masculine aura around him was strong. When he opened his eyes and saw me arrive, he stood up, and then a small maid came over, carrying a black cotton cloak, really going all out with the black attire.

  The little girl combed the demon's hair twice, but couldn't comb it properly. She was too short and probably hadn't grown up yet. Judging from her face, she looked too young. If she were in my place, she would be considered a child laborer, which is against the law!

  No one else was around to serve him, so I smiled and walked forward. The little maid handed me a woolen cloak, which I hung over the demon's shoulders from behind. Then I walked back in front of him, picked up the cloak's tie and started to fasten it, but found that the demon was staring at me. I glanced at him and then focused on the tie, trying to calm down, but my face felt hot and flushed. I quickly finished tying the knot and turned around to walk away, but the demon's intense gaze made my already racing heart beat even faster.

  "Let's go, don't miss the timing."

  The demon went out of the door first, I hurried to follow, the carriage had already been prepared, he again took a step ahead of me and got on the carriage, lifted the curtain and entered the compartment. There was a footstool beside it, I stepped on it, raised my legs and wanted to get on, but found that it was impossible, the carriage was too high, the clothes on my body were too long, and it was very difficult to raise my legs.

  "Excuse me young man, could you help me out? I'm having a bit of trouble getting on this horse carriage."

  The housekeeper looked embarrassed, wanting to help me up, but his eyes darted towards the carriage, which made me curious. What's the big deal about helping someone up? It all depends on the whims of that demon.

  "This little brother... Ah!!" My body suddenly felt light, and I was suspended in mid-air. I turned my head to see that the demon had picked me up and placed me on the horse carriage. He lifted the curtain and got in, and I followed suit, sitting across from him in the compartment.

  "Let's go, He Fu."

  "Yes, Your Highness."

  The carriage started moving, although the speed was not fast, it was bumpy, and my whole stomach was also shaking up and down. I felt a bit nauseous, I get motion sickness on trains, let alone carriages. I endured for a while, hoping to arrive soon, using my hand to press hard on the Hegu acupoint, but my stomach was still churning. My fingertips started to feel cold, I glanced at the demon, he had his eyes closed and was meditating. So I shifted my body towards the window, lifted the curtain.

  "How are you?"

  "Yes, milady."

  "How much longer can we get there?"

  "It's near, walk two more intersections, turn a corner and walk one intersection and you'll be there."

  Good heavens, it's still so far away, what to do? Although the Hegu acupoint is being pressed and feels sore, it's still very uncomfortable. I feel like the food I ate this morning has reached my throat.

  "Stop it, He Fu, stop!"

  What good fortune is unclear, pulled the reins tight, the horse carriage gradually came to a stop. Before it had fully stabilized, I leapt down from the carriage, but forgot how high it was. As soon as my foot touched the ground, my ankle immediately started hurting. It must have been twisted, but there was no time to worry about that now. I hobbled over to a withered tree.

  Leaning against the tree, he started vomiting, until his mouth was sour, then straightened up, took out a handkerchief to wipe away tears, and wiped his mouth again. His stomach was empty, and indeed felt much more comfortable. This time sitting in the carriage should be more bearable.

  Ouch! Just now, because of stomach discomfort, I neglected the problem with my foot. Now that my stomach is fine, the pain in my ankle has taken over. It's really unbearable, but there's no way out. The time to meet the emperor has already been delayed by me for a long time, and if I go any later, it will be fatal. I'll just have to endure it. After all, it's better than carsickness.

  Ow, ow, it hurts so much, I'm just taking it one step at a time, every step is heart-wrenchingly painful, and then I take another step, ouch, it hurts, it hurts, ah, my butt hurts. By the time I came to, I was already sitting on the ground, dazed. What did I bump into? In just this short while, I've gotten hurt in two places.

  "King... King, you... how did you come here."

  ……

  "I was just sitting in the carriage and got jolted a bit."

  ……

  "I twisted my foot when I got off the horse carriage."

  He didn't make a sound, because he was facing the sun and I couldn't see his expression clearly. Was he angry? Forget it, can't provoke him, can't avoid him either, just let it be. Did I still expect him to kindly carry me away? I endured the pain, got up, brushed off the dirt and dry leaves on my body, and adjusted my collar.

  "Alright, Prince Wang can... Ahh!!!" Suddenly the whole person was turned sideways and picked up, "Wang, Prince Wang, you don't need to carry me, I can walk myself... Ah... You demon, don't let go!!"

  My mom scared me to death. The rascal let go of my hand and I fell down quickly, fortunately he picked me up again at the critical moment, otherwise my back would have been hurt.

  "What's your name?" Oh no!

  "Call Prince Wang!"

  The demon just glanced at me and carried me towards the direction of the horse carriage. I breathed a sigh of relief, guessing that my face must be extremely red now. Fortunately, he didn't pursue it further. When we arrived in front of the horse carriage, the demon surprisingly didn't put me down, but instead jumped onto the carriage with a single leap. Impressive! He seems to be an expert. He Fu helped lift the curtain, and the demon bent his waist to enter the carriage, putting me down afterwards. Then he sat back opposite me.
