The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 991 Just One Cup

Jin and Yin followed quietly behind.

Baozhu stood guard by the bedside. When she saw Li Shou enter the inner room, she stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Highness."

Li Shou gestured for Baozhu to dispense with formalities: "Yaoyao is still not awake?"

"No," Baozhu replied.

Jin Yin walked over to Bao Zhu and stood down, making room for her. She watched as Li Shou sat by the bed, holding a bowl of hangover soup, looking completely at a loss for what to do.

They looked at each other, both wanting to speak, yet neither daring to.

Li Shou hesitated for a moment. He was born as the eldest son of the emperor and was later made crown prince. Many people served him, but he never served anyone.

Even when he was attending to his father's illness, Chief Eunuch Gan would hold a bowl of soup and feed his father his medicine. He only needed to sit by his side, chat with his father, and relieve his boredom.

He was holding the herbal medicine, and his older cousin was still drunk. How could he wake her up?

Before he could even begin, Li Shou realized that waking the drunken Meng Shisan up to take his medicine would be no easy task. After a pause, he thought of his cousin's two loyal maids: "How do you usually wake Yaoyao up?"

They had wanted to bring up this issue for a long time, and as soon as Li Shou asked, they immediately answered.

Baozhu replied, "Shout it out loud!"

Gold and Silver replied, "Pull harder!"

Li Shou understood. So, normally, to get his older cousin to get up, one person had to shout loudly and the other had to pull hard to wake her up: "What if you don't shout or pull?"

“Then let’s wait for Miss to wake up on her own,” Baozhu replied naturally.

"...When will Yaoyao wake up on her own?" Li Shou lowered his eyes and glanced at the medicine that was getting colder and colder.

This time, Jin Yin replied, "I don't know, it completely depends on how long Miss can sleep."

Li Shou understood better: "Come here, help your young lady up and sit properly so I can feed her the medicine."

Baozhu and Jin Yin agreed, and after a flurry of activity, the matter was finally settled.

A large, gold and silver pillow shaped like a human figure was placed against Meng Shisan's back, and she supported Meng Shisan with both hands to stabilize his posture.

Baozhu squatted on the footrest, calling out in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, "Miss? Miss, wake up! Miss, drink some hangover soup first, then we'll go to sleep!"

The voice and the expression were exactly like when coaxing a three-year-old child.

Li Shou sat with a bowl of soup in his hand. When Baozhu had finished calling Meng Shisan, she frowned and said it was too noisy. Baozhu asked him to feed her, so he quickly handed the spoon containing the hangover soup to Meng Shisan's mouth.

The hangover soup was made of gold and silver. Gold and silver knew Meng Shisan's taste well. They fed Meng Shisan a spoonful, and Meng Shisan smacked his lips twice and swallowed it. Only then did they feel relieved and continue to feed him a second spoonful.

so repeatedly.

After feeding Meng Shisan until he had only half a bowl, Meng refused to drink any more. Li Shoufang then placed the bowl of the remaining hangover soup on the embroidered stool behind him.

Baozhu and Jinyin worked together to help Meng Shisan lie down slowly, tucking him in before getting up and leaving the bedside.

Jin Yin took the soup bowl downstairs, while Bao Zhu stood quietly to the side.

After feeding him the hangover soup, Li Shou saw that Meng Shisan was sleeping soundly with his eyes relaxed. Li Shou knew that although Meng Shisan was drunk, he was not in great pain at the moment. Instead, he had fallen asleep after drinking the hangover soup. Li Shou also unconsciously relaxed his eyes, adding a touch of kindness to his dignified and handsome face.

Baozhu caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye, and immediately looked at her toes, daring not to look around again. Just then, she heard Li Shou's voice: "Yaoyao can't drink alcohol, nor can she hold her liquor. Why did you invite Old Ma to Baolai Tower?"

Upon hearing this, Baozhu sensed the implication of settling scores later and truthfully replied, "It was Miss who suggested going to Baolai Restaurant, and Old Master Ma had no objection."

"Yaoyao wants to go, aren't you going to try to dissuade her?" Li Shou frowned unhappily.

Baozhu knelt down, bowing her head and saying, "Your Highness, we servants tried to dissuade her, but Miss said that after being treated by Physician Yu, her health has improved considerably. Things she couldn't do before, she can now try to some extent. Like going up Qingbei Mountain, or having some wine..."

Finally, she spoke softer and softer.

In fact, Miss has many other strange ideas, but she hasn't had the time or opportunity to implement them yet. Whenever she thinks about them, she feels quite unsure of herself.

If I tell you everything, His Highness will be so angry that his face will turn as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Climbing mountains, drinking, fighting, and if given the chance, wouldn't you also like to go to the battlefield and wreak havoc?" Li Shou coldly replied, and then noticed that Baozhu was looking up at him in astonishment, so he knew that he had guessed correctly.

The instant he realized he had guessed correctly, he paused for a moment, then laughed in exasperation.

Baozhu shuddered, quickly lowered her head, pressed her forehead against the back of her hand, and dared not move an inch.

Having heard no further sounds from above for a long time, she wondered whether she should dare to look up again...

"I didn't feel anything when I first drank the Jade Liquor, but it has a strong aftereffect. Someone like Yaoyao who can't hold her liquor can only manage one cup at most." Li Shou finally softened his tone, "Otherwise, she would definitely get drunk."

"I've got it!" Baozhu replied, still not daring to look up.

Li Shou turned around and looked at the obedient girl who was still fast asleep, unaware of what was happening around her. After watching her for a while, he got up and said, "I'm going back to the palace. Take good care of Yao Yao."

Baozhu got up and said, "This servant will see Your Highness off."

"No need, just keep a close eye on Yaoyao." Li Shou walked out of the inner room.

Chang Qing, who was waiting outside, came forward: "Your Highness?"

"Go back to the palace."

"promise."

Although Li Heng is dead, the common people still conclude that his bad character will be punished by heaven. However, Li Shou has been investigating the crimes Li Heng committed. In addition to wanting Li Heng to be brought to justice, he also wants to make amends and publicly warn the world not to commit the same crimes again.

Therefore, whether it was the shady dealings surrounding the flood in Lueyang, the corruption case in Fangshan that Shi Ju protected with his life, or all the wronged souls under the collapsed Dengshan Mountain in Bixu Manor, Li Shou still had to deal with each of these issues one by one, even as Li Heng's body was fading and his flesh was turning to bone.

Today, he was able to leave the palace incognito, which was an emergency, and he only took Changqing with him. In fact, he had once again violated the Emperor's taboo.

In Emperor Zong’s eyes, no one was more precious than Li Shou, the eldest son of the emperor.

Even Meng Shisan, who was loved by Li Shou, was not an option.

Therefore, less than half an incense stick later, Emperor Zong learned the whole story and flew into a rage in his study, unleashing a great outburst of anger.

Steward Gan silently tidied up the memorials that Emperor Zong had thrown off his desk, while Attendant Tong quietly picked up the shards of teacups that Emperor Zong had smashed to pieces, along with the spilled tea and tea leaves.

Min Fanjin reported the matter to the Imperial Study. It just so happened that Chief Eunuch Gan and Imperial Attendant Tong were both there. He thought that with these two present, even if His Majesty was furious, they could still help him block the flames.

However, as it turned out, he underestimated the importance of the eldest daughter of the Meng family to His Highness the Crown Prince, and also underestimated His Majesty's high expectations for His Highness the Crown Prince.
