Chapter 70 Just Troubled the Pup

"Luli girl, let's start now!"
I walked over and said earnestly to Luli.
"If I can't cure it later, let's see how you end up!"
Luli stared at me fiercely, complaining angrily.

"You don't have to worry about the matter, lady. Just call for help without any worries! The empress dowager, consorts, your ladyship, and all the palace maids are watching you!"
"Cheer up a bit. After all, in this palace, you will soon become famous as soon as you call for help!"
I leaned closer to her and unkindly opened my mouth.
"Woof woof woof... woof woof..."
Immediately, I heard Luli's humiliating cry.
This Yunyi guy is quite wicked. Even after Luli barked for a full quarter of an hour, Rongtuan only reluctantly followed suit with a "woof woof woof".
Then, Yunyi happily picked up Tongtuan from the screen.
Just now, Tongtuan, who was still nestled in a quiet corner, saw the empress dowager suddenly excitedly "whoosh" and jumped into the empress dowager's arms. He playfully nudged her and kept barking "woof woof woof" towards Yunyi.
I wiped the sweat on my forehead and sighed: Thank goodness no one understands animal language!
Looking at Yunyi, my eyes were slightly red, as if tears were welling up. Is it really that bad?
"Yunyi, what's wrong with your eyes?"
太后也发觉出他的异样，开口问道。
“哦！没什么，就是看着绒团儿病好了，激动的！”
说着，他还摸了摸眼睛。我心中疑惑，但也不好现在就问。
"Haha... Look at you!"
The empress dowager saw that Rongtuan had recovered his lively state, so she didn't ask much more.
Seeing that the purpose of summoning me to the palace had been achieved, the empress dowager started talking about irrelevant matters. Later, she gave me a small reward, and then she said she was tired and wanted to rest, so she sent us away directly...
The days in winter are always particularly short, and by the time I and Yunyi boarded the return carriage, it was already dark outside.
The carriage had been moving for a while, but Yunyi hadn't said a word, which struck me as strange. Normally, whenever he had a moment free, Yunyi would chatter away like a little sparrow. But today, he was strangely quiet.
"Although Naluili is annoying, she is still a young girl. I initially wanted her to bark a few times, give her a lesson, and vent my anger. Who would have thought that you would make her keep barking for half a minute? Even Xuefei couldn't sit still."
She hasn't stopped singing, she's probably going to lose her voice! When did you become so sinister? Usually, you're the one who knows how to treat delicate and precious things the best!"
I leaned in closer to Yunyi and teased him.
Yunyi has been wiping tears with a handkerchief since he got on the car. When he heard what I said, he looked at me with a bitter smile on his face. He pointed to his slightly red almond-shaped eyes and said with a suppressed voice: "And what did you give me? It turns out to be a bag of pepper powder!"
I was just about to put it in front of the cotton ball's nose, but it pulled it away, and as a result, I ended up inhaling a lot myself. Look, I'm still tearing up!
Xiao Liqian, why would you carry such a thing with you?"
"Haha... So this is what happened! Yunyi, you're trying to make me laugh to death, aren't you? Just as I suspected, how did you suddenly change your mind!"
I tapped my forehead and couldn't help but burst into laughter, shamelessly.
"Xiaoliqian, I worry about you making a mistake and get so anxious that I sweat. I do all this to help you! Yet, you still mock me, you...you've really hurt my feelings!"
With that, Yun Yi turned around in a dejected manner, like an abandoned puppy, looking miserable.
I quickly grabbed his sleeve and comforted him, saying, "Yun Yi, I'm sorry! I just couldn't help it! Let me treat you to a meal another day to make it up to you, okay?"
"Hmm, that's about right!"
Yun Yi nodded with a hint of arrogance, his head held high.
"As for that pepper, it was really an accident. I rushed to the palace today and felt that something wasn't right with the visitor. I got anxious, and when I get anxious, I get hungry. So I went to the small kitchen to find some oil tea noodles to fill my stomach."
In the rush, I unexpectedly grabbed pepper powder, and when I rinsed it with water, it made me sneeze. Just then, someone from the palace urged me, so I instinctively put the remaining half bag into my pocket.
I feel quite lucky today..."
As I was speaking, I patted my chest and luckily had pepper powder to help me.
Yunyi: "..."
……
"Gurgle..."
"You just bear with it..."
" Gurgle gurgle..."
"Alright then!"
After tossing and turning, I flipped over and sat up from the bed, with a clear expression of "waking up hungry and making the five organs temple empty and ringing".
I rolled up my blanket, jumped off the bed. After a quick wash, I pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard. The sun was already high in the sky.
As I basked in the sunlight and stretched my lazy waist, I couldn't help but shout to the servant outside, "Has your master returned?"
"In response to the girl's question, no, the adult has not returned!"
Upon hearing the sound of me pushing the door, the security guard turned back to look at me and immediately saluted in response to my question. After all, I have been asking the same question continuously for three days.
Since three days ago when I was summoned into the palace by the Empress, Mòtáng has not returned. I heard that he had some urgent official business and is not in the capital.
After Yúnyì returned from the palace that day, he went to look for Mòtáng. Of course, later on, Qíngxuě secretly followed along too. With them gone, this residence is now empty and I am left alone, feeling incredibly bored.
"What would you like to have for breakfast today, miss? I will have someone prepare it for you right away!"
Little Stone came over and bowed to me, asking. He was the one who informed me earlier that the empress dowager summoned me to the palace, and he has been taking care of my daily needs.
Little Stone looks like he's twelve or thirteen years old, young but reliable in handling things.
"Help me prepare a carriage, I want to go out to eat today!"
I'm really bored with eating alone, and besides, I've been in the capital for a while now, how can I not taste the local snacks! The weather is so nice, why not go to Furonglou, run by Rong Ye, and try some delicacies.
"Miss, this might not be appropriate!"
Little Stone hesitated for a moment.
"Don't worry, I'll be back after having a meal. It won't take too long."
I smiled at him and comforted.
"Well, please wait a moment, miss! I'll go and fetch the car!"
"Seeing that I was determined, Xiaoshi hesitated for a moment and immediately went to do as I had said."
"Ever since I returned from the palace three days ago, I have been worried that Concubine Xue would not leave me alone and come trouble me again. So, I decided to lock myself up and pretend to be sick, not going out. However, now, if I continue this act, I'm afraid I will actually get sick soon."
Say go and go, Xiao Shitou drives the car, and we arrive at the outside of Rongye's Furong Tower in less than half an hour.
This Furong Tower is quite impressive, a three-story building standing by the street. The first floor is the lobby, and the second and third floors are private rooms. The view is excellent on the third floor, but it needs to be booked half a month in advance.
Looking at the miscellaneous horse carriages at the alley entrance, it seems that there are quite a few passengers inside. Fortunately, it's not mealtime now, otherwise this place would definitely be overcrowded.
