[under editing]Transmigration : Wake Up as an Annoying Concubine

17 - Supportive Princess

The next morning, Xiu Ying woke up and find that the space beside him is empty. He breathes a sigh of relief. It's better when the emperor leaves first. At least it won't be too awkward.

When Jing Yi came in to prepare the bath, he scanned him up and down, left and right. Try to find any traces left by the emperor.

"What are you looking at? Did I lose my nose or what?" Xiu Ying squinted.

"N- nothing. It's just... are you alright, Young Master?" Jing Yi's eyes fall on Xiu Ying's waist.

Xiu Ying blushes when he finally gets what Jing Yi trying to say. "Why would I not okay?! Nothing happened last night. His Majesty just came to have dinner because he has something to tell me. That's all."

"Really? Then, did His Majesty leaves as soon as both of you were done talking?"

Xiu Ying looks at Jing Yi with a quizzical look, "Don't you know when His Majesty left?"

Jing Yi shakes his head, "No. I and even the guards didn't see when His Majesty walked out from this room. I thought this morning His Majesty is still with Young Master in this room."

Both of them fell into silence.

'O....kay... This is getting scary. He was not on the bed when I woke up but no one saw him exit this room. Then, how did he get out?! Did he just disappear into the thin air? He had magic?! Wait! Do they even have magic in this era? Or what they usually call....cultivation! Did that guy as some cultivation power?'

Jing Yi watches his young master. Knitted brows then suddenly widened eyes, then frowning again. Jing Yi jolts when Xiu Ying suddenly, "Arghh! Whatever! I don't care. Now I want to bath." He quickly gets off the bed and walks into the separate bathroom.

.....

Right after the morning court, Wu Zhang Wei went to Jingren Palace to meet Empress Dowager. When he arrived there, his imperial mother is spending time with Princess Wu Xiao Qing.

"Zhang Wei, what's the important matter that you want to discuss with mother?" asked Wu Jiaying.

"Mother, Zhang Wei needs mother to do some favor for me. Is that alright?"

Wu Jiaying frowns. It is such a rare occasion for the emperor to ask for help from his imperial mother. "Favour? What is it?"

"Hmm... Please give out an order for Concubine Li to help out in the imperial pharmacy. Since imperial pharmacy's matter is under the mother's care, Zhang Wei hopes mother can do it." He sounds a bit commanding but still respectful to his mother.

"Imperial pharmacy? Concubine Li? Why so sudden?"

"Well... when Concubine Li treated Prince Yang before, Zhang Wei heard him talk about the diseases that even our imperial physician didn't know. It seems like he has a broad knowledge of medicine, so Zhang Wei wants to let him work together with our imperial physicians. Zhang Wei sure it will be a great help to improve the medication in our country."

Wu Jiaying has some thoughts and Zhang Wei waits in silence.

"Alright. Mother agrees. Mother was also impressed with the way he handled the matter. It seems like he has more experiences than our physicians." Zhang Wei nods, agreeing.

"Okay. Right after this mother will send out an order to ask Concubine Li to go to the imperial pharmacy."

"Thank you, mother." Zhang Wei bobs his head.

Wu Jiaying clears her throat. "Since mother had done a favor for Zhang Wei, now Zhang Wei needs to answer mother's question HONESTLY." Zhang Wei gulps down his saliva.
