Or was his mother trying to pry information out of him?

No matter how smart Jun Yu was, he was still a child. He thought about it for a long time but still could not understand.

When Jun Yu stayed still and quiet, the empress started becoming very impatient. She threw the teacup in her hand to the floor. The glass shattered on the ground and the palace maids in Jiaofang Palace knelt down in fear.

“Please calm down, Your Majesty!”

Everyone advised in unison.

However, the empress could not calm down.

What the empress hated the most was Jun Yu’s taciturn attitude. She really could not understand why all the other princes were so intelligent, sensible, and likable, but Jun Yu was so different.

Why did he always have this dull and unlikable expression?

If he just acted this way with her, it would be fine. However, he acted this way with the emperor as well.

Was he trying to make the emperor dislike him more and more, even though it would take him further and further away from a good position?

Idiot.

The more the empress thought about it, the angrier she became. She was about to explode again when suddenly, someone came in the room to inform her that Eunuch Xiao Lizi had arrived.

The empress shot a glance at the nanny standing behind her.

The nanny understood and quickly ordered people to clean up the glass shards on the ground. As for the seventeenth prince, he was helped up from his kneeling position and coaxed to sit beside the empress.

When Xiao Lizi entered Jiaofang Palace, he saw that the empress was holding a book and that the seventeenth prince was sitting obediently beside her. She was gently tutoring the seventeenth prince. It looked like a positive and filial mother and son moment.

“I have come to pay my respects, Empress,” Xiao Lizi said with a smile.

The empress looked up to meet his eyes. She was puzzled. “Eunuch, why have you suddenly come to Jiaofang Palace at this time?” After a moment of silence, she boldly speculated, “Could it be that His Majesty has woken up?”

Xiao Lizi nodded. “Your guess is correct, your ladyship. He has.”

“That’s great.” The empress happily put the book down and hurriedly stood up. She began to busy herself. “I will follow you to check on him, Eunuch. Nanny, go and fetch the congee that I personally prepared for His Majesty this morning. Please also bring some of my treasured tonics. Bring them all…and…”

The empress could not wait to bring Emperor Yong Ning the best things from her palace.

Xiao Lizi complained internally, “There’s no need to curry favor with him.” He did not let his thoughts show on his face. He simply smiled and said, “Your Highness, please don’t trouble yourself. His Majesty has just woken up and he doesn’t want to see his consort right now.”

The empress let out a disappointed “Oh.”

Xiao Lizi’s gaze fell upon Jun Yu, who was looking at the ground the entire time. He was sitting quietly in the back.

“His Majesty said that he hasn’t seen the seventeenth prince for a long time, and he misses him very much. Thus, I am here to bring the seventeenth prince to visit him.”

“He wants to see Seventeen?”

The empress was a little surprised.

The emperor usually did not pay much attention to Seventeen. Why did he suddenly want to see Seventeen after falling ill?

“That’s right. Your Majesty, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take the seventeenth prince to see His Majesty.”

Upon hearing this, Jun Yu slid down from the empress’s throne and walked toward Xiao Lizi, ready to follow him.

Xiao Lizi noticed his sensible appearance and shook his head, feeling a little anguish.

After the group led Jun Yu out of Jiaofang Palace, Jun Yu finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Before Xiao Lizi arrived, he felt like he was about to faint from fright.

“Your Highness, was the empress teaching you a lesson again?” Xiao Lizi asked.

Jun Yu did not reply and hung his head. After a long while, he looked up at Xiao Lizi. “Eunuch, why did father suddenly send for me?”
