Adhere to the gentleman's principles

Chapter 146: Awakening Father

Then, she quickly adjusted her facial expression, straightened her clothes, and carefully put away the teacup that Zhao Junning had drunk from and put it back to its original place.

Then, she walked towards the door, a sweet smile on her face, and said in a soft voice: "Royal brother, why did you suddenly come to my palace? Do you have any precious treasure to give me?" Xiao Yule's voice was full of playfulness and coquettishness.

Xiao Zhengchu looked at Xiao Yule with eyes full of doting. He always treated this sister with special doting and enthusiasm, which was completely different from how he treated his other brothers.

He was especially caring towards the sisters Xiao Yufu and Xiao Yule. Xiao Yule lost her mother when she was young. Her mother was in poor health and passed away when she was three years old.

Since then, Xiao Xuanjing and he have been taking good care of him, so the relationship between them is particularly deep. Because of this, Xiao Yule has never had any doubts about Xiao Zhengchu, and firmly believes that he will never have any bad intentions.

Xiao Zhengchu stretched out his hand and gently flicked Xiao Yule's forehead with his index finger, smiling and scolding: "You only know how to ask the emperor for treasures. You spend the whole day fiddling with your strange herbs, and you can't refuse to attend the palace banquets again and again. Let me tell you, even the prince consort came to propose marriage and was rejected. If I don't come to visit you, I'm afraid our princess won't step out of the palace for a month, right?"

Xiao Yule covered her forehead with both hands and giggled: "Oh my! My royal brother, I'm still young and I'm not in a hurry to find a prince consort. Look, my third sister and fourth sister don't have a prince consort either!

Besides, you know me well. I have no interest in palace banquets. Those wives of officials are so arrogant and vain. It makes me angry! I am really worried that I will lose control of my emotions and scold them. Wouldn't that cause trouble for you, my elder sister and my brother..."

Xiao Yule held Xiao Zhengchu's hand tightly, shaking it gently while acting like a spoiled child. Faced with such a cute and playful sister, Xiao Zhengchu was helpless and could only nod and say, "Okay, okay, let's forget about it this time. But you must come to the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet next month. After all, you are the princess, and this year it is your turn to be responsible for the important task of hanging lanterns with Xuan He. There is no room for negotiation on this matter, do you hear me?"

Seeing that his retreat was blocked by his brother, Xiao Yule could only reluctantly agree: "Okay, okay, I will definitely participate when the time comes." He secretly complained in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be very happy.

Suddenly, Xiao Yule asked with a worried look on his face: "Brother, father has been in a coma for several months. Is it true that the imperial doctors have no way to help?"

Facing his sister's questioning, Xiao Zhengchu didn't know how to answer for a moment. He absolutely couldn't let Xiao Yule know that he deliberately didn't let Xiao Xuanjing wake up, because Xiao Xuanjing had always been in good health!

So, he could only nod helplessly and said, "Yes, even the director of the Imperial Hospital is helpless!"

Hearing his brother say this, Xiao Yule was half-believing and half-doubting, but still responded softly.

Then, she seemed to have thought of something, her eyes sparkled, and she cautiously asked, "So... can I try to heal my father? After all, I am the favorite disciple of the Medical Immortal."

Recently, Xiao Yule felt more and more that Xiao Zhengchu seemed to be secretly obstructing the doctors who might wake up her father. So, she decided to take this opportunity to test her brother's true thoughts.

Xiao Zhengchu looked at Xiao Yule's serious and determined expression, and for a moment he didn't know how to refuse. At this moment, Xiao Yule added: "I believe that with the medical skills I have learned, I will be able to wake up my father! Brother, do you think so too?" She stared at Xiao Zhengchu's eyes, as if she wanted to see through his eyes to see his true thoughts.
