Chapter 0046 Licorice

Bo Langjun said that this was the first time he had not been able to go to court due to illness. The courtiers talked about it in private.

Is it possible that what I said yesterday was too harsh? Luo Yi stood in the hall and was stunned, listening to the whispers of his colleagues.

"You have the foundation to start playing! You have no foundation to retreat from the court!" Huang Chamberlain shouted in the voice of a male duck.

There was a sudden silence in the main hall. King Dai sat on the dragon chair and glanced at the ministers who bowed their heads in silence.

There seems to be one person missing today? The king took a closer look and saw that the position of Mr. Bo was vacant. I asked why no one said anything, but it turned out that he was not there.

"Well! Retreat from the court!" King Dai was happy to be left alone. He stood up and left.

The ministers also felt relaxed in their hearts, and everyone had smiles on their faces. Only Luo Yi looked worried.

"Don't keep a straight face all day long! Only by letting go of the burden on your shoulders and taking a break can you carry it better!" Yang Zuocao said with a smile as he walked past Luo Yi.

"Luohu Cao! Please stay!" Huang's voice came from behind Luo Yi.

Luo Yi stopped and turned around to look at the eunuch Huang who was hurriedly walking down the steps. He couldn't help but frowned. Could it be that something happened to the princess?

"Princess, everything is fine! On behalf of the king, please let me ask how your little daughter's condition is." Huang, with a smile on his face, bowed and saluted.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty! My daughter is much better after taking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Wu!" Luo Yi felt relieved and responded casually.

"That's good! I'm going to report back now! You're on your way!" Huang Huang turned around and headed towards the inner courtyard of the palace.

Luo Yi met Dr. Wu in the corridor of the palace. After the two exchanged pleasantries, Dr. Wu revealed that he had been ordered by the king to go to see Bo Langjun.

"He was fine yesterday, why did he get sick? Could it be that his daughter's illness..." Luo Yi asked Dr. Wu worriedly.

"Your concubine's illness is not contagious! I will find out after I go and see her! Please!" Doctor Wu looked at the palace gate with the medicine box in hand and asked Luo Yi to go first.

Luo Yi said goodbye to Dr. Wu at the palace gate. He was still a little uneasy while sitting in the carriage.

Luo Jiaojiao took the decoction prescribed by Dr. Wu and felt much better. With Luo Han Guo in her mouth, she went to the ground while Li'er was away.

"Master! Why are you down here! If the master finds out, Li'er will be scolded again!" Li'er walked into the house with porridge and rice, only to find Luo Jiaojiao sitting in front of the window drinking tea!

"No! My father has gone to court! He won't be back for a while!" Before Luo Jiaojiao finished speaking, she saw her father, Luo Yi, appearing in front of the window with a dark face and looking at her.

"father!"

Luo Jiaojiao almost got stuck in the mangosteen fruit and hurriedly vomited it out.

Luo Yi walked into the room and looked at his daughter for a moment and said: "This is licorice candy! Go and lie down on the bed!"

Luo Jiaojiao took the licorice candy and entered the inner room obediently. She wanted to ask who gave the candy, but seeing her father's serious eyes, she didn't dare to ask.

Li'er followed Luo Jiaojiao into the bedroom carrying the porridge. Her little heart was pounding, and the hand holding the tray was trembling slightly.

"Serve the good master!"

Luo Yi's words sounded behind Li'er. Li'er's face turned pale.

"Li'er! I'm hungry! Look how scared you are! My father is gone!" Luo Jiaojiao got on the bed, covered herself with a quilt and shouted to Li'er who was standing aside with a pale face.

"Master! Don't be willful anymore! Li'er doesn't want to be beaten!" Li'er sat on the edge of the bed, feeding Luo Jiaojiao porridge, frowning and saying with an aggrieved look on her face.

"good!"

Luo Jiaojiao took the bowl and started eating by herself. Her condition improved and her appetite increased.

"This is my first time eating this candy! Although it's a bit bitter, it tastes pretty good! I just don't know who sent it!" Luo Jiaojiao murmured to herself while holding the licorice candy and looking at her delicate purse.

"Don't go to the ground! I'll go and ask you for details now!" Li'er looked at Luo Jiaojiao worriedly while holding the tray.

"Go! My dad won't come again!" Luo Jiaojiao smiled naughtily at Li'er.

"Master!" Li'er couldn't help but become anxious when she heard Luo Jiaojiao's words.

"Don't go to the ground! Go!" Luo Jiaojiao said vaguely, holding licorice candy in her mouth.

"You can't go to the ground! Keep your word!" Li'er walked to the door, but still turned around and told her uneasily.

"Um!"

Luo Jiaojiao felt that Li'er had become verbose. She waved her hand impatiently.

Li'er actually went to find out where the licorice candy came from. When she asked the concierge, she learned that it was from Jiang Yu.

"I heard! Mr. Bo didn't go to court today! I heard he took sick leave!"

"Could it be that you were infected when you came to our house yesterday?"

"Did he enter Luo Xiaoniang's boudoir?"

How could the maids in the Luo family keep their mouths shut? They all shut up when they saw Li'er. Along the way, the gossip Li'er heard almost drove her crazy.

As soon as she entered the room, she was even more furious. Luo Jiaojiao was sitting behind the desk, eating cakes and fruits!

"Luo Xiaoniang!" Li'er's voice rose an octave.

"What are you shouting about? Aren't you afraid of getting slapped?" Luo Jiaojiao said with a smile.

Li'er suddenly knelt on the ground and started crying. Luo Jiaojiao was immediately confused. She quickly got up and knelt down next to Li'er.

"I'll just say a few words to you! You can't be like this!" Luo Jiaojiao looked at Li'er doubtfully and said.

Li'er sobbed and told Luo Jiaojiao everything she had heard along the way.

"And the licorice candy was also a gift from him!" Li'er sniffed while wiping her tears.

He was actually sick too? He missed the morning court? Luo Jiaojiao could only think about this! As for other gossips, she didn't pay attention at all.

"No! I have to tell the master about this! We can't let them ruin your reputation!" Li'er got up and was about to complain.

"Come back! Do you think my father is not annoying enough?" Luo Jiaojiao shouted to stop Li'er's impulse.

"But!" Li'er turned around and looked at Luo Jiaojiao reluctantly.

"Help me lie down on the bed!" Luo Jiaojiao stretched out her arm. She had thought about it! She had to take good care of herself, then go see him, and ask him how he was doing with his sister's poisoning case!

Li'er helped Luo Jiaojiao, settled her down, and then went to the kitchen to cook the medicine.

She asked Cheng Xiao to stay at the door and look at her master. When Li'er came back with the soup, she found that Luo Jiaojiao had fallen asleep.

Finally I don't have to worry about it anymore. Li'er put the tray on the bedside table, sat on the edge of the bed and secretly breathed a sigh of relief watching Luo Jiaojiao sleeping.

Luo Jiaojiao has been extremely well-behaved these past two days. Luo Yi comes to visit his little daughter every day when he comes back from court. He feels better when he sees her face getting increasingly rosy.

Parents are the worst when their children get sick, especially a father like Luo Yi. His wife died early, and his daughter is his only concern.

"Li'er! Can Mr. Bo go to the morning court today?" Luo Jiaojiao had already asked Li'er to dress up beautifully.

"Look, the master is back so early! He must be ill!" Li'er replied without thinking.

"That's good!" Luo Jiaojiao looked in the mirror enough and walked out quickly.

"Master! Where are you going?" Li'er hurriedly chased after him.

"Go visit the patient!" Luo Jiaojiao pinched her waist and waited for the panting Li'er.

"Is the master still at home?" Li'er reminded her master.

"I'm going to see dad right now!" Luo Jiaojiao smiled and said to Li'er who looked at her with wide eyes.

"Master won't agree! Let's go back," Li'er advised Luo Jiaojiao.

"How will you know if you don't try? Huh?"
