The steel knife was sharpened, and Cheng Runnian couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and looked at the emperor in the middle with some fear.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the grass people have done it."

Of course, the emperor knew that he had done it, and he was shocked when the smoke in the courtyard was brought together just now, and he immediately asked the guards to surround him.

Fortunately, through the smoke, I could still hear the conversation inside, so I didn't rush in.

Seeing that Ruoyun, who was taken away just now, really fell asleep, the stone in the emperor's heart finally fell.

However, he didn't speak, but the queen next to him looked incredulous: "Ruoyun, she's really okay?" ”

Cheng Runnian didn't know the queen after all, but he knew that she was not an ordinary person just by looking at what she was wearing, and he was thinking about how to call her more appropriately, and the emperor spoke at the right time.

"The queen mother asked you something, and you answered truthfully."

Cheng Runnian then understood, bowed down and said: "Back to Niangniang, the little princess's illness is really a heart disease, just now the grass people have made the little princess feel at ease, and then you can recuperate with peace of mind." ”

Hearing this, the queen was willing to put her mind at ease, and was about to raise her feet to go in to have a look, but before she could go out, she asked worriedly: "Can you go in and have a look at the palace now?" ”

"Well...... The grass people think that it is better to wait for the little princess to wake up and have the spirit to see again? ”

The little princess can't be completely relaxed now, and if something wakes her up and finds that she is not around, she will have to change back again.

After all, I just said that I would stay by the little princess's side.

Hearing this, although the queen was worried, she didn't insist, but just asked the palace maid to tell her as soon as the little princess woke up, and then left.

The emperor waved everyone away, and then looked at Cheng Runnian, but he didn't speak, seeing Cheng Runnian inexplicably flustered.

"Your Majesty, since the little princess is fine, is the grass people ......" The immediate priority is to save his head, although he doesn't think that the dignified emperor can be untrustworthy, but after all, it is about life, Cheng Runnian feels that it is still necessary to remind him.

"You didn't know that Zhou Qi and the others were fugitives that day, and it was also kind to take them in, you were innocent, so naturally you were not guilty."

"And now, you have cured Ruoyun, and you deserve to be rewarded."

Cheng Runnian was immediately happy when he heard it, not only saved his life, but also had a reward, this feeling is so wow!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

However, the emperor waved his hand slightly and said: "Don't worry, Ruoyun can't be called okay now, you stay in the palace for a few more days, wait until Ruoyun's condition is stable before leaving, as for your reward, I'll give it to you when you leave." ”

"In addition, you just said that you should stay next to Ruoyun, and you will go in later, and I will send some food."

Cheng Runnian naturally had no objections, and said, "It's all up to Your Majesty to decide." ”

The Emperor nodded, and was about to leave, but then he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Can you really turn water into ice?" ”

Cheng Runnian smiled and explained: "Back to Your Majesty, it's just a small trick. ”

He just hid the ice cube in his other hand, and when he finally unfolded it, his hands unfolded, and the ice cube naturally appeared in his hand.

But then again, it's not impossible to turn water into ice.

After receiving an explanation, the emperor did not say anything, turned and left.

Even for fear of disturbing the little princess inside, the rest of the palace maids and eunuchs didn't let them in, and there were only three of them in the huge Yunqing Palace.

The little princess started sleeping in the afternoon and didn't wake up until midnight, but Cheng Runnian couldn't hold it back.

He was in prison, and he didn't want to mention that he slept well, and now that his life was saved, he naturally relaxed, and fell asleep on the chair unconsciously.

……

The next morning, an itch on the tip of his nose woke him from his sleep, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful little girl crouching in front of him, looking at herself with her eyes wide open.

"Little princess?"

Isn't that the little princess in front of you? After sleeping for a long day and a night, the little princess's complexion has improved a lot, and her eyes finally have the agility that belongs to her age.

Seeing that Cheng Runnian was awake, the little princess hurriedly took two steps back, hid behind the old palace maid, and looked at him.

It's not because I'm afraid, after all, Cheng Runnian is a stranger and a little shy.

"Mr. Cheng, you're awake."

The old palace maid was full of smiles, Cheng Runnian saved the little princess, and she was also a benefactor, so she naturally greeted her with a smile.

Cheng Runnian got up and slept on the chair all night, which was really uncomfortable.

"What time is it?"

Looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, Cheng Runnian knew that it was not too early.

"It's already late, Your Majesty and Niangniang have already come to see the little princess, and when they saw that Mr. was still sleeping, they ordered no one to disturb them."

Cheng Runnian rubbed his eyes and said, "When is it? Isn't that almost noon? I've slept for so long. ”

"Your Majesty asked Mr. to accompany the little princess these days, and if you need it, just give orders."

"Sir, wait a minute, I'll go fetch some water and get some food."

The old palace maid said that, and turned to leave, but unexpectedly the little princess did not follow, but looked at Cheng Runnian curiously.

"Are you really a god?"

Although this little girl is still a little haggard, she is also really cute.

Yesterday, it was because the little princess herself was delirious, and there were hints from the old palace maid, so it was easy to believe it.

And now, she is naturally skeptical.

"Where in the world are there any gods?" Cheng Runnian said with a smile.

"But I saw that you turned the water into ice." The little princess tilted her head slightly, revealing a puzzled look.

Cheng Runnian only felt that his heart was hit hard, is this the legendary crooked head killing? Torture, it's so torturous.

After stabilizing his mind, Cheng Runnian squatted down, looked at the little princess, and said, "It's just some small tricks, if the princess wants to do it, it's okay." ”

The little princess suddenly became interested and asked, "Really?" ”

"Of course it's true, I'll teach the princess in the afternoon how to turn water into ice, okay?"

Cheng Runnian is not purely for fun, at this time it is very beneficial to be able to divert the princess's attention elsewhere, children, as long as they come out of the shadows, there will be no problem.

As for how to make ice, it was simple, even if he didn't have the knowledge that was shoehorned into his head, he knew that he could use saltpeter to make ice.

The little princess showed great interest in this, which undoubtedly shortened the distance between the two.

After eating something at noon and resting a little, Cheng Runnian asked the old palace maid to fetch some saltpeter.

Fortunately, it's not summer, it's just past the valley rain, and the temperature is only a dozen degrees, so it won't take too much time.

While the two were busy, a little eunuch quietly left and went straight to the emperor's imperial study.
