How To Survive as a Villain-Chapter 10: You Can’t Be Patient.

When Xiao YuAn finally woke up, he realized that it was already afternoon. He sat up and lazily stretched himself, rubbing his neck and looking to the side.

Yan HeQing’s posture changed from lying on his back to lying on his side, with his hand under the pillow. Although his face was covered with black charcoal, Xiao YuAn could still faintly see the beauty of his facial features.

Xiao YuAn couldn’t help but lament: ‘The Male Lead looks so harmless when he sleeps!’

If it weren’t because Xiao YuAn already knew the plot of the original book, he wouldn’t believe that this person in front of him would later on conquer the Northern Kingdom in one fell swoop, washing the Imperial Palace with Royal blood.

Like if he was in a nightmare, Yan HeQing’s hands suddenly clenched into fists, his brows deeply frowned, and his lips began to tremble.

Xiao YuAn quickly reached out and patted him: “Hey, is everything okay? Where’s your Protagonist’s halo? Where’s your strength?”

This was serious. Xiao YuAn discovered that Yan HeQing was having a fever, his extremities were boiling hot.

“Water…” Yan HeQing murmured deliriously in a low voice.

Xiao YuAn got up in a hurry. After searching through the inner room, he found a porcelain pot and a small bowl. Xiao YuAn filled the small porcelain bowl with water and then carried it to the bedside. He reached out for Yan HeQing and asked him to lean on himself to feed him the water.

After hearing some noise, there was a soft knock coming from the door, it was the old Physician: “Your Majesty, it’s time to change the patient’s bandages and apply new medicine.”

Xiao YuAn said: “Come in.”

The door of the inner room was gently pushed open, and when the old Physician saw the scene in front of him, he was so frightened that the medicine in his hands clattered to the ground.

Hong Xiu followed close behind and at a first glance, she became extremely anxious, taking a few steps over: “Your Majesty, how can you do this kind of labor, let this maidservant do it instead.”

“Everything’s fine, I’ve already done it.” Xiao YuAn put down the porcelain bowl and helped Yan HeQing to lie back on bed, then he turned around and asked the old Physician: “He has a fever, what should be done?”

The old Physician was shaking as he knelt to the ground to pick up the fallen medicine. When he heard Xiao YuAn’s questions, he quickly stood up: “Answering His Majesty, he’ll be okay, the fever will soon subside. After that, the patient’s condition will naturally get better.”

“That’s really good.” Xiao YuAn nodded his head. “Then I’ll trouble you to take good care of him.”

The old Physician was terribly trembling with fear, as he nodded his head like a pestle.

Having slept for such a long time while also being beside the Male Lead made Xiao YuAn be in a very good mood, so he happily prepared to get back to the Imperial bedchamber.

Hong Xiu, who was extremely careful, asked Xiao YuAn in a low voice: “Your Majesty, when this man recovers, should this maidservant arrange him to go to Jing Yang Palace?”

The Jing Yang Palace was where the Young Emperor’s male concubines lived, and Hong Xiu was in charge of it.

Xiao YuAn helplessly touched his forehead: “No, no, no, no.”

‘Girl, please quickly erase those dangerous ideas!’

Hong Xiu froze in place: “Then, where does His Majesty want him to go?”

Xiao YuAn pounded his fingertips on his head with annoyance, wondering to himself as to where the Male Lead lived before meeting the Female Lead: “Send him to… to….Oh, right, let him go to the House of Internal Affairs.”

“House of Internal Affair?!” Hong Xiu, who had always known how to control her emotions, couldn’t help but blurt out her thoughts. After all, no matter how you looked at it, the Emperor clearly cared a lot about this man very much. However, instead of taking him as a male concubine, the Emperor decided to make him do chores like a normal slave. This was too strange.

“Mn-hmm, yes, the House of Internal Affairs. Eunuch Zhao is the one in charge of it, right?” Xiao YuAn asked.

“Answering to His Majesty, yes, he is.” Hong Xiu recovered her composure and replied.

“Perfect, send him to the House of Internal Affairs.” Xiao YuAn finished giving orders and then turned to look at Yan HeQing, who was still quietly sleeping.

‘Yang HeQing, Eunuch Zhao is a great villain, and you may have to suffer for a little bit from now on; but all of this is for the sake of you meeting with Princess Yongning after all, so you will have to bear with it.’
