Xiao Linzi touched his head, which was a bit sore, and shook his head, refusing to leave, "Steward Zhang, not only do I have to wait for His Majesty, Brother Xiao Ji said that one must always be by the master's side, I need to stand guard here."
Brother Xiao Ji and Xiao Qing had gone to the kitchen range, leaving him behind to await the master's commands at any time, to summon them if anything came up, so he could not leave.
Usually, when His Majesty and Steward Zhang were away, it was always like this. Brother Xiao Ji had said that of the three people from Canglan Court, at least one must stay by the master's side without taking a step away, and if the other two had things to do, at most only one could go far off to handle affairs, while the other must remain close by, within shouting distance.
So no matter what Steward Zhang said, he couldn't go far. If he left Canglan Court, there would be no one to watch over the master.
