Chapter 458 Recuperation

Long-term recuperation? Everyone had different expressions when they heard this.

Hu Xin'er asked hesitantly, "Godfather, didn't you say last time that Mom's illness would heal if she took some time?"

"I told you last time that she needed to be properly nursed back to health. But now you've upset her again. It's like a newly repaired riverbank being destroyed again..." Old Man Dou sighed, "Mrs. Lu's heart is like the riverbank and fields that have been hit twice. How can it be healed so easily?"

Mother Lu had fallen asleep from exhaustion. Lu Yunjue lay in front of the bed looking at his mother, and unconsciously reached out to stroke the white hair on her temples.

When he was an adult, he secretly went to the window to see Lu's mother. At that time, she was still imprisoned by Prime Minister Lu, and she was as depressed as a begonia on the verge of withering.

But she was still beautiful. People said that she was deeply loved by Prime Minister Lu because of her appearance, and Prime Minister Lu would not accept anyone else because of her.

Prime Minister Lu did not take a concubine, and he had told his mother more than once that he loved her.

It's just that this love is too twisted and dark, and it's too far from his perfect appearance.

His abuse of Lu's mother and his crimes against Mu Qing and the Jiang family are too numerous to list.

When Mu Qing saw his brother stroking his mother's white hair, he felt sad.

The time spent with Lu's mother was very short, but her pure and heartfelt love warmed everyone.

In fact, in a sense, Jiang Yao, Mu Qing... they are all brought together because of Lu's mother. In this family, Lu's mother is like a spiritual pillar.

Hu Xin'er bit her lip and looked at Old Man Dou: "Godfather, I understand. We will definitely take good care of Mom in the future. How do we specifically take care of her?"

Old Man Dou wrote a prescription, but said, "Medicine is not a long-term solution after all. The most important thing is to let her live in peace. Medicine is three-quarters toxic. If she is not injured, then there is no need to take medicine, right?"

How could everyone in the Lu family not understand such a simple truth?

Hu Xiner couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Old Man Dou looked around at everyone and said with some dissatisfaction, "If it were an ordinary person, I wouldn't even mention these words, but think about it, how many times have you come to me in this period of time!"

He went to the mountains to get some peace and quiet, and every time he came down he thought it would be the last time.

But the Lu family has so many problems. Every family member seems to be desperate. Either one is dying or another is sick again.

Old man Dou was also very tired.

He pretended to be angry and said, "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have accepted you as my goddaughter."

Hu Xin'er quickly said coquettishly, "Godfather, I promise I won't worry you anymore."

Old man Dou snorted lightly: "I'll trust you for once."

He finished writing the prescription for recuperation and frowned slightly. "There's another reason why Madam Lu's condition has worsened. Her obsession has faded, and her will to live has also dissipated. You really can't let her be frightened again in the future."

Lu Yunjue suddenly looked up. Wasn’t that what Lu’s mother was obsessed with him?

In other words, his mother's condition worsened because he came back?

Just when he was feeling uneasy, a big hand gently patted his head.

He looked up in confusion and found that it was Mu Qing who came to his side.

Mu Qing said gently, "Don't think too much. Mother is so happy that you can come back."

He took the prescription from Old Man Dou and pondered, "The other herbs are fine, but are Tianshan Snow Lotus and Wuxiang Flower also the main ingredients?"

After receiving the affirmative answer from Old Man Dou, the room fell silent again.

The eldest princess asked first, "But those two rare medicinal herbs are very rare in the world. How can they withstand long-term maintenance?"

Seeing that everyone in the Lu family was a little depressed, a sly look flashed in her eyes. Without waiting for anyone to reply, she clapped her hands and said, "Xin'er, don't worry. From now on, Madam Lu will live in the palace. My father and I will definitely find medicinal herbs for her!"

"Don't even think about it!" Jiang Yao said coldly.

She was in a very bad mood, so she directly drove the emperor and others out, saying that she wanted to discuss matters with the Lu family.

The eldest princess held Hu Xin'er tightly and refused to let go.

Hu Xiner looked at the closed door in front of her, feeling like crying but unable to shed tears.

Jiang Yao's voice came from the room: "Xin'er, go and catch up with your friends first."

Hu Xin'er looked aggrieved. Although she was happy to be with the eldest princess, she wanted to discuss her mother's illness with everyone else...

The palace maids around were all stunned. They knew that the Lu family was favored, but they never thought that His Majesty would value them so much!

You know, it is a great honor for Madam Lu to be brought into the palace for treatment, and His Majesty also gave them the rare medicinal herbs he used to treat his injuries.

Moreover, he is now locked outside by the Lu family?

This isn't just a question of favor or not, is it? The Lu family is clearly trying to seduce the emperor.

Could it be that... His Majesty, who hasn't been moved for a long time, has taken a fancy to someone from the Lu family and is planning to take her as his concubine?

A new round of gossip began brewing in the minds of the palace people.

However, they could not predict how the concubines in the harem would feel when they heard the rumors.

After many twists and turns, Hu Xin'er and the emperor and others returned to the Yangxin Palace.

The cold autumn air outside could not blow into the noble palace. She sat on the soft and comfortable cushions, feeling so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.

The emperor looked at her gently and calmly, carefully examining his daughter. "If you are tired, you can go and rest. I have already prepared a place for you to stay in the palace."

Perhaps because she was drowsy, Hu Xin'er asked without hesitation, "Do you love Liu Se very much?"

It is because of love that he treats her, Liu Se's daughter, so well, isn't it?

The emperor was startled for a moment, then slowly smiled: "At my age, talking about love affairs will only make me laugh."

Hu Xiner suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but clutch her sleeves, where there was a deed severing ties with the emperor.

She didn't know when to take out the deed, especially after the emperor took out the rare medicinal herbs without hesitation, she felt that she was indebted to him.

If I say I want to sever ties with him at this time, it would be like killing the donkey after it has served its purpose.

However, she could not live with the emperor for long. If she did not bring it up earlier, the more sincerity and love the emperor showed her, the more painful it would be when the relationship was severed, and the more guilty she would feel.

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, the emperor asked with concern, "How are you doing in the Lu family? Aren't they angry with you because of your mother's matter?"

The eldest princess' eyes were also filled with worry. "Xin'er, you can't be like those stubborn women. We are princesses and can treat men however we want! If he treats you badly, I will find a new husband for you, or you can collect a courtyard of male favorites like me, which is also very good."
