Su Xingyi saw that Feng Yanzhi's face was red, swollen, and bloody, and he couldn't bear it. "Father, let Xiaoyu take a look at your face. Your face is seriously injured. It will be difficult to heal without treatment."
It would be even more embarrassing to let his granddaughter-in-law see his miserable face.
No one has ever dared to treat him like this in his life!
This old guy Shangguan Mochen is really hateful!
"No need. There are medicines for bruises and swelling in the Yangxin Palace. Ah Ying, go get them and apply them to me."
Li Haiying quickly brought the medicine and said, "Your Majesty, please be patient..."
"You step back, let me come."
Li Haiying glanced at the emperor, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he stepped aside.
Su Xingyi picked up the ointment and slowly applied it to the emperor. His movements were very gentle, which touched Feng Yanzhi a little. His son must feel sorry for him.
Su Xingyi was originally a gentle person, and Feng Yanzhi had indeed misunderstood him.
During the entire process of applying the medicine, neither the father nor the son spoke.
"Father, the medicine has been applied. If the swelling hasn't subsided by tomorrow, please call the imperial physician. I have memorials to review, so I won't disturb your rest."
"Your Majesty..." Li Haiying spoke hurriedly, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What do you want to say? Just say it, Eunuch Ying."
"Your Majesty, the Emperor Emeritus may not be able to rest."
Su Xingyi frowned, "What do you mean?"
Li Haiying could no longer care about that. "Your Majesty Dongjun, if the Emperor's grandfather comes to the Yangxin Palace too often, the Emperor Retired will not be able to calm down and recuperate..."
Su Xingyi raised his hand to interrupt him, saying to the Retired Emperor, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will restrain Grandfather and prevent him from coming to the Yangxin Palace. Where is Grandfather going? Everyone in the palace knows his identity, so they dare not stop him. However, I will send people to monitor his whereabouts. If I find him heading to the Yangxin Palace, whether I am attending court or reviewing memorials... I will immediately drop what I am doing and rush to help Your Majesty."
The emperor was very pleased to hear this. Ayi was indeed a filial child.
"Did you only learn about what happened in the Yangxin Palace after court was dismissed today?"
"Yes, Father. If the court session is not completed, I will suspend it and let the ministers rest first. I will continue the court session after I help you out."
Feng Yanzhi quickly imagined the scene in his mind of Su Xingyi abandoning all the civil and military officials and rushing to the Yangxin Palace.
It'll be fine once or twice, but if you do this frequently, the ministers will know that he was beaten up by that old man Shangguan Mochen.
If that old guy talked nonsense in front of the ministers, even exposing the fact that he had assassinated Feng Yulin, and Feng Yulin was asked to testify.
Wouldn’t his image as a wise ruler be ruined?
Su Xingyi didn't know what he was thinking, so he just said, "I still have memorials to review, I'll come to see you in the evening."
After seeing Su Xingyi leave the palace, Li Haiying said to the retired emperor, "The emperor is busy with state affairs and cannot arrive in time to rescue us. This is not a long-term solution. Why not let Chen Qiao and the others..." Li Haiying made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"No." Shangguan Mochen was his father-in-law after all, and he had abdicated now, so he didn't want to commit another murder. "Whether Shangguan Mochen was assassinated or poisoned, no matter how, suspicion would fall on me, and my father-son relationship with Ayi would no longer exist."
Li Haiying was so anxious that her butt hurt. "What should we do? Are you going to stay in the Yangxin Palace and recuperate forever, not even being able to go to the Imperial Garden?"
The Emperor recalled Su Xingyi's proposal yesterday and said, "Let me think about it."
＊
"Daddy."
Su Ningjie softened and pounced on Su Xingyi happily.
"Brother Jie, don't offend the emperor." Lu Yao shouted hurriedly.
Su Ningjie slammed on the brakes and knelt on one knee, "Your Highness greets His Majesty."
"Your humble servant Lu Yao pays respects to His Majesty."
"Quickly, don't be polite. From now on, you won't need to perform formalities when you see me."
"Thank you, Father!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Su Ningjie stood up and couldn't help hugging Su Xingyi. "Father, did you and mother send me back home yesterday just to give me and my sister a surprise?"
Su Xingyi glanced at Lu Yao, who was standing with her head bowed, and said to Su Ningjie, "Do you like this surprise?"
"I like it, of course I like it, thank you, father. Now that my second sister is the county lady, won't my father dare to bully her in the future?"
"Of course, the title of Yaohua County Lady was bestowed by my father himself. Anyone who dares to bully Yaohua is disrespectful to my father and can be beaten with a stick. Zihe is your third brother's second uncle. The Meng family is a noble and scholarly family. He will not bully Yaohua and will dote on her very much."
Lu Yao blushed when she heard this. Why were they talking about her marriage?
Did the emperor confer the title of County Princess on her to elevate her status?
Lu Yao suddenly realized that after coming to the capital for many days, she deeply felt the strict hierarchy between scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, and the insurmountable gap.
The Meng family is a noble family, and her Lu family is a merchant family, so it is obvious that they are not a good match.
Now she is the county lady and a noble lady, and is a perfect match for the Meng family.
The Queen Mother cured her and also helped her sister to recuperate and give birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
This is entirely due to the great favor that the Emperor and Empress have shown to their Lu family!
How can she repay the Emperor and Empress?
Now that I've been granted the title of County Lady by grace, it seems... no matter how I repay it, I can never repay this great favor...
"Your Majesty, Father is right. Uncle Zilu has not remarried yet because he took care of Yunqian and my third brother. He is a rare good man in the world. Uncle Zihe will be a good man like Uncle Zilu, and my third brother will also be a good man in the future."
Su Xingyi raised his eyebrows, "What about you?"
"Of course I'm a good man, not a scumbag!"
Su Xingyi smiled, "Your mother is waiting, let's go in."
