Chapter 331 Where is my knife?
Wu Jiantong had booked the guest room for Su Yujin a long time ago. It was a number one room, very spacious, with everything you need, even the mattress and quilt were brand new and soft.
After a busy day of washing and packing, Su Yujin, feeling very tired, lay down and fell into a deep sleep.
But He Yanxiu couldn't sleep.
Even after the moon had set, He Yanxiu's eyes were still wide open, like bells.
After turning over again, He Yanxiu simply sat up.
Xing'an heard the noise and came over from outside. "What's wrong, Master?"
He Yanxiu looked at Xing'an, who was dressed neatly and looked completely sleepless, and asked in surprise, "You didn't sleep?"
Xing'an, "..."
He has predicted that some people will suffer from insomnia tonight!
So I prepared for the night duty early, took a nap in the evening while eating, and even used peppermint oil to refresh my mind.
"I'm not sleepy." Xing'an gritted his teeth and said this. Seeing He Yanxiu getting out of bed and putting on his shoes, he went to get his coat for him. "Second Master, are you going to get up to go to the bathroom?"
"Prepare the horses, I want to go into the palace." He Yanxiu said in a deep voice.
Xing'an, "..."
I expected that the Second Master would stay up all night and make a fuss tonight, but I didn't expect that he would make such a big noise! "It's so late, Second Master is still going to the palace?" Xing'an was shocked, but he didn't stop his hands and helped He Yanxiu to dress up. "I'm afraid the emperor has already gone to bed. Even if the Second Master has something important to do, it's better to see him tomorrow morning during the morning court."
"I don't want to see His Majesty." He Yanxiu tied his belt.
"Then Second Master..."
"Meet the Third Prince!"
Xing'an, "..."
Second Master, have you ever thought that the Third Prince might not want to see Second Master? ...
After the master and servant had packed up, they left the yard, went through the corner gate to the outer courtyard, rode their horses out of the gate, and headed straight for the palace.
There was no curfew in the capital at night, and it was not yet past midnight. Many teahouses, taverns, theaters, etc. on the main street were still open for business, and the sound of stringed instruments was endless.
But there were few pedestrians on the road, so He Yanxiu was not affected by his galloping on his horse.
When they arrived at the palace gate, although the guards knew He Yanxiu, they still stopped him and checked his badge for entering the palace.
Because of Concubine Shu and the Third Prince, He Yanxiu had the right to pass a badge to enter and exit the Eastern Palace. Especially at this time, He Yanxiu wanted to see the Third Prince Qin Peiyou, so the Imperial Guards sent someone in to pass the message, and only after getting a reply did they let him go. The eunuchs inside the palace gate guided He Yanxiu to Dexinyuan where Qin Peiyou was.
Arriving at Dexin Garden, Qin Peiyou put on a coat and yawned, "Cousin, why are you rushing into the palace at this time? What's the urgent matter?"
"It is indeed very important." He Yanxiu said.
Seeing He Yanxiu's solemn expression, Qin Peiyou's heart sank, and he immediately perked up, "Cousin, please speak."
"You..." He Yanxiu asked, "Is there any food here?"
Qin Peiyou, "..."
Why did he feel like his cousin had suddenly gone insane? He Yanxiu looked at Qin Peiyou's expression as if he was looking at a fool, and he couldn't help but touch his nose.
There was no way, because he met Su Yujin in the afternoon, and was teased and kissed by the little fox-like Su Yujin, so that he was in a trance afterwards. He had no appetite for dinner and put down his chopsticks after a few bites.
In the middle of the night, he rode his horse madly to the palace, and the few grains of rice in his stomach were completely digested like the beating of a drum.
…
A bowl of chicken noodle soup and a few side dishes were served from the small kitchen. He Yanxiu held the bowl and ate with relish.
Seeing He Yanxiu eating so sweetly, Qin Peiyou yawned, holding his chin in his hand and said boredly, "Cousin, you didn't rush into the palace in the middle of the night just to eat a bowl of noodles, did you?"
"Of course not." He Yanxiu shook his head.
Sure enough, there is something serious going on.
"I'm thinking about eating the steamed egg custard with shrimp made by the Third Prince's kitchen tomorrow morning."
Qin Peiyou, "..."
Where's my knife? Where's my knife? "I'm just kidding." He Yanxiu swallowed a chopstick of noodles and said, "How could I miss the food here?"
"Even if I am greedy, I should go to Qinghe instead of coming to the Third Prince's place."
knife!
I want a quick knife!
The kind that cuts off the hair instantly!
Seeing that Qin Peiyou was about to lose his temper, He Yanxiu lowered his eyelids and changed the subject quietly, "Come to think of it, don't you think something is wrong with what happened today?"
Something's not right?
Qin Peiyou thought for a moment and asked, "Are you talking about my eldest brother's sudden illness?"
"Your Highness has always been in good health. He has never even caught a cold all year round. How could he suddenly fall ill? And the doctor's words may seem serious, but in fact they are just empty words about excessive liver fire, qi stagnation and knots. There is no actual disease."
He Yanxiu said, "It can be said that if His Highness is sick, he can get better. But if he is sick, he can get worse. It all depends on his words."
"The six ministries are busy at the end of the year, and I am a little too busy here. Your Highness, you wish you had three heads and six arms, and you don't pay too much attention to many things."
Qin Peiyou thought for a moment and nodded, "This is indeed the easiest time for Big Brother to take advantage of us. I will have people take strict precautions."
"But then again, since Big Brother is going to take action, he doesn't have to do many things himself. He doesn't have to pretend to be sick. Doing so would only arouse suspicion."
"That's why I said it was strange." He Yanxiu put down the chopsticks in his hand. "In short, it's better to be careful in everything, so as not to cause any trouble."
The princes are growing up year by year, and the Second Prince has already chosen to live outside the palace. By next year, Qin Peiyou will also start to move out of the palace and prepare for his wedding.
The matter of establishing an heir will probably be put on the agenda after the new year.
At the latest, it will be the year after next.
It is not impossible for Qin Peiyuan to make preparations early.
"Okay, I understand." Qin Peiyou nodded again.
"In addition, I have something else to discuss with the Third Prince." He Yanxiu rinsed his mouth and cleared his throat. "This matter is not a big deal. It is easy for the Third Prince to do it. If it is done, it can also add a lucky charm to the Third Prince before the New Year."
"Oh?" Qin Peiyou suddenly became interested. "Cousin, tell me, what's the matter?"
"Cook." He Yanxiu uttered two words.
Qin Peiyou, "..."
I knew that my cousin was definitely not in his right mind today!
…
Su Yujin slept very soundly and when she woke up in the morning, it was already bright.
Ai Cao had already prepared the washing items, and seeing Su Yujin get up, she brought over some hot water.
Su Yujin took the towel, glanced at the food box on the table, sniffed the faint aroma of food, and asked with a smile, "Who sent the food?"
Monthly ticket, blah blah blah...
