Chapter 336: Steal from Me
Qin Peiyou took the bowl of dark and thick medicine and drank it all.
Su Yujin also added some medicine to the charcoal stove nearby and burned it.
Both of these medicinal herbs have the effect of detoxifying and calming the nerves. Seeing that Qin Peiyou, who had been a little irritable when he made the move just now, was gradually calming down, Su Yujin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Halfway through the game, Qin Peiyou started yawning and looked a little listless.
Su Yujin felt his pulse and said, "It's fine now. Your Highness is a little sleepy right now. You can get some sleep first."
"Yeah." Because of the effect of the drug and the addiction, Qin Peiyou could hardly open his eyes at this time, so he nodded.
"Then you go to sleep first, I'll come to see you after dinner." He Yanxiu stood up.
"Okay." Qin Peiyou walked around the screen in a daze.
A servant came in to serve.
He Yanxiu took Su Yujin to Meixiangyuan.
It is the middle of winter, and the wintersweets in Meixiang Garden are in full bloom. The trees are full of golden color, and the subtle fragrance is refreshing.
He Yanxiu saw that Su Yujin looked a little tired, and said, "I have already asked someone to clean up this courtyard. You go in and rest for a while. I will go see my mother and grandmother first."
This incident happened suddenly and I didn't have time to explain it to my family.
Just now, his grandmother had sent someone over to ask him to go over if he had time to find out the reason.
"Okay, you go and get busy first." Su Yujin rubbed his eyebrows.
From morning till now, she has been in a state of high mental tension. When she relaxed a little, a strong sense of fatigue came over her like a surging river.
"I'll be right back."
This was Su Yujin's first time in the capital, and also her first time in the He family, so she must have felt unfamiliar and reserved.
After hesitating for a moment, He Yanxiu picked up Su Yujin's hanging hand.
Su Yujin's hands are very white and her skin is very delicate, but because she often cooks and prepares medicinal materials, she has formed a few thin calluses on the palms and joints of her hands. When she slides her fingertips over them, she can feel the slight roughness.
He Yanxiu really likes this feeling, even a little greedy.
He Yanxiu didn't let go until the wind blew gently and a few golden petals fell from the wintersweet tree. "I have sent reliable people to keep an eye on the Third Prince. If there is anything wrong, they will report it at any time. Don't worry."
Rest assured.
"Yeah." Su Yujin nodded, and followed the maid into the yard with Ai Cao.
Seeing Su Yujin enter the house, He Yanxiu put his right hand behind his back and walked away with big strides.
At the old lady's place, Mrs. Lu and He Chengye were already waiting there. When they saw He Yanxiu coming in, they involuntarily leaned forward and said, "Yanxiu is here."
"Grandmother, father, mother." He Yanxiu bowed in turn and then stood still.
After all the maids had left and even the doors and windows were closed, He Yanxiu finally spoke and told them in detail that the meals prepared in the Third Prince's palace kitchen contained opium.
"This is roughly the situation of the whole thing." He Yanxiu said, "It happened suddenly, so this is the best way to deal with it right now. His Majesty the Third Prince has already ordered Rong Liang to return to the palace to report to His Majesty. I will hand over a sign to the palace to meet the emperor and explain the reasons in detail."
"But my aunt will probably be very worried about the Third Prince's condition, so I'll have to trouble my grandmother and mother to come to the palace more often to accompany him so that my aunt can rest assured."
The old lady and Mrs. Lu both nodded.
"Don't worry about your aunt. The Third Prince will stay at the He family first. I think your aunt may be a little worried, but she won't be panicked at all."
The old lady said, "Your aunt is already more than three months pregnant. There is a rule in the harem that when a concubine is in the advanced stages of pregnancy, her mother's family can enter the palace to accompany her. Although it is not yet five months, it is not impossible to ask the Queen Mother for permission."
"Tomorrow I will send someone to pass on the sign and go into the palace with your mother to ask the Queen Mother for mercy. The Queen Mother has always valued your aunt, so I think she will agree."
"The baby is a little old this time, Concubine Shu. Although the imperial physician has been saying that the fetus is stable and everything is fine, you still need to be careful. When you arrive at the palace, please also spend some time and effort to help take good care of it."
The old lady is getting older, and it is okay for her to stay in the palace for a day or two, but it would be very inconvenient if she had to stay for a long time, and she would hardly have the energy to take care of a pregnant woman.
Even though the pregnant woman was her biological daughter, she was unable to help.
We can only entrust this matter to the Lu family.
Since Lu married into the He family, she has had a very good relationship with He Shuhua. The friendship between the aunt and the sister-in-law was once a legend in the capital, so it was quite appropriate for Lu to go and take care of her.
"Don't worry, mother. Your daughter-in-law will do her best to take good care of Concubine Shu." Lu agreed readily.
"During this time when the Third Prince is at home, there will probably be many eyes watching him. If he is not careful, he will be caught by someone and many rumors will arise, which will be extremely disadvantageous to the Third Prince."
The old lady said, "Yan Xiu is very busy with the Ministry of Revenue, and he has many things to worry about. It is inevitable that many things will be missed. Chengye needs to pay more attention to him during this period of time. He should keep the doors of his home closed more tightly, control his tongue more, and pay more attention to what is happening outside."
"Yes, son, I understand." He Chengye nodded.
"Yes." The old lady looked at He Yanxiu, "It can be said that this matter is all thanks to Ping'an County Lord. If Ping'an County Lord had not discovered this matter, the consequences would have been disastrous."
"Just now I heard you say that you would temporarily place Ping'an County Lord in Meixiang Garden?"
"That's right." He Yanxiu nodded.
"Although the yard is spacious, many things there are not fashionable. I'm afraid that a little girl might not be used to it. I'll go to the warehouse and pick out some things to send over so that she can live more comfortably."
The old lady thought for a moment and continued, "Although the food cooked by the chefs in the kitchen is still tasty, it is far from Meixiang Garden. I am afraid that the food will not be warm when it is brought over."
"Besides, County Lord Ping'an has just arrived at our He family. Even if he wants to eat something, he may not be able to ask for it because of his shyness. In my opinion, we should pick two cooks from the kitchen and place them in Meixiang Garden."
"There is a separate small kitchen in Meixiang Garden, which will be much more convenient and will make Ping'an County Lord feel more comfortable. As for the expenses of the small kitchen, I will pay for it."
"How can we ask our mother to go? Let our daughter-in-law go instead." Mrs. Lu said.
"You want to compete with me for such a small matter?" The old lady rolled her eyes. "If you want to help, just do something else."
She had finally come up with this idea. If this was snatched away from her, what would she use to get close to her future grandson and his wife?
"Okay..." Lu agreed with a smile, "I won't compete with mother."
At worst, she could just give Su Yujin something else.
As for what to send...
