Chapter 340
"It's just that Yujin's life experience is really rough. She has suffered a lot since she was a child. I'm afraid she has never felt the love of her parents and elders since she can remember. From now on, I will be the grandmother and you will be the mother. We both have to love her well."
No matter what, we must make up for her past suffering and let her taste more sweetness now.
Madam He finished her words and turned to look at Lu. "You just said actually, actually what?"
"Actually..."
Mrs. Lu's mind worked quickly, "My daughter-in-law thinks the same as my mother, and she also thinks that Yujin should be loved more."
Madam He nodded, "I feel relieved with your words."
"Tomorrow, if you can get the Queen Mother's consent to accompany Concubine Shu in the palace, you should also mention this matter to Concubine Shu more often, so that she can have a general idea in her mind. When the time is right, you can ask the Emperor for permission to marry her as soon as possible."
"Yes, daughter-in-law understands." Lu responded repeatedly.
It was great that the old lady had the same idea as her.
If the marriage is granted earlier and Su Yujin and He Yanxiu are married sooner, they can have beautiful grandchildren sooner. By then, she, He Chengye and the old lady will be surrounded by the cute little babies...
Just thinking about it makes me happy! We must ask for an imperial decree to grant the marriage as soon as possible! After a busy day, everyone went to bed early.
It is a clear and cold day in winter, and it becomes even colder at night, especially at four o'clock in the morning, when the northwest wind gradually rises, and by five o'clock in the morning, it is already howling.
Some doors and windows that were not closed tightly made slight creaking sounds due to the strong wind.
Because the night suddenly turned cold, the ground heater was not very warm at this time, so the servants on duty added some charcoal into the stove that was burning the ground heater.
The Third Prince had been sleeping intermittently from the afternoon until this time. Rong Liang was worried that he would catch a cold at night if he slept like this all the time. When he was on duty at night, although he slept in the outer room, he not only listened to the movements inside, but also came in to check every once in a while. When he was sure that Qin Peiyou was sleeping soundly, he would go back to take a nap.
Rong Liang just went to check and saw Qin Peiyou sleeping soundly. Nothing seemed to be unusual, so he felt relieved and just covered himself with his quilt.
He squinted his eyes to rest, but still fell into a deep sleep because of the sleepiness.
But Rongliang soon woke up.
I was awakened by a rustling sound.
And the sound seemed to come from inside...
Rong Liang was startled and woke up completely. He quickly got out of bed to check the situation.
By the candlelight in the room, Rong Liang saw Qin Peiyou's curtains move slightly, and a faint whimpering sound came from inside.
He tiptoed to the bedside and lifted the curtain, and Rong Liang was immediately startled.
Qin Peiyou closed his eyes tightly and looked very anxious. His two hands were tightly grasping the quilt covering his body. Because he was holding on too tightly, the ends of his nails were lifted up a little.
His brows were furrowed, and his facial features seemed a little distorted because he was trying hard to hold back his anger. Even his lower lip, which was bitten by his teeth, had beads of blood on it.
Rong Liang couldn't bear to watch, and couldn't help but speak, "If Your Highness really can't bear it any more, shall I go and call County Lord Ping'an over?"
Ping'an County Lord is such an expert in medicine, he should be able to find a way to prevent his master from suffering so much.
Qin Peiyou heard the voice and slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were filled with red bloodshot, and his pupils looked quite cloudy, even his look seemed a little empty.
"No need." Qin Peiyou said in a hoarse voice, "Ping An County Lord said that opium addiction is very difficult to quit. This is just the beginning. If I can't bear it even like this, I'm afraid my disease will never be cured."
"Fortunately, I can still bear it now. If I really can't bear it anymore, it won't be too late to ask Ping An County Lord to come over."
"But……"
Rongliang was very worried.
"I know what I'm doing. You go and have a rest." Qin Peiyou waved his hand with some difficulty.
Seeing Rong Liang still hesitating, Qin Peiyou seemed a little impatient and shouted in a low voice, "Get down!"
Seeing this, Rong Liang could only agree, "Yes."
Seeing that Qin Peiyou closed his eyes and even turned over because he didn't want him to see him, Rong Liang could only put down the curtain again and go back to the outer room to keep watch.
When he returned to his bed again, Rong Liang couldn't fall asleep no matter what, and he even dared not close his eyes.
Although there was no more sound coming from the room, Rong Liang's mind was always filled with the image of Qin Peiyou enduring the agony.
But Qin Peiyou didn't allow him to invite Ping'an County Lord over...
In the following time, Rong Liang kept tossing and turning in bed, no longer feeling sleepy until dawn. After confirming that Qin Peiyou was extremely sleepy and fell asleep in a daze, Rong Liang hurried to Meixiangyuan to find Su Yujin and told her everything that happened last night.
"Your Highness did not allow me to come and invite the County Lord, but after thinking about it, I decided that even if I did not come and invite the County Lord last night, I should still tell the County Lord about the situation last night. The County Lord would have a better idea of what happened, which might help him treat Your Highness."
Rong Liang was very respectful and polite, and his words were very courteous, but his tone revealed deep anxiety and worry.
Su Yujin nodded, "I understand. I will go to visit the Third Prince after breakfast."
"Thank you, my Lord." Rong Liang bowed, "I'll take my leave."
"Slow down."
After washing and tidying up, the cook in the small kitchen also prepared breakfast.
Egg and ham corn cakes, soft and fluffy flower rolls with braised meat and soy sauce, steamed buns with pickled mustard greens and meat filling, small wontons made with various mushrooms and shrimps, soft, glutinous and sweet red date and lotus leaf porridge, and a variety of refreshing and appetizing pickled side dishes.
The two cooks had excellent cooking skills and all the food tasted great, and Su Yujin was full of praise.
However, although the food was delicious, Su Yujin ate very slowly.
Firstly, chewing slowly makes digestion easier and is good for your health.
Secondly...
Su Yujin chuckled.
However, when she swallowed the last delicious wonton, she still didn't see any trace of He Yanxiu.
Su Yujin put down his bowl and chopsticks and sighed slightly.
It seems that He Yanxiu will not come.
Ai Cao looked at Su Yujin with some disappointment and said hurriedly, "Miss, I heard from the people in the courtyard that the palace gate will be opened at 12:00 a.m. Although the He family is not far from the palace, the second master also needs to go out at the beginning of 12:00 a.m.."
Therefore, it was very normal that he was not at the He family at this time, and there was a reason for it.
"I see." Su Yujin nodded slightly.
She had to go out to work so early, much earlier than she usually got up...
