If he hadn't just heard what she said, Lu Zhixing would never have imagined that his respected grandmother spoke of him so casually, as if he were an object in the palace, without any weight or emotion.
Asking this question now is nothing more than testing whether I am awake or not.
Lu Zhixing lay motionless on the bed, as if he was in a coma.
"Your Majesty, I have checked. His Royal Highness Prince Jing has indeed fainted and will not wake up for a while." Su Jin is an old nanny who knows a lot about medicine. Even the director of the Imperial Hospital has praised her, so she is very confident.
The Queen Mother finally felt relieved and told Su Jin, "Be careful when you go to the Imperial Hospital to do your work. Don't let the Emperor's people get hold of us. Pu'er, it's better for you not to wake up for the time being."
"Yes, Queen Mother."
King Jing's hidden illness broke out and he had to stay in the Queen Mother's palace to recuperate.
When the news was passed back to Prince Jing's Mansion, Song Yushu had already anticipated this outcome. Lu Zhixing was having a hard time in the palace, so she had to make arrangements as soon as possible so that he could return home as soon as possible.
"Master, if you want the prince to return home as soon as possible, you must make sure that the breakthrough to the death squad does not happen on the prince's body." Song Chun felt that this matter was not unsolvable.
Song Yushu didn't think it was a big deal. Both the Crown Prince and Prince Yu had ignored it. Besides, she was still in the mansion. What was the point of bringing Lu Zhixing to the palace?
No matter how the Lin family struggles, the illegal mining of the mineral vein will definitely deal them a heavy blow.
She immediately went to the Supervisory Office and asked Jiang Siyuan to come over because there was a problem with the official document.
"This case is just an ordinary case. You should focus your energy on the case of the son of Marquis Wenchang." Jiang Siyuan came in and accused Song Yushu of "not doing his job properly."
Song Yushu was speechless at this straightforward person. She just wanted to find a reason to call Jiang Siyuan over. She waved her hand, and the people from Luoxue Villa immediately went out to stand guard.
"Imperial Censor Jiang, tell me, how can you defend the Censorate if you are so inflexible?" Song Yushu couldn't help but complain.
Jiang Siyuan then realized that Song Yushu had something else to say, so he pursed his lips and remained silent.
Song Yushu glanced at Jiang Siyuan from head to toe. She felt that he was a little strange, but she didn't want to investigate. "Now the prince is being held in the palace, all because of the assassin. I need you to report to His Majesty that you have a way to make the assassin speak."
Only then did Jiang Siyuan turn to look at Song Yushu, "Are you doing this for King Jing?"
Song Yushu finally realized why she had felt so strange. Jiang Siyuan hadn't even looked at her since he came in! She frowned, "If not for him, then for whom? Since we're allies, there's no need for me to go around in circles with you."
"You, do you have any way to make the assassins speak?" Jiang Siyuan stared at Song Yushu, his eyes full of inquiry.
King Jing, a prince, actually favored a eunuch so much. Not only did he hand over the management of the mansion to him before, but now he even told him how to deal with the assassins...
Song Yushu always felt that Jiang Siyuan was weird today, but saving people was the most important thing. In the palace, Lu Zhixing didn't know what he would encounter.
"Before entering the palace, Your Highness gave me the scroll of the captured assassins. Based on this scroll, I found the family of one of the assassins. Give this to the assassin, and he will definitely talk." Song Yushu handed a longevity lock to Jiang Siyuan.
Jiang Siyuan didn't take out the longevity lock. He looked at Song Yushu with a strange look in his eyes, "Don't let the disaster affect my family! You are too vicious to do this!"
Song Yushu looked at Jiang Siyuan calmly, thinking he was childish and ridiculous. "Do you think we're just playing house? Or do you think your opponent is a kind person? Since you've intervened, I advise you to give up such stupid thoughts as soon as possible."
"I--" Jiang Siyuan opened his mouth to explain, but he had to admit that Song Yushu was right.
In fact, they have already intervened in the party and government. If the Jiang family wants to purge the Supervisory Council and keep their hereditary position as the president of the Supervisory Council, they can only intervene in these bloody storms.
Jiang Siyuan was a typical example of someone who protected his family too well. After scolding him, Song Yushu sighed softly, "Could it be that you think that the assassin's family is better off in the hands of the Crown Prince or Prince Yu than in my hands?"
In other words, Song Yushu also provides another form of protection for the families of the deceased soldiers.
Finally, Jiang Siyuan went to find Jiang Shouli with Song Yushu's idea. After he left, Song Yushu shook his head helplessly. If Jiang Siyuan had known how to be flexible, Jiang Shouli would not have let him enter the Supervisory Council, right?
"Master, Jiang Siyuan is too inflexible. Will he expose you directly?" A young girl from Luoxue Villa frowned and looked in the direction where Jiang Siyuan left.
Song Yushu shook his head. "That's not the case. Although he is a bit straightforward, he is not disloyal. Moreover, he is stupid, but Jiang Shouli is not stupid."
As expected, it was Jiang Shouli who personally presented the method of breaking through the death squad to the emperor, and within half a day, the death squad signed the agreement in the prison.
After the emperor's first-class death squad signed the agreement, he immediately summoned the Minister of the Central Secretariat and directly stripped Prince Yu of his princely status and demoted him to a prince of a county.
However, due to the careless management of the Lin Mansion, Prince Yu sent out assassins to disrupt the court. Lin Zong was fined three months' salary by the emperor and was banned from attending court for three months.
When the decree arrived at the Lin Mansion, it caused an uproar and Old Master Lin fainted from anger.
The Lin family had been prosperous for so many years, but had never suffered such humiliation. Lin Zong even stood up and left after receiving the imperial edict, without even paying attention to the eunuch who came to convey the order.
Taking advantage of the chaos among Lin's faction, Song Yushu asked Song Chun to take the token of Prince Jing's mansion into the palace and ask the Queen Mother for Prince Jing.
The Queen Mother looked at the people in the hall with a serious gaze. She keenly sensed that something was amiss and glanced at Su Jin.
Su Jin understood immediately, "The prince is the empress dowager's grandson. He is cared for by palace maids and supervised by imperial physicians. Now his eye disease has recurred. It is best to wait until he is well before returning home. You should go back and wait."
Song Chun was extremely respectful, but his attitude showed no sign of yielding. "To answer Madam, it is precisely because the prince's eye disease has relapsed that I have come to take him back to the palace. There is a doctor in the palace who has been with the prince all the time and understands his condition best."
Without waiting for the Queen Mother to flare up, Song Chun continued, "The doctors said that if the prince can't return to the mansion to soak in the medicinal springs, I'm afraid the poison will enter his heart."
This reason is reasonable and life-threatening, so the Queen Mother has no reason to stop it. After all, she is still the person who loves Lu Zhixing the most in the Dayan Dynasty.
After a long period of silence in the hall, the empress dowager slowly uttered a few words. Her face was still kind, but the murderous intent in her eyes could no longer be concealed.
"In that case, Su Jin, arrange for a carriage to take Pu'er back home immediately. Don't delay!"
