Chapter 797 The Hou Family's Fortuitous Encounter
Qi Chan laughed and said, "His is actually quite fast."
Just as he had expected, the emperor felt somewhat guilty about the wrong judgment he had made in Yao Tianqin's case five years ago, which had led to his exile for many years. That's why he reinstated Yao Tianqin to his original post without saying a word.
In addition, although Yao Tianqin had few friends, he also had no one with whom he had a deep-seated hatred. As he made meritorious contributions, there were not many voices of opposition in the court.
Therefore, the decision was made quickly. After confirming the practical value of the high-cylinder rotating cart, the emperor issued an edict to have it delivered.
As for Shu Yu's matter, in theory, it shouldn't have dragged on for too long, and she poses even less of a threat to those people in the court.
But just in case, Qi Chan still told her to be patient.
Shu Yu was not in a hurry, and even very calm. "Actually, I haven't suffered much here. It's you who have been troubled by my affairs."
"What are you talking about? Do you think you're the only one who benefits from submitting that fever pack? By giving it to me, you've helped me in some way. Not to mention the fever pack, you also contributed to Yao Tianqin's reinstatement."
Shu Yu laughed. "Why does the gentleman say the same thing as Uncle Yao? That day, Uncle Yao was also telling my father that they helped him, and once his life got better, he would take care of us in return. My father was afraid that after he went back, he would try every means to help me get out of trouble. You know, he finally got his official position back, and if he offended the emperor again because of my matter, wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain? My father advised him not to rush, and that the most important thing right now is to do his job well, and to build good relationships with his superiors and colleagues. He can't be like he was five years ago, just burying his head in his work won't do."
Qi Chan listened and nodded, never expecting Lu Erbai to be such a perceptive person.
But when Shu Yu mentioned his superiors, his hand suddenly paused.
Isn't Yao Tianqin's superior Gong Qiu?
The thought that Gong Qiu had arranged for Cheng Dong to be by the governor's side for many years, and that there were also spies infiltrating the prefect's side in He Tai Prefecture, gave him a feeling that Gong Qiu was probably planning something big.
Yao Tianqin just went back. If he gets involved, he'll have to come back to this place again.
He needs to go back and mention this to Yao Tianqin.
Shu Yu naturally noticed Qi Chan's momentary pause. She lowered her eyes and said no more.
Instead, he asked about the time Yao Tianqin left. "I heard from Uncle Yao that the official from the Ministry of Personnel who came to deliver the imperial edict was in Heichang County, wanting to see you. After meeting you, he returned to the capital with Uncle Yao and the others. Did you meet that official who delivered the edict?"
Qi Chan shook his head. "No, I heard from the county magistrate that he went to the post station yesterday. It's quite a coincidence. When he came to the county town earlier, his horse was startled and he was injured. Later, when he arrived at the post station, his wound reopened, and a woman there gave him medicine to stop the bleeding. The medicine was even better than the one the doctor had prescribed. The messenger was grateful to the woman, so he went to the post station again before leaving. From the description, the woman seems to be Lady Hou."
Shu Yu opened her mouth in surprise, "Hou Shi?"
In fact, the medicine in Hou's hand was given to her by her.
Shu Yu took some of the commonly used pills and powders from Zhao Xi and sent them over. Zhao Xi's medicine was, of course, more effective than that prescribed by ordinary doctors.
Hou helped the messenger, who even went back to visit her. It seems that Hou's life at the post station will be better from now on.
