Chapter 19 Su He Delivers Fish Soup
After taking the pulse, Doctor Liu stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, Crown Prince, the Emperor is fine. He will recover after a few days of rest. I will go get the medicine and boil it."
The prince nodded: "Go ahead, be careful."
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Doctor Liu hurriedly retreated.
"Father, you are alright. I will take my leave now. I will come back to see you later."
The emperor on the bed just waved at him and closed his eyes.
The prince bowed and retreated.
"Nineth Master."
As soon as the prince left, the emperor sat up by himself, no longer looking half-hearted as before.
"Your Majesty, this old servant is here."
"You old fellow, stop standing there and tell me what happened in the past two days."
The emperor was not stupid. When he woke up, he was surrounded by only the Ninth Eunuch, the Crown Prince, and the Imperial Physician. There was not a single minister or woman in the harem. He felt like he was imprisoned.
What the emperor feared most was that someone was thinking about the chair under his butt, especially his sons. He was not even old yet, but they were wishing he would die soon.
He hasn't sat on the throne long enough, so how can he allow anyone to covet his throne?
Otherwise, he would not allow the prince to suppress his troublesome sons.
The Ninth Eunuch's eyes flashed: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is the regent every day. After he finishes his work at court, he stays here to guard you. He hasn't closed his eyes for two days and two nights.
The old Duke and his men are diligently investigating the theft. The Empress and the other ladies come to pay their respects every day."
Speaking of the theft, the emperor's eyes flashed with anger. He slammed his fist on the bed, glared at the Ninth Eunuch and asked, "Old man, who do you think did this?"
He really couldn't figure out who had the means to empty the national treasury right under his nose.
The ministers' houses were also moved.
The Ninth Eunuch bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not speaking nonsense."
His name is Jiu, but he doesn't have nine lives. When the emperor is happy, he can say anything, but when he is unhappy, he can't say anything.
It seems that this Ninth Eunuch is very glorious in front of and behind the people, and is a favorite of the emperor and his son, but his head is the place closest to the knife.
"I'm sorry, but if I really wanted to chop off your head, I'd still be able to keep it until now."
The Ninth Eunuch laughed dryly. "Your Majesty, are you suspecting the Crown Prince? Suspecting him of embezzlement?"
Looking across the Xifeng Kingdom, only the prince's power is comparable to that of the emperor, and he also has that strength.
The emperor did not deny it: "Over the years, his courage has grown, and his appetite has naturally grown. In Xifeng Kingdom, who else can be stronger than him except me?"
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" The Ninth Eunuch's eyes rolled around.
"Don't test me. Don't you understand what I mean, old man? Immediately send someone to protect the fourth prince all the way so that he can reach his destination safely. This will be considered as giving the prince something to do."
Otherwise, he would only have his eyes on the throne in the future. He knew the prince too well and would definitely attack the fourth brother on the way, but he just didn't do what the prince wanted.
The prince's power is growing stronger and stronger, even stronger than his father, the emperor. It's time to train some opponents for him.
The fourth brother is not a fool.
While thinking of his opponents, the emperor also thought of his own sons, the fifth one, who was as cunning as a fox. He must be laughing to death in his prince's mansion.
The Ninth Eunuch looked at the Emperor and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it right away."
No one knows that the Ninth Eunuch is a true martial arts master who works exclusively for the emperor and commands a group of the emperor's most elite secret guards.
No one knows about this secret guard, who only work for the emperor personally.
"Well, go ahead, old man, and bring Old Five to me and summon him to the palace."
"Yes." Ninth Eunuch accepted the order and left.
Su Yue didn't know that she had emptied the emperor's treasury and received the emperor's protection along the way. At this time, the three of them came to the pot, smelled the fragrant fish soup, and Nanny Song began to scoop it.
"Caixia, bring a bowl to the old lady first." Nanny Song scooped a bowl for Caixia first and said.
Caixia took the bowl and passed it to the old lady who was waiting on the side. The maid Xiaohong took it. The old lady smelled the fragrance, took a deep breath, and drank it slowly.
Su Xue and Su He beside them also smelled the fragrant fish soup and swallowed their saliva embarrassedly.
"Well, it tastes really good. I have never tasted such delicious fish soup. Xue'er and He'er, you should go and have some too." said the old man.
"good."
Su Xue and Su He received the order and quickly stood up and gathered around the pot, standing together with Su Yue and his sister.
Nanny Song scooped a few more bowls and asked the maids to take them to the old marquis and other masters before she scooped some for the younger generation like Su Yue.
Qin Lingtou also got a bowl, he took it and ran away immediately.
Su Yue, Su Qiwen, Su Xue, and Su He also each took a bowl, sat down next to the old lady, and started drinking.
"Sister, the fish soup is so delicious." Su Qiwen took a sip and added a little salt, without even ginger. The taste was so fresh that it was comparable to delicacies from land and sea.
Su Yue smiled and said, "I've been eating steamed bread these past two days, but now everything tastes delicious."
"No, sister, it's really delicious." Su Xue looked satisfied.
"Sister, what's in this fish soup? It's so delicious." Su He smiled sweetly at Su Yue and asked.
"Even food can't stop you from asking so many questions." The old lady rolled her eyes at her.
Su He stuck out his tongue, buried his head in drinking the soup, and left after finishing it.
"By the way, sister, did you bring a bowl to Murong Li?" Su Qiwen remembered it when he was almost done drinking.
"He is definitely indispensable. Big brother cares about him quite a bit."
"Is my sister jealous?"
"I'd be jealous? You're kidding."
"Miss." As the brother and sister were talking, Caixia hurried over.
"What happened? Why is it so urgent?"
"Miss."
Caixia glanced at the old lady, then leaned over to Su Yue's ear and whispered, "Miss, when I was delivering fish soup to Master Li, I ran into the Second Miss. She said she was delivering it to Master Li, but I saw she had bad intentions and refused. She snatched the bowl away and delivered it to Master Li. Miss, would you like to go over and take a look? I always feel that the Second Miss has bad intentions."
Su Yue turned to Su Qiwen and said, "Brother, come with us to take a look."
Su Qiwen only heard Caixia chattering a lot, but he didn't hear clearly, but it was definitely not something good, so he nodded.
The brother and sister followed Caixia and quickly walked towards Murong Li.
After Su He snatched the fish soup from Caixia, he quickly came to Murong Li. When he was almost there, he saw Murong Li lying lazily on the stretcher, his eyes looking at the sky. He didn't know what he was thinking.
When Su He saw this scene, she felt that Murong Li was just like the suave and elegant young man in the painting. His incredibly handsome profile made her heart pound.
She had never seen such a handsome man before. After that glimpse yesterday, Murong Li's shadow could not be erased from her mind.
