Chapter 1219 Queen Mother: Why don’t they spread rumors that I’m a man?
When Su Zimu and his wife heard the familiar voice, before they could react, they saw Su Changan sitting at the table.
His sudden appearance startled Su Liu.
Even Su Zimu subconsciously went to support his wife.
But when they saw clearly that it was Su Changan, the couple were stunned. They really didn't expect Su Changan to appear suddenly.
Mrs. Su Liu looked at Su Changan who was smiling at the two of them and said, "You scared me. How come you suddenly appeared?"
As he spoke, he walked forward and gently hit Su Changan, then frowned and smoothed his chest with his hand.
Su Zimu, who was standing by, was also a little frightened, but he calmed down. However, he noticed the hairpin on Su Changan's head, smiled and said, "It's okay to scare me, but if your mother is scared, I'll see what you will do."
Su Changan stood up and bowed to the couple, then looked at Su Liushi with a smile: "Dad, Mom, isn't this a surprise for you two?"
Su Liu glared at Su Changan, then changed her posture and sat on the chair.
Now Su Liu's belly has become bulging and more obvious. She also cannot sit on the chair for a long time. If she sits for too long, she has to change her posture.
After glaring at Su Changan, he said, "If you scare your mother into something serious, you will regret it."
After saying that, Su Liu reached out and grabbed Su Changan's hand, looking at him carefully.
Su Changan chuckled.
But before Su Changan could speak, Su Zimu asked, "How is your Majesty?"
Su Liu quickly looked at Su Changan.
Su Changan said, "I'm fine. I was about to go to bed when I came out. I ate two large bowls of noodles before going to bed."
Su Liushi quickly asked, "I heard that you were angry? You are pregnant, you can't be so angry."
Su Changan nodded: "It was because of emotional fluctuations. My abdomen hurt for a while, but Mr. Zhang said it was normal and it will be healed soon. She is in better health than me."
As he spoke, Su Changan took out an envelope from his bosom and handed it to Su Liushi: "You came to ask about your well-being. She was worried that you were also pregnant and worried about this, so she asked me to bring it to you."
Su Liu took it and took out the letter. There were actually only a few lines of words on the letter.
Su Changan also knew what to write, just a few basic sentences.
But in fact, this was the first time Xia Fengxiang wrote something like this to Su Liushi.
There is always a big gap in status and we are not familiar with each other, so there is no such thing.
But today in the palace, Xia Fengxiang looked at what Su Liushi had written. Ever since Su Liushi knew that Su Changan was a boy and that His Majesty was pregnant, she had asked Wu Daming to send in some things for pregnant women from time to time. Xia Fengxiang naturally accepted all of them.
Therefore, today I only accepted the greetings from Su Liushi.
However, Su Liushi was a little frightened at first, but after seeing the contents of the letter, her expression softened and she smiled faintly: "It's good that nothing happened. The rumors in the market are so mysterious. I'm really worried that she will affect her health."
As he said that, he looked at Su Changan who was drinking tea and said angrily, "You too, just send someone to escort him out. Why don't you come out with him?"
Su Changan put down the teacup and said, "Your daughter-in-law thinks highly of you, so she insisted that I personally deliver it to you. Besides, I miss you, too."
Su Liu looked at Su Changan and knew there was something else going on with just one glance.
Su Zimu, who was standing by, smiled gently and helped pour the water. Naturally, he also saw what was fishy.
Because Su Changan always had a serious expression when he lied, the couple had noticed it before.
However, after Su Changan coughed, he did not intend to continue talking about this topic. Anyway, he was definitely not kicked out, so there was no need to talk about it. So he changed the subject and said, "I just heard you say that someone is bothering you?"
Mrs. Su Liu shook her head: "It's not annoying. These things will happen eventually. We can handle them."
As she spoke, Su Liu reached out and pinched Su Changan's arm. He had grown some fleshier than before, and some flesh had also grown in the sunken areas of his face.
Su Liu felt much more comfortable.
Looking at the hairpin on Su Changan's head, she couldn't help but smile.
As a woman, she doesn't care about what's going on in the court. She just wants the people she cares about to be well.
Su Changan looked at Su Zimu.
After Su Zimu poured the water, he turned around and brought the fruits and snacks on the bedside table to Su Changan: "After all, only your mother's greeting letter came into the palace. No need to say more about the importance of it, so many people want to inquire about your majesty, but you don't have to worry about it. We know what to do."
While talking, he hadn't sat down yet, but just looked at Su Changan: "It seems that you also concealed your itinerary?"
This is a redundant question, but it must be asked clearly.
Su Changan nodded: "Well, after all, it's not good for people to know that I left the palace at this time. I wanted to come directly to you two, but when I came, I found that Second Aunt, Third Aunt and Aunt Wu were all there, so I didn't come."
Su Zimu said, "In that case, I'll ask the kitchen to make some food. Don't go into the yard. I'll go get it."
Su Liu glanced at Su Zimu. Why ask if you can just do it?
Su Changan said quickly, "We just ate, it's not necessary, just sit down. Besides, I don't really care, it's mainly because handing over the visiting cards like this makes you two feel annoyed, and my mother is pregnant, quietness is important."
Su Zimu smiled and said, "How quiet can you be? With such a big thing, many people with ulterior motives have been ready to make a move. People in the streets don't know your true situation, and with all the gossip, some people think they are good at planning. There are many petty officials, and they all have their own ideas. Don't mention King An, King Chu, King Yue and others. Even here, Da Mengzi, as your apprentice, has been able to meet many of the 'good people' she told me about recently."
"Although it is understandable, now everyone is saying that His Majesty got sick in Yandi, and Mr. Zhang and Mr. Mo have been invited to live in the palace. Who knows how serious His Majesty's illness is. They are all focusing on the Su Mansion. It's just that they haven't found other people yet, but it will be tomorrow. I roughly thought that tomorrow the Su Mansion will definitely have a batch of people coming one after another, but it won't be a big deal."
Su Changan looked at Su Zimu and knew that Su Zimu had seen through it.
Su Zimu said nothing more. He explained the matter to his son in a few words, saying that it was not his place to meddle in other people's business.
Although the former Minister of the Central Secretariat was emotionally introverted and dull, it did not mean that he had no political acumen, otherwise how could he have sat in the position of Minister of the Central Secretariat.
However, Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang both knew that this matter could not be concealed from some people. But being able to be seen through by others is one thing, and whether it is true or false is another.
Besides, if the emperor is not ill, what is the reason for Mr. Zhang's attitude today?
Therefore, many people are eager to verify it.
So aren’t they all coming to the Su Mansion?
But there was naturally no need to lie to Su Zimu, so Su Changan directly told him what had just happened.
Su Changan came here today to reassure Su Liushi, so he could speak frankly, "It is true that I invited Mr. Zhang and Mr. Mo to the palace for medical treatment, but I asked them to go to the palace clinic. The weather has been very hot recently, and many palace maids are uncomfortable due to the heat. I would like to trouble them to help take a look and check the bodies of the palace maids. I also wanted to be on the safe side for His Majesty, so I invited them to stay in the palace for a while. As for what people outside the palace think, that is their own business."
At this point, Su Changan looked at Su Liushi and said, "How about you two move into the palace and live there? Those people in the palace won't dare to come."
Su Liu smiled and said, "There are so many rules in the palace. Even if you were there, I wouldn't dare to live there. And even if I went, would they not come to the Su Mansion?"
Mrs. Su Liu straightened Su Changan's clothes and said, "Don't worry about us. We can handle it. Besides, it's better not to see them. They can't force their way in."
Su Changan nodded, knowing that his good intentions were useless, and Su Liushi didn't want all of them to go to waste.
But yeah.
Looking at the couple, Su Changan said, "Dad, Mom, let me tell you, Qing Ning enlightened me today. She said that we should spread rumors that I am a man. Then I thought, they are so imaginative, and there are so many rumors about me in the market, why don't they spread rumors that I am a man?"
Hearing this, the couple looked at each other and then looked at Su Changan.
Although he was dressed in black and the mask was placed on the side of his head.
But it still looks good.
To say men
Su Liu looked at Su Changan's distressed face and knew that she had to say something.
Su Zimu said, "Maybe he didn't expect it."
Su Changan said: "But they even thought of the next emperor, how come they didn't think that I was a man? And I carefully considered what I did before, don't many things prove that I am a man?"
Su Liu couldn't help but ask: "Which ones?"
Su Changan immediately looked at Su Liushi in confusion.
Su Liu was embarrassed, but she looked at Su Changan and held Su Changan's hand with one hand: "Son, don't care about what others think. It's good that they can't imagine you are a man. It shows that you are good-looking."
Su Liu really didn't know what to say. She couldn't just say, "You are like this. Even your father and I have been thinking about it all night and still can't figure out why you are a man."
Su Changan curled his lips and said, "What the hell? Why didn't you think that it's good that I'm a man?"
I feel wronged!
Very wronged!
However, just as Su Liushi finished speaking, there was the sound of jogging footsteps in the yard.
Su Zimu had just closed the door, so Su Changan didn't have to hide.
I heard the servant outside the door say: "Master, Madam, Lady Anshan said that she has some herbs for calming the nerves and nourishing the fetus and must hand them over to Madam in person. Now she is standing at the gate and won't leave."
Hearing this, Su Changan looked at Su Liu and smiled.
Su Liu frowned slightly and glanced at Su Zimu.
Su Zimu looked at Su Changan: "I'll go take a look, you talk to your mother."
But just as he finished speaking, another servant came running over from outside the door, "Master, Madam, Madam Zhang from the Ling residence gave me a letter and asked me to give it to you, saying that you must see her after reading it."
Hearing this, Su Zimu pushed it away.
The two servants didn't dare to say anything when they saw the master's expression. To be honest, let alone the master and the mistress, even they were annoyed by those people. If they didn't want to see them, they just didn't want to see them. Why did they have to do this?
His Majesty is ill, you should go and visit Him, why are you bothering our Su Mansion?
Su Zimu took the envelope from one of them and looked at the sweat on their foreheads: "Sit down and take a rest. We will tell you whether you see it or not after we finish reading it."
The two men clasped their fists.
Su Zimu returned to the house and handed the letter to Su Liushi, but did not open it directly.
Su Liu originally wanted to give it to Su Changan, but Su Changan smiled and shook his head.
So Su Liu opened it herself.
The content of the letter was just one sentence, "Madam, I know about the rumors about the Queen."
Seeing this, Su Liu looked at Su Changan and Su Zimu.
Su Zimu frowned and stared at the words on the paper.
He knew that the Third Brother, the Shen Ce Mansion, and the Dali Temple were all investigating the matter, but there had been no result. The main reason was that there were too many people involved and it was too complicated. How could the people in the Ling Mansion know about it?
Su Changan said, "Let her in. She's not going to leave until she sees you and mother. She even told me all about how all those things happened to me. You can't just go out and say a few words to her. Besides, the old lady from Anshanbo's family is an expert in gynecology. Who knows, she might have some good herbs. If they are good, we can exchange them for them."
Su Zimu nodded, but looked at Su Changan before speaking.
Then he saw Su Changan had already run behind the screen and stuck his head out to look at Su Zimu and Su Liushi, "I'll be listening here."
Su Liu smiled helplessly.
Su Zimu looked outside the door and said, "Please invite the two ladies in."
