"Madam, the noble lady in the palace has sent her confidant to ask you to come to the palace when you are free, so that they can catch up with you."
"Noble Lady Li?" Su Wenyue raised her eyebrows. The position of the mistress of the harem had not yet been decided. Guo, Yin Lihua, and Chen Li were all conferred the title of noble ladies. This was a sensitive time. Noble Lady Li invited her into the palace, it might not be as simple as reminiscing about the past. Even if she seemed to have some friendship with Noble Lady Li at the beginning, it was not worth her getting involved in these matters.
But since she has come to invite him, it would not be good to refuse her bluntly, as it would offend her after all. Before Su Wenyue could think of a proper solution, she received the news that Yin Lihua had sent someone to invite her, which gave her a headache.
Su Wenyue also had some feelings for Yin Lihua. In her previous life, Yin Lihua gave up the position of queen on her own initiative because Liu Xiu valued her so much and occupied the most advantageous position. So many things have changed in this life. Guiren Yin is far less favored now than she was then. She probably doesn't have the confidence she had then, so she joined the competition for the harem's main position at the beginning.
"Husband, you said that they all want to be invited into the palace one by one. Could it be because of the position of the mistress of the harem?" Su Wenyue had a headache. She asked Han Yu to discuss it, but it seemed that this was the reason. The main reason was that she wanted Han Yu to give her some ideas on how to deal with it. In this regard, Su Wenyue felt that even if she had a brain, she couldn't compare to Han Yu.
Han Yu felt distressed when he saw his wife having such a headache. Moreover, the fact that Concubine Li and Concubine Yin were looking for his wife at this time might mean that things were not that simple. It was not just the Emperor's test in the morning. He had just received some information from his spies in the palace.
"Do you still remember the colorful exquisite lantern we won at the Lantern Festival that day? Later, it was taken away by Sikong Ling. Now he has presented it to the emperor. There is confirmed news that there is a treasure map hidden in that palace lantern. The colorful exquisite lantern also fell into our hands. The emperor must have known the news and tried to test me today. Concubine Li and Concubine Yin must also want to get information from you. If you can really get any useful information and make a contribution to the emperor, you will be closer to that position."
"So that's what's happening. I was wondering why they chose this time to invite me to the palace." Su Wenyue finally understood. However, now that she understood Chen Li and Yin Lihua's purpose, Su Wenyue became worried again. Because of this reason, even if she politely refused, the two people in the harem would not give up so easily.
Han Yu spoke up at this time. He couldn't bear to see his wife frowning and looking worried. "What's there to worry about? I have told the emperor everything I need to say about the colorful exquisite lamp. As for the concubines, if you don't want to see them, just refuse them directly. There is no need to worry about anything. Now, you don't need to compromise. I will support you in any matter. You are a super-class lady guarding the country. Not to mention that the position of queen is not yet determined, even if the position of queen is determined, the queen will still be polite and considerate of you. There is really no need to embarrass yourself like this."
Su Wenyue was enlightened immediately after hearing this, her eyes sparkling, "My husband is right, I have nothing to fear with your support, if I shrink back, it will only humiliate my reputation as the Lady of the State, not to mention that you don't even want to get involved in the affairs of the court, let alone me."
Han Yu smiled and nodded. Although his wife sometimes made fools, she was always smart when she needed to be. She understood the truth without his detailed guidance.
"By the way, what about the colorful exquisite lamp and the treasure map?"
Su Wenyue turned the topic back to the treasure map. She and Han Yu knew what happened back then, especially the emperor had already asked about Han Yu.
Han Yu held Su Wenyue's hand and said, "Whether the treasure map is real or fake has nothing to do with us, right? I have made up my mind not to get involved in this matter, so there is no need to pay attention to this matter."
Su Wenyue nodded and shook Han Yu's hand in return. She felt instantly at ease and the atmosphere suddenly became warm. However, Han Yu suddenly frowned.
"Husband, what's wrong with you? Has your leg disease recurred again?" Su Wenyue asked hurriedly. Seeing Han Yu like this, she quickly helped Han Yu lie on the bed, but she did not panic. Han Yu's leg disease had occurred more than once or twice, and she was able to deal with it calmly. However, she felt sorry for Han Yu, so she gave orders and asked someone to immediately invite the imperial physician.
"But is it painful? Your leg disease is getting worse. Every time the imperial physician comes, he does the same thing. Apart from relieving some pain, there is no real effect at all. It's simply treating the symptoms and not the root cause. In my opinion, you should find Divine Doctor Mu as soon as possible. Divine Doctor Mu has superb medical skills and may be able to cure your leg disease so that you don't have to endure such pain every time." Su Wenyue had thought so a long time ago and had sent people out to look for Divine Doctor Mu. However, Divine Doctor Mu's whereabouts were erratic and no news had been sent back. Thinking of this, Su Wenyue frowned even more.
"Silly girl, don't worry. I have already contacted Doctor Mu, and he arrived in the capital yesterday, but I didn't have time to tell you."
"Really? That's great. We don't have to ask for the imperial physician. We can just ask Divine Doctor Mu to come over now. With Divine Doctor Mu here, he will be more useful than any imperial physician." Su Wenyue said happily. As she spoke, she was about to take action immediately, but was stopped by Han Yu.
"Don't do that yet, let the imperial physician come over..."
Su Wenyue turned to look at Han Yu. Because she was anxious, she didn't think about anything else. She immediately understood Han Yu's intention: "You want to..."
"My wife is smart. My old illness has relapsed and the pain is unbearable. It is difficult for me to even walk. I can barely take care of myself, let alone the affairs of the court. I am really unable to do it. I can only ask the emperor to find someone more capable. As for you, my wife, you must stay in the mansion to take care of me."
Han Yu said with a smile that he had intended to withdraw and now was a good time to do so. He could achieve his goal without damaging the emperor's reputation. Moreover, the emperor was probably still suspicious about the Qicai Linglong incident. The matter could not be delayed any longer, otherwise he would be involved.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"My husband is right. His condition is serious now. One imperial physician may not be enough. We should invite a few more imperial physicians to discuss whether there is any way to diagnose and treat it." Su Wenyue followed Han Yu's words and immediately made arrangements. As for whether Han Yu's leg disease was so serious, Su Wenyue was not worried at all. Since Han Yu said it, he must have made plans.
Soon, several imperial doctors were hurriedly called in by the servants of the Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion. When they saw Madam Zhenguo wiping her tears with red eyes in front of the window, and the Marquis of Zhenguo lying on the bed with a weak and pale face and sweating, even if they had a little complaint in their hearts, they did not dare to show it at this time and carefully took Han Yu's pulse and examined him.
