Three days later.
As soon as the morning court was over, the emperor called Mousse alone.
"My dear Lord Mu, do you know whether Rong Yunnan from your wife's family can return to Beijing on time today?" The emperor was always concerned about the medicinal materials of the Rong family. They were used by his mother to regulate her health. The prescription was only missing that one medicinal material.
"Your Majesty, if nothing unexpected happens, it will be today. My wife and daughter will go to Rong Mansion early in the morning, and my daughter will deliver the medicinal materials to the farm."
Mousse remembered that Rong Qing mentioned this matter to him when he went out in the morning.
"That's good, that's good. Do you want me to send someone to pick her up?" The emperor was still a little worried.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. My Yue family has its own caravan. Transporting medicinal materials is a common thing for the Rong family."
Mousse is not bragging, the Rong family is indeed very good in this regard.
"I am also so excited. Shu'er is really the lifesaver of my whole family. Before she was the Empress, then she was the Princess of Zhenshan, and now she is the Queen Mother."
The emperor felt that Mu Shi’s child was not a daughter, but the savior of their Jun family.
"If the emperor thinks so, why don't you give some rewards? My niece likes silver notes the most, and my daughter likes them too."
Mousse took the opportunity to ask for rewards for his niece and daughter. He would not be polite to the emperor.
"You just won't let me go. Don't worry, the Queen and the Queen Mother will definitely reward you." The Emperor was even more speechless towards Mu Si. He was not as low-key as Mu Shi.
"It was Your Majesty who said Shu'er was the savior of the Jun family. The King of Zhenshan is much more generous than you." When Mousse thought of the gifts and banknotes that the King of Zhenshan's Mansion had given to Murong Shu, Mousse couldn't help but sigh that it was generous.
"You only dare to throw a tantrum at me." The emperor scolded Mousse with a smile. Because of Mu Shi's relationship, the emperor was very indulgent towards Mousse in private.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I plan to wait until Shu Shizi recovers and then go to Anping Hou to ask for Shu Er's medical fees. My niece and her husband are newlyweds, and in order to treat Shu Shizi, she can't even take care of her husband every day. Haven't you seen how gloomy her husband's face is every day?"
The first half of Mousse's sentence was a joke to the emperor, but the second half was true. Our Third Young Master Wen would really be upset if he couldn't see his wife every day.
When the emperor thought of Wen Jing's low mood after marriage, he felt deeply affected. He had to put on a smile every day, fearing that Wen Jing would quit his job.
The Wen family is now centered around Wen Jing, and Prime Minister Wen is ready to retire. He believes that his son is more far-sighted in officialdom, can help the emperor better, and can also make the Wen family go further.
His cousin Shu Shi was ill, and he relied entirely on Murong Shu and his third uncle for treatment. Although they did it for Yueyue's sake, it did affect Wen Jing's newlywed life.
Wen Jing knew the significance of Yueyue to Murong Shu and Tianmen Mountain. He fully supported his junior sister's father's treatment, but when it came to treating the emperor's cousin, Wen Jing naturally had to show his favor to the emperor.
The emperor felt that his life was too difficult.
When the emperor learned that the medicinal materials would arrive today, he asked Mousse to get busy. He was afraid that he would have a heart attack if he continued talking.
Mousse hurried to report for duty. He had to finish his work early because he had to go find his wife and daughter, even though his daughter might not be home by the time he got off duty.
Rong Qing and Yue Yue are here.
They went to the city gate early in the morning. In order to ensure the safety of this batch of medicinal materials, Rong Yunnan went there in person this time.
This batch of medicinal herbs is Murong Shu's first batch of experimental herbs. Unexpectedly, they were really grown. As for whether they are qualified or not, we have to wait for Murong Shu's inspection.
Rong Yunnan knew that Murong Shu cared a lot about this batch of medicinal materials. Besides, the Empress Dowager was going to use them, so the Rong family dared not make any mistakes.
An hour had passed since the estimated time, but Rong Qing and Yue Yue still hadn't waited for Rong Yunnan.
"Mom, why hasn't uncle come yet? Did you remember the time wrong?" Yueyue asked Rong Qing worriedly.
Rong Qing was very anxious, today's trip was indeed a bit long, and she trusted her brother the most when he was doing things, and now she was worried that something had gone wrong.
"Uncle might have been delayed on the road. Can we wait a little longer?" Although Rong Qing was very worried, he still tried to comfort his daughter first.
Yueyue nodded when she heard that. At worst, she could just ride her horse and deliver it to her senior sister as soon as possible.
After waiting for about half an hour, the carriage of Rong Yunnan and his group finally appeared in sight.
"Mom, look, it's my uncle's carriage!" Yueyue had good eyesight and saw the carriage with the Rong family logo from a long distance. He knew that his uncle had returned.
Rong Qing was relieved at this time, fortunately nothing happened.
When the carriage got closer, Rong Qing was shocked to find that everyone in the group had bruises on their faces, even the coachman.
Rong Qing's heart skipped a beat. Before she could ask what happened, the driver knelt down in front of her and cried, "Miss, please save the Second Young Master quickly. It's my fault that I failed to protect him."
"Uncle Li, get up quickly. What happened to Yunnan?" Rong Qing's hands were shaking at this moment, and his worry about Rong Yunnan reached its extreme.
"Miss, we were beaten. The Second Young Master was seriously injured. All the medicinal materials were destroyed in the carriage. Only a few were left. The Second Young Master tried his best to protect them."
The driver Uncle Li cried as he reported the situation to Rong Qing. Yueyue noticed that Uncle Li's arm was in a strange position, so she directly stepped forward and connected it for him before he could react.
Uncle Li suddenly found that his arm could move. With red eyes, he thanked Yueyue, "Thank you, Miss Yueyue. Go and help the Second Young Master. His condition is worse than mine."
Yueyue hurried to the carriage, and found that her usually gentle uncle Yunnan was lying weakly in her mother's arms, his clothes were covered in mud and had many tears.
Yueyue took a quick check and discovered that her uncle's arm was broken, her anger reaching its peak.
"Mother, my uncle's arm is broken and it's difficult to move. Please take my uncle back home first." Yueyue knew that her senior sister's Guiningyuan had a pharmacy and a so-called operating room.
"Mother knows that Yueyue went to the farm to pick up Shuer." Rong Qing was already crying as he spoke. Looking at the miserable state of his second brother and the convoy, the usually gentle Rong Qing now felt like killing someone.
"Come out!" Yueyue shouted to the air, and Anping Hou's two secret guards knelt directly in front of Yueyue.
"One of you escorts my mother and uncle back home, and the other goes to the farm to pick up my senior sister." Yueyue instructed the two secret guards.
The secret guard took Yueyue's order and immediately took action.
Rong Qing asked his maid to inform Mu Si to return home, and Yueyue asked the maid to tell Mu Si that her brother-in-law must also come back.
Rong Qing also arranged for the other people in the caravan to go to Rong’s Pharmacy. After examination, any serious cases would be sent to the Mu Mansion.
When everything was arranged and ready to return home, Yueyue jumped off the carriage and got directly on the horse.
Rong Qing asked anxiously, "Yueyue, where are you going?"
