Chapter 321 You're a Madman
"What a joke! How could my future son-in-law of Western Xia be a mere imperial physician in your Eastern Mausoleum?" someone among the Western Xia envoys shouted.
“Yu Hai is from Dongling. His relationship with Zhizhi cannot change that. Besides, you said it was the future, not the present. There is nothing wrong with Yu Hai working in the Imperial Hospital.”
"Also, he wasn't in the Imperial Hospital for long; he was just temporarily taking care of the Empress because of his superior medical skills."
Jiang Wanning had already arranged for Yu Hai to register his household in Dongling, so Yu Hai is now a resident of Dongling.
"Doesn't your Eastern Mausoleum Imperial Hospital have any competent physicians? Why must we, the future imperial son-in-law, take care of your Empress?" one of the Western Xia envoys said.
Jiang Wan Ning knew that these people were acting under the orders of Tuoba Wen Jing, otherwise they wouldn't have dared to offend Shen Ru Zhi so easily.
"The medical skills of everyone in our Eastern Mausoleum Imperial Hospital are naturally superb. It's just that I have a deep friendship with Her Majesty the Empress, and my master helped me out when Yu Hai needed help."
"Furthermore, no matter what, Yu Hai is a member of Dongling. What he does has nothing to do with you."
“What Princess Langya says is true.” Tuoba Wenjing smiled, “However, Yu Hai is now my future consort of Western Xia. If the people of Western Xia find out…”
"The future prince consort of Western Xia is still working as a lowly imperial physician in your Eastern Mausoleum. Where do we Western Xia people put our faces? I won't be able to explain this to you when I go back."
"Furthermore, His Majesty has already asked me what I'm seeking to gain favor with. All I want is for my future consort from Western Xia to return to Western Xia with me as soon as possible."
"This shouldn't be too difficult."
"Are you ever going to stop? I'm still here!" Shen Ruzhi took two steps forward, standing in front of Jiang Wanning. "You keep saying it's for my sake, but I'm in Dongling. What are you sending Yu Hai to Xixia for?"
"Furthermore, even if Yu Hai is just a cook, he's someone I've chosen. What does that have to do with you?"
“Even if he’s with me, he doesn’t necessarily have to become the son-in-law of the Western Xia.”
"Royal sister," Tuoba Wenjing coaxed softly, "This matter was agreed to and requested by Father."
Tuoba Wenjing lowered his voice, "Father said that if Yu Hai agrees to go back, you can come and go to Dongling at any time. If he doesn't agree, you will not be allowed to come and go to Dongling."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Shen Ruzhi glared at Tuoba Wenjing. "That old man dares to say such things, isn't he afraid of being punished by the Empress Dowager?"
Shen Ruzhi has indeed hit the nail on the head. Tuoba Xiongshi is afraid of Lin Qingshuang, but he will not give up on this matter easily.
After all, no emperor would not want to have a flying weapon. Yu Hai can only stay in Western Xia. If he stays there for too long, he might help Eastern Ling attack Western Xia.
“Your Majesty, even if Mother disagrees with this matter, it is not acceptable. After all, Mother is currently in charge of the martial arts sects, but Father still has the final say on matters of state.”
"Besides, this is for your own good, so how could Mother not agree?"
“They clearly know that Yu Hai and you are in love, yet they still make him serve others. Isn’t that a sign that they don’t respect you?”
"Please stop trying to sow discord between me and Ningning," Shen Ruzhi said disdainfully. "I just don't want to think. I'm not stupid."
“Yu Hai did these things willingly. No one forced him. As long as he was willing, I wouldn’t mind if he had to beg on the street.”
"Stop worrying about things that don't concern you."
“I will talk to the old man about this myself, so don’t bring up my affairs.”
“My dear daughter, you are now the princess of Western Xia, is this alright?” Shen Zhao leaned closer and asked in a low voice. Jiang Wan Ning nodded in agreement, “Uncle is right.”
"Who cares? I just can't stand people doing other things under the guise of doing what's best for me."
"He wanted to keep Yu Hai under control in Western Xia. Given Tuoba Wenjing's warlike nature, he must have done this for the sake of the big wooden bird that Yu Hai invented."
“Only by keeping Yu Hai under control in Xixia can we control you. But I’m afraid Xiao Yu already knows about this, and he won’t let Yu Hai leave easily,” Jiang Wanning whispered to Shen Ruzhi.
"Does that mean Yu Hai is in great danger right now?"
"Oh no, is Song Zhuran faking illness to deal with Yu Hai?" Shen Ruzhi said nervously. "I have to go and see."
“I have already had Mo Ran protect her in secret, and Haitang is also by the Empress’s side.”
"Don't worry," Jiang Wanning said.
Shen Ruzhi finally sat back down and relaxed completely.
On the other end.
Song Zhuran took the Empress's arm and went to the Empress's palace. She sat down in the head seat and said, "Sister, you should rest now."
"Ranran will stay here with you."
"Oh, by the way, Yu Hai is in your palace, right? Let him take your pulse; maybe it'll be the last time," Song Zhuran said with a grin.
Song Zhuyi nervously took two steps back, her hand instinctively reaching for her abdomen. "What do you want to do?"
"What do you mean, what are you doing?" Song Zhuran asked innocently. "Naturally, I'm checking my elder sister's pulse!"
"Don't worry, sister, Ranran won't touch you for now."
"This is my seat." The Empress felt a sense of peace after seeing Haitang's figure flash by outside the courtyard. "If Consort Chun continues to be so unruly..."
"I have no choice but to deal with it according to palace rules."
Song Zhuran rested her chin on her hands, looking at the Empress with a grin, "Sister, what's wrong?"
"Ranran used to sit here too. Don't you love Ranran anymore?"
"Song Zhuran, I don't want to play along with your act. I'll say it one last time."
“Sister, you’re so boring,” Song Zhuran pouted. “But His Majesty isn’t here right now, and he can’t see us.”
“Now I am the most favored person in this harem. Do you think these servants will testify for you? You are such a pathetic empress.”
Song Zhuran looked at Empress Song Zhuyi with a grin, "Sister, if you behave well, we sisters can still be the same as before. If you don't behave, I really don't know what I might do."
"Oh, by the way, given your disobedience in the main hall today, I ordered someone to slip a little something good into our father's wine."
"But don't worry, sister, this thing won't take effect immediately. It will only take effect when Father goes back to sleep with his concubines."
"Ranran did this for her mother. Her mother must be very lonely down there. I even dreamed about her a few days ago, so I asked my father to go down and keep her company."
"Sister, don't worry, there's no cure for this medicine. Even if you go now, it won't help."
"Slap!" Empress Song Zhuyi stepped forward and slapped Song Zhuran hard across the face.
Song Zhuran looked at Empress Song Zhuyi in disbelief, "You actually dared to hit me?"
"You madman!" Empress Song Zhuyi shouted angrily, her hands gripping her sleeves tightly.
