Chapter 430 Madam is also doing this for the good of the Marquis
Xin An was gently pushed awake by Wang from his sleep. He was still startled the moment he opened his eyes. He looked towards the window with empty eyes and got up after making sure it was not dawn. "Why is mother here at this time?"
Wang lowered her voice and said, "I came here to tell you that the matter of the child cannot be delayed. Tomorrow when we enter the city, you will send someone to bring the second child back home. You and your wife should hurry up and deal with this matter."
Xin An shuddered, and the sleepiness disappeared. "Did father know?"
"He received news from the palace staff that the princess had lost her son. The child didn't look like he came from an ordinary family, so he naturally had doubts. This matter should be dealt with as soon as possible."
Xin An nodded, and Wang quickly returned to the room. Seeing Tang Gang still lying there, she quietly lay down beside him.
The night wind blew in from the window. Tang Gang, who felt cold in his sleep, subconsciously pulled the quilt to cover himself. After a while, Wang opened it again, and the cycle repeated over and over again. If she hadn't been worried about the excessive movement, she would have wanted to cover his chest with a cold handkerchief.
The result of a night of hard work was that Tang Gang started coughing and felt sore all over the next morning when he woke up. Wang was also in low spirits and muttered, "I was fine on the way, why do I feel so tired when I get here?"
Seeing that she had swollen eyelids and looked haggard, Tang Gang did not think much about it and simply attributed her discomfort to the long journey.
Wang Shi saw that Tang Gang was still energetic, so she asked, "Did the Marquis go directly to the palace after entering the city?"
"If that's the case, I'll have to ask the court doctor to come and prepare medicine. I don't know if I'll pass on my illness to the emperor if I keep coughing in front of him, but it will definitely be disrespectful in front of the emperor."
Tang Gang waved his hand, "It's only a short distance to return to the capital, let's go back home first."
It's good that he is sick. Even if he is sick, he can still gain the reputation of being diligent in front of the emperor. As long as he can stop coughing after returning home, it will be enough. Dragging his sick body into the palace will show his loyalty.
Wang lowered her eyes, moved them slightly and said nothing more.
As Tang Gang was anxious to return home, the group set out for the city without delay. Wang went to the old lady in person to explain that Tang Gang was ill and was anxious to go to the palace to report, so they had to walk faster for the next few miles.
The old lady was well taken care of along the way, and her appetite and spirits were good. "The road to the capital is also flat, so we can just go back to the capital."
"As for me, don't worry. It's not far from here to Cihang Temple. I'll stay in the temple for two days. We agreed on this last year."
Wang left someone to serve her and let her live in the temple with peace of mind. "I will ask the second son to pick you up in two days. The second son's wife will go back with me to take care of the affairs in the mansion. I'm afraid there will be a lot of things to take care of in two months' absence."
After settling the old lady down, the group set off. Wang ordered the carriage to run very fast for the five or six miles. She herself could not bear it, but Tang Gang, who was already sore all over, could not bear it even more. The wind blowing into the carriage made Tang Gang feel even more painful.
When they arrived at the city gate, Tang Gang's face had lost all color and he was leaning sideways with no energy. He reached out and touched Wang, and breathed a sigh of relief, because she had caught fire.
very good.
When Xin An got the news, he felt that the disease had come at the right time, so he immediately sent someone to ask Tang Mo to return home. He couldn't not report to the emperor just because Tang Gang was sick, so Tang Mo had to do such an important task.
After returning to the mansion, Tang Gang still wanted to persist. The mansion doctor gave Tang Gang a shot at Wang's eyes and he fell asleep. "My Lord has been feeling unwell since the beginning of the Huai River, and he was exhausted from the long journey back home. He was taking medicine to suppress his condition on the way. Now that he is back home, he should let the disease go out and take good care of himself. I estimate that he will be back to normal in a month."
The Marquis' Mansion convinced me that it was just to let the Marquis sleep for a while, which was also for the good of the Marquis' health.
Besides, the lady gave too much.
Madam is also doing this for the Marquis’s own good.
Tang Mo, who returned home, soon learned the inside story. He looked at Liu Sheng as if he was looking at some treasure, "How come my brother-in-law is so good at picking up things? He picked up such a treasure as soon as he made a move."
"Does he often pick up things when he goes out?"
Xin An said that it was normal to encounter something when going out, and it was not the first time he picked up someone, it was just a convenient thing to do.
"Don't worry about it, just take us into the palace now."
Tang Mo nodded and asked Xin An to change his clothes. He had to follow the rules in front of the emperor at all times. "Give this kid a wash as well. Send someone to buy him a set of clothes immediately."
"I have already given orders."
Wang came slowly. As soon as she entered the room, she learned that Tao Yiran had given birth. Seeing that the weak girl had given birth to a son weighing 7.5 kilograms, it was reasonable for her, as the mother-in-law, to visit her first.
He said to Tang Mo, "Your father has a high fever. The court doctor has already diagnosed him. As a son, you should share his worries and let him have a good rest. The emperor is probably still waiting for a reply, so don't delay."
Tang Mo cupped his hands, "Son knows."
Not knowing the inside story, he just thought it was God's help.
Half an hour later, Tang Mo took Xin An out. When they arrived at the palace gate, he went in first. When he learned that Tang Gang fell ill after returning home, the emperor expressed his appreciation for him and affirmed his hard work.
"Has the donation been sent to the Ministry of Revenue?"
Tang Mo said that it was at the palace gate, and it was up to the emperor to decide where to send it.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The emperor was very satisfied and ordered his men to deliver the donations directly to the palace. The issue of the treasury's debt naturally affected the Ministry of Revenue, and a group of officials who had embezzled money were held accountable. The people in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and the treasury had just taken office, so the emperor did not dare to give the money to them.
"Your father-in-law has been of great help this time."
Tang Mo cupped his hands, "I feel extremely honored to have the opportunity to help the Emperor."
Following this, Tang Mo told the story of his father-in-law picking up a child. "From the child's words and the words of my wife's aunt, I have determined that the child is the one the emperor is looking for. However, none of us have seen Princess Yong'an's child. Please tell me if you want to see him."
"Bring it in."
The emperor was surprised, excited and nervous, but he concealed these emotions well.
After an incense stick of time, Eunuch Zhao beside the emperor ran to Xin An and said, "Greetings to the Second Young Master's Madam. The Emperor is waiting for you in the Imperial Study. Please come in quickly."
His eyes fell on Liu Sheng, who was being led by Xin An, and his eyes were full of surprise. "Yes, this is the young master. The last time the young master returned to the capital with the princess was three years ago, and he looked like this."
As he spoke, he wiped the dark circles under his eyes with his sleeve. Xin An admired his acting skills very much. It must be extraordinary for someone to be the emperor's confidant.
"Second Young Master Madam has had a hard time along the way."
"I was traveling with so many people, so I wasn't too tired. I didn't expect so many things to happen in Beijing after I left for just over two months. My father-in-law must be tired these days."
Xin An followed him on the way to the imperial study, still holding Liu Sheng's hand. She could clearly feel that Liu Sheng was a little nervous.
Eunuch Zhao sighed, "We serve the emperor. The emperor is worried about the princess and the young master, and can't sleep well every night. Now that the young master has returned safely, the emperor will be much more relieved. If the emperor is happy, we have nothing else to ask for."
"Your Majesty is a wise ruler of the time, and with the help of God, what you ask for will surely be granted."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, neither of them spoke anymore. Xin An smiled at Liu Sheng, squeezed his chubby hand, and after a while they smoothly reached the imperial study.
