Yu Ying had only heard about the conflicts between the mother and son, but she didn't know much about them, because Hongli never told her about those things. She had wanted to act as a peacemaker, but judging from Hongli's attitude, there seemed to be no room for negotiation.
Yu Ying felt a pang of melancholy. "What does the Fourth Prince intend to do? It's not a solution to keep going on like this with Consort Xi."
Many things in this world are unexpected. Hongli had already seen through his mother's thoughts and no longer wanted to coax her; he could only adapt to the situation.
"Father has already made his stance clear, does she dare to go against him?"
Yu Ying wanted to persuade him further, but Hongli interrupted her, "Are you here to take care of me, or to disturb me? Can't you let the patient rest in peace for a while?"
His tone was always so sharp that Yu Ying was speechless, secretly regretting that she had agreed to enter the palace with Consort Xi and ended up being disliked. What a waste!
She couldn't help but wonder, if Su Yushan were here, Hongli certainly wouldn't find her talkative and would discuss things with her gently, right? But when it was her, he lost his patience.
They stood back to back, only three inches apart, yet it felt like an ocean separated them. Sharing a pillow but not their hearts, how tragic!
Meanwhile, Su Yushan couldn't wait to visit her child after returning home.
According to the nanny, the baby cried for a while last night, even though he had eaten and slept well. Later, the nanny took the baby to her room and put him in the cradle. Amazingly, the little prince stopped crying as soon as he got to the room and lay there quietly, being extremely well-behaved.
The nanny thought the child missed his mother. Su Yushan understood, of course. Such a young child didn't understand how to miss an adult and could only rely on his sense of smell to distinguish. He was probably familiar with the scent of her room, which was why he would quiet down when he came here.
With the child safe and sound, Su Yushan was relieved. She held the child for a while before handing him over to the nanny.
Changyue prepared water for her mistress to bathe, while Yunfang looked around anxiously.
Seeing this, Su Yushan covered her mouth and laughed, "Don't look, Li Yu hasn't come back yet, he's serving the Fourth Prince in the palace!"
Yunfang's eyes flickered, and she immediately retorted, "Who was looking at him? I'm just wondering why Demin came back with us. Isn't he Fourth Master's bodyguard?"
"Fearing something might happen, Fourth Master sent him back to the mansion to guard Huatang Pavilion."
Upon learning the truth, Yunfang smiled knowingly, "Fourth Master really cares for you! Even when he's not here, he still assigns you his personal bodyguard."
Hongli treated her very well. Now, when she thinks of him, Su Yushan's heart is filled with sweetness. While feeling happy, she is also worried about Hongli's condition. She only hopes that his fever will subside as soon as possible and that it will not relapse. She is determined to get through this ordeal.
She's not by his side right now, and she longs to do something for him, but she doesn't know how to make him happy. He seems to lack nothing! Sigh! How melancholy!
After racking her brains for a while, Su Yushan recalled a scene and suddenly had an idea.
