"Thirteen was just mentioning that you were the one who took care of him when he was still a prince," Yinzhen said with a smile.
Qian Shengyan continued to laugh awkwardly.
He even sent her to take care of her... wasn't that what he allowed?
She had no choice but to make conversation: "I didn't see the Princess Consort on New Year's Eve this year. Are the Princess Consort and the children all well?"
"Everything is fine in the manor, thank you for your concern, Imperial Noble Consort," Thirteen said with a smile.
Qian Shengyan glanced at Yinzhen, who was watching them with a light laugh, and continued racking her brains to find a topic: "The last time I saw the Princess Consort, she mentioned that Prince Yi's old leg ailment still flares up in the winter..."
"I am much better now, thank you for your concern, Imperial Noble Consort."
But as soon as Thirteen finished speaking, Yinzhen suddenly stood up: "Your leg ailment is still not healed? Why didn't you say so?"
"Your Majesty, my leg is much better..." Before Prince Yi could finish speaking, Qian Shengyan quickly said, "It is said that winter diseases can be treated in summer. Now that the weather is warmer, Your Majesty might as well send a few imperial physicians with appropriate ailments to Prince Yi for a proper examination."
"Very well, Su Peisheng!"
Yinzhen, being an impatient person, had to finish what he was going to do immediately. He insisted on having the thirteenth prince take his pulse, along with Imperial Physician Liu and two other physicians familiar with bone diseases. Then, Imperial Physician Liu instructed the thirteenth prince to receive acupuncture and soak in medicinal soup every day without interruption.
"Then stay overnight at Yuanmingyuan, which will also make it convenient for your medical practice." Yinzhen's words were law, and Thirteen had no choice but to thank him.
Su Peisheng quickly made arrangements: "Then Prince Yi should stay in Xiuqing Village. It's a newly built garden there, and it's far from the residences of the empresses and concubines."
"The one in the southeast corner, right? Good, it'll be convenient to come and go." Yinzhen nodded, and then instructed the imperial physician to remember to give the thirteenth prince acupuncture every day. Considering that Imperial Physician Li could not leave the emperor and the empress's side, he specially assigned an imperial physician surnamed Yu, so that he would not have to report to the Imperial Hospital and could just focus on treating the thirteenth prince.
Thirteen left with profuse thanks. Qian Shengyan glanced at his retreating figure, hoping that early intervention and serious treatment would allow Thirteen to live a few more years.
Spend more time with his emperor brother.
"Will you have dinner here with me?" Yinzhen asked.
Qian Shengyan looked at him with some surprise: "Hasn't everything been resolved? Why isn't the Emperor returning to Jiuzhou Qingyan?"
When she said this, Yinzhen couldn't help but laugh: "What we're dealing with is the rumors. The epidemic hasn't subsided yet. I need to think of some solutions. We'll discuss it with them again tomorrow."
"When will that be?" Qian Shengyan frowned, glancing at the already dim sky outside, then at Yinzhen who was rubbing his forehead. She couldn't help but step forward and give him a set of eye exercises, saying, "Your Majesty should also take care of your health. Sitting and reading all the time is bad for your eyes! From now on, you should get up and walk around every half hour and look outside."
Yinzhen felt comfortable being massaged by her, and could only smile helplessly, "Half an hour?"
"It can't be later than an hour. How about this, let Su Peisheng come and change His Majesty's tea every hour, so that the tea doesn't get cold and upset his stomach," Qian Shengyan said, frowning.
Yinzhen chuckled and patted the back of her hand: "Okay, whatever you say. This massage feels quite comfortable."
That night, Qian Shengyan stayed up late with Yinzhen in the Qin Zheng Hall. She racked her brains to recall the methods of treating and preventing epidemics in her previous life, such as boiling water and burning the clothes and belongings of people who had been infected to prevent the spread of the disease. By this time, there was already a relevant system in place. Qian Shengyan worked hard for half the night, but she was not of much help.
But for Yinzhen, it was enough.
After finishing the epidemic prevention regulations, Qian Shengyan ordered a bowl of thin noodles for a late-night snack. After eating, the two walked hand in hand from Qinzheng Hall to Jiuzhou Qingyan.
In fact, Qian Shengyan remembered that there would be outbreaks of the epidemic in various places in the next two years, and the people would suffer and complain. As she walked, she subtly comforted Yinzhen, saying that even if something was really bad, it was a natural disaster or man-made disaster, and the emperor could not be blamed.
"Even silver has its share of dislike. Those scholars say they regard money as dirt, yet some people think such a valuable thing is worthless," Qian Shengyan said, pursing her lips.
Yinzhen chuckled: "The integrity of a scholar should be like this too."
“When even a hero is brought down by a single penny, they want to be worthless.” Qian Shengyan shook off Yinzhen’s hand and walked step by step along the lake. “Your Majesty should just focus on doing your own thing, and be worthy of heaven and earth, and worthy of the late Emperor’s entrustment.”
Only then did Yinzhen realize that she was subtly trying to persuade him. He couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart and squeezed the small hand in his palm tighter: "Okay." He paused for a moment, then added, "I will definitely try my best."
"Your Majesty is a good emperor, but you must take care of your health." Qian Shengyan quickly advised, and even inadvertently revealed her true feelings, "If Your Majesty can rule for a few more years, it will be the best thing for future generations."
After saying that, she realized she had misspoke and looked at Yinzhen somewhat nervously. Yinzhen laughed and shook off her hand again.
His gaze was incredibly gentle, and his voice was equally tender: "Alright. For Yan Yan's sake, I will live a few more years."
"Your Majesty!" Qian Shengyan stamped her foot, and Yinzhen laughed. The next moment, he grabbed Qian Shengyan and suddenly ran out.
Su Peisheng and Qingxue hurriedly followed behind the two, but Qingxue was caught off guard and almost tripped over something under her feet. Fortunately, Su Peisheng caught her by the waist and prevented her from falling to the ground.
Qingxue: "...Thank you, Su Anda."
"No need to be so polite." Su Peisheng smiled and released his hand, glancing at the Emperor and Consort who were walking faster and faster, and lowered his voice, "You're blaming me today, aren't you?"
Qingxue didn't answer, but only glanced at him sideways.
Su Peisheng laughed: "You heard how angry the Emperor was at the time. Apart from the Imperial Noble Consort, who else could have persuaded him?"
