Chapter 319 I Don’t Say Hello
While they were chatting, Yunshan knocked on the door and came in, pouring a cup of freshly brewed hot tea for Xiao Jingyan and Song Zhao.
Song Zhao smelled the scent, which was the clear fragrance of plum blossoms.
Yunshan smiled and said, "This is the new tea that Sister Tong asked His Royal Highness Prince An to send to Miss. The plum blossoms in the Plum Garden are blooming in winter. The red plum blossoms are festive. Drinking it as tea can also regulate the spleen and stomach, regulate qi and relieve depression. It is perfect for Miss to use now."
Song Zhao picked up the teacup and let the hot steam hit her face.
She lowered her eyes to look at the plum blossoms covering the tea, and she understood in her heart what Rong Yue wanted to say to her.
The quality of plum blossoms is that they are indomitable in cruel environments. Even in the face of numerous hardships, they can remain fearless and live towards death.
Song Zhao took a breath and looked outside the open door, at the high and dilapidated palace walls.
Although it is extremely difficult to see out, there is always light, shining in from countless tiny gaps, converging together to pave a gorgeous and beautiful road.
She looked at it like this,
My heart was settled at that moment.
She looked at Jamel Xiao and said firmly:
"Of course I will go out, and I will step by step walk back to the emperor to repay his great kindness to me."
Jamel Xiao looked at her with some relief.
"It's OK once you figure it out."
Yunshan has always been very well-behaved. She should have left after refilling the tea, but she did the opposite and stood blankly beside the two of them, pursing her lips, with a look of worry on her face.
Song Zhao immediately understood what Yunshan was thinking about, so he asked Xiao Jingyan,
"I have to trouble you with one more thing. Xiao Fuzi in my palace has always been loyal to me. He was seriously injured while protecting Cheng Yu. Although he has recovered now, he has no one to rely on since I have fallen into such a state. If it is convenient for you, please help him. Don't let him be harmed by others because of his service to me."
Xiao Jingyan said, "You don't have to worry about this. Rong'er and you are in tune with each other, and she knows that the only ones who serve you most loyally are Yunshan and Xiao Fuzi. So after you got into trouble, Rong'er asked the emperor for Xiao Fuzi on the grounds that she is a concubine but there is no eunuch serving in the palace. When he recovers from his injury, he will stay by Rong'er's side."
This method has the best of both worlds.
First, Rongyue can protect Xiao Fuzi.
Secondly, Xiao Fuzi is smart and can help Rongyue.
Yunshan was extremely delighted after hearing what Xiao Jingyan said, and said repeatedly:
"Thank you, my lord, and thank you, Miss Tong!"
After saying this, she quickly raised her sleeve to wipe away her tears, fearing that her tears would break the rules in front of her master.
"The prince sent some charcoal. I'll go pick it up and warm it up for the young lady~"
After she left, Xiao Jingyan raised his eyebrows slightly towards her back and joked with Song Zhao:
"Are there any problems with them?"
Song Zhao smiled but did not answer. Instead, he asked Xiao Jingyan,
"I have never understood what is going on between you and Sister Rong. No one knows your true identity. Even if you are a noble prince, if you and Sister Rong are in love, and you ask Xiao Jingheng to marry you, how could he not agree to your proposal? Why didn't you even mention it and let Sister Rong enter the palace?"
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Xiao Jingyan's face immediately stopped.
There was a flash of obvious loneliness in his eyes, and his face turned gray for a moment.
“Many things cannot be achieved just by hard work. Nor can I achieve my wish just by doing it.”
He obviously didn't want to talk about this matter any more. After a moment of silence, he quickly calmed down and changed the subject:
"I also brought a lot of medicines for treating various diseases and gave them to your maid to keep well, so that you two won't get sick in the cold palace, which would be hard to bear. If you need anything in your daily life, tell Qin Tai in private.
Rong'er and I will be waiting for you outside. So will your son."
When mentioning Cheng Yu, Song Zhao still felt sad for a moment.
"Please take good care of Chengyu for me."
"He is my eldest nephew, of course I will take good care of him." Xiao Jingyan smiled and joked, and then said:
"I will go to Jiangnan at the end of the month. I originally thought that after I left, Rong'er would be the only one to take care of you. She is just a maid, and there will always be shortages in daily expenses. It is inevitable that she cannot take good care of you. But I just heard that you are close to the imperial concubine, so I can go with more peace of mind."
"You're going to Jiangnan at this time?" Song Zhao's heart ached. "After the flood, an epidemic broke out in Jiangnan. I heard that this epidemic is very serious, with a large number of people infected and the course of the disease is very dangerous. Why are you going?"
She slowed down for a moment, then quickly asked, "Did Jamel Xiao ask you to go?"
Xiao Jingyan smiled and said, "The people of Jiangnan are complaining. It is one thing to provide disaster relief and cure diseases at this time, but to stabilize the country and appease the people's grievances, the emperor must go to Jiangnan and share the joys and sorrows with the people.
On the surface, I am Xiao Jingheng's most trusted younger brother. This matter must be done by me, in order to achieve the best results. And I don't have military power, so if he can see my loyalty this time, he won't be afraid of me. "
After saying that, he realized that it was inappropriate, and added with self-mockery, "Not for the time being."
Speaking of the epidemic, Song Zhao thought of someone.
"I was infected with the plague that year, and many doctors in Kyoto were helpless. But there was a doctor named Zhang Hangche, who was originally a wandering doctor. By chance, he came to the mansion to treat me. Because he cured my plague, he was hired by the family.
I heard that his ancestors had a prescription that could cure various diseases, and he used that prescription to cure me, so maybe he could be used? And this man and I have some connections, Xiao Fuzi is his younger brother, and he used to be a foreign doctor in the Huguogong Mansion. The court has no records, and no one knows the relationship between him, me, and Xiao Fuzi. If you can find him and bring him to Jiangnan, he can also protect you."
Jamel Xiao didn't know whether he had heard her concern or not, and he said perfunctorily, "I know."
He patted Song Zhao's shoulder and said, "It's inconvenient for me to stay here any longer. Please take care of yourself. I'm leaving first."
Before he turned around and took a step, Song Zhao hurriedly called him.
"Hello......"
There was a word stuck in my throat that I couldn't utter, so I could only say it timidly:
"You...be careful."
Jamel Xiao looked back at her and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"I'm not saying hi!"
"oh......"
"Huh..." Xiao Jingyan shrugged helplessly and sighed, then turned around and waved his hand.
"That's all, let's go~"
"Hey!" Song Zhao called him again, but this time his tone was suddenly higher.
“What are you doing again!?” Xiao Jingyan turned back angrily, his face full of impatience.
But Song Zhao looked at him with clear eyes, smiled and murmured quietly:
"Thank you, brother."
