Tang Chen nodded slightly, agreeing with her. She knew that no matter how healthy a child was, they'd always get a few minor illnesses at this age. But, "After all, children are young, and their immunity is still a bit weak. Let's take them out more often to get some sun and exercise. Don't worry about getting a tan. As long as they're healthy, it'll give us parents, and you wet nurses, less to worry about."
"Yes," the nurse said, then she suddenly remembered that there was something she hadn't told Tang Chen: "Oh, when the Madam was away during the day, the Prince sent someone to say that the Second Madam was on her way and would be back in a month at most."
This news was the best Tang Chen had heard recently. "Great! She's finally back. She wrote earlier that she's pregnant again. Tell someone to clean up her yard and buy some herbs from Doctor Chen for emergency use. As for the delivery, I remember Mammy is a well-known midwife in Qingliang Valley. I'll have to trouble you again."
Seeing Tang Chen being so polite, the wet nurse was not mentally prepared and said a little embarrassedly: "Madam, you are too polite. This is all our job!"
From her interactions with the two wet nurses during this time, Tang Chen couldn't help but admire Wang Yanzhou's judgment of people. Now that she had trust in them, she had to give them an answer to the matter the wet nurse had mentioned casually, which had been off for so many days: "I remember you mentioned to me earlier that you wanted your son to come and help, right?"
Upon hearing this, the wet nurse hurriedly said, "Madam, I also know that the palace does not intend to employ outsiders right now. I was inconsiderate."
Tang Chen smiled and said, "You are half Shuang'er's mother, and you still say that outsiders are not outsiders. You have been staying at home all this time and have no time to go home and spend time with your son. I also have a bad memory and forgot about it. After you came to tell me, I asked Wang Qin to investigate him. Unexpectedly, the military camp is quite fond of him. I just don't know what you think?"
"this……"
Tang Chen knew that life in the military camp wasn't as safe and easy as in the palace, but her son was truly suited to staying there. His talent would be wasted in the palace. However, since it was a high-risk job, she had to ask his family for their opinion. "I'm also concerned that there are still risks involved in any job in the military camp. So, no matter how much I want to keep him, I have to ask for your opinion."
What surprised Tang Chen was that the wet nurse's reaction was very different from what she had imagined: "Madam, if my son can stay and serve the prince, then I will be 100% relieved. Now is the time for a man to establish his career. I would rather my son die on the battlefield than live as a turtle. I discussed this with him before because I saw that there was no doctor in the mansion who could serve for a long time. Now that the prince is willing to keep him, I naturally have no objection!"
Tang Chen could tell the woman in front of him was genuinely happy, unable to hide her joy. This made her a little embarrassed, and after thinking about it, she still didn't know how to express her gratitude: "...Thank you, really."
That night, whether it was telepathy or coincidence, Tang Chen was so anxious that he couldn't fall asleep. Wang Yanzhou, who was sleeping soundly in his room, suddenly opened his eyes, sat up abruptly, took out a square handkerchief from under the pillow, lowered his head and started coughing.
You don't need to look, just from the fishy-sweet taste in your mouth and the pain in your throat that makes it almost impossible to speak or make a sound, you can tell that Wang Yanzhou is coughing up blood again.
Wang Yanzhou had originally thought of lighting a lamp and finding a brazier to burn the blood-stained handkerchief. However, after he groped in the dark and lit the lamp, he strained his eyes to see the candlelight, which seemed a thousand miles away and unrecognizable. Panic-stricken, Wang Yanzhou quickly raised his hand and waved it before his eyes, only to find that he couldn't even see his palm clearly.
Wang Yanzhou sat slumped on the edge of the bed for a while, and after the haziness in his eyes gradually dissipated, he looked at the blood-stained hand puppet in his hand and said helplessly to himself, "...It seems that time is running out. I have to find a way to finish the important things at hand."
After Wang Yanzhou quietly packed up his things in the dead of night, he looked at the white line in the distant mountains and couldn't help but beat his chest and stamped his feet and said, "Achen, Achen, if I lied to you, please don't blame me. I was also doing this for your own good!"
...When Wang Yanzhou finished breakfast and went to the study to work, Wang Nianqing was already in the room reading the secret letter on the table.
Hearing familiar footsteps, Wang Nianqing was about to tease Wang Yanzhou for arriving even later than him. But when he turned around and saw Wang Yanzhou's pale face and dark blue eyes, he froze. "...My God, were you a thief last night, or did you pick a fight? You look so pale, and your eyes are all black."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yanzhou rubbed his eyes gently, then yawned loudly as if he hadn't slept well. He explained, "It's nothing. I've been under a lot of pressure lately and didn't sleep well last night. Just ask someone to get me two doses of tranquilizers later."
Wang Nianqing said that she had never seen him look so haggard even after staying up late before. Could he be exhausted? "Are you really okay?"
Wang Yanzhou smiled and said, "It's really alright, Master Shadow, don't worry. How dare I lie to you?"
After saying this, Wang Yanzhou stretched his muscles and prepared to start working. He had been resting well recently, without having to think about going to war with Shi Zairong's army; he only needed to recuperate while carrying out every move of Qinghe County. "How are you doing with the task I asked you to do earlier?"
Wang Nianqing was slightly stunned. At first glance, Wang Nianqing had a lot of things on her plate, so she wasn't sure what he was asking about. "Which one are you talking about?"
Wang Yanzhou reminded: "Those things I did for Yaochen."
Wang Nianqing quickly thought about it in her mind and replied, "It's not over yet. Why are you asking about it today?"
Wang Yanzhou went on to explain, "There's no particular reason. I just thought that since Yaochen is already on his way to Qingliang Valley, it's time to prepare for him. If we prepare early, we can focus on the things at hand. Besides, now that we finally have some free time, we can start to take care of Yaochen's affairs. After that, we have to clear Shuyang's grievances."
