It literally means an imaginary disease, or is it the same as mental illness?
But how could the Queen Mother get this kind of disease...
Seeing how concerned she was, Helan Ruizhe didn't want her to worry anymore. Yuan Jing told him it was serious, but he changed his words: "It's okay, I'm not very clear at the moment. I'll know after I go to the palace tomorrow."
Jin Suting sighed softly, and Helan Ruizhe found it funny. He looked at her and said, "It's obviously my grandma who is sick, why do you look even sadder than me?"
Jin Suting glared at him. Of course he wasn't sad, but he didn't show his emotions outwardly for fear of worrying her. She said, "I'm your future wife, so the mother of the nation is my grandmother. My grandmother is sick, and that kind of illness. How can I not be worried?"
"But don't be too sad. I heard that this disease can be cured."
Seeing that Helan Ruizhe didn't look very happy, she added.
"Okay." Helan Ruizhe pinched her face and tried to give her a smile. "I'm fine, really. It's just that I have to review a lot of memorials for the Queen Mother tomorrow. When I think about it, I feel so sad."
He deliberately pretended to cover his face and cry, which made Jin Suting laugh, "You are so pretentious!"
"How am I being pretentious?"
"Don't cover your face!"
"I was so upset that I couldn't even cover my face."
"Helan Ruizhe, you..."
In fact, when your significant other is by your side, it seems like even when you are facing a very bad thing, it doesn’t seem so depressing because there are two people to share the sadness with.
——
The next day, gold, jade and silk.
Yu Niang opened the shop as usual, cleaned the store, replaced the clothes hanging on the wall, and then sat at the counter, doing the math and drawing designs for the clothes.
When Yu Seung-ho walked into the store, Yu Niang was drinking a bowl of freshly brewed red bean and barley tea. The tea was still very hot, so she blew on it gently, waiting for it to cool down.
She looked up and saw that it was a man's robe. She lowered her eyebrows and blew on her red bean and barley tea, saying, "Sir, our shop doesn't serve men. Please go back."
Yu Seung-ho didn't leave, and said lightly: "I don't make clothes."
"Then there's no need to keep you here, young master. It seems you're curious about our shop and came in to take a look, but we don't accept visitors. If you have nothing to do, just go." Yu Niang still didn't even raise her eyes, which was enough to show how much she disliked men.
And this young man who didn't make clothes or look around the shop still didn't leave. Instead, he walked up to Yu Niang and chuckled: "Boss, why are you in such a hurry to send me away? I came here to talk to you about something."
"There's nothing Yu Niang can't help with." Yu Niang finally looked up at the person who came. At first glance, he seemed familiar. After a second glance, she finally remembered who it was. "Is it you?"
Among the few men she had contact with since the opening of her shop, this male customer left the deepest impression on her.
"What's the matter?" Yu Niang finally put down the red bean and barley tea and looked carefully at the man in front of her.
Yoo Seung-ho didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Perhaps you would like to go to the palace?"
Yu Niang looked at Yu Chenghao with an inquiring eye, wondering if this boy had lost his mind. She said, "What nonsense are you talking about, sir? Commoners like us cannot enter the palace at will."
"You don't even want to go to the palace to see your own daughter?" Yu Seung-ho asked in a tentative tone.
Yu Niang's heart skipped a beat, and she stared at Yu Chenghao with a vigilant look. Then she laughed as if she had heard a huge joke. She was out of breath: "Sir, what are you joking about? My husband died early, but he never gave birth to a daughter. How could I have a daughter who is still in the palace? You are going to make me laugh to death~"
"Really?" Yu Chenghao didn't respond, only saying, "Bai Ruqing was born in the second year of Qinyuan. Both her parents died. She was sold into a brothel at the age of fourteen. At the age of sixteen, she gave birth to a daughter named Lanlan. At the age of twenty-seven, she married a well-known wealthy man in Funing City and lived in the suburbs of Funing City. Three years later, the wealthy man died under mysterious circumstances. His wife returned to Funing City with her inheritance and opened a silk shop, using the pseudonym Yu Niang."
What he said first were all detailed evidences that he had people investigate, and the second half was his bold guess based on trivial details. If she was really the Bai Ruqing he mentioned, then everything was connected.
"Bai Ruqing?" Yu Niang seemed to have heard a huge joke. "Who is this? I have never heard of this name. Sir, have you found the wrong person? Perhaps the Miss Bai you are looking for is the owner of the silk shop across the street?"
Could it be that he really guessed wrong? What the hell, Yu Chenghao decided to test it one last time. He said, "On the sixth day of next month, Helan Minzhi will go to Simu Kingdom to marry. She knows her mother is not dead, and she just wants to see her mother one last time."
Damn it, didn’t he deliberately spread rumors that she was dead before leaving?
It's really worrying. There are tears in Yu Niang's eyes. It's not that she doesn't want to enter the palace, she just doesn't dare.
"Then go find her mother." Yu Niang said expressionlessly, "Come find me, I don't know her mother."
"Okay," Yu Seung-ho had no choice but to use his trump card, "You don't know her mother, but do you know Helan Jun?"
"Helan County?" Yu Niang's eyes were calm. "I don't know him."
Yu Chenghao was speechless. He was almost certain that the woman in front of him was Helan Minzhi's biological mother, Bai Ruqing. However, he refused to listen to her soft words and hard words. "Stop pretending. You've already revealed your flaws."
Yu Niang looked at him with questioning eyes, but she was actually in a panic.
What's wrong with this guy? Lanlan's affairs have nothing to do with him. He is meddling in other people's business!
"Helan Jun, the son of the current Queen Mother, and the biological father of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Yu Seung-ho said word by word, "There are many people who have never seen him, but there is absolutely no one who doesn't know him."
