As long as Su Ruojin doesn't go out and wander around, it's fine.
As Granny Kong went out, she glanced at the two palace maids guarding the door. The maids nodded to Granny Kong, then closed the door and stood motionless at the entrance.
Yanluo asked, somewhat puzzled, "Miss, the Second Prince is all better now, why haven't you left yet?"
Su Ruojin took a sip of tea and said, "Since the Second Prince wants me to stay, he must have his reasons. I'll just wait."
Su Ruojin didn't tell Yanluo that her right eyelid had been twitching ever since she entered the palace, and she always felt that something was going to happen in the palace today.
Yun Hao is Xiao Yanchu's junior brother, and she was a little worried about him, so she decided to stay and check on him.
I hope it's just my overthinking.
Yun Hao arrived at Empress Sun's palace, knelt down and bowed, "Your subject greets Your Majesty."
"Hao'er, get up quickly. You've just recovered, no need for such formalities, Granny Kong," Empress Sun said with a smile.
Granny Kong rushed over and helped Yun Hao up.
"Hao'er, sit down. Your mother has something for you to do, which is a great thing for you."
Great news?
Yun Hao's mind raced. The only thing that could be associated with good news was his marriage to Jia Yingying, but Empress Sun had already mentioned it before, and the tone of her voice now didn't seem to refer to that.
If it weren't for this incident, how could Empress Sun have gotten any good things for him instead of the eldest prince? It's simply impossible.
Yun Hao's mind raced with thoughts, but his expression remained calm as he readily sat down, saying, "Your subject will obey Your Majesty's orders."
"Your mother has a chance to make a contribution. After this, Hao'er will surely be looked at differently by your father."
Yun Hao's face showed a look of surprise at the right moment, as if he was looking at Empress Sun with great anticipation.
Empress Sun was very satisfied with Yun Hao's performance and waved her hand to dismiss those around her, saying, "You may all leave."
"Yes." The palace servants all withdrew, leaving only Empress Sun, Yun Hao, and Granny Kong in the room.
"Hao'er, do you know why your father's health suddenly improved?"
Yun Hao said sincerely, "As far as I know, Father Emperor had this miraculous effect because he took the elixir offered by my third brother."
Empress Sun scoffed, "Hao'er, what if I told you that the pills your third brother gave to your father were actually poison?"
Yun Hao's expression changed drastically, and his voice trembled slightly, "Mother, this..."
When Empress Sun saw Yun Hao's frightened expression, she inwardly mocked him, thinking, "He's indeed a good-for-nothing who can't be brought to the table. He wears his emotions on his sleeve over such a small matter."
"Your mother summoned you here today to tell you the truth behind this. As long as you expose Yun Shao's evil deeds to your father and save his life, why should he not treat you differently?"
After Empress Sun finished speaking, she looked at Yun Hao, trying to glean something from his expression.
Yun Hao was stunned at first, then an overwhelming joy welled up in his eyes. "Mother, are you telling the truth?"
Empress Sun looked at Yun Hao's reaction and smiled with satisfaction.
He really is a shallow person.
But this is good, so I can be a good dog to my godfather.
"It is true, when has the Empress ever lied to you? The medicine that the Third Prince gave the Emperor was a divine pill made by the Taoist Master Tianyi. It was actually made from the blood of young boys and girls. When you take it, you will feel that you have regained your vitality, but once you stop taking it, you will age rapidly and die faster."
Upon hearing this, Yun Hao hesitated. "Mother, since you already know about this, why didn't you tell Father earlier?"
