As they boarded the carriage back to the General's Mansion, Su Ruojin asked, "Yanluo, did you see her?"
Yanluo nodded. "Xiaojin, it looks like a servant in the manor has died. Cover him with a cloth and carry him out."
"Um."
Su Ruojin recalled the maid who had been dragged away from the pavilion earlier.
Is it really such a coincidence?
First came the unruly maid, then came the dead being carried out.
Xiao Yanchu had told her that his elder sister was a kind and compassionate person who never mistreated her servants.
In the Great Chu, even servants could not be easily killed by their masters unless they committed a serious crime.
Of course, this rule is practically meaningless to some powerful and wealthy families.
The government wouldn't risk offending powerful figures for the sake of a servant; this was an unspoken understanding.
However, these are not the main points.
Su Ruojin frowned slightly as she recalled the princess's pulse.
Yanluo naturally noticed that something was wrong with her young mistress. From what Su Ruojin had said to the princess earlier, Yanluo knew that there was something wrong with the princess's illness.
When my daughter sees a doctor, she's always straightforward and to the point. If it's curable, it's curable; if it's not curable, it's not curable. She never utters those rambling platitudes like "we'll see how it goes after she takes the medicine."
Why did Miss say that to the Princess today?
"Miss, is there something wrong with the Princess's illness?" Yanluo couldn't help but ask.
Su Ruojin didn't answer her question, but instead said to the coachman, "To the Regent's Palace."
"Yes, Miss."
The car soon arrived at the Regent's Palace. The prince had not yet returned from the palace, so Su Ruojin went to see Xiao Bao first, checked his homework, and waited for Xiao Yanchu to return.
When Xiao Yanchu returned to the mansion, it was already lunchtime. When Steward Zhang heard that Su Ruojin had come to the mansion to see the prince, he had the foresight to prepare Su Ruojin's favorite dishes in advance, so that the prince could have a meal when he returned.
With Su Ruojin around, Xiao Bao naturally wanted to stay by her side.
Xiao Yanchu found this kid increasingly annoying.
But I'm going to marry Ah Jin soon, so I can just be patient a little longer.
If Yi'er is still clinging to Xiao Jin every day by then, just send him to Qingyue Mountain.
After lunch, the nanny took Xiaobao to take a nap, and Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin went to the study.
"Ah Jin, why did you come to see me in such a hurry? Is something urgent?"
"The Princess invited me to her residence today to examine her," Su Ruojin said directly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanchu immediately guessed his elder sister's intention. "It seems that Your Majesty is impatient. Your Majesty and the Prince Consort have a very good relationship, but unfortunately, they have no children, which has become a source of heartache for Your Majesty. If Ajin can help Your Majesty conceive, Your Majesty will surely be overjoyed. What will the result be? Will Your Majesty be able to conceive?"
Su Ruojin shook her head, "The eldest princess will never be able to have children in her life."
She could see the princess's longing for a child, but couldn't bear to say it directly, so she said some repetitive things, that hope was better than despair.
Moreover, there was an even more important reason that allowed her to temporarily deceive the princess.
Hearing Su Ruojin state the result so decisively, Xiao Yanchu sighed, "Perhaps this is fate. If all else fails, I'll advise my elder sister to adopt a child as soon as possible."
"Yanchu, do you know your elder sister?"
