Chapter 324 Who is he?
Jiang Mansion
"Miss, Ningshuang is back."
Song Yu tilted his head to look at Ning Shuang, "So? Did Du Zhihuan return to the Song family?"
Ningshuang nodded. "I didn't see the Du family looking for her, but Du Zhihuan didn't move all her belongings to the Song family either. Maybe Song Mingzhu will return to the Du family after she recovers. Oh, and Qiuyue went to a shady pharmacy in the west of the city this morning and bought..."
Ningshuang found it difficult to speak.
Bai Lan said impatiently, "Sister Ningshuang, tell me what you bought?"
Ning Shuang lowered her voice and said, "I bought the medicine to make me lose my sons."
Bai Lan opened her mouth in shock. "Who is this for? Is it for Du Zhihuan?"
Ning Shuang nodded, "I spent some money to find out, and that black-hearted shopkeeper said it was colorless and odorless. This is it."
Ningshuang handed a small packet of medicine powder from her sleeve to Song Yu.
Song Yu observed it carefully, sniffed it, added it to the tea, and then poured it out. "It's really not easy to detect. Du Zhihuan is in trouble. Without a child, even as a mistress, life is not easy."
Bai Lan: "Song Mingzhu was soft-hearted and didn't take her life directly."
Song Yu: "Song Mingzhu is not stupid. If she takes Du Zhihuan's life, will the Marquis and his wife, who dote on her like their life, let the Song family go?"
She guessed right. Song Mingzhu was really going to attack her, and this was the way she wanted to do it.
"Miss," Ning Shuang asked, "Do you still want to keep an eye on the Song family?"
"No need to keep an eye on them. Song Mingzhu won't come to harm me. You all take turns keeping an eye on Du Zhihuan and the Du family. Oh, let Ah Qi withdraw first, and then focus on the Cheng family..."
The next day after breakfast, Xiao Chengqian came to Jiang's house.
After waiting for less than half a minute, Song Yu came out with a lunch box.
Xiao Chengqian stepped forward with a smile and took the food box. "Sister Yu, today is a small court meeting. I remember the last time I entered the palace, it was also a small court meeting."
Song Yu looked at Xiao Chengqian, who was as gentle as jade and had a resolute temperament, and felt like he was an old acquaintance.
Maybe it was because of the last trip to Huguo Temple.
Smiling, he said, "Brother Crown Prince, you may not know that I am only entering the palace during a minor court meeting so that I can check the Emperor's pulse. How is your mother these days?"
Xiao Chengqian looked at her tenderly, "I'm fine. Mother, please follow your prescription to recuperate. Hurry up and get in the carriage. The Emperor will be gone from court when we get to the palace."
In the carriage, Bai Lan whispered, "Miss, why do I find that your relationship with Prince Xiao is getting better and better? What should Prince Mu do?"
"Stop worrying about nothing. Just eat your food." Song Yu picked up the rice cake on the small table and stuffed it into her mouth. "Prince Xiao is just an acquaintance to me now."
Bai Lan took the osmanthus cake from her mouth and said, "So you like Prince Mu?"
Mu Jingxing's beautiful and cold face instantly appeared in front of Song Yu's eyes, "...I like Song Ice Cream. Hey, where's the ice cream?"
"I didn't bring it. How about turning back and getting it?"
"Forget it, cats may not be allowed in the palace."
Song Yu had not arrived yet, so Xiao Yanli went to the harem to wait after the court was dismissed.
"Father, why hasn't Sister Yu come yet?"
Seeing Xiao Hongyu licking her lips, Xiao Yanli chuckled, "Do you want to eat the cakes made by Miss Song?"
"No." Xiao Hongyu refused to admit it. "I just want to know if Sister Yu has found a way to cure Mother."
Xiao Yanli came here early today just for this matter. "She'll know when she gets here."
Concubine Qing secretly glanced at Xiao Yanli's expectant expression and curled her lips.
Tsk, still thinking about your wife.
Humph, men are such liars!
"Your Majesty, Miss Song should have a way to cure my sister."
Xiao Yanli didn't hold much hope for this, "I hope so."
"Father, Mother, and Queen Mother, who is he? Is he dead or alive?"
Xiao Yanli sent all the palace servants out of the palace. "He is the Marquis of Ever-Victory, Zhan Lingyuan. Over thirty years ago, your royal grandfather ordered the confiscation of his property and exile for rebellion. He faked his own death during exile and returned to the capital to assassinate the prince. Unfortunately, upon his return to the capital that day, he ran into your mother and your fourth brother as they left the palace to return to their parents' home. Your fourth brother was only five years old at the time, and he pierced his heart with a sword, dying in front of your mother."
"Your mother was traumatized by the early deaths of your eldest and second brothers. She was sometimes lucid and sometimes insane. After years of treatment, her condition gradually stabilized, and only then did your mother have your fourth brother. But that day, your mother watched your fourth brother fall in a pool of blood. Her illness relapsed and she went completely insane."
Xiao Hongyu: "What happened next? Is Zhan Lingyuan dead or alive?"
"My father searched the capital for three days and three nights before he finally caught him. But once he was caught, he committed suicide by taking poison."
"Then he might still be alive."
"He couldn't survive. Father stabbed him multiple times in the heart. This incident angered your grandfather, and the Zhan family was exiled, but the entire clan was executed."
"Perhaps it's because of the heavy killing back then, our Xiao family has always had more girls than boys."
Xiao Hongyu asked again: "What about the third brother?"
At the mention of her son, Concubine Qing suddenly burst into tears. "When your third brother was fifteen, he was assassinated while investigating a corruption case. Woohoo... My handsome son, he hasn't appeared in my dreams in all these years." Concubine Qing was increasingly distressed. "Woohoo... My son..."
"Mother, don't be sad." Xiao Hongyu quickly coaxed, "Since my third brother doesn't appear in my dreams, it means he's doing well over there. He should have been reborn into a good family and may have married and had children. Maybe these noble young men in the capital are my third brother's reincarnations."
"real?"
Concubine Qing stopped crying instantly.
Xiao Hongyu nodded, "Don't worry, mother. Third brother will surely be doing well. Now that I am your son, I will be filial to you."
Concubine Qing smiled brightly, "Yu'er, your little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."
"Hehehe...what I said is from the bottom of my heart."
"Ha... Mother knows that you are the best."
"Ahem..." Xiao Yanli looked at the loving mother and filial son in front of him and couldn't help but cough lightly, "Yu'er, and father."
Xiao Hongyu quickly threw himself into Xiao Yanli's arms, "Of course I am filial to my father. Today, I will help him review the memorials."
"Your Majesty." Wang Gui leaned forward and walked in. "Miss Song and Prince Xiao are here."
"Hurry up and announce it."
After receiving the greetings, Song Yu carefully took the pulse of the family of three.
The family of three are all in good health.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the little prince should maintain his current state and pay attention to his daily diet. He will surely grow up safely."
The emperor and his concubine were in a good mood after hearing this.
Xiao Yanli: "Miss Song, have you come up with any ideas for curing the Queen these days?"
Song Yu: "Your Majesty, I have no idea yet. I will continue to think of a solution."
Xiao Yanli couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Song Yu has been unable to find a solution for such a long time, it seems that there is really no way.
"It's not a big deal. If you really can't think of a solution, just prescribe a calming prescription for the Queen."
On the way out of the palace, Xiao Chengqian asked, "You really have no way to cure the Queen?"
Song Yu: "I don't have any idea at the moment, but I will keep thinking about it."
Xiao Chengqian: "There's really nothing we can do. Don't make it hard on yourself. The Emperor said it's not a big deal."
"Don't worry, I won't embarrass myself."
Xiao Chengqian continued, "I know what you're talking about. Are you really not planning on returning to the Du Mansion?"
Song Yu was firm: "No, I won't go back. I have my grandmother, and that's enough for me!"
Xiao Chengqian felt relieved after hearing this. Since Mrs. Du had taken a fancy to Song Yu, the engagement would not be changed.
Du Henian is not on the front line now, and the military power of the Du family is in the hands of Du Da and Du Er. As long as his wife is of the Marquis's bloodline, the Du family will naturally serve him.
"Okay, then I won't reply."
As they were approaching the palace gate, Xiao Chengqian suddenly remembered something and asked, "Your cousin said your grandmother will soon regain her sight. When is that date? I can go and congratulate her."
"The day after tomorrow, I will personally remove the patch. Grandmother will see us all gathered together. We will sit down to have a family dinner that day. We can come to congratulate you another day."
"good."
After leaving the palace, the two went their separate ways.
Two blocks away from the imperial palace, Xiao Fei stopped Song Yu's carriage.
"Miss Song, my princess is going to the Jiuchonglou for dinner. Do you want to go?"
