Chapter 80 Madam Sister
Sometimes people are like this. When no one cares, they feel they can handle everything. But once someone asks you if you are tired, you feel like every bone in your body is about to fall apart.
Chen Yu lowered her head and said nothing.
She couldn't tolerate herself becoming weak, but in front of Xie Tingzhou's two light words, she was indeed weak.
Xie Tingzhou glanced at her and said, "This case has been delayed for a long time. If it is delayed any further, the people will be angry. The three judicial departments will close the case as soon as possible. No matter what the result is, you should be prepared first."
Shen Yu raised her head and looked at him, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
Xie Tingzhou turned his head and looked out the window. "This case will be judged, but it may not be entirely to your liking."
Shen Yu frowned and thought, all she wanted was for those involved in this case to receive the punishment they deserved, could it be that this was not possible?
"It's just a guess, don't think too much about it." Xie Tingzhou softened his tone.
Shen Yu nodded, looked at him and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Xie Tingzhou's gaze stayed on her face for two breaths, "It's okay."
Chen Yu knew how determined Xie Tingzhou was, and estimated that as long as he was still alive, nothing would be a problem for him.
"Go back." Xie Tingzhou said again.
Shen Yu walked to the door, thought for a moment, then turned back and said, "I want to go out for a while, I'll go to Lu's shop, there are some things I want to confirm."
She didn't know why she had to tell him, but she just felt that she should say this.
Xie Tingzhou nodded, "Go ahead."
Chen Yu went out and closed the door, looked around, and saw Xi Feng talking to the guard at the corner.
I vaguely heard Xifeng talking to the guards about some rare medicinal herbs, which must be for Xie Tingzhou.
Chen Yu walked over. Xi Feng knew she had something to ask, so he waved his hand to let the guards leave and asked, "What is it?"
"Are you looking for medicinal herbs for His Highness?"
Xi Feng looked at her cautiously and nodded, "Your Highness has not yet recovered from the poison, and has been lacking a few medicinal herbs."
Chen Yu said, "I don't know what's missing. I have some connections with the Lu family. Let's see if they can find it."
Xifeng took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, on which he circled the missing medicinal materials in the prescription with a red pen. There were three or four missing.
Shen Yu memorized it silently, glanced at the door not far away, and asked in a low voice: "He was fine when he entered the palace, but he is like this when he came back. Did something happen in the palace?"
Xi Feng said solemnly, "This is not a question you should ask. If you want to know, you can just ask His Highness."
Chen Yu returned disappointed and walked out of the yard. Not far away, she heard hurried footsteps behind her.
"Hey, that... that guy," Li Jifeng shouted from behind, "That guy Yu, stop right there."
Chen Yu stopped and bowed to Li Jifeng, "Your Highness the Ninth Prince."
Li Jifeng walked forward and pulled Chen Yu to the back of the rockery, and said like a thief: "You asked Xie Yun what happened just now, but you asked the wrong person, why didn't you ask me?"
Chen Yu said: "Your Highness, please speak."
Li Jifeng lifted his robe and sat on the stone bench, opening his folding fan. "This is a long story."
Shen Yu pursed her lips.
She had heard a little about Li Jifeng and could sum it up in three words: unreliable.
Li Jifeng talked freely, "This story started 23 years ago. It is said that the Princess of Beilin was diagnosed with pregnancy that year. The King of Beilin was overjoyed. The Princess gave birth to a son after ten months of pregnancy and named him Xie Yun..."
Chen Yu dozed off while listening to this, thinking that the rumor was indeed true. It was really unreliable. Why didn’t they just start from when Pangu created the world?
It was already late. Chen Yu wanted to go to the shop yesterday, but was interrupted by Dou Qing, that abscess. If she didn't go today, she would probably have more troubles.
"Xie Yun has been extremely intelligent since childhood, so..."
"Ninth Prince," Chen Yu couldn't help but interrupt him. At this rate, Xie Tingzhou probably wouldn't even be an adult by tomorrow morning.
Chen Yu bowed and said, "Shi Yu still has work to do, why don't you come back another day to listen to His Highness's storytelling, oh no, listen to His Highness's explanation of doubts."
Li Jifeng was straightforward and said indifferently, "Okay, go ahead, but I'm not always in the mood to help people solve their problems. You can only try your luck in the future."
It doesn’t matter if you don’t want this luck. Whoever wants it can have it.
Chen Yu smiled and said, "That's right, your highness is very busy, Shi Yu dare not delay your highness's time."
Li Jifeng held his chin high and walked away, fanning himself.
It was dark when Chen Yu arrived at Lu's shop, and the shopkeeper closed the door.
"The young lady didn't come yesterday. I heard from Lai Shun that she was delayed on the way by the boy from the Dou family. Is the young lady okay?"
"It's okay," Shen Yu said, "Any news from the Shen Mansion?"
The shopkeeper said, "Yesterday, Miss Shen came to the store in person and left a message, saying that the lady could go to the place she was looking for. The address was a nunnery in Shangchu."
Shen Yu frowned. Shen Yan hid the green medicine in the nunnery and hid it so far away.
"Uncle Lu."
Shopkeeper Lu bowed quickly and said, "Miss, you are embarrassing me."
Chen Yu said, "Please ask Uncle Lu to go to Wantong Escort Agency tomorrow and find Miss He Xuehui of Wantong Escort Agency and ask her to bring some people to Shangchu. The more people the better. The price will be easy to negotiate. Just tell them that it is a big order."
Shopkeeper Lu thought for a moment and nodded, "Miss, this method is safe."
There are four major escort agencies in the capital, and Wantong Escort Agency is one of them. Lu's Trading Company is spread all over the Great Zhou. They usually transport goods from south to north. When they encounter very important goods, they will also look for escort agencies. Therefore, they have cooperated with Wantong several times.
If you want to run a good escort agency, you have to be well connected with both the black and white worlds. Not only do you have to have connections in the court, you also have to have considerable strength.
Chen Yan is kept in the boudoir, so even if she has some evil thoughts, it shouldn't cause any big waves. The Wantong Escort Agency is enough.
"Find Green Medicine, and bring her back no matter what the result is." Chen Yu said again.
"Yes, I've made note of it."
"Uncle Lu."
Shopkeeper Lu said, "Miss, please speak."
Shen Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to find some medicinal herbs."
"What kind of medicinal herbs are they?"
Chen Yu said: "Thousand Spirit Ginseng, Blood Python Branch, Tianshan Snow Lotus, and a kind of Black Knot Grass."
Shopkeeper Lu stroked his beard and said, "We do have some Thousand Spirit Ginseng ready."
"Really?" Shen Yu asked in surprise.
Shopkeeper Lu said, "A couple of years ago, our herbal medicine shop found one, but it was too rare so we didn't sell it. It should be in the warehouse of Hezhou Prefecture now. But the others may be hard to find, especially the blood python branch. I am so ignorant that I have never heard of it."
Chen Yu knew that these herbs were hard to find, otherwise with Xie Tingzhou's power, he wouldn't have been unable to find them until now. She didn't expect to have an unexpected surprise today. It was already great to be able to find one.
"I will go back to the Shen Mansion to open the warehouse tomorrow," Chen Yu said, "No matter how much the price is, I'll have to trouble Uncle Lu to keep an eye on the medicinal materials for me in the future."
Shopkeeper Lu said, "Lu belongs to Miss. What are you talking about? If you have anything to do, just tell me to do it."
Chen Yu left a letter to Hezhou to ask about Qianling Ginseng, and took out a handkerchief from her sleeve.
Shopkeeper Lu smiled as soon as he saw it, "The young lady really embroidered a sachet for the old lady."
That was last year. Shen Yu asked Mrs. Lu what gift she wanted this year. The old lady knew that she was not good at needlework, so she teased her by saying that she wanted a sachet embroidered by her. Unexpectedly, Shen Yu really embroidered it.
Chen Yu stroked the embroidered sachet with bumps and said in a low voice: "I embroidered several, and this one is the best."
Shopkeeper Lu said: "No matter how well it is embroidered, the old lady will definitely be delighted when she receives it."
It was already dark when I left the shop and returned home.
There was a real noise in the front yard, and Chen Yu asked Erya, "What's going on over there?"
"I don't know what's going on," Erya said, "so many people have come to the palace, including beautiful maids and beautiful wives."
Chen Yu: "What is Madam Sister?"
Erya said innocently, "Madam sister doesn't dress like a maid, but like a madam. She is a very young sister, very pretty, and seems to be arranged in the courtyard next to us."
On the second day, Chen Yu finally knew what the "Madam Sister" that Erya was talking about was.
