Hongyu would go to Qiu's house at least three or five times a year, and she had long been used to it.
After exiting the side hall, Hongyu went to the warehouse first and neatly prepared four brocade boxes. The brocade boxes contained expensive supplements such as ginseng and bird's nest.
As Hongyu, there was no need to hold the brocade box in person. There were four small palace attendants behind him, each holding one in their hands.
Hongyu and the palace people rode in a carriage, and Shen You rode with him on a horse.
Along the way, Shen Youjun's face was solemn, without any expression.
Hongyu occasionally glanced at Shen You and sighed in her heart.
Very few people knew about those old events back then. The Crown Princess was kept in the dark.
The Crown Princess is kind and soft-hearted, and values friendship above all else. Over the years, she has often thought about her adopted sister who remarried to Qiu Mingcheng, and was always worried that Jiang would be wronged by the Qiu family. From time to time, she would send her confidant to the Qiu family, just to support Jiang. To prevent Jiang from being treated harshly and neglected by the Qiu family.
She was feeling depressed, but she didn't dare to show it at all.
Jiang has been ill for many days, and the Crown Princess has been thinking about it since she found out. Today, she directly ordered Shen You to go to Qiu Mansion to support her mother...
What is this thing called?
Seeing that they were about to arrive at the Qiu Mansion, Hongyu calmed down, stopped the carriage, and said to Shen You: "Servant Shen, please come over. I have something to tell you."
Shen You rode over expressionlessly and dismounted.
Hongyu got off the carriage, led Shen You a few meters away, and whispered: "Servant Shen, I know a little bit about the grudges between you and Mrs. Qiu."
"You don't want to go to Qiu's house, but you have to come because of your Majesty's orders. Why don't you go to Qiu's house, have a look at Mrs. Qiu, and then go back and resume your life. Just wait outside the door of Qiu's house."
"Anyway, the empress only ordered you and your servants to go to Qiu Mansion, and she didn't say that you must enter Jiang's courtyard."
Shen You's complexion improved visibly, and he nodded slightly: "Thank you, Aunt Hongyu."
Hongyu smiled slightly, looking at the handsome face that resembled Jiang's, she sighed again in her heart.
Shen You is doing well in everything, but the only pity is that he was reincarnated into Jiang's belly. Fortunately, what happened back then was concealed and not exposed. Otherwise, with such a shameless mother, Shen You would have no face to be with the prince. On errand?
The carriage arrived at Qiu Mansion, and Hongyu led the palace people inside.
As expected, Shen You did not enter Qiu Mansion, but was waiting outside the door.
After about half an hour, Hongyu came out.
Before Shen You could open his mouth, Hongyu took the initiative and said: "Mrs. Qiu has suffered from the cold, and it's not serious. She will be fine if she rests for three to five days."
Wind and cold are nothing, Jiang's disease is mainly a heart disease.
Hongyu didn't feel sorry for Mr. Jiang at all. She stabbed him a few times with a knife beside the hospital bed. After appreciating Mr. Jiang's daring to be angry but not speaking out, she came out satisfied.
Shen You whispered: "Thank you Aunt Hongyu."
Hongyu laughed in a low voice and said: "After returning to the East Palace, I will return my orders to the empress. Guard Shen will just go on errands."
Shen You frowned and thanked him again.
In the East Palace, apart from the prince and grandson, the person who can appease the crown prince and the empress is Hong Yu. Maybe Hong Yu's words will carry more weight.
Hongyu was a slave born in the Yuan family. She was chosen to serve her master since she was a child. They have been together day and night for decades, and the friendship between master and servant is deep.
…
Hong Yu is indeed the person who knows the Crown Princess best.
The Crown Princess was sulky for a while because of Shen Youjian's temper, and when she came back in the afternoon, she was almost gone. When Hong Yu came back to her life, the Crown Princess was talking to her grandchildren, and she was so amused that she laughed happily. Very well, I have long forgotten all the unhappiness from before.
Hongyu stepped forward with a smile and reported: "I'd like to report to you, Your Majesty, I've been to the Qiu Mansion."
"Mrs. Qiu is fine, she just suffered some cold. Guard Shen specially invited famous doctors from the capital to diagnose and prescribe Mrs. Qiu. Mrs. Qiu is almost recovered."
This reply was well detailed and first-rate.
The Crown Princess relaxed her brows and said with a smile: "He is quite thoughtful."
Hongyu smiled and agreed: "Isn't it? In fact, speaking of it, Mrs. Qiu was born without raising a child, and it is inevitable that the relationship between Guard Shen and his mother will be alienated and indifferent. The human heart is made of flesh, and it can be warmed by a little bit. My heart is broken by the years of alienation.”
"Only they themselves know what happens between mother and son."
"I feel that Guard Shen has been working as a servant for His Highness for several years and his character is trustworthy. Your Majesty, don't get angry with Guard Shen just because of a trivial matter."
After the Crown Princess lost her temper, she was willing to listen to the advice and nodded subconsciously: "What you said makes sense."
"That's fine, I won't talk too much in the future."
Hongyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and promptly changed the subject: "The imperial concubine has been recuperating in the palace and has not seen anyone for two years. I wonder how the imperial concubine's health is doing?"
Ganquan Palace was sealed for two years, and Concubine Cao was forced to rest in peace at first. As time passed, she became sick even if she wasn't sick. Now she is really lingering on the bed.
The Crown Princess showed disgust in her eyes and whispered: "Good people don't live long, but harm will last for thousands of years. You see, Concubine Cao will not fall ill so easily."
Then he sighed again: "My father has been coughing frequently since the beginning of spring this year. I heard from His Highness that my father even coughed up blood a few days ago."
Coughing up blood is not a good sign.
Emperor Long'an is afraid that he won't last long, and he might not even be able to survive this winter.
This topic is also taboo in the palace, and it is not appropriate to talk about it in the East Palace.
The princess quickly stopped talking.
Hongyu, on the other hand, murmured a few words in a low voice: "The emperor is seriously ill and cannot afford it, so King Zhao of Qin and his grandsons take turns waiting for him. I heard that King Zhao interceded for the King of Han in front of the emperor. I'm afraid that the King of Han will return soon." It’s Beijing.”
Two years ago, the King of Han was sent to guard the imperial mausoleum. During these two years, the King of Han wrote a letter back to the palace every three days. Unfortunately, Emperor Long'an did not read any of them and threw them all into the charcoal basin.
However, no matter how strong the anger is, it will subside sometimes.
Two years have passed. Emperor Long'an's dragon body is almost dying. Before closing his eyes, how could Emperor Long'an not let the King of Han return to the capital?
…
Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Cough cough cough!
Cough cough cough cough!
The coughs came one after another, accompanied by heavy breathing.
"Your Majesty," Eunuch Shen knelt beside the dragon couch with an anxious look on his face and kept patting Emperor Long'an on the back. Eunuch Wang knelt on the ground, holding a spittoon.
After a while, Emperor Long'an coughed up thick phlegm, which was shockingly mixed with blood.
Emperor Long'an closed his eyes, and his tired old face revealed an aura of impending decline.
Several imperial doctors gathered around the dragon's bed and discussed in low voices. Qi Yuan went to the dragon's bed to perform acupuncture on Emperor Long'an.
After a long time, a chamberlain came in with a letter: "Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Han has sent a letter to the palace."
