Su Jinxiu was a little curious and caught the loophole in Xiao Rui's words.
"Well, it's nothing.
That is, anyway, you will know when the time comes.
By the way, do you need anything in the palace?
I'll bring them all for you, don't worry outside.
As Yang Jiaojiao watched, I also took care of it.
Nothing will happen, the Chinese New Year is about to begin.
I guess you will have to spend the New Year in the palace this year..."
Xiao Rui didn't want to tell Su Jinxiu that much before getting the evidence.
Su Jinxiu was not a person who wanted to get to the bottom of things. Seeing that Xiao Rui was hiding something, she pretended not to hear it.
"Yes, I want the old prince to help me go to the Marquis Mansion to see the old lady.
I always feel that there is something strange about the old lady's illness."
Xiao Rui nodded, signaling Su Jinxiu to rest assured.
"I will leave the palace later and go to the Marquis' Mansion immediately.
No matter who they are, they can't stop me..."
With Xiao Rui's words, Su Jinxiu felt relieved.
After thinking about it, he handed Xiao Rui a bottle of spiritual spring water.
"This, the old prince will give it to the old lady." Xiao Rui put away the porcelain vase and gave Su Jinxiu a few words before leaving the palace.
————————————
Arriving at Zhenyuan Hou Mansion, Xiao Rui was invited in.
Zhou Yixiu, who came in a hurry, felt her heart beating out of her throat when she heard Xiao Rui's intention.
"Old Prince, my mother has been seriously ill in bed for some time.
In order to allow his mother to live in peace and recuperate, Mr. Hou made a special statement before going to the border.
No one is allowed to visit her for fear of disturbing her mother.
Secondly, I was also afraid that the old prince would be sick.
It would be better for the old prince to go back first.
After some time, when the marquis comes back, will you invite the old prince over again?"
Xiao Rui rolled his eyes and waved his hand.
"Don't talk nonsense with me. I heard that the old lady has been ill for some time.
But it never got better, so I came to visit.
Why, I'm not even allowed to look at it.
Could it be that the old lady is strangely ill?"
Zhou Yixiu's expression froze and she could hardly sit still.
"how come?"
"Mother!" Just as he was saying this, he saw Lin Zhaozhao slowly entering the door.
She looked at Xiao Rui, smiled, and saluted.
"Zhao Zhao has met the prince. The prince is a thousand years old."
Xiao Rui turned his back and hummed softly in response.
Lin Zhaozhao was not annoyed by his attitude and turned to look at Zhou Yixiu.
"Your Majesty came to visit you out of kindness, so why would you let him leave like this?
Grandma took medicine yesterday and is feeling better now.
You can ask the old prince to take a look, old prince, come with Zhao Zhao!"
Just when Zhou Yixiu was about to say something, she saw Lin Zhaozhao shook his head at her, indicating not to worry.
She could only suppress her nervousness and echoed.
"That being the case, please come here, Your Majesty..."
Lin Zhaozhao took Xiao Rui all the way to the old lady's courtyard, but there was no one in the courtyard.
It exudes a bitter medicinal smell that makes people frown.
Lin Zhaozhao took a step forward and opened the door.
"Your Majesty, please come in. Grandma is feeling better this morning.
It’s just that the mind is sometimes clear and sometimes confused..."
It was clearly a clear day and the sky was clear, but the room was very dark.
It was vaguely visible that the bed was slightly raised, as if someone was lying on it.
"Grandma, the prince is here to see you. Zhao Zhao is helping you get up."
Lin Zhaozhao walked to the bed and helped Zhang Ru up.
After all, it was a female family member, so Xiao Rui couldn't come forward.
Standing behind the screen, he asked.
"Old madam, are you feeling better?"
Lin Zhaozhao helped Zhang Ru half-lean against the head of the bed and opened the window further.
The little light that leaked in was just enough for people outside the screen to see Zhang Ru's appearance on the bed.
After doing all this, Lin Zhaozhao looked at Zhang Ru and smiled.
"Grandma, the prince wants to ask you if you are feeling better?"
Zhang Ru's eyes were dull, without any light.
When he opened his mouth, his voice was horribly rough.
"Better."
Xiao Rui couldn't help but frowned when he heard this voice.
"Old lady, what is this?"
Lin Zhaozhao walked aside and picked up the kettle.
"Grandma has been ill for a long time and has not spoken. It is normal for her voice to be like this.
I'll pour some water for grandma..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Zhaozhao felt a little embarrassed and the kettle was empty.
She looked at Xiao Rui, then looked outside.
To avoid exposing the truth, there is usually no one outside, and now there is no one to call for water.
Seeing Lin Zhaozhao standing there motionless, Xiao Rui couldn't help but frown.
"Didn't you mean to pour water for your grandmother? What are you doing there?
Can I still eat your grandmother while I am here?"
Lin Zhaozhao glanced at Zhang Ru on the bed and estimated that nothing would happen to Zhang Ru for a while.
Xiao Rui was suspicious, so she could only carry the teapot and walk out.
"Old Prince, Zhao Zhao will come back later."
Lin Zhaozhao calmly went out, made sure Xiao Rui didn't see her, and ran down the mountain.
When the footsteps faded away, Xiao Rui quickly stepped forward.
"Oh, old lady, are you okay?
The Jinxiu girl was extremely worried, so she specially asked me, Wang Kai, to take a look.
you……"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Rui caught a glimpse of Zhang Ru looking something wrong.
What should I say? He was already standing in front of people.
Zhang Ru, on the other hand, didn't even blink or turn his peripheral vision.
He looked like a wooden man, motionless.
Before Xiao Rui could think about it, he heard hurried footsteps coming from outside.
He knew someone was coming, so he quickly took out the porcelain vase Su Jinxiu gave him without caring much.
Pour the water inside into Zhang Ru's mouth.
"This is what Xiao Jinxiu gave me. It's probably not a bad thing. If you drink it, it should feel better."
As soon as the spring water was poured in, someone came through the door.
Xiao Rui was afraid of being discovered, so he walked out panting.
"Your Majesty?"
Lin Zhaozhao was shocked when he caught a glimpse of Xiao Rui coming out from behind.
He quickly shouted outside and stepped forward quickly.
"Mother, the prince has already visited my grandmother.
Please ask the prince to sit down at the foot of the mountain to prevent grandma from getting sick."
When Zhou Yixiu heard this, she felt bad and hurriedly entered the door and invited Xiao Rui out.
"Your Majesty, my mother's health will improve soon, and she won't be too tired easily.
You've seen it, you should rest assured.
this way please……"
Xiao Rui couldn't help but stay shamelessly, so he looked back and confirmed what happened to Zhang Rumei, and then went down the mountain with Zhou Yixiu.
After the people left, Lin Zhaozhao hurriedly closed the door.
He quickly ran behind the screen and was about to get the medicine.
But Zhang Ru was seen scratching his head in pain and groaning in pain.
"It hurts, go, Jin...xiu, Yaoyao..."
Lin Zhaozhao bit his lip, held the medicine bottle tightly and stepped forward to test it.
"Grandma, do you still remember me?
I am your granddaughter..."
Hearing this, Zhang Ru suddenly raised his head, his dead eyes flashing with light.
Granddaughter, Jinxiu? No, not Yaoyao?
Yaoyao, don’t leave the child behind.
Don't, don't be like Xi Ran and marry someone else with your children.
Children, poor children.
Ah, you're not, you're not..."
Seeing Zhang Ru lose control, Lin Zhaozhao suddenly rushed forward and stuffed the medicine bottle in his hand into Zhang Ru's mouth.
After Zhang Ru swallowed the medicine, the light in her eyes disappeared again.
As if his soul had been taken away, he lay numbly on the bed...
