Contrary to Guarjia's good mood, Shumulu returned to Xinghuachun Pavilion with a gloomy face. Seeing her saying nothing, Ruliu took the fragrant tea handed to her by the palace attendant and offered it to her: "
Master, please take a sip of tea to relieve your anger."
Without looking at her, Mrs. Shumulu said directly: "I can't drink it, so let's just let it go."
Ru Liu knew that she had been tricked by Mrs. Liu, and felt uncomfortable, so she persuaded her: "Master, the matter has come to this, it is useless for you to be angry anymore, it is better to think about what happens next."
Yushan quickly took over the words and said, "Yes, Master, maybe this is a good thing."
"Confused!" Mrs. Shumulu glared at her and shouted: "Who do you think Concubine Qian is? Will she let me take advantage of her good things?"
Yushan said in confusion: "But didn't Concubine Qian adopt Brother Seventh to her master? Maybe she really wants to be on good terms with her master!"
Ru Liu shook his head and said: "Don't even think about it. The seventh elder brother is the meat that fell from Qian's body and gave it to the master for no reason. She is not crazy!"
Yushan pursed her lips in grievance and said: "But it doesn't look like a bad thing. Although the master is a favorite now, he is neither pregnant nor having children. Now he has the seventh elder brother with him..."
"By your side?" Mr. Shu Mululu sneered and said repeatedly: "Why do I feel like I'm urging you to order more? There is an extra little brother here for no reason. I don't know how many things will happen in the future. In case there is a brain.
It’s hot, it’s time to spread the word in the palace that I abused Brother Seventh.”
Yushan was speechless after saying this. After a while, she said, "But people are already packed in, and we can't push them out."
This was what bothered Mr. Shumulu the most. He glanced at Ruliu and said, "You always have ideas, but how about you tell me what to do this time?"
Ruliu thought about it and said: "Yinuyi said that once you come, you will be in peace; as long as you take good care of Seventh Brother, nothing will happen to you, and then the master can slowly figure out what Concubine Qian is planning."
"That's all we can do." Just as he was talking, someone walked in from outside the house. The person at the front was Jin Gu, holding a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes.
"You came so quickly!" Mrs. Shumulu murmured, returned to the chair and sat down. She watched Jin Gu come in, then bowed her knees and saluted her, "My slave, please pay your respects to Hui Gui. Good luck to Hui Gui."
Staring at the baby in Jin Gu's arms, Shu Mulu's eyelids twitched and he said politely: "Auntie, please get up. I didn't expect that Auntie would bring Brother Seventh over so quickly. Why didn't you let Concubine Qian hold it for a while longer?"
Jin Gu said with a smile on her face: "Your Majesty was afraid that Mr. Hui would miss you, so she urged your slaves to come. Besides, they are all in the same garden. If your Majesty misses Brother Seventh, you can come over at any time, right?"
Shu Mulu smiled and said nothing. When Jin Gu saw that she did not pick up the child, she handed Hongxun to a woman who came with her, "Your Majesty, this is Aunt Cheng who is responsible for the seventh brother's milk. As for some other people
, are all responsible for serving the seventh elder brother. The empress was afraid that the noble man would not have enough manpower here, so she brought all the slaves and maids, and asked the noble man to take care of them."
Mrs. Shumulu got up and walked to Aunt Cheng. She looked at Hongxun who was sleeping soundly in her arms. This child seemed to like sleeping very much. It was rare to see him playing awake. He nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please come back and take care of me."
I thank you, empress."
Jin Gu agreed: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will definitely tell you. If your Majesty has no other instructions, I will leave first."
After Jin Gu left, Mr. Shumulu held the child in his arms. The child was very light and had no weight in his hands. When the armor touched the child's tender cheeks, he seemed to feel something and his eyelids moved a little.
, but did not open it, but made a humming sound from his mouth.
Shu Mulu moved his eyes away from Hongxun's face, glanced at Aunt Cheng who was standing in front of her respectfully, and said: "What did you guys do before, and what will you do again when you get here? I won't ask you to do anything extra, but
You must work hard and take good care of Brother Seventh. If anything goes wrong, you are the only one I will ask!"
Aunt Cheng heard the sharpness in her last sentence and said quickly: "Please rest assured, noble lady, I and the others will definitely take good care of Brother Seventh." The rest of the people also responded.
Shu Mulu nodded slightly and said, "Just remember, take Brother Seventh down, I'll go see him later."
After Grandma Cheng and others went down obediently, Mrs. Shumulus stroked her forehead with a headache, feeling indescribably annoyed in her heart. She knew that the child was a hidden danger, but she couldn't throw it away. This feeling really disgusted her.
On the opposite side was Ms. Liu. When Jin Gu came back with empty hands, she stroked her chest and let out a sigh of relief. Then she fell limply into the chair with a trace of sadness in her relaxed expression.
After waving her hand to order Jin Gu and everyone except Haitang to go out, she cried out: "Jin Gu, am I the most cruel mother-in-law in the world?"
"No, the master had no choice but to do that." After saying this, seeing that Mrs. Liu still looked stern, Jin Gu said again: "When I sent Brother Seventh there just now, he didn't cry at all, which shows that he didn't cry at all.
I don’t blame the master.” In fact, Hongxun has been sleeping mostly since he was born, rarely crying or opening his eyes.
"Are you serious?" Ms. Liu knew in her heart that Jin Gu was trying to comfort her, but she still kept asking.
Jin Gu stroked Mr. Liu's shoulder and said, "It is said that mother and son are connected. It is true. Brother Seven is very sensible. He knows that he will not live long. Instead of leaving like this in a meaningless way, he would rather help his master."
.”
"Hongxun..." Ms. Liu cried sadly and was about to cry. Jin Gu knelt down and said: "Master, you can't be so sad. You must cheer up. Adopting Brother Seven to Mr. Hui is just the first step.
, the second step is crucial, we must take action before the seventh prince dies."
"I know." Mrs. Liu forced back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, and calmed down the sadness in her heart before saying, "By the way, did Mr. Shumulu say anything when you sent it away just now?"
Jin Gu said truthfully: "No, but I can see that Hui Gui is suspicious of the master and is not willing to raise the seventh elder brother. Fortunately, the master wants to get the emperor to issue an order, otherwise Hui Gui may not be willing to obey."
After Mrs. Liu nodded, she turned to Haitang and said, "When Imperial Physician He came last time, what was the maximum length of time Hongxun could live?"
Haitang thought about it for a moment and said, "Replying to the master, Dr. He said that little brother is now supported by ginseng and should be able to hold on until his face is full."
"Double full moon, that is to say, we still have a month. I want to see how she can escape this disaster." When she said the last sentence, there was a coldness in Liu's voice.
