Chapter 354: Longyue wakes up
Prince Guo did not expect Su Peisheng to do this, and hurriedly gave orders.
"Ah Jin, please see Eunuch Su off."
"Yes, master."
A Jin responded and caught up with Su Peisheng in a few steps. He politely stopped him.
"Eunuch Su, the master said you've made such a fuss, so I'm inviting you to tea."
He stuffed an ordinary, inconspicuous purse into Su Peisheng's hand.
"Please don't refuse."
A Jin's series of reasons forced Su Peisheng to accept it.
He turned around and presented the purse given by Prince Guo to the emperor.
"Master, this is the reward I received when I sent someone there."
The emperor asked without even looking up.
"How much is in it?"
"My Lord, there is a fifty-liang silver note inside."
Su Peisheng loves money, but he also knows that some money cannot be touched, especially the rewards from people with ulterior motives.
"Old Seventeen gave me a whole year's salary right away. He's really generous."
The emperor sighed with a dark face and asked Su Peisheng to keep the reward.
This money was a reward from others, and he had not yet fallen to the point of stealing the reward from a servant.
The master and servant were talking in the hall when little Xia Zi came in, bending over, to report.
"Your Majesty, news has come from Taiji Palace that Princess Longyue has awakened."
"Okay, Su Peisheng, come with me and take a look."
The princess who was murdered has regained consciousness, which is one of the best news in recent days.
The emperor, his mood slightly improved, put down the memorial and walked out.
Su Peisheng seized the opportunity to ask before leaving.
"Master, the meal will be served shortly. Would you like your meal to be brought to the Taiji Hall?"
"Let's take them together."
After the emperor nodded, Su Peisheng winked at Xiao Xia Zi, indicating that he must make sure this matter is done.
A Jin, who came to serve the meal to his master, saw Su Peisheng serving the emperor towards the harem, and silently kept this matter in his heart.
The mourning period for the empress dowager has not yet ended, so according to reason, the emperor cannot get close to women.
The only thing that kept him from even having dinner at this moment was Princess Longyue, born to Lady Zhen and still in a coma.
A Jin smiled faintly and glanced in the direction of the prince. The Fourth Prince really wasn't favored by the Emperor.
He had a high fever for several days and did not wake up, and the emperor never came to see him.
If Concubine Hua, who held the Phoenix Seal, had not sent a few palace maids to serve, Li Yu would not have been able to handle it alone.
When comparing the Prince's residence with the Taiji Hall, A Jin knew that this was a good opportunity for his master.
The emperor, who had just entered the Taiji Hall, had no idea that his two children were being targeted by someone with ulterior motives.
"Princess Lan, I heard that Longyue has woken up, but is it true?"
The emperor had not yet stepped into the east side hall when the voice came in.
"Your Majesty, Princess Longyue has indeed woken up."
Lan Fei replied with a smile.
"The princess knows that you, Noble Consort Hua, and Noble Consort Shu are thinking about her every day, and she is afraid that the elders will worry. Didn't she open her eyes when the two Noble Consorts visited her?"
"Do the two concubines also come to visit Longyue every day?"
This was the first time the emperor heard of this matter.
Su Peisheng, who followed into the East Side Hall, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, since Princess Longyue moved into the Taiji Hall, the two imperial concubines have come to visit the princess every day before dinner."
"I understand. Did Concubine Hui come to visit Longyue?"
The emperor asked casually.
Lan Fei subconsciously glanced at Su Peisheng, and seeing that he had no intention of responding, she smiled and changed the subject.
"Your Majesty, the princess hasn't gone to bed yet. Would you like to go in and take a look?"
"Okay, I'll go see Longyue."
The emperor, who knew many people, saw that the two did not answer, so he knew that Shen Meizhuang had never come to visit Longyue once.
He suppressed his dissatisfaction with Chuxiu Palace in his heart, and stretched out his hand to the little person sitting on the bed with a smile.
"Longyue, I am your royal father, do you remember?"
After figuring out that he was recuperating somewhere else, Longyue smiled and nodded, then put her little hand into the hand of the emperor, whom she had met several times.
"Father, have you been to the palace to see Longyue? Mother said you admired many of Longyue's novelties."
Not knowing how to describe it, Longyue opened his arms to gesture.
The emperor held her in his arms and weighed her gently.
"Longyue suffered a great punishment this time, and his health has improved a lot."
"Princess Lan, what did Zhang Wuwei say?"
"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Zhang said the princess is not seriously injured and needs careful nursing. A diet plan will be sent to you later."
Ulanara Sulan took care of the unconscious Longyue for several days and felt sorry for this child who had no biological mother to take care of him.
"I have already fed the princess some sweet porridge."
She saw Longyue, who was being held in her arms, yawning slightly, and whispered to him.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Zhang said that the princess should rest more. How about I help her get some rest?"
The emperor found it a little unbelievable.
"Longyue has been sleeping for several days, does he still need to rest?"
"Your Majesty, the princess has not been able to eat these past few days. She has been relying solely on ginseng soup to nourish herself, and she is still very weak."
Concubine Lan specifically asked Zhang Wuwei for advice on how to take care of the child.
After Longyue recovered and returned to Chuxiu Palace, she cleaned up the backyard and welcomed Wen Yi to move in.
Royal princes have to move out when they reach a certain age, but there is a precedent for princesses to live with their mothers until they get married.
"It is indeed my fault for neglecting it. I'd appreciate it if you could look after Longyue for a few more days."
When the emperor was having a meal, he took the initiative to pick up a few pieces of food for Concubine Lan to thank her for her care for Longyue.
He saw a familiar shadow in the quiet Lan Fei.
The emperor thought to himself, if he had followed Concubine Lan's wishes earlier and registered Longyue under her name, would Huanhuan's child have suffered less?
Then he shook his head in his heart. Shen Meizhuang and Huanhuan were like sisters, so Huanhuan felt relieved to leave the child to Shen Meizhuang's care.
After dinner, the emperor looked at the sleeping Longyue again and spoke softly.
"I still have things to do. I will come to visit Longyue tomorrow."
"I respectfully send you to your Majesty."
Lan Fei breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as she walked the person to the door.
The emperor stood at the fork in the road, looked around, and turned to the palace road on the left.
"Su Peisheng, I need to go to Chuxiu Palace to take a look. Tell the servants in the palace to be quiet and not to reveal our whereabouts."
When the master and servant quietly reached the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, they were talking inside.
"Master, news from Taiji Palace says the princess woke up before dinner. Do you want to go and visit her?"
