Chapter 328 She Keeps Blaming Me
Su Peisheng waited outside the thatched cottage for a while. Seeing that there was no movement inside, he whispered a reminder to Li Yu who was waiting anxiously on the side.
"The meals at the thatched cottage have been delivered. Go to the prince's residence and get the things that the Fourth Prince usually uses."
Judging from the master's actions, it seems that he wants to keep the Fourth Prince away from other people.
The master was soft-hearted and wanted to reward the Fourth Prince under the pretext of mourning for him.
If the Fourth Prince can endure this hardship, he will definitely be awarded the title of Gushan Beizi.
"Thank you for your advice, General Manager. I will go to the prince's residence right away. Here..."
Li Yu stopped talking and looked at Su Peisheng eagerly.
"Don't worry, I will be here guarding you until you come back."
Su Peisheng waved his hand, signaling Li Yu to go and come back quickly.
"Xia Zi, go to the imperial kitchen and get a bowl of hot porridge and some sugar cakes."
Doctor Zhang once mentioned casually during a chat that warm porridge and sweet meals can improve people's mood.
I hope that after having his midnight snack, the Fourth Prince can understand his master’s painstaking efforts.
Su Peisheng has been following his master since he was a child and knows him very well.
The master's attitude just now was very clear. The man in the thatched cottage was destined to have no chance of becoming the emperor.
The late emperor lived a long life, and when the master ascended the throne, he was almost fifty years old.
In the past few years, both the court and the harem have been unstable, and Su Peisheng's eyes darkened.
He would never allow another person like the adopted Third Prince to hurt his master's feelings.
Only if the master lives long can he have a secure old age.
The ambitious Fourth Prince sets his sights on Concubine Lan, who comes from a prominent family, and also makes Su Peisheng notice something that he has always ignored.
The master will eventually grow old, and the previous dynasty will sooner or later bring the issue of the crown prince to the surface.
The Seventh Prince had a brain injury when he was born and has slow reactions, so he can be ruled out directly.
The Sixth Prince, born to Concubine Shu, is steady and studious, while the Eighth Prince is lively and clever.
If the emperor has no more children, then Concubine Shu will most likely be the biggest winner.
Su Peisheng, who had figured it out, decided to raise the status of Yongshou Palace in his heart.
Su Peisheng, who had a biased mind, looked at the Fourth Prince differently. He regretted his meddling just now.
As soon as Li Yu came back, Su Peisheng bowed towards the thatched cottage.
"Fourth Prince, I still have to serve the Emperor, so I'll take my leave now."
"If you need anything, just send someone to let me know."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hoarse voice came from inside.
"Hongli thanks Eunuch Su for his kindness. Li Yu, please escort Eunuch Su on his way."
"Fourth Prince, you still need help here. I have a lantern with me so I can see the way back."
Su Peisheng quickly refused.
How could a servant like him dare to ask the Fourth Prince to send someone back?
If this were seen by the emperor who was in a bad mood, it would only bring trouble to myself.
Su Peisheng glanced at the thatched cottage which was getting brighter and brighter, then slipped away with the lantern in hand.
Hongli learned from Li Yu that Su Peisheng had gone far away, and shouted sternly.
"Yu Ying'er, kneel down!"
If this slut hadn't insisted that he respond to Su Peisheng's words, he wouldn't have suffered the embarrassment of being rejected.
"I'll give you a chance to explain."
Yu Ying'er touched the ground with her forehead and replied with reason and evidence.
"Master, I overheard someone say that Su Peisheng has a residence in the Yangxin Palace. This shows how much the Emperor values him."
"Su Peisheng has been serving the emperor since he was young. It's no exaggeration to say that he is the emperor's eyes and ears."
"If he is narrow-minded and speaks nonsense in front of the emperor, I am worried that the emperor will have a bad opinion of you."
"Slave..."
After hearing this, Hongli's anger subsided a lot.
"Get up and tell me everything you have heard about the Emperor and Su Peisheng."
He still doesn't give in!
How could a small Gushan Beizi offset the suffering he had endured over the years!
While Yu Ying'er was telling the news she had heard, she handed the warm teacup to the Fourth Prince.
While Hongli and his servant were talking in the thatched cottage, Su Peisheng, who had hurried back to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, took the teacup from Xiao Dongzi's hand and entered the main hall.
"Your Majesty, please have some tea to moisten your throat."
The emperor, who was reviewing memorials, asked without raising his head.
"How's it going over there, Fourth?"
"Your Majesty, everything is fine with the Fourth Prince. When I left, a maid brought by his personal eunuch was tidying up his thatched cottage."
"From a distance, I see that the candlelight in the thatched cottage is much brighter. I believe it will not hurt Fourth Prince's eyes."
"only......"
Su Peisheng uttered these two words softly and said nothing more.
The emperor paused holding the pen and glared at Su Peisheng, who was holding the teacup, with dissatisfaction.
"Just what? Have you, a slave dog, also learned to deceive me?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. You heard that the Fourth Prince injured his knee while keeping vigil, so you asked me to send some ointment. I was worried about my servants' work, so I went to ask the doctor who treated the Fourth Prince. The doctor said that the Fourth Prince asked him if the Imperial Hospital had any ointment to heal the wound."
Su Peisheng caused trouble for the Fourth Prince without leaving any trace, and then stood by quietly.
After a long time, he heard the steady voice of his master.
"Su Peisheng, has the old doctor agreed?"
"Your Majesty, the old doctor is not good at this."
The implication is that he did not agree.
Those old guys in the Imperial Hospital are very experienced and understand better than anyone else.
How could he dare to take the risk of treating the Fourth Prince's scar without the Emperor's order?
"I heard that Wen Shichu, who treated Madam Zhang, returned to the capital a few years ago. He is an excellent doctor. Find someone to tell Hongli about him."
News came before the summer holidays that Wen Shichu had just arrived in the capital and, without even having time to return home, he rushed to Ganlu Temple and flew a kite at the foot of Lingyun Peak.
If Wen Shichu had been so tactless as to make scar-relief ointment for the fourth brother, he would have his own ways to deal with disobedient people.
"The slave obeys."
Su Peisheng agreed and placed the teacup next to the emperor.
Before the Auspicious Gate was closed, An Lingrong learned everything that happened outside Shoukang Palace, including what the emperor said to the Fourth Prince.
"Gushan Beizi? The Emperor seems to be quite concerned about the Fourth Prince."
An Lingrong casually took off the silver chrysanthemum hairpin on her head.
"Bao Que, the Fourth Prince is not an honest man. Let our people keep watching him."
"Prince Guo has an expert by his side. Tell the people below to act according to circumstances and not get themselves into trouble."
"Princess Lan and Noble Lady He should also continue to watch."
She would never allow anyone to ruin her sons' future.
"The servant understands."
Baoque placed more than one person around Concubine Lan and Concubine He.
Although they cannot serve closely, they have a name in front of their respective masters.
As the night deepened, the lights in the palaces gradually went out.
Chuntao was awakened by a scream of "Ah" in her daze, and she quickly got up from the footstool.
"Princess, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"
Lan Fei opened her eyes with difficulty, threw herself into Chun Tao's arms in panic and kept repeating the same thing.
"She blames me...she keeps blaming me...for not having..."
