Chapter 515: Not a Corrupt Person
After listening to Yan Qing's story about the Zhao Mansion, Su Lingyue was filled with sighs.
Behind the life that others envy, there are such calculations and hatred.
Then Mr. Zhao deserves what he gets.
But since Zhao Xingzhou's servant came here to ask for help, she must protect Master Zhao. As for the rest, she can wait until Zhao Xingzhou returns to Beijing.
Su Lingyue said to Yan Qing, "Let's leave it at that for now. They can decide their family affairs themselves when Young Master Zhao comes back. You can go to the Zhao family again in a few days to make sure Madam Zhao doesn't break her promise."
"I understand, Princess." Yan Qing responded, and then asked: "Why does Princess interfere in the affairs of the Zhao family?"
Su Lingyue's eyes lit up slightly, and she smiled and said, "Young Master Zhao returned to the Western Territory this time to help the prince find medicine. Within my ability, I will naturally make sure that he has no worries."
"So that's how it is!" Yan Qing's eyes lit up, "If he can really find it, I will not only save Mr. Zhao, but also the chickens and dogs of the Zhao family."
Su Lingyue chuckled, "That's not necessary. If you interfere too much in the Zhao Mansion, they will report you to the police and arrest you."
Yan Qing scratched his head, "Haha, that's true."
As she spoke, Su Lingyue sniffed and couldn't help but cover her nose, "Hey! Yan Qing, you smell so bad."
"is it?"
Yan Qing raised his arm and sniffed.
Sure enough, the smell of that room was all over my body.
He looked at Xiao Yu pitifully, humming, "Woo woo, Prince, I'm not clean anymore."
Su Lingyue was amused by his teasing and chuckled while holding her stomach.
Amid the laughter in the hall, Xiao Yu stared at Su Lingyue quietly. The deep and calm surface of his eyes rippled and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
It turns out that she did all this for medicine.
They all kept him in their hearts and never forgot him for a moment.
The uneasiness brought by the passage of time was calmed down again, and the heart that was tormented by uneasiness was beating happily in his chest at this moment.
Being valued is such a joy.
Xiao Yu's eyes were gentle, and he said softly, "Go take a shower and have your meal. Follow me after you finish eating. The princess asked the kitchen to heat up your lunch."
Yan Qing rubbed his stomach. He had vomited all the breakfast, so he was really hungry now.
"okay!"
Yan Qing responded, took brisk steps, and walked out quickly with a smile on his face.
After Yan Qing went out, Su Lingyue was about to ask Xiao Yu where he was going, and he stretched out his hand to Su Lingyue.
"What's wrong?" Su Lingyue asked, habitually putting her white little hand into the big hand, and then she stood up with the force and fell into a strong embrace.
Xiao Yu said nothing. He lifted her small chin and kissed her cherry red lips, biting them lightly.
My chest is burning.
At this moment, he wanted to swallow the person in his arms.
……
After a while, Xiao Yu let her go and let her catch her breath.
The cold lips moved from the cheek to the ear, Xiao Yu bit it gently, his voice was extremely gentle and tender, "Didn't you say you were going to deliver the medicine? Your husband will accompany you."
……
In the carriage, Su Lingyue played with Xiao Yu's big hands, staring at him again and again.
"Why did the prince suddenly change his mind?" Su Lingyue couldn't help but ask curiously.
Xiao Yu said in a rather casual tone, "I am happy with it."
Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu in disbelief.
When did he become so willful!
He takes advantage of the fact that he is a patient and does whatever he wants!
Forget it, he is a patient after all.

With Li Jing away, the guards of the Taifu's family, Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue, were very relieved. When going out, Xiao Yu asked Yan Qing to serve as the groom and guard, and Su Lingyue brought Cai with him.
The He family father and son, as well as He Zhang, were on duty and had not returned yet. The servant invited Su Lingyue and Xiao Yu into the hall, and after paying their respects, he went to invite the mistress of the house.
Soon, the second wife of the He family, Xu, came out with the servant to greet them. "Why are you here, my lord and princess? I hope you can forgive me for not welcoming you from afar."
Xiao Yu said calmly: "It's okay, if the princess wants to see the young lady, I will accompany her here."
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "A Ning is in her yard. I'll have someone call her over right away."
Su Lingyue hadn't seen Wan Ning for a while, and she wanted to have a private conversation with her, so she said, "No need, I'll go find her later."
Knowing that Su Lingyue and Qin Wanning had a good relationship, Xu did not stop them.
Su Lingyue brought Caidie and, led by Xu's maid, went to Qinfang Courtyard, while Yan Qing stayed in the hall to accompany Xiao Yu.
Doctor Lu stayed in the He Mansion for more than ten days to take care of Tutor He's health. Although Yan Qing would often report the results, there was no good news, and Xiao Yu was also very worried.
"How is the health of the Master?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Your Highness, my father is in much better spirits than before, but he is still bedridden."
Xu's answer was the same as the news Yan Qing brought back.
Now that Su Heng has returned to the court, only Tutor He can compete with him. If he falls ill, Su Heng will no longer have any constraints, and finding evidence will become even more difficult.
This time he came here to confirm this matter.
If Tutor He is unable to attend court in the future, he must make preparations early.
Xiao Yu asked: "Is Doctor Lu here?"
When mentioning Doctor Lu, Xu's words were full of respect. "Yes, Doctor Lu lives next door to my father, so it's convenient for him to treat me. I'll take Your Highness there right away."
Led by Xu, Xiao Yu came to the courtyard where Tutor He lived. As soon as he entered, he saw Doctor Lu pounding medicine in the courtyard, with Ling Ling helping him.
"Doctor Lu, Miss Ling'er, they are busy!"
Doctor Lu and Ling Ling turned around and saw Xu and Xiao Yu beside her.
"Why is the prince here?"
Hearing Ling Ling's voice, Doctor Lu turned around and saw Xiao Yu coming towards him.
Doctor Lu and Ling Ling put down their work, stood up and greeted Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu raised his hand to signal them to excuse themselves from the formalities. "Uncle Lu, there's no need to be polite. Are you feeling well these days?"
They hadn't seen each other for more than ten days. Although Yan Qing often came to report his safety, Doctor Lu was still thinking about Xiao Yu. He didn't expect that when they met, Xiao Yu would be the first to care about his situation.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Xiao Ling'er has taken good care of me."
"Yes, I'm here!" Ling Ling agreed proudly.
As he spoke, Doctor Lu naturally picked up Xiao Yu's hand and began to take his pulse.
Xiao Yu stood there, raised his arm, and let Doctor Lu take his pulse.
After a while, Doctor Lu finally let go of Xiao Yu's wrist with satisfaction, "Well, not bad, you haven't ruined your body these days. Miss Yue didn't come?"
Xiao Yu put down his wrist and said, "She went to see Madam He."
Seeing that Doctor Lu didn't ask him, Yan Qing asked with a smile: "Master Lu, why don't you ask me?"
Doctor Lu waved his hand in disdain and said, "Go and have fun. You come here every few days. You are as strong as a calf. There is no need for anyone to worry about you."
Xiao Yu was worried about Master He, so he didn't exchange pleasantries with Doctor Lu. He just asked, "How is Master He doing?"
Usually, Xiao Yu would not come with Su Lingyue when she came to He Mansion. It turned out that she came today for this purpose. The tacit understanding they had gained over the years made it easy for him to understand what Xiao Yu was thinking.
Doctor Lu said, "He's awake. The servant is massaging him inside. I'm going to give him acupuncture. Your Majesty, please go in and talk to the Grand Tutor. He's been cooped up in the room for many days. I'm sure the Grand Tutor will be happy."
"Okay." Xiao Yu responded calmly.
Tutor He was lying on the bed, with two servants beside him, one massaging his upper body and the other massaging his lower body.
There was incense burning in the bedroom, but it still couldn't block out the strong smell of medicine.
Xiao Yu has been taking medicine for many years and doesn't feel anything about it.
"Father, His Royal Highness Prince Su is here to see you."
Tutor He was not asleep. After Xu finished speaking, he opened his eyes and turned his head with difficulty to look outside.
Seeing Xiao Yu, he struggled to get up and said, "Your Highness, I am sorry for the rudeness."
Xiao Yu raised his hand to stop him, "Master, there's no need to be so polite. Just lie down. Are you feeling better?"
Master He adjusted his body and lay down again, his old face full of gratitude, "Thanks to Doctor Lu for saving my life, I am very grateful!"
Xiao Yu smiled faintly and said, "That's good! The Grand Tutor is a close minister of Daning. If he can recover soon, it will be a blessing for the people."
Master He sighed softly, "I'm afraid the people will be disappointed. I'm afraid that I, an old minister, will be unable to walk in the future. Time is unforgiving! I'm getting old!"
Doctor Lu comforted him: "Old man, you have to relax. There is no definitive conclusion on this matter. Maybe it will get better someday in the future!"
Still thinking about Xiao Yu's business, Doctor Lu said to Xu who was standing beside him, "Second Madam, Ling'er, I want to give the old man acupuncture. You should step aside first."
After the two of them went out, Doctor Lu asked the servant to go out as well and close the door.
Seeing that everyone irrelevant had left, Doctor Lu propped himself up and sat up, then moved to the edge of the bed and sat down. There was no sign of a stroke at all.
Yan Qing opened his eyes wide, full of disbelief, "Master He, what are you doing?"
There was also confusion in Xiao Yu's eyes.
Seeing them like this, Master He smiled warmly and explained, "Thanks to Doctor Lu's excellent medical skills, this old minister has avoided any root cause of illness."
Xiao Yu was puzzled and asked in a deep voice: "Why did the Master hide this from others?"
Grand Tutor He stopped laughing and said with a serious look, "When Su Heng returns to the court, he will surely take action against all those who have reported him. I am avoiding him for my own safety. Before my wish is fulfilled, I don't want to see my ancestors so early. In addition, he will relax if there is no one to check him in the court."
He looked at Xiao Yu with a serious look, "Your Highness has been trying every possible way to overthrow Su Heng. Since I have agreed to lend a helping hand to Your Highness, I will do my best."
"If the maggots attached to the bones are not removed, the country of Daning will never be stable!"
So that’s it!
Yan Qing sighed in his heart, he is worthy of being a veteran of three dynasties, to be able to stand firm in the court for so many years, he must have some strategies.
What Master He did was very much to Xiao Yu's liking.
But there is one thing that must be considered, "Su Heng is already the most powerful person in the world. Now that the Grand Tutor has left the court, I'm afraid your colleagues will be walking on thin ice in the future."
He Taifu stated generously, "People's hearts are hard to predict. What this old minister and the prince have planned cannot afford any mistakes in the future. After this incident, we will select the ministers who will be our backbone in the future, so that Daning can return to a bright and peaceful world."
These passionate speeches suddenly gave Xiao Yu a feeling of respect and surprise.
In the past, he thought that Master He had only corrupt loyalty in his heart, but he didn't expect that he would be flexible.
Xiao Yu raised his lips and said, "This method is very good. I am willing to try it with Master Taifu!"
