Pampering the outside room alone? I entered the East Palace to pass on the sick and weak prince

"Heng'er?"

A smile appeared on her dignified face: "I heard that you entered the palace today, and my aunt is planning to come and see you."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand.

Yuzhi handed over an exquisite food box next to her.

Su Liuer took it and handed it to Murong Heng.

"You used to love the pastries made by your aunt. Try them."

Murong Heng looked at the food box but did not take it.

Yuzhi couldn't help but persuade.

"Your Highness King Ling, the Queen heard that you were coming over today, so she did it in a hurry, a little hastily, and her fingers were burned..."

"Yuzhi!"

Su Liuer glared at her.

Yuzhi immediately fell silent.

Murong Heng glanced at her fingers holding the food box: "Auntie's hand is injured?"

"It's not really an injury, it's just a burn. People around me made a fuss."

"My son lives in the East Palace. If my aunt wants to make cakes, she can send someone to deliver them. There is no need to be in such a hurry."

"Yes, aunt knows."

Su Liuer smiled and shook her head.

This child is said to live in the East Palace, but he has often been missing recently.

It's hard to even meet him.

Murong Heng reached out to take the food box and opened the lid with his long fingers.

There are pastries of different shapes inside, all of which are his favorite flavors.

He reached out, picked up an osmanthus cake, and took a bite.

"It tastes very good. My aunt's craftsmanship has improved again."

"If you like it, come and sit with your aunt often."

"it is good."

Murong Heng nodded slightly, then handed the food box to Leng Ye behind him and left.

Su Liuer also stepped into Qianyuan Hall.

Seeing her happy face, Emperor Renjing asked.

"Why is the queen in such a good mood today?"

"I just saw Heng'er outside the palace."

Su Liuer smiled and said, "I also ate the pastries made by my concubine and praised my concubine for her good craftsmanship."

"What did I think it was? It turns out it was Heng'er who praised you."

Emperor Renjing also showed a smile: "Do you know why Heng'er came to see me today?"

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Heng'er wants me to marry him."

Hearing this, Su Liuer looked surprised: "Marriage? Which noble girl is he going to marry?"

"Shen Ruoxi."

"Shen Ruoxi..."

Su Liuer frowned slightly.

It was a bit unexpected, but it was also expected. After all, there were some clues when we were at the racecourse last time.

Su Liuer said softly.

"Then what does the emperor think?"

Emperor Renjing thought for a moment and then said.

"Heng'er wants to marry Shen Ruoxi. Does the Queen think I should agree?"

Su Liuer plucked the Buddhist beads in her hand and said slowly.

"Yu Gong said that Heng'er's move was not appropriate. Shen Ruoxi, a peaceful woman, had just reconciled with the fourth prince and then immediately married Heng'er. This would definitely attract criticism and damage their reputations.

However, it was not easy for Heng'er to meet someone he loved. As a parent, it would be cruel if he tried to stop her. "

Emperor Renjing nodded.

"What the queen said is exactly what I was thinking about."

Su Liuer said.

"If Heng'er really wants to marry me, I think... Your Majesty, it is better not to stop him. I have watched Heng'er grow up. This child has been cold-tempered since he was a child. He feels that no one can enter his heart. If it is true, It’s a blessing to have someone who knows the warmth and coldness.”

Emperor Renjing suddenly turned his head.

There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes seemed curious.

"Didn't you want Wan Siyu to marry Heng'er last time?"

"My concubine did have this idea before. Siyu fell in love with Heng'er wholeheartedly, so I thought of bringing them together. But now that Heng'er already has someone he likes, why should I make things difficult for him."

"The Queen sincerely considers Heng'er."

Emperor Renjing glanced at her lightly.

Then he gently tapped the armrest with his fingers and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Su Liuer hesitated for a moment and then said.

"The Emperor has other thoughts on this matter?"

Emperor Renjing's eyes were dark and gleaming.

"Actually, I have a suitable candidate in mind for Princess Heng'er."

He said slowly.

"Lin Xiuyi, the daughter of Grand Tutor Lin Wei, is more suitable than Shen Ruoxi."

Su Liuer lowered her eyes.

"Then what does the emperor mean?"

Emperor Renjing said suddenly.

"Heng'er seems to have never met Lin Xiuyi?"

"I must have encountered him at palace banquets, but Heng'er may not have taken it seriously."

"Then let him take it seriously."

Emperor Renjing said: "Lin Xiuyi has a beautiful appearance but is dignified and elegant. I don't know how many aristocratic children in Kyoto have asked for marriage, but she has always stayed in the boudoir. Taifu Lin also mentioned to me that Lin Xiuyi fell in love with Heng'er, so she never married.

Maybe Heng'er would like her even more after seeing her.

Taifu Lin used to be my companion, and he has been friends with me since childhood. It would be a good thing if we could get married to Heng'er. "

After saying that, he turned his head slightly and said to Su Liuer.

"Queen, I'll leave this matter to you. I remember, your birthday will be in half a month. I just want to take this opportunity to let Heng'er meet Lin Xiuyi."

Su Liuer agreed.

"I obey my orders."

After the emperor and empress chatted for a while, Su Liuer returned to his Changqiu Palace.

As she walked on the road, she sighed tiredly.

Yuzhi said with concern.

"What's wrong, empress?"

"It's nothing, I just feel a little tired after sitting for a long time."

Yuzhi supported her.

After a while, he couldn't help but ask.

"Queen, I don't understand. Shen Tianrong has a very good relationship with the emperor. Is there any difference between marrying her daughter to be Princess Ling and marrying Taifu Lin's daughter?"

"Of course it's different."

Su Liuer chuckled: "Teacher Lin, he has no military power."

Yuzhi was stunned for a moment, then hesitated.

"My slave understands, but not very well."

"The harem and the former dynasty are inextricably linked. There are some things that you only need to know a little bit about. You don't need to know too much."

Su Liuer plucked the Buddhist beads in her hand, a soft light overflowing from her eyes.

"All I want in this life is that my children can be safe and sound."

After Shen Ruoxi came out of the Hou Mansion, she went to the spice shop and carefully selected some perfume ingredients.

By the time I made my selection, it was already getting a little dark.

Just as he was about to take the carriage back, he suddenly saw a circle of officers and soldiers approaching the door of the shop opposite, surrounding the medicine shop.

The road ahead was suddenly blocked.

Shen Ruoxi ordered.

"Taoye, go and see what's going on."

Taoye got out of the car, went over to ask, and ran back.

"Miss, let me ask you clearly. This medicine shop is accepting the officer for interrogation. He is said to be asking him to provide the medicinal material account book to the Crown Prince of Wudinghou Mansion."

Shen Ruoxi reacted.

"Is the owner of this pharmacy named Lu?"

Taoye nodded: "Yes."

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi was determined.

It seems that the medicine Du Yishan used for Qin Chengxuan was obtained from here.

The officer came over for interrogation, probably to determine if there were any other suspects.

"Then wait."

Shen Ruoxi sat in the carriage, holding the jade bracelet given by Du Yishan and looking at it in her hand.

Everything in the Hou Mansion today was recalled in his mind unconsciously.

The more I think about it, the more unnatural it feels.

After the official left, she got off the car and went to the pharmacy.
