Xue Yu took the glass of water, thanked him, took a sip, and suddenly started coughing violently.
Xue Yu was a person who had learned the factory master's ability to make a real play out of his fake appearance. Therefore, it was true that he was beaten for pleading for Qiao Gui, and it was also true that he was sick.
Seeing that he was coughing so hard, Su Fengyi was afraid that he would spill water on the quilt, so she helped him get a cup and patted his back:
"Don't be anxious. Drink slowly. When this matter is settled, go find Judge Liao and have him treated properly."
Xue Yu took Su Fengyi's hand, drank the water slowly and obediently, and coughed a few times.
Seeing that he was so ill, Su Fengyi put the cup back on the table and asked worriedly:
"Do you have the strength to get up?"
Xue Yu smiled and said:
"I still have the energy to see my godfather to his grave. Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will come right after changing my clothes."
Su Fengyi left the room and asked Lu Hong:
"You and Judge Liao are both on duty in the palace tonight. Have you arranged everything?"
Lu Hong nodded, took out a handkerchief, pulled Su Fengyi's hand, and wiped the water off her fingers.
This was the water that was stained when he got the cup for Xue Yu just now. Su Fengyi herself didn't care. Seeing Lu Hong wiping it so seriously, she smiled and said:
"You really treat me like a child, but I'm not a child anymore."
This time, Lu Hong neither nodded nor shook his head. Instead, he carefully wiped the water off her fingers, then took the handkerchief and said:
"know."
Su Fengyi looked at the flower on his handkerchief, which was the same one she had embroidered when she was a child. It was embroidered crookedly, with missing stitches and threads, and was sloppily done. She said helplessly:
"Why are you still using this? The new one I gave you before doesn't suit your taste? You haven't even used it.
I have a few new embroiderers in my house, and their embroidery skills are better than the previous ones. Since you don't like the previous ones, I'll have someone choose some better ones for you. This handkerchief is old, don't use it anymore."
Among the three generations of women in the royal family, when it comes to needlework, Empress Jiang is mediocre, Empress Xie is mediocre, and Su Fengyi knows nothing at all.
It’s true that each generation is worse than the previous one.
When Su Fengyi was a child, she did needlework for a while because she thought it was interesting. But she got bored of it after a few days, gave up, and never picked it up again.
The handkerchief in Lu Hong's hand was one that Su Fengyi had practiced making at that time. The material was top-notch, and the thread was also the best. After so many years, the color was still as bright as new. It was just that the embroidery technique was almost like no skill at all.
Su Fengyi embroidered several handkerchiefs, each of which was not very good in its own way. After she finished, she didn't like them and was embarrassed to use them, so she gave them all to Lu Hong.
Lu Hong blushed and refused to accept it.
He is three years older than the eldest princess, and grew up in the palace, a world of fame and fortune, so he understood matters between men and women earlier.
The handkerchief is a token of love between a man and a woman, and Lu Hong was afraid that if it got out and was privately passed around, it would affect the eldest princess's reputation. After all, the clothes were allocated from the eldest princess's allotment, but the handkerchief was made by the eldest princess herself.
As a result, the princess blocked the door and insisted that he take it back:
"You don't want to accept it, is it because you think my work is not good-looking? If you don't use mine, whose else do you want to use? If you don't accept it, I will give it to others!"
Lu Hong immediately snatched the handkerchief and hid it, not leaving it to anyone else.
So this time when Su Fengyi asked him to change the handkerchief and not use the old one anymore, Lu Hong quickly put the handkerchief away, fearing that if he was a little slow, it would be snatched away by the eldest princess.
Su Fengyi was really helpless:
"Okay, okay, you keep it, and remember to use the new one too."
Lu Hong shook his head: "No need."
After a while he said again:
"like."
Okay, really, Su Fengyi really admired him, so she just let him do what he wanted.
The two waited outside for a while, and Xue Yu pushed the door open.
Xue Yu changed into a new set of clothes and a new pair of shoes. His hair was combed neatly. Although he looked sick, he was clean and presentable from head to toe.
Lu Hong gave a fish talisman to Xue Yu. Xue Yu took it and kept it, then bowed to Su Fengyi and Lu Hong, and left the palace alone.
……
Xue Yu rode all the way to Qiao's house, and Xiu Gu took him to see Qiao Gui, who was entertaining guests in his study.
Xue Yu walked to the door and heard Qiao Gui saying:
"Now that everything is ready, let's get started tomorrow."
Xiu Gu knocked on the door:
"Husband, Xiao Xue is here."
There was a pause in the study. After a while, a stranger pushed the door open, nodded to Xiu Gu and Xue Yu, and left in a hurry.
Qiao Gui called Xue Yu from the study:
"Xue Yu, come in. I heard that you were beaten a while ago. I was worried. Are you feeling better now?"
Xue Yu put on a happy smile, pushed the door open and said anxiously:
"Godfather, godfather, great news! The emperor has ordered godfather to enter the palace tomorrow!"
Qiao Gui was standing and writing, and was overjoyed when he heard this:
"really!"
When Xue Yu entered the room, he was so excited that he almost tripped over the threshold. Qiao Gui hurried over to hold him up and said:
"Don't panic when something happens. Stand still. Tell me what happened slowly and from the beginning."
Xue Yu coughed, helped Qiao Gui to stand steadily, then took out a fish charm from his sleeve and gave it to Qiao Gui:
"Yes, I was injured a few days ago and couldn't get out of bed, so I couldn't see the emperor. The eunuch took the godfather's letter, but he couldn't find a chance to see the emperor, so he delayed the godfather's business.
Today I was able to get up, so I took the letter to see the emperor. When the emperor saw the letter from my godfather, he was so moved that he cried on the spot and ordered my godfather to come to the palace to meet him tomorrow.
The Emperor was worried that Godfather had left the palace in a hurry and would not be able to enter the palace tomorrow without a certificate, so he ordered me to bring the fish token to Godfather. "
Qiao Gui took the fish token and saw that it was prepared by the emperor for the imperial guards. This was so that in case of any emergency, the imperial guards could enter and leave the palace unimpeded at night. It was an extremely important thing, but he actually gave it to him!
You know, even when he was the most favored, the emperor refused to let him have any contact with the imperial guards, let alone such an important fish token.
This is really weird.
Qiao Gui became suspicious. He was not worried that Xue Yu was deceiving him. He was only worried that Xue Yu was too honest and was deceived.
Qiao Gui asked:
"Did the emperor give you this fish talisman himself, or did someone else tell you? Did you hear the emperor tell you that I must enter the palace tomorrow, or did someone else tell you?"
Xue Yu looked sickly, and replied innocently and seriously:
"The emperor read the letter and told me personally. He was very moved. He wanted to find a waist badge but didn't have one, so he took out the fish token and gave it to me on the spot, and asked me to tell my godfather that I would enter the palace tomorrow.
Godfather, the emperor is still thinking about you. Do you think there is something wrong with this fish token? Did the emperor take it by mistake? "
Since Xue Yu had seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, Qiao Gui completely put aside his doubts. The more he listened, the more excited he became. He patted Xue Yu on the shoulder:
"That's right, that's right, Xue Yu, you really are my lucky star, hahahahaha!
"Okay, okay, you stay in the palace and wait for your godfather. You have suffered a lot during this period. When your godfather comes back, he will definitely support you!"
Based on Qiao Gui's understanding of the emperor, the emperor was such a moody person who did not know the seriousness of the matter. It was normal for him to take the fish talisman and give it to Xue Yu when he was excited.
After Xue Yu left, Qiao Gui held the fish talisman and looked at it for a long time. He was reluctant to put it down even to eat and bathe.
This fish token brought infinite hope to Qiao Gui. It seemed that the emperor still valued Qiao Gui in his heart, and the blood he shed to write the blood letter was not shed in vain!
That palace is destined to belong to him!
In order to leave a good impression on the emperor the next day, Qiao Gui went to bed early. In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard Xiu Gu crying and knocking on the door:
"Husband! Husband! Come quickly, something bad has happened! Xiaohu is suddenly coughing up blood!"
