Ye Zhen left the palace the next day. Although the Empress Dowager wanted to keep her for a few days, she used the excuse that she was worried about her eldest brother at home and wanted to go back to see him. The Empress Dowager had to let her leave the palace and rewarded her with a lot of bird's nest and gelatin.
The Emperor also rewarded Lu Lingzhi with a lot of things and made him a great general.
The Lu family was in the limelight for a while.
This should have been a joyous occasion. If it had been any other time, Old Madam Lu would definitely have held a banquet to celebrate. However, Lu Ling's poison had yet to be cured, and to the Lu Clan, it was like a huge rock pressing on their hearts. Naturally, there was no such thing as a banquet to celebrate.
Ye Rou first went to visit Old Madam Lu. She found that in just one day, Old Madam Lu had actually aged so much. She looked haggard and tired. "Grandmother, are you alright? Did you not rest well yesterday?"
Madame Wang, who was accompanying Old Madame Lu in the room, smiled and said, "Your Highness is back. I thought you would stay in the palace for a few days. Don't worry, we will take care of Old Madame at home. You have to coax the Empress Dowager. This is the most important thing."
Ye Zhen looked at Wang Shi coldly and ignored her innuendo.
Old Madam Lu looked at Ye Zhen with a smile, "Didn't the Empress Dowager ask you to stay in the palace for a few days? Why are you back? "
"I was worried about my eldest brother and you, so I came back." When Ye Zhen saw the old lady like this, she thought that she would have to give her some water with spirit spring water.
"I'm fine. It's just that I slept a little late last night, so I don't have much energy today." Old Madam Lu smiled and said, "Your eldest brother is better today. He just came to pay his respects to me."
Now was not the time for the poison to break out, so Lu Lingzhi naturally looked fine. Ye Zhen smiled and said, "That's good. My eldest brother will be here in a while."
"Your elder brother is now a general. The emperor has rewarded him with a lot of things, including a lot of medicinal herbs. Your mother and Doctor Qi are taking care of Yanzhi since yesterday. When you go later, let them have a good rest." Old Madam Lu said.
Ye Rou nodded. "Yes, Grandmother."
Madam Wang curled her lips and said, "We also want to go and take care of Yanzhi, but we're not doctors. We'll just be a burden if we go."
"Second Aunt, you are already doing me a favor by not causing trouble." Ye Zhen said faintly.
Madam Wang choked on her words. Her eyebrows were full of indignation.
Ye Zhen persuaded Old Madam Lu to rest. Wang Shi originally had something to tell the old lady. "Yao Yao, Old Madam has me here. You can postpone it."
"Grandmother didn't rest well last night. She can't be tired today." Ye Zhen didn't know what Madam Wang was thinking, but looking at her appearance, it was obvious that she didn't really care about the old lady.
Old Madam Lu said to Madam Wang, "Aren't you going to leave in two days? Go, there are three branches here. You and Second Brother can go to Jinkou City. "
Madam Wang cursed in her heart. How could they leave the capital at this time? What if Lu Lingzhi kicked the bucket after they left? Who would get the title of nobility then? He wasn't married yet, so he had to pass the title to his brother. Even if she didn't fight for her own son, she had to fight for the second branch.
"Mother, how can we go to Jinkou City with peace of mind now? With things like this, we can't lose another pillar of support in the family. Now, we have to rely on our husband to make decisions both inside and outside," Madam Wang said.
Old Madam Lu didn't say anything, but said to Ye Zhen, "Help me to the bed to rest."
Ye Zhen pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, grandmother, I'll make you another tranquilizer tea. After you drink it, you can have a good sleep."
"Just ask a maid to cook it." Old Madam Lu smiled.
"I'll cook it myself." Ye Zhen said. Otherwise, how could she add spirit spring water?
Seeing the close relationship between the grandmother and granddaughter, Madam Wang curled her lips disdainfully. The old lady was indeed partial to the third branch. Otherwise, how could she treat Lu Yaoyao so differently? Even the original Imperial Concubine was not so close to the old lady.
While Ye Zhen was cooking the medicine, Madam Wang sat beside the old lady's bed. "Mother, can Yanzhi really get better?"
Old Madam Lu snorted with a sullen face, "Yanzhi will definitely get better! I know what you are thinking in your heart. You don't even need to think about it. It will never be your turn. "
Madam Wang's face alternated between blue and white. She really didn't expect that the old lady would not be confused at all. She hadn't even spoken yet, but she had already seen through everything.
"Mother, I haven't said anything yet." Madam Wang said awkwardly, "How do you know what I'm going to say?"
Old Madam Lu closed her eyes, "Do you think I don't know what you want to say?"
Madam Wang really didn't dare to say anything more. "Mother, then you rest. I won't disturb you."
"Set off for Jinkou City with the second son. The backbone of the family is still fine." Old Madam Lu said without opening her eyes.
Madam Wang fled with a pale face, passing by Ye Zhen, who had just returned from cooking medicine.
Ye Zhen served Old Madam Lu the medicine. "What's wrong with Second Aunt? She doesn't look very good."
"She's probably not feeling well." Old Madam Lu smiled faintly, drank the medicine, and let Ye Zhen visit Lu Lingzhi.
Ye Zhen watched Old Madam Lu fall asleep before leaving. She didn't want to see Lu Lingzhi very much, but thinking of Pei Shi's hard work in taking care of him, she had to go to her.
Lu Lingzhi looked more energetic today than he had two days ago. He was basking in the sun in the yard. When he saw Ye Zhen coming, his thin handsome face showed a gentle smile. "Yao Yao, why are you back?"
"Eldest brother looks good today." Ye Zhen smiled back at him and glanced behind him. "Are my mother and Doctor Qi here?"
"Doctor Qi had to leave first. I asked Third Aunt to go back and rest. She didn't sleep all night last night." Lu Lingzhi said embarrassedly.
Ye Zhen looked at him for a while. "I saw Imperial Concubine Lu yesterday."
Lu Lingzhi's eyes changed slightly and he frowned. "Why did you still go to see her? Did she do anything to you?"
"She didn't do anything to me, but she didn't live too well." Ye Zhen said faintly, "She also asked me to ask the emperor to see her."
"The emperor … refused to see Shuang 'er?" Lu Lingzhi was shocked. How could this be? Did the emperor already know that Shuang 'er did not save his life?
Ye Zhen nodded. "Yes, the Empress Dowager and the emperor are good to Concubine Xu Xian."
Lu Lingzhi's eyebrows wrinkled. He didn't expect Shuang 'er to fall out of favor so quickly. It couldn't be because the emperor liked the new and hated the old. It seemed that the emperor might really know …
"However, I think the emperor will always favor the imperial concubine again. You don't have to worry." Ye Zhen comforted him with a smile.
Lu Lingzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head. He knew Mo Rongzhan too well. Once he hated someone, there would be no turning back.
What worried him more was that Mo Rongzhan knew the whole truth, although this was unlikely.
