The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 520: A Blessing of Three Treasures!
Chapter 520: A Blessing of Three Treasures!
Nanli was so hungry that she didn’t care about Ye Siheng anymore and began to eat.
Ye Siheng, thanks to his Golden Core, didn’t feel too fatigued or hungry. After eating a few bites, he heard Qing Feng had arrived and went out to the side hall.
"Your Highness!" Upon seeing Ye Siheng, Qing Feng’s eyes turned red. He knelt down, "Although I didn’t contribute much this time, I sincerely request that you allow me to return to the royal residence and continue to serve you!"
Ye Siheng looked at him and replied calmly: "You barely did anything, how can you have the face to ask to return to the royal residence?"
This was Qing Feng’s humble way of speaking, but Ye Siheng followed along, causing Qing Feng’s face to turn red with anxiety. His nose tingled, and tears threatened to fall.
He truly didn’t want to return to the Supervisory Office to sweep floors; he wanted to stay by Ye Siheng’s side!
Seeing that he was about to cry, Ye Siheng furrowed his brows, "Alright, I was just joking with you. Don’t be so sensitive."
For some reason, seeing Qing Feng’s red eyes made Ye Siheng unable to stay angry.
Qing Feng quickly held back his tears but still sounded choked, "Can I return to the royal residence then?"
"You can come back and sweep the floors of the royal residence."
"Even sweeping floors is fine!" Qing Feng was happy. At least in the royal residence, he could see Ye Siheng every day.
"However, I have an urgent matter that needs you to handle," Ye Siheng said seriously, asking him to stand up and speak.
After Qing Feng stood up, he said, "Your Highness, please give your orders. This time, I will definitely handle things properly and won’t make the same mistakes as last time!"
"Today, His Majesty and many ministers are here. You need to personally warn them that today’s matter must not be disclosed," Ye Siheng instructed.
He didn’t specify what the matter was.
As long as Qing Feng delivered the message, they would understand.
But as soon as Qing Feng stood up, he knelt again, "Your Highness, I... I can’t handle this!"
He was almost in tears, failing his first task upon returning to the royal residence!
Ye Siheng was puzzled, "Is it because you don’t know the list?"
"No," Qing Feng shook his head.
"Then why? Is it so hard to run an errand and say a few words?"
"It’s not that I’m incapable; it’s that even if I said it, it wouldn’t help." Qing Feng pouted, "Because His Majesty, before leaving the royal residence, instructed the palace servants to scatter silver and give out red envelopes, hoping for you and the princess to have a set of triplets."
He had once been worried about the princess’s injuries and feared that Ye Siheng might do something drastic.
But now that the princess was recovering and the couple was in good spirits, Qing Feng felt a mix of joy and surprise. After all, who could achieve such a feat in just four days and nights?
As a subordinate, he felt a sense of pride.
Qing Feng continued, "Many ministers were quite pleased with the news. In fact, there’s no need to hide it; if it spreads, no one would dare speak ill of His Highness."
However, Ye Siheng’s face turned darker and darker.
It wasn’t just his own reputation at stake but also A’Li’s!
But now...
His Majesty had returned to the palace, and the ministers had returned to their residences. The matter could no longer be concealed.
That afternoon, Emperor Muwu sent a chief manager to deliver bird’s nest, deer antler, and other supplements.
The chief manager subtly hinted that, although the young couple was strong, they should not be reckless. It was best to consume more supplements to strengthen their bodies, ensuring they could have a big, healthy baby.
Ye Siheng stopped the chief manager and said, "I understand. Please tell His Majesty not to mention this matter again."
The chief manager, with his hands clasped, started, "Your Highness, the Emperor..."
Seeing the murderous look on Ye Siheng’s face, he quickly corrected himself, "Your Highness, please consider the Emperor’s feelings. Although he claims not to acknowledge the Prince of Wu’an as his son, he is still saddened. The Emperor values you greatly. If, during his lifetime, you could have a son or daughter, it would give him peace."
Ye Siheng had a rough understanding of what Emperor Chengyan had done.
His Majesty had lost several sons and was now estranged from his wife, which was indeed pitiable.
Ye Siheng could only say, "One cannot force the fate of children."
The chief manager smiled, "Yes, yes, but if Your Highness puts in more effort, the princess will definitely conceive soon."
Ye Siheng rubbed his forehead. The chief manager’s words were essentially Emperor Muwu’s intention. He couldn’t get angry and quickly had the servant see the chief manager out.
Nanli, having heard of this matter, was even more helpless.
If the Emperor knew, and the ministers knew, it would mean everyone in the capital would eventually know.
Forget it; she decided to spend these days in the residence reading and painting symbols.
To her surprise, the next day, many people came to line up.
These were all people poisoned by the Seven Hearts Leaf.
The poison of the officials had been cured, but their family members and some wealthy merchants still had not.
Previously, when the Ninth Princess was severely injured, they had to endure the poison.
Now that the Ninth Princess had woken up, although they didn’t want to disturb her, the Seven Hearts Leaf poison was too torturous, and they had to come to seek help.
Nanli was helpless; the poison was indeed severe. If it wasn’t cured, people would suffer unbearably and might even end up harming themselves. She couldn’t ignore the poisoned people’s lives.
After all, the Evil Bees only followed her orders.
As long as she had a thick enough skin, she was invincible!
Curing the Seven Hearts Leaf poison was not difficult.
Soon it was the Lu siblings’ turn.
Although Lu Yanyan’s complexion was not great, she was surprised to see Nanli, "Oh my, I heard that your Dantian was destroyed and your life was in danger. The dual cultivation method worked so well; you are now radiant and more beautiful than before!"
Lu Zheng’s face darkened as he glared at his sister, "I’m still here."
Were these words appropriate to say in front of him?
Lu Yanyan said, "Princess, please detoxify my brother first and let him go outside. We can have a private conversation then."
Under Lu Yanyan’s urging, Nanli had no choice but to detoxify Lu Zheng first.
After Lu Zheng stood up, he bowed to Nanli before exiting.
Rainbow, being perceptive, followed and closed the door, keeping watch outside.
Once the room was empty, Lu Yanyan started talking excitedly, "You don’t know, but my Second Brother came to my house crying many times during those days."
"Really?" Nanli was surprised.
Second Brother had always been broad-minded. Although he didn’t go into battle, he had been in business for many years and had seen many ups and downs. How could he cry so many times?
Lu Yanyan extended her right hand for Nanli to take her pulse, resting her chin on her left hand, "The Prince was hiding with you, with no news. Everyone outside thought you were severely injured and beyond hope, so the Prince was trapped in the house, mourning. My Second Brother cried out of concern for you and also feared that my poison might not be cured."
"At that time, I was also afraid that I wouldn’t live long, so I proposed to break off the engagement to avoid being blamed as a wife-killer. But he said that since we were engaged, he wouldn’t break it off. He even planned to marry me as soon as possible so that after my death, he could personally handle my funeral arrangements."
Saying this, Lu Yanyan’s eyes reddened, and she wiped them with a handkerchief.
"You’re so touched, I thought he would go with you." Nanli rolled her eyes.
"That’s not the point. The point is, as his wife, my coffin, burial goods, and even my grave will be well-prepared, ensuring that I won’t be short of money in the afterlife." Lu Yanyan added, "My Second Brother is truly thoughtful."
