Drunk Bamboo

The nanny drank some warm water and took a deep breath. "It's just that I'm old, and my body is not working properly here and there. Princess, don't worry, there's nothing serious wrong with me."

"Let me feel Madam Ma's pulse." Xie Yuzhu was worried and reached out to feel her pulse.

"The prince is not in the mansion, so the decision is entirely up to the princess. We old bones are afraid we can't be of much help. Thank you for your hard work, princess." The nanny gently retracted her hand and said to Xie Yu with a loving face.

Xie Yuzhu couldn't force the pulse anymore, so she had to persuade him kindly:

"Madam, don't worry too much. Just enjoy your old age with peace of mind. Since I am the princess, I should take on everything that a princess should do. It's not hard. Madam, you have worked hard for the prince for half your life. You should be enjoying your life at this age, but you are always worried about the affairs of the palace. It's because the prince and I haven't done well enough that you are worried."

The nanny smiled with relief: "It has been less than half a year since the princess married into the palace, and we have all seen the changes in the prince. Everyone knows the princess's skills and abilities. I am relieved. I am relieved that the princess is by the prince's side."

"Madam, you look tired. I'll help you back to your room so you can have a good rest." Xie Yuzhu helped the madam up.

The nanny patted her hands and said, "Princess, go and do your work. Let Bai Guo come."

Since this was what the nanny wanted, Xie Yuzhu gave up her seat to Bai Guo.

The nanny was worried and turned back to warn again: "Don't worry, Princess, I will take good care of the baby. I haven't even held the prince and princess's child yet."

After hearing this, Xie Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly.

It’s still early to talk about children.

She did not walk out of Bailianxuan directly, but waited until Baiguo came out.

Xie Yuzhu asked: "Mammy, have you been coughing a lot recently?"

She just took her pulse, just touched it lightly, and it seemed that there was some problem, but she herself did not have enough experience in taking pulses, and the nanny quickly withdrew her hand, so she did not dare to make any rash judgment.

I was really worried, so I had to wait for Baiguo to come out and find out.

Bai Guo answered truthfully, "I used to cough a few times when the seasons changed or when it suddenly got cold. I seem to have coughed more recently. I guess I'm worried about the prince."

Seeing Xie Yuzhu's expression was not right, Bai Guo was a little scared and said worriedly: "But the doctor came to the mansion regularly to check the pulse. There was no problem, and I was taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor. What happened to Mammy?"

Xie Yuzhu only said, "Maybe my medical skills are not good enough. I will ask Grandpa Zhao to come to the mansion to check Madam's pulse later. Please take care of Madam."

Bai Guo nodded: "I will take good care of Madam."

The next morning, Daci Temple.

Xie Yuzhu's appointment with Lord Liu had been cancelled, but on this day, she still came to Daci Temple, not for anything else but to burn incense, worship Buddha and pray for peace.

I didn't feel anything when Hua Qinfeng was around, but after he left for a few days, I always missed him and worried about him.

So I got up early to pray to Buddha, hoping that everything goes well for him and that he returns safely.

"Uncle Lao Liu said that there was no news from Loushan that the prince was looking for the bandits and the government silver. Lord Zhang and the prince went there in person but couldn't find any trace. Where did the bandits and the government silver go? If they can't find them, will His Majesty blame the prince?"

"No news is better than bad news. This is only the first day, and the prince and his men have just arrived. They are unfamiliar with the place, so it will definitely take some time to search for them. As long as they are safe, we can slowly look for the bandits and the silver."

Xie Yuzhu and Yunling walked out of the main hall. People were coming and going, and the temple was full of pilgrims.

Yun Ling admired and said: "The princess asked Lord Liu to raise money yesterday just to give the prince more time. The princess really prepared for a rainy day!"

Xie Yuzhu raised her eyes and looked at the dawn that was just beginning to appear in the sky:

"It was Lord Liu's words that reminded me. If this case was so simple, the local authorities would not have reported it to the court so quickly. It took only one day from the incident to the news reaching the Golden Steps Palace. It was too fast. This matter involves the dereliction of duty of local officials. The Minister of War who was in charge of the escort is also to blame. He must have investigated it first, and the news would not reach Zhongdu until two or three days later."

Yun Ling was surprised and asked, "Princess, do you mean that someone in the court knew that the bandits would rob the government silver?"

Xie Yuzhu withdrew his gaze and looked at the steps under his feet.

"Who knows? Maybe it's to disrupt the court, maybe it's to create trouble for the prince, maybe it's to make the treasury even emptier, or maybe it's just bandits robbing silver... If there really are bandits, then the people of Rao will be worried. In a peaceful and prosperous country, no one would be willing to rob. Who doesn't want to live in peace and happiness with their family?"

"If it's the latter, things will become more complicated." Having said this, he stopped, thought about it, and felt that it was impossible, so he continued walking towards the gate of Daci Temple.

"However, it should be impossible. Rao country has been peaceful and stable for more than ten years, and the struggle in the court has only intensified in recent years. It is impossible for civil strife to break out so soon. Stop thinking about it. I just burned incense and worshipped Buddha in the temple. I should calm down now."

Yun Ling believed it without a doubt: "Princess, you came to burn incense early in the morning. You are sincere. Buddha will definitely bless the prince and Chaoyang."

He sighed slightly: "I didn't believe these things before, but now I am beginning to believe them."

Yun Ling heard her helplessness, and her pretty face suddenly turned cold, and she said with displeasure: "The Crown Prince is virtuous, but Your Majesty favors Prince Wen, which is why there are disputes in the court. The prince and princess will not be involved in trouble again and again."

Xie Yuzhu was surprised and stopped. She turned her head to look at Yunling, who was always well-behaved and obedient. "Yunling, how dare you say that?"

Yun Ling came back to her senses and realized that she had just said something extremely treasonous. She bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "Princess, please forgive me. It was Yun Ling who made the mistake!"

Xie Yuzhu pulled her hand over, put it on her arm, patted her, and told her not to be nervous.

"Don't be afraid. I told you that you don't need to hide yourself in front of me."

Yunling's hand was being held tightly by Xie Yuzhu at this moment.

The palms are soft and warm.

The next second, Xie Yuzhu showed a sneer on his face: "Yunling, you are right. Our emperor is very thoughtful and suspicious."

"He wants to control everything, but he is afraid that he will not be able to do it due to his age. He is afraid that the crown prince is virtuous and courageous and is popular among the people. He is afraid that the prince will be more powerful than the emperor and have his own army. He is afraid of the power of the Wang family behind the queen and the prime minister. He is also afraid that the children of the Xie family will not listen to the emperor's will... He is afraid of many things."

Yun Ling covered her mouth, looked around, lowered her voice and said nervously: "Princess, you are too blunt. There are so many people coming and going in the temple. Let's go back to the mansion and talk about it."

Xie Yuzhu blinked and signaled her to put her hand down.

Yun Ling felt embarrassed and quickly withdrew her hand.

"I just said you were brave, and you immediately wilted."

Yun Ling was so anxious that her face turned red: "Princess, you are making fun of me."

Xie Yuzhu quickly agreed: "Okay, okay, I won't say any more. The prince is not in Zhongdu, so you should be careful about everything."

At this time, a beautiful woman came towards me with a smile on her face.

"This is the Wind Princess, right?"
