Chapter 308 Wishful thinking
Su Wan got on the carriage, and a figure quickly jumped into the carriage.
Qi Shiliu ignored the embarrassment: "Miss, someone outside spread the news that the queen's youngest son did not die in infancy and is living among the people. He is now hiding in the capital."
Su Wan's face was cold, and she guessed Princess Yongfu's intention.
Firstly, Princess Yongfu wanted to muddy the waters so that they would have no time to take care of themselves, so they would definitely transfer Gu Jingyun first. How could they find the time to find out the people who spread the rumors? Princess Yongfu minimizes her danger!
The second point is that the queen's youngest son is still alive. This news will definitely cause an uproar. People from all parties are dispatched to find Gu Jingyun's whereabouts as soon as possible. Princess Yongfu knows Gu Jingyun's whereabouts, which can increase her bargaining chips and seek more benefits.
Su Wan sneered, but unfortunately her calculation was wrong.
Since we can't hide it, we should face the difficulties. Why not take advantage of the situation and let Gu Jingyun recognize his ancestor and return to the clan and send it to the queen.
"Sixteen, hurry up and deliver the sign to the palace." Su Wan did not dare to delay and raced against time.
"Yes." Qi Shiliu left quickly.
The carriage sped towards the palace and stopped at the palace gate. The female officer beside the queen happened to arrive at the palace gate.
"Princess." The female officer saluted Su Wan: "The Queen is waiting for you in the palace."
"Excuse me, auntie, I'd like to take a trip." Su Wan was polite to the female officer and entered the palace in a sedan.
The sedan stopped in front of Weiyang Palace, and the female official opened the curtain and stretched out her arms.
Su Wan supported her arm and got off the sedan. The female officer did not go in to pass the news, but took Su Wan in directly.
The queen was lying on the bed. When she heard the noise, she sat up with the help of the palace maid, leaned against the head of the bed, covered her mouth and coughed.
"Mother, are you feeling unwell?" Su Wan saw her coughing violently and her face was pale with no color at all. She quickly approached her and took her pulse. He frowned and waited for her cough to subside, then asked the queen to open her mouth. Her throat was red and swollen, and her tongue coating was thick and white. These were symptoms of pharyngitis. "What medicine did the imperial doctor prescribe?"
The female officer handed the prescription to Su Wan.
Su Wan read the prescription and found that the medicine prescribed was suitable for the symptoms, but the dose was too mild.
She asked the female officer for pen and ink and changed the dosage.
"The prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor was too conservative. I didn't expect quick results, but I wanted to avoid going too far, so I increased the dosage."
Su Wan handed the prescription to the female officer.
The female officer looked at the queen.
"Follow Wanwan's prescription." The queen coughed several times, her throat was sore, and her voice was hoarse: "Wanwan, I heard that there is a rumor in the capital... that my youngest son is still alive and has entered the capital?"
Su Wan looked around.
The palace maids all left at the queen's signal, leaving only the two of them and the female officer.
"Don't you know whether your wife is alive or not?" Su Wan asked.
The palace was very tight, and no one could have sent the living prince out of the palace without someone covering him.
There are people here who eat people without spitting out their bones. It is not worthwhile to waste a lot of time and risk their lives to throw them out of the palace. It is easier to steal the prince and silence him quietly.
Su Wan guessed that the queen sent people out of the palace specially.
As for the purpose, I'm afraid it's to protect the little prince.
The queen's eyes dimmed, and her brows were filled with sadness.
The eldest princess seems to be neutral and does not take sides with anyone. In fact, she and the regent are on the same side.
Back then, she asked the eldest princess for help, so that her confidants could successfully send her youngest son out of the palace.
Things have developed to this point. Su Wan is the regent's biological daughter, so there is nothing that cannot be said.
"I don't know if he is still alive. There has been no news about him for so many years. If he is still well, my people should send the news back." The queen has been deceiving herself and others, not daring to think deeply, just assuming that it is inconvenient for them to contact she.
When she heard the news, she longed for it to be true.
"Alive." Seeing the queen looking at her in surprise, Su Wan repeated firmly: "He is alive."
The queen sat upright suddenly, her eyes filled with emotions, and she couldn't hold back her excitement: "Do you know where he is?"
"In the Gu Mansion." Su Wan held down the queen who was about to get up, "My second brother is your child."
Tears flowed from the queen's eyes, and she held Su Wan's hand tightly with her fingers, "You...you didn't lie to me?"
"This is a kind of fate. My mother-in-law's second son died in infancy. She picked up a child of about the same age on the road and raised her as her second son. Over the years, she raised the child as her own. Jingyun was her psychological She didn't know that Jingyun was your child before." Su Wan told the queen the whole story in detail. Half an hour later, she drank a glass of water thirsty and then continued: "I never told you. It was my father and Huaizhi who planned to put him in that position after the emperor's death. Revealing his identity would increase a lot of danger and trouble. "
The queen's eyes were red and swollen from crying. She didn't blame her, her only thought was to be happy.
Fortunately, Gu's mother picked up her child, raised him, and taught him well, paving the way for his future.
"Jingyun..." the queen murmured: "The tiger roars and the valley is windy, the dragon lifts and Jingyun belongs to... Jingyun?"
It means: When the tiger roars, a cool mountain breeze will blow, and when the dragon flies, auspicious clouds will rise.
The queen said sincerely: "This is a good name."
"Yes." Su Wan smiled, which was consistent with Jing Yun's identity: "Mother, I will send Jing Yun to the palace tomorrow. I will go back to discuss with Huaizhi and my mother-in-law, and I will talk to Jing Yun first."
Queen: "Okay, I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow."
"Jingyun's identity cannot be concealed. When he recognizes his ancestor and returns to the clan, Your Majesty..." Su Wanhui held the queen's hand and said, "You must make arrangements as soon as possible. The nights are long and the dreams are long."
The queen nodded: "I will summon the eldest princess later."
Su Wan suddenly said: "The eldest princess has a snow lotus in her hand."
The queen suddenly realized: "Yes, I invite you to come to the palace to treat your illness, but the prescription is missing some snow lotus."
The two men looked at each other and smiled.
Su Wan didn't stay long, the matter was important, and she wanted to return home as soon as possible to discuss it with Gu Huaizhi.
——
Guangyuan Houfu.
Princess Yongfu sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Marquis Guangyuan longingly, stroking his eyebrows with her fingers. She had never felt that she owned him completely and was not afraid that he would abandon her one day.
When Yu Yan came back from outside, she saw Princess Yongfu staring at Guangyuan Hou in a daze. She paused and stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, the news has spread, and there are several people looking for the young prince."
The corners of Princess Yongfu's lips curled up slightly: "Always pay attention to their movements."
Yu Gu responded and said uneasily: "Your Highness, why don't you pass the news to the Queen Mother today?"
"What I want is more than just survival." Princess Yongfu's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "She wants the whereabouts of the little prince, and she will trade the lives of Su Wan and Tang Nuan."
Yu Yan's expression changed and she didn't dare to say anything.
Princess Yongfu glanced at the twilight, then lowered her eyes at the dirty white dress: "Prepare water, I want to take a bath."
Yu Li quickly ordered his servants to prepare hot water, took out clean clothes and put them in the clean room.
Princess Yongfu goes to the clean room to take a bath.
Yu Yan put her underwear on and helped her out of the clean room.
Princess Yongfu walked towards the bronze mirror, but after taking a few steps, she fell to the ground.
