When the kitchen supervisor saw that Su Yuyan had arrived, he smiled obsequiously as he went up to her.
“Second Young Miss, why are you here? This place is dirty. Don’t get your embroidered shoes dirty.”
Su Yuyan raised her chin slightly. “Where’s Father’s soup? Is it ready?”
“Second Young Miss, the caretaker came over just now and said that from today onward, the big kitchen doesn’t have to prepare any food for Master. He said that the private kitchen in Master’s courtyard will be arranging the meals for Master.”
Su Yuyan’s expression changed slightly. “What do they mean by this? They want to take control of Father completely!”
The supervisor didn’t dare to reply. This was a battle between the big shots. It would be the most fortunate thing for small fry like them not to get embroiled.
Su Yuyan wasn’t inciting anyone to scold Su Ying with her, but she was downright furious. This b.i.t.c.h was going to ruin her plans again!
By the time Su Ying returned to the Imperial Palace, the sky had already darkened.
On the way back, she repeatedly pondered over Su Yulun’s health examination results. It was only when she returned to Conjugal Phoenix Palace and Ji had called out to her several times before she came back to her senses.
“Ji, you have finished cla.s.ses?”
Ji nodded. “We’re waiting for Mother to come back to eat together.”
Ji held Su Ying’s hand and entered the hall. Xiao Jin and Ling were already sitting on the chairs waiting for her to return.
Xiao Jin saw her deep in thought and asked, “What are you thinking about? So engrossed?”
Su Ying walked over and sat down beside him before saying, “Su Yulun’s condition is indeed very bad. I’m very surprised.”
If even Su Ying felt that his condition was terrible, then it must be extremely bad.
“Can he be saved?” Xiao Jin scooped a bowl of pig trotter and bean soup for her.
Su Ying frowned slightly. “Yes, but I’m just curious. I’ve already ordered the Imperial Guards to seal off the courtyard and stationed Zhou Qing there to look after him. Tomorrow, I’ll send two Imperial Physicians there to keep an eye on him.”
Xiao Jin nodded. “I’ve also asked the spies who are keeping watch over there. They haven’t found anything unusual for now, except for Su Yuyan who occasionally leaves the residence to pray in the temple.”
Su Ying drank the soup in her bowl and raised her head to glance at Xiao Jin. Su Yuyan’s current situation wasn’t good, but as long as Su Yulun was around, she would still be the second young miss of the Prime Minister’s Residence. As long as she didn’t do anything stupid, it wouldn’t be difficult for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life.
Unless she was downright stupid, she would not do anything to hurt Su Yulun. However, what if she was really stupid?
Su Ying felt that this was not impossible, and that was why she stationed Zhou Qing in the Prime Minister’s Residence. On the surface, she wanted her to look after Su Yulun, but secretly, she wanted her to keep an eye on Su Yuyan and see if there was anything wrong with her.
The next morning, Su Yuyan left the residence in a hurry before dawn.
She rode in the horse carriage all the way to an alley in the eastern part of the city. She then told the coachman to stop the horse carriage and she got off on her own.
“You wait here. I’ll be back soon.”
The coachman glanced at the street and wanted to say something but hesitated. “Second Young Miss, be careful.”
Su Yuyan also told her maidservant to wait in the carriage while she headed to East Street.
East Street was a famous red-light district in the capital city. It was always lively at night, but there was basically no one on the street during the day.
Su Yuyan ran to a brothel called Jade Fragrance House and knocked on the tightly shut door.
Before long, the door was opened. The sleepy waiter looked at Su Yuyan and frowned deeply, “We haven’t opened yet. Come over at night if you are looking for someone.”
Su Yuyan stuffed a jade token into his hand, “I want to see your shopkeeper.”
The waiter’s expression changed slightly when he saw the jade token. He opened the door and led Su Yuyan to a hidden room in the back courtyard.
“Young Miss, please wait a moment. I will pa.s.s the message to the shopkeeper.” A moment later, a middle-aged man in embroidered clothes walked in.
His eyes were sharp and a chilly glint flashed in his eyes. When he saw Su Yuyan, he only said icily, “Second Miss Su, why are you in such a hurry to come here? Is there something urgent?”
Su Yuyan said anxiously when she saw him, “Shopkeeper Liu, the Empress has sent people to the Prime Minister’s Residence. She ordered people to seal off my father’s courtyard and did not allow anyone to go near him. Wouldn’t my father’s matter be exposed then?”
Shopkeeper Liu’s eyes turned sharp. “Second Young Miss, don’t be anxious. You didn’t do anything to Prime Minister Su. What are you afraid of?”
“But I…”
“Second Miss Su, think carefully before you speak. What did you do to Prime Minister Su? Wasn’t it just feeding medicine and food? Those things were also sent to you by the servants. What does it have to do with you?”
Su Yuyan was stunned and became speechless.
“Besides, those are just ordinary dishes. Even if the Emperor comes in person, there won’t be a problem. What’s there to be afraid of, Second Young Miss?” Shopkeeper Liu’s words made Su Yuyan calm down completely. She had also been thrown into disarray by Su Ying’s sudden visit. She had clearly hidden her father’s matter very well, but she didn’t know who had told Su Ying about it.
That was right. She didn’t do anything. What was there to be afraid of?
“Second Young Miss, you are the Young Miss of the Prime Minister’s Residence after all. In the future, it is best not to come here and look for me. If others find out, it will only affect your reputation.”
Su Yuyan nodded. “I understand. What should I do next? Now, I can’t get close to my father at all.”
“Don’t do anything. Pay attention to the situation over there. If there’s anything unusual, immediately send someone to send a message to me.” “Alright. I understand.”
Shopkeeper Liu took out a letter and a brocade box and handed them to Su Yuyan. “This is what Young Master told me to give you, Second Young Miss.”
When she heard this, a look of delight erupted from Su Yuyan’s eyes. She took the brocade box and opened it. Inside was a wooden hairpin, and a jasmine flower carved from white jade was embedded in it.
Su Yuyan opened the letter. There were only three words written on it, “I missed you.”
These few words were enough to make Su Yuyan very happy.
“Young Master said that this is a hairpin that he personally made for Second Young Miss. After he is done with his matters outside, he will immediately come back to reunite with you, Second Young Miss. And he asks you not to be anxious.”
Su Yuyan put away the letter and gift and said with a smile, “Alright. I will definitely wait for his return.”
“You shouldn’t stay long in this place, Second Young Miss. You should leave as soon as possible.”
“Alright, I’ll leave now.”
After Su Yuyan left, Shopkeeper Liu’s expression immediately sank. He summoned his trusted aide and instructed, “Go. Send a message to Young Master. Tell him that there’s a change in the Prime Minister’s Residence.”
“Yes, Sir.”
After Su Yuyan returned to the Prime Minister’s Residence, the person trailing her turned around and hid in the alley behind.
That night, news of Su Yuyan’s visit to the Jade Fragrance House was delivered to Su Ying.
Su Yuyan was a person who cared a lot about her dignity, and she also prided herself on being untainted. If it wasn’t for something important, why would she go to such a place in broad daylight?
“Do you know who she met when she went in? What did she say?”
Zhou Qing shook her head. “The Jade Fragrance House is heavily guarded. The people I sent didn’t dare to follow her in rashly for fear of alerting the enemy.” “Mm-hmm. There’s no need to act rashly. Just continue to keep an eye on her.” “Yes, Your Imperial Highness.”
“Has Prime Minister Su’s condition improved?”
“Your Imperial Highness, there is no obvious improvement for the time being.”
Before Zhou Qing left the palace, Su Ying issued her more medicine and instructed her to feed it to Su Yulun. If he still didn’t show any improvement after taking this medicine, Su Ying would have to make a trip out of the palace again..
