Grasshopper on the same rope? What kind of metaphor is this?
Lu Yuncheng raised his eyebrows and smiled silently.
He considers himself a man of determination and firm stance.
But today, Su Qingyu signed this ridiculous contract while being a 'grasshopper on the same rope' and 'making progress and retreat together'.
The contract was made in duplicate. After Su Qingyu got the contract, she couldn't hide the excitement in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
Once she healed Lu Yuncheng's leg and took care of the affairs of the Pingchang Hou Mansion, she would be free to travel around the world! Then there is no need to stay in this small palace and watch the lively Lu Yuncheng and his beautiful concubines stage a real-life version of the drama of fighting for favor in the back house.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to heal your legs!"
These were the last words Su Qingyu said when she left him.
Lu Yuncheng looked at her back as she disappeared from sight, his gentle face darkening little by little.
Qingfeng, who was guarding the door, could already feel the coldness of his master without even looking back.
"Breeze."
"My subordinate is here!" After entering bravely, Qingfeng didn't dare to take a breath.
"How long until Mingyue comes back?"
"The bright moon has been flying pigeons to deliver messages, and we will arrive in the capital early tomorrow morning."
"Ask her to check on the princess. She has done everything in detail since she was little."
If he remembered correctly, on her wedding day, Su Qingyu was a lowly person and took him as the priority in everything. How come it only took two days to ask him for He Lishu?
And the look on her face when she left was so happy that she almost laughed to the sky, and it didn't look like she was faking it at all.
He had to find out what kind of medicine Su Qingyu was selling in her gourd.
At that time, Su Qingyu was busy packing the packages for Su Changgeng, and she had long forgotten about 'personality' and so on.
She took a certain amount of silver notes and broken silver from the space, and put them in the package, her purse, and even stuffed a little under the insoles of her shoes.
Facing Su Changgeng's surprised look, Su Qingyu didn't feel any pressure when she lied.
"These are all given to you by the prince. Taking a carriage from the capital to Yongcheng takes at least half a month, and it will definitely cost money along the way."
Su Changgeng nodded: "Sister, don't worry about me. Taking care of yourself is the most important thing."
The siblings talked for a long time around the candlelight. When Su Qingyu was about to go back to her room, Su Changgeng suddenly felt a little sad.
"Sister, Aunt Qin is seriously ill and may not be well. I don't know what kind of situation my third sister will be in when I return to the capital..."
In the huge Hou Mansion, apart from the two siblings, the only ones who can bear the word "good" are Aunt Qin and the third lady of the Hou Mansion, Su Qingru.
Su Qingyu closed the door for Su Changgeng and stood in the courtyard, looking at the bright moon in the sky.
In this dynasty where imperial power is supreme, human life is like an ant and cannot be controlled by oneself. Coupled with the poor medical conditions, too many people lost their lives despite being able to survive.
For example, the mother of the original owner and the current Aunt Qin.
As a doctor, although her ability is meager, she still wants to give more people a chance to live.
This is the real purpose of her travels.
"The world is dangerous, I should prepare for my future while I'm still in the capital!
Su Qingyu entered her room muttering to herself.
Early the next morning, Su Qingyu and Lu Yuncheng bid farewell to Su Changgeng at the gate of the palace.
Su Changgeng felt a sore nose: "Sister, you must take good care of yourself in the capital..."
Su Qingyu smiled: "You too, take care of yourself."
Su Changgeng nodded, and then bowed deeply to Lu Yuncheng: "Sister is kind-hearted and doesn't like to talk. I hope the prince can treat her well."
Don't like to talk?
A trace of complicated emotions flashed in Lu Yuncheng's eyes, but in the end he couldn't bear to dampen the hope of the young man in front of him.
"Of course. Only by studying hard can you repay your sister for her hard work."
Su Qingyu thought that Lu Yuncheng would only arrange two guards for Su Changgeng, but she didn't expect that he would not be stingy at all, and he would have five with a wave of his hand.
Now, she didn't have to worry about Su Changgeng's safety on the way, so she inevitably felt much better on the way to the eldest princess's mansion.
"The princess seems very happy?"
Su Qingyu paused in the process of opening the curtain, and then squeezed out her signature smile: "Your Majesty, you can see it!"
"Your Majesty has helped me a lot. I will not let you down."
Su Qingyu said considerately: "Don't worry, I will be able to write out a plan to treat your leg in the next two days, and then we can start treating your leg."
Lu Yuncheng raised his eyes and unconsciously tightened the fabric under his palm with his fingers.
"It's important to cure my aunt first. We can treat the leg slowly."
Su Qingyu shook her head: "These two things do not conflict. The only conflict is your cough. As long as the cough stabilizes and does not recur, you can start treating your legs."
Her eyes were clear, and she was thinking about him in every word and every action she said, and it didn't look like she was lying at all.
Lu Yuncheng's throat felt a little stiff, and his mood became complicated.
"Then it's your turn, Princess Lao."
Su Qingyu's eyebrows curved: "As long as I'm here, Your Majesty, you don't have to worry."
She seemed to be comforting him.
"No matter what the result of the treatment is, no matter how bad it is, it won't be worse than the current situation, don't you think?"
A certain light in Lu Yuncheng's eyes was instantly extinguished: "The princess' way of comforting people is really unique."
Su Qingyu laughed twice and didn't answer any more.
The silence in the carriage accentuated the chatter outside the carriage.
"Have you heard? The Pingchang Marquis Mansion was robbed yesterday! All the money in the Marquis Mansion was looted by the thief!"
"Did you hear it wrong? Yesterday was the day when the two daughters of the Hou Mansion of Pingchang returned home. I heard that His Royal Highness Prince An has gone. What thief is so brave and dares to attack the Hou Mansion in broad daylight?"
"Why did I lie to you? This morning I saw with my own eyes that the Marquis of Pingchang went to Jingzhao Mansion to report for office! I heard that the Marquis of Pingchang fell ill because of this..."
...
The chatter became farther and farther away, and Lu Yuncheng's eyes became darker and darker.
"The Hou Mansion was stolen, isn't the princess worried? Do you need to go back and take a look?"
Su Qingyu coughed lightly: "Of course I'm worried."
Just as Lu Yuncheng was about to ask a few more questions, he heard her whispering softly: "It's hard to get Madam to agree to return the dowry left by my mother. Once this theft happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to come and ask for it. "
This helpless tone, if it were a normal face, would definitely make people feel distressed.
Su Qingyu knew that as long as Lu Yun Cheng thought, he would be able to find out the relationship between her and Pingchang Houfu. In this case, she has nothing to hide.
Right now, sincerity is the key.
Lu Yuncheng was so choked by Su Qingyu's answer that he couldn't recover for a long time.
"What the princess said is absolutely true. With this incident happening in the Hou Mansion, your worries are not unreasonable."
Su Qingyu followed his words and nodded seriously: "Yes! So during this period, please ask the prince to ask the accountant to give me more money..."
Lu Yuncheng blinked: "Princess, are you short of money?"
