Chapter 196 Yun Chudai's Arrival
The warm winter sun made Yun Yuxi squint her eyes comfortably. The Spring Festival was just half a month away, and everyone in the palace began to get busy.
This is the first New Year that Yun Yuxi is about to celebrate after traveling through time. Lying on the recliner, Yun Yuxi is wondering how she can have a comfortable and lively New Year. However, someone she never expected comes to the palace.
The butler came to report: "Princess, there is a young lady outside the mansion, claiming to be your sister. Here is a letter." After saying that, the butler handed over an envelope with both hands.
Yun Yuxi opened it with some suspicion, and suddenly her expression became serious, so she said: "Butler, take the person to Nuanyu Pavilion, and make sure no one outside the mansion sees him."
The housekeeper hurried to make arrangements. Yun Chudai, who was outside the mansion, was dressed simply and was completely unrecognizable as the prime minister's concubine. The housekeeper took her through the back door and hurried to Nuanyu Pavilion.
Yun Chudai looked around the palace curiously, and suddenly the housekeeper's low voice was heard, "Don't look around, don't look at things you shouldn't look at, and please respect yourself, young lady."
Yun Chudai bit her lip, lowered her head and said nothing, and continued to follow the housekeeper towards Nuanyu Pavilion.
"Second sister, please save Aunt Lan..." When she saw Yun Yuxi, Yun Chudai immediately knelt down and cried.
"Banxia, tell the kitchen to prepare some food and send it over later."
Then he looked at Yun Chudai in surprise and asked, "You are Chudai? I can hardly recognize you. What happened to your mother? Is what was written in the letter true?"
"Second sister, it's me. My aunt asked me to disguise myself to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to you! Second sister, my aunt said that your jade pendant is fake."
"Mrs. Lan has always been favored. What happened? What jade pendant?"
"Second sister, it's the jade pendant from the Mu family. Aunt Lan caught a cold. Dad has been busy with social events recently, so Madam didn't allow the court doctor to treat Aunt Lan. Aunt Lan has had a fever for three days and can't get out of bed."
"It's so serious, how did Aunt Lan know that the jade pendant was fake?"
"Second sister, don't be angry, because it's really in my aunt's place. My aunt also said that if I help her this time, I will definitely not suffer any loss!"
Yun Yuxi pulled up the kneeling Yun Chudai and said softly, "Sister, get up. Go back after dinner. This is antipyretic medicine. Give it to Aunt Lan first. I will go to the Xiangfu to treat Aunt Lan tomorrow. Here is fifty taels of silver. Go buy some daily necessities for her."
Yun Chudai nodded repeatedly and burst into tears again out of emotion.
Yuelan brought a basin of warm water with a cheerful look and helped Yun Chudai wash her face.
Yun Yuxi knew very well that Aunt Lan should be confident enough to ask her for help, and she couldn't refuse because she wanted to know too much about her mother and her maternal grandparents.
"Second sister, please don't be angry with me. Aunt Lan is my biological mother after all. I can't bear to see her die."
"Chu Dai, just for your filial piety, I will look up to you. Just come to me if you have any problems in the future," Yun Yuxi said with a raised eyebrow.
"Second sister, can I go out? Madam won't let me go out. I ran out secretly today. If I were discovered, I'm afraid..."
"Princess, the food has been delivered from the kitchen," Banxia reminded.
"Chu Dai, come and eat something. I'll ask Yue Lan to take you back later. By the way, tell dad to go see aunt. Don't worry, I'll be back tomorrow. Tell aunt to hold on."
Yun Chudai sat at the dinner table, nervous and not knowing what to do.
"Eat, sister. You look so thin. If I remember correctly, you are almost fifteen years old."
"Second sister, I'm just fifteen. I had my birthday a few days ago," Yun Chudai replied cautiously.
After the meal, Yun Yuxi quickly packed up her clothes and supplements, then called Yuelan and asked her to escort Yun Chudai away. She knew all too well the tricks used by the Liu family.
At this moment, Yan Wuque stared at Yun Yuxi, his eyes full of worry, and asked with concern: "Yu'er, is there anything bothering you? I see that you look worried."
Yun Yuxi was a little flustered when she heard this, and she quickly responded, "No, no, I'm not worried. Your Majesty is probably overthinking."
However, Yan Wuque did not believe it easily, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Don't hide it from me! According to the maid, someone came to the prime minister's residence today, and you ate very little at dinner.
You still dare to say that nothing happened. Do you still regard me as an outsider? Do you bear all the problems alone?"
Seeing this, Yun Yuxi knew it was difficult to hide it, so she sighed softly and said, "My Lord, I have never regarded you as an outsider, but I am also quite confused about this matter and it is difficult for me to understand the mystery. Why don't we move to the study to discuss it in detail?"
Hearing this, Yan Wuque showed a relieved smile on his face, because what he hoped was that Yun Yuxi would regard him as someone he could rely on.
After entering the study, Yan Wuque said to Yun Yuxi solemnly: "Yu'er, remember, I am your husband. Even if the sky collapses and the earth collapses, there is no need to be afraid, everything will be borne by me. If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me, I am willing to face it with you."
Looking at Yan Wuque's sincere eyes, Yun Yuxi couldn't help but feel moved. She opened her red lips, sighed, and said slowly:
"The one who came today is the concubine of the prime minister's mansion. Her aunt is ill and she wants me to go over and treat her. Moreover, the aunt has something I want. My mother left behind a jade pendant. I was young and ignorant and gave it to Yun Ruyan. Later, I took it back, but it was a fake one."
"Is this jade pendant important to you?"
"What my mother left behind should be very important. Although I don't know how to use it, and Aunt Lan also asked my concubine sister to convey a message. She knows something related to my maternal family."
"Yu'er, I will go back with you tomorrow. I have been investigating the affairs of the Mu family and submitted a petition to the emperor, hoping that the Mu family can return to Kyoto. But to no avail."
"You mean. Are you going to let your grandfather come back?"
"Yes, I know you have been brooding over your mother-in-law's affairs. So I am also investigating secretly, and maybe we will have unexpected gains tomorrow."
Yun Yuxi was moved, her eyes welled up with tears, and she silently leaned her head on Yan Wuque's chest.
Yan Wuque touched Yun Yuxi's hair lovingly and said, "Yu'er, you have to be mentally prepared. The third uncle of the Mu family was injured and then became stupid."
"Well, I have learned from my mother's dowry nanny. Tomorrow when I go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I will ask His Majesty to summon my grandfather back. Maybe I can cure my third uncle."
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy. My brother is not so easy to talk to. You should be mentally prepared. I will take care of this matter. Don't worry. It may be difficult before the New Year. I will think of a solution after the New Year."
The two of them were in tune with each other and were deeply in love. Yan Wuque looked at Yun Yuxi with lust in his eyes.
At this time, the secret guard came, stood outside the door and said, "My master has urgent news."
Yun Yuxi tactfully prepared to return to Nuanyu Pavilion, but Yan Wuque grabbed her and asked her to listen to the urgent news together.
Yun Yuxi knew that Yan Wuque finally trusted her completely.
