Chapter 284: Bad news
The spring is bright, and Wen Mingqian met the palace maid Chunying in the middle of the northwest corner of the queen's bedroom. "Madam Wen, are you going to serve the Empress?" Chunying was holding a large bouquet of early peach blossoms in her arms, which was very eye-catching.
There were two little palace maids behind her, one holding the double-ring jade bottle and the other holding the Kui-mouthed silhouette green square bottle.
"Did Miss Chunying go pick flowers? The flowers are so beautiful that they are so beautiful." Wen Mingqian smiled and said, "You are more delicate than this peach blossom!"
Chunying blushed: "Madam, don't make fun of me. I saw that the flowers are so good that I folded them down and prepared to give them to the Queen.
I thought there was no suitable bottle to insert, so I went to the Treasure Pavilion to ask for these two bottles. At that time, I will keep them first and send the other one back."
After she said this, her eyes lit up: "Madam Wen, why don't you help me with an idea!"
Wen Mingqian did not refuse, and said to two bottles, "I think it's better to use this jade bottle, which can make the peach blossoms look more lively."
"That's it! The queen doesn't like to worry about small things at all." Chunying said, "When I clean up and stop working, I'll send the flowers in. Then you two will send the bottle back to their original place! Ask the person who registered will remember it, don't ask us for it again."
Wen Mingqian and she came to the queen's harem, and Chunying went to arrange flowers by herself.
Yu Lu was standing under the corridor. When he saw Wen Mingqian pointing his hand at her, he meant to ask her to go over. "Master Yu," Wen Mingqian stepped forward and called, "Can I get me now?"
"Mingqian," Yu Lu didn't call her Mrs. Wen, but just called her by her name, and seemed close, "I have something to ask for you."
"My father-in-law is so serious, and he wants nothing, as long as I can help." Wen Mingqian said with a smile.
"I am thinking about giving some gifts. Large ones are inconvenient, and small ones are afraid they are not expensive enough. Only the things you make are fragrant, beautiful and expensive, which is really suitable." Yu Lu smiled, his eyes bent into crescents. "It turns out to be this, but I don't know how much to use? There are still some ready-made ones in my place. If it is not enough, hurry up and make some more." Wen Mingqian knew that Yu Lu wanted to give someone a gift.
The officials from other provinces have to give gifts to the queen every quarter, but whether the gifts they gave can finally be in front of the queen and get the queen's like it as they wish depends on whether Yu Lu is willing to present them. Therefore, Yu Lu's benefits are naturally indispensable.
Yu Lu, he is also willing to make friends with these officials, which is beneficial or harmful to him, so why not do it?
So you will also give me a gift appropriately.
"It's not worth a lot. The things you make are priceless. They even have nowhere to buy them with money." Yu Lu said, "Just as long as you have more than ten or twenty bottles is enough..."
He also wanted to say that a little eunuch walked in from outside in a panic.
When I came to Yu Lu, he said, "Master Yu, King Zhao has written to me, there is something bad about it."
"What's wrong?" Yu Lu asked him.
The little eunuch didn't say anything, but just looked at Wen Mingqian, and Wen Mingqian turned around and left with tactfulness.
Seeing that he had walked away, the little eunuch said to Lu: "The King of Zhao wrote to him that they had been halfway through the road, and the second young master suddenly had asthma... and died..."
"Ah?!" Yu Lu was very surprised when he heard this and frowned, "Oh! How did this happen? Why did this happen?"
Zhao's youngest son Ying Song was born weak and almost never left medicine every day. What's even more serious is that he has asthma, which will cause any problem. Wen Mingqian had given him a medicine bag to relieve it before, but that thing was also a treatment for symptoms but not the root cause.
They went north and naturally became colder and colder, with strong winds and dryness and dust.
Such a climate is actually very dangerous for people with asthma.
Although Princess Zhao and her group brought medicines and doctors early, the manpower was limited and they were unable to make up for the situation.
"Master Yu, I will tell you this news." The little eunuch said, "Please tell the Queen slowly!"
Yu Lu blinked. Of course, he knew that if the queen was told, she would definitely be anxious and sad, but she could not ignore it.
When I raised my eyes and looked at Wen Mingqian standing in the distance, I immediately called her over again.
"Mingqian, please follow me in a while and report a letter to the Empress." Yu Lu rubbed his hands and said.
"What kind of trust is lost?" Wen Mingqian asked unexpectedly.
"Oh! It's so hard to speak!" Yu Lu sighed, "It's the second son of the Zhao Mansion... he died of illness on the road!"
The newest ⊥小⊥ said⊥ in ⊥6⊥9⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"Ah?! This...this is too sudden. The second young master is still so young."
"Who said no?" Yu Lu shook his head, "You will come in later. When I talk to the Queen, you should persuade me. The Queen is angry, it would be strange if she doesn't get angry when she hears this news!"
At this time, Concubine Hui was chatting with the queen. Seeing Yu Lu and Wen Mingqian come in, she smiled and praised, "I also told the Queen that you gave me the balm you made for me before, which is really unwilling to let go. I have only wiped it for two days and felt that my skin has moisturized a lot."
"Concubine Hui has been too rewarded. If it is not good to use it, I will tell my servant that I will make a solution to improve it." Wen Mingqian said. "What are you coming in?" The queen noticed something was wrong with Yu Lu's face.
Yu Luzheng was waiting for this sentence, and immediately knelt down and cried: "Empress, you must be mourning! I don't want to tell you about this news, but there is no way."
Wen Mingqian immediately knelt down, lowered his head and said nothing. "What happened? Tell me quickly! Don't beat this dull gourd!" The queen was indeed anxious when she heard this. "It's King Zhao... Someone came in to report it just now. The prince sent someone to send a message over. The second son of his family... passed away on the way..." "You mean Song'er?" The queen's eyes were straightened when she heard it, "He... He died prematurely?" "The Empress said with grief, take care of the phoenix body. This has happened, and no one can do anything about it." Yu Lu said crying.
"The Empress must calm down, don't be too sad. It is true that anyone feels uncomfortable when he hears this news, but as General Manager Yu said, the matter has happened and we can do nothing. Please mourn and take care of the phoenix body." Concubine Hui also hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.
The queen's tears fell and she choked and said, "This child is really a miserable life. She has been born with some shortcomings. She originally thought that she would take good care of her, but she would probably be healthy as she grew up. Who would have thought that the wind and frost would kill him... Alas!"
"Not to mention that the Empress was sad, even those who are servants were heartbroken when they heard it. But one thing is that even if the Empress was sad, she had to think about the overall situation. I was thinking that it was because the Grand Master could not let the Grand Master know about this matter. The Empress should have given the instructions." Wen Mingqian reminded.
