Chapter 194 Entering the Palace
The two of them laughed and joked for a while before they stopped.
Jiang Yutong seemed to be thinking about something. It seemed that Du Xiaoyao had a good impression of her brother. It was also her fault that she was slow and had not noticed it for so long.
Jiang Yutong couldn't figure out what her brother meant, but he didn't even look at her, his biological sister, the entire day.
Jiang Yutong invited Du Xiaoyao to have dinner at his house.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Yutong wanted Jiang Yuwen and Du Xiaoyao to spend more time together, so he said to Jiang Yuwen, "Brother, it's getting late, you should take Xiaoyao back."
Du Xiaoyao felt even more embarrassed at this moment, as if Jiang Yutong had seen through her thoughts.
He quickly refused and said, "Don't bother Brother Yuwen."
Jiang Yuwen did consider Du Xiaoyao's safety. "It's not a big deal. I'll get you home safely. Yutong will be relieved too."
Unable to refuse, Du Xiaoyao had no choice but to let Jiang Yuwen take her home.
Du Xiaoyao was sitting in a carriage, while Jiang Yuwen was riding a horse beside her. The carriage was moving slowly and leisurely. The sound of the horse's hooves seemed to step on Du Xiaoyao's heart.
Du Xiaoyao opened the curtain and saw Jiang Yuwen's profile. Jiang Yuwen heard the noise and turned around to ask, "Miss Du, is there something wrong?"
Du Xiaoyao shook her head. "Nothing. Thank you, Brother Yuwen, for making you come here."
Then Du Xiaoyao found a few topics to chat with Jiang Yuwen. The two talked as they walked. In order to hear Du Xiaoyao's topic clearly, Jiang Yuwen's horse had to move closer to the carriage.
Du Xiaoyao took a small can of sour plums from the carriage and said, "Brother Yuwen, you're bored on the road, so I'll give it to you."
Jiang Yuwen didn't like sour food, but seeing Du Xiaoyao's expectant eyes, he reached out and took one out of the jar and put it in his mouth. The sour taste immediately filled his mouth and his face wrinkled.
Du Xiaoyao also took one and put it in her mouth. Although she frowned, her face was full of smiles. She had liked the sweet and sour taste of plums since she was a child.
Then he saw Jiang Yuwen's frowning face, "Brother Yuwen, don't you like sour food?"
Jiang Yuwen suppressed the sourness in his mouth and replied, "Not bad."
Then Du Xiaoyao's chuckle was heard.
Jiang Yuwen scratched his head and smiled.
When Jiang Yuwen returned home, Jiang Yutong hurried to greet him. Seeing that Jiang Yuwen seemed in a good mood, he asked, "Brother, did you send Xiaoyao back? Why did you take so long?"
Jiang Yuwen nodded, "Miss Du's brother Du Wenshu just went out to pick someone up, and I chatted with him for a while at the door."
Jiang Yutong nodded. "As long as she's safely delivered, I'm glad. Xiaoyao's here, and I have a new friend. I don't know many people in Beijing."
Jiang Yuwen thought about it and found that his sister really didn't have many friends around her. If he looked closely, he would find that Jiang Yutong was a difficult person to approach. When making friends with Du Xiaoyao, it was mostly Du Xiaoyao who came up to him.
Jiang Yuwen secretly thought that he should let Miss Du come to the mansion more often to accompany his sister in the future.
The emperor, who had been out of touch for a long time, sent an oral order, asking Jiang Yutong to come to the palace.
Jiang Yutong followed the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict into the palace. The emperor was in the imperial study at the moment, with his head lowered looking at the memorial in his hand. Jiang Yutong bowed respectfully.
"Greetings to the Emperor, long live the Emperor."
Jiang Yutong rested her head on her hands, waiting for the person above to call her.
Fortunately, the emperor didn't let her kneel for long. "Stand up and talk."
Jiang Yutong then thanked him and stood up. He didn't dare to look around, but only looked at the ground under his feet.
The emperor's voice came, "I didn't expect it to be a little girl like you."
Jiang Yutong didn't respond, so the emperor continued, "Do you know why I came to see you?"
Jiang Yutong shook her head, "I don't know."
"There have been some problems with this grenade recently, go and take a look,"
Jiang Yutong frowned, not knowing what went wrong. However, since she had created this thing herself, she should solve it herself. Jiang Yutong nodded, "As you command."
The Emperor's voice came again, "Send someone to accompany you. Let's let the Seventh Prince go with you to do this. What do you think?"
Jiang Yutong didn't dare to object, "I will obey the emperor."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Go down."
Jiang Yutong lowered his head and walked out without even glancing at the emperor.
After leaving the imperial study and walking towards the palace gate, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure waiting there in the distance. It could be none other than Xiao Yifeng.
Jiang Yutong was delighted and a smile appeared on her face.
He bowed to Xiao Yifeng and said, "Greetings, Pluto."
Xiao Yifeng smiled and said, "Get up."
Then Xiao Yifeng said to the eunuch behind Jiang Yutong, "You go and do your work. I will take Miss Jiang out of the palace."
The eunuch looked at Hades, who was also a frequent visitor in the palace, and saw nothing to worry about, so he took his leave.
After the eunuch left, Xiao Yifeng looked at Jiang Yutong carefully. "I heard you entered the palace, so I rushed over immediately. Is everything going well?"
Jiang Yutong nodded, "The Emperor asked me and the Seventh Prince to deal with the grenade issue together."
The two of them walked towards the palace gate while talking. Jiang Yutong asked Xiao Yifeng beside him, "What's the matter with this grenade?"
Xiao Yifeng shook his head. "I don't know the details, but I know that the emperor recently imprisoned several people who were in charge of grenade management. Go find out first. If you have any questions, come to me. Old Seven is a capable person, and it will be more convenient for you to have him around."
Jiang Yutong nodded. Indeed, with the Seventh Prince around, everyone was a little wary. Otherwise, with Jiang Yutong's status and position, others might not buy into it, and it would be difficult to do this.
At this moment, a sound of chaotic footsteps was heard, and many palace maids and eunuchs ran towards a palace.
Xiao Yifeng frowned, grabbed a eunuch and asked, "What happened?"
Seeing that it was Hades, the eunuch told him everything, "Empress Wan is having a difficult birth, and everyone is rushing here right now."
Concubine Wan, Xiao Yifeng frowned. Concubine Wan's mother's family was on good terms with the Dou family. When Xiao Yifeng was young, she took a lot of care of him. Concubine Wan had been in the palace for quite some time, but unfortunately, she had always had difficulty in having children. This time, she had managed to keep the baby with great difficulty, but problems arose during the delivery.
Jiang Yutong saw that Xiao Yifeng looked unhappy, and knew in her heart that this person was very important to Xiao Yifeng.
"I can give it a try."
Xiao Yifeng shook his head and prepared to leave, "Let's go out."
At this time, another group of people hurried over. It could not be anyone else but the emperor. Xiao Yifeng quickly took Jiang Yutong to pay his respects.
The emperor's face showed a rare trace of anxiety. "No need to be so polite."
Jiang Yutong mustered up the courage to speak, "Your Majesty, I have some knowledge of medicine, and perhaps I can help Concubine Wan."
The emperor glanced at Jiang Yutong, who lowered her head, and remembered that her grandfather was a former imperial physician. He nodded and said, "Then you come with us."
Then he said to Xiao Yifeng, "You come too."
Xiao Yifeng glanced at Jiang Yutong. He originally didn't want to involve Jiang Yutong, but he didn't expect Jiang Yutong to get involved himself.
The group hurried towards Huaqing Palace.
