Chapter 588: Chapter 590, Always Worried
Romance is important, but serious matters are even more so.
When Yun Jinnian said this, Chu Yu had no choice but to follow up with, "What all have you encountered?"
In fact, he had already known, and had made arrangements.
He came to the Imperial Palace, still worried Yun Jinnian might suffer losses and feel distressed.
He feared even more that she would not adapt to the life in the royal palace and suffer grievances.
Of course, he also took the opportunity to scheme against Lan Yichen.
Yun Jinnian recounted all of today’s experiences, and Chu Yu listened intently, only snorting after she finished, "That old goods got lucky, actually receiving a Snow Lotus Pill from you!"
Yun Jinnian smiled without saying a word.
"However, although that old goods is vindictive, he is also grateful. Since you cured his chronic disease, he will surely help you in the palace in the future. If there is something he can’t help you with, go find Eunuch Hai; he is my person!"
Yun Jinnian was utterly astonished.
Eunuch Hai was Chu Yu’s person? Yet he served by the Emperor’s side?
"He was given to me by the late Emperor. Rest assured, I will speak with him, and he will look after you!"
Yun Jinnian nodded in a daze.
Indeed, the Imperial Palace was filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
However, the fact that Chu Yu was willing to share these matters with her indicated that he deeply trusted her.
"Also, be careful of the Empress!"
"Be careful of the Empress?" Yun Jinnian didn’t understand.
The Empress had treated her quite well, although after the incidents with Pan Yuan and Eunuch An, the Empress had some suspicions about her.
"Yes, be careful of the Empress. A woman who entered the palace and became the Empress for over a decade, yet bore no princes or princesses. However, not a single concubine in the harem dares to provoke her, and she manages the harem so well that no one can find the slightest fault!" Chu Yu said, feeling slightly cold and fearing Yun Jinnian might catch a chill, he pulled a thin blanket over her, "The relationship between the Emperor and the Empress is not harmonious, but the Emperor also doesn’t dare to easily depose her. The reasons include the influence of the Zhuangyong Marquis Residence and the formidable methods of the Empress!"
Yun Jinnian thought carefully and found it made sense.
Leaning into Chu Yu’s embrace, his body was warm and comfortable.
Amidst the gentle warmth and fragrant softness, Chu Yu’s heart raced uncontrollably.
Yet he dared not act rashly and continued, "There’s another thing. Tonight, I entered the palace just as I had calculated the Imperial Guard Commander Lan Yichen and Princess Zhuang’s scheme to bring a woman into the palace. That woman is Xiu Xunxun from Yangxi City, now named Le Xun, and it’s because of her the Emperor broke his discipline!"
Yun Jinnian was stunned.
"Is she very beautiful?"
"A bewitching woman, not even fit to carry your shoes. You needn’t concern yourself with her. However, one thing is certain, the Emperor will definitely not bear to kill her, but before she entered the palace, she was poisoned by Princess Zhuang and Noble Consort Wei with Barrenwort. I’ll find the prescription for Barrenwort another day, and you see if you can develop an antidote. Then we’ll rid her of the poison!"
Yun Jinnian was no fool, and instantly understood Chu Yu’s plot.
She just didn’t understand who Chu Yu wanted to scheme against.
"The Emperor will have no offspring from now on!"
If the Emperor would have no offspring, yet one of his consorts was pregnant, whose child would it be? Whoever got involved would be unfortunate.
Truly ruthless!
"No offspring, then no offspring it is. Anyway, he has so many children already, that’s not lacking. But as for me, I am still alone!" Chu Yu said, moving closer to Yun Jinnian, "When will you marry me and bear children for me?"
At his words, Yun Jinnian felt both shy and annoyed. They had been discussing others, and suddenly the conversation turned to her.
She pushed Chu Yu away seriously and said, "I’m still young. Even if we are together in the future, we should wait until I’m seventeen or eighteen to have children..."
