Chapter 268 Hidden Disease
After hearing this, the emperor shook his head and replied with a smile: "Father, in my opinion, it shouldn't be the case. Think about it, hasn't the old doctor Tan always lived in the residence of the young uncle? Over the years, the old doctor Tan has spent a lot of time and effort to develop various new medicines. If the young uncle really had any hidden illness, it would have been discovered and cured long ago."
The retired emperor frowned slightly and muttered to himself thoughtfully, "Why is he so unwilling to get married? Could it be that he already has someone in his heart, a girl he likes? Never mind, go call Yun Er, I want to ask about this letter and your uncle's current health condition."
Soon, Yun Er hurried into the inner room. Just as he was about to kneel down to pay his respects, he was stopped by the Emperor: "No need to be so polite. You guys were personally selected by me back then. You grew up with Xing Yun. You can be said to be children that I watched grow up with my own eyes."
The emperor sat aside and immediately asked Yun Er, "Yun Er, do you know the specific contents of your master's letter?"
Yun Er was stunned for a moment, then he replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I don't know."
When the emperor heard this, a trace of doubt flashed across his face, and he continued to ask: "Then do you know if your master has a favorite girl?"
After hearing this, Yun Er was stunned for a moment, and he secretly complained in his heart, why did you suddenly ask this? How could I know all this! But he still gritted his teeth and replied: "Reply to the Emperor, I really know nothing about this."
The emperor didn't seem to be ready to give up, and continued to ask: "Then you should know which girl your master usually interacts with more frequently, right?"
"I've never heard that the master is close to that girl." Yun Er was confused. Why did the emperor and the retired emperor both ask about my master?
"Then does your master have any servants in his house?"
When Yun Er heard this, his head buzzed and he was once again in a state of confusion. How could he dare to talk about such a private matter so easily! Moreover, his master had nothing to say about this matter. So, he stammered and replied: "According to...according to my understanding, there should be...no. The maids serving in the master's room are all maids."
As soon as these words came out, the Emperor and the Emperor Emeritus both widened their eyes and raised their voices to ask, "What? All of them are maids? Could it be that your master likes older women?"
Yun Er was frightened and quickly waved his hands to explain: "No, no, no, that's not the case. It's just that the master really doesn't have a concubine around him."
At this time, the person who asked the question continued to ask: "Besides the maid in the mansion, which other family is your master close to?"
Yun Er calmed himself down a little, thought for a moment and said, "I have been getting closer to the Yang family these days."
"Which Yang family?" The person who asked the question frowned slightly, and asked impatiently. His eyes revealed curiosity and concern.
Yun Er quickly replied, "It's Miss Xiaocao'er's home. Her old lady likes my master very much. The day before I came back, my master personally led people to Qingshan Village and stayed at Miss Xiaocao'er's home that night. My master wrote this letter as soon as she returned home the next day, and then I rushed back without stopping."
That must have been the day when the potatoes were discovered! At that time, your uncle once said that the potatoes were found by chance when he went up the mountain with Xiao Cao'er and her second brother.
Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but wonder: "Then, will the things mentioned in the letter be discovered on the same day?" After speaking, the emperor turned his gaze to his father, as if he wanted to get the answer from him.
The Emperor nodded slightly, expressing his agreement, and said, "It is indeed possible. However, your uncle did not elaborate on this matter. In this case, you should write it down for him and put it together with the previous records. When he needs it, you can take it out together."
The emperor quickly replied, "Yes, I will order Gu Zhong to record this matter later. Now that I think about it, the merits of recording this matter have accumulated a lot."
The emperor smiled slightly and said with satisfaction: "The more records there are, the more it can show the great contribution they have made. This is a good deed. When the time is right, you must not be stingy when it comes to rewarding."
Then, the emperor changed the subject and asked, "By the way, how old is the little girl Xiaocaoer you mentioned? In recent years, I often hear Hua Ming talking about her."
Yun Er narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and said slowly: "Miss Xiaocao'er is about twelve years old now. Looking back to the past, when we first met her, she was just a little baby who was held tightly in someone's arms and was still crying for food. Time flies like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed..."
Hearing Yun Er's words, the emperor and the emperor looked at each other again, and they both thought that perhaps this was the reason why Qi Xingyun had not yet married. After all, the girl in front of them was still young, like a flower in bud, and she really needed more time to be carefully watered before she could bloom with her own brilliance.
