Chapter 301 Helping the elder sister to hit His Majesty's heart
"I'm fine, Susu. Please write the letter quickly and send it out before the palace is closed so that your family can rest assured."
Fei Wan urged gently in a weak voice.
Yu Sujin wrote as she spoke, "Eldest sister is so injured. Even if I wrote that everything is fine, my family might not believe it. Instead, they might worry about me. It's better to tell the truth. Maybe..."
"No!" Fei Wan stood up anxiously before she could finish. "There are troubles at home. Haven't you heard about the land purchase case? Lord Yu is busy with official duties. How can I make things worse and make them worry about me again?"
Yu Sujin and Xiang Yi both rushed forward to support Fei Wan, preventing her from hurting her wound.
"Eldest sister, Susu will listen to you. Please lie down properly!"
"My lady, be careful of your injuries!"
The two of them had their backs to the door. Fei Wan used their bodies to block the view, winked, and said in a very low voice, "Don't look back. His Majesty has arrived."
Both were accidents.
But neither looked back.
He was still anxiously persuading Fei Wan to lie down again.
Xiang Yi took a handkerchief and wiped the non-existent cold sweat from Fei Wan's forehead. "Look at you sweating so much when you move. Why bother? You're seriously injured, but you're thinking about Concubine Yue, Miss Ying, the palace maids in prison, and the Yu Mansion. Didn't the imperial physician tell you not to overwork? How can you recover if you keep thinking too much like this?"
Yu Sujin's pen flew quickly as she wrote a letter home and read it to Fei Wan.
But they were all warm greetings, and words of advice to the family not to worry about Concubine Zhao's injury.
Just a bunch of nonsense.
It was read out loud for the king outside the curtain to hear.
Yu Sujin finished reading and choked up, "Eldest sister, Susu has written everything according to your instructions. I will send someone to send it out of the palace soon."
"Go now, so that the family can rest assured." Fei Wan lay on the pillow, half-closed her eyes and urged, "After delivering the letter, go and accompany Sister Ying. She must be very sad because of her sudden miscarriage. Or, go to Concubine Yue and see how she is doing. She is more seriously injured than me."
Yu Sujin burst into tears, "Eldest sister, Susu has already been to Changle Palace. Noble Concubine Yue wasn't as badly injured as you. She even said that you were the one who lay on top of her and blocked many of the blows for her. Are you stupid? You're clearly weak, and you've finally recovered, but now you're suffering like this... and yet you're always worried about others!"
Fei Wan sighed, "Be obedient and go. After all, it was because I was so busy with palace affairs and didn't take good care of Sister Ying that this disaster happened, and it also implicated Concubine Yue. How can I not miss them?"
Yu Sujin felt ashamed after hearing this and knelt down in front of Fei Wan's bed.
"Eldest sister, it's all Susu's fault!"
She burst into tears, "Susu shouldn't have advised His Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation. As a result, you and Concubine Yue both suffered in the torture chamber! Sister, please hit me, scold me, and don't be so nice to me anymore. Susu can't bear it! I just went to apologize to Concubine Yue, and she was so angry that she wouldn't let me in. Sister, how can you not scold me? How can you be so kind..."
Fei Wan forced herself to open her eyes. "Did Concubine Yue blame you? She has a quick temper and is in pain, so it's inevitable that she'll be a little irritable. But she's very reasonable. When she comes to her senses, she won't really blame you. You can go and explain it to her properly then."
"Eldest sister, don't you suspect that she has something to do with Sister Ying's miscarriage? She's hostile to you. When Lin Shui reported her, she even suspected you..."
"Don't criticize Concubine Yue. She's always been very kind to me." Fei Wan admonished weakly, "She's sometimes jealous, and it's because I was promoted too quickly that she misunderstood that Your Majesty didn't care about her. In fact, she has a good heart. How could she harm Zhishu? You are not allowed to doubt her from now on."
Yu Sujin burst into tears, "Sister, how could you be so kind to me? I'm not worthy of being your sister. I actually... sent you to the palace..."
"You're right. As concubines, we should follow the palace rules." Fei Wan let Xiang Yi support her, weakly holding up half of her body, and advised, "You can put aside sisterly feelings and put His Majesty first. Consider His Majesty and the royal heir first. I believe His Majesty will deal with it fairly. It's hard to believe. My punishment was just an accident, and it doesn't mean you did anything wrong. Don't regret it. If you encounter something like this again in the future, you must put aside personal feelings and put His Majesty and the overall situation first. Remember?"
Yu Sujin just cried.
Fei Wan's tone became more severe: "Did you hear that?"
"My lady, please agree to it quickly and don't make the queen worry." Xiang Yi urged anxiously.
Yu Sujin then cried and nodded desperately: "Eldest sister, please rest quickly. Susu has remembered everything. Susu will listen to you and do everything for the sake of His Majesty."
"Ah."
Fei Wan was already exhausted. Xiang Yi helped her lie down on the pillow, barely able to breathe.
I closed my eyes and couldn't utter a word.
But he still pointed at Yu Sujin, as if he wanted to say something.
Xiang Yi said quickly, "Miss Yu, the Empress is urging you to deliver the letter home to the letter room and to visit Miss Ying. Please don't delay."
"I'm going right now!"
Yu Sujin wiped her tears, grabbed the letter from home and left.
When he reached outside the curtain, he was suddenly startled.
He opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by the emperor.
Xiao Yu put his finger to his lips, silently signaling her not to make a sound, and waved his hand for her to leave.
Yu Sujin bowed in fear, and left Chunxi Palace with a worried look on her face, looking back every few steps.
Only after she walked a long way outside did her tears gradually stop and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
This conversation with my elder sister has helped her touch the heart of His Majesty, right?
I only hope that my eldest sister will be honored and favored forever, so that I can help her maintain her prosperity!
In the inner room of Chunxi Hall, Emperor Xiao Yu had already walked in silently.
He waved his hand to send the surprised Xiangyi away.
He tiptoed to the brocade stool beside the bed, reached out, and gently stroked Fei Wan's shoulder.
