"Of course I want you all to get some rest. After all, Bao'er, you need to rest too, and Liu Hong, you still have work to do tomorrow!"
Jiang Yun's concern deeply moved Liu Hong and Bao'er.
The next day, Jiang Yun bid a reluctant farewell to the three of them, but left them with a waist token.
He also had a silver note worth ten thousand taels. He then bid farewell to the three of them and went back to the Summer Palace.
Jiang Yun also prepared some medicine for this trip down the mountain, specifically for dealing with the Empress and the Empress Dowager.
Jiang Yun had already decided who would help him use it; he would have Consort Ling help him with it from the perspective of the Empress Dowager.
The Empress is naturally Consort Yu. Jiang Yun thought of Consort Yu; it had been a long time since she had visited her.
Jiang Yun was really looking forward to Consort Yu's honey pot. As she passed by Consort Yu's courtyard, Jiang Yun suddenly missed Consort Yu's scent, so she turned around and went into Consort Yu's courtyard.
Jiang Yun entered the courtyard where Consort Yu lived. The maid who was guarding outside Consort Yu's palace saw Jiang Yun coming and quickly stepped forward to bow and greet her, saying, "This servant greets the First Prince."
"No need for such formalities, we see each other every day."
Jiang Yun waved her hand and smiled kindly at the maid. Generally speaking, Jiang Yun was always this good-natured towards maids who posed no harm to her.
However, the maid's next action displeased Jiang Yun. The maid said, "Eldest Prince, are you here to see the Empress?"
"yes."
Jiang Yun replied.
"Your Highness, it's really unfortunate. Her Majesty just gave an order that she wants to live in seclusion and will not see anyone."
The maidservant said with a smile.
"No one is being seen?"
Jiang Yun suppressed his anger. "I'm her man now, and she still won't see me. Is she trying to rebel?"
"Please go and inform them that Jiang Yun has important business to discuss with Consort Yu."
Seeing Jiang Yun's firm stance, the maid blushed and stammered, "This—"
He looked very embarrassed.
"Just go when I tell you to, why all the nonsense?"
Jiang Yun said impatiently, her voice involuntarily rising.
"Okay, fine."
After thinking for a long time, the maid finally nodded and reluctantly agreed. She naturally dared not disobey Consort Yu's order.
However, it seems that this eldest prince, Jiang Yun, is not an easy person to deal with. After all, he is a favorite of Consort Ling and has a lot of prestige among the palace maids.
The maid turned and went into Consort Yu's palace. After a long while, there was no movement, and Jiang Yun was getting impatient.
Jiang Yun walked to an ancient tree in the courtyard and idly counted the withered yellow leaves: one leaf, two leaves, three leaves... ninety-nine leaves...
Finally, Jiang Yunshu got so angry that he walked straight inside.
Just then, the maid who had gone in to announce their arrival came over and bowed to Jiang Yun, saying, "Your Highness, Consort Yu requests your presence."
