Chapter 647: Master Lu is in a bad condition

After walking out of the imperial study, Pei Zhaozhi made sure that there was no one around before he spoke to Shen Yanxi.

"I didn't expect the emperor's attitude to be so firm."

Although he also felt that the conditions proposed by Wen Yan could not be fully agreed to, he did not expect that the emperor would be so angry.

After all, he had just used the power of the black market to solve the problem of the emperor's poisoning, and he thought that the emperor was not completely opposed to the black market.

"I heard that the emperor has been in a bad mood these days. I think it's the same today."

Shen Yanxi thought of Emperor Xiao rubbing his eyebrows in annoyance just now, and a hint of worry appeared between his brows.

"I have asked Cheng Du and the imperial physician, Your Majesty, although the poison in your body has been eliminated, you are still more or less affected. I am afraid you will suffer from headaches and irritability."

"No wonder. Looking at the Emperor's appearance just now, he does seem to be feeling unwell. But is there no way to completely solve this problem?"

"According to the imperial physician, the remaining illness can be slowly cured through time and conditioning, but..." Shen Yanxi turned his head back to look in the direction of the imperial study, "The physical symptoms can be eliminated, but the heart's problems may be difficult to resolve."

The affair between the Fourth Prince and Concubine Cheng did not seem to cause much trouble in the palace, but for the Emperor, the knot in his heart might be difficult to untie.

Pei Zhaozhi understood what Shen Yanxi meant. Father and son killing each other, husband and wife turning against each other, such things would be unbearable for anyone, even the emperor.

The two of them didn't say anything more, and left the palace together, planning to go to the black market again.

As for the female officials, Jiang Suining and others also started their duties on the eighth day of the first lunar month.

After entering the palace in the morning, the three of them went to pay a visit to Queen Shi together, and then returned to the courtyard where they were on duty to begin dealing with the accumulated matters.

Wei Yao had a good New Year. She exuded a happy mood all over her body. She handled the affairs with ease and quickly immersed herself in them.

On the contrary, Lu Yan was obviously in a heavy mood. She had been sitting in front of the desk in a daze until Jiang Suining walked to her desk and came back to her senses.

"Do you want to go out for a walk?" Jiang Suining asked softly.

Only then did Lu Yan realize that she had been holding the brush in a daze and did not even notice that the ink from the tip of the brush had dripped onto the paper in front of her. She sighed lightly, put down the brush in her hand, stood up, and walked out of the yard with Jiang Suining.

"How is your grandfather doing?"

"It's still the same. Grandfather is old. Although he drinks the medicine prescribed by the doctor every day, he has not seen any effect."

My grandfather has been proud all his life, and now he is lying on the bed like this, which is really painful.

At the beginning, she was able to persuade her grandfather. In addition, the imperial physician said that if he was properly treated, he would get better, so her grandfather still had some confidence. But perhaps after some time, there was still no result, and her grandfather began to become more and more discouraged. Now he even had to be coaxed and persuaded to drink a few sips of medicine, and he ate very little.

She always thought that her grandfather was very tall, but during this period of time, she watched him become thinner and weaker, and she felt very sad.

Jiang Suining looked at Lu Yan and sighed in his heart, "You have to take care of your grandfather and work in the palace at the same time. It's really hard. You have to take care of your mood and body. If something happens to you, your grandfather will be left alone..."

Jiang Suining paused before he finished speaking, realizing that what he said was a little inappropriate, and smiled at Lu Yan apologetically.

"I'm sorry, I lost my temper."

"No need to apologize. You're right. If anything happens to me, there will be no one to take care of my grandfather. At the beginning, my father pretended to visit my grandfather every day, but after all this time, I guess he thinks my grandfather won't get better, and now he won't even show up. It's a joke to expect him to take care of my grandfather."

Lu Yan's tone revealed resentment towards Lu Wenshi.

Her grandfather might have been a little too strict with her father, and she also believed that her father might have been wronged under the halo of her grandfather.

But no matter what, her grandfather is like this now, and her father is becoming more and more indifferent day by day, which really makes her heart break.

After all, my father simply felt that my grandfather would not get better, would no longer be a help to him, and would no longer be able to threaten or teach him a lesson.

"Ayan, you and your father will still have to get along with each other in the end, so you still have to grasp the proper distance between them."

"Sui Ning, I know what you mean, but I have figured it out. Now I am a court lady in the palace, I can support myself, and I have the ability to make a living. Even if I leave the Lu family, I can live well. I have nothing to be afraid of."

If there is anything else that might be threatened by my father, it would be my marriage.

But she would never allow her father to flatter and curry favor through her marriage in order to pave the way for benefits for the Lu family or himself.

So at worst I won't get married and being a female official in this palace for the rest of my life isn't a bad idea!

Jiang Suining felt relieved when he saw that Lu Yan's eyes were clear and there was no sign of anger or resentment in them.

"From your looks, you have thought it through clearly, so I won't say much. But if you want to make a living on your own, you must cherish your current status as a female official. Now that you have entered the palace, you must do your job well and don't make any mistakes. If someone finds out you have made a mistake, it will be troublesome."

Lu Yan thought about the things she had just done and had no intention of dealing with them because of her chaotic thoughts. She bit her tongue lightly and nodded, "Okay, I'll remember that."

She just had a very unhappy year, and felt depressed, which made it difficult for her to concentrate for a while. Now that she has talked about it, she feels much better.

Lu Yan cheered up, looked at Jiang Suining and said, "Don't worry, I will adjust."

Jiang Suining smiled and nodded, "Then let's go back. There are still so many things waiting to be dealt with."

Lu Yan responded, and the two of them walked towards the duty direction together.

Thinking of the news that Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi had moved to a new house, Lu Yan smiled and said, "I haven't had time to congratulate you and Lord Shen on moving to a new house. I'm afraid I won't have time these days. I'll visit you later when I have time."

Jiang Suining smiled and said, "Okay, when you are free, you can come over anytime."

When they were about to reach the yard where they were on duty, they saw Wei Yao running out of the yard in a hurry, and they were stunned for a moment.

Seeing Lu Yan, Wei Yao immediately stepped forward.

"Ah Yan, hurry up! Go home quickly. Someone just sent a letter saying that Grand Tutor Lu is in a bad condition!"
