“You two really have similar personalities. One says thank you here, and the other says thank you there.”
“Then I won’t say thank you to Big Brother anymore. In the future, whenever there’s something good, I’ll make sure Yuanbao sends some over to you.” Wang Jinhe quickly added, knowing that Su Jiu didn’t like hearing such words.
Hearing this, Su Yu couldn’t help but smile, “Then, Big Brother will be pleased.”
“Why? You get to eat good things every day, and I’m not allowed to send some to you?” Is this how younger brothers should behave?
A sentence made Su Yu sigh helplessly, “It’s not like that.”
He had also given Su Jiu many good things, but why couldn’t Big Brother remember?
“That’s about right.”
“In the future, if you have anything novel here, let Yuan Bao send it to the capital for me. I’ll help you present it to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager,” Su Jiu said, actually trying to speak favorably for Wang Jinhe in front of the royal family.
“Okay.”
After chatting with Su Jiu for a while, the two left. After they were gone, Su Jiu went to find Su Xi.
Su Xi, upon hearing about the matter with Xie Yang, was somewhat impatient, “Why is this girl from the Xie family so shameless? She’s really annoying.”
“Xiao Jiu, handle this matter with the Emperor. Don’t let your younger brother suffer,” Su Xi said, worried.
“Grandfather, rest assured. Prepare some wine tomorrow, and I’ll leave early the day after tomorrow. You and Xuanxuan stay here for a while. The fruits and vegetables here are good for your health. Take care.” Su Jiu couldn’t help but worry about Su Xi; since there was an opportunity, he couldn’t let Su Xi miss it.
“Alright, I’ll take Xuanxuan back before the New Year. As for Feng Zhen, when you go back, see him, and handle your sister’s matter as well.” Su Jiu, being the eldest, is delegated many things to do.
Su Jiu nodded, “Grandfather, I understand. Don’t worry.”
While the two were talking, Su Yu and Wang Jinhe were also discussing the matter in the courtyard.
Su Yu told Wang Jinhe everything Su Jiu had said. After listening, Wang Jinhe’s eyes revealed a thoughtful look, “In that case, we can make some fruit tea for the Empress. She can use it to make a drink.”
“Although the effect is a bit slower, it’s good for nurturing the body. It’s best if the child turns out to be a boy,” Wang Jinhe said. “I really hope it’s a boy.”
Wang Jinhe didn’t have any good feelings toward Xie Yang because of her gaze. As long as her family didn’t fare well, she was happy.
“We hope the same.” This child carried too much weight.
As long as it was a prince, everything related to the Xie family would be in vain, fearing that the child might encounter problems.
“In the palace, protecting a child’s safe birth and then ensuring their safe upbringing is extremely difficult.” Otherwise, the Emperor wouldn’t keep the child’s existence a secret even after six months. Only a few people probably knew about it.
“Who would disagree?” Especially if Concubine Ling knew, she might harm the child’s life.
“Let’s not talk about that. Let the Emperor and others worry about it; it’s none of our concern.” Su Yu said without any reservation.
Hearing Su Yu’s words, Wang Jinhe looked at him with a wry smile. “Isn’t your wording a bit too harsh?”
“To be honest, if you’re going to prepare something for the Empress’s health, we need to hurry back tomorrow; Big Brother will leave the day after tomorrow.”
“Alright.” Wang Jinhe considered whether to make fruit preserves directly, using pure spring water for better effects. However, if the Empress already had something, it should be presented to the Empress Dowager.
“On the way back, prepare some sealable jars. I’ll make canned fruits for the Empress and the Empress Dowager, but…” Wang Jinhe hesitated, unsure whether to tell Su Yu.
“But what?” Su Yu looked at Wang Jinhe curiously.
Wang Jinhe took a deep breath. “I’ll tell you when we get back to the room.”
“Okay.”
Back in the room, Wang Jinhe walked to the table and placed her hand above a water glass. While Su Yu wondered what Wang Jinhe was doing, he saw water emerging from her fingertips, falling into the glass.
Su Yu looked at the water in the glass in amazement. “This is…”
“This is Lingquan water. There’s a spring inside my body. The real thing that nurtures the body is the spring water. As for the vegetables and fruits grown in my family, I water them with diluted spring water. So, they also have an effect when consumed regularly.” Wang Jinhe kept her head down, not looking into Su Yu’s eyes. She didn’t know how to face him or what his reaction would be.
The reason she wanted to tell Su Yu was that Xie Yang’s appearance had made her feel a sense of crisis. The Emperor, Empress, and Empress Dowager were undoubtedly the best supporters. If she wanted them to be her backers, there were some things she had to do.
Su Yu frowned at Wang Jinhe. “Are you planning to use this spring water to make canned fruits and improve the health of the Empress and the Empress Dowager?”
“Yes, that’s my plan. With Xie Yang’s family having a concubine and a two-generation elder in the court, even if the Emperor is willing to help us, without absolute benefits, they might not assist us much. So, I think if we can quickly improve the health of the Empress Dowager and ensure the Empress and her child become healthier, our chances of success will be much higher.” Wang Jinhe shared her thoughts with Su Yu.
“Although Big Brother is also an official, the gap in position with Xie Chen is too significant. If we have the favor of the Empress Dowager and the Empress, the Emperor will be more firmly on our side.” Wang Jinhe finished speaking and looked at Su Yu. “What do you think?”
“Your idea is correct, but you can’t use only spring water,” Su Yu thought more than Wang Jinhe.
“Why?” Wang Jinhe asked, puzzled.
“First, tell me the specific effects of this spring water,” Su Yu said, looking at Wang Jinhe with a serious expression.
Wang Jinhe frowned and thought for a moment. “When I first obtained the spring, my body was very weak. After drinking some spring water for about two days, I no longer felt that weakness, and my body became very healthy.”
With Wang Jinhe’s explanation, Su Yu understood the specific effects of the spring water and frowned, contemplating the issue of the proportion of spring water.
“When you make canned fruits, use one bowl of spring water to dilute ten bowls of regular water.” According to Wang Jinhe, by diluting it this way, the effect would only be one-tenth of the spring water, making it slower to show results but not too exaggerated.
Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu with confusion, “Why not make the Empress Dowager feel better right away?”
“Wang Jinhe, don’t be too naive. Do you know what it means if people find out about this here? One-tenth of the effect is already good. What we need to do is let the Empress Dowager gradually see the results, not see the effects in just one or two days. Do you understand how extraordinary this effect is? Don’t be too naive,” Su Yu said helplessly, looking at Wang Jinhe.
