Chapter 308 Have a Good New Year
When Su Peisheng woke up again, he found that it was already dawn.
He sat up in horror and shouted in a low voice.
"Someone come quickly!"
Xiao Xiazi, who was guarding the main hall, hurried in and bowed to ask for instructions.
"Master, would you like to get up?"
"You bastard, it's already daybreak, why didn't you wake me up earlier?"
Su Peisheng asked sternly.
In all the years he had served his master, he had never been so rude except when he was too sick to get up.
The damn eunuch named Gao kept staring at the chair under his butt. Isn't this giving people a handle?
"Master, please don't worry. When the Emperor sent you back last night, he specifically instructed that your rest not be disturbed."
Xiao Xiazi replied with a smile.
This was the first time in all the years he had been in the palace that he had seen the chief eunuch crying bitterly.
The emperor ordered last night that no one should leak this matter, so Xiao Xia Zi could only secretly rejoice in her heart.
"You...you mean the emperor sent me back?"
Su Peisheng pointed at Xiao Xiazi tremblingly. He felt that he might not be sober yet, or perhaps he was still dreaming.
He originally wanted to lie back for a while, but the warm touch of Xiao Xiazi's hand told him that this was all real.
Su Peisheng racked his brains to recall what happened last night, but his mind was blank.
He slapped his head hard. Drinking really messes things up!
"Master, please don't worry. I noticed that the Emperor was not angry last night."
Xiao Xiazi lowered her voice and said.
"Last night, the Emperor helped you, unable to stand, from the Yangxin Palace back to the West Wing. Your disciple sees that even a pregnant empress in the harem couldn't compare to the Emperor's devotion to you."
"How dare you say such outrageous words! Hurry up and help me wash up!"
After hearing this, Su Peisheng felt even more uneasy.
What on earth did he do last night?
After everything was ready, Su Peisheng nervously came to the outside of the Yangxin Palace and stretched his head to check the emperor's expression.
The emperor happened to see his cowardly look and shouted in disgust.
"What are you looking at, you little dog slave?"
"Come in quickly!"
"Hey! Master, I'll come right in."
After Su Peisheng agreed, he rolled all the way to the emperor's feet like a playful kid.
"Your Majesty, I was disrespectful last night. Please forgive me."
The emperor blew away the osmanthus flowers floating on the honey water and spoke coolly.
"What crime have you committed? Tell me about it."
Su Peisheng thought for a moment and kowtowed heavily.
"Your servant... Your servant's fault is that you have not taken good care of the emperor and have caused trouble for him."
He had been serving the emperor since he was a child, and he always drank lightly. He didn't expect that he was so drunk last night that he didn't even know how he got home.
Su Peisheng swore in his heart that he would never drink again even if he was beaten to death.
The emperor looked at Su Peisheng and saw that he was in the same state as when he apologized before, so he knew that he could not remember what happened after he drank.
He forced a smile.
"Alright, I know you're a smooth talker, get up and talk."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Su Peisheng, who was relieved, didn't know that he had hugged the emperor tightly last night and kept saying that he felt sorry for his master.
"These are the emerald bean cakes and sugar cakes sent from the pastry shop. They are very greasy. Please help me finish them."
"I thank the Emperor for his kindness."
Su Peisheng, with an empty stomach, happily agreed.
Jade bean cake and sugar cake are his favorite pastries.
The emperor asked him to enjoy the meal in the main hall, and Su Peisheng found a seat in the corner.
He took a bite and found that the sweet jade bean cake was indeed as sweet as his master said.
The taste buds of older people deteriorate, so this is just the right sweetness for them.
There were five emerald bean cakes and five sugar cakes on the plate, and Su Peisheng ate them to his heart's content.
This little kitchen has some really good craftsmanship.
He had just finished two plates of dim sum when he heard the emperor speak calmly.
"Su Peisheng, I see you are still sick, go back and recuperate first."
Su Peisheng, with a numb head, couldn't figure out what his master meant, so he quickly stepped forward and knelt.
"Your Majesty, what did I do wrong?"
"I have just recovered from a serious illness, and I don't want to get sick again because of you."
Seeing Su Peisheng's face change drastically, the emperor added.
"Only when you are in good health can you have a good New Year."
"I thank the Emperor for his consideration."
Su Peisheng kowtowed several times, and the emperor signaled Xiao Xiazi, who was guarding the door, to help the person back.
Su Peisheng said last night that when he was a child he was most looking forward to celebrating the New Year in the palace, and he was the same.
During the Chinese New Year, elders give rewards and there are banquets to attend, so you don’t have to worry about not having enough to eat.
When the emperor was the only one left in the Yangxin Palace, his eyes became dark and difficult to discern.
"Xiao Dongzi, go call Zhang Wuwei over."
Su Peisheng had just lay down for a short time when he heard that the emperor had sent Zhang Wuwei to see him.
He was so moved that he burst into tears, and kept muttering that he would take the medicine well and return to the Yangxin Palace as soon as possible to serve his master.
"Doctor Zhang, how long do I need to take this medicine?"
Zhang Wuwei glanced at him indifferently and said calmly.
"Eunuch Su, it's not advisable to drink alcohol while taking medicine. As long as you take the medicine on time, you will definitely feel better within three days."
I don’t know how this old guy Su Peisheng got by, but the older he gets, the more the emperor values him.
He needs to find a chance to learn it properly.
The emperor has kept him in the palace for some time. I wonder if he will let him go back to reunite with his family?
Zhang Wuwei's thoughts drifted away, but his hands did not stop moving, and he checked Su Peisheng's whole body.
Half a minute later, he stood up and bowed.
"Eunuch Su, I still have to report to the Yangxin Palace, so I'll take my leave now."
As he was about to leave, he added awkwardly.
"This medicine is a bit bitter. Eunuch Su, you can prepare some sweet food in advance to reduce the taste."
"Thank you, Doctor Zhang, for the reminder."
Su Peisheng thanked him loudly.
There was still a little half of the sugar jar that the Sixth Prince had sent. If that wasn't enough, he could give some silver to the eunuch who went out to buy things, and he would be able to get some sugar.
As soon as Zhang Wuwei went out, he went straight to the Yangxin Palace.
"Your Majesty, I have carefully examined Eunuch Su and discovered that his right leg does bear signs of injury. I suspect it was caused by a club many years ago."
"But I didn't notice anything unusual about his right leg before."
The emperor took Su Peisheng's words to heart and sent Zhang Wuwei to check it out.
"Your Majesty, I would like to speculate that Eunuch Su was relatively young when he was injured, and that he was strong enough to endure it."
Zhang Wuwei paused and continued.
"After this humble inspection, I discovered other injuries on Eunuch Su's body. His hands and back both have old wounds."
"Okay, I understand. You can go down."
The emperor stared silently in the direction of Shoukang Palace for a long time without saying anything.
