The emperor's uncle is the only favorite: the mysterious doctor's crazy concubine is going

Chapter 197 It’s all a routine
The Ghost Festival didn't stop all day long, and the old lady couldn't eat much.
After washing up in the evening, Aunt Yuan was worried that the old lady would be hungry in the middle of the night and would be in bad health, so she cooked a bowl of white fungus porridge.
The old lady had just finished eating and couldn't lie down to sleep, so she passed the time by reading a book while lying on her back.
When someone announced that the second lady was coming, the old lady was a little strange: "It's so late, what is the second lady doing here?"
Before the visitor could reply, Shen Zhuoxi came in, smelling obviously of alcohol and stumbling when speaking: "Greetings to grandma."
"How much have you drunk?" The old lady quickly put down the book and stood up, scolding the dragonfly who followed her, and said: "You servants, why don't you look at the lady."
"Miss, you can't drink too much. Drinking like this will hurt your health."
Dragonfly supported Shen Zhuoxi and explained: "The slaves and maids have tried to persuade the young lady, but who knew that several people from the Jiang family insisted on drinking with the young lady and even carried out Princess Xiaoqing to hold her down."
"In front of everyone, the young lady tried to push her several times without success, so she had no choice but to drink and leave."
The old lady frowned even more tightly and said displeasedly: "These people in the Jiang family are, at best, relatives. At worst, they are fighting against the autumn wind in the name of relatives."
"After living in the Grand Master's Mansion for so long, I really think that I am my master. I am Princess Xiaoqing when I open my mouth but don't speak. Are they worthy?"
After venting a few words, he quickly ordered Aunt Yuan: "Hurry up and prepare the soup to sober up."
"My servant has sent someone away." Aunt Yuan poured a cup of hot water over, handed it to Dragonfly, and said, "Give the second lady something to drink. Drunk people tend to get thirsty."
"Thank you, mama." Shen Zhuoxi was half drunk and took the cup. His hands were shaking violently. After drinking it in one gulp, he collapsed and leaned against Dragonfly.
She was obviously drunk and had a silly smile, innocent and cute.
The old lady couldn't help but touched the top of her head: "If you drink too much, have a good sleep. Your head won't hurt tomorrow. Why are you still here?"
Shen Zhuoxi giggled and did not answer.
Dragonfly, who was supporting her, quickly replied, "Miss, she was already lying on the couch, but she suddenly stood up and got dressed. She said that she looked at you with a bad look on your face during the day and wanted to check your pulse."
"But there are too many things to do. I've been busy and delayed. I have to come over at night no matter what, for fear of delaying you."
"For me?" The old lady's face was a little surprised, and the look she looked at Shen Zhuoxi was a little more loving - she could still think of her when she was drunk, more than any of the remaining grandchildren. Take heart.
"Yes." Dragonfly's voice was a little softer: "I saw that the young lady was unable to walk steadily, so I tried to persuade her to come back during the day tomorrow, but the young lady refused, saying that she couldn't worry about you."
"I have no choice but to come here and ask the old lady to forgive me."
"She has good intentions. You are a maid for the sake of your master." The old lady did not blame her. She only said: "Help the young lady to rest on the couch for a while. She will be sober after a while and then send her back."
"I won't go back." When Shen Zhuoxi, who had his eyes closed, heard this, he suddenly stood up and said, "I want to check my grandmother's pulse. My grandmother's face looks dark today."
With that said, he grabbed the old lady's wrist.
Just because he drank too much, he was swaying and couldn't feel where his pulse was.
Her hands were slightly cold, and it was very comfortable to touch them on a summer evening.
The old lady looked at her appearance and couldn't help laughing: "Do you know where the pulse is?"
"Here." Shen Zhuoxi pinched the old lady's wrist and just pressed it up, but her hand moved away uncontrollably. She pouted and muttered: "Why are you so naughty?"
"You are naughty, how can you check your pulse like this?" The old lady laughed and held her hand instead: "Forget it, since you are thinking about me, you can rest in Jing'an Garden tonight."
"Mother Yuan, ask someone to tidy up the room next door and lay out a new quilt. The second lady will stay here tonight."
Aunt Yuan responded and went to do it. The old lady pulled Shen Zhuoxi and sat down next to her.
Shen Zhuoxi's eyes were blurred, and he leaned towards the old lady, and fell asleep again, still holding the old lady's hand tightly.
"Oh, this child." The old lady touched her hand and sighed: "It's hard for her to maintain such a mentality after experiencing so much."
Shen Zhuoxi lowered her head, but the old lady did not see the sarcasm flashing across her eyes that suddenly opened.
She was planning this now.
To put it bluntly, I can’t tell you how much the old lady loves her.
Not to mention his son Shen Heshan, among the grandchildren, Shen Zehuan is a male and ranks first, followed by Shen Xinjiao who grew up under the old lady's knees, and Shen Zhuoxi barely ranks third.
Originally, Shen Xinyu should be ranked ahead of Shen Zhuoxi, but because of the prince and what happened tonight, it was impossible for her.
However, the old lady has sympathy for Shen Zhuoxi, and she behaves well, and with the relationship between the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness King Yu, as long as the interests of the two most important people in the old lady's heart are not involved, he will definitely be willing to treat her well. .
Shen Zhuoxi chose Old Taijun tonight for this reason.
The reason she came was because she was worried about the old lady's health. The old lady would not doubt her, but would love Shen Zhuoxi even more because of this relationship.
After a while, when something happens, I will naturally hate the Jiang family even more!
After a while, Shen Zhuoxi's breathing became evener.
The old lady thought she was asleep, so she gently called out to Aunt Yuan and Dragonfly, and sent them to sleep next to her. The old lady also turned off the lights and went to sleep.
In the Taishi Mansion, except for the workers who were busy repairing the ancestral hall, the lamps were still lit, and the other courtyards were extinguished one after another.
Jiang Hongtao came out of Dongke Courtyard, tiptoed, huddled in the dark, and finally reached Qingfeng Building. Fortunately, the door was unlocked.
It was dark inside the building. Jiang Hongtao didn't know why, but he felt frightened and was afraid to move forward.
After all, today is the Ghost Festival!
But thinking of Huang and Jiang Chao's instructions that after tonight, he would be able to live in the Imperial Master's Mansion forever and have endless money to spend, he gradually became more courageous.
Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Jiang had already drawn the distribution of Qingfeng Tower, and these days he memorized it by rote and kept it firmly in his mind.
After gritting his teeth, he touched the wall and moved slowly upstairs.
Jiang Hongtao had never been here before. The last time he planned to come to Qingfeng Building for dinner, Shen Zhuoxi took him to Biheyuan for dinner before he entered.
This was his first time entering, so he didn't know that Shen Zhuoxi had slightly changed the pattern of Huang's painting.
He went up to the second floor, and as soon as he entered Shen Zhuoxi's room, he tripped over a chair at the door.
Moreover, there was a basin placed on the chair. I don't know if it was filled with water or something else. The ground was slippery when he stepped on it. He couldn't get up at the first time, and then fell to the ground again.
After two consecutive falls, the noise was not as big as usual.
Soon, lights were lit inside and outside the Qingfeng Building. Huizhi, the leader, walked in without carrying a lantern and asked, "Who is it?"
Jiang Hongtao didn't dare to answer the question while he was on the ground, and silently climbed to the wall.
Huizhi is a martial arts practitioner, and the movements in the dark made her more sensitive. She accurately found Jiang Hongtao's location and started fighting him head-on.
