Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 53
However, just when she was about to open her mouth to excuse her daughter, a servant girl hurried in from the outside, blessed them, and reported in a low-browed way: "His Royal Highness, Master, there are people from Changwuhou's mansion." .”

"Who's here?" Su Yao, the British official, asked.

"It's Steward Sun of Changwuhou Mansion." The girl replied respectfully.

All eyes were on Huo Yuan, it must be no small matter that the Marquis of Changwu sent a butler here.

"What happened?" Huo Yuan asked immediately.

The girl lowered her head even lower, and said: "According to Steward Sun, the imperial decree from the palace has arrived, and Mrs. Hou's wife asked Lord Hou and his wife to go back immediately. The eunuch who delivered the decree is still waiting in the Hou's mansion." !"

"Pass the decree? Who is it for?" The eldest princess suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart and asked sharply.

"Say it quickly!" Seeing that girl faltering and refusing to speak, the Eldest Princess immediately glared at her and urged.

Although the girl was afraid that the Eldest Princess would anger her, she was even more afraid of her lust, and immediately stammered, "Yes...it was passed on to Mrs. Changwuhou, it seems to be...an imperial decree bestowed upon her."

What? !An imperial decree to bestow imperial orders?Princess Shouning couldn't help but gritted her teeth in resentment, the usual superior look on her face finally cracked at this moment.

"No, it's impossible! How could His Majesty give her an imperial order? You must have heard it wrong." After recovering from her senses, Princess Shouning couldn't believe her ears, and immediately said firmly.

This is ridiculous.

How could the Holy Majesty support Su Wan'er?
Where did he put their British government in doing this?Where would she put her own aunt?

Moreover, this Su Wan'er is already so disobedient now, if the imperial order is sealed, wouldn't it be against the heavens, how will she handle her in the future?

No, she doesn't believe it anyway.

The girl was so frightened that she said tremblingly: "Slave... I dare not lie, butler Sun really said so."

When Princess Shouning heard the words, the trace of luck in her heart was extinguished in an instant, and her complexion suddenly became a little grayer.

The eldest princess of Shouning has been hit so hard, let alone the princess of Baoling County.

It was true that she disliked it more than anyone else.

Doesn't she dare to despise Su Wan'er because she relies on her status, and Su Wan'er is white and has no one to back her up?
If Su Wan'er had the imperial order, if she really wanted to pursue this matter, then she would definitely not be accomplices, and it would be settled in confinement, and even the queen might intervene.

She has already completely offended Su Wan'er to death, if Su Wan'er intentionally retaliates and maliciously arranges a few words about her in front of the empress, will her reputation be ruined?
County Lord Baoling bit her lips firmly, with hatred and fear in her heart, it was rare for her to feel a trace of remorse in her heart.

British Duke Su Yao showed regret on his face. It was because he knew that His Majesty wanted to grant Su Wan a gift, so he wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, it was still a step too late.

Although the formal procedure of bestowing imperial edicts is somewhat cumbersome, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War need to approve the position and name of the recipient, and then the Imperial Academy drafts the text according to the formula.At the time of the closing ceremony, the Zhongshu Department copied it, and after it was checked by the imperial edict room of the cabinet, it was stamped with the imperial treasure and issued. It would take a few days at the fastest.

But if the emperor opened the Chrysostom, things would naturally be different, even faster than this.Therefore, Su Yao was not surprised to hear the news at this time.

What worried him was that Su Wan'er hadn't woken up yet, and she couldn't accept the order at all. In this way, what happened today can't be concealed.

"Prince Doctor Wu, can you find a way to wake Madam Changwu Hou?" Su Yao asked the doctor Wu who was silently huddled in a corner, trying to reduce his sense of existence.

Imperial Physician Wu wanted to leave a long time ago. For a small imperial physician like them, the more he knew, the faster he would die. He didn't want to die young!

But he didn't dare not to answer the question from the Duke of England. He just pulled himself together and replied, "That's fine. The problem is that Madam Su may have other symptoms after she wakes up."

"What symptoms? Can you accept the order?" Su Yao immediately asked.

Huo Yuan also looked at Imperial Physician Wu, although he knew that Su Wan was fine, but Su Wan hadn't woken up yet, so he couldn't help worrying.

"There may be symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. If you endure it, you can receive the order."

Hearing what Imperial Physician Wu said, Su Yao was finally relieved, as long as he could accept the order.

Princess Shouning and Princess Baoling also breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily, and Princess Shouning weakly ordered: "Then please trouble the imperial physician Wu to wake up Madam Su...?"

Although she is very unwilling to see Su Wan's order to join her body, but the matter has come to this point, it is useless for her to object any more. The most urgent thing is to let her receive the order as soon as possible, otherwise, today's incident will inevitably reach the ears of the Holy Majesty , then Baoling will be out of luck.

She can tell which is more important.

Physician Wu responded, and then looked at Huo Yuan, Marquis of Changwu, inquiringly.

Naturally, Huo Yuan would also like to see Su Wan wake up, but he was afraid that forcibly waking Su Wan up would harm her body, so he frowned and asked, "Will it affect my wife's body?"

"That's not going to happen." Imperial Physician Wu said confidently, "If Lord Hou is worried, you can wait a little longer, Madam should wake up."

As soon as Imperial Physician Wu finished speaking, he heard some movement from the bed curtain. Lu Fu, who was guarding in front of the bed, immediately lifted the bed curtain and shouted in surprise: "Madam, are you awake?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at the past in unison.Huo Yuan even walked over quickly. Seeing that Su Wan had opened her eyes, a slight smile appeared on her face. He bent down and asked softly, "How are you feeling?"

Su Wan'er's eyes still had a trace of confusion when she just woke up, she couldn't help blinking her eyes when she saw Huo Yuan, as if she didn't know where she was——

"Master Hou?" Su Wan called out tentatively and suspiciously, and there was an inexplicable sense of grievance and dependence in her slightly nasal voice, which sounded tender and heart-melting.

Huo Yuan had never seen such an expression of hers before, and his heart suddenly softened into a mess. He couldn't help but lower his voice, and his expression was even softer than ever before. He naturally held her hand and said: " It's me! Sorry I'm late."

He was talking about the fact that he failed to accompany Su Wan to the British government. Su Wan's injury made him feel very guilty.

"Don't blame Lord Hou, it's because I didn't keep the agreement." Su Wan shook her head slightly, but her face turned pale and she frowned slightly.
