Chapter 224 Father and daughter meet

Rouyi Hall

Yun Jin trotted over to report, "Crown Princess, Concubine Zhang is ill."

"Have you asked the imperial physician to check it out?" the Crown Princess asked nervously. Concubine Zhang and His Majesty's Royal Concubine Zhang are both from the Duke of Yingzhou. Royal Concubine Zhang is the elder sister of the current Duke of Yingzhou, and Concubine Zhang in the Eastern Palace is the Duke of Yingzhou's biological daughter. The Crown Princess has always treated her with courtesy. Fortunately, Zhang was also a good person and basically didn't cause any trouble.

"I've seen him. The doctor said it's still an old problem. There's nothing I can do about it."

"Then have someone take good care of her. Go to the warehouse and get any medicinal herbs you need, and don't let them run short." The Crown Princess naturally didn't dare to neglect this person. Fortunately, this Concubine Zhang was gentle and easy to get along with. She didn't look like the daughter of a military general at all. However, Guo, who came from a scholarly family, had a temperament that was the opposite of hers, which was also amazing.

"There is one more thing. Concubine Zhang said that she would like to ask the Queen to let her meet the Duke of Yingguo."

"She and the Duke of England are father and daughter. Now that she is ill, it is natural for her to want to see her family. It is not a big deal. As the court is almost over, let's ask someone to invite the Duke of England to come." The Crown Princess nodded in agreement.

It was time for the court to end. Duke Yingguo Zhang Fu was preparing to return home. As he walked out, he was suddenly stopped by a eunuch.

"The Duke of England, please stay." The Duke of England was originally walking with his colleagues, but he stopped immediately after hearing this, and the other officials immediately bowed and left.

The Duke of England then walked towards the eunuch and asked, "Are you from the concubine's side?"

"In reply to the Duke of England, I am with Concubine Zhang. Your Highness, please come over."

Zhang Fu was puzzled, but he didn't ask, and just said, "Please lead the way."

Zhang Fu followed all the way to the Eastern Palace. Although his daughter had been in the Eastern Palace for many years, they seldom met to avoid suspicion. This was the first time that he was suddenly called to the Eastern Palace, so Zhang Fu didn't know what his daughter meant.

As he was thinking, he had already arrived at Lanyun Pavilion where Concubine Zhang lived.

"Please wait here for a while, Lord Ying. I will go in and make the announcement."

"Excuse me, father-in-law."

After a while, the eunuch invited him in.

Duke Ying walked in with his head lowered and his body bent. The further he walked in, the stronger the smell of medicine became. He was shocked. With such a strong smell of medicine, could it be that his daughter was seriously ill? How come there was no news at all...

"My Lady Concubine, the Duke of England has arrived." Although the two were in the same space, they could not see clearly because of the layers of curtains and screens.

"Ahem... everyone, go down." Concubine Zhang ordered weakly.

After everyone left, Concubine Zhang spoke again: "Speaking of which, my father and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Is he okay? Is everything okay at home?" Concubine Zhang did not cough when she said this, but she spoke very slowly. And after all, she was sick, so speaking like this had already consumed a lot of her energy. Even though Zhang Fu was so far away, he could hear her panting.

"Everything is fine at home, but my queen, what happened? Why are you so sick?" Zhang Fu asked with some concern and heartache.

"Don't worry, father. My daughter is not seriously ill. I was just anxious and my old illness came back. Ever since I gave birth to Xiaoliu, my health has been getting worse. Fortunately, the Crown Princess has taken care of me over the years and brought me all kinds of expensive supplements and medicinal herbs, so there is no big problem. It may be that the weather is getting colder and I caught a cold. Don't worry too much, father."

"That's good. I wonder why the Queen called me here today?" Zhang Fu felt relieved when he heard her say that it was nothing, so he asked the question.
