Su Tianyou displayed a faint expression of contemplation and said, "Isn't Cousin Cui Wei's health always somewhat poor? If that's the case, Aunt might use this as an excuse to send him to the deep mountains to find a particular medicinal herb. If he can find it, then agree to their request. If not..."
Although Cui Wei's health was frail, it was only slightly weaker than the average person and not to the point of requiring medicinal treatment. Empress Su knew that Su Tianyou was just making an excuse.
Since it was an excuse, it didn't matter what medicinal herb it was; one could just casually mention a hard-to-find herb, and wouldn't that be sufficient?
Empress Su was very satisfied with this idea. She wasn't worried about Mingwei refusing because this was about finding medicine for Cui Wei. If he refused, it would just reveal that he wasn't that deeply in love with Cui Wei.
