Su Bin Shen Shaoling

The queen mother turned around and I looked at the doubt in her eyes, and said slowly, "It's for a child."

I called Duanzhu to my side, then looked at the Queen Mother and said, "For the sake of Chengjun Prince's Mansion, please give this child an imperial seal, at least let her live in peace."

"You know, Ah Bing, once she accepts, her marriage will not be up to her in the future."

"Su Fan knows."

"Then you still insist on this?"

"Yes."

I looked at the pomegranate looking up at me, I don't know if she will hate what I did today, but this is the best thing I can give her.

"Then it will be the same as you. Let her be named princess, and give her the word "Jing'an"."

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness."

I knelt down again, pulled Liuzhu and knelt on the ground and said in a low voice: "Liuzhu, I still haven't thanked the Queen Mother."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, Duzhu."

"Since it's over, then Ah Ping will go back to Beijing with Ai's family? Your emperor's elder brother also misses you from time to time."

"Su Fang is used to life in the countryside, so she won't go back with the queen mother, lest she do something wrong and embarrass you and the emperor."

I took a step back, and the empress dowager's unidentified gaze was on my head.

"In that case, then Ah Ping can remember everything that I said to Ai's family today. The life here is indeed much better than that in the capital. Since A Ping likes it, let's live it forever."

"... Su Ting thanked the Queen Mother."

The footsteps gradually moved away, and I looked up at the sedan chair hidden in the darkness, covered in cold sweat.

"Sister, what did the Empress Dowager mean just now? Did Liuzhu think it was weird?"

When Liuzhu's childish voice sounded, I came back to my senses and stood up.

"She is telling her sister that since she likes life here, she will never go to Beijing for the rest of her life."

"Then what if you go to Beijing?"

"Then there is only one dead word."

I took Liuzhu and walked slowly back to the inn along the way I came.

I don't know what's next.

I just heard from the guests that Shen Shaoling was picked up from the prison by the emperor himself, and there was no way to advance to an official position, so he could only be rewarded with money.

Half a year passed by.

My health is getting worse and worse, and Liuzhu is growing up gradually, no one who sees her current appearance will feel that she is that scrawny beggar.

"Sister, I've said it many times, you're not in good health, and it's winter again, you shouldn't be blowing cold wind here!"

Liuzhu's complaining voice sounded behind her, and a heavy feeling spread from her shoulders.

I looked down, and saw Liuzhu was actually wearing fox fur on me.

"Dured Pearl, it's just the beginning of winter."

I said helplessly.

"It's just the beginning of winter, but for my sister, this late autumn is already winter. If you don't like Liuzhu talking about it, then take care of yourself."

Durian picked me up and pushed me into the house.

"Also, Brother You Zhi sent a letter, I didn't read it, I was waiting for my sister to open the letter."

As soon as he entered the room, Qing Xun came out to greet him, and immediately stuffed a warm hand stove into his hand.

"You will only listen to Duzhu's words."

Qing Xun glared at me, then turned and went back to the counter.

I looked at the letter in my hand and felt helpless.

In half a year, my inn, which was originally intended to pass the boring time, was managed by Qing Xun and got better and better.

Judging from Qing Xun's intentions, he also plans to open a store elsewhere.

I have never intervened in the management of the inn. After all, after my death, I will leave this inn to him, so naturally I let him come.

I put the fox fur aside and opened the letter in my hand.

I don't know how many letters these are from Chong Xi, and there are so many that I can't fit them in the book, so I can only find a box to store them.

"Ah Bingqi, everything in the capital is safe and sound. He resigned and left the capital half a day ago. I hope he will arrive after the letter reaches you. I wish you good health and love. You Zhibi."

I stared blankly at the handwriting on the paper, this was the first time Chongxi mentioned Shen Shaoling's news in a letter after being away for so long.

Resign?

Has he resigned?

My heart was flustered, and there was a sudden itchiness in my throat.

"Cough cough..."

I covered my mouth, and it took me a long time to stop my cough, but the wetness of my palm and the smell of rust filling my nose made me decisively hide my hands in my sleeves.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I just accidentally choked while drinking tea."

I looked at Liuzhu who was walking over and smiled.

"Choke?"

Liu Zhu's eyes were full of disbelief, I took a step back subconsciously, and then saw the teacup on the table that hadn't been taken out at all.

"My sister was blown by a cold wind, she must have suffered from the cold!"

As Liuzhu said, she reached out her hand to feel my pulse.

In the past six months, I sent her to a private school to study, but I didn't expect her to become interested in medical skills.

Fortunately, she is considered talented, but within half a year, she can cure ordinary minor illnesses.

But I'm not typhoid...

I avoided her hand, met her suspicious eyes, bent the corner of my mouth and said: "Sister is fine, but I'm a little tired, I want to go up and rest."

I walked around her and went upstairs.

When the door was closed, I felt powerless all over.

I slid on the ground, leaning against the door, and slowly stretched out the hand that had been hidden in the sleeve to my eyes. The dazzling redness of the palm reminded me that my illness had worsened.

I don't know how long I sat there, I staggered up and lay down on the bed, and then I couldn't remember anything...
