Guan Suyi lived very comfortably, even after she finished the errand, she did not hurry back to Marquis Zhenbei Mansion, but delayed as long as she could. Zhao Luli had already calmed down the civil unrest in Tongcheng, but he still had to rectify the local officials. He couldn’t leave for a while, so he could only write a letter every three days to report about his safety.

After being rescued, Li shi suffered from a serious illness. She always had a high fever and was in a drowsy state for more than a month. In the end, Marquis Zhenxi found a senior monk to help her dissolve the disaster, only then she slowly recovered. When Guan Suyi finished reciting the scriptures for the late Empress Dowager, she also recovered completely and often came to the mountain to play.

“I heard that the patriarch of the Li clan drank too much and fell into the pond at the entrance of the village and drowned? A few young men surnamed Li went down to rescue him, but the body has not been found until now?” Guan Suyi poured the hot water into the teacup and asked casually.

Li shi didn’t show any sadness at all, but instead laughed, “This news has spread to the mountain?” Those who condemned her to death, those who humiliated her reputation, and those who pushed her down the pond all went down to the Yellow Spring, none of them escaped. She knew exactly who did this, but she was not afraid at all.

“That maid of mine has a broken mouth and likes to ask around.” Guan Suyi put down the kettle and sighed inaudibly, “It’s good he died.”

Li shi’s eyes and ears were sharp, and when she heard this, she smiled more heartily, “I like sister’s temperament, you looked delicate and weak, but your bones are very hard. It’s a pity to be given to a soft egg like Zhao Luli.”

Guan Suyi smiled without saying a word, and was about to call out Minglan for some refreshments, but saw a tall figure standing at the door, which seemed to have been here for a while. Minglan knelt at his feet, too frightened to breathe.

“Your Majesty?” Before she could respond, Li Su’e shouted and walked over to salute.

“Get up.” Emperor Sheng Yuan vainly helped her up, and then pressed down Guan Suyi’s shoulders, who wanted to get up and bow down, and said lightly, “Heard you have just recovered from a serious illness, why didn’t you raise your body in the mansion, what are you doing out? Be careful of catching cold air again, making Marquis Zhenxi don’t want to go to court. Zhen have something to say to Madam Guan, you go back first.”

Li Su’e and the emperor met when they were poor, their relationship was different from others, so they naturally spoke more casually. She glanced at Guan Suyi worriedly and said, “Your Majesty, this woman don’t dare to intervene in your affairs, only ask you not to make thing difficult for Suyi, she is this woman’s savior.”

“If Zhen want to make thing difficult also won’t make thing difficult for Madam.” Emperor Sheng Yuan waved to Minglan, “Send Madam Li down the mountain, and everyone else will retreat.”

Minglan and Li Su’e didn’t dare to disobey, had no choice but to turn around and leave step by step. Guan Suyi felt a little scared in her heart, and tentatively said, “Your Majesty, have the remains of the late empress dowager buried already?”

“It has been buried back in the clan land.” Emperor Sheng Yuan walked around behind the screen and ordered in a deep voice, “Come here and read for Zhen.”

You come all the way, just to let me read for you? Guan Suyi was very surprised in her heart, but she didn’t reveal it on her face. While pointing at the bookshelf and asking him which one he like, she secretly observed his face. She saw that his eye sockets were sunken, his lips were white, and his brows were full of violent air, as if his inner demon had risen again, and he seemed to be very tired and fierce.
