Chapter 51

It is always the coldest when the snow melts. The snow on the eaves dripped and fell into the back of the palace man's collar, making him shiver from the cold. However, there was Xu Mohuai standing in front of her. She quickly corrected her demeanor and continued. He said: "Ms. Su is the same today. She had a good appetite when eating, and she didn't cry suddenly after falling asleep last night." It was

much better than the first time when someone wanted to take off her clothes and apply medicine to her, she would cry and run around. Now, only Bihe in the whole palace can hold her down.

Xu Mohuai nodded slightly, indicating that she could go back after finishing speaking.

It has been more than half a month since Su Yan lost her mind. Su Yan is gradually getting better. She has not reached the level of madness. She looks the same as usual. She only looks frightened when facing men, especially Xu Mohuai. As soon as he appears, Su Yan would definitely scream as if he had seen a ghost, and now everyone in Qinghe Hall was afraid of him as if he were an evil ghost.

This winter was not easy. When winter arrived in the north, the barbarians were short of food and clothing, so they invaded the border areas again. In the past, they only robbed nearby caravans, but this time they began to attack border towns, causing harm to many people.

When the King of Qin first sought power and usurped the throne, he intended to unite the vassal towns and foreign tribes. Now, although the power of the King of Qin has been eliminated, there are still covetous foreign tribes and aristocratic families who want to cover the sky with one hand.

Xu Mohuai felt that he still had a lot to do. After becoming the prince, he still felt uneasy, so he gradually dismantled his father's power and began to control the government. However, now that he has obtained the throne, he still feels that he is teetering on the peak. Anyone would want to pull him down and fall to a point of no return.

"Chang Pei, do you think Su Yan can get better?" Xu Mohuai's voice became inexplicably dry and hoarse when he mentioned Su Yan again. His eyelashes trembled, and he looked at him with a pair of calm eyes, slightly uneasy, as if expecting his answer.

Chang Pei remembered that Xu Mohuai had been fostered by Queen Guo when he was a child, and in order to please her he gave her a carefully prepared birthday gift, so he asked him uneasily if Queen Guo would like it.

He not only wanted to retain the love and care of Queen Wang and the eldest princess, but also hoped to get along with Queen Guo like mother and son. Now this uneasy and expectant mood fell on Su Yan again.

But what he wanted, he couldn't keep any of them, and they would all be destroyed in his hands for various reasons.

Chang Pei was not sure, but he still gave a positive answer as before.

"When she gets better, I will give her a position." Xu Mohuai's tone was gentle, but he had no intention of discussing with anyone. "It doesn't matter if she comes from a humble background. I will find another identity for her, and she will be promoted gradually in the future..."

He still felt that Su Yan was from a humble background, but he no longer denied his affection for Su Yan as before.

He did want to kill Su Yan several times, and even after Su Yan angered him several times, he didn't even know if he was stupid to keep such a useless and docile person by his side. However, after that, Su Yan really almost died in his hands.

That morning when he saw blood under Su Yan's body and her breath was so weak that she couldn't open her eyes, boundless panic suddenly spread in his heart, like a black tide sweeping him into the abyss, making him suddenly feel like he was falling. Illusion, even breathing stopped for a moment.
