Chapter 743 Happy Meeting

Su Chen took a carriage and drove slowly into Jinling City, accompanied by a tight escort of guards.

This ancient city, which has gone through ups and downs, has gradually returned to its former prosperity. On both sides of the street, there are many shops, flags of various colors fluttering in the wind, pedestrians coming in an endless stream, and laughter and laughter happening one after another.

Although it has been baptized by the flames of war, the heritage of Jinling City still remains, and its tenacity and prosperity have not faded with the passage of time.

Su Chen looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery outside the window, feeling an indescribable emotion well up in his heart.

This city has witnessed too much growth and changes, and every brick and tile seems to tell the vicissitudes of history. Now, he has become the controller of Jinling City, with new missions and responsibilities, and looks forward to the glorious future of Jinling City in his hands.

Yongning gently lifted the corner of the car curtain, and what came into view was the familiar scenery of Jinling City. In an instant, tears fell down like broken beads, wetting the delicate handkerchief.

Things have changed, and the prosperity and glory of the past have nothing to do with her now.

She was once the princess of the Southern Tang Dynasty and Li Yu's closest sister. She lived in the palace and enjoyed all the glory, wealth and favor in the world.

However, the wheel of fate turned ruthlessly, the country was ruined and the family was destroyed. The relatives of the former royal family Li family have turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared in the long river of history.

She was reduced from a high-ranking princess to a helpless orphan with no relatives or close friends in the world.

At this moment, Yongning could only nestle tightly in Su Chen's arms, feeling his solid and warm chest.

In this troubled world, Su Chen became her only support and the last harbor in her heart.

Su Chen gently reached out his hand and gently wiped away the tears that fell from the corners of Yongning's eyes. His voice was low and full of tenderness: "Don't be sad, Yongning, from now on, you have me."

Yongning looked up at him, her eyes shining with gratitude, and she said softly: "Thank you, Brother Su Chen."

Su Chen smiled slightly, held her hand tightly, and said firmly: "Be happy, believe me, I will definitely find a way to cure your illness." His eyes were full of confidence and determination.

Yongning nodded slightly, her voice trembling: "The Tang Kingdom has died, and there is no Princess Yongning in the world. From now on, my name is Li Zixuan. Brother Su Chen, you can call me Zixuan."

Su Chen stared at her affectionately and said softly: "Okay, Zixuan, from now on, you are no longer Princess Yongning, but my lover, Su Chen."

After hearing these words, a warm smile finally appeared on Yongning's face. She snuggled tightly into Su Chen's arms, as if she had found a new support.

The tears have dried and the sadness has passed. She knows that no matter how bumpy the road ahead is, as long as Su Chen is by her side, she can face everything bravely.

Su Chen took Li Zixuan into Su Mansion, his residence in Jinling City. He had purchased this place and lived there not long before Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty gave it to him as a hostage and handed it over to the Northern Song Dynasty.

Although Li's palace has been sealed off by him, and its past glory has been covered with dust, he has not the slightest thought of taking it for himself.

In his opinion, his identity and status are not yet stable, and showing too much desire and ambition for power will have an adverse impact on him.

Therefore, he chose to keep a low profile and stay in the Su Mansion temporarily to wait for the opportunity.

Su Chen knew very well that a true king is not eager to show off his edge, but one who can move forward steadily in an undercurrent of situations and finally reach the pinnacle of power.

During normal business days, Su Chen would go to Jinling Yamen Mansion to work.

The Su Mansion is not small either. It has five entrances and five exits, with courtyards and antique architectural styles, giving it a unique elegance and tranquility.

The towering courtyard walls, exquisitely carved window lattice, and paths paved with bluestone slabs, every detail highlights the unique charm of Su Mansion. The garden in the mansion is even more unique, with shady trees and fragrant flowers, as if you are in a natural ink painting.

The plaque above the gate of the mansion is even more eye-catching. The three characters "Ding Guohou", with powerful writing and majestic momentum, were canonized by the Lord of Wu. They not only represented Su Chen's status, but also demonstrated his prestige and influence in the new court of Wu.

Su Chen helped the beauty into the courtyard, and suddenly a sense of tranquility filled his heart.

Li Zixuan also likes this environment very much, it feels like home. No matter how the outside world was changing, after entering this Su Mansion, she felt a long-lost peace and warmth.

Su Chen gently stroked Li Zixuan's long hair and said softly: "From now on, this will be your home." His eyes were full of warmth and affection, as if he wanted to blend her whole body into them.

Li Zixuan looked up at him, her eyes shining with happiness.

She snuggled gently against his side and whispered: "Wherever you are, it is my home." Her voice was soft but firm, as if it was a beautiful expectation for their future life.

At this moment, the two people's hearts were tightly connected, as if no force could separate them anymore. Peng Jingjing walked in from the outside wearing white armor, with a cold light shining on the armor. She did not wear a helmet, but put it on her hands, revealing her long black hair. Her temperament was like a blooming white magnolia, and she was very heroic. .

Because he had just returned from an inspection of the military camp, his steps were firm. Although his facial features were exquisite and his eyebrows were beautiful, he showed extraordinary bravery and courage because of the military uniform he wore.

As Su Chen's deputy, she not only guards him when he goes out, but is also his right-hand assistant. Today, because she had a patrol mission, she did not follow Su Chen to Yongning Nunnery.

"Ms. sir, you are back."

Su Chen turned around, his eyes fell on Peng Jingjing, he nodded slightly, with a faint smile on his face. He pointed at Li Zixuan beside him and said softly: "Look, who I brought here."

Peng Jingjing's eyes suddenly widened. She looked at Li Zixuan in disbelief, with surprise in her voice: "This is...Princess Yongning?" She never thought that she would see Princess Yongning here at this time.

Memories of the past came to mind, and Peng Jingjing remembered that when she and Su Chen were in trouble, Princess Yongning had extended a helping hand to help them plead for mercy or tide over the difficulties.

At that time, she was still a princess of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the sister of Emperor Li Yu, but now, she has become a princess in distress, so weak.

Peng Jingjing stepped forward with respect in her voice: "Yongning, you are here!" Her eyes were full of joy and emotion.

Li Zixuan looked at Peng Jingjing with a weak smile on her face.

She whispered: "Sister Jingjing." Although her voice was weak, it was full of sincere emotions.

Su Chen said softly to Peng Jingjing and Li Zixuan, "Let's go inside and talk."

He was worried that she was weak and should not stay outside for a long time to avoid catching the cold.

After the three of them entered the room, Su Chen carefully helped Li Zixuan lie down, covered her with a quilt, and asked the maid next to her to take good care of her.

Then, he turned to Peng Jingjing and said softly: "Jingjing, just stay here and talk to Yongning to make her feel relieved."

After the arrangements were made, Su Chen turned around and left the room, preparing to prepare herbs.

He knew that Yongning's body needed careful conditioning, so he took matters into his own hands, selected suitable herbs, and carefully prepared anti-inflammatory decoctions, qi-tonifying decoctions, and potions for regulating depressed heart pulses.

More than an hour later, Su Chen finally finished brewing several potions. He carefully carried the medicinal soup and walked into the room to give Yongning medicine.

Li Zixuan reluctantly sat up with Su Chen's help. She looked at the medicinal soup in Su Chen's hand, a hint of gratitude flashed in her eyes. She knew that this bowl of medicinal soup was carefully prepared by Su Chen and contained his care for her.

After drinking the medicinal soup, Li Zixuan's body gradually relaxed. She felt a warmth spread in her heart, as if all her fatigue had been dispelled.

"Su Chen, I'm much better."

"Get more rest!" Su Chen warned.

Li Zixuan nodded. On this day, she had spoken more than she had in the past six months. In addition, she was tired from riding in the car. At this time, she felt sleepy. She quickly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at Li Zixuan's peaceful sleeping face, Su Chen gently covered her with a quilt, then turned to Peng Jingjing and said, "Yongning has fallen asleep, let's go out."

The two of them exited the room and gently closed the door.

In the corridor outside the door, Su Chen and Peng Jingjing stood side by side.

"How is Yongning's condition?"

"It doesn't matter, don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will cure her!"

Peng Jingjing sighed: "That's good. The Tang Dynasty was destroyed, and her family members didn't survive. She is already very pitiful and nothing more can happen to her."

Su Chen nodded and said, "Yes, nothing can happen again. From now on, she will be our family."

Hearing this, Peng Jingjing smiled and said jokingly: "I understand! Congratulations to your husband, you have a new little wife!" Her smile revealed her ridicule and blessing to Su Chen.

Su Chen also smiled. They all knew that from now on, he and Jingjing would work together to protect this fragile but strong woman, allowing her to regain the color of life in the care of her family.
