study.

Cui came over with a cup of soup and knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in." Su Yi didn't lift his head, still buried in the desk to read official documents.

It wasn't until he heard the familiar footsteps that he temporarily stopped what he was doing.

"Ma'am? Why are you here? How is Ning'er?"

"She was having a nightmare. She just coaxed her to drink the medicine and lay down again. I heard the servant said that you didn't have lunch, so I brought you a cup of pigeon soup." Cui Shi said warmly.

There was a hint of sadness between the brows.

After Su Yi drank the soup, he finally asked.

"Master, is there really no news from Little General Shen?"

Hearing Cui's question, Su Yi's hands paused, and then he let out a long sigh.

"We haven't found him so far. Although the cliff is not high, he was seriously injured when he fell down. It has been six or seven days now. I'm afraid it's a bad luck."

Originally, there was some hope in Cui Shi's eyes, but it was all gone at this moment, and there was only hopelessness in the dark red eye sockets.

After a while, he raised his hand to wipe away the moisture from the corner of his eyes, his voice choked up.

"How did this happen? She was fine when she went there. When Ning'er fell asleep, she was still clutching the unfinished wedding gown in her hand. In the nightmare, his name was always called. How can my Ning'er live?" ah"

Knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, Cui Shi knows Su Junning's temperament too well.

If Shen Qianwei was ill, Su Junning would regret it for the rest of her life, maybe she couldn't tolerate others anymore.

"Ma'am." Su Yi raised his hand and gently hugged Cui Shi, his face was also full of sorrow.

What they didn't expect was that the first person to visit was Yan Shi.

Mrs. Cui went to meet him in person and took him to the Cangyu Pavilion.

When she came, Su Junning had just drank the medicine and was lying on the couch with a soft pillow in a daze.

The originally fair skin was even better at this moment, but it was different from before, more like cold white porcelain, lifeless at all.

Yan Shi sighed softly and walked into the room slowly.

Su Junning turned her head when she heard the movement, seeing that it was her, there was a slight change on her face.

"Auntie, why are you here?"

As she said she was about to stay on the bed, Yan quickly walked over to stop her movements, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit down on the side of the bed.

"I heard that you were sick, and I couldn't be relieved, so I came to have a look. Now that I see it, doesn't it make my heart ache."

Holding Su Junning's hand, Yan's tone was gentle, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.

They are all feeling very uncomfortable in their hearts, as soon as they meet each other, their emotions are drawn out.

Su Junning couldn't hold it back, tears rolled down in big ones, Yan Shi hurriedly took out her handkerchief to wipe her tears, but her own cheeks were also wet by tears.

Nan Xu was about to step forward when she was stopped by Mother Luo who was beside Cui Shi.

At this time, it is not suitable to persuade, you have to cry to feel better.

After a while, the two of them barely stopped before wiping their faces again.

Yan's soft voice comforted him, "That kid is tough, and he has lived a life of licking blood with his father these years. As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have good luck. It must not be so easy for him to have an accident. You can't bear it." It hurts my body to have him come back, doesn’t it?”

As he spoke, he looked to the side at Cui Shi, and said again.

"Look at your mother, she is tired and thin when you are sick. Today, I saw your father, your brother and sister-in-law, and they are all worried about you. Even if you miss others in your heart, you have to take care of the people in front of you." ?”

Su Junning raised her eyes, seeing her mother's worried and haggard face, she felt guilty for a while.

Cui Shi approached, sat down next to each other, pulled her into her arms and hugged her, with distressed eyes.

This afternoon, Yan Shi stayed in the mansion for a long time, and she didn't leave until she was about to have dinner when Shen He came to pick her up in person.

Su Junning was not in the mood for dinner, but Fang sent two refreshing side dishes.

Thinking that the sister-in-law was pregnant and still thinking about her, she still endured and ate half a bowl of rice.

"Nan Xu, prepare more water, I want to soak for a while."

After dinner, Su Junning felt tired all over.

"There's enough hot water, but miss, don't soak for too long, you'll catch a cold again." Nan Xu nodded hurriedly, and went out to make arrangements.

After submerging everything from the neck down into the hot water, Su Junning felt that her whole body was less tired.

Taking a deep breath, closing his eyes, he dived into the water, tightly wrapped by the heat, and the chaos in his head seemed to quiet down.

It wasn't until the air in the lungs was almost exhausted that I got out of the water and took a deep breath.

Because of holding his breath, his heartbeat was extraordinarily fast at this time, pounding wildly, as if it was about to pop out of his chest.

Such a lively beating is the body's instinctive desire to survive, and it also urges Su Junning to get rid of the haze in her heart, and calmly face the current situation.

One month, Shen Qianwei said that he would be back within a month, and the day of Prince Chen's wedding was almost the day he had promised.

Coincidence?
But if it wasn't a coincidence, then Emperor Jianning's illness...
Thinking of this, Su Junning immediately called Nan Xu in.

"Father has said that if everything goes well for Shen Qianwei, how long will it take for him to return?"

Nan Xu froze for a moment, then immediately shook her head, "I didn't hear the master mention it."

"Go ask, go now." Su Junning's tone was a little anxious.

"Ah?" Nan Xu looked distressed, "Master and Madam are going to rest now."

"Don't worry about it, just ask. If I don't know the answer, I won't be able to sleep tonight." Su Junning urged.

During the waiting period, Su Junning didn't have the heart to take a bath, and let Jichun and Yingmei wait for her to get up, and then paced around the room for meetings, waiting for Nanxu to come back.

If you care, you will be chaotic, if you are concerned, you will be chaotic.

The doubts that I had thought of before, I couldn't think of them at all after the incident, and I have been depressed for the past few days. It is true that the peaceful life has passed for a long time, and my mind has become dull.

While Su Junning complained about herself in her heart, she anxiously waited for Nan Xu to come back.

After about a stick of incense, Nan Xu came in from the outside, without taking a breath, she immediately shook her head.

"Didn't say if it was true, did he not tell others?" Su Junning immediately asked.

Nan Xu was tired from running, panting for breath and unable to answer, so she nodded again.

After receiving such an answer, Su Junning's eyes suddenly lit up a little, as if grasping at straws, she chuckled happily.

"Miss, the master said that the emperor ordered General Xiao Shen to do this job, and he only asked him to investigate, but he didn't say how long it would take, and the salt tax case is complicated, no one dares to say how long it will take to clear it, so there is no limit .”

Nan Xu, who had recovered, hurriedly added.

Hearing this, Su Junning nodded to herself.

"Yes, that's right."

"Miss?" Nan Xu looked at her state, a little confused and worried.

Su Junning restrained her emotions and coughed lightly.

"It's okay, I just suddenly remembered something, rest, don't go out and talk about today's things."

Although Nan Xu didn't know why, but after following Su Junning for many years, she knew in her heart that the young lady must have suddenly remembered something important, so she nodded immediately.

After Su Junning lay down on the couch, she made a bold guess about the whole matter in her heart.

Emperor Jianning may not be sick, but instead he and Shen Qianwei are playing a game together.

First release the fake news that Shen Qianwei is in distress during the investigation to confuse Prince Chen, and then use the wedding to distract Prince Chen, so that Shen Qianwei can investigate the case secretly.
