On the wedding night, I beg Your Majesty to give me a soup

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother sent someone to bring some pastries and told Your Majesty to get enough rest." Ando's voice interrupted Li Duanjin's thoughts.

"Put it there." Li Duanjin pointed at the stone table and said, "We'll eat it later."

Li Duanjin was really tired these days, so he went into the dormitory and took a nap on Lin Youyi's bed.

There seemed to be still the scent of Lin Youyi on the bedding, and Li Duanjin fell asleep quickly.

After an unknown amount of time, he was awakened by the noise outside.

"What's going on?" He stood up and walked out.

Anduo was leading his men to drive away a group of cats. When he saw Li Duanjin, he immediately reported, "Your Majesty, a group of cats came from nowhere, knocked over the food box, and stole the food that the Queen Mother had sent to you."

It was just a small matter. Li Duanjin waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal. Just give it to them."

"The Queen is kind-hearted. She asks people to feed the small animals when she sees them. I guess it's because no one has taken care of the cats during the days she was away, and they are all starving." Li Duanjin thought of Lin Youyi's gentleness when she fed the birds, and a smile crept onto his face.

He then instructed Anduo to ask the people in Kunning Palace to feed the animals nearby.

The palace maids including Zhixia, Ping'er, Yinqiao, Linglong, Liuli, etc. surrounded Yingge and asked, "What's wrong with your majesty? She has been in this position since she came back. She hasn't moved at all."

When Huo Yuyin and Lin Youyi were having a secret conversation, Yingge was outside the door. She didn't know what they talked about, but judging from Lin Youyi's condition, it was very unusual.

After all, Yingge grew up with Lin Youyi, and Lin Youyi would tell her most of her thoughts. Yingge came to Lin Youyi with everyone's concern.

First, she took Lin Youyi's temperature, and then brought her a copper kettle to warm her hands. Then she asked softly, "Are you worried about this treatment, Madam Huo? Isn't she sure?"

Lin Youyi moved her stiff neck, and Yingge adjusted the cushion for her so that she could lean more comfortably.

In the previous life, Yingge was tortured to death to protect her, and Zhixia stayed with her until the end and never betrayed her, so Lin Youyi cherishes them both especially in this life.

In this life, Zhixia did not experience the changes and hardships of the previous life, and still has the innocence and innocence of a little girl.

And Yingge has been considerate since she was young, and she can always detect her mood in time. She never hides anything from Yingge, and soon she simply retells the conversation between her and Huo Yuyin.

"Your Highness and His Majesty have come this far with great difficulty, Your Highness, please don't give up." Yingge said, "When you were infected with the disease, His Majesty swore in front of Fengxian Palace that he would rather shorten his life by 20 years in exchange for your safety. He then fed you medicine regardless of his own safety and became a vegetarian for three years to repay his vow to the heavens."

"My lady, His Majesty loves you with his life." Yingge sighed, "I'm afraid there will never be anyone in this world who can be as affectionate as His Majesty."

Yingge didn't want the young lady to miss such a wonderful marriage. Although there was some discord between the emperor and the empress when they first entered the palace, later His Majesty gave up the three thousand beauties in the harem and only doted on the young lady. What more could a husband ask for?

Seeing Yingge's worried face, Lin Youyi gave her a reassuring look. How could she not know how good Li Duanjin was to her? "I won't leave him. I just feel a little sad when I think about being separated from my master."

As long as she didn't have to separate from His Majesty, Yingge breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, her attention shifted to Huo Yuyin, and she questioned, "Madam Huo is not unaware of the Empress's wedding, why didn't she stop it before, but brought it up now."

Lin Youyi sighed, "This is also something I can't understand. Although the master gave an explanation, I always feel that there is something else going on."

Yingge comforted him, "Everything will work out when the time comes. Since you can't figure it out right now, just stop thinking about it and take care of your body and cure your illness first."

Su Mian looked at the sky outside the window with a dazed look in his eyes. He still couldn't accept this sudden news.

The parents he had called his parents for more than 20 years were not his parents, he was not a member of the Su family, but the Queen Mother's biological son!

Even his age was deliberately changed to be a few years older!
He could never understand why, if he was the empress dowager's son, he was not raised in the palace but in the Su family?
Su Bushan also had a worried look on his face. He looked solemnly at the untouched food outside Su Mian's room. In his ears, he heard the housekeeper's worried voice, "The young master hasn't gone out for two days and hasn't eaten."

It has been more than 20 years. I thought I would take this secret to my grave, but I didn't expect that Su Mian would know it so suddenly. "Have the people I sent out come back?" Su Buzhan asked the housekeeper.

The butler shook his head, very confused, "We sent five groups of people out yesterday, but without exception, not only did no one come back, but no news was sent back either." The butler replied.

Su Bushan's heart sank, knowing that those people might not come back and he didn't have much time left.

Su Bushan waved his hand to signal the butler to leave, and then he walked with heavy steps and knocked on Su Mian's door.

"Please open the door, Your Highness. I have something to say to you."

It wasn't long before the door opened.

Su Mian looked at the man he had called father for more than 20 years with a complicated expression. Thinking carefully, there were actually clues. The servants had mentioned more than once that he was not like Su's father.

Looking closely now, there was indeed no similarity between him and Su Bushan in appearance.

Under his questioning yesterday, Su Bushan only admitted that he was not a child of the Su family, and refused to say anything else. Coming here now, is he trying to tell him the truth of that year?

Su Buzhan lived up to his expectations and spoke, "Back then, when I first met Your Highness, Your Highness was just born, a tiny ball..."

This afternoon, Su Bushan stayed in Su Mian's room for a long time and talked a lot.

When leaving, Su Mian looked at Su Bushan's back, and suddenly felt that he seemed to have aged a lot, and at the same time, he felt a lot more uneasy.

"Father..." Su Mian stood at the door and called.

Su Bushan burst into tears immediately. Just having this "father" made his life worthwhile.

"Mian'er, I have one last request. I hope you can protect your mother." He was worthy of His Majesty and His Highness, but he felt guilty towards his wife.

Su Mian was puzzled, "Are you going on a long journey?" But he still assured, "This is what a member of the Su family should do. I will definitely protect my mother."

The grace of raising me for twenty years is better than that of a family member.

Su Bushan said a few words to Madam Su in a hurry, then left with the servant before dark.

There were five groups of people who looked exactly like him who went out at the same time as him.

But I didn't expect that I would be discovered in less than a cup of tea.

Two burly guards grabbed his shoulders and said, "Master Su, it's really hard for us to find you."

It took them a lot of effort to find Su Bushan among the five groups of people.

"The Empress Dowager asks you to come over." said the guard.

Su Bushan sighed. Although he had expected this, he didn't expect the Queen Mother's men to act so quickly.

Su Bushan winked at the servant, who seized the opportunity to escape, but was stabbed in the heart by the guard and died on the spot.

Su Bushan closed his eyes, knowing that the situation was hopeless. (End of this chapter)
