He hadn't seen his wife or son in a long time. He wondered if they had grown taller. The rocking horse he made last time he went back must be too small now.

I'll make him an even bigger one next time I go back.

Just then, Wang Zhang suddenly entered from outside the courtyard and bowed respectfully to the two of them: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, there is a young girl named Yunyi outside the gate who requests an audience."

"Oh~" Su Wanyan said "Oh".

Yu Nanqing felt a chill run down his spine, sensing a strange undertone in Su Wanyan's voice, and quickly said, "I won't see her."

Wang Zhang paused for a moment, then took out a letter from his pocket and said, "Your Highness, Miss Yunyi said that if Your Highness does not see her, she should give this letter to Your Highness."

After saying that, he stepped forward and handed over the letter.

Yu Nanqing coughed lightly, put her hands behind her back, and turned her face away.

He was afraid that Su Wanyan might be even slightly dissatisfied.

Su Wanyan shook her head, amused: "What are you doing?"

"Apart from Yan'er's things, I don't touch anything that other women have touched."

That's true.

Su Wanyan agreed with this statement. Yu Nanqing wasn't just like this now; he didn't like being served by maids even when he was paralyzed.

Yu Nanqing instructed Wang Zhang: "Return the letter to her and tell her that what happened back then was not a decision made by me alone."

The decision to save her was made by the military generals together, so he wasn't the only one who saved her.

"yes."

"Wait a minute." Su Wanyan called out, glancing at Yu Nanqing: "It's just a letter, just take a look."

Yu Nanqing wasn't curious, but she was incredibly curious.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhang hurriedly handed the letter over again.

Su Wanyan first took the letter from Wang Zhang, then handed over her own letter: "Master Wang, this letter is for Chi En. Please send someone to deliver it."

Wang Zhang hurriedly accepted it: "It is my duty to serve Your Majesty, how could I trouble you?"

Wang Zhang was very fond of Su Wanyan, not only because Su Wanyan had left a deep impression on him when they first met, but also because after entering the manor, Su Wanyan had always treated him with courtesy.

She always called him "Master Wang," and when she had something to ask, she would always say "please" or "thank you," which made Wang Zhang feel warm inside.

The entire palace was too large, and with the addition of many new servants, although things could be handed over, it was not an easy task.

Whenever he felt tired, as soon as he entered this courtyard, Wang Zhang felt full of energy again.

He's not the only steward in the Prince's mansion now, but he personally comes over every time he needs to deliver a message to Su Wanyan and Yu Nanqing.

Firstly, he didn't trust anyone else to deliver the message, and secondly, he was also fond of the atmosphere.

Su Wanyan was unaware of Wang Zhang's intentions and glanced at the letter.

She smiled and read the contents of the letter aloud: "Since our parting in Wengcheng, I have been thinking of you day and night. I wonder if Your Highness has been well these past years. I am afraid that disturbing you would displease you. I am very worried and restless. I am filled with trepidation. Today I am about to leave the capital, so I am writing this to say goodbye to Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will take care."

"..." Yu Nanqing really wanted to cover Su Wanyan's mouth.

"She's here to say goodbye." Su Wanyan looked at Yu Nanqing: "She's here to say goodbye to you."

"Okay." Yu Nanqing nodded. "I understand."

No need to repeat, he can hear you.

Su Wanyan placed the letter on the table, hesitated for a moment, and then instructed Qiuye: "Go and get some silver for her, as travel expenses."

Yu Nanqing had previously sent people to investigate her, and it turned out that there was indeed a person named Yunyi in Wengcheng, which matched Yu Nanqing's situation when he was stationed in Wengcheng.

Su Wanyan and Wang Zhang had also learned about it. When Wengcheng fell and Yu Nanqing led his men to retake it, many people in the city had died, and many children had lost their parents.

At that time, the leading generals in the army advocated that these children be raised in their residence where they held meetings. Because there were too many people, many of them were older children taking care of younger children, and the people in the city would also come to help.

That mansion was later converted into a general's mansion.

At that time, Yunyi was just a child, so Yu Nanqing naturally had no suspicion of her. When he wasn't busy in the army, Yu Nanqing would play with the children who had been taken in at the mansion, just like everyone else.

Perhaps that's why Yunyi felt hopeful.

Judging from this letter, Yunyi definitely has feelings for Yu Nanqing, and she even traveled all the way to the capital.

Whether she was being used or she was using others, Su Wanyan felt that this was too difficult for a young woman like her.

Qiu Ye paused for a moment, then didn't think much of it. Fu Li: "Yes."

June's summer heat passed in the blink of an eye.

July, the first day of the month.

At the request of Emperor Yuanhe, Yu Nanqing set up his carriage at the city gate early in the morning to welcome the envoy from the East Sea.

Yu Nanqing was more proactive than ever before. For him, the East China Sea was a blood feud.

In that battle, the army numbered 300,000, but only 100,000 returned.

He suffered heavy losses, was trapped in the East China Sea for several months, and upon his return, he was paralyzed. To this day, Lü Cezhong is still being tortured in prison.

Regardless of whether the East Sea and the Great Jin Dynasty are colluding, the grudges between him and the East Sea will not dissipate so easily.

At least not for now.

As the Princess Consort of Prince Gong, Su Wanyan could have gone along, but she didn't like that kind of occasion, so she stayed at the residence.

But to everyone's surprise, Dai Zhiwan came looking for her.

This time it was strange, Dai Zhiwan didn't come with Xu Yixuan.

Moreover, Dai Zhiwan did not present a formal letter of invitation this time, so Su Wanyan was taken aback when Wang Zhang came to report.

But since she had already arrived, Su Wanyan had no choice but to instruct, "Quickly, invite her in."

Wang Zhang asked, puzzled, "Your Majesty, should we invite Miss Dai to the main courtyard, or...?"

The main courtyard is in the front yard of the Prince's Mansion. Wang Zhang wanted to ask Su Wanyan whether she wanted to entertain Dai Zhiwan the same way as the others, or invite her to the main courtyard.

Su Wanyan hesitated for a moment, then instructed, "Please come to the courtyard."

Not long after the Duke of Shunguo submitted the list, the Duke of Changguo's mansion also contributed its influence and hidden agents in the city.

Besides, she really liked Dai Zhiwan's personality and temperament. She also wanted to make Zhiwan her friend. Having someone she could confide in was so important to her, who had come into this world all alone.

Wang Zhangming understood: "Yes, this old servant will go right away."

Su Wanyan looked at the table full of medicinal powders; she had originally planned to refine them today…

Now that Dai Zhiwan has arrived, they have to be reclassified and put back together.

Su Wanyan sighed inwardly, "Fine, let it be troublesome."

Su Wanyan reached out and called Qiu Ye and Huang Ye to help. Together they quickly put all the medicine powder into the small bottle.

When Su Wanyan came out of the bedroom, Dai Zhiwan was already waiting in the flower hall.

Upon seeing Su Wanyan, Dai Zhiwan hurriedly stepped forward and curtsied, looking excited: "Why did it take you so long for Your Highness to come out?"
