Even so, he was still proud.

"I... have come to this... Let me go back... to the North..." he said incoherently.

Su Bei looked embarrassed, "But you are already like this, if King Zunyi hadn't given you acupuncture treatment, your condition might have been even worse."

"Even if I die... I would rather die... in the North..." Bei Yanming's mouth was drooling. He no longer had his former charm and looked like an old man.

Su Bei looked at Chu Younan, but Chu Younan still shook his head. It was because Bei Yanming was still unwilling to give up and was thinking of returning to the north to instigate Bei Yuanzheng to attack Wu country again.

"How can you let your uncle die young? You are only 42 this year, you must live to be 80 years old." Chu Younan turned around and ordered, "Come here, arrange a bedroom for the Northern Emperor, and arrange for a few people to serve him carefully, so that he can live out his days in peace! Oh, by the way, the two princesses sent by the Northern Territory have not returned yet, let them serve the Northern Emperor!"

At this moment, Bei Yanming's heart died...

In the following days, Su Bei spent the whole day taking care of the children and checking the account books, while Bei Yanming could only look up at the sky and then down at the ground. Chu Younan played mahjong with Su Bei and Ruan Tianyao after taking time off from government affairs, while Bei Yanming could only listen to the two fake princesses scolding him unscrupulously...

The turning point began that day when Bei Yanming's palace was filled with night incense.

Because Bei Yanming couldn't take care of himself, the servants placed the night-scented incense bucket directly in his room for convenience. Needless to say, the smell was so strong that Bei Yanming felt like he had no desire to live. If he hadn't been holding on to a strong force in his mind, he would have really wanted to commit suicide right away.

When Song Gui came in to pick up the night-scented incense bucket, Bei Yanming was half asleep. He muttered quietly, "Why put the bucket in the room? It smells so bad!"

This sentence caused dissatisfaction among the palace servants who served Bei Yanming, and they shouted at him loudly: "Why do you, a night incense pourer, mind your own business? Just pick up the bucket and pour it quickly!"

The scolding woke Bei Yanming up. He turned around and saw Song Gui carrying a bucket.

This person looks familiar.

Bei Yanming didn't remember who he was at once, but his desire to survive alerted him, and he quickly shouted, "Come... someone come..."

The exclamation attracted everyone's attention. Song Gui also looked over, but Bei Yanming suddenly looked ten years older and he didn't recognize him at first.

Just with this glance, Song Gui made a mistake and some of the contents of the bucket spilled onto the ground.

The palace maid was furious when she saw it, and shouted, "How could you be so careless! Clean it up quickly, or you will be in trouble!"

Song Gui nodded and bowed to apologize while carrying the bucket out.

Bei Danzhu came with me today. To be exact, she has been with Song Gui for a while. She has figured out that although the life of a princess is rich and glorious, it is not what she really wants. She just wants to stay with Song Gui and live a simple life.

It would be even better if we could find the lost child.

Hearing the palace servants scolding Song Gui, Bei Danzhu hurried in to help clean up. Although she did not notice Bei Yanming lying on the bed, Bei Yanming recognized her.

After all, she was the daughter he had doted on. He recognized her at first sight.

Now Bei Yanming felt a spark of hope in his heart. He struggled hard to get off the ground, shouting, "Beidi... I want to go back...Beidi..."

Hearing the word "Beidi", Bei Danzhu looked over subconsciously. Just one glance and she felt like she was struck by lightning.

She had heard the news that Beidi was defeated and Bei Yanming was captured a long time ago, but she thought Bei Yanming would be locked up in a dungeon. She never imagined that he would become like this and stay in the most remote palace in the imperial palace.

She had passed by here several times, but she never thought that Bei Yanming was here.

At this moment, she felt mixed emotions. She missed Bei Yanming, but also hated him for stealing her child.

But she had experienced so much and was no longer as reckless as before. She knew that now was not the best time, so she packed up hastily and followed Song Gui out of the palace.

After returning home, Bei Danzhu was still unhappy, so Song Gui smiled and coaxed her, "I told you not to go with me. That job is dirty and smelly, and today I have to trouble you to clean it up."

Song Gui fetched some water and washed her hands carefully several times, and used the newly bought fragrant soap. At the end, he said, "I'll go to the street to buy you something good to eat. Don't go with me tomorrow."

Looking at his back, Bei Danzhu felt uncomfortable.

If she wanted to find the child, she had to get Bei Yanming out and ask him about it. But that was the Wu Kingdom's palace, and if something went wrong, Song Gui would be implicated.

There is no one else in the world who is so good to her, including Bei Yanming, so Bei Danzhu struggled for a long time and made a decision.

While Song Gui was on the street, she also slipped out, but she turned to the drugstore and bought a pound of croton seeds.

Although she felt reluctant, she still put a few croton seeds in the fish stewed by Song Gui.

Song Gui didn't know yet, and happily called her to eat fish. Who knew Bei Danzhu was in a tantrum today and couldn't get up. Song Gui had no choice but to say, "Then I won't eat it either. Save it for you. Eat it when you wake up."

Bei Danzhu's heart was melted by him, but if she wasn't cruel, she wouldn't be able to find her lost child.

So she got angry at Song Gui, which was very unusual for her. "Who wants to eat the fish you cooked? If you want to eat it, eat it yourself! You didn't even wash your hands when you came back and cooked the fish! It smells!"

Song Gui was stunned for a moment, and after a long pause he said, "I washed your hands when I came back, and they were stained with scented soap, so they're not dirty at all. If you don't believe me, smell it!"

Bei Danzhu felt guilty for bullying someone for the first time, but he still hardened his heart and quarreled with him, "If I say I don't want to eat, then I won't eat! If you want to eat, eat it yourself!"

Song Gui was really hit hard by her this time. The honest man sat dejectedly on the stool. He was angry in his heart but didn't say it out loud. He ate the whole fish in a huff.

After finishing, he lay down on the bed, patted Bei Danzhu on the back, and then fell into a deep sleep.

It was already evening when the effect of the medicine took effect. Song Gui began to run to the toilet over and over again. After running more than ten times, he felt a little exhausted.

"I told you it's not clean, right? You take a good rest, I'll pour the night incense for you later!" Bei Danzhu complained pretendingly.

Song Gui felt quite guilty, "You are right, it is not clean, it's a pity you didn't eat it. I can't let you do the job of emptying the night incense, I will find..."

"I said I would go, so I would go!" Bei Danzhu said unhappily.

Song Gui had no way of persuading her, so he had to keep silent.

It was still dark when Bei Danzhu got up and went into the palace.
