Outside the city, in the suburbs of Beijing.

"Su Bi, what are you pretending for? I'm here to visit a patient, not to move my family!"

Ning Xihua was devastated when she saw the dozens of carriages sent by Su Bi.

Although she said to travel light, Song Yi was afraid that she would not be able to adapt to the journey, so she still brought a lot of things. Now, with the things Su Bi brought, the things her team brought were even more than the goods of some escort agencies!

Together with the palace soldiers and the guards sent by Su Bi, the procession was as grand as that of a first-rank official returning home with his family.

Su Bi, however, did not take it seriously and patiently explained, "It's always a good idea to bring more. Especially various medicinal herbs. Although I don't know the specific situation of Mrs. Ning, there must be one kind that she can use."

Ning Xihua sighed, knowing that he meant well, and no longer refused.

"By the way, keep this."

Ning Xihua was a little curious when she saw the golden bag that Su Bi stuffed over to her.

"What is this?"

Su Bi said calmly, "This is my personal seal. If you encounter any problems, you can take this seal to find Zhao Kangyu, the governor of Yizhou, and he will certainly obey you."

Ning Xihua: …

If she remembered correctly, the governor of Yizhou was a third-rank local official and the highest administrative officer in Yizhou. How could he be Su Bi's man?

Sure enough, the boss is the boss.

Su Bi was amused by her baffled expression, "Have you forgotten where I first met you?"

Ning Xihua suddenly realized.

They first met on the boat from Yizhou back to the capital. Later, she wondered why the prince went to Yizhou secretly. Now it seems that it has something to do with the governor of Yizhou.

"Later I almost forgot to ask you, who was the person you destroyed on the boat that day?"

"When I returned to Beijing from Yizhou, someone was following me. In order to keep my whereabouts secret, I had no choice but to do this."

Ning Xihua nodded. She was already immune to the boss's cruel and ruthless statements that made her look innocent...

It was getting late and it was finally time to say goodbye.

When Ning Xihua was about to get on the carriage, Su Bi stopped her.

He looked at her eyes carefully, resisted the urge to hug her, and finally just pinned a peony on her lapel.

"Take care."

There is no sentimental farewell, no touching confession of the heart, and with great reluctance, all I can do is say take care.

Ning Xihua originally didn't feel sad about leaving, but was suddenly filled with melancholy after hearing what Su Bi said.

She nodded vigorously and replied with a smile, "Prepare the betrothal gifts and wait for me to come back."

When I come back, I will marry you.

Su Bi looked at her deeply and responded softly. The melancholy in his eyes caused by separation turned into a pool of gentle spring water.

The convoy slowly drove away, leaving only Su Bi standing there.

In the carriage, Song Yi noticed Ning Xihua's collar and asked her curiously, "Princess, where did you get the peonies in this season?"

Ning Xihua took down the peony and found that it was not a real peony flower, but a tongcao flower made of tongcao.

The petals of this peony are layered, realistic in shape, and lifelike.

Song Yi understood clearly, "It was given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, right? Peony is also known as Jiangli. His Royal Highness must be reluctant to part with the princess!"

Ning Xihua looked at the peony in her hand, her eyes filled with smiles.

The man and the woman were joking with each other, and the man gave the woman peonies as gifts.

…

Maybe it was because of the huge noise, but Ning Xihua thought something unexpected would happen on the way, but unexpectedly it was a smooth journey.

Because Ning Xihua requested full speed, they successfully reached Yizhou in just 20 days.

As soon as he arrived in Yizhou, Ning Xihua rushed to Ning Mansion.

When she arrived at the mansion, she went straight to Songheyuan where the old lady lived without waiting to meet other people.

"Grandma, I'm back."

When Old Madam Ning heard the voice, she opened her eyes and saw Ning Xihua, who was exhausted. Her eyes were filled with relief.

"Okay, okay, Xihua is back. Grandma will feel at ease even if she passes away now."

Ning Xihua sat beside the bed, reached out and held the old lady's bony hand, her voice choked with sobs.

"What are you talking about, Grandma? You have to live a long life and be healthy to watch me get married."

Old Mrs. Ning was still in good spirits, but her face was pale, her eye sockets were sunken, and she looked like someone who had been bedridden for a long time and was exhausted.

"By the way, is my Xihua engaged? Whose family is the other party?"

Seeing that the old lady was still worried about her marriage even though she was so sick, Ning Xihua rested her forehead on her hand and held back the tears that were about to fall.

"Yes, she is engaged to the prince. My granddaughter is going to be the crown princess. Are you happy, grandma?"

Mrs. Ning, however, looked worried.

"I'm happy, but the other party is a royal noble. What if Xihua is bullied in the future?"

Other families were proud that their daughters had received this gift, but her grandmother was only worried that she would be bullied.

Ning Xihua couldn't hold back any longer, and tears dripped onto the bed.

When Mrs. Ning saw her crying, she reached out and stroked her eyes with a calm tone.

"Xihua, don't cry. It is said that life and death are determined by fate. If your grandma is not sad, then you shouldn't be sad either. Cough cough cough..."

Before she could finish her words, she covered her chest and started coughing violently.

Ning Xihua supported the old lady and was so frightened that she quickly called the imperial physician.

Doctor Xu, who came with her from the capital, examined her carefully for a long time before reaching a conclusion.

"Reporting to the princess, Mrs. Ning is indeed suffering from lung disease. But fortunately, it is not tuberculosis."

Ning Xihua breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

She received a letter saying that the old lady had lung disease, and she was worried that it was tuberculosis. You know, tuberculosis was an incurable disease in that era.

Doctor Xu continued, "Mrs. Ning must have had a cold that entered her body. She recovered slowly due to her age, and the improper treatment led to the accumulation of inflammation, which led to the development of lung disease."

“Maybe treatment?”

Doctor Xu replied respectfully, "Yes, it's just that the medicine needed is expensive. Fortunately, when you came to Yizhou, His Highness prepared a lot of medicinal materials for the princess, and these are just what you need. However, Madam Ning is old, and this illness needs to be slowly nursed back to health. There is no rush."

Ning Xihua finally felt relieved, as long as it could be cured.

Thinking of the dozens of carriages full of supplies that Su Bi had prepared for her, she couldn't help but feel grateful.

Ning Xihua turned around and leaned over the old lady's bed. "Grandma, did you hear me? Your illness can be cured, but you must not say such sad words again! You must cooperate with the imperial physician to treat your illness well!"

The old lady also smiled, "Okay, I won't say anything more. Listen to our Xihua. Grandmother must treat your illness well. After all, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bullies you in the future, Grandmother will still have to support you."

Ning Xihua smiled and nodded, feeling extremely fortunate that the old lady could still live out her old age in good health.

Doctor Xu standing next to them was expressing his admiration for the deep affection between Princess Yuexi and Old Madam Ning, while secretly complaining.

With his prince's obedient appearance, could he bully Princess Yuexi?

I'm afraid that if Princess Yuexi bullies his Highness, his Highness will smile and say that bullying is a good thing...
