Li Sisi looked out the window at the capital city gradually receding into the distance. Her heart felt as if being gripped tightly by an invisible hand. With her throat tightening, she spoke, "Niannian, are you sure... the Xiao Mansion is going to be alright?"
Li Nian, who was originally holding Jin He's hand, took out one hand to hold hers and comforted her, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Seeing that Li Sisi was still worried, she said, "What are you afraid of? At worst, we can go to the northwest to find Xiao Yunyu and ask him to come back to save them."
When Li Sisi heard her words, she turned her head and stared at her: "What do you want to do? As a general, Xiao Yunyu cannot return to the capital without a plan. Even if he returns to the capital, he will not be able to escape if the emperor wants to punish the Xiao family..."
Having said that, she suddenly understood something.
"You, you don't want to?"
Li Nian curved her lips and spoke soothingly, "We are all ordinary people. Our only wish is to survive. If someone insists on killing us, can we just sit there and wait for them to kill us? Chinese civilization has been around for thousands of years, so isn't the change of dynasties a normal thing? Besides, I don't think there's a wise ruler in the current royal family. The Fourth Prince is entangled with the wife of a minister, not to mention the Fifth Prince and the Crown Prince. I think only the Princess is capable."
Li Sisi: "Your prejudice is quite biased."
Li Nian said frankly: "That's how it is."
As the carriage moved farther and farther away, the outline of the capital became increasingly blurred until it disappeared.
The two best friends set out early in the morning and didn't arrive at the farm arranged by Xiao Yunchen until near dusk.
Zhuangzi is located in Jiangling Town, a town near the capital.
Li Nian looked at the familiar city and sighed softly, "It's actually here?"
This was the city where they met the arrogant groom.
The farm that Xiao Yunchen bought was located in the east of the city, close to the government office.
"Chenchen said that the prefect here is his man, and if he finds anything unusual, he will notify us immediately."
Li Nian nodded: "Then we were really lucky back then. We weren't discovered right under their noses."
"Then not." Li Sisi said with a little pride: "We have survived a great disaster, so of course we will have good fortune in the future if we change to another world."
She looked at Jinhe's big, dark eyes curiously looking at her, stretched out her index finger and scratched the little girl's fair face: "Don't you think so?"
Jin He smiled with her eyes curved, and said sweetly: "Yes!"
Li Sisi was amused by her and laughed out loud: "Haha, little clever ghost, do you know what I'm talking about?"
Jin He smiled again and said, "I know."
Li Sisi was so happy that she opened her arms and said, "Jinhe is awesome! Come here, give auntie a hug."
Jinhe reached out to her, and Li Nian handed Jinhe to Li Sisi's arms.
I lifted the car curtain and looked at the street by the water. The willows by the river swayed in the wind, like smoke and fog.
The last time he passed by this city, Li Nian found that the scenery of this city was exquisite and quiet. There were not many pedestrians on the streets, but it was not lonely and desolate.
When Lin Nian arrived at the manor arranged by Xiao Yunchen, he was even more amazed.
Walking across the carved stone bridge built over the river, you will see a simple and elegant mansion on the other side.
The carriage stopped in front of the vermilion gate, and the two stone sculptures in front of the gate looked majestic.
Stepping onto the fifth floor of stone steps, Qingyan raised her hand and knocked on the door.
The doorman opened the door and saw Qingyan, and immediately started a familiar conversation with her.
The two best friends held Jinhe in their arms, with Yu Niang and Xiao Ying beside them. The housekeeper led the group to the side rooms to rest.
The servants were packing their luggage when suddenly a figure rushed into the yard.
"Why are you here? Did something happen in the capital?"
Wen Luoxin was wearing a plain long dress, her hair was casually tied up, and there was only a gilded jade hairpin on her head.
Her face was filled with anxiety, and she didn't even bother to greet him politely. She said anxiously and loudly: "The emperor has passed away, and the fourth prince has ascended the throne, right?"
When Li Sisi heard her words, she looked at her in surprise and asked, "How did you know that the emperor passed away?"
Logically speaking, the news of the emperor's death should not have spread so quickly!
Li Sisi's mind raced, and she suddenly realized that Wen Luoxin was reborn!
He asked in surprise, "In the previous life, was it the Fourth Prince who ascended the throne?"
Wen Luoxin frowned, her expression startled: "Isn't it?"
Thinking about how many things in this life have turned out completely differently from the previous life due to the intervention of these two women.
Could it be that even the throne has been occupied by someone else?
"The Crown Prince was pardoned? Or the Fifth Prince... Impossible! The Fifth Prince can't possibly be the Emperor! The ministers in the court won't agree!"
Li Nian had just put the sleeping Jinhe back into the nursery room. When he came out, he happened to see Wen Luoxin, who was dressed simply, shaking her head in panic. She looked like she was deeply shocked and looked fragile and pitiful.
"What happened?"
Li Sisi nodded in Wen Luoxin's direction: "She said that the Fourth Prince ascended the throne."
Li Nian waved his hand and asked all the servants in the yard to leave.
Then he looked at Wen Luoxin: "Let's go inside and talk?"
Wen Luoxin saw that she was silent and followed her into the house.
Li Nian thought of the princess's letter saying that Wen Luoxin's child was the Fourth Prince's. Now she concluded that the emperor had passed away and the Fourth Prince would succeed to the throne.
Suddenly I understood why Wen Luoxin was willing to bear the infamy and get pregnant with the Fourth Prince's child.
After entering the room and sitting down, she poured tea while speaking softly, "Your wishful thinking has failed. The emperor has issued a decree that the throne will be passed to the fifth prince."
Upon hearing this, Wen Luoxin, who had just sat down, suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "Impossible! How could the Fifth Prince...the ministers in the court agree to this?!"
Li Nian felt that Wen Luoxin's mood had been very abnormal since she gave birth.
Wen Luoxin used to be very good at disguising her emotions, but now she explodes at the slightest provocation.
