Eunuch Su sighed. The emperor has never liked taking Chinese medicine since he was a child, so he always takes good care of his body and doesn't get sick easily. But recently, maybe because of the sudden drop in temperature, he became careless.

Hearing the coughing sound in the room, Eunuch Su's eyes lit up and he suddenly thought of something. Since the emperor doesn't like to take medicine, he will definitely accept that thing!

"You said you wanted to borrow my autumn pear paste for your father to drink?"

Eunuch Su thought about it and realized that what he just said was not to borrow, but to ask for a bottle...

“But I don’t have much…”

Xiao Yi held his cheek in distress, his eyes rolling around.

Eunuch Su looked at Xiao Yi who was putting on a show. He wondered if there weren't many. How come he heard from Aunt Xia that he brought back many bottles in his bag?

Taking the emperor's childish nature into consideration, Eunuch Su coaxed and deceived him, and finally he gave in.

Xiao Yi held a small jar of autumn pear paste in his arms reluctantly, not wanting to give it up, "Then I'll go out of the palace to find Zhuang Zhuang?"

At this time, Xiao Yi still knew how to negotiate conditions. Eunuch Su was stunned after hearing this, and then said calmly, "I will definitely ask the emperor to intercede for you, the prince."

If you listen carefully to what Eunuch Su said, you will know that he only said he was pleading for mercy, but he did not guarantee that it would succeed. Only Xiao Yi, who looks clever but actually naive, can believe his words.

As expected, Xiao Yi was delighted after hearing the promise. With a mixture of happiness and reluctance, she gave him the Qiuli Paste and reminded him, "Don't forget it."

"Don't worry, Prince."

Eunuch Su got it and coaxed Xiao Yi for a while before leaving.

Before leaving, I felt sorry for Xiao Yi in my heart. I'm sorry, little prince, I guess you won't be able to go out and play freely in the future.

Xiao Yi, who didn't know all this, jumped up happily after Eunuch Su left. It seemed that the day when he would leave the palace was just around the corner!

He could not wait to pack his bag, ready to leave at any time, but he waited for a long time and did not wait to leave the palace. Instead, he waited for his Grand Tutor. Thus began his miserable study career.

–

"Xiao Guo, are you back?"

"Yeah, I'm back..." Xiaoguo nodded a little dazedly. She usually didn't talk much with people in the village. This was the first time someone took the initiative to talk to her. It was really new.

After Xiaoguo drove the donkey cart away, several women at the entrance of the village began to chatter and discuss.

"Why do you think she keeps going to the county?"

"Who knows?"

"Hey, I heard from my daughter Niuniu that her husband Jiang Shanhe is a general."

When she spoke about the general, she lowered her voice deliberately, as if she was afraid of being heard.

"ha?!"

“Is this true?!”

Her words scared the other two people.

"It's true! My daughter Niuniu heard from Xiaohu that the two families are very close."

"Oh my God! Why don't you take the mother and son away?"

"I don't know, but Jiang Shanhe is definitely a general!"

"Oh, I was wondering how her family has been doing so well recently. I once passed by their door and could smell the aroma of meat every time I walked by."

"Are you just passing by? Don't be afraid, you might be smelling it on purpose."

As soon as the words fell, the two women looked at each other and laughed.

"Go ahead, you guys, who can't even get a bite of meat?"

The woman who was being laughed at turned pale and immediately retorted.

"Your home!"

One of the women didn't get along with her and said it deliberately. The man was about to yell when he heard it, but was stopped by the other woman.

"Alright, alright, you two are really embarrassing yourself. You're talking about someone else. What are you two mixing up?"

Neither of the two women who were taught a lesson were convinced, but they still didn't say anything. They snorted at each other to express their dissatisfaction.

"By the way, don't you think the incident with Li Zhaodi was a coincidence?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Think about Li Zhaodi. Two days ago, when I went to the county to look for my brother from my mother's side, I saw Li Zhaodi and her boyfriend in prison. Don't even mention that. It's scary to see them. There's not a single good thing about them!"

The woman who was speaking had a younger brother from her mother's side who was working in the county government office. When he went to visit him that day, he accidentally saw the miserable appearance of the two men in the dungeon and his heart was pounding with fear.

When Li Zhaodi's name came out, both of them were stunned, as if they had forgotten it. It was only after a while that they remembered it, and then there was a sigh.

No one spoke for a moment. Everyone in the village knew about Li Zhaodi's affair. Although she and Chou Tuzi deserved the whole thing.

At that time, I couldn't help but think carefully, how could everything be so coincidental?

It is definitely impossible for Xiao Guo alone to accomplish all this, but there is still Jiang Shanhe. What's more, he is a general and can do whatever he wants to whomever he wants with a wave of his hand.

The three women curled their lips and no one spoke. They were all thinking about the scene of that day. Thinking back on it carefully, it was indeed quite terrifying.

"Ah, ah, ah, look! Here comes another carriage!"

One of them was standing opposite the woman at the entrance of the village and she noticed the carriage at the first sight. Normally, horse-drawn carriages were not so common in their village, but today was the second one.

"Whose house do you think it's for?"

None of the three spoke until the carriage was far away from them. One of the women said, "Who else could it be? It must be the same as the last carriage."

…

On the other side, Xiaoguo was driving a donkey cart, and before he reached his home, he saw a horse carriage parked at the door.

The driver was someone she had met once before. Xiaoguo stopped the donkey's cart and the man also saw her.

"Another letter?"

Xiaoguo saw him taking something out of his arms and subconsciously said that it was because he was the one who delivered the letter and charcoal to Xiaoguo last time.

"Yes." The man smiled and took out the letter and handed it to her. "Then I will leave first."

"Hey, wait a moment." Xiao Guo called him. In fact, she had been curious about something for a long time. "How did you receive the letter? Could there be someone who delivered the letter alone?"

It would be too much to make a trip alone in such freezing weather just for a letter.

"Yes, I am the postman."

Postman? Xiao Guo nodded and looked down at the envelope. Judging from the thickness of the envelope, it must be written by Jiang Shanhe if he guessed correctly.

"What if I want to write a letter and bring it to the capital?"

Xiaoguo had been curious about this for a long time. Normally, it would be inappropriate for her not to reply to Jiang Shanhe's letter. But if she replied, she didn't know where to send the letter, and she was afraid that she would have to go to the capital herself.

After hearing this, the postman smiled and said, "There is our post station in the county town. There are people who are responsible for delivering letters. You can go there. I can't say for others, but if you go, you will definitely not be charged, and the privacy of your letters will be guaranteed, and they will be delivered safely!"

After the postman finished speaking, Xiao Guo shook her head and laughed, thinking that everyone knew that she was Jiang Shanhe's wife? It turned out that she could still enjoy this privilege.

After learning the address, Xiao Guo wrote it down carefully. After the postman finished speaking, he prepared to take his leave and deliver the letter to the next house.

Just as Xiaoguo was about to enter the door, he was stopped by a voice behind him.

"Um?"

Xiaoguo looked at the unfamiliar face and felt a little confused.

"I was sent by Eunuch Su from the capital. Are you Madam Jiang?"

Mrs. Jiang? Xiao Guo nodded, almost forgetting the title, "I am."

"There's a letter for you."

A letter from Eunuch Su? Xiao Guo subconsciously stuffed the previous letter into his pocket, and then reached out to take the letter from Eunuch Su.

Seeing that the visitor had no intention of leaving, Xiao Guo knew that he might need to do something, so he opened the letter in front of him.

I read the letter quickly and understood what was going on.
