"Qin Su Qin Su, I know it!"

The little princess said excitedly.

Su Xiaoxiao praised: "The little princess is really amazing."

The little princess said, "You can call me Xin'er from now on."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled slightly: "Okay."

Because Yuwen Xi had made great contributions in capturing the assassin, the Western Jin Emperor lifted the confinement order on him. However, the people who came to visit him almost broke down the threshold of the Princess's Mansion.

The little princess was not overjoyed to have her lost one back. Instead, she said calmly and wisely, "When I was imprisoned, no one came to see me. Now that my mother has made a comeback, they are rushing to come to me. I don't care!"

The accident made the little girl grow a lot.

But if she grows up a little bit, it will not be difficult for her to find that some superficial things still need to be maintained, but she just doesn't have to give her true heart anymore.

It doesn’t matter, she is still young and she will learn it slowly in the future.

Su Xiaoxiao taught Yuwen Yi the Five Animal Play and asked, "Have you learned it, Prince?"

The young prince asked, "If you haven't learned it yet, will you stay?"

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.

She looked into his innocent eyes like a deer and was unable to respond for a moment.

The young prince suddenly laughed: "Just kidding, I learned it."

Young man, you have some potential to be a bit sinister.

"Remember to take the medicine I gave you last time every day, one pack a day, with warm water, morning or evening."

"I've made a note of that."

Su Xiaoxiao gave some more precautions, explained them verbally, and also left a booklet.

Before leaving, the young prince called her over and said solemnly in a grown-up tone that he hadn't used in the past few days, "Qin Su, when I recover, I will go to Da Zhou to find you."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

After leaving the Princess's Mansion, Su Xiaoxiao was about to get on the carriage when she saw a familiar figure at the door.

He and the father-in-law smiled and bowed to her: "Madam Wei."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded in return: "He Gonggong, what brings you here?"

He Gonggong smiled amiably and said, "Madam Wei, you are too polite. I am here on the orders of Your Majesty to pay for Mr. Zhuge's consultation."

The name he addressed has changed from "our family" to "old slave".

Su Xiaoxiao seemed not to notice the change in his attitude, and asked with a hint of doubt: "Hasn't it been paid?"

"That's the deposit." The eunuch winked at the young eunuch beside him, and the young eunuch came forward with two brocade boxes.

When my father-in-law and I opened the box, a golden light came towards us, almost blinding our eyes.

There are two boxes of gold, but today's two boxes are obviously bigger.

Did the Western Jin Emperor really not guess that Zhuge Qing was Wei Qing, or did he guess it but still keep his promise and pay her a high medical fee? The emperor's heart is like a needle in the sea. Su Xiaoxiao did not try to figure out the Western Jin Emperor's thoughts. She accepted it generously: "Thank your Majesty for me."

He Gonggong smiled and said, "Your Majesty asked this old servant to convey a message for you."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Please talk to my father-in-law."

He said to the father-in-law in a serious tone: "Please cure him."

…

The news that Zhuge Qing was leaving Xidu to look for medicine quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys.

"I am traveling with Doctor Qin."

"Who is Doctor Qin?"

"You haven't even heard of Doctor Qin? How ignorant! She is the great doctor of the Great Zhou, and General Wei's newlywed wife. It was she who cured the young prince of smallpox and took care of his health. I heard that the young prince can now walk."

“So amazing?”

"How about Mr. Zhuge ask her to treat him?"

The events at the banquet were gagged by the Emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty and did not spread among the people. Zhuge Qing was still Zhuge Qing, the most respected gentleman in the eyes of the people of the Western Capital, and they all hoped that he would get better.

On the day of departure, a strong wind blew in the Western Jin Dynasty, causing the curtains of the carriage to rustle.

The group met at Xidu Posthouse.

Yuwen Huai, Yuwen Xi, Yuwen Lin and others all came to see him off.

The little princess hugged Wuhu and cried again. She held Su Xiaoxiao's arm with tears in her eyes and cried, "Can't you stay a few more days before leaving... Xidu is so big... I didn't even have time to take you around... You were either treating my brother's illness... or treating others' illness... and you didn't even have time to have fun at the palace banquet..."

She really couldn't bear to leave. She couldn't bear to leave the Five Tigers, the three little tigers and Qin Su. She wanted everyone to stay.

"Let Wei Ting go back by himself... woooo..."

Wei Ting originally wanted to invite the little girl to go to Da Zhou together, but after hearing this, he decisively stopped talking.

Su Xiaoxiao pinched her face and said, "I just praised you for growing up after going through all the ups and downs, but now you're a crybaby again?"

The little princess burst into tears: "I don't want you to leave... If you leave... who will I play with..."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "You will make new friends. Besides, my brother is getting better now, so I can play with you more often in the future."

Thinking of her brother's health, the little princess finally felt a little comforted.

She sniffed, took Su Xiaoxiao's hand and said seriously: "Qin Su, it's great to meet you. I've thought about it, why don't I marry to Da Zhou when I grow up, so that I can be with you every day."

Yu Wenxi listened to this and wanted to beat this girl to death. How old are you and you're already thinking about getting married for me? Do you want to piss me off to death?

Su Xiaoxiao was amused by her: "Okay, I'll find you a good husband."

The two talked for a while, and Su Xiaoxiao looked around and asked, "Why are there so many people here? Was there such a big scene when Beiyan left last time?"

The little princess said with a little cry in her voice, "No, there were only a few people when Beiyan left. Among the princes, only my eldest uncle and third uncle went. They should have come to see Mr. Zhuge off."

She was half right. These court officials did come to see Zhuge Qing off, but the same could not be said for the female members of the family.

Ah Fu put the stool in place, and the three little ones prepared to get on the carriage.

"oops!"

The little tiger was fished out.

"oops!"

In the end, even the most agile tiger was ruthlessly captured.

The three little ones were surrounded by a group of weird sisters and aunts. When they finally squeezed out, their little heads were already a little dizzy. Each of them had a face full of flaming red lip marks and was extremely shy.

Mei Ji was so angry that she stamped her feet and said, "Who kissed my three little husbands like this?!"

The time has come, and it is time for the Great Zhou delegation to set off.

Yuwen Huai personally escorted Zhuge Qing to the carriage and gazed at him deeply: "I am waiting for you to return, sir."

Zhuge Qing said softly, "Take care, Your Highness."

"General Wei! Madam Wei!"

In the crowd, Mr. Shen jumped up and waved towards this side. There were imperial troops guarding the place and he couldn't get through.

Wei Ting asked Fusu to bring Mr. Shen over.

Master Shen said to Su Xiaoxiao in the carriage, "Madam Wei, there is no news about the medicinal herbs you asked me to find out last time, but my father has mobilized the entire Five Elements Alliance. I will notify you as soon as there is any news!"

Yu Wenxi came over and said, "Come to the Princess's Mansion if you have any news. My falcon is faster."

Yuwen Huai said calmly: "My carrier pigeon is not slow either."

Yuwen Xi snorted coldly.

Yuwen Huai seemed to have thought of something and changed the subject: "Those who died in the hands of the assassins this time were all the ministers that Father wanted to eliminate but could not easily do so. Who do you think did it?"

Yu Wenxi said calmly: "What does it have to do with me?"

Yuwen Huai frowned: "Can't you just talk properly?"

Seeing that the brother and sister were about to quarrel again, Zhuge Qing spoke softly: "Your Highnesses, we are leaving now. Please take care of yourself."

In October, the group set out on their journey back to Da Zhou. The weather gradually became colder, and the road became more difficult to travel on. In November, they encountered several snowstorms, so it took them some time longer than when they came here.

…

It hasn't snowed in the capital this year. The sky has been gloomy for several days, but the snow just won't fall.

At this time of year in previous years, the Wei family would start preparing for the New Year. When Chu Feifeng was at home, she took care of everything. Now that she is gone, the burden falls on the Li family, mainly Li.

"Madam Second Young Master, the sheep on the farm have arrived. Please go over and check them."

"Okay, I'll come right over." Li said, "Have you made the winter clothes?"

"Done." said the maid.

Li tightened her cloak and said, "Although it didn't snow this year, it's still colder than last year. Make one more set of clothes for each person, and remember to use new cotton."

"Yes, Madam Second Young Master." The maid responded.

After the maid left, Li took the account books of the mansion and the major shops under her name and checked them one by one on an abacus. She didn't know how to do accounting before, but her husband taught her after she got married.

She was busy all afternoon and her fingers were frozen.

But she did not rest, but went to Mrs. Wei to see Wei Xiyue.

Wei Xiyue is sick.

He had secretly gotten up the night before to water her little pit, then squatted in the cold wind for half an hour, and caught a cold the next day.

Even so, she still had to go to the yard to guard.

Li didn't know who this child took after to become so stubborn.

When she entered the yard, Mrs. Wei was feeding Wei Xiyue medicine, but Wei Xiyue refused to drink it.

"Mom, give it to me."

Li brought the medicine bowl over, looked at the little girl with red cheeks on the bed, and said with distress and seriousness: "If you don't drink the medicine, I won't let you go out to water the plants."

"ah--"

Wei Xiyue yelled.

Li pinched her fingers to hold back and said calmly: "This trick doesn't work on me."

Wei Xiyue stopped screaming.

Li said, "Drink the medicine."

Wei Xiyue shook her head and refused.

Li threatened: "If you don't drink the medicine, you are not allowed to water Daddy."

Her heart ached as she spoke these words.

When her eldest brother came back alive, she thought more than once, how great it would be if Wei Qing could also come back alive, how great it would be if Xiyue could see her father again? Her Xiyue could also be a child who was spoiled by her father.

But she didn't dare to hope for it, not at all.

Wei Xiyue drank the bowl of bitter medicine obediently.

She was thinking about watering the plants, so why would Li let her go out to enjoy the cool breeze when she was running a fever? She stuffed her into the quilt and forced her to fall asleep.

In the middle of the night, Wei Xiyue woke up.

She hasn't watered Daddy for two days. If she doesn't water him, Daddy will not grow.

She got out of bed barefoot, without disturbing Ping'er who was sleeping in the small bed, picked up the kettle on the table, and walked out quietly.

The wind was so cold that her little body was shivering.

She squatted down in front of the small pit, watered the plants carefully, and then waited anxiously.

She didn't understand why her father didn't move when the saplings nearby had grown so tall?

Does daddy not like her anymore? It must be because of the bad water.

She took the kettle and fetched water from the water tank. While watering the plants, she filled the soil with her hands. She got herself dirty. She wiped the messy hair off her face, dirtying her clean and pretty face.

When she was halfway through watering, the gate suddenly opened.

A dusty wheelchair appeared at the door in the biting cold wind.

We finally meet, please give me a monthly ticket for our reunion. I love you, good night.
