Chapter 197 Mother's eyes have recovered
The servant said, "It's been delivered."
The backyard of Qianshu Building looks like a private residence.
Maids and servants, rockery and flowing water, as well as pavilions and attics.
A lake separates Qianshu Building and the backyard.
The Qianshu Building was bustling with people, but the backyard was very quiet.
After going down from the arch bridge, you can hear the melodious sound of bird hooves and smell the faint fragrance of flowers.
From a distance, you can hear the sound of stringed instruments from Qianshu Tower across the lake.
Su Yuheng didn't expect that the backyard of Qianshu Building would look like this.
"What do you think, Sister?"
Qi Lingzhou saw Su Yuheng looking around and asked.
Su Yuheng smiled and said, "That's right, if mother came to this place, Minglang would not come."
"As expected of the richest man, a large family and a large business are different."
"But I'm curious, how did you get to the Qi family after mother gave birth?"
Qi Lingzhou sighed and took Su Yuheng to a pavilion.
A maid brought tea and exquisite snacks.
Qi Lingzhou said: "I also asked my adoptive mother about this matter. She said that she found me in Xiling. I should have been one year old at that time."
"When she saw me, I had been thrown into a beggar's den with no one to take care of me. At that time, one of my fingers had been cut off."
"Mrs. Qi had been trying to have a child for years but to no avail. Seeing how adorable I was, she brought me back to the Qi family and sent someone to Xiling to inquire about my identity."
"I was originally raised by a midwife, but she disliked my frailty and sickly nature, so when I was one year old she threw me into a beggars' den."
"Later, the Qi family used their connections to find out that the midwife was the one who delivered my mother."
"They found the midwife and found out the truth."
"They originally intended to send me back to the Shen family, but my mother had already disappeared by then, and there was a lot of infighting within the Qi family. My adoptive mother was disliked by the family for not having any children, so she and my adoptive father decisively adopted me as their own child."
"I will never forget the kindness the Qi family has shown me over the years."
Su Yuheng sighed: "The Qi family is indeed a big family. To be the richest family, the head of the Qi family must be kind-hearted."
Qi Lingzhou said, "Sister, you're right. My adoptive mother and father are indeed good people."
As the brother and sister were talking, a servant came and handed a golden cicada to Qi Lingzhou.
"Young Master, this is the news you requested."
Qi Lingzhou took the golden cicada, took out the note inside and took a look at it, then handed it to Su Yuheng.
"Sister, take a look."
"I said, this Prince Li is the God of War."
Su Yuheng took the note and after reading its contents, he finally felt relieved.
The letter stated that Huo Xingzhi and King Rui led their troops to cut off the head of the leader of the Qi army and drove the Qi army three miles away.
The Qi army refused to accept the defeat and sent other generals, but they were still killed.
Now, Qi surrendered unconditionally, and Qi and Dayan signed a ten-year armistice agreement.
Su Yuheng put down the note, somewhat puzzled.
Could it be because of King Rui? King Rui is a reborn person and must know the weaknesses of the Qi army.
"Since Yan and Qi are at war, what does this have to do with Qin?"
Qi Lingzhou said, "Before the battle, Great Yan intended to ask Qin for support, but the Qin Emperor refused. He hoped that Qi and Great Yan would both suffer losses, and that Qin would reap the benefits."
"But Qin finally changed its mind and hoped that Dayan would send a princess as a marriage partner."
"They sent 5,000 soldiers to the border fortress for support. I heard that these soldiers spent half a month on the journey to the border."
"On the surface, they are providing support, but in reality, they are just stalling for time and are unwilling to go."
"Look, Great Yan has won a great victory and signed a ceasefire agreement with Qi. No support is needed, and military intelligence has been sent back."
"So that's how it is." Su Yuheng said.
"I didn't expect you to know so much."
"Now that the war has stopped, I wonder if the prince will come to Qin."
"Counting the days, the prince has been at the frontier for four months."
"Don't worry, he will come."
The brother and sister were leisurely drinking tea and chatting in Qianshu Building.
Minglang in the Second Prince's Mansion was furious.
The guards he sent out searched the entire Second Prince's Mansion and among the guests, but did not find any trace of Su Yuheng.
Emperor Qin sat in the private room of the Second Prince's Mansion, waiting for Minglang to bring Su Yuheng.
In the end, the person didn’t come, but instead clarity came.
After Minglang entered the private room, he met Emperor Qin's murderous gaze.
He immediately knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, that girl is not in the Second Prince's residence."
"I originally wanted her to finish the banquet, so I found an excuse to bring her here, but who knew..."
"Useless thing, you stood me up!" The Qin Emperor was furious and kicked Minglang with his leg.
"Your Majesty!" The voice of the guard suddenly came from outside.
"There's news from the border."
Emperor Qin's face twisted and he glared at Minglang fiercely.
"Get out of here!"
"Just these few days, go back and figure out a solution yourself."
Minglang said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Minglang stood up and turned to leave the room.
The guard came in and handed the letter to Emperor Qin.
The Qin Emperor took a cold glance and said, "I didn't expect the border war to end so quickly."
"I had hoped that Qi would defeat Dayan completely, but I didn't expect Dayan and Qi to sign a ceasefire agreement so quickly."
Emperor Qin showed displeasure on his face and said coldly: "Go back to the palace."
On the other side, when Su Yuheng returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion from Qianshu Tower, it was already sunset.
As soon as I stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion, I saw Minglang's figure.
Minglang stared at her with a pair of gloomy and terrifying eyes.
"Where have you been? Why aren't you at the Second Prince's residence for no reason?"
Su Yuheng's lips curled up slightly: "Prime Minister, I am in the Second Prince's Mansion."
"Didn't you go to the palace? Why did you go to the Second Prince's Mansion again?"
"Also, I'm married now, not like a girl in the boudoir. Do I need the Prime Minister to personally have someone watch over me wherever I go?"
After Su Yuheng finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
Minglang was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He turned his head to look at her and said coldly: "Don't forget, your mother is still in the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"You are my bright daughter, so stop talking to me in that tone."
Su Yuheng didn't answer him and went straight to his mother's yard.
As soon as I entered Mingshui Pavilion, I saw Zhao propping herself up and getting out of bed.
The faint scent of peach blossoms blew in from outside the door on the breeze.
Zhao raised her head slightly and could vaguely see a blurry figure.
The shadow was very faint, wearing a light purple gauze skirt, tall and with skin as white as jade.
"Mother."
Su Yuheng's gentle voice was heard, and Zhao stretched out her hand towards the shadow.
Since the poison in her body was removed, her eyesight has gradually improved and she can vaguely see some shadows.
"Heng'er, is that Heng'er?"
"It's me." Su Yuheng walked over and held Zhao's hand.
Zhao couldn't see Su Yuheng's facial features clearly, but she could see her outline and shadow.
"My eyes, I seem to see you."
