"No, it's nothing."
Zhao Di secretly pinched Shen Erming, but didn't tell the truth.
Although Shen Erming didn't understand, he still obediently did as he was told: "If there's nothing else, let's go."
No one else would say anything.
Everyone got into a carriage and remained silent.
"Liu Liu, did An An say when he'll take you to the East Palace?" Shen Tiantian hugged Shen Liu Liu and asked happily, "I also want to go to the East Palace."
The Eastern Palace.
That's where he grew up.
Shen Liuliu remained calm and smiled, saying, "Sister Tian, if you want to go, just ask An'an. I don't want to go to that kind of place; it's full of rules and very restrictive."
What's fun to do at the East Palace?
Either others kneel before you, or you kneel before others.
It's pointless.
It's not as fun as going out on the street.
"You silly girl, An'an is so good to you, haven't you realized that An'an likes you? In the future, if he marries you, you will be the Crown Princess, and later the Empress, the most law-abiding person in the world."
Shen Tiantian swayed back and forth, happily imagining the future: "When the time comes, you must reward me generously, I want lots and lots of money."
"I can..."
"Sweetie, don't talk nonsense. An'an and Liu Liu are still young. What are you talking about getting married? Besides, this is the capital. If others hear this, it will cause trouble!"
Shen Erming rebuked him without any politeness.
How can you be so outspoken?
And this is the capital city.
If you talk nonsense, you won't even know how you died.
"I know, I know, Second Brother, don't be so fierce."
Shen Tiantian stuck out her tongue and shook her head happily.
She had never felt so relaxed and at ease.
Even in Lotus Village, there was always worry; such ease as this is a rare sight.
Zhao Di and Shen Liuliu exchanged a glance, their doubts growing stronger.
This situation...
"We've arrived in the capital. You seem much happier, Sister Tian."
Shen Liuliu asked casually.
Shen Tiantian readily admitted, "Yes, now that I'm in Beijing, I'm finally going to realize my dream!"
How could she not be happy?
As long as she sees Mo Lan'an, her dream will come true.
She didn't expect to be with Mo Lan'an in the immortal realm, but this one life in the mortal world was enough.
She doesn't ask for much.
"Sweetie, what's your dream?" Shen Erming asked.
Zhao Di on both sides dared not speak to Shen Tiantian anymore; she was always afraid.
Shen Tiantian smiled and shook her head: "Second brother, wishes won't come true if you say them out loud. I'll tell you after my wish comes true."
Don't rush.
She will make sure everyone in her family knows what she wants.
Moreover, a surprise must always appear suddenly to be truly surprising.
Now is not the time.
She knew that Zhao Di and Shen Liuliu both had their suspicions about her, but she wasn't in a hurry.
This is no big deal.
The carriage arrived at Physician Sun's residence quickly.
The coachman immediately got off, knocked on the door, said a few words to the gatekeeper, and then led the carriage to the side gate.
In every mansion in the capital, different poor relatives would come to visit, so this scene did not arouse any suspicion.
Upon entering the Sun residence, someone led them to a courtyard.
After dinner, Shen Liuliu quietly went to Shen Erming and Zhaodi's room and extinguished the candles.
To avoid outsiders noticing anything from the shadow.
"What exactly happened?"
Shen Erming asked in a low voice.
He's not stupid.
It was obvious that something was being kept from him today. The fact that he hadn't asked about it meant he had realized something.
Zhao Di first quietly explained what had happened.
"...I noticed that Tian Tian was acting strangely towards Liu Liu, and I became very jealous of Liu Liu. I muttered to myself in the room that I should tell you to be wary of Tian Tian. Then suddenly I felt a chill down my back, as if something sharp had pierced me. I thought I was dead."
"Just a short while later, Liu Liu rushed in and saved me. Then you all came. Liu Liu, how exactly did you save me? Is your bead alright now that it's dimmed? And how exactly did I die?"
Zhao Di felt like she might be going crazy.
This chaotic mess left her completely bewildered, feeling as if she were going insane.
It's too messy.
Shen Erming found it even more fantastical; he even wondered if he was listening to some kind of story: "...What's going on?"
That's how it is in storytelling.
"How I saved you is none of your business, Second Sister-in-law. There are some things I can't say, and you shouldn't interfere in this matter; it's not your concern. Just be careful of Chen Tiantian and make sure you're never alone with her."
"Then, each of you take one of these scales. If there is any danger, crush the scale and I will appear in front of you."
Shen Liuliu handed over her two dragon scales.
She secretly pulled it out.
She worried that if something unexpected happened in the future, she wouldn't be able to stay by her second brother and sister-in-law's side, and if something unforeseen happened, she wouldn't be able to get there in time.
The dragon scales are something on her body; she can teleport there instantly.
"Liu Liu, whatever danger you encounter, don't try to take it on yourself." Shen Erming said with concern.
This sounds like something very dangerous.
But it seems he can't help his sister much.
"Don't worry, An'an knows he'll help me."
This was what Shen Liuliu and Mo Lan'an secretly said before coming to the Sun residence.
Seeing that Shen Liuliu had no intention of telling him, Shen Erming was anxious, but he also knew that he probably couldn't help much. But because of this, he felt even more powerless.
"Liu Liu, you're only nine years old, still a child. If anything happens, you must tell your second brother, okay? Even if he can't help you, it's better to share the burden than to be alone."
"good."
Shen Liuliu readily agreed.
The next day, around noon, Physician Sun returned from the palace, looking exhausted. He changed out of his court robes and came to examine Consort Zhao.
"...Strange, the pulse doesn't seem like an illness caused by hunger and cold during our escape from famine. Did all your family members who fled with you have this problem?"
Physician Sun inquired carefully.
Zhao Di replied, "No, after I found out, I took my parents and younger brother to see a doctor, and they all said that I was fine and in good health."
They were all a bit weak before, but that was all because they hadn't been eating enough for a long time.
After having enough to eat and wear, he recovered completely after two years.
This is also why Zhao Di never knew she had a health problem before, because she had never had a stomachache or any other problems.
"That shouldn't be the case. When did your stomach start hurting?"
"...I rarely have stomach aches."
Physician Sun frowned even more deeply.
After studying the situation for a while, Physician Sun said cautiously, "I don't see any major problems with your health. As for getting pregnant, there shouldn't be any issues either. The reason you haven't gotten pregnant yet is because your wedding was relatively recent. This is not a problem."
"No problem? Then what exactly is wrong with her stomach? Doesn't she need to take medicine?" Shen Erming was dumbfounded.
What on earth is going on?
