"What does that envoy do for a living?"
The Queen Mother has a quick temper and swears when she gets angry, which is difficult to change.
It’s over, the Queen Mother is still angry...
Shi Qingmiao shrugged and lowered his head, but he saw that the Queen Mother's mood recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She was dumbfounded. The Queen Mother seemed to be in a good mood at this moment: "It's better not to be that old king. At least Minzhi can live a few more years."
It was a tradition of the Simu Kingdom that the wife was to be buried alive with her husband after his death.
It is indeed the result of barbarism, taking human lives so casually.
Helan Minzhi is her biological granddaughter after all. Although she is not favored because of her birth, at least she is her descendant and cannot suffer any injustice.
If it weren't for this damn war, she wouldn't have been willing to marry him to a desolate place like Simu Kingdom.
"There's one more thing," Helan Ruizhe reminded.
Shi Qingmiao looked up at her brother. What was he going to say?
Even though the Queen Mother is so emotionally unstable, he still continues to release information in large quantities. He is truly a son of his own.
"Si Shuo will come to Funing City."
"You mean the Regent?" The Queen Mother could understand the young man's eagerness to meet his future wife. "When?"
"Three days later." The Queen Mother almost couldn't chew the red bean and barley porridge enough to swallow it.
"What did you say?!"
Oh no, oh no, oh no. Shi Qingmiao hurriedly patted the Queen Mother's back to help her calm down. Doctor Mo said that the Queen Mother should not be allowed to have big mood swings.
"Leave it to me." Helan Ruizhe assured the Queen Mother, "You can have a good rest these days, and leave Si Shuo's affairs to me. I will make sure he returns to Simu Kingdom satisfied."
"Okay." The Queen Mother has always believed in her grandson's ability to get things done.
***
Jin Suting waited in Helan Ruizhe's study in the East Palace for a whole morning, but she couldn't go out to wait. The flowers she waited for had all withered, but he still hadn't returned.
Finally, when she counted thirty-eight birds on the branches passing by the window, Helan Ruizhe finally came back.
After the study door was opened, Jin Suting rushed over like a bird returning to its nest, "You're finally back!"
She felt so lonely waiting.
"How is the Queen Mother's illness?"
She still cares about this the most. After all, she is the future mother-in-law and the Queen, who holds the lifeline of the entire Fuding Kingdom. She is caring about the Queen Mother on behalf of the people!
"It's not very serious." Helan Ruizhe didn't want her to worry too much, but the Queen Mother's illness was indeed not as serious as he thought. It would be an exaggeration to say that it was hysteria.
"She looks overly tired and a little weak, but nothing serious." The Queen Mother did not look well.
"I'm glad you're okay." Jin Suting breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of the letter that Yuan Jing gave her this morning that Helan Ruizhe had received.
She pulled the Crown Prince to the table where she had placed the letter, "Come with me."
"Look at this letter. Yuan Jing had a little beggar give it to him at the door this morning. He said it was a letter from the General's Mansion and was meant for you. He gave it to me before you came back."
"Do you think it might be sent by my father?"
She was dancing around, looking a little excited.
She was thinking, if it was sent by her father, would it mean that she wouldn't have to wait for two months and could return home?
"You're right." Helan Ruizhe spread out the letter. Before Jin Suting had even finished reading the opening sentence "From His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself", he had already glanced at the entire letter and understood its content.
"The letter says that the trouble has been resolved and you can go back to the general's mansion." God knows how happy Jin Suting was when she heard this. Finally, she didn't have to hide anymore!
"But," Helan Ruizhe hesitated to speak, as if he was thinking about something.
"But what?" Jin Suting asked.
Helan Ruizhe looked over the letter again, flipping it up and down before saying, "But the old general could have come to pick you up in person, but instead wrote a letter asking you to return to the general's mansion? Don't you find it suspicious?"
Jin Suting held her chin up in her hand and thought for a while, "Maybe it's inconvenient for him to leave the house? Besides you and me, only my father knows about my stay in the East Palace. If he comes to pick me up rashly, it will definitely arouse suspicion that I have been living in the East Palace all the time."
Helan Ruizhe also thought of this, but still felt it was suspicious. Could the trouble of not being able to return home for two months be solved in just half a month?
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Jin Suting was curious about what Helan Ruizhe was worried about. She pointed at the densely packed words on the letter paper and said, "But this is Daddy's handwriting."
"Handwriting and habits can be imitated." Helan Ruizhe explained, wondering how her little girl could be so innocent. "You stay in the East Palace for now. I'll go to the General's Mansion later."
"Are you hungry? Let's eat first." Helan Ruizhe took her hand and asked gently.
Jin Suting quietly broke free and asked in a low voice: "Helan Ruizhe, don't you want to marry me anymore?"
"What?" Helan Ruizhe was surprised why the little girl had such thoughts. Then he remembered that he had been really busy recently and had not given her enough sense of security, so he laughed and said, "Silly girl, if I'm not going to marry you, why should I keep you by my side?"
"Of course it's because you only want to date me!" Those scumbags only want to date and not get married, and they take advantage of everything without taking any responsibility! Helan Ruizhe has been hiding her in the East Palace and not letting her go. In the past, her father said that she couldn't be exposed, but now that she can return to the general's mansion, he still wants to keep her hidden.
"Dating without the intention of getting married is just hooliganism!"
Jin Suting was filled with grief and indignation. She almost wanted to clamp a big knife on Helan Ruizhe's neck and ask him, "Tell me, man, do you really want to marry me?"
"Where did you learn these nonsense?" What about "falling in love" and "being a hooligan", Helan Ruizhe couldn't understand what was in Jin Suting's mind, which was wonderful and funny, but sometimes very annoying.
