Lin Feng and the others naturally didn't understand what was happening in the court, so they didn't ask much.
After a short rest, the convoy continued its journey. Xiao Lingling pretended that she wanted to ride a horse, leaving only the Lin Feng brothers behind, and she came out on her own on a horse to Su Daoxiu.
"Uncle Wang, do you have anything to do when you return to the capital this time? Is it dangerous?"
Su Daoxiu smiled and said, "It's not that dangerous, but it will take a long time to go back and forth. Your Aunt Liu seems to be able to handle it, but she will be in a state of panic when it comes to me and the children.
So, I try not to tell her my news. I will write the letters in advance and send them on different dates.
If my letter arrives, you can show her my letter. If it doesn't arrive, just give her the letter I prepared in advance."
Little Lingling's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she didn't believe a word he said about there being no danger.
But there wasn't much she could do. She couldn't just stop people from going.
So, she agreed decisively, "Okay, but Uncle Wang, if you can write a letter, you still have to write it. I'll send you two carrier pigeons when I get back.
If you are in danger or you don't come on the agreed date, I can find someone to rescue you."
Su Daoxiu couldn't help laughing. "Hahahaha, okay, don't worry, Uncle Wang will write to you. One letter every five days, how about that?"
Little Bell frowned, "Wouldn't it be a bit long? Three days, maybe?"
Su Daoxiu raised the corners of his mouth high, feeling particularly happy, "Okay, okay, three days is three days!"
Little Bell smiled happily, "That's right. By the way, when Uncle Wang comes back, please leave later. I'll prepare some things for you to take with you."
When you go out, it’s always better to be prepared! "
Xiao Lingling patted the small medicine bag hanging on her body, and Su Daoxiu understood instantly.
Over the past two years, he has become very familiar with the power of Xiao Lingdang's small medicine bag. "Alright, who knows, these strange things of yours might actually come in handy!"
"That's right! I'm really awesome! If you don't believe me, you'll know when you see me.
But since you still have things to do later, we have to hurry up. Let's speed up and we should be able to reach the capital before dark."
Seeing that her face was rosy and nothing was wrong, Su Daoxiu agreed.
Everyone hurried all the way without stopping, and finally, when it was getting dark, they successfully saw the city gate not far away.
In the backyard of Prince Xiang's mansion, Liu Jingrou asked the servants to send the two sleeping children back to their rooms. Looking at Zhao and Fang who were still frowning, she sighed helplessly in her heart.
"Aunt Zhao, sister-in-law, don't worry too much. Xiao Lingdang has a lot of helpers in the capital. Over the years, she has been to the capital with Divine Doctor Jiang to diagnose patients for those wealthy families.
That kind of friendship is not comparable to that of ordinary people. If something really happens to Xiao Lingling, they will definitely not stand idly by.
What's more, there is the Queen, she will definitely protect Xiao Lingling."
Zhao forced a smile. "I understand, but it's always unsettling when I can't see anyone. It's getting late, so we'll go back first. You should go to bed early too."
I'm sorry you've been so tired these past two days, having to take care of the kids and stay with us."
Liu Jingrou sighed, "I'm not tired, but I'm worried about your health. You haven't been eating or sleeping well these past two days, and I'm worried too."
As they were talking, a maid suddenly ran in hurriedly from outside.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! They're back! The Prince is back! And Her Royal Highness the Princess is back too!"
The three of them were shocked and immediately stood up and were about to walk out. However, due to the excitement, Zhao felt her legs were weak and she walked shakily.
Liu Jingrou and Fang quickly supported her on both sides.
"Really? Are they all back? Where are they? Have you seen them in person? Are they all okay?"
"Your Highness, I see it, I see it, it's in the front yard, and it's coming to the backyard now! Everything is fine, Her Highness the Princess is trotting in."
After hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and went out to greet them.
As soon as I walked into the yard, the sound of a small bell came in, accompanied by the sound of footsteps.
"Grandma!!! Mommy!! Aunt Liu, I'm back!!!"
As soon as Xiao Lingling entered the room, she saw three figures supporting each other, and immediately opened her arms and jumped over like a young swallow.
She fell straight into Zhao's arms. She was obviously very happy, but at this moment she felt her nose sore and tears rolled down.
Zhao held the child tightly in her arms with trembling hands and patted her on the back again and again.
There was no rebuke in the choked voice, "Be good, just come back, just come back!"
The more she didn't blame, the more guilty Xiao Lingling felt. The emotions she had been suppressing suddenly broke out, and she knelt down in front of Zhao with a plop, her eyes bloodshot.
"Grandma, I'm sorry, I can't avenge Grandpa now!"
Xiao Lingling knelt upright with her head lowered and her fists clenched tightly. A tear could be seen dripping from the tip of her nose.
Zhao was so distressed that she quickly stepped forward and tried to pull the man up.
"This is not your fault. How can I blame you? Don't you know that it was grandma who asked your father and the others to bring you back?"
Seeing that she couldn't pull the little bell, she simply squatted down and looked at her with a distressed face.
"Besides, my dear, you've been really good and worked really hard. If it weren't for you, we might have died in that drought and wouldn't have been able to enjoy the years of happiness we have now.
We are already very content! Compared to all that hatred, the safety of you and your brothers is the most important thing."
Little Lingling's small body kept shaking but she remained kneeling straight, and everyone who saw her had red eyes.
Especially Liu Jingrou, she has become many times more emotional since she had a child, and she has been crying uncontrollably for a long time.
Su Daoxiu gently held the person in his arms and turned his head away without any hesitation.
It’s not that Xiao Lingling doesn’t understand these principles, but whenever she thinks that her grandfather died because of her, she can’t forgive herself.
She fell into a strange stubbornness. She looked up and wanted to say something, but she saw the gray hair at Zhao's temples.
She froze completely.
How is that possible?
How is this possible? Grandma has been drinking the water from the Spirit Pond, and her body is much stronger than before. Her previously gray and dull hair has long since turned black and shiny.
But it’s only been a few days, how could it become like this?
She looked at Zhao's face carefully, and then she realized that Zhao's face had aged a little, and the corners of her eyes were full of worry and wrinkles!
Xiao Lingling understood instantly, and her heart was filled with sorrow and guilt.
Yes, the one who was most saddened by grandpa’s death was grandma. Even if she pretended to be strong, she was still sad in her heart.
But instead of trying to find a way to help her resolve the problem, she continued to make her worry and distressed. She was so unfilial!!!
