The next day, Su Li woke up at dawn.
She was just about to get up and dress when Xiao Ye, who had heard the noise outside, walked in.
"Ma'am, are you awake?"
Due to the special circumstances last night, Xiao Ye had been guarding outside. Not only that, Ji Tinglan had placed secret guards at various key points throughout the mansion.
As Su Li said, Prince Ning hated them to the core and wanted to kill them as soon as possible. No one knew whether he would force the emperor to abdicate or send people to raid the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion.
"Is there any news from the palace?"
"No."
Su Li frowned. It had already been a whole night. If Prince Ning had taken action last night, the situation would have been resolved by now, right? Was it simply too difficult? Did Prince Ning have another hidden weapon up his sleeve?
"If you have any news, report it immediately."
There's no point in being anxious and worried, just wait for the news.
After all, Ji Tinglan and the prince are the male protagonist and the future emperor of the original novel respectively, so she should believe them.
After washing up, Su Li prepared to have breakfast: "Are Zhao'er and his sister awake?"
Xiao Ye replied, "The young prince and the princess get up at dawn every day and are now studying in their respective rooms."
Su Li nodded: "Where's Abao?"
"Xiao Wu is taking care of him. Princess, do you want to see him? I will go and call him over."
"Well, go ahead and let him have breakfast before coming back."
It was already daybreak, and it was time for Abao to get up.
Not long after Xiao Ye came back, Xiao Wu brought A Bao over.
Perhaps it was Xiaowu who taught him that, as soon as Abao came in, he bowed to her politely: "Abao greets the princess, long live the princess."
Su Li waved: "Abao, come here."
Pulling his hand, she said directly: "Abao, Zhao Xingwen died last night."
Po's eyes widened, a little bit unbelieving: "Dead?"
"There was a banquet held in the palace last night. Zhao Xingwen drank too much and accidentally fell into a well and died..."
A Bao blinked, and a tear fell unexpectedly, but his expression and tone were somewhat indifferent: "When he pushed my mother into the well, he probably didn't think that he would die in the well one day. I don't need revenge, but... I will have no parents in the future..."
Su Li felt a little distressed and touched his thin little face: "Abao, you are a good child. If you are willing, you can live in this Zhuangyuan Mansion in the future. I will let you study, or in other words, you can do whatever you want and learn whatever you want, okay?"
There seemed to be some surprise in A Bao's red eyes: "Really, Princess, can I live here with you from now on?"
"Of course it's true."
A Bao wiped the tears from his eyes and smiled: "Then I am willing to live here from now on..."
He had already lost his parents, and he didn't want to be close to his grandparents in the future. The princess was the best person to him since his mother passed away, and he was perfectly willing to live with her.
"Good boy."
Su Li gently patted his thin shoulders before saying, "Abao, there's something I need to tell you. The other day, when you and Xiaowu were walking down the street, I mistook you for Princess Yulun of the Nanli Kingdom. Do you remember?"
Po nodded: "I remember."
"She said you look very similar to her dead nephew. You know that, right?"
"Know."
"At the palace banquet yesterday, Princess Yulun told me that she wanted to adopt you as her adopted son and bring you back to Nanli. Are you willing? Don't worry, I'm not trying to drive you away. It's just that you're old now, and there are some things I will respect your opinion and let you make your own choice."
Po said firmly, "Princess, I will live here from now on and I won't go anywhere."
"Okay, but Princess Yulun has a deep bond with her nephew, and she really wants you to go with her. She even said yesterday that she wanted to ask you in person. You should meet with her today and tell her in person if you want to refuse her, okay?"
Seeing the worried look on his face, she assured him, "Don't worry, no one can take you away if you don't want to."
Po finally felt relieved and nodded: "I'll listen to the princess..."
As soon as the two finished talking, Xiao Ye came in and said, "Princess, Princess Yulun is here."
Su Li was not surprised that he came so early.
She glanced at Abao. If Princess Yulun was really the original Lady Zhao Yu Niang as she guessed, Abao might go with her.
However, if this is the case, it means that Abao has a biological mother, which is a good thing for him, isn't it?
"Princess Yulun, please come in."
"yes."
Xiao Ye left immediately.
Su Li said, "Abao, Princess Yulun is here. You should talk to her properly later."
A Bao responded very obediently: "Okay..."
