Maybe Chu Yunchuan had seen this before, or maybe this thing is useless at all. In any case, Bai Zhi did her best.

Changfeng put away the stack of papers and climbed into the house through the window.

Bai Zhi: "...What's going on? Could it be that something happened to Chu Yunchuan again?"

Changfeng had a dull face with no expression, but Baizhi could vaguely see the words "distraught". Changfeng whispered: "It takes less than a day to send a message from the north to the capital using mechanical devices. Now that we haven't received any news, His Highness will not change his mind."

Bai Zhi silently watched the flickering candlelight.

Although this result was expected, it still makes people sigh.

"Forget it. Life is unpredictable." Bai Zhi said, "You should send him the letter as soon as possible. Maybe it will be of some use."

Changfeng suddenly grabbed Baizhi's arm, exerting considerable strength on her hand, squeezing Baizhi so hard that she grimaced even through several layers of clothes: "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?"

"Advise Your Highness once more."

"Hurry up." Bai Zhi slapped the iron hand off her arm and glared at him. "You're playing pot tossing. If you miss once, try again. There's always a chance you'll hit the target, right?"

Changfeng was persuaded by Baizhi, and stood there motionless, with his eyes downcast, like an abandoned puppy. Baizhi felt a little sorry for him, and pointed to the chair beside the desk: "Sit down."

Changfeng sat down, but his limbs were quite stiff. Bai Zhi asked, "It's understandable that Fang Zhiheng wanted to stop him, but why did you want to stop him? Don't tell me you care about the people."

Chang Feng said: "Your Majesty loves the people like her own children. If Your Majesty were here, she would definitely not let His Highness do this."

Bai Zhi could understand that the "queen" Changfeng was referring to was Princess Jing, Chu Yunchuan's mother.

"Fang Zhiheng came to me because he knew he couldn't persuade Chu Yunchuan. What about you?" Bai Zhi asked, "You also feel you can't persuade Chu Yunchuan?"

Changfeng nodded silently.

"Then pray to the princess." Bai Zhi put her hands together, "Like this. The end of the year is approaching, maybe the princess will show up."

Changfeng looked at his hands, slowly put them together, closed his eyes and silently recited. When he opened his eyes, Baizhi saw that he was obviously much more energetic, so she drove him out and prepared to go to bed.

She has been running back and forth for several days and still hasn't had a break.

Bai Zhi crawled into the warm bed and fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the pillow. Just as she was dreaming about going to Qing County to buy a big house and open a store, someone shook her arm and pulled her out of the house in her dream: "Miss Bai, the queen appeared!"

"……What?"

On the morning of New Year's Eve, the Xuanping Marquis's mansion seemed very deserted. Although Gu Laoer had done his best to decorate the mansion, everything was decorated in a bright and lively manner, and from a distance one might have thought it was on fire, it was still very deserted.

After all, Old Madam Gu was still lying on the bed in a daze, the First and Second Madams were gone in the mansion, and the Third Madam had to take care of her pregnancy and could only stay in Yishuiyuan without going out a single step. It would not be interesting to rely on just Concubine Song to make a fuss.

During this happy time of the New Year, Bai Zhi was not at all willing to join in the crowd at Gu Lao Er's place. She didn't even pretend to do so and, under the pretext of preserving her pregnancy, she stayed in Yishui Garden to pack her luggage.

Yesterday morning, she gave a large sum of money to Xu the Cook and Lin Chuqi for the New Year and let them go home to celebrate the New Year. Even Changfeng, who had always been with her, left the capital three nights ago. Today, there were only the two of them left in the huge Yishui Garden.

It was too quiet, so Baizhi and Qiaoqiao hit it off and decided to go to the Lin family to celebrate the New Year today.

We will be living together in the future anyway, so this can be considered as getting to know each other in advance.

"Miss, Miss, let's buy some more delicious food and drinks. Let's go to Wanjia Street and buy the best!"

"Didn't you just buy a big bag yesterday? Why are you buying more?" Bai Zhi pulled Qiaoqiao's braid, "This is enough to last until the 15th!"

"Ah?" Qiaoqiao frowned as she looked at the five large bundles and three large food boxes beside the bed. "This is not enough. We will eat it all in three days."

"Three days? Are you feeding pigs?"

"Miss, please buy some more, Miss." Qiaoqiao hugged Baizhi's arm and rocked back and forth, "Buy more, buy more. Of course, we have to eat and drink more during the New Year. How can we do the same as usual?"

"Okay, okay." Bai Zhi had no choice but to agree, "Go pack the clothes I bought for Chuqi and his mother. I'm going to Donkey Shop Street to get the carriage I bought earlier."

"Ah? Miss, why don't you use the carriage of the Marquisate?"

"...Bai Ying Xianqi, isn't it too conspicuous to drive the Marquis's carriage away on New Year's Eve and never come back?"

"It seems so..."

Lin Chuqi was lighting a fire in the kitchen, and a pot of Lin Ruogui's medicine was cooking on the small stove.

Since Lin Ruogui went to the Marquis' Mansion, her illness has improved a lot. Although she still needs to be absent-minded for several days before waking up for one or two days, she is much more energetic during these one or two days than before. The imperial physician in the palace came to see her several times, his eyes were almost popping out, and he asked Lin Ruogui what elixir she had taken. Lin Ruogui said that she had a dream, which could relieve her worries, and she has gradually gotten better since then.

Heart disease needs heart medicine, so it is not too far-fetched to say that the imperial physician gave her a prescription to calm her mind and then left mumbling. Only Lin Ruogui herself knew that she did not have any dreams to relieve her worries, but she faintly heard someone tell her that King Jing had descendants and the reconstruction of the Thirteen States was imminent.

This sentence worked better than any panacea. She opened her eyes the next day and asked Chuqi who had come yesterday. Chuqi said that only Xu A Niang and the Third Madam had come.

Third Madam, Third Madam, Lin Ruogui intended to visit the Marquis' Mansion again, but although her spirit had recovered, her body was still extremely weak, so she stayed in bed and recuperated until the New Year.

The medicine in the pot had been bubbling for an hour. Lin Chuqi poured out a bowl, blew it cool carefully, and brought it to Lin Ruogui's bed. She helped Lin Ruogui to lie down and said, "Mom, drink the medicine."

Lin Ruogui took the medicine bowl, turned his pale face to look at the busy street outside the window, and asked: "Chuqi, what day is today?"

"It's New Year's Eve, mother." Lin Chuqi wiped her hands on her short apron and smiled, "I woke up at the right time today. I've already bought vegetables and meat. I'm going to make the New Year's Eve dinner now. Mother, is there anything else you want to eat?"

The empty bowl was placed on the bedside. Lin Ruogui lifted the quilt and said, "My hands and feet are much more relaxed today. I'll help you."

"No, no!" Lin Chuqi wrapped Lin Ruogui back into the quilt without saying anything, "Mom, the doctor said you need to rest!"

Lin Ruogui sighed: "Just take a rest, when will this end..."

"Don't be afraid, mother." Lin Chuqi smiled with her tiger teeth showing, "After the Third Madam takes us back to the Thirteen States, your illness may be cured."
