The imperial concubine is nine and a half years old, and she is willing to overturn the table and re

Xie Yuantang fell asleep on the way back.

Because she fell asleep so suddenly, Situ Yan thought she had fainted at first. He nervously felt her breath and only breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed that she was just asleep.

Just looking at Xie Yuantang's little face, Situ Yan's eyes showed clear worry.

It's obviously not normal to fall asleep like this.

I just hope they can get to Cangque soon and cure her quickly.

-

The next day, Zhongli Palace.

Situ Feng and his sister came to have dinner with their mother.

Thinking of yesterday's wedding scene, Situ Feng said with some regret: "I want my wedding to be as grand as this in the future."

Concubine Li smiled and said, "That's probably unlikely. After all, Princess Jasmine is a princess married to a foreign country, and your second brother is highly valued by your father, the emperor, so there are such specifications. If you want to have such specifications, you have to marry to a foreign country."

After a pause, she said with a faint smile, "Mother doesn't want you to go to marry. Mother would rather you stay by my side for the rest of your life. At least I can protect you. If you run away, what if you get bullied outside?"

Situ Feng hugged her arm and said coquettishly: "Feng'er is reluctant to leave mother."

Situ Xu looked at the mother and daughter and said in a deep voice: "You're overthinking. This is impossible."

With him around, there's no way this could happen.

Concubine Li nodded and smiled, "That's true. The greatest luck in my life is probably giving birth to a smart and filial son like Xu'er!"

Situ Feng raised her hand and touched Situ Xu's head: "Then my greatest luck is to have the best brother in the world!"

Being praised repeatedly by his mother and sister, Situ Xu's face immediately turned red, and he said uncomfortably: "It's good to know."

Concubine Li and Situ Feng looked at each other and held out their hands to him: "Xu'er, the money is all gone, give me some."

Situ Xu: “…” I knew it!

He sighed resignedly, and while taking out the banknotes, he asked, "I prepared all the money for Second Brother's share in advance, how come you guys have spent all your money again?"

Concubine Li: "I played cards with Concubine Xian and lost everything."

Situ Feng: "I bought clothes for Xiao Ling."

Situ Xu: “…”Okay.

The brother and sister chatted with Concubine Li for a long time. Concubine Li accidentally mentioned Xie Yuantang's God of Wealth Hand. Situ Feng smiled and said, "Then when I go to see her in the afternoon, help mother touch it a few more times."

Concubine Li was stunned for a moment, then looked at her daughter: "Are you going to see Xie Yuantang this afternoon?"

After a pause, she nodded and said, "Okay, it's a good opportunity for me to say goodbye to her. Cang Que is so far away, and I don't know when they will come back..."

"Mother concubine!"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Situ Xu in a harsh voice.

Concubine Li was slightly startled, not knowing what was going on: "What's wrong?"

Situ Feng blinked in confusion: "Mother, what did you say just now? Why should I say goodbye to Xie Yuantang? What does Cang Que Yuan have to do with her? She is not going to Cang Que."

Concubine Li: “…”

She realized later that her daughter didn't even know about this.

It would have been fine if she had kept it a secret for the past few days, but today Xie Yuantang was leaving Beijing, and she thought her daughter would know about it anyway, so she blurted it out, but she didn't expect...

Seeing her son staring at her, Concubine Li's eyes wandered with guilt, and she stood up and was about to run away: "Well, mother suddenly remembered something, I have to go back first..."

After taking two steps, Situ Feng grabbed her sleeve and said, "Where are you going, mother? This is Zhongli Palace."

Concubine Li: “…”

Situ Feng is usually very slow, but she understands her mother and brother.

Seeing Concubine Li looking so guilty, and seeing Situ Xu avoiding her gaze and not speaking, she realized belatedly that they were hiding something from her.

Situ Feng was stunned for a moment, thinking back to what Concubine Li had just said: "So you are hiding something from me, about Xie Yuantang? What happened to her?"

"This……"

Concubine Li was a little panicked and kept winking at her son.

It’s not that she didn’t dare to tell her daughter about this, but she was afraid that her daughter would be sad.

The mother and son were silent, and Situ Feng became even more anxious: "Tell me quickly, is her condition getting worse?"

"Of course she is. She's much thinner than before. And when I went to see her two days ago, she was sitting there motionless. She must be sick..."

The less they talked, the more Situ Feng thought about it. She stood up anxiously and ran out: "No, no, I have to go find her. Oh, by the way, call the imperial physician to go with me. Xu'er, go and call..."

"no need."

Situ Xu suddenly spoke up, stopping her and saying, "No need to call the imperial physician."

Situ Feng turned around blankly: "What do you mean?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Situ Xu sighed and said, "It's true that Xie Yuantang is not in good health. She needs to go to Cangque for treatment. Fifth brother will accompany her. They... will leave today."

Situ Feng suddenly froze.

It took me a while to understand what Situ Xu said, but I felt like I didn't understand it.

How come he suddenly became so ill that he had to go to Cangque?

Are you leaving today?

She opened her mouth, wanting to ask for clarification, but tears came out first: "Really? When did it happen? She didn't tell me, and you didn't tell me either..."

Situ Xu pursed his lips and said, "She doesn't want you to be sad for so long in advance, so she asked us to keep it a secret from you first."

"Then you'll listen?"

Situ Feng was so anxious that she cried and hit him: "How can such a big thing be kept secret? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have asked her to play with me. If I had known earlier..."

The words came out in sobs, and she didn't know what she would have done if she had known earlier, but it was too late to know now.

She recalled Situ Ran and Situ Mo's attitudes yesterday, and Bai Lang's look that day. It was obvious that these people had known it for a long time.

Not only is she stupid and unable to help, but she also smiles all day long.

Situ Feng sobbed and said, "I hate you guys, I hate Xie Yuantang!"

While saying these angry words, he took out banknotes from Situ Xu's sleeve, preparing to send them all to the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

Before she had even folded the banknotes, she heard a familiar voice coming from the door, a sweet voice with a smile in it: "Why do you hate me?"
