Shang Ruoyi looked up and saw Li Xia Xia wearing a golden brocade dress, looking at her with surprise.

"Is it really you?" Li Xia Xia's eyes widened: "Sister!"

Shang Ruoyi smiled and nodded: "It's me."

"elder sister!"

Li Xia Xia rushed down and hugged her: "Sister, you are not dead, that's great! It's really great!" Her voice was a little choked, and her eyes were red: "Grandfather will get better immediately when he sees you."

"Grandfather is ill?"

Li Xia Xia wiped her tears and said, "Grandfather has been ill since he heard that you were killed in the palace."

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruoyi hurried into the mansion.

The manor was not very big, but it was quite spacious for the two of them to live in. The servants serving in the mansion were mostly elderly people brought by the Li family from Beiling. They were very familiar with Shang Ruoyi, and when they saw her come in, they all stared at her with a look of disbelief on their faces.

Shang Ruoyi came to the inner room, which was filled with a strong smell of medicine.

Her heart sank and she walked in quickly.

"Cough cough." A low cough was heard, and the heavy breathing was faintly accompanied by a slight wheezing sound.

Hearing footsteps, he whispered, "Xia Xia, why are you back again? Cough cough cough."

"Grandfather."

The old man was lying on the bed. His eyes, which had been closed, suddenly opened and he stared at the ceiling. He was stunned for a long time, thinking he was hallucinating. He was afraid that the sound would disappear if he moved. After all, he had heard this sound countless times during this period of time.

"Grandfather."

The voice came again, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.

A figure slowly appeared in his sight.

The old man looked at her, not daring to blink, for fear that if he blinked, his lovely granddaughter would disappear before his eyes.

Shang Ruoyi stretched out her hand to feel his pulse and whispered, "How long have I been away? How come your body has become like this?"

Feeling the warmth of her hand, the old man stood up suddenly, grabbed her hand, and said anxiously: "Ruoyi, child, is it you? Is it really you? You are still alive! You are still alive!"

"It's me, Grandfather. I'm still alive."

Hearing this, the old man couldn't stop his tears from flowing: "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive!"

Seeing him like this, Shang Ruoyi felt something and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

In her previous life, she had no relatives and was betrayed by her most trusted teammates. She had no idea what it felt like to be loved unreservedly. In this life, she came here and had a father, brother, grandfather who loved her, and He Jingheng who treated her sincerely. It seemed that this place was making up for the regrets of her previous life.

Shang Ruoyi wiped away the tears in her eyes and said with a slightly reproachful tone: "How did your body become like this? I left so many pills for you before, did you not take them at all?"

"Sister, this is not Grandfather's fault. He has taken most of the medicine you left behind. He was originally in good health, but ever since he found out about you, no matter how much medicine he takes, his body has always been this sick."

In other words, if it weren't for her medicine, the old man would have died long ago.

Shang Ruoyi held his hand and slowly transferred the energy in her body into his. She didn't transfer much energy. After all, the old man was old, and if it was too much, she was afraid he wouldn't be able to bear it.

The old man was lying on the bed, feeling that his body was not as heavy as before, but a little light. He was stunned for a moment: "What did you do?"

"Nothing." Shang Ruoyi smiled, retracted her energy, and said with a smile: "I'll give you some pills later. Now that I'm back, I won't make you worry like before. I think you will be well soon."

She had just checked and found that the reason her grandfather's health was like this was due to stagnation of qi in his heart. She thought it was because of her disappearance. Fortunately, she had previously adjusted his body and cured his heart disease. Otherwise, after experiencing this incident, her grandfather might not be alive today.

"Child, what happened to you? Why did a fire break out in the palace? How did you disappear and come back?" The old man said anxiously, "No matter what, I hope you come back safe and sound."

"It's a long story. I'll tell you when you feel better."

"No." The old man said firmly: "Say it now, I want to hear it."

Shang Ruoyi heard this and smiled helplessly: "The reason for the fire in the palace is because I know some secrets about Concubine Zhao, and she wants to kill me to silence me." She waved her hand indifferently: "It's just some trivial tricks, I don't take it seriously."

"In that case, why don't you just come back?"

Shang Ruoyi hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Grandfather, I think you must have heard the rumors in the capital some time ago!"

"But are you talking about your aunt?" Li Xia Xia asked in a low voice.

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Not bad."

"Sister, this must have been spread deliberately by someone. How could you have heard them say that..."

"bastard."

As Shang Ruoyi finished speaking, the old man sat up again and said sternly, "What? Where did this come from? How could my daughter do such a thing?"

"Yes, how could my aunt be like this?"

"They're right."

Shang Ruoyi's words silenced the two indignant people instantly. They looked at her in disbelief: "What did you say?"

"I said, part of what they said is right. I am indeed not Shangnian's biological daughter. When my mother was brought into the Shang family, she was already pregnant. Shangnian also knew this."

"In front of?"

Shang Ruoyi nodded and continued, "But when my mother married Shangnian, she knew about my existence. But apart from my mother, no one knows who my biological father is. The main reason I left this time was to find out my true life experience. I will not allow anyone to insult my mother."

"Have you found it?" The old man's voice trembled, his eyes full of anxiety.

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Of course I am lucky to have fulfilled my mission."

"tell me the story."

"King of the Western Region City."

King of the city?

"Are you talking about the city king who has made great military achievements?" the old man asked in shock.

She nodded: "Yes, you not only have a granddaughter, but also a grandson, the prince of the city, Jun Zeqian."

Hearing her say this, the old man just found it unbelievable.

Li Xia Xia was listening at the side and said excitedly, "Did your sister recognize your uncle?"

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "That's right."

The old man felt relieved. He patted Shang Ruoyi's hand and said with relief, "Good! Good! Now you have someone who can protect you. Grandfather can finally rest assured. Even if I die right now, I will have no regrets."
