Qing Kingdom, the imperial estate of Yanjing City.

When Shen Wei woke up, it was already late spring a month later. When she woke up, she felt pain all over her body. She looked down at her palms and found that she had lost weight and the protrusion of bones was clearly visible.

"Mother!"

"Mother!!"

There was a cry of surprise in my ears.

Shen Wei raised her eyes and saw Le You who had lost a lot of weight. Le You burst into tears and cried as she threw herself into Shen Wei's arms.

Shen Wei patted her daughter's back and said, "I'm fine. Tell me, what's going on in Yanjing City recently?"

Le You cried and choked as he told Shen Wei everything that happened in Yanjing City.

Li Yuanjing and Li Chengyou were still on their way back. The journey from Nanchu to Nanhai to Yanjing City would take at least a month. They were already hurrying along.

The Ninth Prince of Nanchu held a grand funeral for the late emperor who had passed away. He killed a group of stubborn old ministers and ascended the throne by stepping on their corpses.

The situation in Nanchu and Qingguo is quite tense, and Li Chengtai has been very busy these days.

Shen Wei said: "Help me go out for a walk."

Le You immediately supported Shen Wei with his hands and feet. It was still the familiar imperial manor in Yanjing City, and outside the manor was the sparkling Luoyue Lake. Shen Wei stood by the lake, closed her eyes, and felt the warm sunlight falling on her skin.

Cheek pores are stretched.

It's warm and comfortable.

It's great to be alive...

In the late spring in Luoyue Lake, the tender green lotus leaves have already spread out one by one, pleasure boats are sailing slowly on the lake, and in the distance is the majestic Yanjing City.

Shen Wei had a dreamlike feeling, as if she had had a long dream, and Yuan Xier, Yuan Fu, and Li Yuanli were all people in her dream.

Not long after Shen Wei woke up, Li Chengtai from the palace received the news and rushed over without stopping. Seeing Shen Wei regain consciousness, Li Chengtai's nose was sore and his eyes were red instantly.

"Mother..." Li Chengtai's voice choked with sobs.

Shen Wei patted his shoulder and said, "Don't cry, I'm fine. The new emperor of Nanchu has ascended the throne. That guy is not simple. You need to pay attention."

The new emperor of Southern Chu is the ninth prince Li Mi. This kid has suffered from Li Yuanli's abuse since he was a child. He is determined and his methods are not simple.

The political situation has changed, new emperors of Qing and Nanchu have ascended the throne, and it is time for the older generation to make a grand exit and hand over the stage to the newcomers.

"Mother, I understand." Li Chengtai's tears were stuck in his eyes. His mother was still the mother who cared about him.

Li Chengtai brought the imperial physician and countless precious medicinal materials. He was reluctant to leave the villa and accompanied Shen Wei for three days with all his heart.

Finally, Shen Wei couldn't stand it anymore and kicked him back to the palace to handle state affairs.

Shen Wei was very weak. She leaned over to the silver mirror and found that her skin was slightly dull and there were even faint fine lines at the corners of her eyes. Shen Wei cried out that it was bad and quickly started beauty and fitness.

Work hard on fitness and beautify your skin!

Strive to live to be a hundred years old!

Besides training, Shen Wei also did not forget to find Shopkeeper Ye from Yanjing City to discuss with her the plan of opening shops in Donglin and Nanchu. Before she became "Yuan Xier", she collected a lot of business information in Nanchu along the way, and she knew which shops were suitable to open in Nanchu.

Life has returned to normal, without Li Yuanjing disturbing her anymore. Shen Wei loves her retirement life so much!

Comfortable, free and free!

"Master, a letter from the retired emperor." At the Luoyue Lake Royal Manor, Cai Lian presented an expedited letter.

Shen Wei was studying Nanchu's business landscape. She didn't even raise her head and said, "Put it aside. Read it when you have time."

Li Yuanjing had hurried to Nanchu before, and after Shen Wei was rescued, Li Yuanjing hurried back. The journey was long and he wished he could grow wings and fly to Shen Wei.

But the road ahead is long.

Li Yuanjing could only write letters to convey his lovesickness in advance.

After Shen Wei finished planning the layout of Nanchu's shops and tasted the fragrant lotus tea, she slowly opened the letter sent by Li Yuanjing. The letter was short, and every word was full of concern, and he hoped that Shen Wei would write back to him.

Shen Wei thought about it and realized that Li Yuanjing had been in a lot of trouble these days. She took out a pen and paper and wrote a short reply to Li Yuanjing.

...

Yanjing City, Yan Mansion.

The King of Wu had been in a bad mood in recent days. When he learned that Yuan Xier had died in Nanchu, he was overwhelmed with emotions and a little bit of sadness in his heart.

Although Yuan Xier was not good-looking, she was his concubine after all. The King of Wu lay crookedly on the chair, trying to digest the sadness in his heart.

Princess Donglin walked into the house, glanced at her depressed brother, and comforted him, "Yuanfu has gone to Nanchu to pick up his sister's body and bring it back to Donglin. I gave him a sum of money, enough for him to buy a good coffin for Yuan Xier."

Prince Wu said gloomily, "Sister...how about burying Yuan Xier behind Prince Wu's palace? When I die in the future, let her be buried in the same mausoleum with me."

Yuan Xier's greatest wish before her death was to marry him.

The King of Wu wanted to fulfill her wish.

Princess Donglin said unhappily, "Yuanfu disagrees. He wants to bury his sister next to his parents."

The King of Wu was disappointed.

After staying in Yan's mansion for a long time, eating delicacies from land and sea and wearing silk and satin every day, the King of Wu gradually felt empty inside. Especially after learning of Yuan Xier's death, the King of Wu felt even more empty inside.

He stood up and said, "Sister, I'm going to go out for a walk. You don't have to wait for me for dinner."

Princess Donglin said, "Take two guards with you and don't play too late."

King Wu walked out of Yan's mansion with a heavy heart.

Yanjing City was still prosperous, the streets were crowded with people, the restaurants were fragrant, and the girls selling flowers on the streets were beautiful. But the King of Wu was depressed and had no interest in anything.

Finally, it was the guard Zhang Wuge who suggested: "Your Highness, how about going to Luoyue Lake to admire the lotus? I heard there are many beauties there."

The King of Wu nodded sullenly.

The carriage arrived at Luoyue Lake. In late spring, the lakeside was full of flowers and tourists were flocking in. The pleasure boats were moored by the lakeside, and there was constant laughter and joy. King Wu shook the white jade fan in his hand and sighed: "The excitement is theirs, I am just a lonely handsome man."

Brother Zhang Wu: ...

The King of Wu disliked the crowds, so he turned around and looked for a quiet place along the lake. Zhang Wuge reminded him, "Your Highness, you can't go any further west. I heard that it's the other courtyard of the princess and princes of Qing Kingdom, and no one is allowed to approach."

King Wu said unhappily, "I know what's going on. It's just that Yuan Xier passed away, and I feel sad... Actually, if you think about it carefully, Yuan Xier was a good person, pretty, brave, and smart."

There are many beauties in the world, but there are not many who are smart, brave, strong and courageous.

The King of Wu regretted it.

If he had known that Yuan Xier was a beautiful woman with a tragic fate, he should have married her early and settled her in the backyard of the palace. Perhaps she could have saved her life.

The King of Wu closed his eyes, feeling infinite sadness in his heart: "It's hard to find a beautiful woman again. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to fall in love with another woman in this life——"

Before he finished speaking, the King of Wu paused in waving his white jade fan. He saw a stunningly beautiful figure in a pavilion by the lake not far away.

The green lotus leaves are spreading out, the thin gauze veil is swaying in the lake breeze, the woman is holding her chin with one hand, her black hair scattered on her shoulders, admiring the beautiful lakeside scenery in late spring and early summer.

King Wu's heart was pounding!

What a beautiful back, as if it had appeared in his dreams thousands of times!

His intuition told him that this must be the extraordinary woman predicted by the State Master of Yue!
