But he thought too simply. He did not sleep that night. He had a fever again and again. Sometimes she felt cold and burrowed into his arms. Her hot skin made it difficult for him to fall asleep. Sometimes she felt hot again and kicked the quilt and kicked him away.

She vomited again in the second half of the night, and he held up his body to feed her medicine while listening to her nightmares in which she was calling for her mother and then her father.

He coaxed her patiently until the name Xiao Yunjin was spoken.

In an instant, all the gentle smiles disappeared, and only murderous intent remained in his eyes.

In fact, when Su Muxi called out Xiao Yunjin, she was completely sober.

But she didn't dare to open her eyes, and she couldn't open her eyes. Fortunately, she had done this kind of disguise many times in her previous life. She lay softly on the bed, and no one could tell anything.

The burning gaze was like a thorn in her back, and Su Muxi felt like she had fallen into an icy cave. She didn't know how he would react when he heard this.

It was not until she heard the door close that she slowly opened her eyes. It was already dawn outside the window. She felt as if she had walked through the gates of hell again, and her heart began to beat slowly.

When she was eight years old, her father brought her to the palace to attend classes. She saw Xiao Yunjin eavesdropping on her. He was sickly and not as strong as her fourth brother. He always hid in a corner reading or writing alone.

He was so handsome, completely different from her brother, so she always followed him, and when he was bullied by other princes, she would help him fight back.

"How can you be so stupid? You don't fight back when you're bullied."

"Wait for me here tomorrow and I'll teach you swordplay."

She said a lot, but he didn't say a word, but he still went to the appointment the next day.

In this way, she talked every day and he practiced martial arts every day.

It was not until he was granted marriage and crowned king at a palace banquet that everyone praised him and envied him. The thirteen-year-old prince was the first in the history of the Dayun Dynasty.

But she saw him crying, and he said he didn't want to be king or marry.

He said he wanted to leave here, forever.

"How can you leave? I'll help you," she remembered asking.

"Unless you have military achievements like the King of Huaiyang, you can snatch me away." This is his answer.

She knew that the King of Huaiyang was divided into three parts. His father guarded the northwest, and the King of Huaiyang guarded the southwest. He had a strong army of 500,000 soldiers, but her father only had 200,000. She couldn't help him, but seeing that he was sad, she still said, "I am good at riding and shooting. My father said that I am most like him. I will definitely be a female general in the future. When I can lead the army, I will snatch you away and set you free."

They never saw each other again after that day. She followed her father to the battlefield, and he stayed in the capital and became a prince. Until the news of his death in battle spread to the northwest, she returned to Shangjing and met He Yuncheng, who was similar to him.

He Yuncheng looks too much like him when he was a child. As for the War King Xiao Yunjin, the decisive and ruthless Xiao Yunjin, he could not appear in her mind. The Xiao Yunjin she knew was always the taciturn one.

So when he disguised himself as He Yuncheng, the elegant, confident, and smooth-talking young man from a noble family, she never thought that they were the same person.

Long-forgotten memories flooded into my mind like a tide, and by the time I came to my senses, I was already in tears.

In the following days, he never set foot into Fangfei Courtyard again. She hid in the backyard to recuperate and did not even leave her room.

Just like that, the birthday of the old lady of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion arrived. Old Madam He came to Fangfeiyuan for a rare occasion to discuss with her what birthday gift to give.

Several sisters from other branches also came with her. They greeted her one by one. She knew all these people in her previous life, but now she was a new bride who hadn't even offered tea to her wife. Naturally, she had never seen these people before, so she just asked Zhijuan to give out the gifts she had originally given.

Old Madam He gave birth to five sons and two illegitimate sons. The Yong'an Marquis's Mansion had seven branches. The He family was prosperous, and there were many people to take care of things, so the mansion was naturally stretched to the limit.

It would have been fine in previous years, but this year, because of our relationship with her, I would naturally add a few more points to the birthday gift.

She knew what Madam He meant. "Of course I will prepare a separate copy. As for the Marquis' Mansion, everything will be in accordance with Grandmother's wishes. Madam An doesn't care about these formalities."

Old Madam He was so angry that her teeth ached. She came this time also to combine the two birthday gifts together. In this way, she could prepare the birthday gifts according to usual years, and add the one for her granddaughter-in-law, which would be both beautiful and valuable.

But this granddaughter-in-law didn't fall for it at all. It turned out that everything she had heard about him being stupid, rich and rude was all lies.

That would be fine, but she was a strong female princess who had been to the battlefield, and she fell ill three days after arriving at the Marquis' Mansion. How would outsiders view their Marquis' Mansion?

"Your body is not well yet. Let Yuting and Yurao stay with you tomorrow so they can take care of you."

Yuting and Yurao are the legitimate daughters of the third and seventh rooms. She knows what Madam He means. Following her, she can meet the eldest princess and if she is attracted to her, her future marriage will naturally be the best.

In her previous life, she and Xiao Yunjin were newlyweds, and were in great love with each other. Not only did they bring the birthday gifts together, but all the sisters in the room were brought to the presence of the eldest princess. The eldest princess was close friends with the old lady of the Duke of Anguo's mansion. She caused her sister-in-law to die by hitting her coffin, so how could the old lady of the Duke of Anguo really like her? The eldest princess disliked her for offending the old lady, and deliberately ignored her, and even her legitimate sisters and illegitimate sisters who came with her were punished.

It was a thankless job, and when he returned to the marquis's mansion, he was bullied by the old lady again.

Madam He looked at her for a long time without saying anything, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Then it's settled. The birthday gift will be increased by 30%. Tomorrow, Yuting and Yurao will ride in a carriage with you and serve you."

"Grandma has made very good arrangements. Thank you for your consideration."
