If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

The next day, Shen Sui'an called Feng Yuanjia to have lunch together.

Feng Yuanjia looked listless, with dark circles under his eyes. It seemed that he did not sleep well last night.

"What's wrong?" Shen Sui'an laughed, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Sister Shen, please stop asking questions when you already know the answer." Feng Yuanjia sighed dejectedly.

"Fu Jinyi is just a stubborn person!" she cursed with gritted teeth.

Shen Suian winked at Ban Jian.

Banjian sent away the maids who were serving him.

"Yuanjia, you know that the emperor has a heart disease, right?" Shen Suian said in a low voice.

Feng Yuanjia nodded, "I know, it's not a secret."

How could she not know what the entire Southern Dynasty knew? Moreover, it was unusual for the emperor to live in Suzhou.

"Then...are you attracted to him just now, or have you thought about the future?" Shen Suian asked again.

Feng Yuanjia subconsciously clenched the teacup in his hand. "Being with the person you love, regardless of the length of time, there will always be a moment in your life that is perfect. Or finding a stranger to spend your life with, and finally dying with regrets, there are only these two choices."

"When I was in Yunzhou, my mother selected several young men from aristocratic families for me. I was bored talking to them. As long as I thought about staying with them for a long time, I would rather die alone."

"Just like my mother and father, haha." Since family disgrace should not be made public, she did not say much.

However, Shen Sui'an understood that Prince Zhennan had let Princess Ye down and that he was not worthy of her.

"I am very happy to be with Ah Yi. His voice, his smile, and his smell all make me want to get close to him."

"I haven't felt so comfortable with other men."

"It would be fine if he didn't like me, but he obviously did, but he rejected me for a reason that might not even exist. I was so angry."

Shen Sui'an said: "When he was a child... there was indeed an imperial physician who said that his heart disease would shorten his life."

Like Fu Jinyuan, she hoped that Fu Jinyi could have a happy marriage, but she also didn't want to hide it from Feng Yuanjia.

Being honest with each other, knowing each other and loving each other is the happiest thing.

"The imperial physician said that he wouldn't live past the age of ten or fifteen, but he's fine now," Feng Yuanjia said unhappily.

"You've got to take care of your body. Doctor Zhou said that his heart disease won't affect his ability to get married and have children. So why is he still being so awkward?" She was so pissed.

Shen Sui'an chuckled, "He just doesn't want you to be sad in the future."

Feng Yuanjia snorted, "I don't know if I'll be sad in the future, but I'm very sad now."

"Forget it, I'm leaving tomorrow, going back to get married, and never coming back again."

Shen Sui'an: "Don't say angry words."

"No, I won't go back to get married. I will find someone to marry in Suzhou, and let him watch me get married and have children with someone else, and watch me grow old with someone else." Feng Yuanjia said angrily.

Shen Sui'an couldn't help wanting to laugh, but he managed to hold it back, "Okay, then I'll be your matchmaker."

"No, no, no, let me think about it again." Feng Yuanjia hurriedly stopped him.

"Okay, let's eat first. You must have eaten nothing this morning." Shen Sui'an said.

Feng Yuanjia: "I'm so angry."

Shen Sui'an asked Ban Jian to arrange lunch.

Banjian, who was standing outside the door, responded and glanced cautiously at the emperor, whose face was ashen.

Fu Jinyuan took his brother, who was unable to recover, away.

"It seems there is nothing for you to do." Fu Jinyuan said lightly.

"?" Fu Jinyi turned his head and looked at his brother, "Why is it none of my business?"

Fu Jinyuan: "What else, you married Princess Yuanjia?"

“……” Fu Jinyi lowered his head with a gloomy expression.

"If you really don't have confidence, then please ask Doctor Zhou and other imperial doctors to take your pulse again to see if you really won't live for a few more years," said Fu Jinyuan.

"Isn't Doctor Zhou in the royal capital?" Fu Jinyi said.

Fu Jinyuan: "He should be arriving in Suzhou soon."

Zhou Zhou would come to check Fu Jinyi's pulse and adjust the prescription at regular intervals.

However, in the past six months, Fu Jinyi no longer needs to take medicine every day. Doctor Zhou prepared heart-protecting pills for him. He only needs to take one pill in a hurry when he feels very uncomfortable in his heart.

Fu Jinyi hasn't taken heart-protecting pills in half a year.

……

The royal capital.

Empress Dowager Ruan issued an edict to confer a title on Madam Zhong, and Madam Zhong became the first female marquis in the history of the Southern Dynasty.

Mu Chengtian wanted to protest, but not many people agreed with him.

Capturing the King of the Western Regions alive is such a great achievement.

Seeing the title of Marquis of Zhong'an hung on Madam Zhong's mansion, Mu Chengtian knew that Madam Zhong would never be able to return to the Mu family.

He had always thought that Mrs. Zhong was just angry for the time being, and he would take her home when she calmed down.

After all, they have been married for so many years, how could they get divorced over such a small matter?

"Madam!" Mu Chengtian's face lit up with joy when he saw Madam Zhong walking out of the gate, and he hurried to greet her.

Mrs. Zhong looked at him indifferently, "General Mu, you should call me Marquis Zhong'an."

Mu Chengtian looked helpless, "Why are you still angry? It's been so long."

"Come home with me. From now on, I will only take care of you and have no more involvement with the first wife. Okay?"

Mrs. Zhong rolled her eyes and said, "Can you please stop disgusting me?"

"You and I have already divorced. If I need a man, I can keep a younger one. Why would I look for you again?"

Mu Chengtian's face darkened, "You dare?"

Mrs. Zhong looked at him contemptuously, "What do you think?"

"..."Mu Chengtian was helpless and furious, holding his breath as he watched Madam Zhong get on the carriage.

Mrs. Zhong didn't want to get involved with Mu Chengtian at all. She just wanted to resolve the issue of the King of the Western Regions as soon as possible and then lead her troops to Suzhou as soon as possible.

After living in Suzhou for a few months, she felt much more comfortable than in the royal capital.

Queen Mother Ruan demanded that the Western Regions cede eight cities in exchange for the King of the Western Regions.

The news was sent back to the Western Regions, causing an uproar there.

The King of the Western Regions has not been on the throne for long, and he has two brothers who have long been dissatisfied with him.

When the news from the Southern Dynasty was sent back, they were certainly unwilling to cede land in exchange for the King of the Western Regions.

I wish the King of the Western Regions would die in the Southern Dynasty.

In fact, Queen Mother Ruan had no intention of letting the King of the Western Regions go back.

Ruan Xiuyuan's legs were injured during the war with the King of the Western Regions.

Mrs. Zhong just received news that the two princes of the Western Regions have been fighting among themselves and are competing for the throne.

When they arrived at the Siyi Pavilion, Mrs. Zhong told the King of the Western Regions the news.

"King of the Western Regions, you probably didn't expect that your two brothers didn't want you to go back alive at all?" Mrs. Zhong asked with a smile.

“……” The King of the Western Regions had a gloomy expression on his face.

He raised his eyes to look at Madam Zhong, "I want to see Queen Mother Ruan. I have a secret that I can exchange with her."

Mrs. Zhong raised her eyebrows, "What do you think is of value in you?"

"The secret about Ruan Xiuyuan."

Mrs. Zhong glanced at him indifferently.

She reported the words of the King of the Western Regions to the Queen Mother.

Queen Mother Ruan just sneered when she heard this, "Go and take him to the palace."

PS: I've been very busy recently, especially as the Qingming Festival is approaching. The grassroots workers are having a hard time every day. Not only do they have no holidays, but they also have to prevent and put out forest fires.
