The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night

Su Li took the people from Qingshan Courtyard to have a lively hotpot meal.

The stars are sparse at night, and tomorrow should be a nice day with clear skies and wind.

In the yard, everyone seemed to be chatting and laughing, but they were actually gloomy inside.

Tomorrow is an unknown day.

This is the day that determines Pei Heng's future!

It is also the day that determines Su Li’s future!

"Miss, this old servant, this old servant, raises a glass to wish the prince all the best tomorrow!"

Nanny Li choked up and drank the wine in one gulp.

Doctor Fei beside her glared at her and said:

"Hey! Old woman, what do you mean? Do you have no confidence in the prince or in me?"

Nanny Li burst out laughing with tears in her eyes, and angrily hit Doctor Fei and said:

"Old Fei, if your hands start shaking tomorrow, I'll cut off your roast chicken and wine! You'll be left starving!"

The crowd roared with laughter.

Su Li glanced at Huan Ge'er who looked preoccupied, and picked up a mushroom for him. He ate it silently, and then she secretly picked up a piece of beef for him when he wasn't paying attention.

"Why? Do you have no confidence in me, or in your father?"

Huan Geer silently passed the beef to Xi Jieer next to him and said:

"I asked the teacher for a day off."

"Oh."

Su Li curled her lips. It was really worrying that this child didn't eat meat.

After raising her for so long, Xijie'er has become plump, but he is still so thin.

It’s okay to ask for leave.

There's no point in being scared in school. Brother Huan will be here tomorrow and can help.

Compared to everyone else, Pei Heng was in a good mood.

After he finished eating the meal specially prepared for him, he joined in the fun in his wheelchair. Looking at the steaming hot pot, he smiled and said:

"This hot pot looks delicious. Ah Li, when I get better, I want to try every one of your delicacies, the Sushan, the milk tea, the hot pot..."

"There's also barbecue, oden, spicy hot pot, crayfish, fried chicken, and beer!"

Su Li drank a glass of wine, her face flushed, and she talked about snacks like she knew them all.

In my previous life, I often had to attend social events, and I got tired of eating delicacies from land and sea. I still thought that the food on the roadside stalls was the best.

"it is good!"

Pei Heng looked at her red face and felt infinite tenderness in his heart.

Tonight, the stars are brilliant.

The inner courtyard gradually became quiet.

Su Li leaned against Pei Heng, quietly looking at the starry sky above her head.

"The bright moon shines brightly on my bed, and the stars are drifting west into the night."

Pei Heng tilted his head and rested his cheek against Su Li's head. His soft hair had a fresh jasmine scent that was faint in the quiet night.

How he wished they could stay together like this for the rest of their lives.

How he wanted to open his arms, create a space for her, and let her and the children live in peace under his protection!

"I heard the stars in the desert are so low and so close, so close you can almost reach them with your hands. Is that true?"

"Yeah! Lying on the sand dunes and watching the stars move."

"I really want to see it. When you're better, take me with you, okay? We can camp under the stars, just the two of us, without the kids."

"it is good."

"Also, I heard there are caves in the northwest with countless murals. Take me to see them too."

"it is good."

"I also want to ride a horse, listen to the wind whistling past my ears, and see the endless prairie..."

"it is good……"

Pei Heng responded repeatedly, his voice choked.

If possible, A'li, I would like to exchange the rest of my life for being with you.

……

The next morning, Su Li got up before Songzhi knocked on the door.

Everything is normal at Qingshanyuan today.

The maids and servants in the outer courtyard each did their job, cleaning what they were supposed to do and buying what they were supposed to do. They had no idea what was going on in the inner courtyard.

In the inner courtyard, Su Li stood in the center and arranged tasks.

"Song Tao, Wan Wan, Qian Qian, you three have your skills, so you will be in charge of guarding the gate today. Even if the emperor comes today, you are not allowed to set foot in the inner courtyard. If anyone disobeys, I will whip them! I will take responsibility if you cripple them!"

"Yes!"

Song Tao stood upright, holding a whip in his hand and giving one to Wanwan and Qianqian respectively.

"Mama, you are responsible for providing hot water and wiping the prince's sweat."

“Abba!!”

"Songzhi, help Master Fei with your thoughts!"

"Got it, miss."

"Shitou, Mute Slave, you are strong and responsible for taking care of the prince. If the prince struggles in pain, you must hold him down!"

"Ok!"

"Ahhh!"

"What about me!?" Huan Ge'er raised his hand eagerly.

He was so nervous that he didn't sleep all night. He had never been so nervous even when Mr. Sun tested him on his homework.

My palms are full of sweat at this moment.

Su Li patted his shoulder and said solemnly:

"Brother Huan is an adult now. Your mission today is the most important."

"What is it?"

"Take good care of Sister Xi!"

Huan Ge'er was stunned. Looking at his confused sister, he still nodded and followed the instructions.

"action!"

At Su Li's command, everyone started to work, each doing their own job.

……

At the gate of the Marquis's Mansion, the Marquis's wife personally greeted Imperial Physician Zheng as he got off the carriage with a smile on her face.

"Doctor Zheng, thank you for taking the trouble to come here in person. Thank you for your hard work."

The Marquis's wife said this with a wink.

Nanny Qian had already stuffed a stack of banknotes into Doctor Zheng's hands.

Doctor Zheng narrowed his eyes, weighed the banknote, and smiled:

"Madam Hou, it's easy to talk about it."

"Doctor Zheng, please."

The Marquis' wife led the way personally, and the group came to Qingshan Courtyard in a mighty procession.

"lady?"

When the maids and servants in the outer courtyard saw the marquis' wife, they all knelt down to greet her.

"Where is your young lady?"

The Marquis's wife looked around and saw that the gate to the inner courtyard was closed. She did not see Su Li or the maids and servants around her.

"No, I don't know."

The maid answered cautiously.

"Forget it, go and do your own thing." The Marquis's wife has always been kind and generous in front of outsiders.

"Yes."

The Marquis's wife gave a wink, and Nanny Qian stepped forward to push the door to the inner courtyard.

There was a creaking sound, and Song Tao opened the door and came out, followed by two maids, one on the left and one on the right, looking ferocious.

"Meet Madam!"

Song Tao smiled and saluted respectfully.

Madam Hou nodded awkwardly.

"Where's the young lady? Please come out quickly. Doctor Zheng from the palace is here to check Heng'er's pulse."

Songzhi smiled and said:

"Madam, you're here too early. The young lady and the prince are still asleep!"

Madam Hou frowned and looked at the sky.

"What time is it? Are you still asleep?"

Song Tao said:

"Madam, you know that the Crown Prince has a bad temper. He either curses or despises the Young Madam. The Young Madam is depressed and can't sleep well every night. She can only sleep for a while after the Crown Prince calms down."

The Marquis's wife was delighted.

That's right! Who can stand Pei Heng's bad temper?

"Well, then I'll wait in the outer courtyard with Doctor Zheng for a while, and you go wake her up. Doctor Zheng is very busy and has to rush back to the palace to report!"

"Yes. Madam, please sit down."

Song Tao knelt down and saluted, then returned to the inner courtyard with Qian Qianwanwan.

As soon as the door was closed, the three of them sat down by the door and drank tea.

The Marquis's wife waited for an incense stick of time but received no response, and she became increasingly annoyed.

Nanny Qian went forward and knocked on the door again.

"Mammy, the young lady just got up and is dressing."

The Marquis' wife waited patiently for another stick of incense.

"Madam, the young lady is having breakfast!"

Another stick of incense.

The Marquis's wife stood up suddenly and pushed the door open to come in.

Song Tao opened his arms to block it and said:

"Madam, the prince is defecating inside, and the young lady is waiting in the prince's room. It is really inconvenient for you to come in now."

The Marquis's wife subconsciously covered her mouth and nose.

"She's dawdling. Tell her to hurry up!"

Song Tao responded with a smile and slammed the door rudely.

Aunt Qian came over and said:

"Madam, something's wrong! It's been over half an hour. Could something have happened inside?"

The Marquis's wife shuddered and looked up at Nanny Qian. Could something have happened to Pei Heng inside? No, if he was dead, it wouldn't be so quiet. There would have been a commotion long ago.

"Go and call again."

Nanny Qian twisted her waist and knocked on the door fiercely.

"Madam, Madam, is the prince okay? Does he need any help from me, Madam?"

Hearing the sound of Song Tao opening the door, Nanny Qian gave a look to the maid beside her, and several of them tried together to squeeze in through the door.

But then there was a cry of "Ah", and the leading maid screamed and fell backwards, holding her stomach.

Qianqianwan came out with his hands folded across his chest and a cold face, while Songtao still maintained the posture of kicking people.

"Song Tao! What are you doing? Madam wants to go in to see the prince, and you dare to stop her?"

Nanny Qian's face turned grim and she started cursing.

Song Tao said with a smile:

"I already told you that the prince is taking a shit, it's inconvenient!"

"You say poop, then poop! Who takes so long to poop?"

"Then I have to ask you."

Song Tao tilted her head, stepped forward fiercely, and said loudly,

"Under your care, the prince has become increasingly thinner, starving to the point of being skin and bones. He doesn't even have the strength to defecate. With no food in his stomach, even not being able to defecate is excruciating. So, he'll have to defecate for a while longer than the average person!"

"vulgar!"

Nanny Qian prided herself on being a fierce fighter, but she had never seen such a fierce opponent.

"Are you holding the prince hostage and doing something shameful in there?"

"Ha! What shameful things could the prince do in this state? Madam Qian, you overestimate him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a scream was heard from the inner courtyard.

The screams were extremely shrill, mixed with endless pain, and made everyone present shudder.

Madam Qian even shuddered and her expression changed. She took two steps back to the side of the Marquis' wife.

"Madam, it's the prince."
