The day her husband welcomed the time-traveling girl into the house, she woke up

"Grandma isn't old at all. If someone who doesn't know her looks at us, they'll probably think we're sisters!"

"Don't try to cheer me up with sweet words. I only look good on the outside, but I've already started to age and decay on the inside. I can't be compared with young people in any way. So, Ali, you should enjoy life while you're still young. Don't waste the rest of your life because of a bad apple!"

"Ah."

Li Shu nodded, thinking that as long as she could change her fate, she would be able to live the rest of her life in a fulfilling and stable way.

And she also understood who the rat shit Yin Wanyu was referring to was.

But Yin Wanyu continued to ask her, "So, A-Li, do you want to take in your little secret guard?"

Li Shu's heart skipped a beat. "How could Grandma..."

"How would I know, right? To be honest, there are more secret rooms and traps in my mansion than in the palace. Nothing that happens in the mansion escapes my eyes and ears."

"So, Grandmother knows about my conversation with Lin Yuan and Aunt Gui today?"

"Ah."

"..."

Li Shu was slightly disappointed.

She even thought Yin Wanyu knew Peacock Terrace very well.

Then she smiled faintly and said, "Grandmother, you don't know that Lin Yuan was trained as a secret guard specifically for me by an old friend of my mother. Because that old friend brainwashed him about me since he was a child, he only has me as his master in his heart and eyes, and he doesn't have any romantic feelings for me. In addition, although I have let go of Ning Jin, I no longer want to touch the realm of love. I may be alone for the rest of my life, but being alone doesn't mean wasting time. There are still many things that can enrich my life."

"I see." Yin Wanyu nodded. "You're right. We women don't necessarily need men in our lives. But A-Li, you can't close your heart because of that rotten apple Ning Jin. If you meet someone who makes your heart flutter in the future, there's no need to be afraid or timid."

"Ah."

Li Shu responded with ease, but when she thought about how she in the dream had died with no one to collect her body because she attached too much importance to love and family, she didn't dare to relax at all, and she could no longer like and trust anyone like before.

In the evening, Li Shu returned to Lianxinju.

As soon as she stepped into the room, a fluffy little creature ran towards her.

She was slightly surprised for a moment, then bent down and picked up the little guy. "Zizi, you're here too! Who came to pick you up?"

Of course the kitten couldn't answer her, it just rubbed against her affectionately and meowed non-stop.

That tender and soft voice made her heart melt and attracted all her attention.

It was a long time before she noticed Lin Yuan standing aside.

He hurriedly asked, "Did you go and get them?"

Lin Yuan nodded, "I acted on my own initiative."

"Nothing, it just so happens that I miss Zhizhi."

As Li Shu spoke, she carried Zhizhi to sit on the chaise longue.

Just as she was stroking Zhizi's fur, Lin Yuan stretched out his hand in front of her.

She looked up.

Suddenly, as if by magic, a small and exquisite cat appeared in Lin Yuan's empty palm.

Of course, it’s not alive, it’s a wood carving.

It's just so vivid that it looks like the real thing.

And you can tell at a glance that it is a snake.

As she reached out to take it, she asked with some admiration, "Did you make this?"

"Ah."

"You're so amazing, how come you know everything?"

"..."

Lin Yuan scratched his head with red ears.

He originally wanted to carve Miss.

But I am never satisfied with the result.

It was changed to "雕只只".

Fortunately, the lady likes it.

He waited for Li Shu to look over the wooden kitten over and over before saying, "Regarding Prince Cheng's inability to have children, the people I arranged to investigate, after reviewing all the files related to the royal family in our building, discovered that there was actually a hidden story behind Prince Cheng's death while shielding the current emperor from an arrow..."

Hearing this, Li Shu stopped stroking Zhizhi.

"The truth is, the assassin who accidentally killed Queen Cheng and then immediately committed suicide by poison was actually one of the current emperor's men, and he didn't kill her accidentally. After King Cheng's death, the current emperor promised Princess Cheng and her son that when Prince Cheng's eldest son was born, he would make Prince Cheng the King. However, after Prince Cheng got married, he took concubines one after another, and none of them suffered from any health problems, except that no one could get pregnant."

"..."

Li Shu knew that every emperor had countless corpses under his feet, but she had lived in the palace for several years, and the emperor in her eyes was completely different from those in history books.

However, everything that happened recently told her that the emperor she knew was only what the emperor wanted her to know, not the real emperor.

I'm afraid the emperor's true side is far more terrifying than the emperors she has seen in history books!

But why did Princess Chengjun tell her that as long as the current emperor was on the throne, it would be impossible for their Chengjun Mansion to have an heir?

Seeing her brows knitted unconsciously as she thought about it, Lin Yuan took out the brocade box containing the fertility medicine and presented it to her, "I have almost thoroughly studied this medicine."

Li Shu looked at the brocade box and calmed herself down before asking, "How is it?"

"The medicine is excellent and should indeed help people get pregnant. I wanted to make a few pills according to the recipe to test the effect, but I'm still missing a few herbs, so I'll have to wait a while."

"..."

Li Shu nodded, took the brocade box and put it aside.

I thought to myself that if the medicine really had miraculous effects and could be made, it would be able to sell for a good price in any shop.

Although she is not short of money.

But who would complain about having too much money?

*

Three days later.

Before dawn, Li Shu had to be woken up by Aunt Gui.

Because today is the day when Abbot Leyuan will come to the Grand Princess's Mansion to perform a ritual, the Queen and Fei'er will also be here.

For this reason, she specially asked Lin Yuan to send her some calming incense last night.

Then, while Nanny Gui was tying her hair and dressing her, she looked at her carefully and said, "Young lady, you are getting prettier day by day!"

Li Shu raised her eyebrows disapprovingly.

She felt that compared to before, the girl in the mirror just had a rounder face and looked more energetic.

But Nanny Gui continued, "Miss, you don't know that during the two years that my uncle was on the battlefield, you were constantly worried about his safety and the safety of General Li and his son. Even though I was diligently preparing meals for you, you still looked pale and thin. After my uncle and his men came back, they often quarreled over Xie Yu, and your complexion was even worse than before. Not to mention after your miscarriage. Now that you've relaxed, you've finally blossomed! You're even prettier than the general's wife was back then!"

Li Shu looked at herself in the mirror for a few more seconds, and was secretly recalling the appearance of her mother in her memory when someone hurried into her room.

She turned around and saw that it was Aunt Yaofang, and her heart skipped a beat.

Aunt Yaofang is so anxious, I’m afraid something big must have happened!

really.

Yaofang approached her and lowered her voice, saying, "News just came out from the palace saying that the Empress has been in a coma for two days!"
