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

Bamboo Garden.

It was only three quarters past midnight when Li Shu woke up.

She went to bed early last night and had no dreams at all. She slept very soundly, so when she woke up, she felt refreshed and felt very good.

Nanny Gui led Qinghong Cuiwei inside and helped her wash and change clothes. As she began to eat breakfast, she quietly reported, "The main courtyard sent someone over half an hour ago, saying that the princess wanted the young lady to come over."

Li Shu was eating the emerald shrimp dumplings made for her by Aunt Gui, and she only raised her eyebrows nonchalantly when she heard the words.

Nanny Gui's cooking skills were taught by their mother, and the food she prepared was as delicious as those made by the imperial chefs in the palace.

During the period when her mother had just passed away, whenever she missed her mother so much that she hid and cried secretly, Aunt Gui would make her mother's signature snacks to comfort her.

And she can always be coaxed.

Because the snacks made by Aunt Gui taste exactly the same as those made by my mother.

No matter how sad she was or how much she cried, she could be quickly comforted by the familiar smell.

But now she is no longer the same girl she was when she was a child, and it is not so easy to coax her.

But she still forced herself to eat four emerald shrimp dumplings in a row out of respect for Aunt Gui, and drank half a bowl of porridge. Then, after smiling at Aunt Gui, she lowered her voice and asked, "Aunt, do you feel that my mother seemed to have known when she would die?"

Aunt Gui was stunned by her sudden question.

After coming to his senses, he immediately looked around.

Seeing that Qinghong Cuiwei was concentrating on cleaning and tidying up the inner room and didn't seem to hear the young lady's question, she felt relieved and nodded, saying, "To be honest, young lady, when I went to the Peacock Terrace to see Kong Sanniang, I learned from her that the general's wife gave her the pair of peacock earrings fifteen years ago and asked her to protect the young lady. I felt that the general's wife was making arrangements for her affairs after her death in advance..."

Having said that, Aunt Gui deliberately glanced at Li Shu.

Seeing that Li Shu's expression hadn't changed at all, she continued, "I wonder if you still remember, young lady, that when the general's wife passed away, the general summoned almost the entire Imperial Hospital to the mansion to confirm the cause of her sudden death. All the doctors claimed that she had no symptoms and that her heart had suddenly stopped beating. They believed it was an extremely rare, sudden, acute heart attack. If that were true, then the general's wife couldn't have known in advance when she would die."

Li Shu nodded, then shook her head slowly.

Nodding meant she agreed with Aunt Gui's last words.

She shook her head because she almost couldn't remember what the imperial doctors had said back then.

After all, she was too young back then.

So after her mother passed away, when she learned for the first time that her mother had spent a lot of time teaching Aunt Gui cooking and had personally urged Aunt Gui to practice her cooking skills until they were almost the same as hers, she felt that her mother really loved her and understood her very well. She knew that she would cry all day after she left, so she started teaching Aunt Gui cooking so early.

But she is no longer a child now. After experiencing such an incredible thing as dreaming about her future, and thinking about the fact that her mother started teaching Aunt Gui cooking a year or two in advance, she inexplicably felt that her mother might have predicted when she would die!

That's why she couldn't help but ask Aunt Gui.

She felt that Aunt Gui must understand her mother better than she did when she was still young.

If Aunt Gui felt the same way as she did, then it was very likely that it was true.

Then she heard Aunt Gui say, "Although there is no basis for this, I feel that Kong Sanniang might know everything. When she returns from seeking medical treatment, you might as well ask her."

Li Shu nodded.

Nanny Gui then asked, "Miss, do you want to go to the main courtyard?"

"When did Ning Jin leave last night?"

"I heard that the uncle left around the time the roosters started crowing."

"Then Xu Daijun asked me to come over because I turned Ning Jin away all night. I guess she wanted to give me a cold shoulder too."

"Then Miss, please don't go! Your current health cannot stand being punished by standing in the cold wind, or even being punished by being made to kneel!"

"..."

Li Shu smiled disapprovingly, stood up and walked back to the inner room, saying, "Mammy, go and help me boil the last dose of medicine."

Upon hearing this, Qinghong Cuiwei, who was busy, immediately stopped what they were doing.

Aunt Gui trotted over to Li Shu and asked, "Young lady, do you want to drink the medicine for the last time before going to the main courtyard?"

Li Shu nodded.

Nanny Gui was instantly anxious. "Miss, are you trying to keep the baby in the main courtyard? But what if Miss takes that last dose of medicine and immediately starts having a seizure? It's so cold, the slightest mistake could leave her with a lifelong illness!"

"It shouldn't happen immediately..."

Li Shu was not very sure about this.

But in her dream, Xie Yu framed her with the unborn child of one of Ning Jin's concubines.

At that time, the concubine stayed by her side in the dream for nearly an hour before she became violent...

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's voice suddenly rang out, "Miss, after taking the last dose of medicine, the attack will occur in about half an hour."

"Half an hour..." Li Shu thought for a moment and asked him, "Did the letter I wrote to you last night reach the Grand Princess's residence?"

"Well, I was hiding in the dark and saw with my own eyes that the Grand Princess had finished reading the letter before leaving. Before I left, I heard the Grand Princess telling those around her that she would be coming to the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion early this morning."

"Then go to the Grand Princess's residence and investigate the situation. When the Grand Princess's carriage leaves, come back and tell me. I will then set off for the main courtyard."

"Yes."

After Lin Yuan left, Li Shu turned to Aunt Gui, who was looking worried, and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Gui. I know my limits and I won't suffer any loss."

Her tone was very firm, and the worry on Aunt Gui's face faded a little, but the worry in her heart did not diminish at all.

She could vaguely guess the purpose of the young lady sending the letter to the Grand Princess.

But there is not much connection between the young lady and the Grand Princess, and it is not certain that the Grand Princess will protect the young lady even if she comes!

When Lin Yuan came back, Aunt Gui not only prepared the medicine for Li Shu, but also found a pair of knee pads from somewhere and insisted on giving them to Li Shu.

Li Shu couldn't persuade her and could only let her go.

After Li Shu finished drinking the last bowl of medicine under the gaze of Aunt Gui's red eyes filled with heartache, Aunt Gui stuffed a hot water bottle into her hand like a magic trick.

She smiled and said sincerely, "Thank you, Mama," then she took the hot water bottle and led Qinghong Cuiwei, Jingzhe and eight other people to the main courtyard in a very grand manner.

Nanny Xiang had been waiting outside Xu Daijun's room for a long time.

Facing the momentum coming from Li Shu, she had a hunch that her princess would suffer a setback for the first time in her life.

But after Li Shu and her group approached, she still bowed to Li Shu and said, "The Crown Prince's wife is very smart. I think she already knows why the princess called you here. The princess was worried that the Crown Prince would catch a cold, so she stayed up all night. She finally fell asleep after sending him out of the mansion this morning. Before she went to bed, she told the old servant to have the Crown Prince's wife kneel in front of her door and reflect on her mistakes before she woke up."
