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

Li Shu smiled at her, stood up and stepped out of the warm sedan chair. She then calmly observed her face and said, "Look at me today. I look better than before the miscarriage. Besides, I'm wearing warm clothes and I have a hot water bottle in my hand. I won't be cold in such a short time."

"That's not just a moment! I roughly estimated that Sister Ali must have been gone for at least two quarters of an hour, right? But Sister Ali, you do look much better today than the two times we met before. It's obvious that Aunt Gui and Qinghong Cuiwei have taken such good care of you. I'll have to reward them later!"

"Indeed, even those who are in confinement after childbirth don't take as good care of themselves as I have these past few days. They were so busy while I was out today, worried that I would catch a cold and develop some underlying illness. They do deserve a reward, but it's not your turn, Fei'er. This is my job as their master."

"What's the difference between you and me between us? Is it because I'm getting married soon that Sister Ali is going to be estranged from me?"

"That's not the case. But speaking of your upcoming marriage, haven't you been overworked lately? I see you look obviously tired even with your makeup on."

"..."

Yin Feier was silent for a moment, then took Li Shu's hand and said, "It's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."

After entering Fengyi Palace, Yin Feier asked casually, "Why did Sister A-li suddenly come to the palace today?"

"Today, I watched a play at the Peacock Terrace at the invitation of the Grand Princess. On my way back, I suddenly felt like coming into the palace to see you and pay my respects to the Empress. So, I didn't even bother to send a message and just came straight here."

"...The Imperial Aunt invited you to the Peacock Terrace today to tell you that she wants to adopt you as her granddaughter, right?"

"Well, I was just about to tell you about this, but I didn't expect you already knew about it."

"To be honest, my mother, my father, and I were probably the first to know about it. This is because after the imperial aunt visited you at the Dingbei Marquis's residence, she came to the palace and told my father about the incident. My mother and I were also present at the time..."

At the end of the words, Yin Feier's heart sank when she recalled what her father said that day.

A few days ago, whenever she had the chance, she would ask her mother if she knew why her father did not allow Sister A-Li to divorce Ning Jin, but her mother said she was not very clear about it and told her not to pester her father about it.

But after the news of Ning Jin and Xie Yu having physical contact spread to the palace, she couldn't help but run to ask her father.

But her father actually told her that even for a princess like her, her husband would have three wives and four concubines. How could her sister Ali not accept that her husband had other women!

At that time, she refused, saying that her husband would be the king of a country in the future, which was different from Ning Jin. Moreover, before Ning Jin married Sister Ali, he had promised Sister Ali that he would only have Sister Ali in his life. Now, he not only betrayed his promise to Sister Ali, but also committed the crime of deceiving the king!

However, my father just said lightly that Ning Jin had no intention of taking a concubine, and he would never allow Ning Jin to take a concubine...

Thinking of this, and recalling the look her father gave her when she cried and said, "Father, you have changed. You were not like this before. You don't even love Sister Ali anymore," her heart sank again.

At that moment, she not only felt that her father had never loved Sister Ali, but also had never truly loved her!

But she was the most favored among the princesses under her father's lap, so she could only tell herself that it was just her illusion. Her father must also love Sister Ali, but she had reasons not to let Sister Ali divorce Ning Jin!

"Mayfair?"

When Li Shu called out with a mixture of worry and inquiry, Yin Feier quickly composed herself and said, "To be honest, Sister A-Li, I've been feeling a bit tired lately. It's not because of the increasing number of chores as my marriage date approaches, but because something's been amiss with Mother lately."

Yin Feier spoke the last sentence in an extremely low voice.

Li Shu stopped on the spot.

Something is wrong with the Queen?

For some reason, she almost immediately recalled the first time she saw the Queen in her dream. Her first impression was that the Queen was so strange that she seemed like a completely different person...

But when she later thought carefully about what she had seen and heard in her dream, she thought it was because the Queen also thought she was wicked, was completely disappointed in her, and no longer liked her...

Then she heard Yin Feier say, "My mother is sleeping now. Sister A-li, please go to my bedroom first. I want to have a good talk with her. If I don't talk about those things with others, I will feel sick!"

"Ah."

Li Shu nodded and slightly quickened her pace.

Later, in Yin Feier's bedroom, Yin Feier ordered people to serve tea and snacks, and then sent her and Li Shu's people away.

Then she grabbed Li Shu's hand and sorted out her thoughts for a long time before she spoke: "Sister Ali may not know yet, but the reason why Aunt Lanruo went to the Dingbei Marquis Mansion to take me back to the palace that day was because my mother suddenly fainted..."

"What? The Queen fainted that day?" Li Shu's face changed.

"Yes! But don't worry, Sister Ali. Mother is in good health. The doctors all said she was just overworked."

"..."

Li Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

The Queen must have been very reluctant to let Fei'er marry far away, and she would definitely want to prepare the best dowry for Fei'er, so she must have worked too hard.

But she heard Yin Feier say, "Sister Ali, you know I've been very careless since I was a child. Before my mother fainted, I didn't even notice whether she was overworked. Even after the imperial doctors said she was fine, I was so careless that I didn't even think about observing her more closely to make sure she wouldn't faint from overwork again. But when I sent my aunt off, she told me to spend more time with her and observe her more..."

At the end of the words, Yin Feier's voice was tinged with self-blame and sobs.

Li Shu said hurriedly, "The Grand Princess has decades more experience than us, so she's naturally more thorough than us."

Yin Feier sniffed and nodded, continuing, "Then I tried to stick close to Mother every day, observing her quietly and silently. I discovered that she wasn't as energetic as before. She had to take a nap from time to time to relieve her fatigue, and she would occasionally look worried and lost in thought. But these weren't the most important things! The most important thing is..."

When Li Shu heard this, her heart was already in her throat, but suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Then came Lian Xia's voice, "Princess, the Empress has woken up, and the Emperor has also arrived. The Emperor heard that Prince Ning's wife had entered the palace, so he sent someone to invite Prince Ning's wife and the princess to go to the Empress's bedroom."
