The daily life of a cold and aloof general raising his wife

After that, no official in Northern Qi dared to disrespect Li Shu again.

After a few days of peace, someone delivered a letter to Li Shu.

After Li Shu read the words clearly, the letter in her hand fell to the ground. When Xiang Lian saw this, she looked up and saw that Li Shu was already in tears.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

"Xianglian, prepare the horse, I'm leaving the palace!"

After saying that, Li Shu repeated, "I don't want a carriage, I want a horse!"

"Yes."

Xianglian quickly ordered people to prepare horses, and then she returned to Li Shu's side.

Xianglian asked worriedly, "What exactly happened to Your Majesty?"

"Quickly find me some men's clothing." After saying that, Li Shu went to the inner hall to take off her clothes.

Xianglian stopped her, "Your Majesty, I'm worried about you going out if you don't tell me what happened."

Li Shu looked at Xiang Lian and said, "Yan Jingrong is in trouble..."

Xianglian was also startled. "What happened to Prince Yan?"

Li Shu cried and said, "The letter said he encountered bandits and was seriously injured."

Xianglian didn't stop for a moment to change Li Shu's clothes.

As the two women hurriedly tried to leave, they bumped into Zheng Congying, who was coming in.

Seeing the mistress and servant walking out anxiously, Zheng Congying quickly asked, "Where are you going?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Shu said, "Leave the palace!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Congying quickly pulled her aside.

"Are you joking?"

Li Shu shook him off, "I'm not joking, I'm leaving the palace."

Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Zheng Congying said seriously, "Don't panic, tell me what happened?"

Li Shu looked at him and said, "Yan Jingrong is in trouble, I need to go find him!"

When Zheng Congying found out, she advised, "My lady, I came to see you about this matter as well. Please listen to me first."

Li Shu excitedly grabbed his arm, looking at him expectantly, "Is Yan Jingrong alright?"

Zheng Congying looked into her expectant eyes, but the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat.

Li Shu said anxiously, "Tell me quickly!"

"Prince Yan had been tracking Chen Hu's whereabouts. Yesterday, he finally found him. Chen Hu had many men with him, while Prince Yan only had a dozen or so. In the end, Prince Yan cut off Chen Hu's head, but he..."

In the end, Zheng Congying dared not say any more.

"What's up with him?"

Zheng Congying knew she might not be able to bear what he was about to say, but he could only grit his teeth and say, "He was seriously injured and was knocked off a cliff by Chen Hu's men; his body was never found..."

Li Shu fainted after hearing this.

Zheng Congying saw this and immediately helped her up. When she fainted, he picked her up and carried her into the inner room.

"Quickly, go and summon the imperial physician!" Lianxiang hurriedly ordered.

Zheng Congying put Li Shu on the bed, and felt a little sorry for her when she saw her pale face.

Seeing this, Xianglian said, "General Zheng, please let me do it."

Zheng Congying realized he had been impolite, so he quickly stood up and moved aside.

"Take good care of the Lady."

Zheng Congying left after she finished speaking.

After leaving the house, Zheng Congying stopped and took a few deep breaths, trying to suppress her restless heart.

what happened to him?

Why was he so engrossed in looking at Li Shu just now?

Could it be that I've fallen for her?

Zheng Congying was startled by her own thought.

The imperial physician arrived soon.

When the imperial physician saw Zheng Congying, he was about to bow when Zheng Congying pulled him into the hall.

The imperial physician was forced to hurry behind him.

After taking her pulse and treating her, the imperial physician said, "The lady fainted because she was too tired recently and was also stimulated. There is nothing seriously wrong with her."

Zheng Congying breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that she was alright.

He left Li Shu's bedchamber with the imperial physician.

Zheng Congying is an outsider, and Li Shu is not yet married. His presence here might damage Li Shu's reputation.

Recalling Li Shu's heartbroken appearance just now, Zheng Congying guessed a few things.

He had just realized his own feelings when he discovered that the person he loved already had someone else she liked.

Zheng Congying felt a sense of frustration she had never experienced before.

He returned to the Duke of Zheng's mansion looking utterly dejected.

When Zheng Qingshan saw him like this, he called out to him a few times, but he seemed not to hear him and kept walking forward.

"What's wrong with the young master?" the steward of the Duke of Zheng's mansion asked, puzzled.

You know, his young master has been active since he was a child and loves to practice martial arts. He is always passionate and has never been like this before.

Zheng Qingshan guessed a bit and remarked with emotion, "Congying has grown up."

The butler listened from the side, completely bewildered. How did they grow up so fast?

Zheng Qingshan had been watching Zheng Congying's every move closely during this time, hoping that his nephew would be luckier than himself.

Zheng Qingshan never married, nor did he take any concubines. In his early years, rumors circulated in Northern Qi that he was gay and that he was in love with the guards around him. However, as those guards got married and had children, the rumors were dispelled.

Those familiar with Zheng Qingshan know that there is someone in his heart, and that person has never changed in his heart for more than forty years.

After Li Shu woke up, she had to face reality: Yan Jingrong was really gone.

She was in a daze all day long and missed the morning court for half a month, which led to a lot of rumors among the officials.

Daqing

The capital has been bustling with activity these past few days, as Li Ning, the daughter of Prince An, is getting married.

Li Ning's wedding day was incredibly grand; the last time such a spectacle was for Jiang Shuwan was.

Li Ning married into the Duke of Ying's household and became the wife of the Duke of Ying's heir.

Jiang Shuwan received the invitation from the Duke of England's residence, but since she was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to attend, she only sent a gift and did not go to the residence.

Feiyun returned from outside and chattered to Jiang Shuwan, "It's so lively outside, Madam! People from the Prince An's mansion are throwing money along the road, and the crowds are layered on top of each other. There was even a stampede because of the money grabbing."

Fortunately, the British government reacted quickly, otherwise their entire wedding procession would have had to stop.

Jiang Shuwan knew without a doubt that Li Ning wanted to outshine her at her wedding.

Feiyun nodded.

"However, the heir of the Duke of Ying's mansion is too mysterious. He has been back in the capital for almost a year, but I have never seen him once. This time, I have finally met him."

Feiyun asked curiously, "Madam, have you never met the heir of the Duke of Ying's mansion?"

I only saw it when I was a child.

Jiang Shuwan and he were indeed not familiar with each other.

"Madam, I caught a glimpse of him from afar, and the heir of the Duke of Ying's mansion is so handsome and elegant."

Feiyun didn't go over to join the fun; she just glanced at it from afar.

Jiang Shuwan laughed and said, "Really? I didn't expect you to be such a little fangirl."

Feiyun chuckled, "Everyone has a love for beauty."

The day after Li Ningcheng's marriage, Du Siyu came to the general's mansion with her two children.

Du Siyu was afraid of Lin Ruoqing. She would definitely take the child with her whenever she went out.

"Cousin, you didn't see it yesterday, but Princess Changqing's wedding was really lively."

Du Siyu spoke with eyes full of envy; who wouldn't want to have a grand wedding?

"And Lu Zhiheng, the heir of the Duke of Ying, is extremely handsome. I think he is the most good-looking man in the capital."

Seeing her appearance, Jiang Shuwan's lips twitched a few times, and then she said, "Wipe your drool."
