The auspiciousness descended from the sky, and the sweet treasure from the farmer was fed by the who

There were a few words written on it, in very delicate small regular script like a plum blossom.

Don’t worry, be safe.

"What does this mean?" Zhiya was confused.

Tianbao quickly looked at the signature, which consisted of only one word: Liao.

Liao? She remembered that the last queen's surname was Liao.

Moreover, the late queen had no relatives or clansmen, she was an orphan. Why did she appear here and write this to me? Did she want to convey a message to the emperor through me?

But why didn't she give it to her herself.

Thinking of this, Tianbao quickly went back into the shop.

"What guy? Or a woman?" The shop clerk was confused.

"Is your shop having any promotion today?" Tianbao asked again.

"No," the guy replied.

Tianbao nodded, turned around and walked out, looking at the box in his hand. He had to send it back to the capital as soon as possible.

In November, Liu Yanzhi fell ill. It was originally a minor illness, and Tianbao prescribed medicine for him. However, his illness became more and more serious. Tianbao then discovered that he did not take the medicine.

"Dad, why don't you drink?" Liu Shan was very angry.

"What are you drinking? I've been wanting to find your mother for a long time. She must be very anxious over there alone. What if she gets bullied by someone without me?"

Liu Yanzhi looked at his children, grandchildren and granddaughters beside the bed and said, "Don't be sad. I'm going to find your mother, your grandmother and your grandma. I'm very happy."

Liu Yanzhi went there on the third day of the twelfth lunar month, and Li Shubai and others all went to attend the funeral.

After Liu Yanzhi's funeral, Liu urged Li Shubai and others to leave.

It took so long to get back, and it took almost a month on the road.

The same goes for Li Zhanyu, Li Dachen and others, after all, they are so far away from home.

"Grandma, why don't you let Qingran stay for a while..."

"Okay, Qingran, why should you stay here? I'm with your grandma. You just need to take care of yourself in the capital." Qian Xiaoxiao waved her hand.

"Zhanyu." Tianbao looked at Li Zhanyu with a smile, and Li Xiaoning looked at him and laughed.

"What's with that expression on your face?"

"We heard...you have a very good relationship with Miss Wu. They even sent people to express condolences when my great-grandfather passed away..." Li Xiaoning said while looking at him with a smile.

Li Zhanyu coughed and asked, "Did Xuan Lei say that?"

"Don't worry about who said it, you and Miss Wu..." Tianbao asked.

"It hasn't come to that. The Wu family admires me very much." Li Zhanyu smiled brightly.

"Aunt." Li Shubai walked over.

"Shubai, did the emperor send you to investigate the matter of the late queen?" Tianbao asked.

Li Shubai nodded and said, "The emperor said that the handwriting was that of the late queen, Empress Liao, and the appearance you described was also that of Empress Liao.

I'm just curious, after 18 years...Empress Liao hasn't aged at all?"

Li Xiaoning's eyes lit up. "Maybe she had some kind of adventure, or became immortal or something, so she didn't go back to see her son and grandson?"

"You have a wild imagination, this is impossible, right?" Li Zhanyu shook his head.

"I plan to go to the provincial capital to investigate tomorrow, and then go directly to the capital from the provincial capital." Li Shubai continued.

"You probably won't be able to find out anything. That woman is very strange. I can't tell her past or future from her body or face. It's as if... she doesn't exist in this time and space."

Tianbao was confused when she first saw the woman, and the person she couldn't see clearly.

The woman's face was blurry, she couldn't see clearly and couldn't guess who she was.

Therefore, Li Shubai would definitely find nothing if he went to investigate, because Empress Liao would not let them find out.

"Then let's go and take a look. It will be considered as completing the task." Li Shubai sighed.

Three days later, Li Shubai, Li Zhanyu and Li Dachen left one after another.

The house suddenly became deserted again.

In March after the Chinese New Year, Liu Meihua and Li Yin will take Li Xiaoning to the capital, and her marriage with Xue Kan will be scheduled for May.

"Tianbao, do you have any plans?" asked Liu.

"I'll go with my second sister-in-law and the others. I will definitely be there when Xiao Ning gets married. I'll come back after the wedding and stay with you all the time."

Liu held her hand and said, "That's not what I'm asking. You'll be fourteen after the Chinese New Year, not young anymore... Have you ever thought about..."

"I haven't thought about it. I don't want to get married. I think I shouldn't get married. It's good to be alone.

Don't worry about me, mother. Do you think your daughter will not be happy if she doesn't get married?"

Tianbao asked back.

Liu smiled and patted her hands. "Whatever you choose, I will support you."

"Okay, thank you, Mom." Tianbao leaned on her legs, and Liu still stroked Tianbao's back like she did when he was a child.

Capital

Li Xiaoning's wedding banquet was very grand. Not only did Liu Meihua give her a lot of dowry, Qian Xiaoxiao also gave her a lot, including a lot of shops, farms and land.

Not to mention Tianbao, she gave half of her fortune to Li Xiaoning.

"I don't want my aunt." Li Xiaoning hugged Tianbao tightly. She felt that she would not see her aunt often after she got married.

She is different from everyone else, as if she doesn't belong here.

It always feels like she will leave at any moment.

"You must accept what I give you, otherwise your aunt will be angry." Tianbao rubbed Li Xiaoning's head.

"Aunt...you promised me...you would come to see me often. I will go back after I get married. I will be in our Xiaopo Village. Don't think about getting rid of me."

"Okay, okay, okay... okay, okay..."

Li Xiaoning was so happy when she returned home on Sanchao Day. She held Tianbao's hand and said that they would go back together.

"Are you going back too? The Xue family won't say anything?" Liu Meihua asked.

"I won't tell you. They agreed and told me and Kan Shang to rest assured at home. They can rest assured following my aunt." Li Xiaoning said.

Xue Yueniang smiled and said, "My mother told my eldest sister-in-law that if they want to go back, they can go back and stay for a while."

Xue Yue Niang was already pregnant and was about to give birth, so Tian Bao and the others did not leave immediately, but waited until Xue Yue Niang gave birth before leaving.

Otherwise, I would be worried about leaving Wen Qingran alone.

"Miss, Prince Lin is here." Zhiya came in to report.

Xue Junan took Tianbao for a boat trip on the lake. They sat in the boat and Xue Junan thought for a long time before speaking.

"Tianbao, have you ever thought about getting married?"

Tianbao didn't expect him to ask this, so he shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it."

"If... I mean if... you want to find someone to break free from the shackles of the world, I can be that person. I am willing to act with you. I am willing to be that person..."

"I never thought about getting married, really. In fact, I have seen a lot, encountered a lot, and experienced a lot along the way. It is good to be alone. I don't need to get rid of the shackles of the world.

Because I don’t care about these things, and they will not become my shackles or fetters. "

Xue Junan smiled bitterly, "Yes, you are always so...calm."

After Tianbao and Xue Junan separated, they went straight back to Li's Mansion. Xue Jue was standing at the door waiting for her.

"County Lady, the fifth prince has been waiting here for the whole afternoon." Amu said.

Tianbao looked at him and said, "Xiaowu, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Tianbao, I may succeed to the throne in a few months, and my father will abdicate to me."
