Quiet and elegant, with green bamboos lingering.

Sun Youwei's boudoir in the backyard also continues the design style of the front yard. There is a small bridge, flowing water, bamboo, orchid and chrysanthemum complementing each other, which is a refreshing sight.

"Sister Su, you are here."

As soon as Su Xuqing entered the backyard, she saw Sun Youwei coming towards her in hurried but decent steps.

Sun Youwei was not wearing any makeup today. There was a hint of fatigue between her fair cheeks and haggard eyes. Her long hair, like a waterfall, was casually tied up in her hair with a hairpin, which made people feel pity for her.

"Why are you so tired? Maybe you didn't sleep well last night."

Sun Youwei nodded, then looked at the maid, "You all go down, I want to talk to the Crown Prince's Consort alone."

After the maids left, Sun Youwei sighed softly.

"To be honest with you, Sister Su, I had palpitations last night, had many dreams and woke up frequently, and then I couldn't fall asleep at all."

Su Xuqing understood Sun Youwei's situation very well. After all, after what happened yesterday, anyone would feel anxious.

"It doesn't matter."

Su Xuqing smiled lightly, "I know a little bit about the art of medicine, and I will prescribe you a prescription for calming your mind."

After hearing this, Sun Youwei smiled.

"Sister Su, you are too modest. If your medical skills are only considered as a little bit knowledgeable, then there are many doctors in the capital who will be ashamed."

Su Xuqing had no way to explain this, because she had been studying medicine in depth, which she had only started in recent months. To be fair, she did know a little about it, but it was only because of the Shennong Materia Medica that she was able to cure diseases like wolfsbane.

"Miss Sun, please stop teasing me. Do you have any paper and pen in your room?"

"Of course there is, please, Sister Su."

Sun Youwei led Su Xuqing into her boudoir. As soon as they entered the room, they smelled a faint fragrance. Su Xuqing looked up and saw a copper incense burner in the middle of the room. No one knew what kind of incense was burning in it, which made people feel peaceful.

"The incense burning in this stove is imported and it has no effect after I smelled it all night. It turns out that things from other countries are not necessarily good things."

Sun Youwei complained, then walked to the desk in small steps and spread out paper and pen.

Su Xuqing took a quick look at Sun Youwei's boudoir. There were many calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls of the room. Even though the room was filled with soothing incense, she could vaguely smell the scent of ink.

The large bookshelf behind the desk is filled with all kinds of books. There are many books with bookmarks on the tables, chairs, and even on the bedside in the room. It can be seen that Sun Youwei really reads in her spare time.

Su Xuqing couldn't help but think, maybe this is what a lady from a scholarly family should be like. Thinking back to when she was a child, if her teacher hadn't forced her into accepting some principles from books, she would have been no different from a country bumpkin.

Su Xuqing picked up a pen and wrote a prescription for calming the mind. Sun Youwei called a servant to get the medicine for her, and then took Su Xuqing to visit the Taifu Mansion.

The scenery in the Taifu Mansion was pleasant. Su Xuqing had not had time to take a closer look just now, but now that her grandson was with her, she began to look at it carefully.

Passing by the goldfish pond with a small bridge and flowing water, Su Xuqing suddenly said, "Miss Sun, I came to visit you unexpectedly today. Shouldn't I pay my respects to your father? Otherwise, if he knew that I, the Crown Prince's Consort of the Zhennan Palace, came to visit but didn't meet him, the head of the family, wouldn't that be impolite?"

Hearing this, Sun Youwei looked helpless.

"If it were any other day, I would definitely bring Sister Su to see him, but my father has caught a cold these past two days and has been staying in his room to rest. The doctor came to see him yesterday and said that he needs to rest and not see visitors."

Wind chill?

Su Xuqing was stunned, frowning.

Seeing Su Xuqing's suspicious look, Sun Youwei couldn't help but ask.

"Sister Su, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Su Xuqing shook her head. "It's just that the old princess also caught a cold a few days ago. I just felt it was a bit strange. It's just the beginning of autumn and the weather is still hot. How could she catch a cold out of nowhere?"

Sun Youwei didn't understand this either. She groaned for a moment and guessed, "It's because the seasons are changing, so people are more likely to get sick. Just like when I was a kid, I would get a lot of itchy bumps on my body every time spring and autumn came."

"Yeah, it was probably just a coincidence."

After all, colds are not serious illnesses. It is normal for people with weak constitutions to catch them several times a year, so Su Xuqing didn't take it too seriously.

As the two were walking along the cobblestone path in the backyard, a maid in a green dress came over.

Sun Youwei paused, smiled and asked.

"Peony, you are in such a hurry, what are you going to do?"

Shaoyao smiled happily and said, "Miss, I guess it's because Master Taifu took the medicine and got better. He suddenly has an appetite and wants to eat Xu Fuji's snacks."

After hearing this, Sun Youwei smiled even more.

"Father has a good appetite now, which means he will soon recover. Go buy it for him."

Shaoyao responded, walked around the two of them and went out.

Su Xuqing and Sun Youwei walked into the back garden. There was a pavilion in the center of the garden, surrounded by various flowers on all sides.

The two women took their seats one after another, adding a bit of color to the garden that was already full of flowers.

Seeing that no one was around, Su Xuqing lowered her voice and said, "Early this morning, Pavilion Master Liang sent someone to deliver a message saying that he had ordered people to secretly monitor Sudan last night, but found that he did not return home. After several twists and turns, they found that this person was actually living in the patrol camp."

When Sun Youwei heard this person's name, she couldn't help but pinch her fair skin with her bare hands, and the blue veins were faintly moving.

"Maybe he guessed that we might attack him, so he hid in advance."

"That's what I think." Su Xuqing rubbed her small chin with her hand and said thoughtfully, "I guess he won't have the courage to come to you in the short term, but you can't delay this matter and need to solve it as soon as possible, so we have to find a way to dispel his vigilance."

"This……"

Sun Youwei is good at writing articles and painting, but when it comes to such intrigues, her mind is really confused.

"Sister Su, what should I do? Please teach me."

"At this moment, the Sultan must be paying attention to your movements. If you act the same as usual, he will be suspicious. But if you stay indoors out of fear, he will be relieved." Su Xuqing thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you put on a good show tomorrow..."

So, so, so, so.

Su Xuqing whispered in Sun Youwei's ear, and Sun Youwei's eyes lit up.
