After saying that, he let Lin Li lie on the bed and went out to clean the room alone.

Leaving Lin Li alone on the bed laughing, she tied her belt again. Who will be afraid of whom then, the woman thought to herself.

However, Lin Li had never experienced this in her previous life. This kind of experience was all from storybooks and she had never experienced it in actual combat. She still felt a little scared when she thought about it.

After Xie Yu came back, Lin Li didn't do anything out of the ordinary. She just lay in Xie Yu's arms and slept quietly, having a good dream all night.

Before daybreak, Lin Li heard a series of mournful sounds. She opened her eyes drowsily and saw Xie Yu getting dressed in the dark.

"Why don't you light a candle?" Lin Li sat on the bed and rubbed her eyes.

"Did I wake you up?" Xie Yu turned around, picked up his coat and asked Lin Li to put it on, fearing that she would catch a cold.

I didn't want to wake Lin Li up, so I planned to leave quietly, but I didn't expect to wake her up anyway.

"Go light a candle. It's pitch dark. How can you get dressed?"

The man went to light the candles. Lin Li put on her shoes, stood in front of Xie Yu, and tidied his clothes.

"If I hadn't woken up, would you have just left without letting me know?"

"Haven't we already said goodbye?" Xie Yu hugged Lin Li's waist, "It's okay to let you sleep a little longer."

"You're thinking about me."

Xie Yu reached out and lifted Lin Li's chin, found her red lips, and kissed her hard.

The two of them stayed in the room for a while, and when the time was up, Lin Li sent Xie Yu away.

Lin Li tried to hold back her tears until the man walked away. Then the tears began to flow. She stayed in his room for a long time before returning to her own room in the dark.

As spring goes and autumn comes, the leaves turn from green to yellow and fall to the ground. The trees become withered branches without a trace of vitality.

After the old emperor passed away, the country was leaderless, so Crown Prince Xie's younger brother Prince An and Crown Princess Xie's older sister the Princess jointly governed the country.

Prince An and the eldest princess often kept in touch with Xie Yu in private, and the troops they raised also went to the battlefield with Xie Yu.

The princes and nobles who supported Prince Xie all stood up one by one, and when Xie Yu returned triumphantly, they would recommend him to succeed the throne.

The old emperor had no children, and all his concubines were dismissed and expelled from the palace. Their descendants were never allowed to serve in the palace.

Some concubines who deeply loved the old emperor followed him.

Lin Li was still asleep when she was awakened by the sound of knocking on the door. "What's wrong?"

"Miss, the young mistress is about to give birth, and the eldest mistress wants you to come over." Zhou Yue said outside the door.

The woman hid under the quilt, unwilling to come out, but she stuck her head out and spoke, "Come in."

Ever since her elder brother went off to join the army, Lin Li would occasionally visit Meng Ranyue, but she would just talk to her.

Meng Ranxue is with Meng Ranyue most of the time. Lin Li is unwilling to talk to Meng Ranxue. After all, they are love rivals, and the two of them are tit-for-tat.

Meng Ranxue also looked down on Lin Li, and the two of them didn't get along.

Lin Li herself couldn't figure out why she had inexplicable conflicts with the two young ladies of the Meng Mansion, and why they were the kind that couldn't be resolved. In the end, it was all related to that man Xie Yu.

There were very few letters Xie Yu sent home. It had been almost a year, and there were only two or three letters. But Lin Li was still happy, because at least she had received news from him and knew about his situation, instead of having no news at all.

No one knew how long it would take for the rebels to surrender and for them to return.

Lin Wei rushed to the battlefield. Meng Ranyue was pregnant and worried all day long. The fetus was also unstable.

It was still noisy outside, and Lin Li had nothing to do in the mansion. She went to school every day, and spent the rest of the time in her room.

Zhou Yue pushed the door open and Lin Li felt a gust of cold wind and huddled into the quilt. Although it was already spring, the snow on the roof had not completely thawed yet.

Wearing a thick coat and holding a hot water bottle, the maid in front held a lantern to light the way. Zhou Yue and Yuzhu supported Lin Li on the left and right. The road was slippery due to the snow on the ground.

"Zhou Yue, you also have some medical skills, why don't you go and serve?"

Meng Ranyue is now the most distinguished person in the Lin family, and she is pregnant with the offspring of the Lin family.

The eldest lady had already sent a large group of experienced maids and old women to serve on the side, just in case.

"Miss, with my mediocre skills, no one dares to use me."

Lin Li yawned sleepily. "I didn't say that you must be useful. I just said that you can learn from serving by my side."

"Rather than staying there, I would rather stay with the young lady."

Everyone in the mansion knew that the young lady and the young lady were not on good terms with each other, and Zhou Yue was not a fence-sitter. She was only loyal to Lin Li.

"You are so sweet-talking. You should be my second brother's apprentice now. When the situation outside is pacified, I will pay for you to open a clinic. How about that?"

She didn't know what the outside world was like. Lin Li hadn't been out for fun for a long time and missed the outside world very much.
