If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Shen Sui'an was taken to a side hall of the Yangxin Palace.

Seeing Concubine Yao sitting there, she was not surprised at all.

Although she had not seen the emperor, from the recent increase in the number of guards in the capital, she could more or less guess that the emperor's health was failing.

"Should I call you Princess or Princess?" Concubine Yao looked at Shen Sui'an with a smile.

Shen Sui'an saluted calmly, "It's just a name, it's the same."

"That's different." Concubine Yao said lightly, but did not explain how it was different.

She looked at Shen Sui'an, who was more calm and composed than two years ago. The first time he summoned her was just to pave the way for Guangning in the Duke's Mansion. However, in just two years, she lost her daughter.

On the contrary, Shen Sui'an, who used to only beg for mercy in front of her, has now transformed into a princess of a neighboring country.

Fate was kind to her, but it was not merciful to Guangning.

"Are you pregnant?" Concubine Yao's eyes darkened slightly when she saw Shen Suian's slightly pregnant belly.

Shen Sui'an knew he couldn't hide it, so he knelt down and bowed in response.

"Can Lu Yuan still have children?" Concubine Yao raised her eyebrows. She had checked it out before and found out that Bai had given Lu Yuan a drug that would make him sterile.

Could it be that Shen Suian took advantage of Lu Yuan's absence to have an affair?

If this is true, would Lu Yuan still be willing to take Shen Sui'an to the Southern Dynasty?

Shen Sui'an smiled faintly and replied softly, "Your Majesty, Doctor Zhou has already detoxified Lu Yuan."

"Doctor Zhou has such ability?" Concubine Yao was surprised. If Doctor Zhou had treated Guangning at that time, would Guangning not have been left with hidden dangers?

"Doctor Zhou's medical skills have always been highly respected by the people," said Shen Sui'an.

Concubine Yao said, "I summoned you to the palace today because of another matter. Marquis Jingning came to the palace to ask the emperor to make the decision. He wants you to release his son. Princess Le'an, why are you still hiding Marquis Jingning's son?"

Shen Sui'an cursed He Hongkui in his heart for being so shameless.

Since he couldn't get Sister Cheng's whereabouts from her, he actually went to the palace to file a complaint.

He is a treacherous villain. Does he dare to say how he has let down Sister Cheng?

"Your Majesty, I absolutely dare not admit to this matter. I have never hidden the son of Marquis Jingning. He sent his son to Doctor Zhou's home himself. How is it related to me?" Shen Sui'an said with a frown.

Concubine Yao frowned, "Who will Marquis Jingning give his son to?"

Shen Sui'an: "Doctor Zhou's original wife was a former maid in the Jingning Marquis's mansion and the mother of the Jingning Marquis's son."

"How could such a thing happen? The maid ran away with her son? Wouldn't that make her a fugitive slave?" Concubine Yao really didn't expect that Marquis Jingning would marry off his son's biological mother.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Zhou has long been a good citizen, and her indenture has been changed by the government," said Shen Sui'an.

Concubine Yao suppressed her displeasure and said, "After all, he is the only son of Marquis Jingning. If you know where they are, you should ask them to send the child back."

Shen Sui'an smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really don't know the whereabouts of Doctor Zhou."

Marquis Jingning is a madman. He will probably pester Sister Cheng for the rest of his life. It would be better to send Zhou Zhou and Sister Cheng to the Southern Dynasty.

Even if Marquis Jingning knew their whereabouts, he would not dare to snatch them back openly.

"Marquis Jingning has already requested an imperial decree to confer the title of Crown Prince on his son, and the Emperor has agreed." Concubine Yao said calmly.

Shen Sui'an's expression remained calm, "Then Marquis Jingning really needs to find his son back as soon as possible."

Concubine Yao looked at the unmoved Shen Sui'an and smiled slowly.

"When do you plan to leave? Have you packed up the house here? Will you come back in the future?" Concubine Yao changed the subject, still smiling.

Shen Sui'an responded with great vigor, "Your Majesty, it's almost done. Shangjing City is my hometown, and I will definitely come back in the future."

"Don't worry, when you go to the Southern Dynasty, I will take care of Old Master Shen and the old lady for you. I will also have people take care of your young brother." Concubine Yao said with a smile.

Shen Sui'an heard a hint of threat in her gentle and kind smile.

Her heart began to lift.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Sui'an became more cautious.

"I have watched you grow up over the years. Although you are not my daughter, I have always hoped to have a daughter like you." Concubine Yao said gently.

Shen Sui'an felt a sinking feeling in his heart when he heard this.

Yao Fei looked at her with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No." Shen Sui'an shook his head slightly.

Concubine Yao smiled and said, "You are going to the Southern Dynasty. You are unfamiliar with the place and you will not be able to go without some useful helpers. I will select two palace maids for you to help you. Don't worry, they know the current situation of the Southern Dynasty very well."

"..." Shen Sui'an thought that there was no good thing in entering the palace. How could he just chat with her about family matters?

It turned out that he was still waiting for her behind.

"Your Majesty, my mother-in-law has arranged dozens of people to accompany the envoy. I have enough people to serve me." Shen Sui'an said with a smile.

Of course, Concubine Yao knew how many people had come from the Southern Dynasty, and she was actually a little surprised.

Would the Queen of the Southern Dynasty value a daughter-in-law whom she did not choose so much?

She didn't know much about Ruan Danyang, but she knew that she was a strong woman. She thought these people were here to supervise Shen Sui'an.

"Le'an, you will be a princess when you arrive in the Southern Dynasty. It will be different from the Yong Dynasty. The queen of the Southern Dynasty has two sons. Can you trust the person she arranges for you?" Concubine Yao guided her.

"I am thinking about you. Royal brothers are not what you think."

"Besides..." Concubine Yao sighed, "Lu Yuan is now a prince. He will inevitably have concubines and maids around him in the future. You will have to have people to use when the time comes."

Shen Sui'an certainly knew that she needed available manpower, and she didn't dare to use any of the manpower that Concubine Yao gave her.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I would be honored to refuse it." She can accept it, but as for how to use it, that is her business.

Concubine Yao nodded with satisfaction and waved her hand. Two beautiful palace maids came in from outside.

"Just use them with confidence."

Shen Sui'an glanced at the two palace maids. Concubine Yao really took a lot of effort and selected them carefully.

I don't know where Concubine Yao got her confidence from. If she gave her two palace maids to go to the Southern Dynasty, it would be a question whether they could survive. How could she think that these two palace maids could tip off her?

She obeyed obediently and left with two beautiful palace maids.

"Your Majesty, what if Princess Le'an didn't take the person to the Southern Dynasty?" Chu Zhi asked in a low voice. She didn't think Shen Sui'an would be so stupid.

Concubine Yao curled her lips and smiled faintly, "I just want to see how she will deal with these two people."

She just wanted to see how cruel and ruthless Shen Suian was.
