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

Shen Sui'an didn't know the relationship between the Ruan family and the Shao family, and this was only the second time she met Ruan Zhaoxia. She could only speak vaguely about many things, lest if she spoke too bluntly, it might backfire.

Ruan Zhaoxia complained a few words, but when she heard Ruan Zhaoxi's voice, she felt it difficult to continue talking to Shen Suian.

"Your Highness." She stood up and knelt.

"Sister-in-law, I'm bringing you some fruits. They were just delivered to the palace today." Fu Jinyi raised his hand to Ruan Zhaoxia, indicating that she didn't need to be polite.

"Cousin, this is jujube. Even though it looks similar to an orange, it tastes completely different," said Ruan Zhaoxia.

"Only the south has jade, and not much is sent to the palace every year."

Fu Jinyi said, "Sister-in-law, you can eat as much as you want."

Shen Sui'an thanked with a smile, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"Why are you two brothers here today?" Fu Jinyi asked.

"I'm here to talk to my cousin's wife, and as for this, I'm here to have a free meal." Ruan Zhaoxia smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth, pointing at Ruan Zhaoxi with her slender jade hand.

Fu Jinyi put his arm around Ruan Zhaoxi's shoulders and said, "That's great. Then accompany me to do horse stance."

"Your Highness, your cousin Prince Chen is not here. Even if you slack off for a few days, he won't know and your sister-in-law won't complain." Ruan Zhaoxia said.

"My sister-in-law won't complain, but Yu Bai will keep an eye on me." Fu Jinyi snorted.

Before leaving, his brother reminded him not to slack off for a single day and to exercise every day.

Shen Sui'an looked at Fu Jinyi, whose complexion was getting better day by day, and understood why Fu Jinyuan asked him to do horse stance every day.

Fu Jinyuan was very afraid that the little prince’s old illness would relapse one day, and then even the immortals would not be able to save him.

"We have a freshly slaughtered lamb today. You can stay and have dinner with us." Shen Sui'an said, "We will roast the meat and use the lamb bones to cook white radish soup."

"Okay." Fu Jinyi nodded immediately.

"Then you two go and do horse stance, and Sister Xia and I will go sit with the old lady." Shen Sui'an said.

In the blink of an eye, it was dusk. Fu Jinyi and Ruan Zhaoxi changed their clothes in the front yard. After taking off their sweaty clothes, they returned to the upper room.

Ruan Zhaoxia was playing with Cheng Ge'er, while Shen Suian and Jiang were talking.

Fu Jinyi appeared at the door and everyone stood up and saluted.

"Mrs. Shen, please sit down quickly. In my brother's house, I am not the prince. You can just treat me as a junior." Fu Jinyi said hurriedly.

Jiang bowed slightly, "How can we do that?"

"Have a bowl of hot soup first." Shen Sui'an said to Fu Jinyi.

Jiang said, "I don't know where the prince is now."

"According to the time, we should be at the post station 20 miles away from Jingkou now. We should be able to reach Jingkou before noon tomorrow." Fu Jinyi said.

"Sister-in-law, are you worried that Big Brother won't be able to wipe out the Thirteen Villages?"

Jiang whispered, "How can I not be worried? Your Highness should stop talking, or else Sui Sui will not be able to sleep well tonight."

"I believe in the prince." Shen Sui'an said with a smile.

Fu Jinyi said, "I believe in you, brother, too."

……

The trusted Fu Jinyuan was refused entry to the post station.

The postmaster trembled and bowed, "Sir, the post station is full. There are really... really no rooms available."

Fu Jinyuan looked at the heavy snow outside. If he couldn't stay in the post station today, at least half of the dozens of Ti cavalrymen behind him would fall ill.

"Even if there is no room, we can take shelter from the wind and snow in the hall," said Fu Jinyuan.

The postmaster's forehead was covered with sweat. "No, I can't."

Prince Kang raised his foot and kicked him out, "What nonsense! The Prince of Chen can live wherever he wants. How dare you, a mere postmaster, stop him?"

"Go and see who has filled up the post station." Du Youchuan instructed the people behind him.

He turned around and grinned at Fu Jinyuan, "Commander, there's no need to bother with such a small person. Your gentlemanly method won't work."

"Commander, there is no one up there." Zheng Liangye shouted in the corridor.

Fu Jinyuan lowered his eyes and looked at the postmaster who was being stepped on by Du Youchuan.

"If no one is staying in the hotel, why don't you let our pacification department move in?" Fu Jinyuan asked calmly.

The postmaster was so miserable that he wanted to cry, "My lord, please forgive me. Someone in the capital city told me to refuse your stay."

"Fuck, you have been eaten by a dog. It's snowing so heavily outside and you left us outside in the cold. Who gave you the order? I'm going to fight him to the death when I get back."

"I don't know. I just said... I just said it was an order from above." The postmaster knelt in front of Fu Jinyuan, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I won't dare to do it again."

Fu Jinyuan glanced at him and said to Du Youchuan, "Let him go and let him make some food first."

The postmaster escaped death and kowtowed hard to Fu Jinyuan.

Prince Kang picked him up, his handsome face full of gloomy sneers, "You are not going to put drugs in our food, are you?"

"Sir, I dare not, I dare not." The postmaster was so scared that he waved his hands.

Where did he get the courage to drug Prince Chen?

Prince Kang threw him out and said, "Get lost."

Fu Jinyuan said, "Get some rest tonight, you will have a real battle soon."

Du Youchuan was very excited, "Your Majesty, I'm ready."

With his eloquent tongue, he will surely be able to persuade a few bandits to surrender.

Fu Jinyuan looked at the young masters in front of him. Although they had been trained for a period of time, it would be difficult for these young masters who had grown up in a pampered environment and had never seen blood to truly grow up.

He closed his eyes and rested, his fingers tapping lightly on the table subconsciously.

I could still hear the sound of Du Youchuan and Prince Kang fighting.

After half an hour, the postmaster finally brought over a pot of hot beef soup and two trays of meat buns.

"You eat first." Du Youchuan picked up a bun at random and asked the postmaster to eat it.

"Master Du, we are watching him and he can't give us the drugs." Gao Jian said in a deep voice.

Fu Jinyuan has two subordinates who came from Yong Dynasty, one is called Gao Jian and the other is called Wu Yang.

He is an expert in martial arts and has been helping him train these young masters, so Du Youchuan and the others all trust him.

"Eat it." Fu Jinyuan ate a bun first.

The postmaster glanced at them and shrunk his shoulders as much as possible to reduce his presence.

"How many rooms are there?" Fu Jinyuan asked.

The postmaster did not respond and kept his head down.

Du Youchuan kicked him and said, "I'm asking you a question."

"Ah!" The postmaster said, holding his foot in pain, "There are... there are ten rooms."

"When I looked just now, there were clearly twelve of them. You old man, are you trying to deceive us again?"

The postmaster shouted hurriedly, "Twelve, it's twelve..."

Fu Jinyuan smiled and said, "After you're full, go back and rest. We'll set off early tomorrow morning and arrive at Jingkou before noon."

"Yes." Du Youchuan clenched his fists.

"Your Highness, I will go and help you feed the horses," said the postmaster.

Fu Jinyuan: "No need, outsiders are not allowed to approach our horses."

In the middle of the night, several miles away from the post station, a wolfhound howled.

The fire flickered in the wind and snow.
