The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

Since the envoy left, Liping has returned to its former tranquility and everyone is busy.

Time flies and it is November. The winter in Liping is not as cold as that in Beijing. Beijing has been snowing heavily for a long time, while Liping has just welcomed its first snow.

Cheng Jiuyuan was seeing a patient in the clinic when Mu Jin came in holding a thick fox fur coat.

"Miss, it's snowing outside. I'm afraid you'll be cold, so I brought you a cloak."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded, handed the prescription to the last patient, and gave him some careful instructions.

When Mu Jin saw that she had finished her work, she walked up to her and put the fox fur on her.

Cheng Jiuyuan looked outside. It was getting late. She stood up and said to Mu Jin, "Let's go."

The two of them walked out of the clinic one after the other, and saw Chu Heng coming over with an umbrella.

Mu Jin tactfully opened an umbrella for herself and looked at the lovely couple under the umbrella in front of her, with the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"Why are you here?" Cheng Jiuyuan asked, turning his head.

"I saw it was snowing, so I wanted to go back home with you."

At sunset, the light of the setting sun shines through the clouds and scatters with the snowflakes falling in the sky, which is very poetic.

There are still many people on the street. Liping at this moment is very different from a few months ago. If it were a few months ago, there would probably be no one on the street now.

But at this time, there were still many shops open, and the peddlers were just preparing to pack up and go home.

Many people on the street were running home with their necks hunched.

As the two were walking on the street, they vaguely heard people mention words like "Prince Chen" and "Second Miss Cheng".

"Thanks to His Royal Highness Prince Chen, our house is sturdy this year. We are no longer afraid of snow and can have a warm winter."

"Yes, and Princess Chen. If she hadn't proposed building a nursing home and a nursery, I'm afraid many elderly people and orphans would have frozen to death this year."

"The fields are good, and we have money in our pockets. We can finally buy some meat for the New Year. I almost forgot what meat tastes like."

"Thanks to Your Highness..."

Chu Heng and Cheng Jiuyuan smiled at each other and walked back side by side. The thin layer of snow on the ground made a crackling sound under their feet.

"It's the first snow today. Let's eat the antique soup tonight. It's warm..."

As Cheng Jiuyuan was speaking, he saw the servants of the palace rushing over and shouting from a distance: "Your Highness! Your Highness!"

The excitement made people around stop and watch.

When he got closer, Chu Heng asked, "What's the matter?"

The servant looked around and said in a low voice, "Awake! East Courtyard... Awake!!"

Chu Heng was shocked and looked at Cheng Jiuyuan, then they both used their lightness skills to run towards the palace.

The east courtyard was already full of people.

"Your Highness, hurry!"

When Chu Heng entered the room, he saw Master Zhu and Mu Zhuo gathered around Emperor Zhaolie's bed. Emperor Zhaolie was leaning against the head of the bed, and when he saw him come in, he looked at him with a smile.

Chu Heng approached slowly.

He had imagined countless times the scene of them experiencing death and farewell, and whether he would cry bitterly or something.

But when it really came to this, he felt his throat tighten, and could only utter two words in a dry voice: "Father."

Emperor Zhaolie nodded: "I have heard from the Grand Tutor and Minister Mu that you have done a great job. I am not wrong!"

Seeing Cheng Jiuyuan coming in, he waved to her: "Cheng girl, come here."

Cheng Jiuyuan stepped forward and bowed: "Greetings..."

Emperor Zhaolie waved his hand to interrupt her: "No need to be so polite."

"I didn't expect that you are so loyal to Lao Wu. It seems that this marriage is right."

Chu Heng turned his head to look at Cheng Jiuyuan, and Cheng Jiuyuan was also looking at him.

Although they didn't say anything, others could feel the affection between them.

"If not...you two would have been married a long time ago. Maybe I would have become an imperial grandfather."

Cheng Jiuyuan coughed lightly and said, "Is the emperor feeling unwell? Let me feel his pulse."

Emperor Zhaolie cooperated and stretched out his hand, allowing Cheng Jiuyuan to feel his pulse.

"I feel my mind is still a little confused and my body is a little weak, but other than that, I feel fine."

After a diagnosis, Cheng Jiuyuan said, "Your Majesty has just woken up, and these symptoms are normal. Eat something and you will get better slowly. But your health was not good to begin with, and you were poisoned. Although the poison has been resolved, your body is still damaged, so you need to take good care of yourself."

"You said before that I still had three or four years left. What about now?"

"...I will prepare a tonic for you, but three years is the limit..." Cheng Jiuyuan said with difficulty, and then looked at Chu Heng.

Chu Heng clenched his fists silently. Master Zhu and Minister Mu also looked sad.

Instead, Emperor Zhaolie smiled and said, "Enough, enough. When the situation in the court is settled, and the traitor who killed my father and seized the throne is sent to hell, I can still go to Jiangnan to take a look..."

Emperor Zhaolie had just woken up and had talked for a while. He was obviously a little exhausted.

Cheng Jiuyuan said, "Let's all go out and have the servants prepare some light food and send it over."

Emperor Zhaolie nodded: "Everyone go about your own business. I'm fine."

"I resign!"

"My maid, please retire!"

Chu Heng did not move. Cheng Jiuyuan knew that Emperor Zhaolie had finally returned from the brink of death, and the rift between the father and son had dissipated a lot.

She and Master Zhu left the room.

The eaves outside the door were also crowded with people. When Pei Xiu saw the three people coming out, he hurriedly asked, "Is the emperor okay?"

Master Zhu smiled and said, "It's fine, but I'm still not in a very good mood. The emperor is very grateful to the Pei family and said that the Pei family is a great contributor to saving the country and the emperor. When the emperor is better, he will personally reward you."

"Rewards and other things are secondary, as long as I can wake up, that's enough."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at the snowflakes dancing in the sky and said with a smile, "Auspicious snow means a good harvest. This first snow is indeed a good omen. Today is a good day and worth celebrating. Let's have Gu Gu Tang tonight. Uncle Zhu and Uncle Mu should stay as well. I'll send someone to pick up Auntie and Zhu Jin and the others."

"That's great." Master Zhu said happily.

He never rejected Cheng Jiuyuan.

Several elders like Cheng Jiuyuan very much, especially Tutor Zhu.

He often mentioned the three words "Cheng Jiuyuan" and praised Cheng Jiuyuan to others with the same pride as if he was praising his own daughter.

Many years ago, he heard that the seven-year-old daughter of the prime minister could draw a portrait of the suspect based on the description of the criminal's appearance by others, in order to avenge her mother.

Later, he saw her reputation for talent more and more, and he also read her paintings and poems. He was a person who loved talent, and this time he loved her even more.

Looking at his own daughter, he often sighed that if his daughter could be half as good as the girl from the Cheng family, he would be satisfied.

He often envied Cheng Zongyang for being so lucky to have such an intelligent daughter.

The most annoying thing is that guy doesn’t even cherish it.

Fortunately, my daughter is close to the girl from the Cheng family, and slowly, she has changed a lot.

Especially now, she is teaching the little kids to read and write, and she is doing it very well.

Finally, when he left home, what he heard was not complaints from others, but praise for his daughter.

The change in his daughter had a lot to do with the girl from the Cheng family.

Minister Mu also readily agreed.
