Xuanyuan Ziming helped her sit down on the soft couch. “Grandmother, be it

Madam Ji or Sister Jiajia, they’ve suffered too much in the past. It’s not good for Uncle to be caught in the middle.”

“You don’t have to explain on his behalf. I understand.” Empress Dowager Zhou shook her head. “Go back. I’m tired.”

“Then I’ll come and see you another day.”

Xuanyuan Ziming reminded Nanny Gao again worriedly and turned to leave.

“If that girl wakes up, get someone to send a message,” Empress Dowager Zhou suddenly said.

Xuanyuan Ziming paused and smiled. “Okay.”

Empress Dowager Zhou sighed and closed her eyes tiredly.

Seeing this, Nanny Gao quickly walked over and rubbed her temples. She opened her mouth to say something.

Empress Dowager Zhou asked, “Lan, how long have you been serving me?”

Nanny Gao deliberated and said, “I entered the palace fifteen years ago. In the second year after entering the palace, I was a.s.signed to serve in the Kunning Palace. It’s been 40 years.”

Kunning Palace was the palace where Empress Dowager Zhou lived when she was still the empress.

“It’s been so long.” Empress Dowager Zhou sighed. “It’s been hard on you all these years. I remember that you have a younger brother outside the palace, right?”

Nanny Gao’s heart skipped a beat. She forced a smile and said, “Yes, the

Empress Dowager still remembers.”

“How could I not remember? I still remember you saying that you entered the palace because your family couldn’t afford to eat.”

“It’s all in the past. Now that His Majesty is around, the people are living and

working in a better country. There’s definitely less instances of people who can’t afford to eat.”

Empress Dowager Zhou nodded. “Back then, when you reached the age to leave the palace, I originally wanted to let you leave the palace and get married, but you told me that you didn’t want to get married. You said that your brother had promised to adopt a child under your name in the future. Who would have thought that you would stay for most of your life?”

Nanny Gao knelt down with a thud. ‘Empress Dowager, I…”

Empress Dowager Zhou opened her eyes and looked straight at her. “You’re not young anymore. It’s time for you to leave the palace and enjoy life.”

Nanny Gao knew that Empress Dowager Zhou remembered that she had spoken up for Xuanyuan Ye previously. She complained in her heart, but she did not dare to explain further. She bent down and kowtowed heavily. “Thank you for your understanding, Empress Dowager.”

Empress Dowager Zhou narrowed her eyes again. “Go. It’s still early. Pack up and leave the palace early.”

“Yes.”

When Xuanyuan Ziming left the palace, he happened to meet Xuanyuan Ce. The uncle and nephew went to the small courtyard together with an unspoken mutual understanding.

When they saw Shen Yijia following behind Ji Luo, their expressions were extremely interesting.

It was mainly because Xuanyuan Ziming watched and Xuanyuan Ce listened.

“When did this girl wake up? Why didn’t you send someone to tell me?” Xuanyuan Ce questioned Song Jingchen.

Xuanyuan Ziming nodded again and again. He also looked at him. “You’re too much. I’m busy helping you.”

Song Jingchen coughed lightly and said calmly, “I just woke up. I was about to ask Thirty Thousand to send you a message when you came.”

Thirty Thousand was stunned. “Yes, that’s right. I was just about to lead the horses.”

In fact, after Shen Yijia woke up, the couple slept until the afternoon. Even Ji Luo was forgotten by the two heartless people.

However, his tone and expression were very sincere. Xuanyuan Ce and Xuanyuan Ziming did not discover any flaws.

Ji Luo put away the herbs she had dried. Xuanyuan Ziming greeted, “Madam Ji.”

Xuanyuan Ce also called out, “Ah Luo.”

Ji Luo ignored the two of them and walked past them expressionlessly.

Shen Yijia followed behind her. Xuanyuan Ziming rubbed his nose. “Sister Jiajia, you…”

Shen Yijia left without looking at him.

Xuanyuan Ziming was speechless.

Hearing the footsteps leave, Xuanyuan Ce swallowed his concern.

“What’s wrong with Madam Ji and Sister Jiajia?” Xuanyuan Ziming asked softly. Song Jingchen said quietly, “They might not have seen the two of you.” Xuanyuan Ziming was speechless.

In the pharmacy in the backyard, Shen Yijia was about to help Ji Luo distribute the medicinal herbs when she was swatted away.

Ji Luo didn’t use much strength, but she still left a red mark on the back of her hand.

Ji Luo paused and regretted it.

Shen Yijia rolled her eyes and said pitifully, “Mother, it hurts. Blow on it for me!”

Ji Luo rolled his eyes at her. “Go find your husband and call him over.”

Shen Yijia thought to herself, “Sure!”

Shen Yijia took two steps back and pursed her lips. “Mother, don’t be angry, okay?”

“I’m not angry.” Ji Luo threw the herbs into the medicine box roughly.

Shen Yijia was relieved. “It’s good that you’re not angry.”

Ji Luo was speechless.

“I know.” Shen Yijia sighed. “Mother thinks that I shouldn’t have risked everything to save my husband, but the reason why he contracted the plague was to protect me.”

“Besides, if my husband dies, I won’t be happy for the rest of my life.” Ji Luo paused. “You should have discussed it with Mother first.”

“If Mother finds out in advance, she definitely won’t agree to me doing that,” Shen Yijia said firmly.

Everyone was biased. No matter how satisfied Ji Luo was with Song Jingchen as her son-in-law, she wouldn’t be willing to exchange his daughter’s life for his life.

It was the same for Madam Li.

Ji Luo was speechless..
