She had not come back last night, but when Su Zhi had secretly returned to Flower Mansion Tower with her hair in a mess and her clothes in a mess, she had even scared Qiu Hong witless.

"Boss!" "You're finally back!"

She sobbed as she walked forward and hurriedly ordered someone to go downstairs and invite Li Yi up.

Su Zhi rubbed her stomach and asked pitifully, "Is there anything to eat?" "I'm so hungry. It's best if it's hot soup or something."

Qiu Hong nodded her head like she was pounding garlic. "Yes, yes. Please wait!"

Having not eaten for so long, his stomach had long since become empty.

Su Zhi felt that her recent life as the bane of evil was completely unlucky. The bad luck that stuck to her body had not yet calmed down, but it had caused her to suffer greatly.

Hearing that she had come back, Li Yi put down what he was doing and rushed over. He shouted as soon as he opened the door, "Little Su! Are you okay? "

Seeing that her body was covered in dirt and her face was dirty, his heart skipped a beat and he softly said: "I'm fine. Fortunately, someone came back."

Su Zhi looked at him in confusion. "Brother Li, do you have something else to say?"

Li Yi stomped his feet and said hatefully, "Those two bastards dared to have malicious thoughts towards you. They are truly despicable. Don't worry, you won't let them off when the general returns!"

Just as he finished speaking, he remembered that the two men were already dead.

"What do you mean?"

Li Yi evaded and didn't dare to answer directly. He was forced by Su Zhi to say, "The yamen came by early this morning to say that there were two lecherous things on the stall, hoping to tarnish you …"

What?

She had disappeared for an entire night, and the story had come out so quickly?

Those two clearly wanted to take her life, right? How could it be what they said!

Li Yi saw her surprised expression and consoled her with great sorrow. "Don't think too much about it. Life is still long, so let's just treat this as the past. The only people that the shop knows about are me and Autumn Red, and even Shuang'er doesn't know."

Su Zhi Sheng shook his head. Relax, this matter would spread like wildfire.

However, when she thought about it, those two clearly wanted to kill someone, so why did they want her? Who was the one that had stealthily guided the rumors? Was he trying to ruin her reputation, or was he trying to hide the fact that he had killed her?

"Boss, the chicken soup I brought you is still hot!"

Qiu Hong came in with a food box. She exchanged glances with Li Yi and stared at her with concern.

"Thank you."

Su Zhi held the hot soup and took a sip. Her stomach felt a lot better. Her clothes were stuck together and uncomfortable. She got up to straighten her shirt.

"Boss!" Qiu Hong stepped forward and closed the wooden window.

"How... "What's wrong?" Su Zhi stared at her in confusion.

Qiu Hong's expression froze as she shook her head. "Nothing, just eat."

"Tsk, Qiu Hong, you don't think that I want to jump off a building and meet with you, do you?"

What was this? She really wasn't affected. It was impossible to explain!

"No matter what, you have to be strong. The shop can't be without you!"

Li Yi also nodded, "That's right, Little Su. We won't look at you differently, and neither will the general."

Su Zhi really wanted to smash her head into a wall. Who would randomly think of such a wicked reason?

"I really haven't …"

No matter how she explained, Qiu Hong and Li Yi didn't dare leave her alone.

This meal made Su Zhi speechless. She simply ate a little to fill her stomach, then asked Qiu Hong to take out a piece of clothing from the clothing store on the first floor that she could wear and change into it.

Based on her current appearance, she would probably scare them when she went back.

"I haven't been home for the night. I need to go back and take a look. I won't be staying in the shop today. I'll come back tomorrow."

Qiu Hong hesitated. "That is fine too. This little one will go back with you."

Su Zhi laughed bitterly. "Qiu Hong, I really need to thank you for being afraid of me being unhappy. I really haven't been touched by that. I'm fine, I don't want to die!"

No matter what one might say, that was the reason why Qiu Hong and the others gave up on the idea of following them home.

Su Zhi got on the carriage and headed straight for Spring Leaf Alley.

When Mama Ding saw that Su Zhi had returned, she went up to her happily and held her back. "Oh my god, what kind of lawsuit would require Madame to personally leave the city and let our general know. We'll definitely let them suffer a loss."

Bi Yue also walked out of the house. She went up to him and asked with concern, "Is Madam alright? I don't think you look too good. Where did you go last night? We're all worried to death. "

Su Zhi comforted the two of them. When she saw the little bean bag lunge at her with the rabbit in her arms, she crouched down and hugged her to the ground.

"Mother."

"Sigh!"

Only then did Su Zhi turn back and say, "It's all a misunderstanding. It's okay, you don't have to worry." "Dan Xue went to school with A Jin?"

Bi Yue nodded. "That's right. In the morning, Jin'er asked about your whereabouts. It's all thanks to you coming back."

"It's true that I didn't get a good night's sleep last night. I even went to walk in the muddy ditch. I just want to take a bath and sleep for a while now."

"Alright, Madam will accompany Sister Lan for a while. I'll go prepare some hot soup now."

Bi Yue dove head first into the kitchen. Only her mother, Ding, noticed that something was wrong and refused to leave.

"Ma'am, did you encounter some difficulty?" Tell me, and I will send a message to the general so that he can think of a way. "

Su Zhi hurriedly shook her head, "There's no need. The general is also very worried outside. Now that he's been distracted and worrying about his family's matters, isn't that just making things more difficult for him? "Mom Ding, don't worry. I can handle this. It's not a big deal."

As she refused to answer, there was nothing she could do. She could only play with the small bean bag beside her and unwittingly said, "The general is on good terms with the other generals of the supporting countries in the imperial court. Not only that, he has a good relationship with the young masters of the Tan Family.

Su Zhi understood the meaning behind her words and knew that the enemy she faced this time was incalculable.

If the truth realm could not hold out any longer, she would think of a way to seek help.

"I understand her kind intentions, so you can rest assured that if something similar happens again, I will brazenly ask for their help."

Mother Ding sighed and nodded. She knew that she had a strong personality and didn't like to trouble others, so she didn't say anything more.

Su Zhishu took a comfortable bath, then ate some pastries. Her body felt much more comfortable.

He had been sitting there all night, and now his back was aching and his mind was running out of steam.

After the small bean bun was brought by Jade Moon into the courtyard to play, Su Zhi climbed onto the bed and fell asleep.

The branches of the willow branches on the moon shined for an entire day. At night, the river of stars also swayed.

The Royal Capital, Eastern Palace.

A youth wearing a white fox fur coat was sitting under the lamp, looking at the portrait of the woman.

His body was very thin, and from time to time he coughed. Although he was trying his best to restrain himself, it was still worrisome.

"Your Highness Crown Prince, it's late at night. Rest for now."

The youth under the lantern was thin and weak, his appearance like a painting. He caressed the woman in the portrait, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Fu An, do you think Su Family's elder sister will like my current appearance? She used to think I was too thin. "

The eunuch shivered, not daring to reply. He looked around, then replied carefully, "Your Highness, since you are already dead, why mention it? If His Majesty were to hear it, I will blame you again. "

Recently, Lu Chenming had been looking at the portrait more and more frequently. He had secretly put it away quite a few times, but he was still able to find it.

"Since I was a child, I have always been weak and sickly. I have never left the palace. If it weren't for her, I would still be like a canary in a cage, unable to see the outside world."

"Your Highness …"

The youth bitterly smiled. "I miss her very much."

"Don't let the emperor and empress hear that."

"Mm, I know. You can leave now and let Pei Yan in."

"Your Highness," the eunuch called out, bowing and backing away, before long, he had the strength to dress up as a guard.

Lu Chenming nodded lightly and put away the portrait on the table, "The Zhao Family is making a move?"
