At night, someone was waiting for her with a lamp, and the warm feeling was indescribable.
Thinking of the shadow that was so sleepy that she dozed off on the steps and insisted on waiting for her, Li Sixu impulsively reached for her beautiful face with her small hand, and couldn't help but rub it gently.
She shouted in a waxy voice: "Mother!"
Yu Jieyu was still squatting on the ground waiting for her to try on the shoes. Seeing that Li Sixu was not moving, she looked up with confusion on her face, her watery almond eyes filled with questions and confusion.
"Sisi?"
Li Sixu quickly and obediently stretched out her feet to reach the shoes that Yu Jieyu handed over.
"It's great to have a mother!"
She smiled sweetly and praised: "Mom, the sewing is so good, you can't tell that the shoes are damaged at all."
"In the next two days, I will help Sisi make new shoes."
Yu Jieyu happily discussed with her: "Can I sew new clothes for Sisi?"
"OK!"
Yu Jieyu chatted with Li Sixu for a while about clothing styles and conversation books, then pestered her and asked: "Is Mr. Yao seriously ill? Why is Sisi returning to the palace so late?"
"Master Yao's condition has improved a lot..."
Li Sixu felt that after her mother was favored again, there seemed to be many more people around her.
But no matter how many people there are in Linglong Residence, her mother will still feel uneasy if she leaves the palace for too long.
Li Sixu then patiently told about how after diagnosing Yao Chong, she went to Yaowang Temple to offer incense and kowtow to the master. Then she also said that it was actually very early after returning to the palace, and she followed Sun Yizheng to Nanxun Hall to pay homage to the Queen. inquiry.
She even told her that she had been to Leng Gong and wanted to pick a piece of land in Leng Gong to grow artemisia annua and develop medicine to treat malaria.
Just because she was too exhausted after walking too much in one day, she fell asleep on Yu Jieyu's shoulder from exhaustion as she talked.
Yu Jieyu asked Aunt Wei to help hold her on the bed, and said thoughtfully: "Linglongju can also grow medicinal materials. Is Sisi going to the Leng Palace really just to grow medicinal materials in the Leng Palace?"
"Yunying has been protecting the young master today."
Aunt Wei suggested: "Your Majesty, please call Yunying in and you will know after asking."
The lights in the room were dim, and Yu Jieyu's gentle gaze focused on Li Sixu's sleeping little face: "No need to ask, no matter what Sisi does, it is to protect Linglongju and to shield me from the wind and rain."
Li Sixu went out of the palace to diagnose Yao Chong's illness and did not return to the palace until nightfall. Yu Jieyu was extremely worried.
Last time she danced the Nine Immortals Dance and was favored, Li Sixu praised her dress for being beautiful. In fact, she had already chosen a piece of light-colored carved and dyed cloth from the pieces of cloth given by Liu Jieyu to sew clothes for Li Sixu. .
The clothes were almost sewn. Seeing that the little man on the bed was fast asleep, she asked Aunt Wei to go back to the house to get the skirt, and hemmed the cuffs and skirt corners by the light.
While Yu Jieyu was threading the needle, she would look gently at Li Sixu who was sleeping soundly from time to time.
She was tired from sewing and saw that it was getting late, so she simply stayed next to Li Sixu and fell asleep. Mother and daughter hugged each other and slept soundly, but they didn't know that someone had been kept awake all night because of Li Sixu.

In Qingfeng Hall of Purple Orchid Palace, ever since it was known that Xu Cairen had been taken to Nanxun Hall by Manager Gui beside the Queen, the lights in Concubine Shu's bedroom had not been extinguished.
She asked the palace maid to study the ink and write a few lines on the rice paper.
By accident, the ink smeared on the paper, ruining the newly written word.
"Mom, it's getting late, why don't you take a rest!"
The palace maid was advising her on the side, and Concubine Shu suppressed the annoyance in her heart and ordered: "Call Bao Hai here for me."
Concubine Shu summoned her, and Eunuch Bao quickly entered the bedroom. When she screened the maid away, Eunuch Bao looked concerned.
"Is your Majesty worried about Xu Cairen's affairs?"
"Xu Cairen is indeed a trouble."
Concubine Shu held the pen in her slender hand and tapped it: "Guanshi Yuan is such a useless waste. He can't even deal with a kid."
His mother-in-law has always been calm and calm, and she has been able to move with ease every step in this palace. She was favored when she was still in the feudal palace, and has been favored by His Majesty since he ascended the throne until now.
This is the first time that the empress has been so upset and angry.
Concubine Shu was angry, but Eunuch Bao stood aside and did not dare to speak.
After a while, he said: "Your Majesty, I can't blame Guanshi Yuan for this. Guanshi Yuan is an old man who served the late emperor. The plan he laid out this time is perfect. As long as the little princess can be lured to the cold palace, the little princess will never be able to escape suspicion."
"Eunuch Yuan was hit on the foot by a stone. It can be seen that the guards around the little princess have indeed been to Leng Palace. This matter was originally foolproof."
Eunuch Bao had a look of pity on his face: "No one would have thought that the little princess, who was only a few years old, could see through the trap set up by Manager Yuan, not only involve the empress, but also use the imperial guards around the emperor to The matter was reported to Eunuch Yang."
"That's why I say that Linglongju's little kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Not only did he avoid the danger of the cold palace, but he also made your majesty feel even more guilty for their mother and daughter because of this matter."
Concubine Shu frowned and said: "Because of Wu Jieyu's appointment as a concubine, the emperor is already dissatisfied with the person in Nanxun Palace. I thought that if that person got involved, if something happened to the little guy in the cold palace, the emperor would be dissatisfied with Nanxun Palace." That one creates a divide.”
"I didn't expect that the little thing could still master the tricks at such a young age."
"Not only is Xu Cairen alive, he was diagnosed with Soul Leaving Syndrome by Dr. Sun, and he was taken to Nanxun Palace by Manager Gui."
Steward Leng Gongyuan collaborated with the maid around Xu Cairen to poison and frame the tenth princess. The evidence of the crime was conclusive and it was a foregone conclusion.
Concubine Shu was not afraid that Manager Yuan would bite her out. After all, she still held the lives of Manager Yuan’s family members outside the palace in her hands. However, the little thing in Linglongju repeatedly avoided the traps she had set up and kept her in the palace. The forces and secrets that were easy to cultivate were removed one by one.
She was calm and collected at the beginning and was interested in Linglongju, but now she is indeed a little upset and agitated.
Especially when Xu Cairen fell into the hands of the queen, the matter was really difficult.
Eunuch Bao knew the crux of Concubine Shu's problem and said boldly: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor's diagnosis cannot be trusted. I have already asked the secret agent placed in Nanxun Palace to test Xu Cairen's depth."
"Guanshi Yuan fed her the secret medicine of the previous dynasty. No matter how good the imperial physician's medical skills were, he could have managed to escape the disaster, but it would have hurt her brain."
Eunuch Bao comforted him and said, "I thought she really suffered from soul-leaving syndrome and couldn't remember anything!"
Eunuch Bao said that the Anzi who was placed in Nanxun Hall had tested Xu Cairen's skills, and Concubine Shu's face became better.
"I have failed several times in succession, and I finally understand the truth. That little guy Linglongju is the biggest variable in this palace."
Concubine Shu told Eunuch Bao: "Unless you are sure of a fatal blow, don't touch that little brat again. There is something evil about her."
"As for Xu Cairen, let the hidden stake in Nanxun Palace continue to stare at her. If she really suffers from Soul Leaving Syndrome and can't remember anything, there is no need to kill them all, so as not to alert the snake!"
Eunuch Bao responded: "I know this!"
