Ye Jingyu wanted to get angry but held his tongue. "What is so important that you have to tell me at this time?"
Su Yunmo's spirits lifted at the mention of it. "I went into the palace today, and the Empress has found a marriage for you."
Ye Jingyu narrowed his eyes dangerously. "And then?"
"And then you'll have a consort soon, aren't you happy?" Su Yunmo dangled her little feet, her eyebrows dancing.
"It's not impossible that if you try hard enough, and can produce an imperial grandson before Ye Jingcheng, it will be easier to seize the position of Crown Prince in the future."
He wondered if his current small body was up to it.
Hmm~ Ten years old, a bit young.
But it didn't matter, he had medicine on hand, and if he needed it, he could help.
Su Yunmo propped her chin, smacking her lips.
"The Empress also plans to let the Empress Dowager have a look. There will be a palace banquet in a few days, and that woman will most likely be there. When you meet her..."
The cinched sash suddenly flew out and bound Su Yunmo's feet. xxs
The next second, she was pulled into the pool.
"Pfft..." Su Yunmo choked on water and couldn't stand up, her two short legs flailing desperately in the water.
Ye Jingyu watched coldly from the side, showing no intention of helping.
After a while, Su Yunmo finally managed to stand up.
But the water level was above her head.
She could only lift her little paws to climb ashore, but the wall was too slippery to get up.
Her waist was grabbed, and she was pulled up.
Su Yunmo instinctively hugged the pole she had descended on and coughed violently.
Ye Jingyu frowned and instinctively wanted to pat her back, then stopped.
When she finished coughing, she puffed out her cheeks like a drowned hamster. "Ye Jingyu, what are you doing!"
Ye Jingyu withdrew his hand and sneered, "To sober you up and stop you from talking nonsense!"
Su Yunmo's eyes turned red, not from anger, but from choking on the water. "Who are you calling that! I came here with good intentions to deliver a message! You don't appreciate kindness!"
He's really not a good person!
"Then should I thank Miss Su for being so considerate of this King?" His tone was deep, clearly indicating he was angry.
Su Yunmo suddenly felt the urge to jump into the river again.
She climbed ashore, gritting her teeth, and unfastened the sash from her ankle, throwing it at his head.
Ye Jingyu didn't dodge and was hit squarely.
"Do you think I wanted to bother with this? If you don't appreciate it, I won't care anymore. Marry whoever you want! You scoundrel Ye Jingyu!"
The little hamster turned into a little pufferfish, wet and huffing, and turned to leave.
The door was slammed shut forcefully.
Ye Jingyu took a deep breath and pulled down the sash from his head.
A moment later, Ying Xiao entered and knelt on one knee. "My Lord, please calm your anger. It was the young lady who said she knew what the Qingliang Hall was, so I..."
Ye Jingyu punched the wall of the bath. "Go investigate what that damned marriage is all about!"
Ying Xiao glanced at his lord in confusion and said, "Yes."
Su Yunmo, blowing a cold wind all the way, returned to the General's mansion.
As soon as she entered, Lvluo saw her with a look of surprise, and even Ziyuan was taken aback.
Su Yunmo was thoroughly soaked, water still dripping from her hair, her cheeks flushed, and her little mouth pouted so much it could hang a string.
Lvluo quickly covered her head with a towel. "Miss, didn't you go into the palace? How did you get like this?"
Su Yunmo opened her mouth and sneezed first, then gritted her teeth. "Bitten by a mad dog!"
"A mad dog? That's terrible! Where did it bite you? Let your servant have a look." Lvluo hurried to help her take off her wet clothes, looking left and right, but found no wounds on her body.
Ziyuan's eyes flickered slightly, as if she sensed something. "The mistress is fine. Let's wipe her clean and get her into bed."
"That's right, be sure not to get sick." Lvluo carried her to the bed and wrapped her in a quilt.
Ziyuan stepped forward. "Your injuries haven't healed yet. I'll take care of the mistress, you go back and rest."
Lvluo wanted to stay, but remembering that her mistress had said she needed more rest, she had no choice but to leave.
After Lvluo left, Ziyuan squatted by the bed and tentatively asked, "Did the mistress go to the Imperial Prince's mansion?"
Nowadays, the only one who could make the mistress like this was that person.
Su Yunmo snorted heavily, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, turned her back to the wall, and ignored her.
Ziyuan was helpless.
Her mistress was becoming more and more childish.
But was she getting too close to that imperial prince now?
It was necessary to guard against it.
Since Su Yunmo refused to speak, Ziyuan could do nothing but go out and let her calm down.
Su Yunmo was very angry, constantly cursing Ye Jingyu for being heartless.
She had worried that the fiancé chosen by the Empress was not good, and had specifically told him to pay attention, but he had gotten angry with her.
"If you want to marry, then marry. I don't care!"
It's best to marry a shrew, a fierce woman!
Su Yunmo cursed and bit the corner of the quilt, like a frantic little puppy.
Gradually, her frantic energy subsided, and Su Yunmo felt tired, falling into a daze.
When she woke up, she heard someone talking by the bed, it seemed to be Zhou Wanyou.
She couldn't hear clearly, feeling groggy, her eyelids unable to open, and her nose blocked.
She felt like she called out 'Mother,' but maybe not, and fell into a daze again.
She slept for a day and a night.
Her body had just recovered a few days ago due to her special abilities, but now, after being thrown into the water and then exposed to the wind, coupled with the fact that this body's foundation was weaker than that of other children.
Su Yunmo fell ill with a fever.
When she got sick, the entire General's mansion was in a flurry of anxiety.
This young lady, brought back from the side courtyard, was truly too frail.
Zhou Wanyou stayed up all night, constantly changing the towel on Su Yunmo's forehead.
Su Qingtian watched with heartache. As dawn broke, he persuaded her to rest, saying he would guard by the bedside.
When Su Yunmo woke up the second time, she saw Su Qingtian's face.
"Daddy~ Hmm~ My throat hurts..."
The child's face was sallow, her eye sockets sunken, and her small hands clutched the edge of the quilt outside the blanket.
When Su Qingtian traveled in his youth, he had seen a cute creature called a fox-mouse.
This creature was only the size of a teacup, white, like a small mouse but with fox fur, with pointed ears and a round head and body.
Its little paws were pink, it was timid, and it loved to hide in rock crevices and squeak.
Su Yunmo's appearance now overlapped with this creature.
Su Qingtian immediately fetched water and gently fed her a few sips by her mouth, moving carefully and not daring to touch her.
"You're sick and need to rest to get better. Besides your throat, does anything else hurt?"
Su Yunmo pouted, her eyes red as if about to cry. "My head hurts, my bones hurt, and... and my tummy hurts too."
In fact, it wasn't that many places hurt; she just felt uncomfortable all over.
She was still groggy.
Su Yunmo was speaking deliriously, but Su Qingtian didn't dismiss it as nonsense and broke out in a sweat.
He had taken care of his three children when they were sick before, but it was infrequent and for short periods. They were usually sick one day and bouncing around the next.
This was the first time General Su had taken care of a young girl.
"It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore. Daddy will rub your tummy, and it will stop hurting soon."
