"Of course not." Although Liu Ruosi seemed to ask casually, Rong Chenghan's heart was ringing with alarm. He already had a premonition of what kind of tragedy would result if he answered this question carelessly. "It has been a long time since.

I want to propose marriage to my father-in-law, but I have never dared to ask."

"I don't understand this." Liu Ruosi glanced at Rong Chenghan and said, "My father values ​​you so much, why don't you dare?" There were things that Rong Chenghan didn't dare to do. Liu Ruosi expressed doubts.

.

"Of course I don't dare." Rong Chenghan said seriously, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law regard you as the apple of their eye. I am just a warrior. Although my father-in-law and mother-in-law think highly of me and treat me well, they may not be willing to betroth the apple of their eye to me. Furthermore,

You didn't even speak hypocritically to me back then, how could I dare to speak so easily."

Rong Chenghan's words were obviously flattering and beautifying. At that time, Liu Ruosi's attitude towards him was not just polite, but deeply hostile.

However, hearing Rong Chenghan say this, Liu Ruosi felt quite comfortable.

"As for the seventh sister... we have grown up together since childhood, but we have never been close to each other. It is far inferior to the friendship between you and brothers Liu He and Liu Tong since childhood. Later, I went north again these years.

, it’s not an exaggeration to say they are strangers.” Rong Chenghan continued.

Rong Chenghan did not lie. He had already thought about marrying Liu Ruosi, and he really considered Liu Ruosi's attitude and his status as a military commander. He did not rush to propose marriage until Mr. Liu Er gave a hint.

Rong Chenghan was naturally overjoyed.

Of course, the timing of all this happening was also such a coincidence. Rong Chenghan can say from the bottom of his heart that his marriage to Liu Ruosi had nothing to do with Su or Su Qingnuan. But Mr. Liu’s hints, as well as his relationship with Liu Ruosi,

Liu Ruosi's engagement just happened to help him solve the problem. Otherwise, if he hadn't been committed to Liu Ruosi at that time, he would have gone through a lot of troubles in arranging the Su family.

Only then can we make things even. If at first Rong Chenghan was forced to explain due to Liu Ruosi's questioning, it slowly turned into a confession. As for what happened to the two people since they first met, Rong Chenghan

Han actually remembered it so clearly. As Liu Ruosi listened to this, her face still looked careless, but the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up slightly, showing that she was in a good mood.

The young couple whispered for a long time, becoming more and more affectionate. However, what happened in front of them still distracted them.

"The Crown Princess was in a very dangerous situation this time. Although her life was saved again, judging from her appearance, I'm afraid she won't be able to survive for much longer. I think the Crown Princess is also worried about her funeral, so she went out of her way to see her father and the king.

"I said that in front of my mother." The Crown Princess must have felt that she was really in danger this time, so she did this.

Although the Crown Princess had spoken her words, looking at her behavior in Chunhui Hall at that time, she probably felt more desolate and helpless.

Rong Chenghan frowned slightly and was speechless for a while.

"Chenghan, what do you think?" Liu Ruosi asked Rong Chenghan.

"I remember that my sister-in-law had troubles like this several times. Although it was not as serious as this one, she got over it. My brother... felt very sorry for his sister-in-law and would definitely protect her at all costs." Rong Chenghan said slowly.

If the Crown Princess survives this time like the previous times, then Su Qingnuan...

Su Qingnuan's position will be even more embarrassing. How will the palace and the Su family arrange Su Qingnuan's place?

"In my opinion, what I said was a bit hasty." Liu Ruosi also nodded and said, "I guess it's not the Crown Princess's original intention..." The Su family member said something to the Crown Princess. Su ignored it.

Everyone talked to the Crown Princess alone and what they said. Liu Ruosi had a vague feeling that the Crown Princess's words should be largely due to the instructions of the Su family and the Su family.

Rong Chenghan nodded, he also felt that it was inappropriate to do so. Just like King Yongjing's silence on this issue, and Rong Chengyi's attitude. But for the very obvious hints and arrangements of the Su family and the Su family, other than Rong Chengyi

, Rong Chenghan would naturally not interfere. King Yongjing's silence was actually equivalent to acquiescence, although he might also feel that something was wrong in his heart.

"My father is a very nostalgic person." Rong Chenghan said softly, his tone was quite meaningful, "In my father's eyes, the late princess was a perfect woman."

"Oh." Liu Ruosi and Rong Chenghan exchanged glances, and immediately understood what Rong Chenghan meant. The old prince's acquiescence in this matter was not due to the Su family's favor, nor to Su's favor.

His face was due to the late former princess.

"Who chose the Crown Princess?" Liu Ruosi asked.

Rong Chenghan glanced at Liu Ruosi with approval in his eyes. He only revealed some clues, but Liu Ruosi grasped the crux of the problem so quickly.

"It was decided for the eldest brother before the late princess passed away." Rong Chenghan told Liu Ruosi.

The young couple chatted in whispers for a long time, until there was more drumming outside, and Grandma Chang walked in softly, reminding them that it was long past time to take a rest, so they hurriedly washed and went to bed.

The next day, Liu Ruosi went to Chunhui Hall to see Su, and heard that Su Qingnuan had been picked up and was still living in Yuxiangzhai. A little girl told Liu Ruosi that she had seen Su Qingnuan when she arrived at the palace.

After King Yongjing and the Su family, they immediately went to Rongyuan Hall and stayed up all night to take care of the Crown Princess.

"How is the condition of the Crown Princess? I paid tribute to my mother and wanted to go over and have a look, but I don't know if it is convenient." Liu Ruosi bowed to Su and then asked.

"I was uproarious for half the night last night, and then I went to sleep in the middle of the night. I seem to be getting calmer, but I don't know what will happen today. Her illness comes back and forth. It's hard to say." Mrs. Su told Liu Ruosi, but she screamed

Liu Ruosi did not need to go to Rongyuan Hall, "The Crown Princess is ill. As long as you have this idea, there is no need to go over and disturb her. It will not be helpful to her condition."

When Su said this, Liu Ruosi naturally didn't force herself. Not only because Su's words that were not helpful for her condition were reasonable, but Liu Ruosi also had to consider the princess's temperament. Not to mention that she was almost sick now.

Even when meeting people, the imperial concubine didn't like to talk to people. When Liu Ruosi went to Rongyuan Hall, she was rejected once. But she was not the only one rejected, it was also the case with Mr. Lao.

Speaking of which, I can go to Rongyuan Hall. And every time the Crown Princess is willing to see them, they are Su Shi and Su Qingnuan in the palace.

Later, Liu Ruosi understood the prince's temperament and simply told the Su family. The Su family said that the prince concubine was ill, so Liu Ruosi stopped going to Rongyuan Hall.

"The mother-in-law ordered that the daughter-in-law not come over yet." Liu Ruosi said and sat down on the chair.

As soon as she sat down, footsteps were heard outside. The little girl raised the curtain, and Su Qingnuan walked over.

Su Qingnuan was wearing a light blue dress, with only a little makeup on her face. She looked even more haggard than when she was at Daxiangguo Temple. Su Qingnuan entered the door, first saluted Su, and then hurriedly

Come over and salute Liu Ruosi. Call her third sister-in-law.

Liu Ruosi noticed something strange about Su Qingnuan almost immediately. No matter how Su Qingnuan was elsewhere in the past, she would immediately become lively when she came to Su's place, but today's Su Qingnuan suddenly became much more stable, and she was different from Su Qingnuan.

When Liu Ruosi saluted, she was less pretentious and more solemn than in the past.

"Meeting the seventh sister again so soon..." Liu Ruosi looked at Su Qingnuan and said.

"Third sister-in-law." Su Qingnuan said in a low voice, "You and I, sisters, are the best. If I have any shortcomings, please don't worry about it. Whenever you use me in the future, third sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law, just ask."

Liu Ruosi could hardly help but want to laugh. What did Su Qingnuan mean by this? Could it be that she decided that the position was hers. At this time, she wanted to be on good terms with Liu Ruosi, so that Liu Ruosi would not cause trouble for her.

?

"How dare you tell Seventh Sister anything? What happens between you and me is only between Seventh Sister's thoughts." Seeing Su Qingnuan acting like this, Liu Ruosi responded in a calm manner.

"Seventh girl, come and sit down." Mrs. Su greeted Su Qingnuan.

Su Qingnuan smiled at Liu Ruosi, walked to Madam Su, and sat on the couch with Madam Su.

Su Shi took Su Qingnuan's hand and looked at Su Qingnuan carefully up and down. Su Shi felt heartbroken after this look.

"You haven't slept all night. Look at your eyes, they are already red and swollen like this. What's going to happen if you keep going like this? Although you have taken good care of your eldest sister, but if you collapse again from exhaustion, how should I explain to your parents?

, it also makes people feel distressed." Mrs. Su hurriedly asked someone to bring water, wiped Su Qingnuan's face herself, and brought ointment to apply on Su Qingnuan.

Su Qingnuan stopped Su in a hurry.

"Just now the imperial doctor came to see my eldest sister. My eldest brother asked the imperial doctor to take a look at me. He said that I just need to rest and rest. If I take medicine, it will be worse." Su Qingnuan said to Mrs. Su.

When Su heard that it was the imperial doctor who said this, she quickly put down the ointment.

"This child is so sincere and values ​​friendship above all else. When things happen, he always thinks of others first, which makes people feel bad." Mrs. Su held Su Qingnuan's hand again, but the words were addressed to Liu Ruosi and Wu.

Everyone in the room heard, "...I have been best friends with her eldest sister since she was a child. Thanks to her always taking care of her eldest sister these years. If you are all as considerate as Qi Yatou, you will be my blessing."

"

"My aunt praises me so much, which really makes me feel ashamed. It's not as good as my aunt said. I've always been stupid, but I just followed my heart." Su Qingnuan said immediately, glancing at Liu Ruo

She glanced at her and said, "Aunt, if you want to be smart and considerate, of course you are the third sister-in-law. How can I compare with the third sister-in-law?"

When Su heard what Su Qingnuan said, she also glanced at Liu Ruosi. Su Qingnuan secretly tugged at the corner of Su's clothes.

"You are all good and filial children." Su Shi coughed twice and said reluctantly.

"I don't dare to praise my mother and concubine." Liu Ruosi said with a smile. Of course she knew that she got this compliment from Su Shi because of Su Qingnuan's credit.

Su Qingnuan came over. Mrs. Su sent someone to call her. She was afraid that Su Qingnuan would only take care of the Crown Princess and forget about meal time, so she specially called Su Qingnuan to come and eat with her. A little girl came in and asked, saying that it was

The food is ready. Do you want to serve it?

"Put the food on the table." Mrs. Su ordered.

When Liu Ruosi saw that Mrs. Su was about to eat, she stood up and said goodbye to Mrs. Su.

"Auntie didn't say that we should keep the third sister-in-law to eat with her," Su Qingnuan said.

"Exactly." Mrs. Su never refused to refute Su Qingnuan's words, so she said to Liu Ruosi. "You don't have to go back. It's the same as eating here with me and then going back."

"I'll go back after serving my concubine," Liu Ruosi said.

The little girl served the food. Liu Ruosi brought the meal to Su, but refused to sit down and eat with her. Seeing Liu Ruosi's behavior, Su felt a little uncomfortable because of Liu Ruosi's presence, so she simply asked Liu Ruosi to

Ruosi went back. Liu Ruosi also hurriedly bowed and left, coming out of Chunhui Hall.

For several days in a row, the illness of the imperial concubine was recurring. Su Qingnuan served the imperial concubine untied every day in front of the imperial concubine's bed. Liu Ruosi and Rong Chenghan went to Chunhui Hall again. Prince Yongjing and Rong Chengyi were both there. Regarding the imperial concubine's care,

Everyone is worried about his condition.

Liu Ruosi exchanged glances with Rong Chenghan, stood up, and handed over a box.

"...I just found an old wild ginseng. They say it should be hundreds of years old. I don't know if the Crown Princess can use it."

Liu Ruosi's words fell, and the room suddenly became quiet. Everyone's eyes fell on the box in Liu Ruosi's hand. A little girl came over, took the box from Liu Ruosi's hand, and handed it to the old prince and Su

in front of his family.
