Chapter 1955 The Regent Princess is about to faint again
The young man was none other than the current high-ranking and popular Regent Xie Lin.
He went out to look for work and passed by an inn, where he stayed overnight to rest.
Walking into the room, Xie Lin sat down next to the tea table and tapped the edge of the table twice with his slender fingers.
"Go and check why the Su family didn't come to Beijing quickly and why they stayed here?" He ordered the guards standing in the dark.
The shadow guard went quietly and came back, "Sir, the cousin who followed the Su family to the capital has fallen ill and is resting in the inn."
Xie Lin raised his eyes slightly and looked at the shadow guard, a cold light flashed in his eyes, forcing the shadow guard not to dare to look at him.
But he quickly restrained himself, lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Check, which room is she in?"
The guest rooms in the inn were no more comfortable than staying at home. Shi Li was already sick and fragile. At night, she always felt the cold wind blowing in from every corner and crack, so she wrapped herself tightly in the quilt.
In the drowsiness, it seemed as if a warm hand gently covered her forehead and probed. Shi Li felt that she was dreaming, but her hand reached out and firmly grasped the hand in her dream.
I vaguely felt that the hand that was held seemed very beautiful.
Shi Li held this hand and slept much more soundly than before, as if the cold wind outside was blocked.
I slept until dawn and felt that all the fatigue and drowsiness in my body had dissipated a lot, and my illness was almost cured.
As the door was pushed open, Shi Xuan personally brought her breakfast. After closing the door, her pretty face showed an expression of watching a good show.
"What makes you so happy?" Shi Li understood her and asked curiously.
Shi Xuan smiled more unconcealedly, handed her breakfast first, and stared at her carefully before saying, "You look much better today, you should be well soon."
"Yes, I didn't sleep well last night, but then I dreamed that someone was watching over me. I even seemed to be holding that person's hand, and then I slept well."
Shi Li told her dream without caring, lowered her head to drink the porridge brought by Shi Xuan, and listened to her talk about the gossip she had just seen.
It turned out that Su Yuan was somehow obsessed with seeing the distinguished guest who stayed at the inn last night. Her aunt tried to stop her but failed. She had a big tantrum with Su Yuan in the room, and Shi Xuan happened to pass by and heard everything.
Shi Li also felt helpless after listening to this.
My aunt is a kind mother with a spoiled heart towards her two children. She spoiled them when they were in Jiangnan, and now they are going to settle down in the capital. Su Yuan is still so frivolous, she is bound to suffer in the future.
"She is so ignorant that I'm afraid she will bring trouble to us in the future." Shi Xuan felt that she was already that stupid and unruly girl, but compared with Su Yuan, she was still a dwarf.
Shi Li drank half a bowl of porridge and felt more energetic. She took it very seriously and said, "Indeed, so you should get married quickly and take me with you, so that you won't be implicated by the Su family."
This time, Shi Xuan did not feel embarrassed, but nodded seriously.
They had to pay one more day's rent for each day they stayed in the inn. When my aunt heard that Shi Li was feeling better, she immediately set off to continue her journey.
Shi Li had no objection, so he packed up his things and walked out of the inn.
Only Su Yuan was absent-minded and kept looking around, and was poked hard by her aunt.
As before, Shi Li and Shi Xuan rode in one carriage, and her aunt and Su Yuan rode in another.
Just before getting on the carriage, Su Yuan spotted a man dressed as a servant and stopped him while no one else was paying attention.
"What's your master's name?" she asked anxiously, still thinking that as long as she knew the other party's identity, she would meet her father and ask him to help her arrange this heaven-sent match.
The servant who was stopped looked at her in horror, then when he came to his senses he just shook his head and left in a hurry.
"You..." Su Yuan didn't get what she wanted to know and stamped her feet anxiously. Then, remembering that this man had just walked past the carriage of the two sisters of the Shi family, she glared at him fiercely as if to vent her anger.
"This is..." After getting on the carriage, Shi Li was surprised to find an exquisite hand warmer on the seat with a piece of letter next to it.
She picked it up hesitantly, and was stunned by the words on it.
There was only one word "Ning" written on the letter, which was elegant and graceful, like a green bamboo standing upright.
Before she could react, Shi Xuan also got on the carriage. Shi Li subconsciously hid the letter behind her and picked up the exquisite hand warmer.
Shi Xuan didn't notice anything unusual, but nodded to her with relief.
"Finally I know how to hold a hand warmer. You always complained about it before. Let's see if I can take care of you if you get sick again."
Shi Li could only smile and hold the letter tightly in her hand.
