In order to confirm the guess in her heart, Su Junning still couldn't help but go to her father's study, but she was prevaricated.

It was only said that there was a problem with the salt tax in a certain place, and the emperor sent him to investigate.

Since he was just going to check the salt tax, how could it be inconvenient to make it clear to her, this matter is certainly not as simple as it seems.

The more he couldn't ask anything, the more panicked Su Junning became.

She was worried that Shen Qianwei would be in danger if she went.

But at the moment there is nothing to do but wait and pray, and nothing can be done.

Since her father and Shen Qianwei are very evasive about this errand, she can't check it even if she has doubts, otherwise it will cause trouble if she arouses the suspicion of others and causes unnecessary trouble.

So in the following time, Su Juning closed the door and only stayed at home with her mother and sister-in-law all day long, but she was also at ease.

While showing his mother and sister-in-law to his third brother Su Yu'an, he waited for his cousin Su Yuren to end up.

When you are free, time flies.

Half a month has passed in a trance, and the weather in mid-September is much cooler, and the wind blows in the morning and evening, and it is still a little chilly.

Su Juning helped read the account books in Cui's room at night, and when she went back late, it happened to be raining lightly, and as soon as the cool breeze blew, people got wind chill and started a fever at night.

The burning was not serious, and the commonly used medicinal herbs were prepared at home, so Nan Su boiled a bowl and told her to drink it, and then she fell asleep groggyly.

When I woke up the next day, my nose was stuffy and my throat was sore.

In the morning, both the Cui family and the Fang family came to see her, but she didn't have the energy and didn't say a few words.

When I was taking a nap in the afternoon, I vaguely heard Nan Xu, Yingmei, and Jichun talking outside.

There seems to be something in the words not to alarm Miss, hide and so on.

Su Junning slept in a fog, her brain couldn't move, and she soon fell asleep again, and she didn't remember this stubble.

In the evening, when I was woken up for dinner, I felt much more comfortable.

"Miss looks a lot better, are you still dizzy? The slave knew that the young lady didn't like to see the meat and greasy when she was cold, so she specially asked someone to boil millet porridge and fried a few list of side dishes, so Miss eat it quickly. ”

Nan Su chattered while distributing vegetables.

Su Junning didn't eat much during the day, but she was a little hungry this time, so she picked up a bowl and drank a few sips of soft and sweet millet porridge, and her body was ironed a lot warmer.

"Autumn is different from summer, obviously I don't feel cold, but a few stitches of cool breeze won't work." Su Juning gossiped.

Nan Xu nodded, "Isn't it, Miss has a lot of ideas to keep warm and rest these days, just listen to the advice of the slave maid and stay in the courtyard, it just so happens that the weather has not been very good in the past two days." ”

Speaking of which, Yingmei next to her also answered.

"Yes, it's just autumn, and there are many people who are infected with the cold, so don't go out and get sick again."

Su Junning was eating the food, but when the maids cared about themselves, she nodded indifferently.

"Sister-in-law is pregnant, don't be sick by me, just avoid it for the past two days, and just take out my unfinished embroidery work."

As he spoke, he glanced at Jichun.

"Your craftsmanship is good, but you have to help me take a look, I don't have people to say that I can't even embroider wedding dresses."

"Yes, it's the slave and the maid who will do their best."

Sending spring blessings to the body, looking a little nervous.

Su Juning was puzzled, her eyes swept over the three maids in the house, and she found that they all seemed to have something on her mind, and she became strange for a while.

"What's the matter, I'm depressed today."

"What's the matter?" Nan Su immediately came over to help her pick up the vegetables, "Miss is sick, how many slaves can still laugh?" Miss try this cabbage, it's very tender. ”

Su Juning was suspicious in her heart, but she couldn't see more for a while, so she didn't care about it anymore.

In addition, he was sick and his energy was indeed lacking, so he simply washed up and lay down after dinner.

For the next two or three days, it was a light rain.

Su Junning nested in the Hidden Jade Pavilion and didn't go anywhere.

First, it was inconvenient to go out on a rainy day, and secondly, it was also for the maids to stumble her with the embroidery work in their hands.

After three or four days, as soon as the rain stopped, Su Junning said that he would go to the garden for a walk.

Nan Su couldn't persuade him, so he had to respond.

When he walked outside, he noticed that it was a little windy, so Su Junning sent Nan Su back to get a small cloak.

While waiting, I remembered that there were chrysanthemums on the verandah near the front yard, and now it was the time to bloom, so I wandered over to look.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached, he saw his father and two colleagues passing by the verandah, apparently going to the study.

"The emperor's condition is not improving, and now there is this salt tax mess again, I don't know how His Royal Highness King Chen will deal with it."

"The prince is going to get married in half a month, and things are getting stubble, I'm afraid I'm also messing up."

The two were discussing when Su Yi interrupted in a deep voice.

"These are not things you and I need to worry about, what we should do now is still the essence, supervise the hundred officials, and never let people with intentions take the opportunity to make trouble."

"Yes." One of them responded, paused and said, "Lord Su has also been affected recently, and the affairs of the court depend on you, on the side of the salt tax, General Xiao Shen is seriously injured, and the situation is unknown, which is also half a family matter." ”

Another person hurriedly said, "General Xiao Shen Ji has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely turn evil into good fortune." ”

Su Yi was about to speak, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that not far away, Su Junning stood there and looked at him in a daze, and his heart lifted for a while.

"Ning'er."

"He's hurt?" Su Juning's little face turned pale, and he approached quickly, very eager to get an accurate reply, "Dad, what's wrong with him?" When? ”

I didn't expect her to hear it, and the two ministers who followed behind were also a little embarrassed for a while, and they were silent.

Looking at his daughter's anxious appearance, Su Yi moved his lips, but in the end he didn't give a reply, only relieved.

"Don't worry too much, Qianwei is a person who has been on the battlefield, naturally there will be no big problem, you have a cold wind just two days ago, there is wind outside today, go back and rest, everything is with your father."

"Miss!"

Nan Su took the cloak and rushed back.

Seeing Su Juning and Su Yi talking, he guessed that something was wrong, and hurriedly rushed over, tied her cloak, and wanted to pull her away.

"Miss, the master still has guests to entertain, the slave will help you go back first, if you have anything to say, it's not too late to talk about it later."

"You know that too, don't you?" Su Juning's eyes were red, and she turned her head and pinched Nan Su's wrist, "It happened when I was sick, right?" ”

"Miss." Nan Xu looked embarrassed and glanced at Su Yi.

The latter said in a deep voice, "Ning'er, you go back first, and then come to you when your father finishes dealing with the matter at hand." ”

After speaking, he handed Nan Su a look, Nan Su understood, and immediately pulled Su Junning away.

And from Nan Su's mouth, Su Junning also learned a piece of news, when Shen Qianwei was tracking down the salt tax, he was ambushed, and he was seriously injured and fell off the cliff, and he has not been found yet, and his life and death are uncertain.

Hearing this, Su Juning was so excited that he knocked over the small copper stove of incense, and was burned by the hot charcoal in it.

The maids exclaimed, made a mess, and hurried to give the medicine.

And Su Juning was also in a mess in her heart, and she couldn't believe that something really happened.
