He waved his hand, and the servants immediately took out the prepared ladder. Su Qingcheng climbed up the ladder and picked out a few ripe persimmons: "Eat these for dinner."

She nodded with satisfaction, picked out a few smaller ones, put them in another basket, and said, "Save these for making persimmons."

Ye Tantai watched the whole process not far from the persimmon tree, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth never dropped.

After Su Qingcheng finished her work, she immediately ran in the direction of Ye Tantai. She happily took the filled basket and showed off: "Look, if you eat persimmons on the first day, everything will go well."

Ye Tantai took the basket and put it on the table, her eyes brightened a bit, her dark eyes were as gentle as ever, and her other hand slowly patted away the snow on her head with gentle movements.

This time her hair was not messed up.

Then, he put Mrs. Tang into Su Qingcheng's arms and said softly: "Let's have a meal."

After saying that, he motioned for Su Qingcheng to follow him. The woman's clear eyes like a deer were sparkling, looking at his back, and her mind was unknowingly confused.

The road leading to the backyard was extremely hidden. Su Qingcheng looked around and couldn't help but sigh: "I've been wandering around the house all day, but I didn't find this road?"

Ye Tantai chuckled and said nothing.

When he was approaching, he deliberately slowed down and blocked her in front of her. He hid his hands in his clothes and couldn't help but clench them. His mouth froze, looking a little nervous.

As Ye Tantai stopped, Su Qingcheng also stood still. She could only see the scenes on both sides, and the front was completely blocked by the man's generous back.

"Why don't you leave?" Su Qingcheng was confused.

As soon as she finished speaking, the figure in front of her moved away with the sound of fireworks.

Colorful fireworks bloomed in the night sky, lighting up half the sky.

"Wish you a happy New Year's Day."

He leaned over and stared at her straightly, suppressing his voice. His voice was deliberately lowered and magnetic, with a soft breathy sound at the end.

Su Qingcheng's two water-like almond eyes were filled with excitement and surprise for him. They had an indescribable agility, and her eyelashes trembled, not knowing how to hide her emotions at all.

She smiled gently and said from the bottom of her heart: "Be well on the New Year's Day."

The swing in the corner caught her eye. The swing looked very similar to the dilapidated swing in the Su Mansion's backyard, and she felt familiar.

She couldn't wait to run towards the swing. She took a closer look and saw that the workmanship was a little rough. The man quietly stood beside her: "I built this by hand. Try it?"

Su Qingcheng was slightly surprised. She touched the swing and felt inexplicably happy. No wonder he came back so late...

She nodded and sat up. Ye Tantai walked behind and pushed her very naturally.

Her heart felt numb, and all the happiness in front of her was a little unreal. It was a dull but interesting day that she could not even dream of.

The maids placed the food in the pavilion. The persimmons Su Qingcheng had just picked were also placed aside. The two played for a while and then sat down at the table.

"Don't you like it?" Ye Tantai asked tentatively, observing her expression, which didn't seem to be very happy.

She shook her head and said solemnly: "No, I just feel that the half month in Qingshui City... is very happy, thank you."

Ye Tantai chuckled: "There is no need to be so polite between husband and wife. If you like it, I will give you another one after returning to the palace."

Su Qingcheng suddenly felt a little bitter. They would eventually go back, and she and Ye Tantai would eventually be separated...

"Let's eat first." She smiled slightly and avoided her eyes.

Just when the two of them had eaten and drank and were ready to play on the swing again, the emperor's grandson came to interview. There was an urgent news coming from the capital, and the emperor's grandson hurried over to inform the two of them.

"A few days ago, there was occasional friction at the border between Nanye and Dongling. The two countries refused to give in to each other and were probably going to fight. Dongling sent a princess and a prince to make peace. The emperor asked me to rush back quickly."

The border war with Dongling Kingdom...

Su Qingcheng suddenly remembered that Ye Tantai died in this war in his previous life! At that time, the war broke out not long after the Dongling envoy returned.

But this battle in this life has been advanced several years.

"How could this be?"

Su Qingcheng was puzzled. Her heart beat faster. She couldn't sit still and wait for death. Since the war in her previous life was caused by the failure of peace talks, does that mean that as long as this cooperation is promoted, there will be no war? Ye Dan Taiwan will not die...

"In that case, let's rush back tomorrow." Su Qingcheng said.

The emperor's grandson nodded, and added with a not particularly good-looking expression: "One more thing, the letter from Xuerou said that a charlatan came to the capital a few days ago and brought some kind of miraculous elixir to the emperor's grandfather. The hospital was helpless and the disease was cured just like that. The imperial grandfather was overjoyed. Hearing that this man had the secret of immortality, the emperor wanted to make him his adopted son..."

After saying that, he held his forehead, as if he was also troubled by the emperor's nonsense.

"Just one pill can cure the cough?" Su Qingcheng asked doubtfully.

The emperor's grandson nodded heavily and said with the same surprise: "It's really strange, but the emperor's grandfather has deep faith in this person, just like the two of them have known each other for a long time. Forget it, I'll go back and pack my things first."

After he left, Su Qingcheng questioned: "Since the hospital is helpless, how can the cough be cured so easily? Has Gu Huoyan mentioned this?"

"I mentioned it, he said it was poisoning." Ye Tantai said.

"As expected," Su Qingcheng tapped her fingers on the table rhythmically, "Then that panacea must be the antidote to this poison."

But she was full of doubts, and now she just wanted to rush back to the capital as soon as possible to find out.

Under the moon, the two returned to the room to rest, and the plate of persimmons was finally brought back intact.

They were each covered with quilts, with their backs to each other. The difference was that Ye Tantai's eyes were closed, but Su Qingcheng couldn't close her eyes because there was something on her mind.

A sense of uneasiness swept through her body. So many changes had taken place in this life that many things had deviated from the trajectory of the previous life.

Half an hour after lying down, she fell asleep lightly.

Su Qingcheng had a nightmare, which was a scene from her past life.

Nanye and Dongling seem to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact they have already started fighting on the border. You fight here today, and he fights back tomorrow.

Ye Tantai was ordered to go to the border. She stood in front of the city wall and watched. In an instant, the scene suddenly changed. He was limping on one leg and was surrounded by enemies. Dozens of knives were inserted into his body. Even if he died, he did not fall... …

"Ye Tantai!"

She woke up from her dream, covered in cold sweat. Ye Tantai was awakened by her exclamation. Seeing Su Qingcheng with a frightened face, he held her in his arms and stroked her head to comfort her.

"Having a nightmare? It's okay, I'm here."

"Promise me not to go to the battlefield regardless of whether there is an imperial edict or not!" Su Qingcheng curled up in his arms, like a wounded deer seeking shelter, and murmured, "Don't go..."
