Before the funeral procession arrived in Liyang, Fu Guiyun had already learned the news of his father-in-law's death.

Her mother-in-law had just recovered from her illness. She couldn't imagine what would happen if she heard such bad news.

The couple had a deep love for each other and had been together for decades, going through so many ups and downs together. Fu Guiyun probably understood the pain of separation.

Looking at Cheng Kui and You Dian in front of her, she asked solemnly, "Where is the queen now?"

"Shu Liang Di has just finished her confinement. Didn't the Crown Princess mention this to the Queen a few days ago? When the two children are one month old, she will let Shu Liang Di go to express her gratitude."

Cheng Kui replied, "Early this morning, the emperor's eldest grandson and the little princess took the mother and her two children to Changchun Palace together."

"Shu" was the title that Fu Guiyun asked his mother-in-law for Fang Yi. That girl was really pitiful. Ever since she was favored by the prince, she had been almost alone until the birth of her child. Even the child had never seen his biological father after he was born.

When she rushed back from the Ye family, the twins, a boy and a girl, had already been born. Fortunately, with the care of her mother-in-law, Wuyou and Wuhui were able to be born smoothly.

I heard from Shuyan that Fangyi almost died in the delivery room, and it was Fuxiang's help at the critical moment that saved the lives of mother and child.

This made Fu Guiyun feel very relieved.

The women in the courtyard are all miserable people. Why should they be scheming against each other all day long? She hopes that everyone can live in harmony and help each other.

Although the mother-in-law rewarded Fangyi with many things, she had visited this girl a few times, and now that she was honored by her son, she didn't seem to be happy at all.

Knowing that she harbored resentment towards the prince, and that this knot of hatred caused by love was not easy to untie, Fu Guiyun had no way of persuading her and could only give her more hope of survival.

After thinking for a long time, Fu Guiyun instructed Cheng Kui, "Go and discuss with Nanny Jiang and tell the people in the palace not to let the Queen know about His Majesty's death for the time being."

It's winter again. My mother-in-law's illness is most afraid of winter. She has to hide it from the winter first and wait for Lu Linzhi to come back with the coffin. Even if she is worried about him, she has to be strong.

"And Divine Doctor Xue, we must try to keep him in the palace for a few more days."

Thinking of this, she immediately led You Dian to the medical office where Doctor Xue was living in seclusion.

Seeing him packing his luggage, Fu Guiyun hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Where are you going, doctor?"

Doctor Xue smiled at her and said, "Crown Princess, why do you have to ask when you already know the answer?"

Knowing that he was determined to leave, and also knowing that my mother-in-law's illness could not be completely cured, it was not easy to get this strange old man to break his principles and stay with my mother-in-law for so long.

But she really didn't want to accept this.

She had lived two lives, and for the first time she felt the love of her father and mother. Now that her father-in-law had passed away, she wished he could live a hundred years, at least to have him spend more time with her.

"But the food I've been cooking lately isn't to the doctor's taste."

Fu Guiyun said: "I will go and develop some new dishes..."

Before she finished speaking, Doctor Xue sighed heavily, "Girl, you are the best daughter-in-law I have ever seen. You have made so many sacrifices for the Queen, which is truly touching. But you should know that going against the will of Heaven is not in accordance with Heaven's will. You should not be too greedy. The Queen is now the mother of the country, with a high position and honors. This is something she dared not even dream of."

Fu Guiyun knew this truth very well.

Indeed, when she tried to keep Doctor Xue, she thought that if she really couldn't cure her mother-in-law, she could let her hold on for a few more days, so that when Daning was founded, she could ascend the throne alive, which would be a wish fulfilled.

Perhaps people are always so greedy, and even after getting something, they still want more.

Glancing at the desk in the room, Doctor Xue continued, "I have recorded all my life's learning in that book, and also developed some gadgets that can be used in medical practice. You have a good mind, and you have been influenced by it these days. You can study hard when you have nothing to do, and you will definitely achieve something."

He glanced at the desk and saw a thick set of medical books and some other things on it.

Fu Guiyun said gratefully: "Thank you, old doctor."

Doctor Xue was feeling complicated at this moment. He was obviously a very good person, but his life was so short. This was also the reason why he was always unwilling to treat diseases that he was not sure of cure.

"Doctor Liu has improved his medical skills a lot over the past year. With his careful care for the Queen, it is not impossible for her to spend another three to five years in peace."

Doctor Xue smiled and said, "The main thing a person needs to stay alive is his spirit. As long as his spirit is there, even a difficult disease can sometimes create miracles. The worst thing is when a person loses his will."

With a shallow sigh, he continued helplessly: "The Queen has been too worried these years. She has become ill from worrying, which has prevented the injuries in her body from being healed stably, leading to the current situation. I must persuade her to be more open-minded in the future."

These words touched Fu Guiyun's sore spot.

During the years that my mother-in-law married into the Lu family, she had to be on guard against being plotted against every day. As the mistress of the palace, she had to manage everything in the mansion and try to ensure the safety of everyone in the mansion. She lived in fear, so how could she not have worries?

It just so happened that in the past few years, because of Du Jiuniang, the whole mansion was in turmoil. I'm afraid we have only had peace for the past two years.

Now I only hope that the prince can work harder and live up to everyone's expectations and pacify the world as soon as possible. When the country is peaceful and the people are safe, my mother-in-law will no longer have to worry about me.

Knowing that he could not force Doctor Xue to stay any longer, Fu Guiyun could only tell You Dian openly, "Go prepare some money for the old doctor and send him out of the palace."

"I am an outsider, so why would I need any money for traveling? Are you still worried that my skills won't be enough to buy me a meal?"

Thinking of the meals she had prepared for him this year, Doctor Xue sighed with nostalgia: "However, after leaving this palace, I'm afraid I will never be able to find such delicious food again."

"If the old genius doctor misses the meals in the palace, he can come to the palace. I will definitely prepare a table of delicious meals for him as usual." Fu Guiyun said sincerely.

"You are about to become the mother of the country."

Doctor Xue glanced at her meaningfully and said, "How can I, an old man, always be so ignorant?"

As he spoke, he suddenly took out a small bottle from his bosom and put it in her hand, smiling and saying, "The medicine in this porcelain bottle is a panacea that I have developed by gathering the essence of all things. It can cure all poisons. There are two pills in total. It can also help the queen's condition. When the situation becomes critical, you can use this pill to extend her life. One pill can extend her life by one year."

"Thank you, old doctor."

As soon as Fu Guiyun took the porcelain bottle, Doctor Xue walked out.

Watching him walk away, You Dian sighed suddenly: "Now that Doctor Xue is gone, if the Queen's illness relapses, I'm afraid that Imperial Doctor Liu will have no safe plan."

Fu Guiyun closed his eyes lightly.

I'm afraid the old doctor is helpless. As he just said, human life depends entirely on spirit.
