The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1298 - 1378: In My Lifetime
In her lifetime, she must at least complete this task.
The revelations from Miao Qing were deeply imprinted in her mind: the Eighth Princess as a foe, the Ninth Princess as a friend.
Lao Ba had ambitions but lacked capability. This person was too narrow-minded. Although he had strategies, his vision was not broad enough. He only knew internal strife and could not resist a strong enemy’s attack.
If Lao Ba continued to hold power, Dayuan would inevitably be annexed by Dajin, and once Dayuan was destroyed, and Dajin invaded the Yuan Territory, with Mother Liang having the Yuwen family as a backing and such hatred for her men’s family, it was feared that her family would be the first to suffer.
She frowned with worry. She wanted to do more for them, until, until...
Until she was on the brink of death, until she could no longer move, until the last moment of her life. Otherwise, even after her death, she might find it hard to be at peace.
Today, Dong Huiying went out on an empty stomach. In fact, not just today, she seemed to become more and more lazy.
Ever since deciding to take Su Lang with her, their three meals a day were nearly always resolved outside. At night, sometimes they would return to the small rural courtyard in the Suburbs of the capital where they temporarily stayed, but there were also times when they would stay directly in an inn in the city.
On this day, after entering the city, she found that inside Yuanjing was festively decorated. Counting on her fingers, it was already the twelfth lunar month.
In another month, it would be New Year.
Her heart ached slightly.
No matter how busy she was before, no matter where she was, she would always go home for New Year.
Back then, the family was either missing this person or that person, but every year, Shujun would be waiting at home for her. She, Shujun, Yue Ning, and Shu Yu spent several New Years together.
Counting carefully, the times the whole family spent holidays together were surprisingly few.
And this year, it seemed she would be on her own. No, at least Su Lang would be with her. Even though she felt she wasn’t familiar with Su Lang, the feeling was hard to explain.
At least, at least... Su Lang knew her men and was related to them. In a foreign land, even if Su Lang’s character changed dramatically, having someone who could evoke her memories and remind her of the past was still good.
At least through Su Lang, she could reminisce about the happy times when the family was together.
She clutched her sleeves together; the weather was too cold, too freezing for hands.
She and Su Lang walked into a small shop, ordered buns and fried dough sticks for Su Lang, while she herself had a bowl of tofu pudding in front of her.
No way, a toothless old lady really couldn’t afford to get hurt. Even if she wanted to eat many things, without teeth, she couldn’t chew, so she could only eat porridge and tofu pudding, which were easier to consume.
They took a small, inconspicuous spot. The delicious tofu pudding eased her internal chill, and she sighed comfortably.
"Hey, did you hear?"
"How did that circus troupe get so lucky to catch Prince Meng’s eye?"
"The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is Prince Meng’s birthday. Who would have thought a street-performing troupe would be noticed by such an important person."
"They truly have good fortune."
Listening to the chatter of others, Dong Huiying remembered having seen some older and younger street performers speaking with Jiangnan accents these past few days, but she wasn’t interested in that.
However, Prince Meng Mansion?
"Perhaps, I could do this..."
Always troubled by inability to enter the palace, but now thinking of this, she realized it was her own narrow-mindedness.
