Xiao Changyi said: "Let her be. Even if we are no longer here, Jing'er and the others will take care of her. Even if she never marries, Jing'er and the others will look after her." He paused, "As long as she is happy, that's enough."
An Jing nodded, "That's true." Then she burst into laughter and said, "Husband, it's funny how she has been preparing her dowry since she was a child, and if she doesn't marry, she will have prepared it all for nothing."
Xiao Changyi said nothing, but his lips curled into a slight smile.
At that moment, the sound of galloping hooves approached rapidly, urgent like an express courier, and both An Jing and Xiao Changyi knew something was wrong. They stood up and went to the door.
As soon as they reached the door, Su Chengyu's personal guard dismounted swiftly, and upon dismounting, he knelt before Xiao Changyi and An Jing, and said urgently and sadly, "King, Queen, the Emperor is failing."
