“Father, they are all so strong!”
Before Hongyi could answer, Yun ‘er was worried. The warriors who fell were all-powerful. The big guy could even carry Hongyi. He was so strong that he could break her cousin.
“Cousin, don’t worry.”
Seeing that his cousin was worried about him, Hong Yi smiled. The young man’s competitive spirit rose. He stood up confidently and cupped his fists at
Xiao Zeyu.
“Uncle, Hongyi has embarrassed himself.”
” Haha, good. Heroes come from youngsters.”
Xiao Zeyu looked at Hong Yi with admiration. The young man’s courage was commendable. Looking at his determined eyes and confident expression, he should be assured. As expected, like father, like son.
Hong Yi walked off the stage with his back straight. He looked at the wrestler valiantly. The wind blew his sleeves, and the young man looked imposing.
The wrestler looked down on him because he was still a teenager. He clapped his hands casually.
“I’m sorry.” Hong Yi cupped his hands.
Xiao Zeyu looked at Hong Yi with a smile. This child had a bearing, and his every move was very much like that of a Central Plainsman. There was no lack of etiquette. His sister must have spent a lot of effort to educate him.
The smile on Xiao Zeyu’s face disappeared as he thought of his younger sister. She was still suffering from her heart disease. Xiao Zeyu felt his heart ache. He didn’t know when Qing ‘ er would be able to return home. Why doesn’t he go and treat his younger sister first? Perhaps bringing along the meat lingzhi could alleviate his younger sister’s heart disease.
With this thought in mind, Xiao Zeyu couldn’t sit still. He beckoned Ziqi over.
“Ziqi, Father wants to go to Tartan to visit your aunt. Do you have the confidence to go to court independently?”
“I’m confident I can manage the government well,” Ziqi said with cupped fists.
“Good, good. Father didn’t misjudge you.”
Xiao Zeyu was very happy. If Ziqi could manage the court affairs alone, his shift would be brought forward. He had promised Qing ‘er that he would accompany her to farm. It was time to fulfill his promise.
Hong Yi was already fighting with the wrestler offstage. Initially, Hong Yi was just testing the wrestler’s strength, so he was wandering. His body was agile, and the wrestler couldn’t find a chance to lift him and throw him.
Their arms collided briefly as the wrestler attempted to grab Hong Yi, only to find his arm elusive like a slippery snake. Hong Yi, gauging the wrestler’s strength in these initial moments, suddenly exerted his force decisively. Without giving the wrestler time to react, he firmly grasped his belt and hurled him to the ground. The wrestler, lying confused, wondered how he had been so easily overpowered.
Yun’er, anxiously watching the match, burst into excited cheers as she saw her cousin triumph. Her eyes sparkled with admiration for Yelu Hongyi, and she enthusiastically clapped her hands in support.
“Cousin is incredible,” Zi Song remarked, his eyes filled with respect and a hint of envy. He aspired to possess skills like Hong Yi’s.
Meanwhile, Xiao Zeyu, engrossed in conversation with Ziqi, missed the thrilling moment of the match but joined in the applause for his nephew.
“Well done, Hongyi! Truly outstanding,” he exclaimed, his heart swelling with pride at his sister’s child’s accomplishment.
Turning to Hong Yi, Xiao Zeyu’s face beamed with joy.
“Hongyi, what reward would you like from your uncle? Ask for anything you wish; it shall be yours!”
In response to this generous offer, Hong Yi bowed deeply.
“Uncle, Hongyi doesn’t want any reward. He only wants to cure mother.
“What a filial child. I promise you that I will cure your mother’s illness.” Seeing how sensible his nephew was, Xiao Zeyu was filled with joy. His sister was blessed to have such a filial son.
“Hongyi, get ready. Uncle will accompany you back to Tartan tomorrow,” Xiao Zeyu announced to his nephew during dinner in the inner palace.
“Uncle, you want to go back with me?”
Hongyi looked at his uncle in surprise. His mother would be happy to see him.
Once she was happy, her illness would be half cured.
“Imperial Father, I haven’t seen my aunt yet. Can you take me along? When Yun ‘er heard that her father was going to Tartan, the little girl’s eyes lit up. She heard that there was a vast grassland over there. She wanted to go and take a look.
“Imperial Father, your son also wants to go.”
Zi Song also pleaded with his sister, his big eyes filled with desire.
“You guys just…”
Xiao Zeyu wanted to say that they didn’t have to go, but he couldn’t bear to do so when he saw the longing in the eyes of the two children, especially Yun ‘er. Ever since she was young, if Yun’ er wanted something, he would do his best to satisfy it.
His sister had three sons and no daughters. She would be happy to see Yun ‘er. Yun’ Eler’s personality was similar to Xiao Ying’s before she married!
” Alright, you guys get ready too. Tomorrow, you will go to Tartan with Father.”
“That’s great. Thank you, Imperial Father.”
Yun ‘er was happy when she heard that. She skipped over and hugged Xiao Zeyu’s arm coquettishly.
“Haha, don’t cause trouble there.”
Xiao Zeyu looked at his daughter dotingly, reminding her to control her temper.
“Yun ‘er knows.”
Yun ‘er agreed coquettishly. Of course, she had to restrain herself when she was not at her own home.
The next day, Xiao Zeyu dressed casually and left the capital silently with only a hundred Golden Sabre guards.
Yun ‘er and Zi Song were sitting in a carriage and looking out the window. Hong Yi was riding with Xiao Zeyu. Hong Yi was a child who grew up on a horse His riding posture was very natural and unrestrained. Xiao Zeyu’s eyes were filled with love. Yun’ er’s eyes were filled with stars. Zi Song could not sit still.
“Imperial Father, your son also wants to ride a horse.”
Zi Song had also learned to ride since he was a child. Boys especially liked the feeling of riding on horseback. That was what men were like.
“Alright.”
Xiao Zeyu readily agreed. Zi Song was his favorite son. Zi Qi was too calm, Zi Jian was too quiet, and only Zi Song was full of energy. Every day, he seemed to have endless vitality.
The group headed north. Three days after they left, Su Qing returned from Anhui.
This trip to the south happened to be amid a plague there. It was supposed to spread widely. Fortunately, Su Qing went and did not allow everyone to leave their houses. Every day, some people came to deliver medicine and food. It took more than ten days for the plague to be eradicated.
She also delayed her return to the capital because of the plague. Ultimately, she had just returned to the capital when she heard about Xiao Ying’s illness and the news that Xiao Zeyu had left the capital with the children.
Su Qing was anxious when she heard that Xiao Ying was seriously ill. She did not stop and immediately set off for Tartan.
Ziqi sent her mother out of the city and stood at the foot of the city, watching the group disappear. His gaze turned from reluctance to determination. “Mother, Father, don’t worry. I will manage the country well and share your worries.”
Qin Feng and Su Hanxuan looked at Ziqi with heartache. He had to shoulder the country’s burden at such a young age. Who asked him to have unreliable parents?
Xiao Zeyu arrived in Tartan three days earlier than Su Qing. He rushed to see his sister as soon as he arrived. Xiao Ying was surprised to see her brother. She hugged him and cried like a child.
He missed her so much; he missed her so much…
“Xiao Ying, be careful of your illness.”
Yelii Chun was already a middle-aged man with a full beard. When he saw Xiao Ying crying, he was so scared that he hurriedly advised her. The doctor said that she could not be agitated, angry, too happy, or too sad due to her heart disease…
When Yelii Chun finished speaking, Xiao Ying clutched her chest and squatted on the ground!
