About Him
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
A guard’s shout came from outside. Xiao Zeyu ordered his men to go out and check. Xiao Ying’s entire body tensed up. She held her breath and looked outside the door. Her hands were tightly clenched. Her sharp nails dug into the tender flesh of her palms, but she didn’t feel any pain.
“Reporting to the Emperor, Prince Yeluchun fainted and hit the fake mountain rock. His head… He hit his head.”
The guard who went out to check returned and reported that the guards had taken away Yelu Chun. He had been struggling non-stop when he was crossing the fake mountain rock. Because he had struggled too much and knocked his head against the mountain rock, his head had bled, and he had fainted.
Xiao Ying’s mind went blank when she heard the guard’s words. She ran out without thinking about anything. Xiao Zeyu sighed when he saw his sister’s anxious back. Although she spoke tough, she still cared about him very much.
This was what Xiao Zeyu feared the most. It would be fine if his sister had given up on Yeluchun, but it would be troublesome if she continued to love him.
He did not want his sister to spend her entire life alone. After returning to the palace, he wanted to find a consort who was both virtuous and talented, both civil and martial, for his sister.
Now, Xiao Ying still had Yeluchun in her heart. She wouldn’t fall for any man!
Xiao Zeyu understood this feeling the most. He only had Su Qing in his heart. Even if a Heaven Immortal were given to him, he wouldn’t care.
What should he do? Should he take his sister away or let her return to the country with Yeluchun?
After all, they were once good friends. Xiao Zeyu only stayed in the room for a moment before checking Yeluchun’s condition.
Yeluchun’s loyal servant, Ah Lu, hugged him and cried.
“Your Highness, Your Highness, wake up. The Princess Consort is here to see you.”
Xiao Ying looked at the bloodied Yeluchun and felt her heart ache. It was as if she had forgotten all her grudges. She squatted down and took out a handkerchief to help him wipe the blood off his face. Tears flowed down like pearls.
“Wake up, wake up.”
Xiao Ying called out to Yelu Chun, but he did not respond. His eyes were tightly shut, and his lips were pale and bloodless.
“Medicine, medicine, big brother, medicine.”
Xiao Ying suddenly remembered the medicine her sister-in-law had left for them before she left. Her medicine was the best. After applying the medicine, there would not be a scar. After taking the medicine, no matter how severe the injury was, they would not die.
Xiao Zeyu ordered someone to bring the medicine over. He lowered his head and looked at Yelu Chun. The last time they met in Tartan, he was arrogant and did not put anyone in his eyes. He had also issued a killing order for him.
Although he knew he was under that woman’s love spell, he felt ill at ease. Moreover, what he did to Xiao Ying was even more unforgivable.
However, seeing how haggard Yeluchun looked and how he was willing to sacrifice his life for Xiao Ying, Xiao Zeyu’s heart softened.
“Men, take Yelu Chun to the guest room to rest.”
Xiao Zeyu ordered people to carry Yelu Chun into the guest room. He did not send him to the courier station or drive him to Tartan.
Let’s treat his injuries first!
“Wangfei, please help me take care of wangye.”
Ah Lu was an intelligent person. He could tell that Xiao Ying still had feelings for Yeluchun, so he suggested that Xiao Ying help him take care of Yeluchun.
Xiao Ying was stunned for a moment. She wanted to say no heartlessly but couldn’t help but nod.
Xiao Zeyu stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky and sighing. Forget it; people will make mistakes; give Yeluchun a chance!
“Xiao Ying, if Li’er is still alive, give him a chance!”
Xiao Zeyu had set up a threshold. He couldn’t possibly let his nephew lack parents, right?
The Tartan Kingdom would not agree to the royal bloodline wandering outside. Xiao Ying would not be able to leave Li’er either. If he relied on force to force Li’er to stay in the Great Tang, that would be equivalent to declaring war on the Tartan Kingdom.
It was mainly because of Xiao Ying. If she gave up on Yeluchun, Xiao Zeyu wouldn’t care, even if he had to declare war. He only had one sister. He wasn’t fit to be the Emperor if he couldn’t even protect his sister.
Xiao Ying followed Ah Lu to the guest room. Xiao Zeyu didn’t stop her and instructed the kitchen to make some blood tonic soup. He also sent two maids to help Xiao Ying take care of Yeluchun.
After dealing with Yelu Chun’s matter, Xiao Zeyu returned to the room. Seeing that Li Daniu was still unconscious, he tucked him in and sat on the bed for a while before leaving.
“The Emperor is good to your brother.”
Li Daniu’s brother-in-law, Chang Gen, told Li Shuang ‘er that he used to think that Shuang’ er’s family was wealthy, but now that he saw that they had power and that his brother-in-law and the Emperor were sworn brothers, he could be considered to have climbed up the social ladder.
“Yes, Brother Shuisheng is good to everyone. We escaped from the Peach Blossom Cove. We would have died if it weren’t for Brother Shuisheng and Sister Su Qing. When we reached Mo City, he and Sister Su Qing found a way for everyone to live. The villagers who came out of the Peach Blossom Cove live a good life.”
Li Shuang ‘er nodded and told her husband about their encounter. To be honest, although they did not lack food and clothing now, they still missed the days when they fled with Brother Shuisheng and Sister Su Qing.
While Xiao Zeyu was thinking of ways to save Li Daniu, Xiao Ying cared for Yeluchun by his bedside. On the other hand, Su Qing was galloping back.
When she was resting by the river, she found golden sand. Su Qing noted the location and asked someone to come and mine it when she returned.
This piece of land belonged to the Western Region, but the Western Region was simply too big. Deserts were everywhere, and this river was in the middle of the desert. No one cared about it at all. Although they had crossed the line by coming to mine, no one cared.
With this gold mine, the Great Tang Empire would be even more prosperous, and the people’s lives would be even better.
Su Qing let Dahei drink some water by the river. She sat on the ground in the desert and ate. Because she had to hurry, she bought mutton skewers, roasted buns, and spicy soup when she left Kashi. She bought many of these, enough for her to eat along the way.
The spicy soup was hot when it was put into the system. She had bought a pot of soup from others. When she ate it, she only needed to scoop a bowl. The spicy soup scooped out was boiling at the same temperature as when it was put in.
The grilled buns were also placed into the system right after they were out of the oven. When they were taken out, they were steaming hot. The grilled buns were incredibly fragrant when eaten hot. The outer skin was crispy, and the mutton filling was enough to make the soup come out with a bite. The fragrance danced in her mouth after drinking a mouthful of the spicy soup. It was incredibly delicious.
She ate and drank to her heart’s content, then pulled the ewe out of the system. Every day, she had to feed Li’er. When the ewe saw Su Qing, it would take the initiative to stand still and let Su Qing milk it.
The goat’s milk that had just been squeezed out was hot. Su Qing carried Li’er out of the system to feed him milk. This milk bottle was exchanged with the system using one skill point. It was a significant loss, but for the sake of the child, she also accepted the loss.
Li’er was especially happy when he saw Su Qing opening his little pink mouth and chatting with her.
Li’er was very good-looking. He had a pink little face, and his facial features combined the strengths of Xiao Ying and Yeluchun. Big eyes, small mouth, and even two small dimples. When he smiled sweetly, it was simply too healing.
Su Qing hugged Li’er and fed him milk. She thought of her two children, Ziqi and Yun’er. She and Shuisheng had wandered for so long. Did they miss their parents?
At this moment, the two children Su Qing missed had caused a stir in the palace!
