Xiao Jiuyuan came forward and helped the Empress Dowager sit down. He sat in front of the Empress Dowager’s bed, held her hand, and said gently,
“Mother, you should take care of your body in the future. Don’t worry about other things.”
“This widow knows, but I can’t help but worry.”
The Empress Dowager reached out to hold Xiao Jiuyuan’s hand. Xiao Jiuyuan found that his mother’s hand had become much thinner.
He remembered that not long ago, his mother was still very fat. But when did his mother become so thin?
Xiao Jiuyuan’s heart couldn’t help but ache. He knew that his mother could have lived a happy life.
As the Empress Dowager and respected by her brother, she could have been pampered for the rest of her life, but because of him, she was worried.
He was still so thin now.
Xiao Jiuyuan felt guilty. He looked down at the Empress Dowager’s hand and slowly came up with an idea.
He raised his head and said to the Empress Dowager.
“Mother, your son knows what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, your son won’t make things difficult for you in the future. I know what Imperial brother is worried about. Although I always said that I wouldn’t steal his throne, he was still worried.”
“This time, I have decided. After I marry Yu ‘er, I will take her away from the capital. From now on, I will no longer care about anything in the court. I will also disband the 20000 soldiers under me and let them live their own lives.”
After Xiao Jiuyuan finished speaking, the Empress Dowager’s eyes became wet and she looked up at Xiao Jiuyuan.
“Yuan ‘er, mother feels uneasy when you’re like this.”
“It’s fine. I also don’t want to stay in the capital anymore. I’m tired of staying in the capital. It’s just nice to take Yu ‘er to tour the mountains and rivers and live a leisurely life. ”
After saying that, Xiao Jiuyuan looked up at Yun Qianyu and said,””Yu ‘er, if you didn’t have the title of li Princess Consort, would you still marry me?”
Yun Qianyu chuckled. She couldn’t wait to live a leisurely life.
Do you think I love the identity of Princess Chongli that much?”
Xiao Jiuyuan laughed. He knew that Yu ‘er didn’t care about the false reputation at all.
That’s right, he’ll take Yu ‘er away from the capital and tour the mountains and rivers first. When they’re tired, he’ll establish a sect with Yu’ er.
Live the life he wanted to live.
The more Xiao Jiuyuan thought about it, the more beautiful he became. He turned to the Empress Dowager and said,””Mother, don’t worry. After our wedding, I will leave the capital. This way, Imperial brother will not think too much.”
The Empress Dowager shed silent tears and said in a choked voice,””Yuan-er, you’re a good child. Mother has made things difficult for you.”
Xiao Jiuyuan was trying to persuade his mother.
Unexpectedly, outside the hall, a eunuch’s voice rang out,””The Emperor has arrived.”
The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the bedroom, and soon someone came in.
The leader of the group was the Emperor. When the old Emperor saw that the Empress Dowager had woken up, he only spoke indifferently,””Mother is awake.”
The Empress Dowager opened her mouth to speak, but the Emperor had already ignored her. He looked at Xiao Jiuyuan and Yun Qianyu and said,”
“Now you’ve caused trouble. You should solve the problem yourself. Otherwise, you will be scolded to death by the people of Dongli.”
Both Xiao Jiuyuan and Yun Qianyu frowned.
The Emperor said quickly.
“Earlier, I received an urgent dispatch from 800 li to the capital, saying that the Crown Prince of Nanzhao, Zhuge Jin, has transferred 100000 troops from the border to attack King Nanyang’s Qingping County from the Phoenix Ridge. The Phoenix Ridge is the border between Dongli and Nanzhao. It is a very dangerous place, but the terrain is favorable to Nanzhao.”
“That’s because the Hongdong Lake is located upstream of the Phoenix Ridge. If Zhuge Jin and his men blow up the Hongdong Lake and let the water flow into Qingping County, Qingping County and the surrounding counties will be flooded.”
