I looked at him, and after a long time, I whispered: "Qingchen..."

As soon as he heard me call him, a nearly happy smile immediately appeared on his face that was so thin that he had lost his shape. Even his bottomless eyes made a little gentle ripples like spring water. His eyes bent slightly and looked at me intently, as if he wanted to engrave my figure into his heart.

I slowly squatted down and reached out to support his wheelchair. Seeing his skinny appearance, I felt a sense of sorrow in my heart and said softly: "How could I be so thin?"

But he looked at me with a smile, as if it had nothing to do with him: "I'm fine."

“…”

"Sister, I'm fine, I've been waiting for you to come back."

As he said, he reached out and gently covered the back of my hand. The palm was covered with cold sweat. Although I subconsciously wanted to pull it back, looking at his haggard face, I did not avoid him, and let him slowly hold my hand tightly.

There was a smile on the corners of his eyes, and he pinched my fingers and said, "Sister must be very tired when he comes back all the way, right? I have asked someone to clean my sister's room and prepare everything. Do you want to go and rest for a while? I'll take you there."

After saying that, he held my hand and walked forward slowly.

Just now, I could see many servants busying back and forth outside, but after walking through this corridor, I felt that the surroundings were very quiet, with only the sound of a wheelchair rolling across the ground and my footsteps. Aunt Hong did not retreat, but followed from a distance. After walking for a while, she arrived in my room.

Here, as he said, it was probably because people were sent to clean up, spotless, and even lit incense. There was no such thing as air conditioning that had not been left without the owner for a long time. When I walked in, it seemed as if I had just left the inside.

I walked in slowly and reached out and brushed the smooth desktop.

Although this Yan family host carries many memories of me, if you think about it carefully, I actually spent only a short period of my life here, but every time I come back here, my life has undergone a major turning point.

When I came back for the first time, Pei Yuanxiu and I got married and wanted to come back to find Miaoyan.

The second time I returned here, I got separated from him.

And now-

"elder sister."

Just when I was in a daze and almost fell into my own emotions and couldn't extricate myself, Yan Qingchen's gentle voice suddenly woke me up again. I turned my head and walked the wheelchair to the table. A maid had already brought refreshments.

He said, "Sister has something to eat first."

"Um."

I sat down obediently, and he ordered someone to go down and prepare bath soup. He also specifically instructed to add more medicinal herbs, so my face looked too pale.

Although he said this, I know very well that my health is not bad. After all, I have been with Qinghan these days, and he is responsible for the big things. But Yan Qingchen is different. When I came back and saw him this time, I lost almost so much of a person.

In my opinion, he is the one who needs to be supplemented.

So I asked softly, "Qingchen, you--"

He raised his hand to stop me from asking, and said, "If my sister is worried about me, there is no need. I'm fine."

It was a decisive thing, but I had no room for talking.

I think he doesn't want to show weakness in front of me.

So I didn't ask any more questions, lowered my head and drank a little tea, felt a little more comfortable, and then whispered: "I just came back from the academy, you should already know what happened to the academy."

He looked at me without blinking, and said, "I know everything."

"Then—the emperor should enter Xichuan soon."

"The news from Jiange will be sent back every day."

"Then, have you thought about it?"

A little light flashed in his dark eyes: "What are you worried about in my sister? Worrying that I can't handle this?"

I shook my head and said, "I have never doubted whether you can deal with this. Now, the emperor has no choice, but we still have it now. However, any of our choices will affect the entire Xichuan, so we must be very cautious."

He smiled calmly: "Of course."

I didn't think of him saying anything, but he didn't want to tell him what he planned immediately. The two of them just talked lightly for a few words, and the maid came to report that the things were ready, and he asked me to clean them first, make them more comfortable before resting.

So, Aunt Hong took me over.

A whole pool of warm bath soup was waiting for me, with no petals, but it exuded a strong fragrance of medicine. When I took off my clothes and walked in slowly, I felt so comfortable that I couldn't help but sigh.

Aunt Hong was waiting by the pond to pack my clothes, and at this time she also smiled: "Miss, I'm afraid she's exhausted all the way."

“…”

"I finally came back, so I must raise it well. Look at you, I have lost a lot of weight."

"I don't," I said, and turned around and asked, "Aunt Hong, what's wrong with him?"

Aunt Hong immediately understood that I was asking Qingchen. She sighed and said, "The head of the family has indeed suffered a lot. At that time, I don't know what kind of medicine is in his body. In addition, the wife passed away and the eldest lady was kidnapped again. At that time, she really lost half of her life, but there were still people who made trouble. The head of the family forced to suppress the matter and returned from Gantang Village, and the people were not getting better."

“…”

"I'm going to tell the girl that at that time, everything was ready."

When my heart trembled when I heard Aunt Hong say this.

When Wei Yang went to Xishan Academy to talk to me about those things, he focused on the troubles of Uncle Wu and the others. He only mentioned a few words about Qingchen's affairs. Now I realize that it was not so light.

Even Aunt Hong had to prepare his funeral for him, which shows how dangerous the situation was at that time.

Aunt Hong said softly again: "I hired many doctors and finally saved my life, but he was in a bad state. In this way, most of it has collapsed."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "..."

"At that time, I felt that I was afraid that the sky in Xichuan would collapse."

Speaking of this, she choked up and gently wiped the corners of her eyes.

I was also sad. Yan Qingchen's existence was nothing more than the emperor's world to the Yan family and Xichuan. Now that the Central Plains are in constant war, the people of Xichuan are even more worried. His every move is enough to shock everyone.

I patted Aunt Hong's hand and said softly: "Don't worry, Qingchen won't just leave Xichuan alone, the sky cannot fall."

Aunt Hong whispered: "You can feel more at ease if the eldest lady comes back."

I comforted her a few more words before Aunt Hong calmed down and carefully wiped my back and arms with a towel. I asked, "Are you only Qingchen left in the house these days? Where is Ruoyu?"

Aunt Hong said, "That happened to the fifth master, of course Miss Ruoyu is going back."

"Is it her who is the butler?"

"It's not her turn to housekeeper, the head of the family sent someone over."

I nodded gently.

My aunt is right. No matter how capable Yan Ruoyu is or how scheming he is, now it is not even time for a woman to be the head of the family.

Aunt Hong said again: "But she should come here too."

"She? Are you talking about Ruoyu?"

"Yes."

"What did she come here to do?"

"There is more than her. From the past few days, all the patriarchs of the big family that could be called in Shu have presented a greeting to the Yan family, and they are all coming. It seems that it should be here in just a few days."

“…”

I didn't say anything, just looked at the rippling waves in front of me.

From a time perspective, that is, the discussion of Xishan Academy ended. After the students left, it was obvious that these people already knew the content and results of the discussion, so they naturally had to respond accordingly.

The atmosphere of peace talks has been completely created, and on the spiritual level, Nan Zhenyi has done what he can do.

So, what we need to do next is to unify the power of Xichuan.

This is the most critical and dangerous move.

I soaked in the bathtub and was actually very tired when I got up. Aunt Hong immediately asked someone to tidy up the mattress and serve me to go to bed, but I grabbed her hand and asked, "Where is the madam's spiritual position?"

Aunt Hong was stunned: "In the room before the wife."

"Take me over and I want to burn incense."

When she heard me say this, Aunt Hong's eyes turned red again, but she didn't say anything, but just hurriedly ordered a few people and then took me slowly over.

When I arrived at Xue Qian's previous room, it was cleaned very clean, but because there was no one living there, it seemed particularly cold. When I pushed the door in, the wind poured into the room, causing the veil inside to flutter, like an invisible ghost flying in the air.

Her spiritual position was placed on the table in the center of the room.

I walked up, respectfully bowed and kowtowed to her spiritual position three times and nine times, and then burned incense.

Aunt Hong followed her and hurriedly took the incense from my hand and inserted it into the incense burner. When she turned around, she saw my pale face and red eyes. She hurried over to support me: "Miss, don't be too sad, madam, you will feel sad if you look at me."

If this sentence was said before, probably everyone thought it was a joke, but after passing through Gantang Village, I also understood that Xue Qian's feelings for me have never been superficial, but in the end she went to kill Pei Yuanxiu and died for me, in order not to let me get in a dilemma.

I think I owe her too much.

Seeing me becoming more and more sad, Aunt Hong was worried that I would not be able to bear it, so she helped me up with death and asked someone to close the door. She comforted me with a soft voice for a long time, and then said, "Miss, don't be too sad when I came back just now. If the sky in Xichuan really collapses, everyone is still counting on you and the head of the family to carry the side."

After hearing her say this, I swallowed all my tears.

Aunt Hong said again: "You might as well go and rest first. Look at you, your eyes are red."
