After finishing the meal, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Su Yue and the ghost girl played with Ouyang Qingqing for a while before putting him to sleep.
Su Yue, who returned to the room, still had some energy, so she went to the space to prepare her medicine. It was already very late when she came out.
Just as she was about to go to bed to rest, she heard a familiar "click" sound. She was stunned for a moment and did not react. Then the second "click" sound sounded. Su Yue raised the corners of her lips and trotted to open the door.
Seeing the familiar person outside the door, Su Yue ran towards Xiao Han regardless of whether Xiao Yi was still there.
The corners of Xiao Han's lips curled up, and he opened his arms to hug the person.
Xiao looked at the two of them with his mouth wide open, and immediately turned his back when he realized what was happening. "See no evil, see no evil."
The two hugged each other tightly, and no one spoke. After a long time, Su Yue finally said in a muffled voice, "Why have you been gone for so long?"
Xiao Han's chin rested on the top of her hair, "I'm sorry, I'm late."
Su Yue pinched the soft flesh on his waist angrily. Xiao Han stiffened and his voice became a little deeper, "Don't make trouble."
"Humph, I clearly agreed that I would come back with my grandmother after the Chinese New Year. I even went back to Baiyun Mountain, but I hurriedly arrived here and you weren't here yet. Moreover, you didn't even mention it to me in the letter. , you did it on purpose, deliberately hiding it from me."
Listening to the little girl's soft accusation, Xiao Han's expression was very enjoyable, "I'm afraid you're worried."
Su Yue raised her head dissatisfied, "But in the end, I'm still worried, right?"
"Yes, it's my fault."
Su Yue came out of his arms, took two steps away, and looked at him with her hands folded across her chest, her expression fierce.
Xiao Han looked at his empty arms and felt a little uncomfortable, "Ahem, really, I know I was wrong."
"Not only that, you also kept everyone from telling me where you went."
Xiao Han looked embarrassed, this was really what he asked for.
"This is very bad behavior, you know?"
"I know, it's my fault."
"It's pretty quick to admit my mistake, but why do I feel like you're not in my heart at all?" Su Yu pinched his chest with his fingers.
Xiao Han immediately grabbed the restless little hand, "I really know that I was wrong. I will never do this next time. I promise not to hide anything from you, okay?"
Su Yue snorted coldly, "I'll trust you for now."
Xiao Han took her hand and led her to her room, "It's cold at night, go in and stay."
The two of them had just taken a few steps when Xiao Han saw the jade pendant hanging on Su Yue's waist, and the smile on his lips became even bigger.
"Tell me, why did the Northern Territory retreat? What did you do?" Su Yue looked at Xiao Han with wide eyes like a curious baby.
Xiao Han smiled helplessly, "It's so late at night and you're in such good spirits. Are you still interested in listening to this?"
"I haven't been busy lately. I've been reading medical books all day long, just checking on a few wounded people, and nothing else. Oh, please tell me."
Xiao Han laughed, "Okay, I'll tell you."
Xiao Yi, who was waiting outside the door, shrank his neck. His master had entered the house, but he was still blowing the cold wind outside. This master was really serious. How could we still have a conversation after what time it was? It's too pitiful for a person like him who has an empty stomach to endure the cold wind.
Huh? The master doesn't seem to have eaten yet. Isn't he hungry? Then he shook his head again. With the princess here, what else could he eat? Just looking at it must have been so sweet that it felt so sweet to his heart. Hey, the most pitiable thing is that I am a lonely person.
Su Yue in the room was extremely shocked after hearing the whole story. This Queen Mother is really a cruel person.
"So the ancients said that it is better to offend a villain than a woman. This is the truth."
Xiao Han chuckled and flicked her forehead, "You are a woman too."
Su Yue raised her head, "Then I have to seek truth from facts. What about now, what's going on in the Northern Territory."
"It's nothing. Fighting is out of the question. The court affairs are enough for them to deal with. The descendant of the former royal family probably wants to blackmail the emperor and order the princes..."
"How can you coerce the emperor to order the princes? Isn't the Northern Emperor dying? None of his princes are left."
"Before I left, I learned that he secretly protected a concubine of the Northern Emperor, saying that she was pregnant."
"real or fake?"
"Based on what I know about this person, it's probably fake."
"Then how could the court recognize him?"
"The Queen Mother is charging ahead. At this time, the emperor is unconscious, and the only one who can make decisions is the Queen Mother."
"So, do you think they can do this?"
"pretty close."
Su Yue sighed, it's really hard to figure out such a person, they really do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
Seeing that it was too late, Xiao Han touched her head and said, "It's too late. Let's rest first."
Su Yue was actually quite energetic, but when she saw the black and blue eyes under Xiao Han's eyes, she said, "Well, there are still rooms in the inn. You can go and have some rest. I'll go..."
"Stop working so hard. Xiao Yi and the others are here, so you can rest early."
Su Yue's eyes softened, "Okay."
Xiao Yi, who had been blowing in the cold wind for a long time, was so excited that tears filled his eyes when he saw Xiao Han coming out. He was almost starving, and his master finally came out.
Early the next morning, the imperial edict from Kyoto arrived.
The Su Jiajun also started preparing to return to Kyoto. Su Yi looked at his eldest brother with some embarrassment, "Brother, this?"
Su Li waved his hand, he had already been mentally prepared, "The arrangement between the emperor and father is the most appropriate. We just have to obey orders."
"But..." You haven't been back to Kyoto for many years. Su Yi's eyes grew hot.
Su Li patted his shoulder and said, "When you return to Beijing this time, you should fulfill your filial piety to my mother for me. You don't have to worry about the rest."
"I will definitely do this. Otherwise, brother, I will stay at the border while you lead the army back to Kyoto. I will write a letter to my father about this. Absolutely..."
Before Su Yi finished speaking, Su Li frowned, "As a general, the first priority is to obey orders. Everything else is secondary. Whether it's you or me, one must stay. Who should stay?" What's the difference? I'm the boss, so I should do these things. Okay, don't worry about mother-in-law and mother-in-law, hurry up and make arrangements, I won't worry about those things, you can arrange them yourself. "
Although Su Yi was unwilling to accept it, he could only accept it and left the main camp tent with a sigh.
A group of people in the inn also received the news. Xiao Han had already made a guess, so there was no surprise.
Su Qian was very frustrated, "I thought everyone could go back to Kyoto this time. I thought..." The Su family could finally be reunited this time.
Su Yu was also a little disappointed like Su Yu, but he quickly adjusted himself, "As generals, this is our responsibility. There is nothing to complain about." As Su Yu is the eldest son and grandson, this will also be his responsibility in the future.
