Xiao Zeyu saw Xiao Ying’s face lose all color, and she was in so much pain that she couldn’t speak. Xiao Zeyu quickly checked his sister’s pulse and found that her pulse was beating violently. He quickly found the medicine Su Qing left behind and gave Xiao Ying a few pills.
These pills were specially used to treat heart diseases, but they were not meant to cure them completely. They could only be taken when the disease acted up so that they would not die suddenly and alleviate the condition.
Xiao Ying’s face gradually regained color after taking the medicine, and the pain in her heart eased a lot. She sat weakly on the chair and looked at her brother apologetically.
“Brother, I’ve made you worry.”
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Xiao Zeyu saw that his sister was still blaming herself for being sick, and his heart ached, and he was angry.
“I don’t want you and Sister-in-law to worry.”
Xiao Ying shook her head. She felt that she had already caused a lot of trouble for her brother and sister-in-law. How dangerous must it have been during Li’er’s sickness for the sister-in-law to run off to the Western Regions to pick snow lotuses?
She didn’t want her sister-in-law to take risks because of her illness, so she kept it a secret and didn’t allow Yelu Chun to tell Xiao Zeyu.
“Don’t you think that if anything happens to you, your sister-in-law and I will be heartbroken?”
Xiao Zeyu’s eyes reddened when he heard his sister’s reason. Xiao Ying always thought of others and put herself at the back.
“Come here, greet your aunt.”
Xiao Zeyu called Yun’ er and Zi Song over. Yun’ er obediently gave Xiao Ying a deep bow.
“Greetings, aunt.”
Yun’ er looked at her aunt with admiration. Her aunt was so good-looking and kind. She felt incredibly close.
“Greetings to Aunt.”
Zi Song greeted his aunt with a loud voice. The little guy looked at his aunt curiously. She was so young. She was the second most beautiful person after his mother.
When she saw her fair and delicate appearance, Xiao Ying was fond of Yun ‘er. She was also very fond of Zi Song, who had a strong head and brain. She called her two youngest sons over.
“Go pay your respects to your uncle and cousins.”
Xiao Ying had three sons: the eldest son Yelu Hongyi; the second son Yelu Hongqing; and the youngest son, Yelu Hongji.
Yelu Hongqing and Yelu Hongji were dressed in Tartan’s clothing. They had thick eyebrows and a high nose bridge. The three brothers all took after their father’s appearance. None of them looked like their mother.
The two little ones heard their mother’s instructions and came over to bow to Xiao Zeyu. They gave a big bow from the Tartan Kingdom and were very respectful to Xiao Zeyu.
“Haha, good, good. Uncle has prepared gifts for you all.”
Xiao Zeyu liked his nephews so much that he gave each of them a pistol. These pistols were good for self-defense. They were small and easy to carry around. They could save the child’s life in times of danger.
“Uncle, how do I use this?”
The two little ones liked the gift from their uncle very much. They flipped it over and over to look at it. They even used their hands to pull the trigger. They simply couldn’t put it down.
“Use it like this.”
Xiao Zeyu gave them a demonstration. He demonstrated the entire process, from loading the bullets to opening the bolt, aiming, and shooting!
“Remember not to point the muzzle at anyone. You can’t open the bolt when you’re not using it. If the bullet is loaded, it will go off accidentally. You can only use it when you’re in danger.”
Xiao Zeyu specifically instructed them to use it for self-defense, but he also felt it was a little dangerous.
“I’ll teach you. Let’s go and find a place with a target.”
Zi Song had finally found a place to put his skills to good use. Su Qing had personally taught him how to shoot, so he was a small sharpshooter with a hundred percent accuracy.
Yelu Hongqing and Yelu Hongji happily went out with their cousin to learn how to shoot. Yelu Hongyi didn’t go. He had already learned how to shoot from Zi Song in the capital and felt that this was the best self-defense weapon.
Yun’ er and Zi Song had gone wild on the grasslands during these three days. Yun’ er especially loved the endless grasslands, the flocks of sheep, and the herds of horses.
The blue sky and white clouds here were also more beautiful than those in the capital. What she loved the most was to lie on the grass and watch the white clouds soar in the sky. She even liked to follow Yelu Hongyi to shoot arrows and hunt.
Zi Song liked the grasslands more than his sister. Boys loved riding horses and hunting the most. The feeling of galloping on a horse on the grasslands was too great.
When Su Qing arrived in Tartan, Yun’ er and Zi Song were both tanned. Hong Yi did his best as a host and took them to play in the beautiful scenery of the grassland. He took them to dance and sing together and watched wrestling together. Zi Song even went to wrestle with the wrestlers of Tartan.
Zi Song was strong, but his skills were not good. However, this kid was smart. He sat cross-legged on the ground and watched wrestling for the entire afternoon. The next day, he became a victorious general.
“Sister-in-law, I miss you so much.”
Su Qing made Xiao Ying extremely happy. She hugged her sister-in-law and did not let go. She acted like a spoiled child. Although she was already in her thirties, her face had no wrinkles. Her eyes were clean and clear, and she was as innocent and cute as before marriage.
“You didn’t listen to me when I told you not to marry so far away!” Su Qing caressed Xiao Ying’s hair.
Yelu Chun lowered his head awkwardly to the side. His eyes were filled with guilt. It was he who didn’t take good care of Xiao Ying.
“Sister-in-law, I’m thrilled here.”
Xiao Ying saw her husband’s guilty look and quickly told Su Qing. Su Qing sighed. She didn’t make Xiao Ying stay back then, so what was she saying now?
Because Yelu Chun kept his promise and didn’t take a concubine, Xiao Ying married the right person.
“I’ll treat you.”
Su Qing was most worried about Xiao Ying’s illness. She pulled Xiao Ying to sit down and took her pulse.
“Your heart disease is so serious; why didn’t you tell me?”
Su Qing asked Xiao Ying angrily after taking her pulse. Xiao Ying lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.
“You know what? Your heart disease is so serious you might lose your life at any time.”
Su Qing was even angrier when she heard Xiao Ying’s words. Xiao Ying’s heart was blocked. In Western medicine, it was called heartache. It was also a symptom of a heart attack. It was hazardous.
“I’ve been taking medicine.”
Xiao Ying was not angry at all after being lectured by her sister-in-law. She lowered her head and replied in a low voice. The palace maids and eunuchs beside her were so scared that they lowered their heads and dared not look up. They all knew that Su Qing was powerful and were afraid that one sentence would anger the female fiend to take their lives.
“I have to treat you here.”
Su Qing let out a breath. The reason why she was angry was because she felt too sorry for Xiao Ying. Her illness could not be cured in a day or two, so she had to stay here and treat her before she could leave.
“Qing’ er, your husband will stay here to accompany you.”
Xiao Zeyu didn’t want to go back either. It wasn’t easy for him to come here, so he naturally wanted to spend more time with his sister.
“What will happen if you stay here?”
Su Qing glanced at Xiao Zeyu. He was a workaholic; approving memorials was more important than anything else.
“I’ve already handed it over to Ziqi. Father-in-law and my grandfather can assist him.”
Xiao Zeyu had deliberately brought his son to the court to approve the memorials. This was an opportunity to train his son to be independent.
In the capital, Ziqi sneezed as he approved the memorial. Who was the one who nagged at him?
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Under Su Qing’s meticulous treatment, Xiao Ying’s heart disease was cured. Not only did Su Qing cure her illness, but she also treated Yelu Chun’s rheumatism and asthma.
Xiao Ying’s illness was cured. Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing decided to return to the capital but encountered a considerable obstacle..
