Chapter 384: Chapter 384: If Soone Else Said This, Would They Be Beheaded?_1 Chapter 384: Chapter 384: If Soone Else Said This, Would They Be Beheaded?_1 It was probably from coughing that Li Wuyu had beco even weaker. At just fifteen years old, she looked extrely pitiable, but she still managed a smile, “I’ve been examined and taken two doses of dicine. My room even slls of it—didn’t my master notice?”
“What did the doctor say about when you’ll recover?” An Jing asked again.
“The doctor said I should be well after taking the dicine for two or three days,” Li Wuyu answered truthfully.
An Jing said, “Then in a couple of days, your master and I will co to see you again.”
Li Wuyu, touched, said, “I appreciate my master and master’s concern.” After a pause, she added, “Master, once I’m well, I must start my journey ho. My father sent a letter recently, and if I don’t return soon, he is going to send soone to forcefully take back.”
“Your father has only you as a daughter, and you’ve been away for months; can you bla him for worrying? Naturally, he hopes for your early return.”
“But if I go back, then and my baby…” Li Wuyu was downcast.
“Fate brings people together over thousands of miles, and yet it can also keep them apart when they’re face-to-face,” An Jing could only offer such consolation.
“Fate brings people together over thousands of miles, and yet it can also keep them apart when they’re face-to-face…” Li Wuyu murmured the phrase three tis before she said to An Jing, “What master said is true.”
Without much conversation, as Li Wuyu needed to rest, An Jing and Xiao Changyi left Li Wuyu’s house and rode back ho.
Not long after they returned ho, ng Zhuqing arrived.
After paying her respects to Xiao Changyi and An Jing, ng Zhuqing said, “The Emperor has a ssage for you, my lord.”
An Jing, surprised, said, “No letter?” Usually ssages from the Emperor and the Crown Prince would be written in letters for them to read.
ng Zhuqing said, “None.” She paused, “The Emperor said he is very angry and does not wish to write letters to my lord anymore. He wrote so many letters, and yet my lord still does not take him seriously, daring to have the governnt granary opened—presumably outrageous.”
An Jing: “…” These childish words, are they really from the current Emperor? Isn’t the current Emperor over fifty years of age?
Xiao Changyi’s expression did not change. He picked up his tea, took his ti drinking a sip, then slowly said, “Tell him, for his birthday, we will be going to the capital to see him.”
ng Zhuqing imdiately said, “The Emperor wishes for the sa. The Emperor said if my lord and lady could visit him in the capital once, he would not be angry anymore.”
An Jing: “…”
After ng Zhuqing left, An Jing asked Xiao Changyi, “Could it be that you’ve t an impostor rather than the real Emperor?” No Emperor could be this childish. All those letters they had received before never gave the impression of such childlike behavior from the Emperor.
Xiao Changyi disdainfully said, “He is just a big kid.”
An Jing: …Wouldn’t others be beheaded for saying such a thing?
“Are you really sure you know the true Emperor of Xiyun Kingdom?” An Jing, still incredulous, asked again.
Xiao Changyi pulled her to sit on his lap, nudged her gently with his forehead for a while, and then said, “Absolutely certain.”
An Jing hugged his neck, her eyes smiling, “As long as it’s true, it’s fine. Otherwise, I’d really be worried not enough heads would roll about.”
Xiao Changyi’s cool lips curved slightly, he affectionately rubbed his forehead against hers before kissing her lips, and then, with a solemn expression, he said, “He is an enlightened monarch.”
An Jing said, “I can see that. Letting you get away with so much without ever punishing you—I’ve noticed.”
Of course, her husband was only unruly, but he never did anything truly bad.
After thinking for a mont, An Jing added, “His birthday is in September. Let’s set off for the capital in August so we can enjoy the journey there.” It would be like a vacation.
“Hmm,” Xiao Changyi had no objections.
