The dark and stuffy bedroom was filled with the dizzying smell of medicine.

Emperor Jing Xuan lay weakly on the bed.

Ever since he had a stroke, he had been imprisoned in this bedroom under the pretext of recuperating.

His body couldn’t move, but his mind was clear.

Recently, he felt more and more that his life was coming to an end.

“Your Majesty.”

Eunuch Fu came to the bed and reported softly, “The Grand Marshal is here.”

Emperor Jing Xuan opened his mouth and said in an extremely hoarse voice, “All of you, retreat.”

“Yes.”

Eunuch Fu left with two trusted eunuchs serving the medicine.

The man in black only brought Qin Canglan to the door before flying to the roof to hide.

Qin Canglan walked in and saw the withered Emperor Jing Xuan on the bed.

Emperor Jing Xuan also saw him.

Qin Canglan returned wearing armor and holding a helmet in his arms. Although his hair was gray, he was strong.

Emperor Jing Xuan sadly realized that he could not compare to an old man in his twilight years.

“Your Majesty.”

Qin Canglan cupped his fists and bowed calmly.

Emperor Jing Xuan said weakly, “You’re finally back.”

He spoke extremely slowly and his words were not very clear. This was the aftereffect of a stroke.

“I don’t have much time left.”

“Did Your Majesty summon me to say farewell to me?”

Emperor Jing Xuan was stunned. He probably did not expect Qin Canglan to not even flatter him.

That was true. Longevity was just a saying. How many emperors in the past dynasties could die of old age?

“I have something to tell you.”

“I’m all ears.”

“Qin Canglan, if the Wei family wants to rebel, will you protect the Xiao family?”

Qin Canglan looked at Emperor Jing Xuan steadily. “The country belongs to the people. I’ve never protected the Xiao family or any family. It’s the rivers of the Great Zhou and thousands of commoners I protect. As long as I’m alive, I’ll work hard for the people for a day. Don’t worry, Your Majesty.”

Emperor Jing Xuan laughed until tears streamed down his face. “You’re not even willing to lie.”

Qin Canglan did not answer.

Emperor Jing Xuan continued, “Do you still remember… the engagement that the late emperor set for the two families?”

Qin Canglan paused and said, “I remember.”

Emperor Jing Xuan said, “Alright, Qin Canglan, accept the decree.”

–

Wei Ting returned to the capital with Qin Canglan. He was also there when Qin Canglan was intercepted by Emperor Jing Xuan’s secret guards.

He was waiting for Qin Canglan at the entrance of the palace.

Su Cheng and Su Ergou also rushed over from the Protectorate.

The father and son were squatting beside the carriage and drawing circles.

Su Ergou muttered, “His Majesty is too insensible. Which emperor doesn’t let the general go home to see his children first?”

After not seeing his grandfather for so long, Su Ergou almost missed him to death.

Su Cheng also missed his father.

A child with a father was a treasure.

Well… it was good to have a father-in-law. His father-in-law held gold ingots.

Su Ergou continued to draw circles. “I’m so tall. Will Grandpa not recognize me?”

“No,” Su Cheng said. “Little Blackie, he will be able to tell at first sight that it’s you.”

Su Ergou muttered, “Are you still my biological father? ”

Wei Ting looked at the resentful father and son and wondered if he should enter the palace to take a look when Qin Canglan came out.

“Dad!”

“Grandfather!”

The father and son spoke in unison.

“I saw him first!”

Su Ergou threw away the charcoal pen in his hand and ran towards Qin Canglan excitedly. “Grandpa!”

Su Cheng, who was a step slower, gritted his teeth.

The young brat ran faster than him. Back in the countryside, he could outrun ten of him.

His little butt had grown up…

Su Cheng immediately said to Wei Ting, “Son-in-law!”

Wei Ting understood and raised his eyebrows. He brought Su Cheng along using Meteor Step and left Su Ergou far behind.

The two of them came to Qin Canglan.
