Brother returned home to visit his brother in danger.

The two replied, "We understand."

Upon hearing this, Han Sheng said, "Just follow me."

Then Han Sheng began to descend the mountain quickly with her superb lightness skill. Her figure was light and graceful, like a fairy, and the veil on her face made her even more mysterious.

Upon seeing this, Li Xingyi and Qingyi immediately used their lightness skills to catch up, and the three of them leaped one after another in perfect unison, like a line.

That night, the three finally arrived. Han Sheng said, "Remember what you need to say before you say it."

Li Xingyi and Qingyi replied, "Disciples understand."

Although it was night, it was only just past midnight. The diverse crowd on the street made the three figures stand out, and passersby couldn't help but glance at them.

The Li family was a prominent and wealthy household. Although the mansion was not very large, it was not small either. The gate was black, and the two large characters "Li Mansion" were prominently displayed above it.

Seeing her home again after so long, Li Xingyi was deeply moved. She stepped forward, raised her hand, and knocked on the door.

A series of knocking sounds came from inside, and soon after, someone inside said, "Coming."

With a creak, the door opened, and the servant looked the three of them over. He felt that the tall and slender Han Sheng looked familiar. After thinking for a moment, he immediately clapped his hands and said, "Oh! It's you!"

Then, looking at the two people beside her, as if he knew something, he immediately turned around and shouted, "Master and Madam! Miss and Qingyi are back!"

After a moment of silence, there was a commotion inside, clearly startled by everyone in the mansion. Then, Li Fengtan and Li Yunsheng rushed towards the door without stopping. Although Li Xingyi was wearing a veil, Li Yunsheng recognized him at a glance.

Li Yunsheng's eyes were already red, and she couldn't hold back any longer when she saw Li Xingyi. She ran towards Li Xingyi with tears in her eyes, no longer caring about being dignified and gentle, only knowing that her daughter had returned.

Seeing this, Li Xingyi could no longer hold back her tears. She ran towards Li Yunsheng, tears streaming down her face and wetting her veil. "Mother!"

Just like when he had just learned to walk, little Li Xingyi smiled and wobbled towards Li Yunsheng, saying "Mother."

The mother and daughter were finally reunited. Li Yunsheng knelt down and hugged Li Xingyi tightly, saying, "My daughter, you're finally back."

At this moment, Li Xingyi was just a child, a child who missed his mother, nothing more.

Seeing this scene, Li Fengtan and the others couldn't help but shed tears. Qingyi wiped away her tears and said, "Miss..."

Han Sheng lowered his eyes slightly upon seeing this, his heart moved. He then gently patted Qing Yi and said, "Go in."

After everyone went inside, Han Sheng closed the door behind her, glanced at the sky, turned and entered the alley. Then she climbed onto a higher rooftop to observe the Li residence. She was now dressed in black, with her hair tied in a ponytail and her face covered by black clothing, sitting on the bricks and tiles.

Looking at the mother and daughter who were crying uncontrollably, Li Fengtan quickly wiped away his tears and stepped forward, saying, "Yunsheng, Xingyi, get up. Stop crying, or your eyes will hurt."

The two then slowly fell silent. Li Xingyi's veil was already soaked with tears. She lifted the veil and wiped away her tears. She subconsciously wanted to look at Han Sheng, but when she turned around, she found that only Qingyi was left. Qingyi also looked around and realized that Han Sheng was gone.

As Qingyi lifted her veil, she suddenly felt something extra around her waist. Looking down, she saw a small bottle tied to her waist and asked in confusion, "Hmm? When did this happen?"

Upon taking it down, she saw the words "Rejuvenation Pill" written on it. It seemed somewhat familiar. Qingyi immediately went to Li Xingyi's side and whispered, "Miss, this was probably left for you by the sect leader."

Li Xingyi took the Rejuvenation Pill and examined it, feeling extremely grateful.

Master, thank you.

Li Xingyi asked Li Fengtan, "Father, where is my brother now?"

Upon hearing this, Li Fengtan looked sorrowful and sighed, "Yanzhang is in his room now, but I don't know how much longer he can hold on?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xingyi immediately ran to Li Yanzhang's room based on his memory. Pushing open the door, the first thing he saw was Li Yanzhang lying sickly on the bed.

"Xingyi?" Hearing the voice, he realized that there was a little boy sitting by the bed. It was Ji Xi.

Ji Xi exclaimed happily, "Xingyi, you're back! You're really back!"

He became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes brimming with undisguised joy, and he even seemed to share a similar look with Gongsun Dou.

Li Xingyi didn't think too much about it; she just wanted to feed her brother the medicine as quickly as possible. She stepped forward and poured the medicine while saying, "Brother Ji, please go and get some water. Zizheng, please help my brother up."

Although Ji Xi didn't know what Li Xingyi was going to do, he still obediently went to get it.

Li Xingyi held the medicine in one hand and pinched Li Yanzhang's cheeks on both sides of his mouth with the other, making him open his mouth, and put the medicine in his mouth. He then took the water that Ji Xi brought.

He fed Li Yanzhang water, saying, "Brother, swallow it."

Li Yanzhang vaguely heard those words and subconsciously swallowed.

Li Xingyi felt anxious seeing that Li Yanzhang still showed no signs of waking up.

At this moment, Li Yunsheng stood at the door and asked in confusion, "Xingyi, what did you feed Yanzhang?"

Li Xingyi was stunned for a moment.

I haven't figured out how to say it yet, what should I do?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Li Yunsheng asked, "Star Shift?"

Seeing this, Qingyi explained, "Madam, Miss met a traveling doctor on her way back. This medicine was given to her by that doctor. Miss was really worried about the young master, so she thought of giving it a try."

After hearing this, Li Yunsheng said, "Let's take a look then, it's better than having no way out."

Li Xingyi replied, "Mm."

"By the way, Mother, what's wrong with my brother?" she asked, puzzled.

“This…” Li Yunsheng looked at Li Fengtan.

Li Fengtan sighed and said, "During the winter hunt in December, Yan Zhang was suddenly attacked by assassins. There were many of them, and Yan Zhang was shot with an arrow. He then rolled down a cliff and was found unconscious."

Li Yunsheng cried and said, "What sins has our Li family committed? First Xingyi, then Yanzhang. Why are you forcing my Li family like this? If there is any misfortune, I, Li Yunsheng, am willing to suffer in place of my children."

Li Fengtan quickly said, "Yunsheng, how could you think like that?"

He hugged Li Yunsheng and said, "Yanzhang will definitely be alright."

Li Xingyi looked at them and asked, "Father, do you know who sent these people?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room fell silent, and the sensible butler led the servants away.

Seeing this, Li Fengtan spoke softly, "Empress..."

Li Xingyi was startled, then stunned. She asked, "Why? Why would she do that?"

Li Fengtan said, "Xingyi, she has become somewhat insane, and His Majesty has ordered her to be confined to her quarters."

Confinement? It's the same old story. It's the same with my aunt's case, and the same with my brother's. Only when someone dies will the king take action. He misjudged the last case, and now it's going to be the same again?

What's the point of this ineffective punishment? If my brother dies, what use is her punishment? My aunt was right after all.

The most ruthless thing is... the heart of an emperor.

Her upbringing prevented Li Xingyi from yelling, so she could only express it in her heart.

I... will probably grow to hate monarchs more and more.

Looking at Li Xingyi, whose eyes were cold, Li Fengtan felt that she was a little unfamiliar. Although she was still cold, she was different. She used to be a snowflake, but now she was a block of ice.

Li Yunsheng said, "Xingyi, don't worry, His Majesty has already sent someone to treat him."

Li Xingyi lowered his eyes.

Since that's the case, I have no choice but to fight you, Your Majesty.

After all, no matter what, your Shi family harmed two of my closest relatives. How can I not retaliate?

"Cough! Thirsty..." This sound broke the silence in the room, startling everyone.

Li Xingyi quickly looked at Li Yanzhang and saw that Li Yanzhang's brows were furrowed and his face was in pain. Although he had not yet woken up, at least there seemed to be some hope.

Upon seeing this, Li Fengtan immediately said, "Quick! Call the imperial physician to take a look!"

Because it was Shi Hui who did it, Qi Lie specially sent an imperial physician to treat her as an apology.

"Yes!" Zizheng immediately ran to the table after hearing this. Li Fengtan quickly walked to the table, poured water, and then personally fed Li Yanzhang the water.

Li Yunsheng grasped Li Yanzhang's hand, her voice trembling with tears, and said, "Yanzhang, wake up, it's your mother, your mother is here, Xingyi has returned, wake up."

Li Fengtan couldn't bear to see Li Yunsheng like this, so he pulled her to sit down at the table and said, "Yunsheng, if you cry until you go blind, how will you face Yanzhang when he wakes up?"

He sighed and gently wiped away Li Yunsheng's tears.

"Clatter, clatter, clatter!" Just then, Zizheng arrived with the imperial physician. The two were panting, indicating they had rushed over quickly.

Li Yanzhang stood up and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

When Li Xingyi saw that people had arrived, he could only stand aside and wait for the result.

"You're too kind, sir." The imperial physician slung his medical kit over his shoulder, walked to Li Yanzhang's bedside, placed the kit on the ground, and sat down.

The imperial physician reached out to take the pulse, and the only sound in the room was the nervous swallowing of saliva.

After a long while, the imperial physician's expression changed from serious to relaxed. He stood up and said, "My lord, there is no need to worry. The young master's body was severely injured and agitated. Even if I treat the wounds, it will be difficult to make the young master regain consciousness."

"However, after taking your pulse just now, young master, you should be able to wake up tomorrow after resting well."

Everyone was relieved, and Li Fengtan breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "That's good."

The weight lifted from Li Xingyi's heart.

The imperial physician, bowing respectfully, asked, "Sir, may I ask what you fed the young master, or what you did to make him recover?"

“This…” Li Fengtan glanced at Li Xingyi. Seeing this, Qingyi gently touched Li Xingyi’s hand and whispered, “Miss, hide well, I’ll handle this.”

Upon hearing this, Li Xingyi moved closer to Zizheng and Ji Xi. Qingyi stepped forward and bowed to the imperial physician, saying, "This servant greets Your Excellency. I am Miss Xingyi's personal maid. I have returned this time only to visit the young master on behalf of Miss."

"On the way, we met a traveling doctor who gave us medicine, which helped the young master recover."

Upon hearing this, the imperial physician turned around and said, "I see. May I ask what the name of the medicine is?"

Qingyi pondered deeply.

It might be inappropriate not to know the name of the medicine, so to be on the safe side, let's just say its herbal name.

“Its name is sweet flag,” she said.

After listening, the imperial physician thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... Acorus calamus has the effects of clearing the orifices and resolving phlegm, refreshing the mind and improving intelligence, and resolving dampness and stimulating appetite."

Then, as if suddenly enlightened, he clapped his hands excitedly and exclaimed, "How come I didn't think of that before?!"

The imperial physician immediately smiled and said to Li Fengtan, "My lord, please rest well. I'll be going now."

Li Fengtan said, "Ah, alright, someone, escort the imperial physician out."

Upon hearing this, the servants hurriedly stepped forward and led the imperial physician out. Only then did Li Xingyi step forward, cup his hands, and say, "Father, Mother, please do not reveal to others that your son has returned."

Li Fengtan asked, puzzled, "Why is that?"

Li Xingyi's eyes flickered slightly.

After a long silence, she said, "I need to rest and don't want to be in the limelight."

This means that Li Xingyi hasn't really returned yet; he still has to leave.

Li Yunsheng immediately stepped forward, grasped Li Xingyi's hand, and asked with concern, "Xingyi, how are you feeling? Why aren't you fully recovered yet?"
