"General Xiao, you're finally awake!"

He closed his eyes in disappointment.

The physical pain is nothing compared to the emotional despair.

Wanwan always called him Guard Xiao, and even addressed him by his full name.

Wanwan's voice was very gentle. When she called his name, the last syllable of her voice carried a hint of coquettishness, with a subtle and lingering tenderness.

He had observed her closely and found that she only did this when she called him.

If he hadn't sent her back to the capital, but instead had taken her away from Jinling, would things have been different?

Su Nan was talking to the imperial physician in the outer room when he heard Su Wanying's voice and came in.

Overwhelmed with emotion: "Thank God, General Xiao was spared!"

"Your father, if he could see from heaven, would surely be pleased."

Xiao Bin's eyelashes fluttered slightly.

Su Nan also knew her father.

Yes, he is that strange woman, Zhou Xiuyu's husband.

Over the next few days, Xiao Bin's body temperature rose again.

The situation has become critical again.

Su Nan, though helpless, solemnly instructed the imperial physician:

"This matter must not be reported to Her Majesty the Empress, otherwise if she makes another mistake, there will be no way to undo it!"

...

Su Wanwan told Yan Ge'er not to go to school today and dressed him in a new set of clothes.

"Your mother is taking you to see someone."

Yan Ge'er felt very heavy-hearted.

"Whom is Mother taking me to see?"

"Go see Uncle Xiao. Do you still remember Uncle Xiao?" Su Wanwan tried to keep her tone light and cheerful.

“When you were little, he always held you, even more than your mother did, and you even peed all over him.”

Yan Ge'er shook his head with a solemn expression.

He doesn't remember.

The furthest thing he could remember was at the Qian family home, where his father helped him carve wood and made him call him "father."

He refused to shout.

I can't find Uncle Xiao in my memory.

Su Wanwan paused.

He knelt down, looked into Yan Ge'er's eyes, and said very sincerely:

"Uncle Xiao is the savior of my mother and Yan'er. He even brought Yan'er back with him."

"You should thank Uncle Xiao properly, okay?"

In Yan Ge'er's memory, there was only that terrible patient whose whole body was wrapped in bandages, and his mother cried hysterically for him.

His father's face was extremely pale, and he squeezed his hand so hard it hurt.

Because of this "Uncle Xiao," even her mother was considering abandoning him!

The pent-up frustration and anxiety that had been building up over this period of time erupted in that instant.

He broke free from his mother's grasp and shouted, "I don't want to!"

"He's a bad guy!"

"He's trying to take Mother away!"

"I don't like him!"

He didn't even like Yan Ge'er that much.

Because Yan Ge'er will steal his mother's love.

Now that he's finally accepted Yan Ge'er, how can he tolerate someone else taking his mother away?!

Su Wanwan was stunned.

She frowned. "Why are you like this?"

"You shouldn't repay kindness with enmity, you know that?"

Yan Ge'er could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down his face like beads from a broken string.

"Yan-ge doesn't like him either!"

"We've decided that once he recovers, we'll kick him out of the capital!"

Su Wanwan's face instantly turned cold and stern.

"What nonsense are you spouting?!"

Yan Ge'er opened his mouth and burst into tears.

"Mother, don't go!"

"I will be very good and obedient, and I won't make Mother angry... Mother, please don't abandon me..."

Su Wanwan's body stiffened.

Tears streamed down her face, and she couldn't help but choke back sobs.

"Mother didn't want to either..."

However, some things won't happen just because you don't want them to.

"My dear Yan'er, you must know that your mother loves you the most."

"Remember to eat well, grow up well, and become a good emperor in the future."

Yan Ge'er cried loudly, "I don't want to be a good emperor, I want my mother..."

"I only want my mother..."

The mother and son burst into tears.

After they had both cried themselves out, Su Wanwan smiled and comforted him, "If one day Mother leaves, she won't go far."

"Just like when you were a child, I'm watching you secretly."

"When you miss your mother, just give her a secret signal, and she will come to see you."

Yan Ge'er, still somewhat doubtful, asked through sobs, "Really?"

"Mmm," Su Wanwan kissed his little face, "Even if you can't see me, don't worry, I'm right here with you."

Those days of separation from my mother were truly unforgettable.

Like wild grass swaying in the wind, it doesn't even dare to cry.

Yan Ge'er grasped at a straw: "What's the code?"

...

It wasn't until the afternoon that the mother and son set off for the Su family.

After not eating for several days, Xiao Bin became so thin that his cheeks became sunken.

There was a rather large wound on one side of his cheek, which had scabbed over but was still oozing blood.

It was truly ferocious and terrifying.

Yan Ge'er was so frightened that he hid behind Su Wanwan.

Su Wanwan held Yan Ge'er's small hand in one hand, but her mind was on Xiao Bin.

Xiao Bin's appearance is truly terrifying.

The imperial physician said that the recurring illness was not a good sign.

Fortunately, he is now able to take some herbal medicine.

"Xiao Bin." Su Wanwan's voice was nasal as she fought back tears. "Get well soon."

"How about Yan-ge calls you Uncle Xiao?"

Xiao Bin's skin was pale with a slight red tinge due to a high fever, and he showed no reaction.

"Don't scare me, and don't scare the child, okay?"

Su Nan frowned. "The imperial physician is doing his best, so don't worry too much. Go back first."

Su Wanwan refused, saying, "I have to stay here."

"Nonsense!" Su Nan's voice became much sterner. "Have you forgotten who you are now?"
