An Xin was startled when she saw Gu Yin like this: "Lord Gu..."
"I'm fine. Take good care of the Empress Dowager." Gu Yin said this and left. An Xin felt helpless and hurried inside to check on the Empress Dowager's condition.

General's Mansion
Yu Jingchen had already brought Nan Zhiyun outside the mansion. When the carriage stopped, the servants at the gate of the General's Mansion were a little confused as to whose carriage it was.
Xinglai stepped forward and took out the token. As servants of the general's mansion, they naturally recognized it. They were startled when they saw it and immediately tried to kneel down.
"No need to make a fuss, just go and report to General Nan," Xinglai said in time.
"Yes!" The servant dared not delay and immediately went to fetch Nan Su.
Here, the servants lifted the curtain on the carriage. Yu Jingchen got off first, and then reached out to carry Nan Zhiyun out.
When Nan Zhiyun saw the words "General's Mansion," she was still a little dazed. She hadn't been back for a long time, and although she had been excited just now, the sand and dust were making her eyes blurry.
"What's wrong?" Yu Jingchen asked, looking at Nan Zhiyun's red eyes. "Missing home? It's okay, you're back now. Be good, don't cry, General Nan will be sad if he sees you like this." Yu Jingchen hugged her tightly.
"No~" Nan Zhiyun snuggled into Yu Jingchen's arms. Yu Jingchen smiled and carried her into the General's Mansion.
Actually, he hadn't been here for a long time. The last time... seemed to be before his ascension to the throne. He used to come here more often when he was a child, because Nan Su would come here to teach him martial arts.
Nan Su was also very shocked to hear that Yu Jingchen had come to the General's Mansion; he had never expected Yu Jingchen to come here. When he came out to look, he found that not only Yu Jingchen, but also Yun'er had returned, being held by His Majesty.
Nan Su didn't care about anything else and bowed upon seeing her: "This old minister greets Your Majesty and the Consort Shu."
"Nan Qing, there's no need for such formalities, please rise." Yu Jingchen was holding Nan Zhiyun, so he couldn't comfort her himself.
Nan Su straightened up, and Nan Zhiyun struggled to get down, but Yu Jingchen let go of her and helped her stand up.
"Father!" Nan Zhiyun's voice was cheerful and clear, and she was about to rush towards Nan Su in the next moment.
"Father, Yun'er missed you." Nan Zhiyun threw herself into Nan Su's arms, and Nan Su hugged her back.
“You’re being disrespectful. His Majesty is still here.” Although Nan Su said this, there was no blame in his tone. His face was full of doting affection, and he never let go of her hand.
"Your Majesty won't blame me, will he, Your Majesty?" Nan Zhiyun looked at Yu Jingchen.
"Yes, Nanqing, don't worry too much. Yun'er is just close to you. There are no outsiders here, so there's no need to be reserved," Yu Jingchen said gently.
"Your Majesty and Your Majesty, please come in first." Nan Su released Nan Zhiyun.
Yu Jingchen nodded slightly, then stepped forward and stopped Nan Zhiyun: "Your foot is injured, be careful." Yu Jingchen thoughtfully reminded her, and although Nan Su did not speak, she had been paying close attention.
Yu Jingchen escorted Nan Zhiyun into the room and then sat down in the seat below the head of the table. Nan Zhiyun was pulled to sit down next to him, while Nan Su did not say anything and simply sat down in the seat opposite him.
"Serve tea to His Majesty and the Empress," Nan Su said to the steward. The vast general's mansion was somewhat deserted with only him present.
Nan Zhiyun looked on, feeling a pang of heartache; her father always seemed so alone…
