"I've been dreaming these past few days. I dreamed of my sister, and of us galloping on horseback together in Mobei." Xiao Sanlang lost himself in memories. "Mei'er was still a girl then, young and energetic. We competed in horseback riding together. Although she was a girl, she was every bit as passionate as a boy, and she was also very curious. Every time we competed, she would beat me three times out of five. When she won, she would hold her stomach while sitting on horseback and laugh at me."
"Mei'er was so happy at that time. Sometimes I wonder if letting Mei'er enter the palace was a wrong choice."
Xiao Sanlang said this and closed his eyes.
At that time, his sister was really unrestrained and free.
Moreover, he felt that his sister had someone she liked.
The man was rescued by her sister and later became her sister's bodyguard, being loyal to her.
The man was taciturn and looked cold, except for his younger sister, who showed a hint of tenderness. When his younger sister was in his presence, she would show a shy girlish air.
Later, an imperial decree came down, requiring the sister to enter the palace.
It seems that the Xiao family is extremely favored, but in fact the emperor is afraid that the Xiao family will become more powerful than him, so he lets his sister enter the palace to control the Xiao family.
If my sister doesn't agree, it would be like disobeying the imperial order, and the entire Xiao family would be in danger.
For the sake of the Xiao family, my younger sister took off her military uniform, put on red makeup, and entered the palace.
In the end, the Xiao family ended up like this.
If it happened again, he would never let his sister enter the palace again.
The mountains are high and the waters are far away, and you can be free and unrestrained. Why should you be trapped in the cage of the palace?
Unfortunately, there is no if.
Xiao Sanlang opened his eyes and suddenly saw a girl in red standing at the door, smiling broadly and looking at him.
"Sister..." He stretched out his hand towards the girl in red.
However, the next moment, the girl disappeared.
In the following time, Xiao Sanlang spent more and more time in coma.
He often dreams of old times, including A Qing.
However, all my closest relatives are not around, including my sister, parents, and brothers.
A Qing was also far away in the capital, and he didn't allow A Qing to be told because he didn't want A Qing to be troubled by this matter.
The capital city is facing many crises. A Qing's identity is such a big secret that it must not be exposed, otherwise there will be no recovery.
Intellectually, he felt this way, but mentally, he still felt lonely.
One day, he woke up and found it was daytime outside.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Hei Bo.
Hei Bo was very surprised to see him wake up.
"Master, you're awake. It's just right that the young master and the others have just arrived." Hei Bo said with a smile.
"Young master...A Qing?" Xiao Sanlang took a while to react.
"Yes, I just got off the carriage and brought a lot of things with me." Hei Bo said.
Xiao Sanlang was happy at first. Before he died, the person he couldn't let go of the most was A Qing. If he could see A Qing, his regrets would be much less.
but……
Xiao Sanlang said with a cold face: "Didn't I tell you not to tell A Qing about this?"
"Master, you think this protects the young master, but if the young master cannot see you... for the last time, he will regret it for the rest of his life." Hei Bo said.
He had followed his master for decades, and this was the first time he disobeyed his master's orders.
"Master, since the young master is here, please meet him. After that, come and punish me." Hei Bo said, "The young master has also brought your niece-in-law with him."
Xiao Sanlang's cold face finally relaxed and he sighed softly.
His nephew dotes on his wife like crazy. When he talks about his wife, he becomes a completely different person, silly and naive. That's what it looks like when someone loves someone.
Xiao Sanlang was also very curious about his nephew's wife. He wondered what kind of girl she was that could make his nephew so devoted to her.
He originally thought that he would never have the chance to see her in this lifetime, but he never expected that he would be able to see her again before he died.
Forget it, since I’m here, I have to meet you properly.
"Let them both in." Xiao Sanlang said.
"Yes." Hei Bo responded quickly.
Soon, Tang Li and Wei Qing arrived, both of them looking dusty and exhausted, obviously having hurried on their way. The two of them were holding hands, showing that they were very close.
Xiao Sanlang glanced at his nephew, who had become a little paler, but not much changed, and soon his eyes fell on the girl next to his nephew.
The girl was born with a petite figure, and she was naturally pretty. Although she was petite, she had a strong resilience in her body.
Standing together with his nephew, the two of them look particularly well-matched.
"Uncle." Wei Qing called out.
Looking at his pale face, Wei Qing felt sad and distressed. He walked up to him and hugged Xiao Sanlang.
His movements were very gentle, and Xiao Sanlang patted his back to comfort him.
"Boy, do you miss your uncle so much?" Xiao Sanlang said with a smile.
"I want to." Wei Qing said.
"Boy, your wife is here, don't cry, it's embarrassing." Xiao Sanlang said.
"I didn't cry. But you, at your age, shouldn't cry, or you'll embarrass yourself in front of your niece's wife." Wei Qing said.
"Okay, let me see my nephew's wife." Xiao Sanlang said.
Wei Qing let go of Xiao Sanlang.
Xiao Sanlang looked at Tang Li.
Tangli walked up to Xiao Sanlang and called him obediently, "Uncle."
The word "uncle" was so sweet that it touched Xiao Sanlang's heart.
This is Aqing’s wife. If Mei’er saw her, she would definitely be very happy.
Xiao Sanlang gave Tangli a lot of things.
When a new bride comes home, the mother-in-law will definitely give her something. Now that Mei'er is gone, he, as the uncle, is the elder.
Everything that Xiao Sanlang gave represented his thoughts, and they had nothing to do with the Xiao family.
"Thank you, uncle." Tang Li took it happily.
"You two must be tired after traveling all the way. Go take a shower and have a good sleep." Xiao Sanlang said.
Tang Li and Wei Qing nodded and went to take a shower first.
As soon as he walked away, Wei Qing's eyes turned red.
In just one year, my uncle has aged a lot. He has white hair, a pale face, and is visibly in poor health.
He had been holding it back just now, but now that he was walking away, he couldn't help it anymore.
Tang Li hugged his waist and looked up at him with her little head tilted up: "Husband, it's okay. We have Doctor Su. He will definitely be able to cure your uncle's illness."
Wei Qing nodded and pinched his wife's soft face.
His wife is so nice.
"Go take a shower." Wei Qing said.
After they washed up and changed into clean clothes, Wei Qing took Doctor Su to find Xiao Sanlang.
"Uncle, this is Doctor Su. He is very skilled in medicine. He came with us from the capital to treat you." Wei Qing said.
Xiao Sanlang looked at Doctor Su and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor. You've been running around for me."
Doctor Su smiled and said, "It's not hard."
Xiao Sanlang was touched by A Qing's filial piety, but he knew his own body best. So many doctors were helpless and no one could cure his illness.
Doctor Su took Xiao Sanlang's pulse, examined him, and frowned in thought, saying that he would need to study it before giving a treatment plan.
Cure? His disease is incurable.
Xiao Sanlang just thought that Doctor Su was comforting him and smiled.
After Doctor Su left, Xiao Sanlang looked at Wei Qing and said, "Aqing, I have something to tell you."
Wei Qing inexplicably felt that what his uncle said next was very important. He felt very uncomfortable because it felt like his uncle was making arrangements for his funeral.
