Yuan Xian never expected Duanmu Junyu to be so aloof, seemingly even harder to talk to than the princess and the young prince!
Su Xuening looked at him and smiled, "Let's go!"
"Yes." Yuan Xian quickly responded and invited them outside to get into the carriage.
Apart from the three old servants in Wu Liping's household, Su Xuening and the others were all picked up in carriages and taken to the palace.
Upon entering the palace, Yuan Xian went to see Helian Rong first: "Your Majesty, the Princess and the young prince have been brought here, and His Highness the Imperial Grandson has also been found."
Upon hearing this, Helian Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Where is he?"
Yuan Xian quickly bowed and said, "His Highness is currently unconscious. It must have been because they told him about his amnesia that His Highness became too agitated and fainted."
Helian Rong was startled again and said nervously, "Send the person to the East Palace first, and then send the imperial physician over to take a look."
"Yes." Yuan Xian responded and was about to leave when Helian Rong stopped him: "How many people did they bring this time?"
Yuan Xianwei paused for a moment, then frowned and said, "Besides the two young princes and their mothers, there is also the princess's husband, the princess's child, and General Wu."
Yuan Xian originally wanted to report what Wu Liping had said to Helian Rong, but he thought that the emperor was not in good health and he did not dare to upset the emperor further.
Now that Wu Liping has entered the palace, the Emperor will see him sooner or later. When that time comes, the Emperor will naturally be able to discern who he is loyal to.
Helian Rong was somewhat surprised to hear that only a few people had come: "Hasn't that secret army returned?"
Yuan Xian frowned: "It seems not."
Helian Rong paused for a moment, sensing something was amiss, then asked, "The princess is married and has children?"
Speaking of this, Yuan Xian smiled and said, "Yes, the person that Commander Wu reported earlier, who is very skilled in martial arts, is the princess's husband. The little princess is still in swaddling clothes and should only be a month old."
This person is actually the emperor's great-grandson.
Helian Rong nodded silently, seemingly surprised that he had a great-grandson.
Although he has many sons, he doesn't have many grandsons, and even fewer great-grandsons. To this day, there's only his second son's family and this brother and sister who have never met.
Unexpectedly, he even has a great-great-grandson.
Helian Rong suddenly felt a surge of anticipation. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Yuan Xian and said, "Take them all to the East Palace first, and let those two children come to see me first."
"Yes," Yuan Xian replied, then bowed and left.
After leaving, Yuan Xian led Su Renzhong and the others back to the East Palace.
Shortly after, the imperial physician arrived.
Before the imperial physicians could figure out Duanmu Junyu and the others' identities, Yuan Xian ordered them to take Su Renzhong's pulse.
Several imperial physicians took turns checking Su Renzhong's pulse, but they couldn't find anything wrong.
"His Highness the Imperial Grandson should be asleep. He should wake up after a nap."
Yuan Xian frowned, somewhat suspicious: "Your Highness is just asleep? Is there nothing else wrong?"
The imperial physicians couldn't find anything wrong: "He must be asleep. His Highness is perfectly fine."
Once he was sure the imperial physicians hadn't made a mistake, Yuan Xian sighed softly, "It's good that there's no problem. You may all leave now and not disturb His Highness's rest."
"Yes." The imperial physicians dared not ask any further questions and bowed as they withdrew.
Yuan Xian then bowed to Duanmu Junyu and the others, saying, "Your Highness, we will trouble you to take care of you. Please stay in the East Palace for the time being and wait for the Emperor to receive you."
Duanmu Junyu didn't even glance at Yuan Xian, seemingly uninterested in what he was saying and completely unconcerned whether the Emperor would see her or not.
At this moment, Duanmu Junyu sat by the bed, her heart solely devoted to Su Renzhong.
Seeing that Duanmu Junyu ignored him, Yuan Xian then looked obsequiously at Su Xuening and Su Yun'an: "His Majesty wishes to see the two princes. Please accompany this old servant to see His Majesty."
Su Xuening and Su Yun'an exchanged a glance.
It's not surprising that the Emperor wanted to see them.
Su Xuening then looked at Xuan Yuanzhan and the others and said, "Then you can stay in the East Palace for now. Yun An and I will go see the person first."
Yuan Xian quickly added, "You are all free to move around in the East Palace and may choose a room to rest first."
Once the Emperor acknowledges the two young princes, these people will have very prestigious statuses, so they naturally cannot be offended.
Xuan Yuanzhan nodded to Su Xuening: "Call me if you need anything, I can hear you."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xian's eye twitched involuntarily.
The Emperor's residence, Shouhe Palace, is quite a distance from the East Palace. If you call him from Shouhe Palace, he can hear you.
Is he some kind of deity?
Just as Yuan Xian didn't believe Xuan Yuanzhan's words at all, Su Xuening nodded seriously.
Su Xuening and Su Yun'an followed Yuan Xian to Shouhe Palace, while Xuan Yuanzhan and the others remained at the East Palace.
Duanmu Junyu looked at Xuanyuan Zhan and the others and said, "You've been up all night, so go find a room to rest first."
Xuanyuan Zhan and Wu Liping nodded.
Now we can only accept it as it is.
Shouhe Palace.
Yuan Xian led Su Xuening and Su Yun'an directly into the main hall.
Su Xuening and Su Yun'an finally saw their great-grandfather, Helian Rong, the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Helian Rong finally saw his two great-grandsons. Before Yuan Xian could introduce them, he knew their identities.
Helian Rong stared blankly at Su Xuening and Su Yun'an.
I must say, Wu Shou was absolutely right.
These two children are so beautiful, perhaps even more beautiful than the fairies and celestial children of the Heavenly Palace.
Unfortunately, he didn't resemble Ci'er at all, but this boy's stature might resemble Ci'er's in the future.
While Helian Rong was observing Su Xuening and Su Yun'an, the two of them were also observing him.
This person doesn't look eighty years old. Although he has white hair and a pale face, he seems to be in good spirits.
"Your Majesty, these two are the Princess and the young prince."
Yuan Xian introduced Helian Rong, then looked at Su Xuening and Su Yun'an and said, "The Emperor is your great-grandfather. Hurry up and pay your respects to your great-grandfather."
Upon hearing this, the two bowed to Helian Rong in unison, but did not say anything.
Yuan Xian frowned, wanting to say something more, but Helian Rong beckoned to the two of them: "Come here, come to the great-grandfather's side."
The two were obedient; at Helian Rong's beckoning, they both stepped forward obediently.
Helian Rong seemed more energetic than before, and when the two of them came to his side, he took their hands.
Helian Rong was quite satisfied as he caressed Su Xuening's delicate hands.
The girl's hands were delicate, indicating that she hadn't suffered much hardship. But when he touched the calluses on her fingers, he frowned and said, "Why are there calluses on your hands? Did you have a hard time in Dongchu?"
Su Xuening shook her head and explained, "I studied medicine, and the calluses on my fingers are from using needles."
Helian Rong nodded in realization: "So that's how it is. I didn't expect a young girl like you to know medicine?"
