Su Xuening and Su Yun'an both nodded silently upon hearing this.
In fact, they had already guessed their mother's answer, because they both loved their father and knew what was best for him.
Duanmu Junyu frowned, as if remembering something, and said, "I heard his health isn't very good?"
Su Xuening nodded: "I checked his pulse today, and it's definitely not good."
Duanmu Junyu was surprised: "He even asked you to check his pulse? It seems he really values you all."
The fact that they could see into his body's true condition shows how much he truly trusts them, even though it was their first time meeting. This must be the power of bloodlines!
Su Xuening was actually quite surprised that he would trust her wholeheartedly to treat him, after all, he didn't even trust his own imperial physician.
"How is he? Is his condition serious?" Duanmu Junyu asked with concern.
She wasn't really that concerned about the Northern Wei emperor's health; it was mainly because of Su Renzhong.
If something were to happen to this person, the Northern Wei would likely be thrown into chaos. Their future would depend on Su Renzhong's decision.
Su Xuening's expression was solemn: "He is quite ill. His previous illness dragged on for a long time without proper treatment. In addition, his father's disappearance caused him to suffer from heart disease due to stress. He will need a long period of treatment and recuperation to recover."
Duanmu Junyu frowned, not expecting it to be this serious: "Then can you cure him?"
Su Xuening sighed softly: "Give me enough time, I can cure his illness. But he is old and his body is showing signs of exhaustion, which is something I cannot cure."
Duanmu Junyu suddenly realized what Su Xuening meant, and after a long silence, she asked, "How much time does he have left?"
Su Xuening raised an eyebrow: "If I personally treat him, he can probably last another two or three years. If we're not around, he'll have at most a month left."
Duanmu Junyu was shocked again, never expecting that the old emperor's health had deteriorated to such a degree.
Su Yun'an never expected that if his sister didn't help him get treatment, he would only have one month to live, which was indeed too hard to accept!
Although they had only met for the first time today, he still hoped that his sister could treat him, even if it was only for two or three years, it would be better than having only one month to live!
Duanmu Junyu turned back and glanced at Su Renzhong, who was still unconscious.
She felt it was necessary to have a proper talk with the old emperor about his condition.
Following Duanmu Junyu's gaze, Su Xuening looked at Su Renzhong on the bed.
She got up and went over to check Su Renzhong's pulse, then comforted him, "Father's pulse is normal. He should regain his memory when he wakes up."
Duanmu Junyu nodded and looked at the two of them with affection, saying, "Alright, it's late. You should go and rest. We'll talk about everything after your father wakes up."
"Mm." Su Xuening nodded in response.
She was indeed exhausted. She hadn't slept for days while making the antidote for her father, and now, after all this trouble, she was truly exhausted.
Su Xuening and Su Yun'an went out together.
The palace servants had already arranged rooms for them, and the two returned to their respective rooms.
When Su Xuening returned to the room, Xiao Bao was asleep, but there were still tears in the corners of his eyes, and he was sobbing as if he had just finished crying.
Su Xuening frowned and looked at Xuan Yuanzhan, silently inquiring about his son's condition.
Xuanyuan Zhan was also helpless and explained in a low voice, "He was just hungry, but he refused to drink cow's milk or goat's milk, so I had to coax him to sleep. He cried himself to sleep, that's how it is."
Su Xuening felt heartbroken upon hearing this and rushed forward to hug her son, but Xuan Yuanzhan stopped her, saying, "I finally managed to get him to sleep, so let him sleep. What's the big deal if he goes hungry for a meal?"
Without saying a word, he dragged Su Xuening to the small couch in the outer room: "We'll sleep here tonight, and let that kid sleep in the big bed by himself. That way, we won't make any noise and wake him up."
Su Xuening blushed slightly and gave him a reproachful look upon hearing this.
What could they possibly do? She's exhausted; what else could he possibly want to do?
To be honest, Xuanyuan Zhan did have that thought in mind, but she had been so busy making medicine these past few days that she hadn't had time to spend with him. Now that the antidote was finally made, how could he not be tempted?
But now, after being pierced by her gaze, he dared not think of anything at all.
Okay, his wife is tired, he can't be a beast!
“We’ll just sleep today.” Xuan Yuanzhan pulled Su Xuening into his arms and said softly, “Sleep, I’ll hold you while you sleep.”
Su Xuening was truly exhausted. Being held in Xuan Yuanzhan's arms felt so reassuring and warm, and she soon drifted off to sleep.
Xuanyuan Zhan lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then kissed her nose, and then kissed her red lips.
If not today, it should be possible tomorrow!
Who can resist the allure of this kind of thing!
He had never been a virgin before, and he didn't want to either, but ever since he consummated his marriage with her again in the hot spring, he had thought about it every day. If it weren't for his pity for her body, he would have wanted her every single day!
This time, several days had passed, and naturally, he missed it terribly.
While Xuan Yuanzhan was cuddling with Su Xuening, Duanmu Junyu was also asleep beside Su Renzhong.
Su Renzhong had a very long dream, a dream that spanned from his birth to the present, as if he had lived half a lifetime.
Finally, he opened his eyes.
Looking at Duanmu Junyu sleeping in his arms, Su Renzhong's expression softened instantly.
He reached out and gently stroked her eyebrows, her eyes, her nose, her lips...
His calloused fingertips caressed her luscious red lips, and gradually, his eyes darkened.
"Hmm~" Duanmu Junyu seemed to have been woken up by him. She opened her eyes groggily and saw Su Renzhong's handsome face magnified.
Su Renzhong eagerly covered Duanmu Junyu's red lips with his own, desperately trying to entangle with her.
Duanmu Junyu was caught off guard by his sudden passionate kiss.
His kiss was domineering and wild, leaving her breathless. She managed to catch her breath and call out to him, "Su Renzhong..."
What's wrong with him?
Has he regained his memory?
Su Renzhong finally took a moment to look up at her, his eyes filled with love: "Ayu~ I missed you so much!"
Duanmu Junyu's pupils contracted sharply, and her clear eyes instantly welled up with tears.
He regained his memory!!!
He called her Ayu, not as awkwardly as when she had taught him before.
This time it felt so familiar; she knew he must have regained his memory.
"Ayu~" Su Renzhong pressed his lips to hers again, desperately trying to entangle with her, as if only in this way could he express his longing and love.
Duanmu Junyu also wrapped her arms around his neck and hooked her arms around his waist, dedicating everything she had to him.
Only with such clear perception could she truly feel that he had really returned to her side.
The night remains long, and our love remains as deep as ever...
