It took Su Xuening more than an hour to finally finish the acupuncture.
At this moment, Helian Rong was comfortably drowsy.
However, he was still somewhat lucid. Feeling that Su Xuening had finished removing the needles, he groggily grabbed Su Xuening's hand: "Girl... I... I don't even know your names..."
He seems to have forgotten to ask their names. He's getting old!
Su Xuening leaned down and whispered in his ear, "My name is Xuening, and my younger brother's name is Yun'an. These are the names our father gave us. He hoped that we would have a peaceful and smooth life."
"Xue Ning... Yun An..." Helian Rong closed his eyes and silently murmured the two names.
Seeing how tired he was, yet still persisting, Su Xuening comforted him, "Please sleep peacefully. You'll feel much better after a good night's rest. Don't worry, Yun'an and I won't leave the palace. We'll go to the East Palace and await your summons again."
Su Xuening's words completely calmed Helian Rong down, and he finally gave up his obsession and fell into a deep sleep!
Once he was completely asleep, Su Xuening looked at Yuan Xian and said, "Please take good care of him, Father-in-law. He should be able to sleep soundly through the night until dawn."
"Princess, please don't be so polite to this old servant. It's too much of a burden for me."
As Yuan Xian spoke, he looked at Helian Rong.
This was the first time he had ever seen Helian Rong fall asleep so quickly and sleep so soundly: "Thank you, Princess. I never expected your medical skills to be so amazing!"
Although the emperor did not trust the imperial physicians, even if they came, they could not get him to sleep so quickly.
Moreover, he was present throughout the entire acupuncture process. At the beginning, the emperor had a somewhat painful expression, but gradually he completely relaxed and his whole state was incredibly relaxed and comfortable. It is evident that this acupuncture treatment truly made the emperor very comfortable!
So this little princess's medical skills are truly extraordinary!
Su Xuening didn't say much, only packed her medicine box: "I still need to administer acupuncture tomorrow, so Yun'an and I will return to the East Palace today."
Su Xuening said this and went out with Su Yun'an.
Yuan Xian glanced at the sleeping Helian Rong and hurriedly followed him out, saying, "Let this old servant escort the young princess and the young prince."
Su Xuening glanced into the house and said, "Don't bother seeing him off. Just stay with him and let someone else do it."
Helian Rong was asleep, but Yuan Xian was still worried. He called to the eunuch outside the door, "Send the young princess and the young prince back to the East Palace. Have the people there take good care of them and do not neglect them in the slightest!"
It's clear that the Emperor adores the young princess and the young prince; these two are extremely precious and must not be neglected.
"Yes." The eunuch replied and immediately scurried forward to lead the way for Su Xuening and Su Yun'an.
Su Xuening and Su Yun'an returned to the East Palace and went to see Duanmu Junyu first.
Inside the house, Su Renzhong was still asleep. When Duanmu Junyu saw the two of them return, she waved to them.
"Mother." The two stepped forward, bowed, and sat down next to Duanmu Junyu.
"So? What did he say to you?" Duanmu Junyu was quite curious about the Northern Wei emperor's attitude towards the two children.
Su Xuening and Su Yun'an exchanged a glance and recounted their conversation with the Northern Wei emperor to Duanmu Junyu.
Duanmu Junyu was quite surprised, seemingly not expecting the Northern Wei emperor to value these two children so much.
After all, Ning'er and An'er are already his great-grandchildren, and two generations apart. Even if it's out of love for the house and its crows, the distance is still quite far.
It seems he really cares about his grandson Su Renzhong, which is why he cares so much about Su Renzhong's children!
"I imagine he and his father were in a pretty difficult situation in Northern Wei. He explained a lot to us; he only took his father with him because he wanted to protect us. He just didn't expect that we would encounter so many things in Eastern Chu," Su Xuening explained softly.
Yes, who could have imagined that an ordinary person would encounter so many things? Even if he was the emperor of Northern Wei, he had no idea about their situation in Eastern Chu!
Duanmu Junyu could tell that the two children's resentment towards the Northern Wei emperor was slowly dissipating: "So you forgave him?"
Su Xuening smiled bitterly: "It's not a matter of forgiveness or not. We never hated him in the first place!"
Su Yun'an chimed in, "Yes, he was the emperor of Northern Wei. How could he know about what happened to us in Eastern Chu? He didn't do it on purpose. He was just a grandfather who missed his grandson. Besides, we survived what happened in Eastern Chu. It had nothing to do with him. We can't say we forgive him, but we can only say we've made peace with the hurdle in our own hearts."
Unexpectedly, the two children were so enlightened. Duanmu Junyu patted their heads with satisfaction and said, "You've grown up and become sensible. Your mother doesn't need to say anything; you understand everything!"
She was originally thinking about what to say to comfort them, but unexpectedly, they were the ones who comforted her instead.
It is right to let the great-grandfather and great-grandson talk to each other.
Although this great-grandfather and his two great-grandsons are separated by several generations, they still share a strong blood relationship. This time, they were able to open up to each other and resolve all their doubts and misunderstandings.
Now that both children have come to their senses, she has even less reason to blame anyone else.
Although he took Su Renzhong away, he also protected him. Although he had lost his memory, at least when they found him, he was still alive, and that was enough!
Thinking of something, Su Xuening added, "His meaning is very clear: he wants to pass the throne of Northern Wei to my father."
Duanmu Junyu raised her eyebrows, not too surprised.
If he didn't have this intention, he wouldn't have gone to the trouble of bringing Su Renzhong from Eastern Chu to Northern Wei. Since he brought him here, he must have had this in mind.
However, he still had three sons, these three princes of Northern Wei, who were the biggest obstacle to his passing the throne to Su Renzhong.
Duanmu Junyu was silent for a moment, then looked at Su Xuening and Su Yun'an: "What do you think?"
Su Xuening and Su Yun'an exchanged a glance and gave each other a helpless wry smile: "Why are you asking the same question as that person?"
Duanmu Junyu looked surprised: "He asked for your opinions too?"
Su Xuening nodded: "Yun An and I both expressed that we do not want our father to succeed to the throne of Northern Wei. Of course, this also depends on our father's opinion. If our father wants to, we have no objection. If our father does not want to, we hope that he can find another candidate."
Su Yun'an shrugged and said, "Judging from his appearance, he seems very dissatisfied with his three sons. He probably has no other choice."
Su Xuening then looked at Duanmu Junyu: "What does Mother think?"
Duanmu Junyu raised her eyebrows and said, "You answered very well, just like my thoughts. Of course, I don't want your father to stay in Northern Wei as emperor. I've been separated from him for too long and I never want to be separated from him again. But we still have to ask your father's opinion. If he wants to, I will naturally support him unconditionally. If he doesn't want to, I will have a good talk with that person."
