Chapter 352 Ask Him to Take Good Care of My Dad

"Prince, please think about it carefully. Taking such a long leave will inevitably affect the impression of you in His Majesty's mind." Li Bixiang thought of another excuse.

After hearing this, Cheng Yunshuo shook his head nonchalantly, "Who am I? I'm just a small pawn in the palace. Your Majesty wouldn't care about me."

Li Bixi: “…”

That's true, but don't you care about your future at all?

Who doesn’t look forward and run towards the future?

Cheng Yunshuo has too little hope for himself!

Li Bixi thought of another excuse, "My Lord, the old marquis is away on a campaign, and it's not appropriate for you to take a long vacation and listen to scriptures and discussions in the temple!"

Even if he doesn't care about the emperor, he should at least care about his own father.

But Cheng Yunshuo simply said, "I just prayed for my father."

Li Bixi: “…”

Li Bixi was angry and anxious, and said directly, "Prince, you are now the commander of the Yulin Army after all, and you are in charge of people. If you take a long vacation like this, the people under you will definitely have to change. They will not wait for you to come back, and they may ask someone to take your place!"

Aren't these jobs all similar? You can't just occupy the toilet without doing anything.

This is especially true in a place like the Imperial Palace; if it's vacant for a few days, someone will immediately take your place!

When the time comes, I won’t have any place to call my own when I go back.

If Cheng Yunshuo had made outstanding achievements or held a high position, it would be difficult for ordinary people to replace him. However, he was just a small commander of the Yulin Army who could be replaced at any time. When he returned, there would be no place for him.

Cheng Yunshuo had been on a roll in his career, but if he slacked off, he would be back to square one.

Li Bixi was worried about his future. If he was stable, she and her children would be stable.

Even if he wanted to listen to the scriptures and theories, he would wait until her child grew up and her son inherited the Marquisate.

If he passed away at this critical moment, she would not be able to rely on Cheng Yunshuo to ask for things for her children's future!

"It's up to them, if they are willing to do it, let them do it." Cheng Yunshuo said calmly.

Look at the tone, it already has some of the Buddhist nature of someone who listens to Zen talks every day.

"My lord, if not for yourself, you should at least think about the Marquis's Mansion and everyone else..." Li Bixiang kept persuading him.

"Don't say that anymore." Cheng Yunshuo was annoyed by her. He looked at Li Bixi coldly, "Why do I feel that you only care about these external affairs and never care about me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Bixi burst into tears, and she looked as if she was pouring out her heart for him, "Sir, how could this be? I am just thinking about you!"

But at this moment, Cheng Yunshuo felt inexplicably heartbroken and disappointed.

If he had not known what she had done behind his back and had seen her hypocrisy and lies, Cheng Yunshuo might have believed her as before.

He always thought that Li Bixi was gentle and considerate, and every word she said touched his heart.

She was completely different from Xing Dairong and Duruo. She would never say anything that would annoy him, and every word she said was for his own good.

But the reality is!

Every word she says is for herself!

There was not a trace of sincerity in every word.

He stared at her for a long time, "Li Bixi, have you ever really cared about me?"

Li Bixi once again met his gaze and turned away with guilt, "Sir, of course I care about you. You are my heaven, the only person I care about in the world."

Cheng Yunshuo snorted coldly, "Then I want to stay in the temple for some time. You care about me so much, what's there to stop me!"

Li Bixi: “…”

She was completely speechless.

She looked at Cheng Yunshuo in front of her, who was completely different from before after taking the wrong medicine. She tried to speak several times, but each time she failed and fainted.

She was extremely anxious. If this Cheng Yunshuo was her son, she would tear off this disguise right now, slap him twice, grab his ears and drag him to the palace. If he dared to behave like this again, she would break his legs!

Just at this moment, the breeze outside the house came with a hurried report.

"My Lord! Madam asks you to go back!"

When the two people who were confronting each other in the room heard this, Cheng Yunshuo immediately stopped his aura and asked, "What's the matter?"

"An urgent report has been sent from the border. It's news from the old marquis! Madam, please return quickly!"

Hearing this, Cheng Yunshuo immediately left the house, and Li Bixi's eyes lit up.

Soon, they rushed back to the Marquis' Mansion.

Cheng Yunshuo went straight to Lu Lingyun's yard.

When he arrived at Lu Lingyun's courtyard, he was wondering why the urgent report his father sent from the border was not sent to his mother.

"Lingyun, what's wrong?"

"Prince, you're back." When Lu Lingyun saw him, her usually calm face now took on a solemn look.

It was rare for Cheng Yunshuo to see her like this, and his heart skipped a beat. At this moment, Lu Lingyun handed him the urgent news.

Cheng Yunshuo opened the letter and found only one line of words in it.

"The Lord was attacked on the battlefield and was seriously injured. His life is in danger."

The moment Cheng Yunshuo saw this line of words, he felt as if the sky had fallen.

He stood there in a daze for a moment, his hand holding the letter shaking violently, his expression extremely nervous and frightened.

"My father was attacked, my father..."

"Prince, calm down." Lu Lingyun's voice came.

After hearing her voice, Cheng Yunshuo finally regained consciousness. He looked at Lu Lingyun and asked, "What did my mother say?"

"I haven't told my mother about this yet, for fear that she might worry."

Cheng Yunshuo nodded again, "You did the right thing, you did the right thing, don't tell her."

He had no idea at the moment. He responded to Lu Lingyun vigorously and paced back and forth on the spot, "What should I do now? Should I go to the border? I want to pick up my father! Yes, I want to bring my father back!"

Seeing him like this, Lu Lingyun shook his head and said, "Prince, calm down."

"My dad is going to die, how can I stay calm!"

Lu Lingyun sighed, and she took out another urgent report, "This is what Cheng Qi sent me. The war at the border is urgent right now. Our army and the barbarians have reached a critical point. You must not go to the border at this time. Once you go, those people will know that the old marquis is in a bad condition, and they will definitely fight to the death."

"Cheng Qi sent a message to inform us that at this critical moment, we must not reveal any clues to the barbarians. This is also what the old marquis told him before he fell into a coma."

After hearing this, Cheng Yunshuo sat down on the chair. After a while, he asked, "Is Cheng Qi in charge of the border now?"

Lu Lingyun nodded. She had not expected that six years ago, Cheng Qi ran back to his hometown at the border. Now that the war had broken out, it was him who took over from the old marquis and led his old border troops to fight the enemy.

After a long time, Cheng Yunshuo said leisurely, "With Cheng Qi here, I feel relieved. I will write a letter to him and ask him to take good care of my father."

Lu Lingyun: "......"
