The pain felt like being pierced by ten thousand arrows!
Yun Shu paused for a moment, then smiled, "In the future, Father can come to see us, and we can also return to the capital. It's just that by then, Xiao Jing and the others will have a different identity."
She knew the capital needed Father.
She also knew the young emperor needed Father. Father couldn't be as willful as she was.
Yun Changfeng was stunned for a long time.
When she told him the truth, she must have already made up her mind.
It's just that...
"Are you truly willing?" Yun Changfeng sighed helplessly.
She used to like the Night King so much, so much that she did all sorts of embarrassing things for him. Now, did she have no feelings for him at all?
Suddenly...
A thought popped into his mind.
Perhaps Shu'er was just resentful of the Night King, and all her current actions were just out of anger?
He became troubled again. Actually, apart from being cold, the Night King didn't have many major flaws. Before, he thought the Night King was morally corrupt, fathering two sons with various women. Now that the misunderstanding was cleared up, the Night King wasn't an unsuitable son-in-law.
However, before he learned about this, he had taken a liking to Yi Shizi.
Alas!
A difficult dilemma!
He needed to calm down.
Seeing Yun Changfeng's worried expression, Yun Shu felt a pang of guilt and gently persuaded, "Father, don't worry. I'll travel the world with Xiao Jing and the others. When Father retires, we can take Father to travel the world. Think about it, Xiao Li and Xiao Feng are so smart and cute. You'll have two more grandchildren."
Yun Changfeng had been too consumed by anger just now and had completely forgotten about his two grandsons.
Suddenly, those two children became his grandsons, and even his own grandsons.
Combined with Xiao Jing, Yun Changfeng's heart felt as if it were coated with honey.
He couldn't stop smiling, "Yes, yes, yes. Three grandsons! I never imagined I'd have three grandsons all at once, and they are so outstanding! I've observed them these past few days. Many of my colleagues' grandchildren and grandchildren combined are not as intelligent as these three! Nor are they as good-looking. While men shouldn't care too much about appearance, being good-looking is an advantage!"
The more he spoke, the more he wanted to see his three grandsons.
"Shu'er, to be honest, I suspected a few days ago and thought about whether Xiao Li and the others were your sons. But I wasn't sure. I never expected Father to guess correctly. Therefore, the Night King will definitely suspect it, and might even be investigating this matter in secret," Yun Changfeng said in a deep voice.
Yun Shu gave Yun Changfeng a thumbs-up, "Father, you're amazing! I knew Father would discover the whole truth in a few days."
After much thought, telling Father the truth now was indeed the most correct decision.
Yun Changfeng paced back and forth, unable to sit still. "The Night King might make a move first. Shu'er, you must be prepared."
He also wanted to test the Night King and see if he was still worth giving another chance. After all, in his opinion, Shu'er was likely just angry, and once her anger subsided, she might tell the Night King the truth and make him take responsibility.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have felt nothing for such a good man as Yi Shizi.
If the Night King still didn't like Shu'er, then he would risk his life to help Shu'er take Xiao Jing and the other two away from the capital!
Yun Shu smiled and nodded, "Okay, Father, don't worry. I will be prepared."
Suddenly, a report came from the gatekeeper outside.
"Is Miss in the study?"
Yun Shu heard this and replied, "I am. What is it?"
"A maid named Wanqing from the Gu manor is anxious to see Miss. Does Miss wish to see her?" the gatekeeper replied respectfully.
Yun Shu raised her eyebrows. Could something have happened to Gu Zhiruo?
She immediately replied, "No need to invite her in. I'll go out to see her directly."
Before leaving, she looked at Yun Changfeng, "Father, I'll find an opportunity to let you see Xiao Li and the others again in the next couple of days."
"Ah? Alright, alright!" Yun Changfeng was lost in thought.
When he saw the Emperor again in the palace in the next few days, if he happened to meet the Night King, he would subtly probe him!
Yun Shu didn't know what Yun Changfeng was thinking at that moment. She only assumed that Yun Changfeng was still shocked by the news he had just received and was unsure how to react, not yet having recovered.
She quickly went to the front gate of the manor.
Wanqing's face was pale with anxiety, pacing back and forth at the general's manor gate.
She kept looking inside, her eyes full of panic and worry.
The main gate suddenly opened.
Yun Shu walked out.
When Wanqing saw Yun Shu emerge, she immediately approached her, "Second Miss Yun, please quickly go and see my Miss. My Miss suddenly..."
Realizing she had almost revealed that Second Miss Yun knew medicine, she glanced around and then lowered her voice, "My Miss's condition suddenly worsened. She's suddenly vomiting, and... and her consciousness is unclear. So, I had no choice but to come and beg Second Miss Yun!"
"Get into the carriage immediately," Yun Shu said decisively.
"Ah, okay!"
The carriage quickly headed for the Gu family's residence.
As soon as Yun Shu entered the Gu family's residence, she saw Lord Gu hurrying towards her.
Although he appeared calm, his eyes were red, and he exuded an aura of panic.
"Second Miss Yun, Zhiruo mentioned that you know medicine. All the other doctors are helpless. Second Miss Yun, you must save her!" Lord Gu said anxiously.
Yun Shu nodded, "Don't worry, sir. I'll go see Zhiruo first."
"Come, I'll take you," Lord Gu led the way himself.
Originally, he had some doubts and didn't quite believe Zhiruo's words, thinking she was lying. But now, seeing Yun Shu's calm and composed demeanor, it seemed almost miraculous. He suddenly felt that only she could save Zhiruo.
Soon, they arrived at Gu Zhiruo's room.
Madam Gu was guarding by Gu Zhiruo's bedside.
The room seemed to have been tidied up recently, but there was still a lingering smell of vomit.
Yun Shu frowned slightly, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes. This smell...
"Second Miss Yun, you really know medicine, don't you? Zhiruo said your medical skills are better than those doctors in the capital." Madam Gu secretly observed Yun Shu. Compared to a few years ago, she seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.
If it weren't for the similar features, she would have thought the person standing before her wasn't Yun Shu, but a complete stranger.
Her demeanor and aura were entirely different.
While inwardly shocked, she also wondered how five years could bring about such a drastic change in a person?
Yun Shu bowed to Madam Gu and then went directly to the bedside, looking at Gu Zhiruo, who lay on the bed, unconscious.
Gu Zhiruo's face was devoid of color, and even her lips were pale.
She exuded an aura of approaching death.
"Have you been taking the medicine on time?" Yun Shu turned to ask Wanqing, her voice sharp.
Wanqing was startled, "Miss takes her medicine on time every day, but..."
"But what?"
