Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 454 Congratulations

General House

Shu Xiaoxiao was still sleeping quietly in the gorgeous quilt, with picturesque features and fair skin, like a delicate flower, quietly blooming her beauty.

Such a beautiful scene made the person guarding the bed very sad. He wanted her to wake up immediately and jump around, just not to sleep like this forever.

Ye Xue Ning had fainted several times while guarding the bed. Others would come to check on her from time to time. However, for a few days, Shu Xiaoxiao had been kept alive by the best ginseng soup, and her complexion had hardly changed. However, the people guarding the bed had bloodshot eyes and deep dark circles under their eyes, and they looked very tired.

Yun Qinghan looked for all the famous doctors nearby, but heard almost no different answers. Now, looking at his junior brother lying on the bed without any life, he felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe.

In his impression, his junior brother was lively and smart, and his smile made people happy. Now Yun Qinghan felt distressed and wished he could take his place.

Carefully feeding the ginseng soup in the spoon into Shu Xiaoxiao's mouth, Yun Qinghan's usually handsome face was now full of sadness, his eyes drooped, and his gaze was like a lake blown by the cold wind, revealing deep sadness and fear in his calmness.

He knew that he liked his junior, but this liking did start with family affection. His junior gave him the feeling of a family member, and then it slowly turned into liking. He always thought that this liking was more of family affection than love, or more of a habit, accustomed to the gifts his junior gave him, and accustomed to his junior's care.

Once he got used to it, he couldn't leave it. He would think of his junior fellow apprentice from time to time and look forward to getting along with him. His childhood experiences made him yearn for pure family affection and pure care. His parents were not around, his uncle was busy with government affairs, and his master had to take care of not only the students in the academy but also the farmland. Although everyone cared about him, they also had their own things to do.

He longs to be cared for and kept in mind all the time, like a family member, not because of his status or position, but simply because he is who he is.

He had grown up and knew the cruelty of this world, so he had suppressed this desire deep in his heart, and kept it buried forever without any hope.

But when he no longer had any hope, his junior fellow apprentice appeared. His junior fellow apprentice saw light in his eyes, which were always sparkling. It was not because of his identity, but just because he... was good-looking?

Every time his junior fellow apprentice saw him, his eyes sparkled with pure admiration and amazement, without a trace of filthiness. Being looked at in that light, Yun Qinghan rarely felt the slightest bit of disgust, and even felt that this boy had good taste.

My junior fellow apprentice was quite capable. As soon as he entered the academy, he responded to the headmaster's request and started farming.

He did his work properly, but he was a little greedy. He couldn't take his eyes off the food, as if he was always hungry. But when there was delicious food, he would put it aside.

Looking at his troubles and Master Wuyou's prediction, he directly invited Shu Xiaoxiao to have dinner together. These things were not worth mentioning to him, but they were like treasures to his junior brother. Then his junior brother looked at him with brighter eyes, became closer to him, and dared to tell him anything without any fear.

Whenever he came across something good, he would always give him a share. He was also very caring towards him and treated him with respect and closeness like a senior brother, making him feel like he had a younger brother.

Later, he went to the border. Thinking that he loved to eat so much, he left the yard to her so that she wouldn't be greedy all day long. It was a pity that after his departure, the brother he had raised with great difficulty might become estranged from him in the future. Although it was a pity, Yun Qinghan didn't take it to heart at all, because no matter what the relationship was, separation was inevitable.

Until he received a package from his junior brother at the border, he thought that his junior brother still had some conscience and finally fed him. However, he did not expect that the package would be delivered to him until he returned to Beijing. During this period, the package was never missing. Those packages and food really accompanied him through the most difficult times.

The food, things to use, and drinks not only make people envious, but also make him feel that he is not alone no matter where he is. That feeling is really good.

Perhaps his feelings towards his junior brother had changed at that time, but he did not notice it himself. Later, when he returned to Beijing, his junior brother's appearance made his heart beat faster. His junior brother was very cute when he was a child, but he did not expect that the grown-up junior brother would be even more lively and more handsome than he had imagined, so handsome that he could not take his eyes off him.

He also admired his junior fellow apprentice's abilities. Although he was so capable and had solved so many problems for Daning, he remained the same as usual, without any ambition. He was simple and kind, and lived a comfortable and carefree life. That ease and happiness made him both envious and moved.

My heart is beating. Yes, it is beating.

At first he just felt happy, but later he found that he was slowly developing greed for his fellow apprentice. He was not satisfied with being just brothers and relatives with his fellow apprentice, he wanted to go further.

Fortunately, his junior fellow apprentice did not resist his closeness. For the first time, he was grateful that he had a face that his junior fellow apprentice liked. Later, when he found out that his junior fellow apprentice was a girl, no one knew how happy he was. He was not happy that his junior fellow apprentice was a girl, but he was happy that he and his junior fellow apprentice could be together openly.

He didn't have to worry about his family's obstruction, the world's gossip, or his junior fellow disciple leaving him due to external pressure. At that time, he was even grateful to God, because the appearance of his junior fellow disciple was enough to make up for all his previous regrets.

But what was going on? Why was Junior Brother unconscious? Was he really unworthy of having feelings?

He would rather be the one lying in bed than have his junior brother stay healthy.

Three days, it has been three days, and there is still no movement from his junior brother, and there is no news from the destined person that Master Wuyou mentioned. Yun Qinghan can no longer wait.

Because of Master Wuyou’s words, Yun Qinghan and the General’s Mansion felt a little relieved, because they knew that their junior brother would be fine.

But it has been three days now, and Shu Xiaoxiao is still lying on the bed silently. Her originally rosy face has now turned a little pale. They really can't wait any longer. If they continue to lie like this, even if nothing is wrong, something will become wrong.

"Brother, don't worry, you will be fine. It doesn't matter if you can't find your destined person. I will go to Yunguang Temple to find Master Wuyou. Since Master Wuyou knows the destined person, he must know what's wrong with you. With Master Wuyou here, you will be fine."

Ye Xue Ning and Shu Tingyu beside them were hesitant to talk. Master Wuyou had a special status in Daning and had many believers. Even the emperor had to give Master Wuyou some face. Now Master Wuyou said he was in seclusion, but in fact he was unwilling to help.

Seeing that Prince Yun was about to force his way in, this was really not a wise move. But looking at his sister lying on the bed, Shu Tingyu really couldn't say no.

"Prince, I will go with you. I will ask Master Wuyou to come out of seclusion even if it means begging him to do so."

"Brother, I'm going too!" Shu Tingfei said hurriedly. The young man who was usually full of vigor and vitality was now listless, with worry and determination in his eyes.

"You and mother stay here. My sister cannot be confirmed here. You two stay here to look after her. Prince Yun and I will go together. It is better to have fewer people rather than more."

At this moment, his sister is in a coma and his mother seems to be absent-minded. He won't feel at ease if no one is watching over them. Now his wife and sister-in-law have to take care of the affairs of the house, take care of his mother, and also the visiting doctor, so they are very busy.

Mother and sister are in the condition they are in now, so they should at least have a man to look after them.

The two were just about to set off when Huo Feng came to report that the emperor had summoned them, and whispered, "Maybe we've found the person that Master Wuyou mentioned."

He heard that the Emperor summoned Taoist Qingzhu in the palace, and then summoned the Crown Prince. Since Taoist Qingzhu was summoned by the Emperor, it was very likely that he was the destined person for Lord Ye. Also, he had not forgotten the formation that Taoist Qingzhu had helped them to break before, so this Taoist Qingzhu was very likely the destined person they were looking for.

After all, given Lord Ye's current condition, medical skills are obviously useless, so perhaps he needs the help of some mysterious people like monks or Taoist priests.

To be honest, Huo Fengshi did not recommend the prince to go to Yunguang Temple unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, Master Wuyou had many followers. If the prince said something too harsh, it would most likely arouse public anger, which would be bad for the prince's reputation.

Yun Qinghan's eyes lit up. The importance of his junior brother to the emperor was self-evident. Summoning him now might really mean that his junior brother could be saved.

"Oh, and Lord Shu also needs to follow the prince into the palace. The emperor has important matters to discuss with you," Huo Feng added.

Yun Qinghan and Shu Tingyu looked at each other and hurried to the palace.

After entering the palace, Yun Qinghan went straight into the hall while Shu Tingyu waited outside. Although they didn't know the reason, no one dared to point out any objection.

Yun Qinghan entered the palace and after paying his respects, he first saw Taoist Qingzhu standing beside him, then looked at the emperor expectantly, his voice a little hoarse: "Uncle?"

"Look at this!"

He said while holding up the note in his hand.

The eunuch next to him took it respectfully with both hands and then handed it to Yun Qinghan.

Looking at the words "冲喜" (chongxi) and his own birth date, Yun Qinghan immediately knew what was going on. Without any hesitation, he said directly, "Uncle, Qinghan is willing. Please grant me the marriage!"

In his heart, his junior brother has long been his wife, and they will get married sooner or later. Getting married now can wake up his junior brother, and he will definitely agree. It's just a pity that time is too short and the wedding may not be grand enough. However, with the emperor's blessing of the marriage, it should be better.

Emperor Jingming sighed and said, "Let Lord Shu come in!" He guessed that Qinghan would have this reaction, so he called Shu Tingyu as well.

General Shu is not here at the moment. As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father, so Shu Tingyu, the eldest brother, can make the decision. As long as they all nod, the marriage can start as soon as possible.

Shu Tingyu, who was anxious outside, heard the emperor summoning him and hurried into the hall.
