Yancui Palace.

With a loud bang, a copper bell fell to the ground. A stick of incense suddenly fell out of the incense burner, and the voice of the person who was kneeling on the cushion and chanting also stopped abruptly.

"Why is it like this again? This is not a good sign!"

The owner of the voice slowly stood up, and the waiter beside him immediately went up to support him. He said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. His Highness has now returned with Princess Rongyue, and he must have acknowledged his identity. After all, that day has come!"

"Yes, he is already twenty this year. People with a seductive poison body cannot live past twenty, so he is probably nearing the end of his life! That's why she sent him to marry a foreign prince, to squeeze out his surplus value!"

Behind the curtain, an elegant man slowly walked out. Time seemed to have left few traces on his body. He looked like an older Nangong Ziqiu.

As the two were talking, a waiter came in to report that the Crown Princess and Princess Rongyue had come to pay a visit to Liu Guijun.

"What? Who did you say is here?"

"Sir, the Crown Princess and Princess Rongyue of the Great Xia Kingdom are here." The waiter's voice became louder.

"Okay, I heard you, please leave!" The waiter beside Liu Guijun waved his hand and said, "Guijun, please go out and entertain the guests!"

"Okay, let me meet Qiu'er's future wife!"

Liu Guijun was about to leave, but stopped and asked, "Daqing, do you think my outfit is appropriate?"

"It's appropriate. Our noble lady is so graceful and elegant that she looks great no matter how she dresses."

"You are just a sweet talker." Liu Guijun smiled and walked out.

Hua Xin sensed Nangong Ziqiu's nervousness and reached out to comfort her: "Don't be nervous, I'm here with you!"

"With Xinxin here, I'm not nervous, it's just that I haven't seen him for a long time."

When Liu Guijun stepped out of the room, he did not immediately notice Hua Xin's figure, but his attention was attracted by the bright red figure not far in front of him.

"Qiu'er!" With just a quick glance, Liu Guijun immediately recognized the child he had been thinking about day and night and had not seen for many years.

"Father!" Nangong Ziqiu turned around upon hearing the voice, knelt on his knees without hesitation, and bowed deeply to Liu Guijun.

"Silly boy, get up quickly. No need to be so polite. Your health is the most important thing. Find a place to sit down!" Liu Guijun hurriedly reached out to support Nangong Ziqiu, wanting to take him to sit next to him.

However, Nangong Ziqiu shook his head firmly to express his refusal.

"Father, this is Xinxin."

At this time, Nangong Ziqiu pointed at Hua Xin who was standing beside him and introduced her to Liu Guijun.

Liu Guijun then turned his gaze to Hua Xin. At this moment, Nangong Xuanling, who had been standing nearby, seemed to have become a transparent person. She pulled Daqing aside to drink tea and chat.

In the side hall, only three of them were left standing quietly.

"Hua Xin greets Mr. Liu Guijun."

Hua Xin behaved elegantly and gracefully, and her words and actions showed the demeanor of a lady from a noble family. All of this made Liu Guijun look at her sideways.

Thinking about what the servant had just reported and the relationship between her son and her, Liu Guijun already knew Hua Xin's true identity.

"Good boy, come and sit down quickly. Qiu'er is not in good health and can't stand being tired." After hearing this, Hua Xin looked at Nangong Ziqiu and sat down as he was told, but neither of them spoke.

After all, there are many people in the inner court of the imperial palace, and the fewer people who know that Nangong Ziqiu has recovered, the better. It would be best if no one knew about it. In this way, when Nangong Ziqiu marries into the Great Xia Kingdom in the future, she can still act under the name of "sick and weak body".

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Liu." Hua Xin nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

"Since you are Qiu'er's future wife, you can call me father like he does." Liu Guijun looked at Hua Xin, who was beautiful and elegant, and was secretly amazed in his heart.

Even in Nanxun, a country full of talented people, it would be difficult to find a woman whose appearance could match hers.

"Then I will respectfully obey your command. I hope my father is well." Hua Xin responded with a smile on her face.

"Okay, okay." Liu Guijun nodded with satisfaction, took off the jade bracelet on her wrist, gently pulled Hua Xin's hand over, and put the bracelet into her palm.

"This bracelet is just a small gift for you. I hope you don't mind it and just accept it quickly! As for Qiu'er's dowry, you don't have to worry. I will prepare it separately." Liu Guijun looked at Hua Xin lovingly and said slowly.

"It doesn't matter. I'm not short of money. Zi Qiu won't suffer any harm if he follows me."

While speaking, Hua Xin looked at Liu Guijun's face carefully. Seeing that he had a good temperament, she thought he was in good health. Unfortunately, she couldn't reveal the fact that she knew medicine for the time being, otherwise she would have to talk more about Nangong Ziqiu's health.

"That's great, but Qiu'er isn't feeling well, please bear with me." Liu Guijun's eyes were filled with worry, which almost shook Hua Xin's decision. Instead, Nangong Ziqiu said, "Don't worry, father. Xinxin knows everything."

"Okay, okay." Liu Guijun didn't say anything more, but when she thought about the fact that Nangong Ziqiu's days were running out, there was an indelible sorrow between her brows.

Hua Xin thought about it and decided to tell him frankly, otherwise Liu Guijun's health would be in trouble sooner or later.

"Father, can I take your pulse?"

Hua Xin asked.

"What? Take the pulse? You..."

Although Liu Guijun asked this, his body was still very honest and he had already stretched out his hand.

Hua Xin just started without saying anything else.

For a moment, the surroundings were so quiet that it seemed that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

Liu Guijun is in good health, but he feels a little depressed, probably because he is worried about Nangong Ziqiu.

"Father, you must relax. Long-term worry and depression are not good for your health."

Hua Xin let go of her hand, but Liu Guijun on the opposite side became uneasy.

"Do you know medical skills?"

Liu Guijun was extremely surprised. She looked at her son again and immediately understood something, but she didn't say anything else.

"Yes! It's out of interest. There are also people from Medicine King Valley accompanying us. If father is worried, you can ask them to come and take a look."

"What? People from Medicine King Valley are here too?"

It must be said that Hua Xin's arrival brought too much good news, and he felt like he could hardly accept it all.

Thinking about it again, since they came here together, they must have some understanding of Nangong Ziqiu's physical condition. No wonder Hua Xin was so confident to accept it, it turned out that he had medical skills!

Does this mean that his son can be saved?

"I know what my father is worried about, and all I can say is 'don't worry'."
