The Second Sister of a Farmer's Family's Path to Imperial Destiny

The next morning, as the city gate opened, a horse galloped towards the General of Cavalry's residence.

"General, this is news from Suining City."

As soon as the servant in front finished speaking, a messy and hurried sound of footsteps came from behind.

"General, I am the guard of His Highness the Fifth Prince, and I have been entrusted by His Highness to deliver a message." The man in black cloth bowed and saluted.

"Please stand up quickly, is there any news from Chengde?" He Xiangan stood up from his chair and said anxiously.

"But should we tell my wife?" the man hesitated. Such an important thing should be heard by both of them together, right?

He Xiangan shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about it for now. She hasn't been in a good mood recently, and I don't know whether your news is good or bad."

The man nodded and said, "The general's second son has indeed been found, but..."

Men and children's problems.

"Just what?" He Xiangan asked with his heart in his throat.

A woman in a fine brocade dress with a cloud goose pattern pressed her ear against the paper-pasted window. She had slept very soundly yesterday and thought that the Buddha felt sorry for her and granted her a sound sleep so that she could wait for her son to return in good health. She was just about to find her husband and ask him to pray with her so that she could also receive the Buddha's blessing.

But she didn't expect that during this search she would happen to hear news about her son, so she stood by the window and listened secretly.

The man hesitated and said, "I am very sorry. Please accept my condolences, General. Your second son committed suicide at the end of last year."

He Xiangan staggered after hearing the news and fell directly onto the stool. He never expected that Chengde would die...

Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the window, as if someone had fallen to the ground. He Xiangan's eyebrows jumped. Could the person who fell be his wife?

He quickly shouted, "Someone, go and have a look."

He stood up by holding on to the handle of a stool, but fell back down on it after a while. His legs were so weak that he couldn't walk to the window to check what was going on.

"Madam, madam, wake up!" The servant who went to check the situation saw that it was the madam lying on the ground, and he couldn't help but panic and shouted loudly.

He Xiangan stood up quickly and said, "House doctor, house doctor, call the house doctor."

The man who came to report was very tactful and stepped forward to support He Xiangan, saying: "General, I will accompany you to see the lady. And I have an important news that I haven't told you yet."

He Xiangan walked quickly out of the house and asked, "Any more news?"

"The general's second son left four descendants, all of whom are alive and well now."

"Really?!" He Xiangan stopped and looked at the man licking his lips, saying in disbelief.

The man continued, "Although the information we are looking for now has physical and eyewitness evidence, we still need the general to verify it in person before we can truly confirm it."

He Xiangan took a deep breath, tried his best to calm himself down, and said, "I understand."

……

The court doctor took out a long silver needle, rubbed it over a candle, then inserted the needle into the lady's acupuncture point. He twisted the needle a few times, and the lady slowly opened her eyes.

The court doctor put away the needle. This kind of situation has happened more than once or twice in the general's mansion. Since she came to this mansion, the general's wife fainted once a month when she was in better condition, and fainted every two or three days when her condition was worse.

Therefore, it was not surprising to hear that my wife had fainted again. It was just that after staying here for so many years, my body seemed to have improved a lot. It seemed that the time I spent on the way to treat my wife this time was much less. Could it be that my running speed had increased?

After being distracted for a moment, he saw the general looking at him nervously, so he said, "General, don't worry, Madam is fine, she just needs to avoid any more major stimulation."

After saying this, he sighed inwardly, how could the general's wife not be stimulated? She was worrying too much every day, which was also a kind of stimulation.

In his opinion, it was a miracle that this lady could live to this day. Perhaps it was because of the good foundation she had when she followed the general in his battles when she was young.

He Xiangan nodded and signaled everyone around him to step back.

"Zhilan, listen to me, Chengde still has four children in Suining City. Do you want to go and see them?"

The woman looked at him helplessly and said, "Really? You are not kidding me?"

He Xiangan smiled, hugged her and said, "Why, you still don't believe me? When have I ever lied to you? But if we want to go to Suining City, we have to make some preparations. We have to wait until you feel better before we go. Otherwise, the road will be bumpy and I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."

The woman shook her head and immediately stood up and said, "I have been waiting for so many years. I really don't want to wait any longer. I will let Lin'er pack up now and we will set off immediately."

After saying that, he called Lin'er and went to the back room together to find the things they needed to take.

Looking at the woman in front of him who was so decisive, He Xiangan smiled dotingly. He liked this energy in her at the beginning. No matter how hard or tiring it was, as long as she had an idea in her mind, she would do it immediately.

If this is the case, let the servant make the cushions of the carriage softer and bring a palace doctor with you. This will definitely provide a lot of protection.

Thinking of this, he also needed to inform His Majesty, otherwise a general who once held military power would leave the capital without a word, taking his wife with him. Moreover, he had two sons who were currently serving as military officers in the capital and also commanded some troops.

Who would believe me if I told others that I was just going to look for my child?

……

The man who had been waiting outside the courtyard saw the general walking out quickly and immediately asked, "I wonder what the general is going to do now?"

"Let's go to Suining City first. It's time to meet my grandchildren. Perhaps I can slowly see traces of my Chengde from their figures."

When the man heard this, he knew that the matter was done, so he asked, "What about the Third Prince?"

When leaving Suining City, the Fifth Prince repeatedly emphasized that he must not forget to make this request to the General of Cavalry.

After all, His Highness has been busy for so long just to pave the way for the Third Prince. If he forgets to tell the General of Cavalry about this, he will really be a big sinner.

He Xiangan paused, he almost forgot about it, and was immersed in mixed feelings of sadness and joy. He sighed and said, "I remember your Highness' help to me. But I am already a tiger with its claws plucked out, so I can't help the Third Prince that much."

The man chuckled and said, "Even a tiger with its claws plucked out still has a lot of pressure, let alone you, the general?"

He Xiangan sighed. He really didn't want to get involved in the fight between the princes, but now he also owed the Fifth Prince a favor, so he said, "If other princes seek my support, I will certainly not support it, but I won't support the Third Prince either."

"But if you ever reach a critical moment in the future, Your Highness can come to me for help once, but only this time."
