Honeysuckle hugged Su Su lovingly and patted her back comfortingly. "Prince Pingwu disappeared into the desert with the remaining mighty soldiers. Their whereabouts are unknown. As for Young Master Ergou, Fuling has already asked someone to investigate, but there's no news of him yet..."

Su Su slumped back on the couch, looking a little dazed. "Our Ergou is so powerful, he will be fine..."

"Is that right..." She raised her head and looked at Honeysuckle with a fragile look on her face. Seeing her nod affirmatively, she forced a smile and murmured to herself to comfort herself.

Ergou will definitely be fine.

In Nanzhao, at Guanyue Villa, far away from the capital, Li Xinglan stood nervously at the foot of the mountain, never having the courage to step onto the straight stone road leading to the villa.

The horse galloped all the way and he did not dare to stop. Now he looked no better than when he was fleeing.

Chuan Zhu felt the same way, he just felt that they were so dirty, like a couple of savages.

Seeing that the young master hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to go up the mountain, he simply asked: "Young master, how about we find a place to clean up first, and then you can prepare yourself mentally?"

Li Xinglan thought about it and rejected his proposal, "You wait for me at the foot of the mountain, I will go up by myself."

When Li Xinglan knocked on the vermilion gate of the villa, his heart was beating wildly. He felt a mixture of anticipation and fear. Would his mother... hug him like she did when he was a child, or would she look at him with hatred?

The person who opened the door was a young maid, who was frightened at first by Li Xinglan's rough appearance.

After hearing his introduction, the little maid said, "Wait for me to ask for instructions." Then she closed the door and ran away.

In less than an incense stick of time, the little maid came back with two guards behind her. She invited Li Xinglan in.

Following behind them, Li Xinglan looked around silently. This was where his mother lived. As the spy had said, the environment was indeed quite good.

Stopping in front of a small bamboo house on stilts, Li Xinglan watched the little maid knock on the door. When an inaudible but familiar voice deeply buried in his memory came from inside, he clenched his fists nervously, and even his steps into the room seemed a little unsteady.

A strong herbal smell hit his face. Looking at the haggard and barely breathing woman lying on the bed, Li Xinglan stood there in a daze, not daring to move forward.

"Li Xinglan?" It was a male voice.

Only then did Li Xinglan notice that there was a tall, strange man standing at the head of the bed.

Is this my father’s good brother?

As soon as Chen Ye saw Li Xinglan, he knew that he must be Yingyue's son. Although his body was a little dirty, a closer look at his eyebrows and eyes showed that they were exactly like two peas in a pod.

His eyes were filled with guilt. It was because he arrived too late that the mother and son were separated for so many years.

"Xinglan... my Xinglan..." Jiang Yingyue struggled to stand up, calling the name of her own flesh and blood anxiously. A tear ran down her temple. Her son, was he really still alive?

With Chen Ye's support, she slowly sat up, leaned her back against the soft pillow, and called Li Xinglan over.

She didn't care about his unkempt appearance. She lifted his messy hair, carefully wiped his face with a handkerchief, and looked at him carefully for a long time.

When she saw the red teardrop mole, Jiang Yingyue used all her strength to hug Li Xinglan and cried out, "It's really my Xinglan! It's my baby!"

She always thought that she had killed her own child with her own hands, so when Chen Ye arrived and saved her on the guillotine, she did not appreciate it. She just wanted to die and did not want to stay alone in this world anymore.

Fortunately, fortunately she managed to survive, because Chen Ye swore that anyone who had bullied them mother and son would go to hell to be judged!

The moment of recognition was truly moving, and everyone present was moved. As Su Su said, no mother would hate her own child.

Someone was sent to look for Chuanzhu at the foot of the mountain. Li Xinglan also went to the bathroom to clean himself. When he came out, his handsome appearance made the little maid who had just opened the door blush.

She was even embarrassed to look at him any longer. Oh my god, how could he be so handsome? He had completely inherited Madam Yingyue's beauty, so beautiful that it was impossible to take your eyes off him!

At Chen Ye's strong request, and most importantly Jiang Yingyue's persuasion, Li Xinglan decided to stay a little longer.

When he goes back, he can run faster. This time he will definitely not break his promise and will definitely get back before the Spring Festival.

In the past two days, with his company, my mother's condition has obviously improved a lot, and he even took her pulse personally.

My heart aches. Over the past decade or so, my mother's health has been severely damaged and has reached its limit...

Perhaps because she could see the worry between his brows, Jiang Yingyue was very open-minded. She was already very satisfied to be able to see her son at his dying moment.

She patted his hand gently, "Tell your story to mother more, okay?"

"Okay!" Li Xinglan sat on the edge of the bed and continued to slowly tell his story.

Jiang Yingyue looked at him sideways, looking at him seriously, forcing herself to listen attentively. Fortunately, his baby finally found happiness after all the hardships and met a good person.

When Jiang Yingyue heard him talking about his sweetheart, she also curled up the corners of her lips happily. Her baby's eyes were shining when he talked about that girl.

She felt even more comforted in her heart. It was so great. Her Xinglan also found someone she loved. She no longer had any regrets...

It was a warm moment when Chuan Zhu came running in. Although he couldn't bear to disturb the young master, the situation was really urgent.

"Young Master! I just overheard General Chen's secret guard report that the Third Prince committed treason, the Mighty Army was defeated, and the Jin people and Qixia have officially declared war!!!"

"What!" Li Xinglan was shocked. "So fast?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ye rushed in anxiously. He glared at Chuan Zhu and said, "Damn it! This guy is too fast. He still managed to tell the truth!"

As expected, Li Xinglan couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and wanted to rush back, but then he thought of Jiang Yingyue behind him. He paused, turned around, and met her reluctant eyes.

"Mother..." He felt so guilty that he didn't know how to start, but he had to rush back no matter what!

Jiang Yingyue looked at Li Xinglan deeply, as if she wanted to engrave his appearance into her mind. She waved at him and asked him to sit over.

Li Xinglan bit his lip and sat back in a state of great confusion. He thought his mother wanted to persuade him not to leave, but unexpectedly, she just stroked his eyebrows carefully with a trembling hand, "Go, son, you must protect her!"

"Mom! You must take care of yourself and cooperate with the treatment. I will go back and bring Su Su to see you!" Li Xinglan's eyes were also red, and he hugged Jiang Yingyue and was reluctant to let go.

"Okay, mother will wait for you and your daughter-in-law here." Jiang Yingyue took out a jade pendant from under the pillow and said, "Give it to your daughter-in-law for mother first."

After taking the jade pendant, Li Xinglan couldn't help but shed a tear.

He remembered that this jade pendant was given to his mother by his father. Whenever she was about to give up, she would hold the jade pendant and call out his father's name.

The journey was long and the carriages were slow. Both mother and son knew that perhaps this separation would be forever.

"Go quickly, son. Don't break your promise!" In the end, Jiang Yingyue hardened her heart and urged him to leave.

Li Xinglan responded, lifted his robe, knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily to Jiang Yingyue, then stood up and left resolutely.

He didn't dare look back, didn't dare to see his mother's reluctant expression again.
