Song Yao glanced at Feng Yingying, shook her head and said, "I won't go to see her. If she really wants to get close to the emperor, the emperor will definitely not let her go!"

"Then why do you believe so much that the emperor will not be seduced by her?" Feng Yingying asked curiously.

"Why?" Song Yao laughed. "First of all, it's impossible for Xu Lingyi to be promoted to the emperor's side so quickly. Secondly, even if she becomes the emperor's maid, the emperor will either drive her away or kill her if he sees her. So I don't have to worry at all now."

"Do you trust the Emperor so much?"

"I didn't believe him before, but now I believe him."

"As long as you think she won't do anything bad," Feng Yingying said, and went to help.

Song Yao glanced at Song Jiaqi who was leaving and went to help.

……

After five days of recruiting, no one came to sign up to join the army.

In just five days, they had recruited 85,000 new soldiers. The number of recruits in other places is still unknown. We will have to wait until those people come back to know how many soldiers they have recruited in total.

On this day, Huaying's external injuries had almost healed. After lying in bed for a few days, she was so bored that she came to wander around the yard by herself.

When Song Yao brought Xiao Suisui and Xiao Youyou to find Huaying, they happened to see Huaying strolling in the yard.

Seeing Song Yao coming, Huaying quickly greeted her, "Miss."

Song Yao walked up to Huaying and asked, "Why don't you ask anyone to accompany you when you go out? What if you fall?"

Huaying smiled and said, "Miss, I'm fine. Besides, I only have an external injury. I don't need anyone to accompany me, and I don't need to lie down for so long."

"Well, how are the injuries on your body?" Song Yao asked with concern.

Huaying smiled and said, "It's already scabbing over. There's no problem at all."

"That's good." Song Yao looked at Xiao Suisui and Xiao Youyou, "Dabao, Xiaobao, call me Aunt Huaying."

"Ah?" Huaying was stunned.

Song Yao smiled and said, "You call me sister, so aren't you my sister? They call you aunt, there's nothing wrong with that, right?"

"But...but..." Huaying wondered how she could have deserved to be the aunt of two princes.

"There's nothing to regret." Song Yao looked at Xiao Youyou and Xiao Suisui beside her, "Come, call her aunt."

Little Youyou nodded obediently, "Hello, auntie."

Little Sui Sui also shouted, "Hello, Auntie."

"Ah, let me see if there's anything I can give you." Huaying said as she frantically searched her body.

Song Yao looked at Xiao Suisui and the others, "Go play, be careful, don't fall."

"Okay, Mom." Xiao Suisui agreed and took Xiao Youyou to play.

Song Yao looked at Huaying, took her hand and said, "Don't look for it, we don't need you to give them anything."

"But..." Huaying was a bit shy and felt really embarrassed.

"Don't feel sorry." Song Yao said, "Look, ever since the Song family was exiled, you have been working tirelessly to help us. You also worked hard to help us plant the crops. Back then, Xiao Suisui and the others were still young, and you always took care of them. So it's only natural for them to call you aunt. Don't feel embarrassed, and don't feel like you owe them anything."

Huaying pursed her lips, "Miss, thank you for thinking so highly of me."

"Don't call me Miss anymore. Call me Sister." Song Yao said, "When the time comes, you can come to the palace with us. I'm so bored and really need a companion."

Huaying smiled. She looked at Song Yao and said, "I have no relatives or friends anyway. I'll go wherever you go."

"Okay!" Song Yao nodded.

Then, Song Yao and Hua Ying entered the house.

Song Yao sat at the table and Huaying poured her tea.

Song Yao picked up the tea and took a sip.

Huaying pursed her lips. Although it was a bit talkative, she still asked, "Sister, do you and the emperor want to have another child?"

Song Yao paused while drinking her tea. She glanced at Hua Ying across from her, finished the tea in her cup, and then looked at her and said, "To be honest, the emperor has inherited the Xiao family's illness, and there's no cure."

Huaying's head buzzed. "What did you say?"

Song Yao pursed her lips. "He lives one day at a time. He definitely can't grow old with me anyway."

Huaying looked at Song Yao in disbelief. "How could this be? How could he have such a disease? Is there nothing Master Qi can do?"

"No!" Song Yao said, "Imperial Physician Qi only allowed him to temporarily delay the onset of the disease. He couldn't cure it completely. Otherwise, so many people in the Xiao family wouldn't have died. Moreover, Prince Wenxuan also had the same disease, so he has been taking Imperial Physician Qi's medicine!"

"..."

Huaying really didn't expect that the Xiao family actually had such a disease?!

Xiao Sui Sui and Xiao You You are both the emperor's biological sons, so the two of them...

Huaying frowned and asked worriedly, "What about the two princes? Did they..."

Song Yao shook her head and said, "They haven't discovered it yet. The probability of inheritance is not 100%. Anyway, it all depends on your fate. The emperor has bad luck, so he inherited it, but Prince Jing is fine. So it all depends on your fate."

Huaying's eyes reddened. "Sister, what will you do? If something happens to the Emperor in the future, what will you do?"

Song Yao had never thought about this problem before, and she usually avoided thinking about it, but now that Huaying brought it up, she completely couldn't hold it back.

Her eyes reddened and tears welled up in her eyes. “I don’t know what to do.”

She covered her face and cried.

Every night when she saw Xiao Chi sleeping beside her, her heart felt like it was being tugged at by someone when she thought about his death in the future.

At that time, she tried to hold back her tears because Xiao Chi was sleeping next to her. If she cried, he would definitely be worried, so she held back her tears.

Now that Xiao Chi is not here, Huaying brought it up again, and she couldn't hold back her emotions anymore.

She really hoped that God would allow her to return to the modern era, so that she could take Xiao Chi with her. As long as they were in the modern era, she could ask the doctor to cure Xiao Chi.

She would cure him no matter how much it cost.

However, they are in ancient times, and it is unknown whether they can go back, so Xiao Chi's fate has already been decided.

Song Yao cried and said, "I don't want him to die. I want him to live well. I really don't want him to die..."

Huaying sat beside Song Yao. Seeing her crying, tears also flowed from her eyes. "Sister, the emperor will be fine. He will definitely be fine. Don't be sad."

Song Yao hugged Huaying and cried even louder.

In the yard, Xiao Sui Sui and Xiao You You were playing hide-and-seek. When they heard their mother crying from inside the house, the two little guys were no longer in the mood to play hide-and-seek and immediately went into the house.
