The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands

The glance was so quick and short that the woman's profile flashed by, and Huo Qiming thought he was dazzled.

Just as he wanted to stop and take a closer look, the horse under his crotch continued to move forward with the army and passed by the window of the restaurant.

Huo Qiming's face twitched, and in a moment of impulse, he wanted to go and find out what was going on.

But before he could move, Su Yun's voice came from the side:

"Son, hurry up and keep up the formation."

Huo Qiming was startled to find that he had pulled the reins tightly and stopped in place without him noticing.

On one side, Huo Zhengfeng and Su Yun were almost half a horse's length ahead of him.

The people on both sides of the road cast puzzled glances at him. Huo Qiming looked up and met the puzzled looks of Huo Zhengfeng and his wife, then regained his composure and drove his horse forward.

However, as he approached the end of the street, Huo Qiming couldn't help but look back and glance at the restaurant that was about to disappear behind him.

The mighty triumphant army disappeared from the long street. Xu Junjun finally ate his fill and poured himself some tea to rinse his mouth.

Jun Xiaochen had already put down his bowl and chopsticks and tidied himself. While Xu Junjun was rinsing her mouth, he asked someone to get a hot handkerchief to wipe the oil stains that accidentally got on her fingertips.

Xu Junjun felt a little uncomfortable. It was the first time she was cared for so carefully.

Even when she was with Niao Niao, she had never taken care of herself like this. Jun Xiaochen, a grown man, usually looked as cold as an iceberg, but she didn't expect that he would be so patient and meticulous in treating his girlfriend.

After cleaning Xu Junjun's fingertips, Jun Xiaochen took another hot handkerchief and lowered his head to wipe his palms.

Xu Junjun looked at the man's slow movements and clicked her tongue impatiently. She snatched the hot towel and quickly wiped his hands.

“Okay, let’s go.

I'm also planning to take you to other places."

Holding Jun Xiaochen's hand, Xu Junjun pulled him downstairs quickly and joined the crowd of people on the long street.

The three generals of the Huo family led their troops back in triumph, attracting too many people to follow and watch the excitement. When Xu Junjun and Jun Xiaochen went downstairs again, there were fewer people on the long street.

However, Xu Junjun's enthusiasm was not diminished at all. After coming out of the restaurant, Xu Junjun took Jun Xiaochen to continue strolling along the long street of the capital. It was not until sunset that Xu Junjun and Jun Xiaochen returned to the mansion together.

The three members of the Huo family who returned triumphantly to Beijing entered the palace from the capital's long street, and did not see the emperor until evening.

The Great Saint Emperor Xiao Tong met with the three people in the imperial study, praised them and rewarded them with countless treasures, and said that he would reward them again when he went to court tomorrow, and then let them return home.

Huo Zhengfeng, Su Yun, Huo Qiming, the three generals of the Huo family returned home to express their gratitude. When they arrived back at the mansion, the sky was full of stars and the moon was on the branches.

Old Madam Huo had not gone to bed yet, so the three of them returned home, changed into casual clothes, and went to visit her in her yard.

There were few lights in the courtyard.

The old lady thought the candlelight was too glaring and ordered people to blow out most of it. Huo Zhengfeng and the other two entered the courtyard and frowned at the dim courtyard, but for some reason they did not say anything.

"General, Madam, Major General, the old lady invites you in."

Nanny Li came out to invite people, and Huo Zhengfeng and others walked into the house.

But just as they reached the door, they heard a heart-wrenching cough coming from the inner room.

The three men's expressions changed and they strode in. They saw the old lady with white hair leaning on the couch.

"mother."

"mother……"

"grandmother."

The three of them ran to the bedside. Huo Qiming quickly took the warm water and pills handed to him by the maid and fed them to the old lady's lips.

The nanny also went around behind the old lady and, together with the maid, gently massaged her back.

The pill slid down his throat, and the heart-wrenching coughing finally stopped. Seeing the bloodstains on the handkerchief in the old lady's hand, Huo Qiming felt a great pain in his heart and his eyes turned red immediately.

Ever since he went to the frontier, he knew that his grandmother's health was deteriorating and she was even on the verge of death.

It was not until that strange young man appeared and gave her many nourishing pills that her health stopped declining so quickly.

But recently, the effectiveness of those pills has gradually decreased. Even if Huo Qiming is unwilling to admit it, he has to prepare for the worst outcome.

grandmother……

I might not make it through this winter...

The three generals who were able to fight bloody battles on the battlefield all had tears in their eyes when they looked at their elder who was struggling like a candle, but they didn't know what to do to make the old lady feel better.

Huo Qiming gritted his teeth:

"Grandma, please bear with me for a moment. I'll go get the doctor right away."

Huo Qiming stood up and was about to leave, but Old Madam Huo grabbed his arm.

Looking at the anxious faces of the father and his two sons, Mrs. Huo coughed a few times and said weakly:

"Grandmother, this is an old illness. There's no need to bother the imperial physician in the middle of the night.

Tomorrow, the three of you sit down. Grandma has something to discuss with you."

Huo Qiming's eyes became even redder, and he had no choice but to stop obediently.

The maid brought chairs for the three of them to sit on. The nanny knew what the old lady wanted to say, so she wiped her eyes, stood up, and led all the maids out.

Su Yun held back her tears and sat down beside Mrs. Huo, supporting her and whispering:

"Mom, you are not feeling well, go to bed early today.

If you have anything to say, we can talk about it in a few days."

"Let's talk about it today."

Mrs. Huo shook her head and looked at Huo Qiming, her voice weak:

"Tomorrow...

come here."

Huo Qiming knelt before Madam Huo and held her outstretched hand. Feeling the withered back of the old woman's hand in his palm, Huo Qiming felt heartbroken.

"Grandma, you speak, and I listen."

"Ming'er, do you blame your grandmother?"

Most of Madam Huo's vitality had dissipated, her voice was extremely unstable, and she gasped for breath after just a few words.

Looking at Mrs. Huo's sunken cheeks, Huo Qiming shook his head with red eyes:

"My grandmother always cared about her grandson, and she never blamed her.

It has always been the grandson's ignorance that has caused his grandmother excessive worry, which has shortened her lifespan.

If anyone is to blame, it should be the grandmother blaming her grandson."

Huo Zhengfeng and Sun Yun were beside her with tears in their eyes. Old Madam Huo took a deep breath to gather her energy, then smiled lovingly and said slowly:

“Ming’er, you are the only one in Zhengfeng’s lineage.

From childhood to adulthood, your character, knowledge and even martial arts training have all made your grandmother very satisfied.

You are an excellent child. When your grandmother passes away, you must assist your parents and protect the border defense line for the Great Sage, so as not to bring shame to the reputation of my Huo family.

There is only one thing that Grandma is worried about, so I want to tell you..."
