Resisting the Wind and Splendor

“Mother, she is Ali’s third aunt, and the wife of Chu Sanlang.” Lu Beimo asked with some confusion, “You know her?”

To everyone's surprise, Huo Qing had already walked over. Looking at Consort Yu in the carriage, her fingertips trembled with excitement: "...Senior Sister?"

……

Such coincidences do happen in this world.

When Yu Fei was young, she went out to learn martial arts and became a disciple of Gu Zhenren.

Huo Qing is the adopted daughter of Gu Zhenren. The two already knew each other when Yu Fei was learning her skills.

Huo Qing didn't know her senior sister's identity, nor did her master, Master Gu.

Consort Yu often went out to worship Buddha, but in fact, she spent half of her time at Danzhen Residence, something even the Emperor was unaware of.

"Aunt Qing!" Two people got off the carriage behind and rushed to Huo Qing's side.

When Huo Qing first saw them, she was pleasantly surprised, but when she saw them a second time, she felt uneasy.

"I never imagined that the two little ones from back then have grown up so much, and I never imagined that you would be Mo'er's mother."

The eldest sister's identity is mysterious. Huo Qing knew about it a long time ago. Only her master knew about her identity, and she never asked about it.

Yunfei and Xue'er often followed their senior sister, so Huo Qing knew them when they were very young, when they were still very young children.

Having not seen each other for many years, Huo Qing probably wouldn't have recognized them at first glance if they hadn't recognized her immediately and called her Aunt Qing.

But, Xue'er...

She looked at Qin Yuhua, who shook her head and smiled, "We'll talk about Xue'er's matter when we get back. Qing'er, why are you here?"

"Do you still remember Sanlang?" Huo Qing asked softly.

Consort Yu thought for a moment and finally realized: "So the Third Son you mentioned back then was actually the Third Son of the Chu family!"

The world is full of wonders.

Consort Yu truly never expected that Huo Qing would now be living in the Duke's mansion.

Chu Xiaohe and Chu Yueli escorted Consort Yu and the others out, and it was only then that they learned that their third aunt and Consort Yu were actually fellow disciples.

Having not seen each other for many years, Consort Yu had a lot to say to her junior sister, which she couldn't finish in a short time. So she took Huo Qing's hand and pulled her back to her Yonghua Palace.

"So, Xue'er was poisoned by the cold to save Yunfei back then, and now it's reached a point where there's no cure?"

Huo Qing felt a pang of sadness. Qin Muxue was still so young, even a year younger than Ali, yet she had already reached the point of exhaustion.

“I’ve consulted every doctor I could find, both famous and unknown, but everyone has given Xue’er a death sentence, saying she won’t live past eighteen. But in the last two years, Qing’er’s cold poison has been flaring up more and more often, and I’m afraid she won’t even make it to early spring.”

When Qin Muxue's cold poison wasn't acting up, she only appeared somewhat weak, but once it flared up, the pain was excruciating, so intense that she didn't even want to live anymore.

"Does Yunfei know about this?" Huo Qing asked.

Yu Fei shook her head: "Xue'er begged me not to tell Yun Fei. She's afraid that after she dies, Yun Fei will feel guilty for the rest of his life."

"This child is really foolish." However, Qin Muxue is so young, she shouldn't give up so easily: "There are still many famous doctors in the world..."

"Actually, I've been traveling a lot these past few years, and I haven't really spent many days praying to gods and Buddhas. What I'm really doing is searching for renowned doctors for Xue'er, no matter where she is."

Consort Yu sighed and said helplessly, "In fact, His Majesty knows that I have been traveling around to find renowned doctors to treat Xue'er's illness. I have even been to the Southern Frontier..."

Huo Qing's eyes flickered: "You want to find Ali's master?"
