Phoenix Dance: The Eldest Daughter's Physician Consort Shocks the World

Chapter 66 A Lifetime of Love, Growing Old Together

As time went by, Xiao Yichen and Su Yao walked hand in hand through countless springs, summers, autumns, and winters. After the family business stabilized, they thought they could finally enjoy their retirement, but unexpectedly, the wheels of fate turned once again.

One morning, sunlight filtered through thin clouds, dappling the courtyard. Xiao Yichen and Su Yao were enjoying tea at the stone table when the butler rushed in, carrying a letter.

"Master, Madam, an urgent message has arrived from the palace." The steward respectfully handed over the letter.

Xiao Yichen opened the letter, his expression changing slightly. It turned out that a rebellion had suddenly broken out in a small, vassal state on the border, plunging the land into war and displacing countless people. The Emperor intended to send Xiao Yichen to quell the rebellion and stabilize the situation.

"What should we do? Yichen, you are getting older. How can I be at ease letting you go?" Su Yao looked worried and held Xiao Yichen's hand tightly.

Xiao Yichen patted Su Yao's hand and comforted her, "Madam, although I am no longer young, I am still loyal to the emperor. Moreover, this concerns the safety of the people on the frontier, and I cannot back down."

"Father, you must come back safely." Xiao Ling'er also came over at some point, her eyes filled with reluctance and worry.

"Don't worry, Ling'er, Daddy will be careful. You and Mother should take good care of yourselves at home." Xiao Yichen looked at his daughter with affection.

A few days later, Xiao Yichen led his troops to the frontier. Along the way, looking at the familiar mountains and rivers, he was filled with emotion. Although he was confident in quelling the rebellion, he was also well aware of the dangers involved.

Meanwhile, Su Yao was in the capital, praying for Xiao Yichen every day in front of the Buddhist hall. She wasn't idle either; relying on the connections and prestige she had accumulated in the capital over the years, she organized a team of doctors and volunteers to go to the border to rescue the wounded.

"Sisters, the soldiers on the frontier are fighting a bloody battle. Although we cannot fight on the front lines, we can use our medical skills and love to alleviate their pain and give them hope," Su Yao said to a group of like-minded women, her eyes shining with determination.

Everyone responded enthusiastically, packed their bags, and embarked on their journey to the frontier. Along the way, they overcame numerous difficulties and finally arrived near the battlefield.

At this moment, Xiao Yichen was commanding his soldiers in battle against the rebels. His rich experience and effective tactics gradually turned the tide of the battle. However, the rebels were also extremely tenacious, and the fighting became a stalemate.

Su Yao led the medical team, busily treating the wounded in the rear. Ignoring her own exhaustion, she personally bandaged the wounds of the seriously injured and prepared herbal remedies. Her figure moved between the tents, becoming a warm and resilient sight on the battlefield.

"Soldiers, hold on! Lord Xiao will definitely lead us to victory!" Su Yao encouraged the wounded while changing their dressings.

During a fierce battle, Xiao Yichen was unfortunately surrounded by rebel forces. He fought back bravely, but was outnumbered and seriously wounded.

When Su Yao learned of this news, she was frantic with worry. She rushed to the battlefield without hesitation and found Xiao Yichen unconscious in the chaos.

"Yichen, wake up! You can't leave me!" Su Yao cried, tears streaming down her face, as she hugged Xiao Yichen tightly and shouted loudly.

She then quickly treated Xiao Yichen's wounds, using her superb medical skills to try and pull him back from the brink of death. Perhaps moved by their love, Xiao Yichen gradually regained consciousness.

"Su Yao, I thought I would never see you again..." Xiao Yichen said weakly, his eyes filled with deep affection.

"Don't talk nonsense, I won't let anything happen to you." Su Yao sobbed uncontrollably, holding his hand tightly.

Under Su Yao's meticulous care, Xiao Yichen's injuries gradually improved. This injury also strengthened his resolve to end the war as soon as possible and return to Su Yao's side.

Finally, under Xiao Yichen's command, the soldiers launched a final all-out attack and successfully quelled the rebellion. Peace was restored to the frontier, and the people cheered with joy, deeply grateful to Xiao Yichen.

Xiao Yichen returned to the capital, basking in the glory of victory and utterly exhausted. Su Yao had been waiting at the city gate for a long time, and when she saw Xiao Yichen return safely, tears welled up in her eyes once more.

"Yichen, you're finally back." Su Yao threw herself into Xiao Yichen's arms, as if she wanted to release all the worries and longing she had felt over the past few days.

"Madam, I'm back. This time, I will never leave you again." Xiao Yichen hugged Su Yao tightly, his eyes filled with the relief of surviving a disaster and the expectation for the future.

After this battle, Xiao Yichen and Su Yao cherished each other even more. They returned home and lived a simple and happy life. Xiao Ling'er and Lin Yu were also very filial, often bringing their children to visit them, and the family lived in harmony.

As time went by, Xiao Yichen and Su Yao's hair turned snow-white, but their hands remained tightly clasped. They often sat in the courtyard, reminiscing about their youth, those sweet and bitter moments becoming their most precious memories.

"Su Yao, meeting you, knowing you, and loving you in this life is my greatest fortune." Xiao Yichen looked at Su Yao, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Yichen, me too. I hope that in the next life, we can continue our destiny." Su Yao said with a smile, her eyes sparkling with tears of happiness.

On a quiet night, Xiao Yichen and Su Yao slept in each other's arms, their faces radiant with contentment and peace. The next day, as the sunlight streamed into the room again, they were still tightly embraced, but they were no longer breathing. Their love story circulated throughout the capital for a long, long time, becoming an eternal model in people's hearts, symbolizing the power of love, loyalty, and perseverance, inspiring generations to pursue their own happiness…
