After another day, Yun Qingyan's wound was no longer serious, and the imperial doctor also said that he could move around properly.

However, Yun Qingyan did not return to the palace immediately, but went to Chu Xiping's general's mansion.

Although the border passes are guarded all the year round, the Chu family still has a mansion in the imperial city, but it has been idle. After Chu Xi returned to the imperial city, he naturally lived in the General's Mansion.

"Qingyan, you haven't fully recovered, why did you come over?" Chu Xiping, who heard the report from his subordinates, hurriedly rushed to the gate of the mansion to pick up people, and after seeing Yun Qingyan, his expression was full of worry.

"Uncle, don't worry, I'm fine, and the doctor also said that you can move around properly." Yun Qingyan looked at Chu Xiping with a smile, looking at the worried look on the other party's face, and his heart was slightly warm.

"Even if that's the case, you still have to be careful, if you want to see your uncle, just send someone to say it." Chu Xiping is a person in the army, and compared with those civil officials above the court, he naturally does not pay so much attention to etiquette.

"Uncle, I heard that you punished your cousin for being injured for this?" Yun Qingyan asked as he walked to the mansion with Chu Xiping.

Chu Xiping frowned and nodded slightly, "It's just a small punishment, it's a shame that he is still your cousin, and he didn't protect you at the time, fortunately, you are not in any big trouble now, if something really happens, how can I explain to the emperor and your mother!" ”

Although it was said that this incident happened suddenly, Heng'er had been practicing at the border for so many years, and he had been martial arts since elementary school, but in the end, it was the polite Feng Taifu who reacted quickly and saved Qingyan.

Yun Qingyan thought back to Yun Yao's words, didn't he say that Chu Heng was already in bed, how could it be just a small punishment?

"Uncle, this incident was really sudden, and if it weren't for my cousin at that time, those assassins would have been even more difficult to deal with. No matter what, I have to thank my cousin for this, how can I blame my cousin. ”

Chu Xiping was stunned for a moment, "Qingyan, you came here today to intercede for your cousin?" ”

Yun Qingyan smiled helplessly, "Isn't it too late to ask for mercy now, my cousin has already been punished." It's just that after hearing about my cousin's punishment, I always felt a little sorry in my heart, so I thought about coming to visit. ”

"Uncle thought you came to visit me today, but I didn't expect you to visit your cousin." Chu Xiping smiled heartily, and involuntarily felt a little closer in his heart.

Although Qingyan and Heng'er rarely meet, it seems that the love between the brother and sister is still there, at least they still care about each other.

"Naturally, I also want to visit my uncle, but fortunately, my uncle is still in the imperial city, otherwise we will not see each other a few times, and we will be separated again." Yun Qingyan raised her eyebrows, and there was a smile in her tone.

"That's right, since your mother became the queen, there has been less gathering and more separation between relatives." Chu Xiping sighed, "Like my uncle, I can still come to this imperial city to meet your mother or two, but your grandmother ......."

Chu Xiping didn't continue, but his brows couldn't stop frowning.

Yun Qingyan looked at Chu Xiping's appearance, and involuntarily chuckled in his heart, looking at Chu Xiping's expression, it seemed that he was not just lamenting that it was difficult for Queen Chu and her mother to meet.

"Uncle, is my grandmother's situation okay?"

The look on Chu Xiping's face stiffened for a moment, and after a while, he nodded, "Don't worry, everything is fine." ”

"Uncle, tell me the truth, is everything really okay with my grandmother?"

"This ......" Chu Xiping was silent for a moment and sighed, "That's it, it doesn't hurt to tell you, your grandmother's health has deteriorated since the beginning of this year, and she has seen many doctors, but she still doesn't get better, and some time ago she often had hysteria and hallucinations, thinking that your queen mother went back to see her." ”

"Did my grandmother miss her mother too much and become anxious?" Yun Qingyan asked with a frown.

"You're right, the doctor also mentioned this reason, heart disease still needs heart medicine, but she is already old and in poor health, if she is really allowed to come to the imperial city, I am afraid that my body will not be able to stand it at all along the way. can only drink the decoction all the time to recuperate, hoping that she can slowly relax. ”

After all, my sister is now the queen, and it is impossible for her to leave the palace rashly and return to the border. All he was worried about now was that if something really happened to his mother, his sister might not even be able to see her for the last time.

"By the way, Qingyan, you have to tell your mother about this matter, so as not to worry about her."

"Okay, uncle, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion in my heart." Yun Qingyan responded.

After a brief conversation, Chu Xiping asked Yun Qingyan to take him to see Chu Heng.

Chu Heng was whipped because of the disadvantage of protecting Yun Qingyan, although he said that he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his body was naturally better than others, but this time because it was Chu Xiping who did it himself, he did not show the slightest mercy. Chu Heng lay on the bed for two days before he was able to barely get off the ground.

Hearing the report, it was said that Yun Qingyan was coming, and hurriedly came out of the room to greet him.

"Cousin, I heard that you were injured, I came to visit you." Yun Qingyan saw that Chu Heng's face was indeed much paler than the last time they met.

"Thank you cousin for your concern, it's just that your body hasn't healed yet, so you must not move around at will, so as not to affect the wound."

"Cousin, don't worry, after all, I caused you a burden this time, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been punished by your uncle in a good way." Yun Qingyan walked into the room, and as soon as he entered, he smelled a strong smell of medicine.

"It's not wrong for my father to punish me, after all, I'm a martial arts practitioner, but this time the reaction is too slow, and it hurts your cousin." A little guilt appeared on Chu Heng's face, "Fortunately, cousin, you are safe and sound, otherwise I really don't know how to face my father and aunt." ”

"What are you talking about, cousin, how could you hurt me." Yun Qingyan said with some tears and laughter, "Cousin, you like to take responsibility for yourself too much." ”

"If it weren't for my cousin going to accompany me to the Imperial City, I wouldn't have given those people a chance." Chu Heng paused, "I am responsible for this matter no matter what." ”

"Even if you don't accompany your cousin to visit the Imperial City, as long as others want to do it, they will definitely find other opportunities." Yun Qingyan shrugged his shoulders slightly, with relief in his tone, "So this matter has nothing to do with my cousin at all, and you don't need to take any responsibility for yourself." ”
