Tiger Head and Little Lion also flew towards their younger siblings and picked them up. As they hugged each other, they laughed out loud.
Qi Haoran looked at them and then at the guards behind them. He recalled that he had just received a pigeon letter from Little Bear last night. In the letter, it was clearly said that these two brats had gone to inspect the farmland. Why were they here today?
Qi Haoran glared at them.
After Tiger Head and Little Lion hugged their younger siblings for a while, they happily went over to greet their parents. "Daddy, it’s great that you’re fine. We were shocked when we found out that you were poisoned."
Then, they snuggled up to Mu Yangling. "Mother, we were almost scared to death after hearing that you went missing."
Qi Haoran glared at them and said, "Stop changing the topic. Did you sneak here without anyone knowing?"
Tiger Head and Little Lion nodded proudly. "That’s right. The people in the capital probably still have no idea that we’ve left home."
Qi Haoran glared at them and turned around to look for something to beat them up with. Now, even Mu Yangling was no longer protecting them.
Seeing Qi Haoran pick up a tree branch and stepping forward to beat them up, the two children shouted indignantly as they ran, "Why are they allowed to hide things from us whereas we’re not allowed to hide it from them?"
Tiger Head and Little Lion couldn’t help but tear up when they said this. They shouted, "We’ve all grown up. Why does everyone still hide everything from us?"
Little Lion’s eyes only turned red, whereas Tiger Head couldn’t help but cry out loud. As he cried, he shouted, "Royal Uncle didn’t tell us that he was poisoned. Daddy, you didn’t tell us that you were going to exchange blood with Royal Uncle. You even hid from us that Mother and our younger siblings had gone missing. We’ve all grown up. Why didn’t you tell us?"
Little Lion raised his hand to wipe his tears as Tiger Head continued between sobs, "If Brother Little An hadn’t helped us, we might still be foolishly staying in the palace."
Little Lion raised his hand foolishly and couldn’t help but secretly glare at Tiger Head. Why did he expose them!
As Tiger Head was wiping his tears, he didn’t see the look in Little Lion’s eyes. He continued to say aggrievedly, "All of you hid things from us. Hmph, we’ll do the same to you guys, too. This way, you’ll know what it feels like to have the truth kept from you."
Qi Haoran opened his mouth, not knowing how to discipline his two aggrieved sons. He could only say with a straight face, "You’re covered in sweat. Hurry up and take a shower!"
It was a form of acknowledgement.
Mu Yangling grabbed the two children and asked, "Does Uncle Fan know that Little An helped you run away from home?"
Stunned, Tiger Head opened his mouth and asked, "Mother, how did you know that Brother Little An helped us run away from home?"
Mu Yangling: "..."
Qi Haoran flew into a rage and punched him. "You said it yourself, brat. How many times have I told you to think before you speak? Otherwise, don’t open your mouth!"
Tiger Head hugged his head and ran away, shouting, "Uncle Fan said that I’m like you in this aspect. There’s no need to change it!"
Qi Haoran choked.
Mu Yangling couldn’t help but burst out laughing and let the two children take a shower.
She grabbed Qi Haoran’s hand and said, "Alright, Zijin definitely doesn’t know about this. Quickly write a letter to him and ask him to be gentler to Little An. Don’t scare the child."
Qi Haoran hummed and went to write a letter to Fan Zijin.
The guard quickly followed and handed Chief Physician Hua’s letter to him.
Qi Haoran opened it nonchalantly, but when he saw the contents, his expression gradually turned solemn.
After grinding the ink for him, Mu Yangling couldn’t help but ask curiously, "What’s wrong?"
Qi Haoran handed the letter to her with a solemn expression and said, "Even if the poison in Big Brother’s body is fully neutralized, the damage to his body is still very serious. He needs exotic herbs and the help of famous doctors, but Chief Physician Hua said that Big Brother isn’t too keen on receiving treatment."
Mu Yangling asked anxiously, "Then what should we do?"
Qi Haoran fell into deep thought. The joy of reuniting with his family was instantly shattered by this news.
Even when he went to bed at night, he was not in a good mood.
Qi Haoran turned over again and couldn’t help but hug Mu Yangling. "Ah Ling, let’s not go back to the capital, okay?"
Mu Yangling lay in his arms and said in understanding, "You want to help Big Brother find a famous doctor and herbs?"
Qi Haoran nodded and said, "In any case, there’s nothing to do when we return to the capital. In any case, Little Bear has grown up and will be fine on his own. Let’s bring Tiger Head and Little Lion along and leave together as a family, okay?"
"But if Big Brother doesn’t want to receive treatment, it’s useless even if you find him famous doctors and herbs."
"Don’t worry." Qi Haoran said almost inaudibly, "I’ll have a way to make him accept it..."
Qi Haoran’s method was very simple. He got the guards to think of a way to bring the two imperial physicians in.
By the time the imperial physicians were carried up the mountain, they were already half-dead. As this was the first time the guards were carrying such a heavy thing, they fell several times on the way. Every time they fell, they would sink into the mud.
Skilled in martial arts, the guards would at most suffer superficial wounds when they fell down. However, the imperial physicians were almost scared to death. When they climbed halfway up the mountain, they were already sprawled on the ground.
They thought that something had happened to King Rong since they were ordered to be carried in so hurriedly. When they reached the middle of the mountain, even if they couldn’t stand up, they had to climb their way to King Rong.
Qi Haoran was sitting in a thatched hut with a sword in his hand. When he saw the two imperial physicians being helped in, he looked up with a cold glint in his eyes. He directly drew his sword and glided it across their necks, nearly touching it...
Considering this sword had followed Qi Haoran to battle and kill enemies, it reeked of blood.
Frightened, the two imperial physicians immediately knelt on the ground and said with a trembling voice, "Y—Your Highness, I—I don’t know what we did wrong..."
Qi Haoran sneered. "You didn’t do anything wrong. It’s just that I need your cooperation on something. It’s best if you obey. If you don’t, then the sword in my hand..."
Qi Haoran snorted.
Trembling, the two imperial physicians asked in fear, "What is it?"
"The poison in my body runs deep. I used my inner energy before detoxifying it, and failed to suppress the toxins—it’s caused serious damage. On top of that, I’ve been pushing myself day and night, even coughing up blood several times. Now, I’m barely breathing in... and not breathing out."
The two imperial physicians silently looked at the dominnering-looking Qi Haoran who was holding a sword in his hand.
Qi Haoran continued, "Even if you can cure my poison, it will be very difficult for me to use my internal energy in the future. Moreover, my lifespan is less than three to five years. If I wish to live longer, I’ll have to seek the help of famous doctors and condition my body using herbs."
After some deliberation, the two imperial physicians asked, "So what do you mean, King Rong?"
"Just write a secret memorial to His Majesty according to what I’ve said. Remember, I don’t want to tell the Emperor about this, so I did my best to hide it. Although you’re fearful of me, you’re more worried about my health, so you secretly wrote a secret memorial to report to His Majesty."
The two imperial physicians almost vomited blood. Logically speaking, based on how much the Emperor doted on King Rong, even if King Rong wanted to take credit, he shouldn’t have to resort to such a method, right?
Qi Haoran continued, "If you do a good job, I’ll keep you by my side to serve me. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely give you a high position and a generous salary."
The two imperial physicians looked at the sword in his hand that was glistening with an icy light. What else could they do but nod?
