When the world was in turmoil and wars were raging in various places, the Xiliehou Mansion, which was no less powerful than Beiyu and Nanzhao, was silent.

All the princes in the world thought that the reason why Xiliehou Mansion was so silent was because Xiliehou Ji was planning something big and was holding back some big moves. But the real situation was actually a bit too unexpected.

Because Xiliehou Ji Yuan, who was in his prime of life, suddenly suffered a stroke while he was out hunting, and his whole body became semi-paralyzed. The Xiliehou Mansion is certainly not short of medical masters, but

However, these famous doctors are unable to do anything about Ji Yuan's condition. They can only use medicine to maintain his life, but cannot make him return to normal. And Ji Yuan now eats, drinks, and has diarrhea in bed, and sometimes even

I can't even say a single sharp sentence... This really echoes the old saying, "The sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortune and fortune."

Fortunately, compared to other princely families, the inheritance of the Xiliehou Mansion is the least troubled. Not to mention, Ji Yan has outstanding talents and is a person who is favored by the public. And Xiliehou Ji Yuan is the descendant of the family.

There are only one son and one daughter. Therefore, Ji Yan's position as the heir is inherently unique. And after something happened to Ji Yuan, Ji Yan also performed his filial piety extremely well, and his whole person became more...

He stayed in the Xiliehou Mansion every day and took care of Ji Yuan's food, clothing and daily life.

…

Xilihou Mansion.

Ji Yuan was lying on the bed with his body hunched over. Although under the service of the maid, Ji Yuan's appearance was neat and tidy. However, due to the pain, his originally fair face also showed a trace of sickly wax.

Yellow, and his entire body shape has become thinner than before... He is like an old lion at this time.

Ji Yan was lying on the head of his bed, sleeping deeply, and his originally handsome and delicate face now had a circle of black stubble, and there were even two dark circles on his eyes.

.It can be seen from this that he did not actually get a good night's sleep during this period.

Ji Yuan quietly looked at his sleeping son on the bedside. Although he wanted to cover him with some quilts, he tried several times but could not lift the quilt... In the end, he was moved by Ji Yan's filial piety.

Or was he feeling sad because of his current appearance? Or maybe it was both. In short, he couldn't help but burst into tears when he looked at Ji Yan who was sleeping.

At this moment, the sound of opening the door suddenly came. Ji Yuan heard the sound and stepped over, as if he didn't want to be seen like this. Ji Yan, perhaps because she was too tired, actually opened the door.

The sound fell on deaf ears, but she was still sleeping soundly. The person who came was none other than Ji Yuan's wife and Ji Yan's mother. She was a little thinner than before, her face was bare and she didn't wear any makeup. Her eyes were bare.

It was swollen and swollen, and she had been secretly crying a lot during this period. She looked at her husband on the bed and her son at the bedside, and she couldn't help but shed tears again. Seeing Ji Yuan look at

On his side, she quickly stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears, and forced a smile on her face. She walked forward gently, glanced at her son distressedly, then pulled an unused blanket on the bed and gently draped it over her.

On Ji Yan's body. But he never thought that this slight move would wake up Ji Yan from his deep sleep.

"Mother." Ji Yan raised her head

Come and call.

"Yan'er, go back to your room and take a nap! I'll take care of your father," Mrs. Ji said.

"My son is fine, mother, you should rest more!" Ji Yan said.

"Obey, please go back and get some sleep. With your father looking like this now, you are still needed to play a leading role both inside and outside the Hou Mansion. You must take good care of yourself." Mrs. Ji persuaded Ji Yan.

"Mom, don't worry, Mr. Xiahou is here to help you." Ji Yan comforted her.

"Oh, you kid." Mrs. Ji said helplessly.

"By the way, mother, I want to tell my second uncle about my father's situation and ask him to come back." Ji Yan looked at his mother and said.

Mrs. Ji looked at Ji Yan, thought for a while, and said: "My mother is just a woman, and I can't give you any advice. You'd better discuss this matter with Mr. Xiahou! But you have to remember that our family is different from ordinary people's families."

, your father’s matter is both a family matter and a state matter. Your second uncle still controls all the military power in Xilie.”

Hearing this, Ji Yan glanced at Ji Yuan on the bed and said to Mrs. Ji: "My child understands what mother means. Mother, please don't worry. My second uncle is not this kind of person. You should believe in your father's choice."

"As a mother, I am not questioning your second uncle, but I must be on guard against others..." Mrs. Ji tried to say something else.

But she was interrupted by Ji Yan's words, and Wen Yan consoled her: "Mother, please rest assured. My child understands, mother, don't forget that my child's master is the Taoist Sword Immortal."

Seeing Ji Yan say this, Mrs. Ji finally understood what he meant, nodded and said, "Yan'er, you have confidence in your heart, so I can rest assured."

"Well, mother, please take care of your father first, and your son will come to take your place later." Ji Yan said softly, then turned to Ji Yuan and said, "Father, I will leave first and I will see you later."

When Ji Yuan heard this, he blinked hard and opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Seeing his appearance, Ji Yan and Mrs. Ji also felt sad. Before this, none of them thought that Ji Yuan, who had always been strong and strong, would suddenly suffer from such a disease. He should have been a hero of the generation.

, but I never thought that when he was in his prime, when his wrist, ability and thinking were at their peak, he would go through this ordeal, which was really depressing.

Ji Yan couldn't bear to look any longer and said quickly: "My child is going down first."

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Ji stood up and walked him to the door. Then she lowered her voice and choked with sobs: "Is there any news from Xue'er? Your father was actually asking Xue'er just now."

Hearing this, Ji Yan explained: "When my father's accident happened, my son had already ordered someone to go to Beiyu to bring a letter to my little sister. I think there should be news coming back by now. I'll go check it out later, but this time

That kind of thing also happened in Beiyu not long ago, and the child did not explain the situation to his younger sister in the letter, but just used the excuse that his mother missed her."

"Well, you did the right thing." Mrs. Ji nodded, and continued: "But in your father's situation, you still have to find Xue'er quickly. He is the only one who has you and me.

Your sister's children must also be thinking about your sister at this time."

"Haier understands. After waiting for news, I will send someone to Beiyu." Ji Yan agreed.

"Well, you go and take a nap first! I'll stay with your father." Mrs. Ji said.

"Okay, kid, please leave." Ji Yan responded, turned around and left the room.

…

After returning to his residence, Ji Yan did not go to bed to rest. Instead, he began to deal with some official documents. His father's situation had lasted for more than half a month, and during this more than half a month, he also replaced his father.

Officially processed all the official documents of the Sirie Marquis Mansion. Although he was exhausted from taking time to look after his father every day, when he processed the official documents, he was still meticulous and arranged everything in detail.

Properly.

After finishing all the official documents, he began to write a letter to his second uncle Ji Wan. He wrote very quickly, as if he had already prepared the draft beforehand. In fact, this was indeed the case. Even though his mother did not mention him just now

, he had thought of this a long time ago. Now his father is seriously ill and cannot govern, and all the military power of the Xiliehou Mansion is in the hands of his second uncle Ji Wan. Although he also believes in his father's choice, he

I also know his second uncle quite well, and I feel that this second uncle should be reliable and would not do such rebellious things. However, he is also an extremely rational person. At this time, from the perspective of a superior, he naturally

He knew that he couldn't act based on his emotions. He still had to take necessary precautions. He could trust his second uncle, but he couldn't trust the people under his second uncle. Although it was natural for father to pass on to son, his status seemed to be

He is as stable as a mountain. But he also knows that power often makes people lose their nature. He doesn't know if his second uncle will be able to maintain his original sincerity after seeing his father like this when he comes back. So.

, at this time, he could only make preparations for everything.

However, what he just said to his mother is indeed his truth. He is not worried. He now has a swordsman master as a big supporter. Moreover, his sister also has a swordsman master.

...So, when he wrote this letter, he was full of confidence and did not have any worries. In fact, when he thought of his mother's words just now, he couldn't help but show a playful smile. He just took it as a joke.

His mother was used to listening to dramas, and he admitted that his mother's worries had indeed happened in history. But those situations were usually caused by the sudden death of a monarch, leaving orphans and widows... And he himself? He couldn't help but

He smiled slightly, his face full of confidence. At this moment, he couldn't help but think of his brother-in-law Mu Qiuhuang. He also knew everything about the Beiyu coup. Faced with such a bad situation, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but think of him.

To be able to inherit the position so beautifully. And to be able to directly swallow up half of Yunjiu's territory afterwards... While he admired his brother-in-law Mu Qiuhuang, he was also confident that he could do so beautifully in that situation.

Now, compared with the situation in Beiyu, it can be said that one is in the sky and the other is on the ground. When he thought about it, his second uncle should be so scared that he couldn't sleep after learning about this situation. He even expected that

, if there are no special circumstances, after his second uncle learns the news, he will definitely return to the Hou Mansion alone and hand over military power to him as soon as possible.
