Chapter 2079: Extra Edition 61: Bonds Near and Far

Years have passed without meeting, and upon reunion, Wufu also learned about the current situations of his two friends.

Guan Chuying had given birth to a daughter and a son, while Changping had two sons. Although they couldn’t bring all their children, they still presented gifts upon meeting.

Wufu also let them meet Little Bun.

"Looking at the eyes, they resemble you more, the rest looks like the prince?" Guan Chuying commented.

Wufu smiled and nodded, "That’s what everyone says."

"Clearly a dragon among men," Guan Chuying praised, and presented a valuable Jade Pendant as a gift.

Changping gave a set of the Four Treasures of the Study.

After seeing the children, they dismissed the servants, and as if in their younger days, they sat by the window drinking tea and chatting.

"Wufu, years have passed, are you well? You seem thinner than before, and your energy doesn’t seem quite as strong," Guan Chuying asked with concern.

Changping agreed wholeheartedly.

Wufu was never fat before, but she was full of spirit. Now, Wufu seemed a bit frail, her complexion slightly pale. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt there was a faint scent of medicine around Wufu.

After meeting Little Bun, the scent of medicine became even stronger.

Holding her tea, Wufu said, "I’ve been with the prince on expeditions these past years. Last year, while pregnant with Little Bun, I fell into an ambush and he was born prematurely, with great damage to his health, and he is still recovering."

"Is it because of this? No wonder I smelled the medicine," Guan Chuying was shocked, and her tone grew more anxious, "And now? Are you recuperating? Don’t rely on youth, childbirth is like passing through Ghost Gate Pass, you’ve suffered greatly, you must be careful to nurture your health, recover for a couple of years, and don’t rush to have another child."

Hearing her concern, Wufu felt warmed and smiled, "I am recuperating, eating medicinal diets daily, I’ve become like a medicine jar."

"Bitter medicine is good medicine, you must take it for your health," Guan Chuying chided.

Wufu nodded, and turned to Changping, "Changping, I..."

Changping hesitated, seeing the unspoken words in Wufu’s eyes, and couldn’t help but laugh, "Don’t say any apologies, in the rivalry between kings, Zhao Mingjun himself couldn’t defend his throne, it’s no fault of others. Besides..."

She sneered, "Rather than let the Fan Family ruin the kingdom, it’s better that Beiyan took over, at least sparing the people some suffering."

Wufu was a bit surprised.

Then Guan Chuying said, "Even though the former emperor ascended the throne, the court affairs these years have been controlled by the Fan Family, causing the people to suffer. Even a servant of the Fan Family could step on the descendants of prestigious families, flaunting their power arrogantly."

Wufu said, "The more glorious, the more the fall. The Fan Family won’t have it good."

Zhao Mingjun had made a final stand before his death, and now the Fan Family members are still in the Heavenly Prison.

Listening to this, Guan Chuying knew that the Fan Family would never recover, and couldn’t help but relax her brows.

"Is your husband in the court?"

Guan Chuying’s heart stirred, "He passed the imperial examination held by Emperor Jiaping upon his ascension and entered the Hanlin Academy, but these years with the Fan Family dominating the court, he has grown a bit discouraged. Last year, he resigned and idled at home, intending to go to the local government, but my father-in-law said since there’s unrest, it’s better to stay at home and educate the family descendants first."

Wufu patted her hand, "Sheng Mingan is from a prestigious family, with a noble family tradition. As long as he is talented, when the new dynasty needs people, it won’t overlook him."

Guan Chuying’s eyes lit up with joy, and she expressed gratitude silently, knowing that her husband is ambitious, she naturally doesn’t want him idling at home.

Wufu turned again to Changping, who then smiled bitterly, "My husband says he wants to join the army."
