Murong Cang did not continue the topic and instead asked: “How long will it take for Qianyu to see grandpa again then?”

Yun Qianyu’s heart trembled. She knew Murong Cang’s body very well, and it would last only up to half a year.

“Grandpa…” Murong Yujian called nervously.

Murong Cang looked at Murong Yujian with loving eyes, but his tone was stern, “Yujian, this is reality. You must accept that you are not an ordinary child. What you bear on your shoulders is the rise, fall, honor and disgrace of Nanlou Kingdom.”

Murong Yujian’s eyes were filled with tears, but he resisted letting them fall.

He knew in his heart that his grandfather was about to leave him just like his parents, and then he would really become a loner. No, he still had a relative, and he set his sights on Yun Qianyu.

The voice was uncertain: “Sister Qianyu, you won’t ignore Yujian, right?”

Yun Qianyu’s heart surged with waves that hadn’t been seen for a long time. This familiar sentence was also asked by her younger brother in her previous life.

“Sister, you won’t ignore me, right?”

Yun Qianyu’s eyes fell on Yujian’s still childish face. The same look of expectancy which seemed to say you are my only prayer for salvation, and he and her brother in the previous life were so identical that she couldn’t refuse them.

“You are this sister’s favorite and only brother. I will never abandon you.”

“Sister!” Murong Yujian couldn’t hold back his tears anymore. At this moment, he couldn’t care less about the differences between men and women. He just threw himself into Yun Qianyu’s arms and cried loudly, “Sister, I don’t want the emperor grandfather to die, please save him.”

Yun Qianyu’s heart ached. When her brother, who was far away in this world, saw that she had passed away, had he ever cried and begged the doctor like this?

“Sister has tried her best.”

By the time she found out three years ago, Murong Cang’s poison had already invaded his heart. She and Gong Sangmo worked together to extend his life for three years. Now they were at their wits’ end.

Murong Cang felt uncomfortable and guilty, Qianyu, grandpa is sorry for you. I know you don’t like this, but I still used your feelings for Yujian to involve you. But Grandpa had no choice.

“Qianyu, Xian Wang’s palace cannot participate in the struggle for imperial power. Apart from you, Grandpa has no one he can trust.”

“Grandpa, you don’t have to feel guilty. Even if you don’t act like this today, I will not stand by and watch if Yujian is in trouble in the future.”

Yun Qianyu was thoughtful and naturally saw Murong Cang’s guilt. While she gently patted Yujian’s back to comfort him, she also did not forget to comfort Murong Cang with words.

Murong Cang looked at Yun Qianyu’s magnanimous eyes and suddenly felt that after decades of living, he was not as broad-minded as a little girl.

“Qianyu, thank you!”

Murong Cang’s choked voice made Yun Qianyu feel sad. An emperor like him, who spent his whole life as a soldier, had never said these three words to anyone!

“In what capacity should I protect him? What is Grandpa’s plan?”

“The granddaughter I recognize, you will be the imperial sister of Yujian and the protector princess of Nanlou Kingdom.” Murong Cang pushed an imperial edict in front of Yun Qianyu.

Yun Qianyu’s eyes fell on the imperial edict, but she didn’t open it to read it. She knew that it was the edict naming her the Princess Protector without looking at it.

If he wanted her to protect Murong Yujian, Murong Cang must give her absolute rights. This also required Murong Cang to have absolute trust in Yun Qianyu.

Yun Qianyu knew that the gears of destiny had opened up another life for her!

“Just follow Grandpa’s plan! However, I have to go back to Yungu first.” Yun Qianyu helped Murong Yujian in her arms.

“Okay, grandpa and Yujian will wait for you back in the capital.”

Murong Yujian looked at Yun Qianyu with eyes red from crying.

Murong Cang had never seen his grandson rely so much on anyone but himself. Yujian only let down his guard and showed his fragile side in front of Yun Qianyu. He didn’t know whether this was good or bad, but he knew that Yujian would not be alone after he left.

“Yujian, do you want to be a real man?” Yun Qianyu asked softly.

Murong Yujian’s eyes lit up and he nodded immediately.

“If you want to be a real man, dignity, responsibility, courage, and wisdom are all indispensable! Manhood is a natural character, but it is also something that exudes from the bones, and is accumulated bit by bit through training.”

“Yujian will be better in the future. You are the future emperor of the Nanlou Kingdom, and as an emperor of a country, it is not enough just to be a man. You also need to have rich experience, careful thinking, and a generous mind!”

“Yujian may say, in the future life, you can’t be very sad, nor happy as well, not really! You can occasionally be bad and enjoy yourself! But while being bad, you must be wise; the bad must not be disgusting; the bad must be different; the bad must be wild, the most important thing is to be bad in a moderate way; and to be bad in a suitable way!”

Murong Yujian’s eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened, wasn’t this kind of person someone like Brother Sangmo! It turned out that Brother Sangmo was the perfect man that Sister Qianyu said!

At this time, Murong Cang felt that he had made a very right decision. In a few simple words, she told Yujian the responsibilities he would bear in the future, and at the same time eliminated his fear of living alone in the future! With such thousands of words to teach and support Yujian, he would definitely become a wise king in the future, and also the happiest king.

But Murong Cang still didn’t expect that it was Yun Qianyu’s alternative teaching methods that made Murong Yujian treat Jiangshan and all the ministers as his toys, and he played with them very well! In this way a wise king of the generation was born!

Yun Qianyu and Murong Cang made an appointment to meet in the capital in a month.

After leaving the door, Yun Qianyu saw the tall and straight moon-white figure standing under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree not far away, wearing an exquisite soft robe dancing in the wind. At first glance, he looked extremely elegant!

Gong Sangmo turned around, his phoenix eyes as bright as flowing clouds fell on Yun Qianyu, and he said with a gentle smile: “I’ll take you out!”
