Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero

When Cao Mi and his three children arrived at the palace, it was just dark.

Now, most of the cement road from Cannes City to Rongguang Villa has been repaired, otherwise, based on the time they set off, on the dirt road in the past, it is estimated that it will be delayed until the middle of the month.

Qi You didn’t seem to disturb others.

Cao Mi noticed on the way that Kang City was still calm, and even most of the servants in the palace, as usual, did what they had to do.

When they saw Cao Mi returning, they were surprised that the princess came back so eagerly.

Cao Mi also maintained a calm appearance, and brought his three children to the courtyard where Qi You rested.

Originally, the dormitories of the King of Bei’an and the princess were in the same place, but this time, it may be for the convenience of recuperating, so Qi You lived in a side courtyard next to Cao Mi’s courtyard.

The doctor in the mansion had been here long ago and re-wrapped Qi You. Therefore, when Princess Bei’an brought the three young masters into the door, what she saw was Qi Youzheng leaning on the head of the bed, talking to the housekeeper in a low voice.

Aside from his pale face, the young King Bei’an seemed to have nothing wrong with him, but the faint smell of blood permeated the air, reminding everyone of the hidden injuries.

When the butler saw Cao Mi and the four of them coming in, he saluted wisely and retreated outside.

Qi Ruidang walked to the edge of the bed first and asked, “Father… What’s the matter with you?”

Qi You’s eyes swept over the four of them, and said lightly: “It’s not a big deal, I have suffered a little injury, and I will return to the mansion to prepare for a while.”

Qi Rui stared straight at his chest and abdomen wrapped in clean cloth, pursed his lips and said nothing.

The twins stepped up behind their elder brother.

The corners of Qi An’s eyes were a little red, which was caused by anger. He clenched his fists and asked Qi You, “Father, who hurt you?”

Without waiting for Qi You to answer, he pondered for himself: “Did you get injured in Changling? Was it done by the Rong people?”

Qi You made a light “um”.

He did not explain that he was injured when he was out of the plug, and the three children were too young to understand such a thing.

Qi An got such an answer and asked seriously: “Who hurt you? I’ll avenge you!”

Hearing this, the King of Bei’an raised the corner of his lips.

He smiled and said: “It’s good that you have this heart. But the father was injured, and the other party paid a greater price.

“As for the rest, I will also find opportunities to avenge myself.”

He warned: “You are still young, it’s too early to talk about revenge. If you really want to fight, you must remember to study civil and military diligently while staying in the mansion, so that you will be qualified to lead the army in the future.”

Qi An nodded heavily.

During the conversation between the two, Qi Ran, the youngest, climbed onto the bed with his chubby legs.

He didn’t dare to pounce directly into Qi You’s arms as before, so he sat on the inside of the bed, stretched out his chubby hand, and gently touched Qi You’s chest.

“Father, do you hurt?” he asked, blinking some red eyes.

Three children, the eldest is stable, the second is a little aggressive, but fortunately he is willing to listen to teachings. The remaining third child is the most considerate, thinking about his feelings.

Qi You grabbed his hand, shook his head and said, “It doesn’t hurt, it’s just a minor injury.”

The father and son are like this, you talk to me one by one.

Qi An also followed Qi Ran to the bed, while Qi Rui sat on the edge of the bed, Ren Qiyou asked about what they had experienced in the mansion.

Cao Mi felt a little heavy.

She stood there for a while, unable to bear to destroy the picture of the father and son reunion, so she turned around and went outside to ask about the housekeeper.

The housekeeper was not sure about Qi You’s injury, so when Cao Mi asked, he could only shake his head helplessly.

Cao Mi turned and asked, “It’s getting dark, have the prince’s dinner and medicine been arranged?”

The housekeeper nodded and said, “Yes. The doctor is cooking medicine in the courtyard. The kitchen has already ordered it, and dinner can be arranged soon.”

Cao Mi nodded.

The housekeeper looked in the room, and asked for instructions: “Princess, the meals for you and the three young masters… will you also bring them here?”

Cao Mi said, “No need.”

She also turned around and looked at the happy appearance of the four people in the room: “Your Highness has just come back, let him have a good rest.

“I’ll take the three kids away after they talk for a while.”

Hearing this, the butler nodded.

After a while, the cook brought a light medicinal meal specially cooked for the King of Bei’an, and Cao Mi entered the house and brought the three of Qi Rui out.

Although the children did not want to leave like this, they left the bed sensible after all.

Cao Mi and Qi You exchanged glances, and Qi You, whose lips were white, took a deep breath and nodded lightly at her.

Cao Mi moved his eyes away and left here with the children.

After taking care of the three children, having dinner and washing up, Cao Mi sent the twins back to the courtyard.

Everyone’s nerves were tense today, and the two children couldn’t hold on when they came back from Rongguang Villa by car during the day, and they fell asleep almost as soon as they touched the bed.

Cao Mi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the peaceful sleeping faces of the two of them.

The child is settled here, and she finally has time to return to Qiyou’s side to ask the truth of the matter.

But she was just halfway there when she met Qi Rui who was waiting on the side.

The twins were still young, and she had just stayed in their courtyard. Qi Rui said that she would go back to wash and change clothes, and she agreed, thinking that he would fall asleep after cleaning up.

But I didn’t expect that after Qi Rui finished sorting, she directly blocked her on the only way to Qiyou’s yard.

The nearly seven-year-old boy said loudly: “Mother, I am different from the two younger brothers. I have grown up, and I want to go to my father’s side with you to find out the real situation.”

The three of them were in Qi You’s house, and Qi You didn’t say much about his situation at all.

Qi Rui clearly cares about this the most, but he also knows that Qi You is worried about the two little ones.

So he didn’t ask questions on the spot.

Before leaving, he saw Cao Mi and Qi You exchanged glances, knowing that they would find another chance to meet again, so he simply waited here.

Cao Mi exhaled.

In the winter night, this breath quickly melted a hazy white mist in front of her eyes.

She stepped forward, gently took Qi Rui’s shoulder, nodded and said, “Okay, if you want to know, come with me.”

The mother and son returned to Qiyou’s courtyard.

Under the dim candlelight, Qi You’s situation seemed to be worse.

He wasn’t too surprised to see Qi Rui coming with Cao Mi. When Cao Mi and Qi Rui sat down on the edge of the bed, he took the initiative to say, “Don’t worry too much.

“Shenyi Hu is already on his way. He will be there in about two days. After he arrives, I will be fine.”

Cao Mi nodded.

She still had some impressions of this genius doctor.

When the palace was still in the capital, when the two had no clue about Qi Rui’s anorexia, Qi You had invited him here.

Only later Cao Mi untied Qi Rui’s knot, and Hu Shenyi didn’t help much, so he left again.

She was still wondering why Qi You was so badly injured and had to endure the pain of traveling and running back from Changling. If it is specifically to seek medical treatment, then everything makes sense.

“Is it… serious?” Cao Mi pursed his lips, “Do you have to wait for Divine Doctor Hu to come over before he can be cured?”

Qi You coughed while suppressing his voice, and said, “Well…not really.”

He looked at Cao Mi: “Changling is under martial law now, and it’s not a good place to rest. After I discussed it with Lei Li and the others, I decided to come back first.”

He said it lightly, but in fact, it was Lei Li who had persuaded him for a whole day before, and even let out the words that he would kneel to the foreign minister if he didn’t leave, so Qi You reluctantly gave in.

His injury was not serious at first, but it was too tossed later.

After leaving Jurong City, he took Qi Sangel and others to retreat all the way back to Changling. After arriving at Changling, Qi You didn’t have time to rest, but rushed to pay close attention to the movements of the Rong tribe after the eldest prince was assassinated.

In this way, a wound that no one cared about at first was dragged into a serious condition by himself.

The doctor in Changling could only barely suppress his injury, so Qi You went to find Doctor Hu, and after confirming that the Rong tribe would not attack the border directly in anger, he brought people back to the palace.

Cao Mi didn’t know what happened, so he could only nod his head when he heard the words.

Qi Rui thought more and asked, “Is the border in a hurry?

“Why did my father suffer such a serious injury as a coach?”

Qi You thought for a while, and told him about running to Jirong City to assassinate the eldest prince.

Before, he was worried about not wanting to scare the twins, but now that the two younger ones are gone, and the older son is obviously mature and stable, he no longer deliberately hides it.

But what he didn’t expect was that after hearing this, it was not the eldest son of his family who was not yet seven years old, but the princess who had become more and more powerful in recent years.

Cao Mi burst out and asked, “Do you want to prepare to recover the five cities outside the Great Wall?”

Qi You paused, then nodded lightly.

“Why are you in such a hurry?” Cao Mi frowned, “It’s been less than two years since we came to Liaozhou!”

Qi You couldn’t figure out why she looked like this, so he patted her on the shoulder soothingly, “It’s getting late.

“Starting preparations now, it will take at least three years before the five cities can be recaptured.”

Cao Mi opened his mouth, but couldn’t say a word.

The reason why she was surprised was not that she disagreed with Qi You’s decision, but that his current decision was much earlier than what she originally “expected”.

Why was Qi Rui the protagonist in the book that Cao Mi had read in his previous life?

Later, she thought about it herself, and felt that a big reason was that Qi Rui’s father, the King of Bei’an who was in front of him now, died a long time ago!

Cao Mi has been remembering this matter, but he didn’t say it, because there is still quite a long time before Qi You’s death.

In that book, although the role of the stepmother “Cao Mi” was not mentioned at all, there was a more detailed description of Qi You.

He would die when Qi Rui was thirteen years old while recovering the five northern cities.

Two years later, on Qi Rui’s fifteenth birthday, Qi San will inform the three children of the cause of Qi You’s death – Qi You will die, not only because of the Rong people, but also because of the handwriting of the imperial court.

The half-decayed imperial court did not care whether the five cities that had been lost for more than 50 years could come back, but they were afraid that the King of Bei’an, who was far away in Liaozhou, would take advantage of the war to directly expand and break away from the control of the imperial court.

So they secretly reached an agreement with a certain dignitary of the Rong clan to “send” Qi You out.

It is clearly written in the book that Qi You did not suspect that something was wrong with the imperial court until his death. He knew that the imperial court was unreliable, but he did not expect them to dare to collude with the Rong tribe to do such a thing.

And with this as a guide – fire – cable, the two brothers Qi Rui and Qi An, who are clearly a royal family, did not stand on the side of the royal family in the chaotic world that was divided by the heroes.

They fought against each other, and even turned against each other in the end, but from beginning to end, they were resolutely opposed to the forces of the imperial court, and they were the two most powerful “rebels”.

Cao Mi thought he had calculated the timing, and planned to find a way to prevent this from happening in a few years.

She can remind Qi You to be careful of the court, or persuade Qi You not to go into battle in person and go to fight outside the fortress.

But, according to what Qi You means now, he has already planned to start taking action.

In this way, Cao Mi was completely chaotic.
