After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Of all the renowned doctors and physicians in the world, Hua Yue trusts Bai Yuchen, the Lord of Baishui City, the one she trusts most.

The young master's illness cannot be delayed, so Huayue wants to take him to the capital for medical treatment.

On the way back to Yanru, after her father fell asleep, Huayue told Kong Sangqi about her thoughts.

After hearing this, Kong Sangqi felt utterly disheartened and extremely distressed.

How can I put it? His husband and children have both run away. What use is it for him to guard this vast land all by himself?

He was no longer the ambitious Emperor Yanru who wanted to conquer the world when he was in his twenties.

That's how people are; the more they get something, the less they cherish it, and instead they start to crave what they don't have.

Kong Sangqi feigned seriousness and said, "How can the throne be changed so easily? This is no child's play!"

Hua Yue snorted coldly, "You've seen your father's condition; don't you want him to get better?"

Kong Sangqi said, "Then we in Yanru also have a divine physician, why must we go to Da Yin to seek medical treatment?"

"If Yanru's doctor can cure him, that would be wonderful," Huayue said. "If Yanru's doctor can't cure my little father, I will definitely take him to the capital."

Kong Sangqi said, "Then I want to go too."

"You can't leave," Hua Yue said seriously. "If you leave, what will happen to Yan Ru? Those distant, unrelated branches of the family are eager to snatch the throne from us."

Kong Sangqi paused, realizing that what A Yue had just said was "us".

He was certain in his heart that his son had already accepted him!

The son is back, so how far away can the husband be!

Kong Sangqi said, "I've been emperor for so many years, I'm tired of it. If they want it, give it to them. A-Yue, I don't need anything, I just want to be reunited with you and your son."

He thought to himself, "My son will definitely look at me with new respect after hearing this!"

He's proving through his actions that his husband and son are more important than anything else right now!

However, the joyful look he had imagined for Huayue did not appear.

Hua Yue, however, seemed to be seeing him for the first time, her eyes filled with disbelief and...disappointment.

"You abandoned me and my father for the throne," Hua Yue said. "Now you say you're giving up the power you worked so hard for for us."

"Kong Sangqi, what are you doing?"

"Are you trying to prove to me that all your efforts in the first half of your life were a joke, and that my relationship with my stepfather was also a joke?"

As she spoke, Huayue's eyes reddened.

He didn't want to continue talking, so he went to hug his little daddy and go to sleep.

The desert wind was strong and cold at night.

Hua Yue snuggled into her father's arms, leaving only a raised dark shadow in Kong Sangqi's sight.

Kong Sangqi was somewhat confused as to why his son was angry. He was willing to give up all his rights and status, so why wasn't that enough?

Chi Xu chuckled.

Kong Sangqi's eyes instantly turned cold. "What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing at you is a joke," Chi Xu said bluntly.

Kong Sangqi: "..."

Chi Xu clicked his tongue, thinking that this person was, after all, his father-in-law, so he kindly reminded him, "You know what? Back when Xiaoyue and I lived in Caixia City, we often went out to eat, drink, and have fun together."

Kong Sangqi snorted coldly. Although his expression was disdainful, his ears had already quietly perked up.

Chi Xu wasn't annoyed and continued, "Before we go out each time, I always ask him for his opinion first. Does he want something sweet or spicy? Does he want to go to the east or west of the city?"

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Kong Sangqi asked. "Are you showing off that I don't understand A-Yue as well as you do?"

Chi Xu sighed, "With a brain like yours, how did you even manage to seize the throne?"

"You!" Kong Sangqi took a deep breath, telling himself not to be angry, "...According to the customs of Yan Ru's marriage, you have to kowtow to me and Chen Sha."

Chi Xu said, "Don't worry, if that day ever comes, I will definitely kowtow to you."

Kong Sangqi felt that this kid was simply his nemesis! If it weren't for his unwavering loyalty to A Yue, he would have killed him a hundred times over!

Chi Xu said, "Next time, ask Xiao Yue'er for her opinion before making a decision. In her words, you're morally blackmailing her."

"..." If I said I didn't understand, this kid would definitely laugh at me!

Kong Sangqi's face was tense. "Then what do you think I should do?"

Chi Xu said, "Don't ask me, I wasn't the one who abandoned my husband and child back then."

Kong Sangqi's lips twitched. Maybe we should just find some experts from the Imperial Guard to take care of this kid!

Chi Xu closed his eyes, and his voice suddenly became very low, as if it wanted to be hidden in the wind.

"Why do you think that just because you give up the throne and choose them again, they will forget the hurt they caused and happily reconcile with you?"

Kong Sangqi fell silent for a long time before finally saying, "But I really don't know what to do..."

"Are you stupid?" Chi Xu simply couldn't understand how there could be such a fool in the world. "The most important thing right now is to cure your husband's strange illness. Can't you think of anything else?"

The emperor is not meant to learn any imperial arts or the art of balancing power.

How come Xiaoyue'er's biological father can't distinguish between what's important and what's urgent?

Chi Xu was speechless. "Xiao Yue'er isn't taking you with her. First, Yan Ru can't be without someone in charge. Second, you've seen for yourself how much Chen Sha hates you now. If you're by his side, it will only hinder his recovery of his memories."

Kong Sangqi calmed down and realized that what the brat said did make some sense.

Judging from Chensha's hands and voice... it's obvious that he's contracted some strange disease, and if it's not treated in time, it might even affect his lifespan.

Kong Sangqi took a deep breath and gently walked to where the father and son were sleeping.

He squatted down in front of Huayue. "Ayue, if Yanru's doctor can't cure Chensha, then take him to the capital. No matter the cost, you must cure your little father, okay?"

Hua Yue snorted coldly.

Kong Sangqi patted his head. "It's my fault for not doing a good enough job. I'll definitely discuss things with you before I do anything in the future. Don't be angry with me anymore, okay?"

Hua Yue hummed again, but this time it was much gentler than before.

Although he had already forgiven his father in his heart, he would still stand firmly on his father's side.

If even after Little Uncle's illness is cured, he still doesn't want to talk to Kong Sangqi, then he will definitely respect Little Uncle's wishes!

After returning to Yanru, Huayue issued an imperial edict, inviting all renowned physicians from across the country to the palace.

No one had ever seen this strange disease before, and the doctors all shook their heads.

Kong Sangqi also took the opportunity to take Huayue to the palace to see Chensha's portrait.

Hua Yue was absolutely certain at first glance that the handsome eyes belonged to his little father, Chen Sha.

For some reason, Chensha has always been unwilling to unveil her identity.

Hua Yue could actually guess the reason, but he dared not verify it, fearing that everything was as he guessed.

He was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself and would burst into tears.
