Chapter 1313: Side Story: The Mighty Great Qi (3)
Qi Haoran was afraid that Qi Xiuyuan would go back on his word, so he did not make this news public after leaving the room. Instead, he secretly looked for Zijin and Ah Ling to discuss it. "Let’s not tell Little Treasure and the rest about this first. We’ll talk about it when Big Brother is certain of that decision."
Fan Zijin looked at him speechlessly and said, "You should strike while the iron is hot to prevent him from going back on his word. Why are you doing the opposite?"
Qi Haoran stared at him in silence.
One was his big brother, and the other was his nephew. Of course, he had to stand on his big brother’s side when considering the issue.
Mu Yangling coughed lightly and said, "Let’s listen to Big Brother."
Qi Haoran immediately turned to glare at her. "You’re the one who started this."
Mu Yangling glared back at him without any fear. "I did that for Big Brother’s sake, right? Other than being a general, he’s been an Emperor all his life. For the sake of Great Qi, he’s ruined his health. A person can’t just work non-stop in his life. Even you know to retire and travel the world. Can’t you let him take a break?"
Mu Yangling said, "How many years has it been since Big Brother joined the army at the age of 14?"
Considering Qi Xiuyuan had worked for such a long time, it was inevitable that he would be tired. Mu Yangling didn’t believe that there was anyone in this world who could work continuously without feeling exhaustion. After all, even machines had to stop and be oiled.
Moreover, despite Qi Xiuyuan’s lackluster health, he had to wake up extremely early every day to attend the court meeting. Other than reviewing the memorials, he would discuss state affairs with the ministers every day. At most, he would take a walk in the imperial garden and go to the temporary imperial residence to avoid the summer heat for two months.
