I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1983 - 1985: Take Me to See Your Mother

The three princes saw you, hurriedly ran over, and saluted you: "Children greet the Imperial Father!"

"Greetings to the Emperor!" Wang Lang’s grandson also hastily bowed and saluted you.

You glanced at the three children and asked the eldest, Li Hao: "Hao’er, what are you doing? Bullying others with your power? Have you forgotten how I usually teach you?"

Your words were somewhat stern, and Li Xin hurriedly spoke: "Imperial Father, it wasn’t the Elder Brother’s fault, it was this person. He wanted to find Elder Sister Yuan Ji, but Elder Sister Yuan Ji went to see Gan Niang. Elder Brother told him to come later. He refused, and when Elder Brother said something to him, he started hitting Elder Brother. We couldn’t stand by, so we..."

"Couldn’t take him one-on-one, so you all ganged up on him?" You couldn’t help but laugh, somewhat relieved that your children could tell the truth.

"Yeah, this guy is strong, even Elder Brother wasn’t a match for him." Li Ning, who is also an honest child, immediately nodded in agreement.

However, it’s quite odd. Your children’s growth rate is noticeably faster than ordinary children. At the age when others are still babbling, your children are already running and even fighting with tears and a runny nose. Likely due to your genes, the three children’s development is much faster than average. Three-year-old Li Hao looks at least five or six years old. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

You looked at the boy squatting on the ground, holding his head, and found out that he was actually Li Tian.

"Li Tian, what do you need from Yuan Ji?" After being beaten for a while, besides his hair being a bit messy, Li Tian wasn’t hurt at all. Moreover, his eyes, like those of tiger and wolf, still showed an unyielding spirit.

Li Tian lowered his head and said nothing.

"Damn it, still playing stubborn with me at this point!" With that, you strode forward, lifted Li Tian, and angrily said, "I don’t have time to mess around with you. If you don’t speak, I’ll have you thrown out!"

"Imperial Father! Don’t hurt him. He’s just a bit stubborn, but he’s a good person." Li Hao quickly ran over at this point, clutching onto your pants.

"Yes, yes, Elder Brother is right."

Li Xin and Li Ning also chimed in, and you didn’t expect these kids to form such strong bonds.

"Is your mother’s illness worsening?" You stared wide-eyed at Li Tian.

Seeing Li Tian still silent, your tone became harsher: "If you don’t speak, by the time you find Yuan Ji, your mother might already be dead!"

Li Tian suddenly raised his head: "I... my mother... my mother spit blood and hasn’t woken up, I’m very scared..."

You sighed, shaking your head, lifted Li Tian, put him on the horse, and then climbed up, saying to Li Tian, "Take me to see your mother, quickly!"

Li Tian, worried about his mother, hurriedly showed you the way. You and Li Tian rode out of the Eastern Capital, entered a village outside the city, and came upon a rundown thatched cottage. There, an old lady in ragged clothes was anxiously pacing back and forth at the entrance.

Seeing Li Tian get off the horse, the old lady quickly approached: "Little Tian, where did you go? Your mother has been calling your name, go see her one last time!"

"Mother!" Upon hearing this, Li Tian rushed into the thatched cottage.

You frowned and intended to follow in. However, the old lady stopped you, pleading: "Please, sir, let them spend this last moment together as mother and son."

"Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, no one will die!"

With that, you quickly entered. Inside, although clean, it was very simple.

A bed, a small table, and a few baskets.

However, when you turned to look at the woman in bed, you felt as if struck by lightning, and immediately cried out: "Nan’er!"

This cry awakened the woman, who was already weak and in pain. As she realized who you were, she instinctively reached out her hands to you, a faint smile of relief appearing on her pale face: "Husband, is it you coming to take me?"

"Nan’er!" You hurriedly went forward and embraced Zou Nan lying on the bed, "Nan’er, I am alive!"

Though Zou Nan was delusional, she heard your words, and her eyes widened, staring at you intently. Zou Nan’s cold right hand gently touched your cheek, lightly stroking, her tears continuously overflowing from her eyes.

"Nan’er, hold on, without my order, you are not allowed to die!" Picking Zou Nan up, you rushed out of the thatched house and mounted your horse.

"Li Tian, get on!" You turned to see Li Tian standing blankly nearby and shouted vigorously.

Within an hour, the entire Imperial Palace was alerted, especially Empress Zhao Yu, who rushed out of the palace at the fastest pace, heading for the medical center.

In the most specialized ward of the medical center, Zhao Yu saw you, and also Zou Nan, whom she hadn’t seen in years.

"Master!" Zhao Yu knelt before Zou Nan’s bed, her eyes filled with tears. She tightly held Zou Nan’s cold hands, lamenting, "Why have you become like this?"

You gently patted Zhao Yu’s back, sighed, and said: "Nan’er fell ill due to an injury, and her condition has temporarily stabilized. I have already sent for Master from Japan; only he can cure her."

Zhao Yu, being so perceptive, caught the implication in your words. She also noticed a boy huddled in the corner, who, from her perspective, bore a six or seven-tenth resemblance to you!

Zhao Yu looked at your slightly evasive eyes, then at Zou Nan, who shut her eyes tightly, too afraid to speak. Suddenly, Zhao Yu chuckled softly, her laughter melodious and enchanting, as if resonating with the air. Zhao Yu slowly stood, then whispered a few words into Zou Nan’s ear. Zou Nan listened, her eyes finally opening, as she looked at Zhao Yu: "Yu’er, Master... Master..."

"Master, no longer, that title will be shelved. From now on, you are my sister." With that, Zhao Yu turned to you with a smile, asking, "What do you think, my good husband?"

"Uh... well, you sisters chat, you chat."

Embarrassed, you quickly stood up, grabbed Li Tian, who was in the corner, and said, "I’ll take Tian’er to meet his little brothers."

You knew that Zou Nan mostly suffered from heartbreak. She always believed you were dead, and she dared not face Zhao Yu, so she lived in the thatched house outside the city with Li Tian. Because she was injured and unwilling to seek medical help, added with too much longing, over time, her condition worsened. If it weren’t for Li Tian, Zou Nan might have already committed suicide to follow you.
