It has been fifteen years since Xue Mei returned to Chu State again.

The past fifteen years of life experiences can be said in one word?

She now has the Kingdom of Wei, and the other three countries also have her power extensions.

She was like a hand, controlling the whole world.

Every court, the royal family is more or less influenced by her, but some people don’t know it.

She also opened up the business roads between the Western Regions and Central China, and many caravans traveled from each other every year, making a huge difference in price.

This time I returned to Chu State because my eldest brother was seriously ill.

The eldest brother was not in good health, and he worked hard for the state affairs. Especially five years ago, when the Supreme Emperor passed away, he was rebelled by his tenth and twelfth brothers, the two princes. When he quelled the rebellion, he suffered an arrow and his physical condition became more and more and more.

When Xue Mei arrived in Chu State, the brothers Lu Shu and Lu Wen arrived early and had already diagnosed their elder brother's pulse.

“…You haven’t changed at all.”

Xue Mei sat in front of the elder brother's sickbed, and the two brothers and sisters were the elder brother relaxed and his voice was relaxed.

It's just that his half-gray hair makes him look a little old.

He is just over forty years old this year.

Xue Mei always felt that she was still in her prime at the age of 40, but her eldest brother was in poor mental state and had already shown the fatigue of a middle-aged man, which was a downhill attitude.

Xue Mei held his hand tightly.

His palms were cold.

"Do I have a worm?"

Xue Mei smiled and said, "Now when others see Anan, they think she is my sister; in a few years, others will think she is my sister, and I really want to become an old witch."

The eldest brother smiled: "Are you very proud?"

"Youth will last forever, and you will naturally be proud."

Xue Mei said, "You don't know how much other women envy me."

The eldest brother laughed.

He smiled too hard, and he couldn't breathe, and suddenly choked.

He took a long time to breathe: "Ten years ago, my father and the others went to visit the capital of Wei, but I didn't go.

When they came back, they were going crazy, and the Wei State should be shocked.

I really want to go and have a look.”

"You are sick because of overwork, decreased physical resistance, and severe anemia, which makes you feel so uncomfortable.

Nothing big is going on. I'll bring you medicine and arrange diet therapy for you. You can get out of bed in at most half a month."

Xue Meidao.

She knew that my elder brother felt bad now.

Being weak, sweaty, and sleeping hard will make him look like a person on the verge of death.

He also always wanted to ask Xue Mei what he was doing, but he didn't dare.

How could he say it out?

His eldest son is only eight years old this year. Once he falls, can the orphan and widowed mother support this country?

So, he asked tentatively.

Xue Mei's tone was understated.

When the elder brother heard this, he felt that it was not true: "Is that true?"

"Yes, it's just anemia."

Xue Mei smiled and said, "Look, have you scared yourself again?"

Lu Shu has good medical skills, he should tell you that it is a loss of both qi and blood."

My brother actually doesn't believe Lu Shu's words very much.

Lu Shu was able to diagnose, but he didn't have the right medicine, so he couldn't help his elder brother recover immediately, so he felt that he was comforting him.

Xue Mei is different.

After she said this, the eldest brother suddenly felt relieved, his fatigue faded a lot, revealing his relaxation.

"Mei'er."

He held Xue Mei's hand tightly, his inner emotions and words were difficult to express.

Xue Mei understands.

She lets the elder brother rest with peace of mind.

"I'll go see my sister-in-law and nephews."

Xue Mei stood up and said, "I'll send someone to deliver medicine to you later. Take medicine well. The weather will be warm in a few days. Let's go out for a walk in the countryside and fly kites."

Speaking of this, she turned her head slightly and smiled, "When you were in Liang Kingdom, you drew a kite for me with your own hands.

Now that you think about it, you had a crush on me at that time, but you still don’t admit it.”

Xue Chi: "..." More than ten years have passed, and my shameless temper has not changed.

Xue Mei completely amused her elder brother, and then turned around to the inner court to visit the queen and the children.

The eldest brother's inner court was very simple. He had no other concubines except the queen; he had two sons, both of whom were born by the queen.

The court officials often make suggestions, and the elder brother can pretend to be deaf and dumb.

His character is quite stubborn and no one can tell him.

The empress was born into the Pei family, and she was not a soft-hearted person and could be bullied by the ministers; the Pei family naturally hoped that the entire inner court would be the leader, and that the happiness of her daughter was more important than anything else.

Because the Empress and the Pei family were both on the side of the emperor, and everyone was carrying the storm together, the two princes were healthy and lively. The prince was already quite good at studying at a young age, so the court officials stopped and finally stopped nagging these years.

When Xue Mei saw Pei Wanzhao, Pei Wanzhao specially changed her homely clothes and waited for her in the hall.

When she saw Xue Mei, she was also surprised.

“…I was thinking before, if I saw you, if I called you sister, would I feel wronged?

Now it seems that you have to call your sister-in-law.”

Pei Wanzhao said with a smile.

Xue Mei looks much younger than her.

"nature.

My sister pays me a blessing to my sister-in-law.”

Xue Mei smiled.

Pei Wanzhao smiled.

The inner palace was laughing and cheering, and Pei Wanzhao held Xue Mei's hand and had endless things to say.

As he was talking, Pei Wanzhao called Xue Mei "Sister Bai" and asked her about her experiences in the Western Regions over the years.

"You went to the Western Regions to dig yellow sand. Have you seen the dungeon?"

Pei Wanzhao asked her.

"No."

When it comes to this, Xue Mei has a lot of jokes to vomit and sighed at Pei Wanzhao.

After talking about the gossip, Pei Wanzhao asked about the emperor's illness.

She didn't dare to ask, because she was afraid that she would be sad, so she kept it until the end.

Xue Mei told her truthfully.

Pei Wanzhao was able to control her emotions at first, but later she couldn't help but cry with joy.

"Sister Bai, if you don't come back to take this trip, your Majesty and I won't feel at ease."

Pei Wanzhao swallowed even more, "I'm so scared that I have no way out."

Xue Mei held her shoulder and asked her to cry against herself.

My eldest brother is sick, and Pei Wanzhao has helped to deal with the affairs of the court these days.

If the eldest brother really dies, Pei Wanzhao will have to rule the country from behind, so she must learn.

Pei Wanzhao was always tense and did not dare to reveal his emotions to anyone, for fear that people would become more unstable.

Only in front of Xue Mei, she could cry wildly and pour out her fear.

Xue Mei knew her, so she didn't persuade her, just let her lean on her and cry for a while.

Pei Wanzhao finished crying, and after cleaning her mood, the palace maid brought her hot water to clean her face and wash her hands.
