Chapter sixteen 

Ying Yong slowly opens her eyes to a familiar environment and that is her room. But Ying Yong never expected what will happen next. Ying Yong found herself enclosed tightly in Ying Shimin's embrace until she could hardly breathe.

"Ying Shimin, I highly suspect you wanted to complete what the killers did not do so" Ying Yong said weakly.

Ying Yong being a smart girl in many areas was quite retarded in some areas. So, Ying Yong did not notice the looks in Ying Shimin eyes and the way she was carefully laid back to her bed. It was then Ying Yong saw her father and Ying Zhen sitting beside her bed.

"God uncle, I apologise for not getting up to greet you."

Ying Zhen stood up and flick a finger on Ying Yong forehead to her protest that she will get stupid if her head was hit more.

Ying Zhen sat down and sigh while saying "Ying Yong, you are just a seven-year-old kid, and you should not burden yourself with so many issues. God uncle rather that you are a stupid kid then being so smart. Didn't you see how the three of us are thin from worrying about you. It took the whole of the royal doctors in the palace to pull you back from hades hands. Even the empress dowager had sent her personal royal doctor to take care of you. Despite that you are still in a coma for two weeks. You did well for the prime minister, the leaders of the salt and rice association but god uncle never expected you to sacrifice your health for it. both I and your father understand your actions, but our most important concern is your health. Just to ensure that you could not get up to any shenanigans, God uncle will let you rest for these two weeks, and you need to entertain the foreign envoys with the crown prince once they arrived. Also, God uncle do not want you to be so stress so I will not issue you any official positions. And you are Pearl Jun Zhu already, there is no higher rank you could get. So, god uncle will reward you with the wealth, lands of the prime minister, the leaders of the salt and rice association. God uncle trust you will deal with all this in a way that will benefit the empire. God uncle also agree to your proposal to the replacement that will take over the positions of the prime minister, the leaders of the salt and rice association. They are good choices."

Ying Yong had built a hospital in the system space in the last world that she went to for doing a mission. So, if needed Ying Yong could physically bring the hospital out or bring any person into her system space. Ying Yong never see the grateful look that Ying Shimin send his father, but she just weakly replied to Ying Zhen "god uncle, two weeks later, I will be fully recovered so I can do the task that you issued to me. I will also take the chance to visit the empress dowager. I got some medical skills so I can take the chance to look at the legs of the empress dowager when I am there."

Ying Zhen only said good while he pulled Ying Shimin out of the room while mumbling to him. Ying Yong has superb hearing like Ying Xiong since both of them practice martial arts and zhen qi but she was too weak to hear anything currently. But Ying Xiong did hear what Ying Zhen is saying and he sigh. Ying Zhen was saying to Ying Shimin that your wife will not run away, you need to go back to the palace and deal with the issues that will come with the envoys arrival so that your wife will not be so tired two weeks later.

Ying Xiong really wanted to hit his head as Ying Zhen upon the few times he came to his residence to visit Ying Yong reminded him that there was a betrothal promise between both of them for their children. And Ying Xiong could simply see the feelings that Ying Shimin have for Ying Yong from the fact that he moved into the general residence for the two weeks Ying Yong is in a coma.

Ying Xiong really wanted to hit his head once again as he really regrets the promise of betrothal he makes. The betrothal promises were made when the empress and his wife were pregnant at the same time with only a few months difference. And Ying Xiong had totally forgotten when he went to war immediately after his wife give birth to Ying Yong and had passed away.

Especially now that Ying Zhen had reminded him, he knew that he could not reject the betrothal promise anymore. Ying Zhen had even hint that he will leave an edict to Ying Shimin to state that in his whole life he will have no wife expect for Ying Yong just to reassure Ying Yong. Ying Zhen had not escape him and had light make the report of Ying Ying movements in front of him.

Ying Xiong thus knows that there is no chance of Ying Yong escaping from this betrothal when he saw the glim of amazement in his god brother eyes when he hears the report. Ying Xiong himself were also amazed when he hears the report. Ying Xiong never expected his daughter to be such a genius. Ying Yong dark guards beside being responsible to Yiong Yong will make regular reports to Ying Zhen and Ying Xiong. Ying Xiong knew that his daughter knew, it is just that she did not mentioned it.
