Chapter 248 Fei Yanggu's Death
Fei Yanggu's lips trembled twice, but he finally shook his head and said, "It's getting late, let her get some sleep. She works hard on weekdays, and it's rare for her to go home and get a good sleep."
Xing Chan lowered his head and said nothing, although he really wanted to tell his father in front of him that sister Yixiu had returned to her mother's family, and was probably even busier than when she was in the Fourth Prince's mansion.
As for the so-called good sleep, in today's Ulanala Mansion, I'm afraid it is a luxury for everyone.
He saw with his own eyes that on the day Sister Yixiu returned home, she ordered people to call a group of guards from the Fourth Prince's residence.
Now, just like the stone lions at the door, she is firmly rooted in her own yard.
But after looking at Ama's chapped lips and obviously pale face, he didn't say it after all.
"Xingchan, help me up." Fei Yanggu stretched out an arm and helped Xingchan sit down at the desk.
Fei Yanggu asked: "Xingchan, how old are you now?"
"My son is eighteen this year." Xing Chan didn't know why Fei Yanggu asked this.
"Eighteen, eighteen is good! Cough cough..." There was another cough, Fei Yanggu said: "When I was eighteen, I was already a deputy general in the army, cough cough cough..."
Xingchan blushed and said ashamedly: "My son is incompetent and cannot compare to my father and... and brother Xinghui. Brother Xinghui is only a few years older than my son, but he can already lead troops into battle on his own."
"Son... I am truly ashamed."
"It's not that you are incompetent." Fei Yanggu waved his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then put his hand on Xingchan's shoulder and said, "God will give great responsibilities to this person, Xingchan, I'm afraid there will be many important things for you to do in the future."
Xing Chan pursed his lips and said nothing. It’s not that he doesn’t have ambitions, he just doesn’t have the opportunity.
After all, his birth as a legitimate and illegitimate child was like an extremely sharp knife, which completely split the fate of him and Xinghui early on.
Fei Yanggu stopped talking.
He picked up the paper and pen, but kept his hands in the air. He didn't know if he had made this decision too hastily.

When Fei Yanggu woke up again, it was already noon again.
At this time, it was the last noon of the 43rd year of Kangxi's reign, and the evening was New Year's Eve.
Fei Yanggu turned his head and saw servants outside the yard pasting bright red window paper-cuts.
The person in the room has changed from Xingchan to Xinghui.
Noticing Fei Yanggu's gaze, Xinghui turned his head and said with a half-smile on his face: "Father is awake."
"Where's Xingchan?"
Without accepting the tea handed over by Xinghui, Fei Yanggu asked, "Where is Xingchan?"
Xinghui stretched out his foot, hooked the stool next to the bed, sat down on Fei Yanggu's bed, blew the tea in the cup, drank two sips, and then said:
"At the court today, the Ministry of War mentioned that the border is still short of low-ranking soldiers. My son has recommended brother Xingchan."
"you......"
Fei Yanggu opened his eyes wide and stared at Xinghui, holding his breath and his face turned red from holding it in.
Xinghui continued, "When the Emperor heard about this, he was grateful to our Ulanara family for being devoted to the country and not caring about the level of official positions, so he specially gave two pearls to my son, and my son has accepted them."
"You... you have such a cruel heart!" Fei Yanggu clutched the sheet under him, but he clearly felt that his hands, which had been able to bend the bow and shoot arrows not long ago, had become powerless:
"He is your brother!"
"Brother?" Xinghui smiled: "Father, in my son's heart, I only have a sister named Rouze."
After saying that, he turned around, opened the door and left.
