In the past years, Yi Han always felt a little displeased towards Censor Xiao.

The reason was that the man had been too harsh, even mean, towards Yun Xi in the past.

This caused Yi Han to always feel resentful and his words were often conflicting.

However, as time passed and his identity changed, he is now Yun Xi's husband, so naturally he has to show due respect to this former "enemy".

So, in Censor Xiao's room, Yi Han bowed respectfully and said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, I have offended you in the past. Please forgive me."

Seeing this, Censor Xiao smiled and waved his hand, motioning him to sit down.

He himself sat leisurely on one side of the Arhat bed.

Seeing this, Yi Han had no choice but to sit down on the other side, but he felt mixed emotions. He didn't know what Xiao Yushi would say to him.

"My father-in-law is indeed not so easy to like." Xiao Yushi suddenly spoke, breaking the silence, "But it is precisely because of your past dissatisfaction with me that I can see that you are sincere to Yun Xi." Yi Han nodded without denying it.

"I called you here today because I want to talk to you about Yunxi's future." Censor Xiao's tone became serious, "I can only say these words to you." Yi Han's heart tightened, he knew that the next words would be very important.

"I... I don't have much time left." Censor Xiao suddenly sighed and said a shocking news, "The doctor said that my heart and lungs are injured, and I'm afraid I won't last long." Yi Han was shocked. He didn't expect his father-in-law's condition to be so serious.

"Who hurt you?" Yi Han asked quickly.

"It's not that I was injured by anyone, it's that my body can't take it anymore." Censor Xiao shook his head, "The injuries I suffered in Lingnan were too severe, the injuries had penetrated deep into my bone marrow, and this injury has made things even worse for me." Yi Han's heart sank, he didn't expect his father-in-law's health to have reached this point.

"I see that you look fine, how could you be so seriously ill?" Yi Han couldn't help but ask.

"It's the Empress Dowager's Xuanyuan Pill that's supporting my body." Censor Xiao sighed, "Princess Anyang also asked the imperial physician to treat me, but they all said that it would be good if I could survive for half a year."

After hearing this, Yi Han couldn't help feeling sad.

He thought of Yun Xi and the future she would face, and his heart became even heavier.

"Yun Xi...she is destined to be extraordinary." Censor Xiao suddenly changed the subject, "Princess Anyang told me that the Empress Dowager admires her very much and intends to let her join the army."

Yi Han was stunned. He didn't expect Yun Xi to have such an opportunity.

"My daughter has had ambitions different from those of ordinary women since she was a child." Xiao Yushi continued, "I naturally hope that she can live a more comfortable life, but I also know that she has her own pursuits and ideals." Yi Han nodded. He understood what his father-in-law meant.

"I hope you can stop her from joining the army." Xiao Yushi suddenly said, "The battlefield is dangerous, I don't want her to take risks." Yi Han was silent for a while, then said: "I will try my best to persuade her, but I can't guarantee success."

"But you are her husband! How can you just watch her go to her death?" Censor Xiao said a little excitedly.

Yi Han looked at him and said seriously: "Father-in-law, I am naturally worried about Yun Xi's safety. But I also know that she is a person with her own ideas and pursuits. If she really wants to join the army, I believe she has the ability to protect herself."

"What are you thinking?" Xiao Yushi glared at him. "A girl in the boudoir should live under the love of her husband, and she doesn't need to fight on the battlefield!" Yi Han looked at him and said calmly, "Father-in-law, let me ask you a question. Why did you join the army in the first place?"

"Of course it is to defend the country and let the people live and work in peace and contentment!" Censor Xiao answered without hesitation.

Yi Han nodded.
