Episode 17: Xiao Huayong rescues Shen Yueshan in danger

The reports from the side were as urgent as sparks. On the day Shen Yueshan left the capital, the wind outside the city gate was soaked with frost.Shen Xihe personally handed over the cotton-padded coat that took three days and nights to sew. The stitches were densely packed with the warmest white cashmere, and even the neck protector was embroidered with tiny peace patterns.When Shen Yueshan led his troops to Luoxia Valley, thick fog suddenly billowed out from the mountains. The enemy's ambush had long been hidden deep in the fog. Cold arrows tempered with poison fell like a shower, killing dozens of soldiers in just a moment.Shen Yueshan remained calm in the face of danger, and was about to rush forward with his gun in hand, when the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind - Xiao Huayong came through the fog with his elite bodyguards, and rushed in front of him to block the deadly hidden arrows for Shen Yueshan. Finally, he shot a backhand arrow through the enemy leader's throat, and the arrow cluster was nailed to the rock, causing the gravel to rustle down.

It was the night when the candlelight in the army tent was flickering, and Xiao Huayong confessed to his confidants that at this age, no one had ever made him worry about sleeping or eating well. He did not believe in destiny and only took every step, which always warmed Shen Xihe's heart.When the news came back to the capital, Shen Xihe was tracing ice flowers on the window. When he heard this, his fingertips paused, and a faint smile spread on his lips - Xiao Huayong was the only person in the world who dared to steal the limelight in front of thousands of troops.On the day of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the palace was filled with glazed lanterns that were dazzling with gold. All the princes were showing off their bows at the banquet. Only Xiao Huayong's arrow hit the sweet-scented osmanthus cloud cake on the top of the table. He put the cake into his mouth with a smile, and fell straight in front of the table the next second.

After diagnosing his pulse, the imperial doctor discovered that the herbs added to the snacks, which most people would eat to calm the mind, were the triggers for old illnesses. He half-leaned on the couch and begged the emperor for a reward. He named Shen tide and entered the palace to take care of him, and legitimately kept him by his side.
