Yang Ruxin gave Gu Qingheng a blank look: "Youâve become bad."
Actually, Gu Qingheng had noticed ever since he woke up and saw his little wife that after a few months of absence, as the girl kept growing, her features had blossomed. Her facial features, already delicate and beautiful, typically expressed a carefree temperament. However, what now could not be ignored was that the charm in her brow and eyes could no longer be concealed.
He was her husband, yet just that glance made him feel a tightness in his heart.
Suddenly he felt a sense of relief, grateful that he had met her before everyone else and kept her by his side, grateful for Guan Qingshuâs blindness.
"Sister Ruxin." Caoya had already run over, looking up at Yang Ruxin with a face full of admiration.
Yang Ruxin smiled and reached out to touch her head: "Where is your sister?"
"Sister is helping to simmer porridge." Caoya smiled, "I can help too."
"Thatâs great." Yang Ruxin nodded and then took out a handful of sugar to give her, "A reward for being so capable, go share it with your sister."
"Thank you, Sister Ruxin." Caoya hugged the sugar and ran off in the distance.
Gu Qingheng, seeing that the worry had lifted from Yang Ruxinâs brows, knew that she had truly understood and felt at ease. He didnât like to see her angry or frowning; her smile was infectious, brightening the mood of anyone who saw it.
"What is the Crown Prince planning to do next?" Yang Ruxin turned to look at Gu Qingheng. The news from Jin City said that the military doctor named Bao Ketu was indeed very dedicated, and the poisonous insects in those peopleâs bodies had basically been cleared out. However, after so many days of depletion, many people were very weak, and he had prescribed tonic medicines. They even sent someone to show her the prescription, and frankly, she wasnât really good at prescribing medicine. However, she was familiar with the effects and nature of the various medications, as well as their compatibility and incompatibility, so she knew that the prescription was warming and tonic, which was the right treatment.
Now that Jin City and Governorâs Office City were getting back on track, the big army wouldnât stay stationed here indefinitely.
"Before taking down Governorâs Office City, the Crown Prince had written a memorial to return to the capital," Gu Qinghengâs brows furrowed slightly, "Itâs just that..."
"Is there trouble?"
"The Emperor was very pleased, but, he did not order the Crown Prince to return to the capital. Instead, he sent an Envoy over, claiming it was to discuss merits and rewards, and also brought supplies and provisions..."
"Does the Emperor mean to continue fighting?" Yang Ruxin frowned. Outside lay a vast desert, and they had to cross it to reach the grasslands. It would be very risky for the Daxuan troops to go there.
Gu Qingheng nodded: "Iâm afraid that might be the case."
"But our troops might not be suited for desert warfare."
Gu Qingheng nodded again: "Donât worry. Daxuan has fought with Yuan Country before and we have guides that are familiar with the desert..." As he spoke, he touched Yang Ruxinâs face, "Things are almost settled here, you should go back."
Yang Ruxin nodded. She was not part of the Imperial Court or the military, so naturally, she didnât have to follow the war. She raised her hand to grasp Gu Qinghengâs: "Regardless, you must take care of yourself. You must carry the medicine pills and powders I gave you at all times, and also the ginseng. Chew on it when thereâs nothing else, it can save your life."
"I know." The corner of Gu Qinghengâs mouth twitched, amused that his wife was capable and confident enough to prepare a Hundred-year Ginseng for each person.
