Anyway, Gu Wan is always busy, so Wan Ge doesn't bother to ask him what he's doing. As long as he's willing to do it, she'll let him be.

But Wan Ge never expected that Gu Wan, besides being busy with medicine, also spent a lot of time practicing martial arts.

When Wan Ge found him, the other person had multiple bruises and cuts from knives and swords.

…

One day, when Wan Ge was taking a bath, she had already gone to the bathing area, but suddenly remembered that she had forgotten something, so she turned back.

Then I saw a boy sitting in front of the mirror, applying medicine to himself. On the boy's fair skin, many scars were clearly visible.

Wan Ge was stunned, and her expression immediately turned sour. She just didn't understand why a scar from before wouldn't have taken so long to fade. So it must be a recent one?

Wan Ge's fingertips touched his wound. Gu Wan suddenly looked up at Wan Ge in front of him, but did not say anything.

Wan Ge picked up his medicine and gently applied it to him, but tears welled up in her eyes and fell.

Gu Wan panicked when she saw her crying: "Wange, don't cry, I'm not in pain."

"Why doesn't it hurt?" Where did these injuries come from? "Who bullied you?"

Right under his nose, someone dared to bully his people, and he hadn't even noticed!

Gu Wan answered her again: "It's normal to get injuries from martial arts training."

How can this be considered normal?! And what's more, "Why do you practice martial arts?"

Doesn't he want to be a doctor anymore? Why does he still want to learn martial arts?

"I will learn martial arts to protect Wan Ge." He didn't want to see her injured again; absolutely not.

So in addition to studying medicine, he also practiced martial arts, all so that he could protect her at any time.

At first, the prince hoped he would focus more on learning medicine. Learning martial arts was a good thing, but his most important task was to help his daughter and heal her. But then he thought... even though he had sent so many people to protect his daughter, she was still injured.

Furthermore, Gu Wan was exceptionally talented in both medicine and martial arts, and he was assured that even if she practiced martial arts, it wouldn't interfere with her medical studies. In the end, the prince tacitly approved of her obsessive martial arts training.

Wan Ge thought of her shoulder. Was that why the other person wanted to learn martial arts? "It's okay, Wan Wan will have someone to protect us. That time was just an accident."

And it was indeed because of my weakened body that my senses were much weaker, which is why I only discovered it so late; otherwise, both of them would have been fine.

Gu Wan lowered her head. There couldn't be any more accidents! One accident had already caused this much trouble.

Although he didn't speak, Wan Ge understood what he meant: he was unwilling to give up martial arts.

If he gives up, he might regret it for the rest of his life. But…

Wan Ge gently touched his wound with her fingertips, which were covered in medicinal powder: "It's not that I don't allow you to practice martial arts, but please don't get hurt, okay? It will break my heart."

Gu Wan nodded when she saw his reddened eyes, and said she would be more careful in the future.

After that incident, Wan Ge would occasionally check him for injuries. After she told him, he was indeed much better, and there were no wounds or anything like that on his body.

…

The emperor's sixteenth birthday is the time when the princes hand over the reins of power to him.

Early in the morning, the prince was in the palace, holding the tiger tally that held military power.

The prince showered all his affection on his daughter, but entrusted all the skills he had acquired and how to wield power to his nephew.

And the other party did not disappoint him; he was completely different from his father. Perhaps he truly will become an excellent monarch in the future.
