Chapter 273 Finally Meet

The sunny palace was filled with the warmth of spring everywhere, except for one place - the cold palace.

Qingzhu and a few others were guarding outside the door, looking around cautiously. Because they were in the cold palace, there were not many people on the road.

When several eunuchs and palace maids saw Qingzhu and the others, they lowered their heads and walked quickly.

Inside the cold palace, there is an even more depressing atmosphere.

After Concubine Hui said so much, she looked at her son who had been silent all the time, and finally put forward a condition that Shangguan Nanfeng could not refuse.

"My son, if you become the emperor, you can control Su Yue as you wish."

After Concubine Hui finished speaking, she stopped trying to persuade him. She was naturally well aware of her son's obsession with Su Yue.

"Mother, I will listen to you!" Shangguan Nanfeng gritted his teeth and agreed after hearing the last sentence.

If I become the emperor and the most noble man in Dongyou, what reason would Su Yue have to reject me?

Even if he refuses, so what? He will be the emperor by then!

Li Yan, who was standing next to him, saw Shangguan Nanfeng like this and concealed the hatred he felt towards Su Yue in his heart.

With her means, even if Su Yue really married Shangguan Nanfeng, what would it matter? She had a way to trample Su Yue under her feet. She, Li Yan, wanted to be the first concubine queen in Dongyou.

"Second Prince, you should not stay in the cold palace for long." Thinking of this, Li Yan looked up at the sky and reminded in a low voice.

Concubine Hui looked at Li Yan, who had been listening to their conversation for a long time and looked calm, and she knew that Li Yan was also a courageous man.

"Li Yan, since you are the concubine of the Second Prince, I want to remind you that your life is tied to the Second Prince, and he respects you."

Concubine Hui looked at Li Yan and reminded her.

"Li Yan will listen to your teachings carefully!" Li Yan met Concubine Hui's eyes, lowered his head and saluted.

"Well, go back and get ready." Seeing Li Yan like this, Concubine Hui nodded slightly, and then signaled them to leave.

"Oh no, there's a fire!" Just as Shangguan Nanfeng stepped out of the cold palace, he heard a sharp shout.

Shangguan Nanfeng looked in the direction of the sound and saw thick smoke coming out of a house not far away. Many eunuchs hurriedly ran past them, carrying wooden barrels in their hands.

"Okay, let's go." Shangguan Nanfeng retracted his gaze. A fire in the imperial palace was not a very rare thing, so he naturally didn't care much about it.

In addition, many people had already gone to put out the fire, so he took Li Yan directly out of the palace.

Tonight is his big event!

At the border, Shangguan Nanxing finally arrived here with food.

"Your Majesty the Third Prince, you have personally escorted the food and must have been exhausted along the way." In Marshal Zhou's tent, Shangguan Nanxing sat at the top with a cup of warm tea in his hand.

"It's not hard to escort the food. I think the soldiers here are the ones who are having a hard time." Shangguan Nanxing didn't even drink the tea. He stood up and looked at the soldiers walking back and forth at the door of the tent.

"Why don't I see General Yang and General Gu?" Shangguan Nanxing mentioned the two generals unintentionally. This casual remark sounded like ordinary concern.

"The granary was burned because General Yang failed to take good care of it, and the enemy took advantage of it. I order General Yang to think about it."

Marshal Zhou lowered his head and answered seriously.

"What about General Gu?" Shangguan Nanxing asked following Marshal Zhou's words, suppressing his urgent desire to know.

Yue'er has been away for such a long time, I don't know if she has come here. She said before that if she cured General Gu, she would send a message to me, but I haven't received it yet, and I don't know what happened to Yue'er.

The more I thought about it, the more nervous I became, but on the surface I still appeared to be calm.

What Shangguan Nanxing didn't know was that Su Yue did write a letter, but he happened to be bringing food to the border, so he missed it.

"Your Highness, General Gu was injured and is now in a coma." Marshal Zhou told the truth when he realized he could no longer hide it.

"What? Why don't you report such a big thing to the court?" Shangguan Nanxing pretended to be surprised, with displeasure in his tone.

"Third Prince, the doctor said that General Gu's injury is not too serious. In addition, the emperor is not in good health, so in order not to worry the emperor, I dared to suppress the matter."

When Marshal Zhou heard Shangguan Nanxing's rebuke, he hurriedly prepared to kneel down, but he started to explain.

"It's my fault that I didn't think so much. Thank you for considering my father." Shangguan Nanxing saw Marshal Zhou preparing to kneel, so he quickly stepped forward and grabbed him.

"It's good that the Third Prince understands." Marshal Zhou also stood up, his tone filled with comfort of being understood.

"Since General Gu was injured for our Dongyou, it would be unreasonable for a prince not to go and take a look. Please trouble Marshal Zhou to lead the way."

After Shangguan Nanxing finished speaking, he walked straight towards the door.

"Well...please follow me." Marshal Zhou originally wanted to refuse, but Shangguan Nanxing's words did make sense. Thinking that General Gu had been unconscious, it would not hurt to go and take a look, so he quickly passed Shangguan Nanxing and led the way.

"Then I'll trouble you again, Marshal Zhou." Shangguan Nanxing smiled lightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes. Looking at Marshal Zhou's back, his eyes were full of calculation.

"This is General Gu's tent." Marshal Zhou walked to a slightly smaller tent and said at the door.

Su Yue and Gu Qingzhi inside heard the marshal's voice. Gu Qingzhi immediately lay down on the bed, covered himself with a small quilt and closed his eyes.

Su Yue simply moved a stool and sat next to Gu Qingzhi.

"Third Prince, it may take some time for General Gu to wake up."

Marshal Zhou said another word, and Gu Qingzhi opened his eyes in shock. After looking at Su Yue, they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Then Su Yue shook her head at Gu Qingzhi, signaling him to continue pretending to faint.

"Yian, how is General Gu now?" At this time, Marshal Zhou brought Shangguan Nanxing into the tent and asked loudly into the tent.

"To reply to the Marshal, General Gu is still in a coma." Su Yue responded loudly.

Shangguan Nanxing was delighted when he heard the familiar voice. A huge joy hit his heart and his cold face almost couldn't hold back.

His Yue'er was indeed here.

I finally felt relieved.

"Third Prince, this is Su Yian. General Gu was injured because of Dongyou, so I specially assigned a doctor to serve General Gu."

Marshal Zhou brought Shangguan Nanxing to Su Yue and introduced them softly, his tone full of satisfaction with Su Yue.

During this period, he was very satisfied with what Su Yian had done. He did not expect to meet such a young and sensible doctor at the border.

"Su Yian pays his respects to the Third Prince." Su Yue naturally saw Shangguan Nanxing next to Marshal Zhou at a glance. She was also excited, but was trying hard to suppress her emotions.

"Well, well done." Shangguan Nanxing's tone was very light, but only they knew what kind of emotions were hidden in these three words.

Then Shangguan Nanxing walked around Su Yue and went to Gu Qingzhi, looking at Gu Qingzhi lying on the bed without saying a word.

"Third Prince, General Gu has already checked and the food to welcome you is almost ready. How about..."

Marshal Zhou saw Shangguan Nanxing frowning and not saying anything, and hurriedly tried to send him away.

"Marshal Zhou, I have something to ask this young doctor alone. Please step aside for now." Shangguan Nanxing did not respond to Marshal Zhou's words, but gave the order directly.

Marshal Zhou was stunned, turned his head to look at Su Yue, and saw that Su Yue kept his head down, then he looked at the third prince.

"Marshal Zhou, please step aside." Shangguan Nanxing said again coldly, and Marshal Zhou came back to his senses.

"Okay, okay. Since the Third Prince is worried and wants to ask in private, that's fine." Marshal Zhou laughed and took a few steps back.

Just as he walked to Su Yue's side, he coughed twice. Su Yue looked up and saw Marshal Zhou's warning eyes.

Then, Marshal Zhou turned around and left.
