Gu Yuzhi was excited just thinking about taking a boat to the island at night.

Just as he was happily thinking about which boat to take, Judge Qin suddenly said, "Your Highness, perhaps you shouldn't go on tonight's operation."

Gu Yuzhi turned around abruptly to look at Judge Qin, his face full of disbelief, and said angrily, "Why can't I go? My injuries are all minor, I can go back to the battlefield!"

He glared angrily at Judge Qin, showing no sign of backing down.

Gu Yuzhi raised his chin, with an expression that said, "Even if you threaten me with bitter medicine, I will never compromise."

The court physician Qin shook his head helplessly: "Your Highness, your right arm was just dislocated. It takes a hundred days to recover from a bone injury. If you don't rest properly during this period, it's easy for it to dislocate again. At that time, Your Highness's arm will not just be a matter of repositioning."

Gu Yuzhi pouted and didn't say anything, but her big eyes stared at Judge Qin without blinking.

Judge Qin continued, "By then, His Highness's arm will need to be immobilized with a wooden board. Not only will it be inconvenient for him in daily life, but His Highness will also have to wait another hundred days before he can exert any force."

"With Mr. Huo and Commander Zhu handling things on the island, Your Highness needn't worry too much. But if Your Highness is injured again, we'll have to wait another hundred days... (Regarding the situation in the northern desert...)"

Gu Yuzhi secretly calculated that one hundred days plus another hundred days would make two hundred days, which is more than half a year!

In addition, his arm would have to be padded with a wooden board. Wouldn't he be unable to do anything when the Northern Di invaded?

Upon thinking of this, Gu Yuzhi shook his head violently.

No, no, this absolutely cannot be done!

He frowned and thought for a moment, then felt that something seemed off, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

He could only reluctantly say, "Then, forget it. I won't go tonight. But I'll wait at the manor. Once the situation at Houhu is stable, remember to send someone back to tell me as soon as possible."

Knowing Gu Yuzhi's true thoughts, Shu Xiaohan and Wen Xiuzhu whispered to each other, "Was that what Judge Qin meant just now?"

It's true that it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, but for the young prince, that hundred-day period has only just begun since his dislocated shoulder was dislocated.

Even if the young prince is unlucky tonight and dislocates his shoulder again, wouldn't it still be one hundred days starting from today?

How did the young prince arrive at the conclusion of two hundred days?

However, for Gu Yuzhi's safety, no one spoke up to warn him.

Qi Shizi readily agreed to Gu Yuzhi's small request, glanced at Xie Changshi, and hurried off to get to work.

When Imperial Physician Qin went out to prepare the medicine, Chief Secretary Xie said softly, "Your Highness, the situation on Houhu Island is unclear. Imperial Physician Qin is not allowing Your Highness to go to the island, firstly because Your Highness has dislocated your arm, and secondly because he is worried about Your Highness's safety."

Seeing Qin Yuanpan's earnest expression, Gu Yuzhi couldn't help but frown: "Chief Secretary Xie, do you think I'm such an unreasonable person?"

He knew, of course, that Judge Qin was worried about his health, and he also understood that Chief Secretary Xie and Judge Qin would never really put him in danger.

The two battles he fought in the northern desert were enough to make him famous in the army. Naturally, he wouldn't be sent to the truly dangerous battles.

He was a prince, and no matter how unfavored he was, he was born nobler than an ordinary soldier.

Let alone living and eating with ordinary soldiers like Mr. Huo, even on the battlefield, he only needs to sit in the commander's tent and strategize.

Therefore, Mr. Huo has always emphasized teaching military strategy and tactics.

These techniques for fighting enemies are merely meant to make him stronger so that he can protect himself when faced with unavoidable danger.

Gu Yuzhi said in a low voice, "Although I feel a little regretful that I can't go to the island, I also know that the people of Huizhou know that I came here."

The Prince of Chu is a prince, and so is the Prince of Wen. Moreover, once the Emperor issues his edict, the Prince of Chu's plot to rebel will be impossible to hide.

But he is different.

As Xie Changshi had previously mentioned, his high prestige among the people stemmed from his contribution of sweet potatoes and potatoes to the Emperor.

As long as he stays in Huizhou, the people of Huizhou will feel that they have support.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuzhi no longer felt like a useless little prince. He grinned at Xie Changshi and said, "Is Xie Changshi also boarding the ship tonight? If not, we'll go together to see Mr. Huo and the others off at the end of Chou hour."

Upon hearing this, Xie Changshi's expression became slightly unnatural for a moment.

He traveled and studied abroad when he was young, so he naturally traveled by boat.

But no one knew that he, who seemed to have everything under control, was actually prone to seasickness.

Whether it's a large transport ship or a small fishing boat, he gets seasick on any kind of ship.

Therefore, he definitely won't go to the island tonight.

Chief Secretary Xie stroked his beard and said casually, "With my mediocre skills, I'd better not go. Otherwise, I might end up being heavily guarded by the soldiers even if I don't manage to kill any enemies."

Although he was a civil official, he was the most capable civil official by Prince Wen's side. Before going to the battlefield, Jiang Kangming and Guard Zhang would definitely have instructed the soldiers around them to take care to protect him.

So even if he didn't get seasick, Xie Changshi didn't plan to participate in this battle.

Xie Changshi glanced at the sky outside the door, which was now completely dark: "I wonder how many soldiers are still left on Houhu Island."

Hopefully, there aren't many people; otherwise, with only a few hundred of them, they'll probably be routed as soon as they get to the ground.

Unlike the two battles in Huizhou, no one has ever seen what Houhu Island is like, nor do they know how many people live there.

So their decision to go to the island now was purely a gamble. If they were lucky, there wouldn't be many people on the other side, and they would be able to figure out the situation of the entire island.

If they're unlucky, these elite soldiers might all perish here.

Hearing what Chief Secretary Xie said, Gu Yuzhi's face also turned ugly. He puffed out his cheeks and lay on the table, his big eyes darting around.

He said silently, "Teacher Shu said I'm incredibly lucky. So there's definitely not many people on the island, and our people will definitely be able to take Houhu Island with this opportunity!"

Shu Xiaohan nodded vigorously and gave Gu Yuzhi a thumbs up: "Your Highness is absolutely right. With your good fortune, the garrison and elite troops' trip to Houhu Island tonight will definitely go very smoothly!"

Gu Yuzhi kept nodding his little head. Just thinking about how his brother, the Prince of Chu, would be so angry that he would vomit blood when he returned in disgrace after being beaten by the Duke of Qi, only to find that his own island was gone.

He covered his mouth and chuckled to himself. When he saw Chief Secretary Xie turn to look at him, he quickly lowered his hand, looking completely innocent, as if nothing had happened...
