Seeing that she was worried while eating, Mother Gu became worried, "Ranran, what's wrong with you? What's on your mind?"

Gu Xinran collected her thoughts and replied softly, "It's okay. Please ask the kitchen to make some soup to replenish qi and blood, and some nutritious rice porridge."

Mother Gu looked at her with concern. Seeing that she couldn't eat, she thought that her daughter wanted to change her taste because she had experienced too many things today and her emotions fluctuated too much.

After finishing the rice in the bowl in a few mouthfuls, he stood up and said, "I will stew it for you myself. If you feel uncomfortable or tired, go back to your room and rest well. I will bring it to you after it is cooked."

Gu Xinran was worried about her brother in the space, Xiao Mingzhan and her uncle on the battlefield, so she really had no appetite and agreed to go back to her room.

I thought to myself, it’s really nice that my seriously ill elder brother can eat the delicious food cooked by my mother, so I let this beautiful misunderstanding continue.

Gu Xinran entered the space guest room again, and Brother Gu was still sleeping.

She went to the second courtyard again, but Xiao Mingzhan had not returned.

Thinking that they must have experienced a tough battle today, otherwise her brother would not have been so seriously injured, she had to do her part.

Then let’s prepare a big meal filled with spiritual spring water to nourish them.

Gu Xinran was in the kitchen of the east wing, cooking delicious food while keeping an eye on her elder brother Gu in the guest room. She had already prepared the meal, but her elder brother Gu still hadn't woken up.

Instead, the ginseng chicken soup and lean meat and vegetable porridge cooked by Gu's mother were delivered first. Gu Xinran opened the door to welcome her mother in. Under her expectant eyes, a small bowl of soup and porridge was served.

It tastes really good, but you can’t eat all the patient’s food.

She could only say awkwardly: "Mom, I'm full, but leave these here for now. I need to continue drinking later."

Seeing that she had eaten some, Gu's mother felt relieved and told her to rest more before leaving.

He murmured inwardly that this great joy was also a tiring thing, and the two imperial edicts really needed some time to digest.

It's no wonder that she is still feeling the aftershocks of her daughter being granted the title of county princess. There are very few county princesses with fiefdoms. Her daughter Ranran is truly someone favored by the gods. She is simply different.

As soon as her mother left, Gu Xinran took the food and immediately entered the space. Coincidentally, her elder brother Gu woke up at that moment.

As she placed the food on the table, she asked warmly, "Brother, are you feeling better? Shall we eat something first? This soup and porridge were both cooked by mother herself."

Brother Gu blinked and responded, struggling to get up.

Gu Xinran waved her hand to stop him, "Don't move, wait for me to help you, be careful not to open your wound."

Seeing his sister's anxious expression, Brother Gu obediently stayed still. In fact, he felt that his condition had improved a lot, he was in good spirits, and the wound was not as painful as he had imagined. He knew in his heart that his sister must have given him a lot of good medicine.

Gu Xinran found two pillows, gently helped Brother Gu up, and let him sit sideways.

I first poured a bowl of ginseng chicken soup, which was just the right temperature, and prepared to feed it to him.

Brother Gu smiled and said, "My hand is fine, you can do it yourself."

Gu Xinran squinted at him and said, "But you have something wrong with your chest. If you move your hand, it will hurt the wound. Just enjoy your sister's service. This opportunity is hard to come by!"

Brother Gu is now focusing on being obedient, as he knows that his injury must have made his sister very worried.

As soon as I put the chicken soup in my mouth, I felt warm in my heart. This is the taste of mother's food.

He said anxiously: "Ranran, my mother doesn't know about my injury, right? You must not tell her, lest she be sad."

"Not yet. Tell me what happened on the battlefield over there? You were so badly injured. Didn't my uncle and the others take proper care of you?"

Gu Yuchen thought of the bloody battlefield and his comrades falling in rows under arrows, and his heart was filled with grief. War was so cruel.

The first time he went to the battlefield, he became the captain of the vanguard battalion with his excellent skills. Despite his uncle's objection, he became the vanguard of the siege.

The battlefield is not a place to show off one's bravery. No matter how good your kung fu is, you will be powerless under the dense arrows.

Fortunately, Brother Xiao rescued me this time, otherwise my first time on the battlefield would have become my last time. I am so scared.

Looking at his sister, he looked guilty. "It's my fault this time. I was so brave and insisted on being the vanguard. My uncle tried to stop me, saying that the vanguards were all veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles. It was me who didn't listen."

Gu Xinran was so disappointed. "What did I tell you before we left? I told you to take it one step at a time. Do you think the honor of being the first to reach the summit is so easy? You're really pissed me off."

Because of this anger, he fed the soup faster. Brother Gu knew he was in the wrong, so he could only swallow it continuously.

She glanced cautiously at her angry sister and muttered aggrievedly, "I want to become powerful as soon as possible, also for you and my family. Being a princess is not easy, and my father has a blood feud."

Gu Xinran is now very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, and can hear her elder brother's muttering clearly, which makes her both angry and amused.

There was actually a reason why Big Brother was so ambitious. Alas, she didn't need them to make such sacrifices.

She glared at Brother Gu and said earnestly, "Good brother, I'm very capable. Just work hard to realize your dream of becoming a general. Don't be impatient. No one can bully me. When have you ever seen me suffer a loss? I'm lucky I won't bully Brother Xiao after we get married."

"Ran Ran, you are going to bully me after we get married!"

With a joking voice, Xiao Mingzhan appeared at the door of the guest room, staring at her with a forced smile.

Haha, I got caught talking about people behind their backs. It was 100% embarrassing.

But concern outweighed embarrassment. He scanned him up and down, and seeing that he appeared unharmed, he replied with an awkward smile, "Brother Xiao, eavesdropping is ungentlemanly. Are you hurt?"

Xiao Mingzhan looked helplessly at the girl who was turning the tables on him, and he had no idea what to do.

He patted her head and smiled dotingly, "The door is open. I listened openly. Don't worry, there's no serious injury."

After saying that, he walked to Gu Yuchen's bedside, with a look of concern on his face, "Is Yuchen feeling better? Don't work too hard in the future. Don't worry, Ranran is the one I hold in my hands, and I will never bully her."

Brother Gu nodded obediently, surprised. Is this how Brother Xiao and his sister get along in private? The head pats and the witty banter—is this the same King of Qi who slaughtered his enemies on the battlefield?

He spoke with some fear: "I believe you, may I ask if Changning County has been captured?"

Xiao Mingzhan nodded, his face heavy, "We have taken it, but there were many casualties."

Hearing this news, Brother Gu felt a little more comforted, knowing that his comrades' blood was not shed in vain.

Gu Xinran was also relieved, and thinking of her uncle, she asked, "Is the general well?"

Xiao Mingzhan nodded, "Okay, no serious injuries."

Gu Xinran thought of Xiao Mingzhan's answer just now. He was not seriously injured, which meant that he was injured. No, she had to see it with her own eyes to be at ease.
