"You all go out first." Su Renzhong looked at Duanmu Junyu, then waved to the military doctor and Mu Wenhai and the others.
"Alright, we'll wait for you outside. You can help her get ready too." Mu Wenhai was quite sensible and led the military doctors out of the tent.
After they had all left the tent, Su Renzhong looked at Duanmu Junyu with concern: "You really don't remember me at all?"
Duanmu Junyu stared blankly at Su Renzhong, then suddenly said, "You are my husband!"
"Cough cough..." Su Renzhong was so startled by her words that he coughed violently, and said nervously and awkwardly, "You... why did you say that?"
What did she remember?
Then shouldn't we say he's her husband?
Duanmu Junyu blinked innocently: "That person just said that I'm your wife, so aren't you my husband?"
...Su Renzhong was speechless.
That Mu Wenhai guy is really something; I'll definitely shut him up next time.
Su Renzhong awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth: "I am not your husband."
Upon hearing this, Duanmu Junyu frowned and said in a pitiful voice, "You don't want me anymore?"
"No." Seeing Duanmu Junyu's aggrieved look, Su Renzhong felt a pang of heartache: "How could I..."
Su Renzhong was about to say something to comfort her, but then realized it was inappropriate and quickly added, "I'm really not your husband. Don't listen to what others are saying. We're not married yet."
Duanmu Junyu understood the implication in those words and said as if she knew what was going on, "So that means we're getting married soon!"
...Su Renzhong looked at Duanmu Junyu helplessly.
She's quite good at drawing inferences from one instance to another. What did he say that made her think they were about to get married?
"Ahem!" Su Renzhong coughed again, then looked at Duanmu Junyu and changed the subject, saying, "Well... do you want to go home?"
At this moment, Duanmu Junyu had no concept of "family" whatsoever. She frowned and asked, "Do I still have family?"
"This..." This question stumped Su Renzhong.
Does she have family?
She's already succeeded to the throne, so her mother must be gone. I wonder if her father is still alive. She also has a younger sister, but that sister is very vicious and can hardly be considered family!
Duanmu Junyu saw his troubled expression and automatically assumed that she had no family left: "Since I have no family left, why would I go home? Besides, we're getting married soon, so of course I want to be with you!"
Although she had lost her memory, she felt very comfortable looking at the man in front of her, and she wanted him to stay with her.
"Cough cough..." Duanmu Junyu's two blunt words once again shocked Su Renzhong.
How did we end up talking about marriage again?
Su Renzhong looked at Duanmu Junyu nervously and shyly: "Um, are you really willing to marry me?"
Duanmu Junyu blinked: "Weren't we supposed to get married anyway?"
...Su Renzhong didn't know how to respond to those words.
"Are you unwilling?" Duanmu Junyu put on a pitiful expression again.
"No, why would I be unwilling?" Su Renzhong quickly denied it upon seeing this, then blushed slightly and said, "I'm just afraid of making you feel wronged."
Duanmu Junyu stared intently at Su Renzhong's handsome face and muscular physique, almost swallowing hard: "I'm not wronged."
Her unabashedly direct gaze made Su Renzhong's face burn again.
Has she really lost her memory? He feels like she hasn't changed at all!
Hearing the commotion outside, Duanmu Junyu looked at Su Renzhong uneasily: "Are you going to take me away?"
Su Renzhong also heard the commotion outside; it must be Mu Wenhai directing the soldiers to break camp.
He tucked the blanket around Duanmu Junyu and comforted her, "Your injuries haven't healed yet, so we won't leave for now."
As Su Renzhong was about to get up, Duanmu Junyu quickly grabbed him again, saying anxiously, "You're not going to leave me alone, are you?"
Looking at Duanmu Junyu's anxious little eyes, Su Renzhong felt heartache again and couldn't help but lean down and plant a light kiss on her forehead: "Don't worry, I won't leave you, wait for me."
After comforting Duanmu Junyu, Su Renzhong turned and left, leaving Duanmu Junyu blushing and clutching the corner of the blanket, lost in embarrassment...
Su Renzhong left the tent and, sure enough, saw Mu Wenhai directing the soldiers to break camp.
Upon seeing Su Renzhong emerge, Mu Wenhai quickly asked, "Are you all packed? They're almost done, we can set off anytime."
Seeing that the soldiers had almost finished packing, Su Renzhong thought that when he announced the withdrawal a few days ago, they had already finished packing. If it weren't for the delay of these past few days, they would have already embarked on their journey back to the capital.
As if he had made up his mind, Su Renzhong looked at Mu Wenhai and said, "You take the soldiers and withdraw them back to the capital first. As for me, I will personally write a memorial and send it back to the Emperor to explain."
He didn't intentionally refuse to lead his troops back to the capital; there are special circumstances now, and he believes the Emperor should be able to understand.
Mu Wenhai looked puzzled and frowned, saying, "Aren't you coming back with us? Your wife is already awake."
Su Renzhong glared at him: "She's awake, not healed. She was so badly injured, and she's only just woken up. How could she possibly come back to the capital with us after such a long and arduous journey!"
At this point, Su Renzhong was too lazy to correct Mu Wenhai's way of addressing her. Since he was going to marry her in the future, then she would be his wife!
"That's true!" Mu Wenhai hadn't really thought of that possibility; Su Renzhong was much more thoughtful.
Thinking of the woman's weak appearance in the tent, Mu Wenhai could only compromise: "Alright, then I'll lead the soldiers to retreat first and take them back to the capital. You can stay here with your wife."
We've already pulled out half of the camp; we can't expect everyone to put the tents back up.
Besides, the Emperor's decree has been issued for several days now. If we delay any longer, it will truly be considered disobeying the Emperor's orders.
Mu Wenhai glanced back at Su Renzhong's tent: "Take good care of your wife. Once she's better, take her back to the capital. After all, the imperial physicians in the capital have better skills and better medicines. They might even be able to cure your wife's amnesia."
"Yes," Su Renzhong replied solemnly.
What he feared was that the more time he spent with Duanmu Junyu, the less he would be able to accept the possibility of their separation in the future. So now he couldn't tell whether Duanmu Junyu's amnesia was good news or bad news for him.
As if remembering something, Su Renzhong pulled Mu Wenhai aside and said, "I have something else I'd like to ask you for help with."
"What?" Mu Wenhai asked curiously, Su Renzhong had actually used the word "beg".
Su Renzhong said bitterly, "Didn't she lose her memory? She forgot her family and is now an orphan. I want to ask you to take her in as your adopted sister."
