Seeing the old general's shocked expression, Han Luoxue smiled, took out a medicine bottle, and handed it to the old general: "Grandpa, this is for you!"
The old general excitedly took it, opened the bottle cap, and saw three round little balls inside.
Curious, he poured out one and looked at the tiny ball: "This is the Disguise Pill?"
He knew about disguise techniques, but no matter how well he disguised himself, there would always be flaws.
This disguise pill can not only change a person's appearance and age, but even their voice! How could he not be excited? This is simply a miraculous medicine that defies the heavens. If there were many of these things, then…
The old general was too excited to think about it, but he also knew that such a miraculous thing couldn't exist indefinitely.
It must have been quite difficult for Han Luoxue to obtain it.
"If Grandpa doesn't believe me, you can try one. But this thing only lasts for ten days, and there's no antidote."
The implication is that if you take the medicine, you will have to disguise yourself for ten days and cannot change your appearance beforehand.
"Why would you try something so precious!"
The old general rolled his eyes at Han Luoxue, annoyed. This little girl really didn't know how to manage her money. Such a powerful item should naturally be used wisely.
In a critical moment, this thing can save your life.
"Why did you two suddenly come to the capital? And to make matters worse, why disguise yourselves like this?"
The old general looked at the two suspiciously. Not many people knew Han Yuchen's identity. His appearance was very different from before. People who were not particularly familiar with him would not be able to recognize him.
Besides, there's no need for the two of them to go out and show their faces since they're at the General's Mansion. The chances of them being recognized are even slimmer, so there's no need for them to disguise themselves.
Something must have happened that he was unaware of.
When his grandfather asked, Han Yuchen didn't hide anything and told him about the events in Hutouya Village.
When the old general heard that the crown prince had gone to Tiger Head Cliff Village and knew what he had done and what he planned, he was so angry that his hair almost stood on end. He was panting heavily, clearly furious.
"That bastard!"
"That beast!"
He's not even human!
"Regardless of whether the target is you or not, no one would do such a thing. Even an ordinary person wouldn't do this; he's the crown prince!"
"How could he be so shameless! I know he's a scoundrel, but he..."
Fortunately, the Crown Prince wasn't here; if he were, the old general would probably have beaten her half to death.
"You guys, you didn't encounter any pursuers on the way, did you?"
Based on the old general's understanding of the crown prince, this man was unlikely to give up so easily.
The Crown Prince is ruthless and cunning, with an unpredictable and volatile temperament. Yet, he behaves extremely obedient and sensible in front of the Emperor, never vying for anything. Only a blind Emperor would think the Crown Prince is so good.
"There probably were, but we ran fast and didn't have a fixed location, so we didn't run into them."
Han Yuchen said nonchalantly, "It's not that I'm afraid of him, I just don't want to confront him for the time being."
“You did the right thing. That madman is not a match for us for now.”
The old general frowned, listening to Han Yuchen's words, he realized that the Crown Prince must have done this kind of thing quite often.
But how can such a crown prince become emperor in the future?
"Grandpa, I already told you about what the Crown Prince did on the way here. Hasn't the news reached the capital yet?"
The old general shook his head; no one in the capital had actually mentioned this.
"It must have been the Crown Prince's men who did it. But it's alright, the Crown Prince's fate is in our hands now, what do we have to be afraid of!"
The old general thought about it and agreed: "You're right. So, does that mean your wedding is off?"
Are these two incompatible according to their birth charts? Why does it seem like every time they get married, things don't go smoothly?
"It's done, Xue'er is pregnant."
Han Yuchen proudly raised her head; she would be able to eat meat sooner or later, and she would have a child too.
"You...you're really pregnant?"
This time, the old general's expression was even more shocked. He stared intently at Han Luoxue, his gaze landing on her stomach.
Han Luoxue raised her hand and touched her belly. Actually, she didn't want to have a child so early. She was not that old, why would she want a child so early?
Having children will only slow down her earning speed.
She had originally planned to wait until she was over twenty, but who could have imagined that this little guy would come so suddenly?
"Okay, okay, okay!"
After being shocked, the old general happily said "good" several times.
The servants outside craned their necks in bewilderment; the old general hadn't been this happy in a long time.
What's wrong with him?
The old lady brought over the soup. The two of them were not young anymore, but in the past, the old general was always on the frontier and rarely came back.
The couple rarely saw each other. When she was young, she could accompany the old general to guard the border, but as she got older, her old bones could no longer withstand the harshness of the frontier, so she could only wait in the capital.
The old lady cherished the old general's days in the capital and personally cooked soup for him every day.
When she came over today, she suddenly heard her husband's cheerful laughter, which piqued her curiosity.
How long has it been since the old general laughed so heartily?
"Your Excellency, I don't know what happened either. The General just saw two strangers, whom I've never seen before."
"Stranger? How old are you?"
These two are quite capable for making the old general so happy.
"They were around 30 years old, a married couple!"
The old lady became even more curious. She stepped forward with the soup bowl, and the servant hurriedly said, "General, the old lady has arrived."
Hearing the voice, Han Luoxue became a little nervous. She gripped Han Yuchen's hand tightly. This was the first time she had met the old lady, Han Yuchen's maternal grandmother.
She didn't know if she would like her. After all, she was just a village girl with no connections in the countryside.
Sensing Han Luoxue's nervousness, Han Yuchen put his arm around her shoulder reassuringly: "Grandma has a very good temper, she will like you."
Han Yuchen comforted her in a low voice. Han Luoxue nodded, but she was still very uneasy.
The door creaked open, and a dignified old woman slowly walked in.
"What are you laughing at? I could hear you laughing so hard outside that it was practically bursting the roof off."
The old lady was all smiles, her smile was kind, and her voice was very gentle.
"Haha, what a joyous occasion, a truly great joyous occasion!"
Seeing the old lady enter, the old general hurried over to take the soup bowl and said to the servant at the door, "Close the door and guard it well. Don't let anyone in!"
The servant nodded hurriedly. The old lady became even more curious. She looked at the middle-aged couple in the room with suspicion and asked in surprise, "Who is this?"
"Grandma, it's me! It's Yuchen."
"Yu Chen?"
The old lady never expected that this middle-aged man was actually her grandson.
"Are you disguised?"
However, the old lady was a woman who had seen a lot, and she quickly figured it out. She turned to look at the woman next to Han Yuchen: "Is this Xue'er?"
