Chapter 1044 Master Han Steps In
One hour later.
Song Chunxue put on her clothes, lay down in Xie Zheng's bed, and kept her eyelids so heavy she could barely open them.
Xie Zheng, who had just taken a shower, was drying her hair. Following her example, I pulled up the covers and lay down.
"Go downstairs, be careful someone comes in." Song Chunxue wanted to take a nap, but this was a tent, not a tent with a door that could be locked.
"Don't worry, I've already given the orders. Break their legs as soon as they come in." Xie Zheng held her hand. "If you're sleepy, go to sleep. I'll read a book here for a while."
She closed her eyes, but couldn't fall asleep.
When are we going to the capital?
"I was able to set off a few days ago, just waiting for you to come so we can go to the capital together."
Song Chunxue asked curiously, "You've been dismissed from your post?"
"Yes, that's true. I'm just waiting for the Emperor's approval of the memorial. But even if he doesn't approve it, according to the agreement, I will not continue to serve as an official."
Song Chunxue was relieved. "Being a civil official is fine, but if you become a military general and get so many injuries, with so many weapons on the battlefield, even if you cultivate, it won't help. Your back will be so sore you could wash clothes."
Xie Zheng smiled and said, "They're just minor injuries, nothing to worry about."
"Not worth mentioning?" Song Chunxue was both amused and exasperated. "Lord Xie, do you know how worried I was about you before?"
"It was my fault," Xie Zheng put down his book and sat up straight. "It won't happen again. I promised you I wouldn't worry you anymore."
He looked around. "Put these books away tonight, we'll leave tomorrow."
"I also want to wander the world with you, cultivate together, and become your Daoist partner."
Song Chunxue buried her face in the blanket. "I'm getting old, I'm ashamed. Don't say it out loud. I can't stand hearing things like that lately."
"I understand, I haven't been listening enough."
"..." Can it be interpreted this way?
"I'll go get some food. I forgot to make you a pot of tea." With that, Xie Zheng hurriedly walked towards the door.
"I don't need the food, I brought my own, but the tea is fine." Although she could eat the food in the military camp, there were some hardships she didn't have to endure.
She didn't want to make things difficult for herself, firstly because it was too salty.
This indicates that the military camp still had silver, and they added more salt to give the soldiers strength.
But she eats very bland food; the soup last time was so salty it hurt her throat.
"Okay, wait for me to come back and see what delicious food you brought." Xie Zheng handed her a plate of snacks. "Chunshu brought these. Try them."
Watching Xie Zheng's departing figure, Song Chunxue wondered, "Has Liu Chunshu come too?"
His child must be six or seven years old by now.
Is he free?
A short while later, someone knocked on the door.
"Knock knock knock".
Song Chunxue didn't say anything, but quickly got off the bed and hid behind the screen next to her.
"Knock knock knock." Liu Chunshu's voice came from outside, "Master Song?"
"Come in."
Song Chunxue looked at the person in front of her with some surprise, "When did you arrive?"
“Last month, I learned that Lord Xie was going to retire from the military and return to his hometown, so I came to meet him.” Song Chunxue came in with a smile, carrying hot tea. “Lord Xie was summoned by another general and had important matters to discuss, so he asked me to come and tell you first.”
Song Chunxue took out a lotus leaf chicken from her storage ring, peeled it open, and gave him a chicken leg.
"You really brought some delicious food. I've been craving it for the past two days. Thank you, Master Song."
Liu Chunshu poured her a cup of tea and sat down in the chair opposite her.
Are you planning to return to the capital with the master?
"Um."
"Do you know that the Emperor doesn't intend to approve his memorial and is still using the same old methods to threaten you?"
Song Chunxue took a bite of chicken. "Didn't Master Han stand up for him?"
Liu Chunshu laughed and pulled his stool forward a bit. "Of course I stepped forward. The Emperor didn't attend the morning court for three days. It's said he was so frightened that he fainted. The Imperial Hospital was almost in an uproar."
