Chapter 6 The only injured person in the family, with a broken butt
He Zhaojun was so careless that she let him struggle. "If you get hypothermia now, you'll really die. There's a shortage of doctors and medicine in the cave. Sister, please don't cause trouble for the other soldiers."
Seeing her like this, the people around her hurriedly gathered together clothes and wanted to give them to cover the two of them, but He Zhaojun refused: "My illness is probably not a big deal. If any of you are sick, it will reduce your fighting power. Put on your clothes quickly."
This is the truth.
He Zhaojun is now powerless and at most a smart think tank. If a real fight breaks out, it would be a blessing if she doesn't hold us back.
As for this sickly person with a high fever, she just thought that he was a female official who was ordered to leave the palace and was living outside. She never thought about who his real identity was.
"Leave a few people to guard the night, and the others should rest and replenish their energy." After saying this, the extremely tired He Zhaojun fell asleep quickly.
The next day, she was awakened by the sunlight shining into the cave. Every part of her body ached, and her throat was so sore that she couldn't speak.
She turned over and sat up, but found that there was no one else in the cave except two maids.
"Where are the others? Were they...captured by the enemy?" He Zhaojun jumped three feet high, not caring about the pain in her thighs and buttocks.
He Zhaojun's tears flowed freely, and coupled with the cold she had caught yesterday, her face became a mess, her voice became nasal, her eyes were swollen, and she looked a mess.
As soon as the two maidservants saw she was awake, they hurriedly helped her up. "Don't worry, young lady. Last night, General Ling's vanguard dispersed the pursuing enemy troops and started a battle at Zhaojiapo, five miles away. They won the battle in less than an hour. We are safe now."
He Zhaojun breathed a sigh of relief, then remembered something and asked hurriedly, "How are my father and brother?"
"With a daughter as wise and brave as you, the He family will naturally be safe." A young general with a strong build, wearing black armor gilded with gold, a white belt with a pattern of gold threads tied around his waist, his hair tied up high, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, walked up to He Zhaojun from outside the cave.
He Zhaojun was stunned for a moment, then quickly greeted him: "Greetings, General Ling. May I ask where my father and brother are and if they are injured?"
Ling Buyi glanced at He Zhaojun and spoke with unexpected patience, "The Valiant Cavalry General and several junior generals are currently participating in the suppression of the rebels. They are safe for now... and are not injured."
He Zhaojun received a positive answer and sat down on the ground. After several days of fear, she was still able to bear it physically, but her mind was no longer able to bear it.
"Now that you've woken up, the Black Armor Guards[5] will escort you back to the capital. After all, you are the only one in the He family who is seriously injured." There was no sarcasm in Ling Buyi's tone, but He Zhaojun always felt that he was making fun of her.
Yesterday, when she was transferring from the carriage to the horse, she accidentally dislocated her arm and didn't dare to tell anyone about it until she went to bed. Perhaps for this reason, she had the same high fever in the middle of the night as her elder sister.
"By the way, where is the sister from yesterday now? How is her health? Is she feeling better?" He Zhaojun's series of questions made Ling Buyi fall silent.
The Third Prince hated being identified as a woman the most, and no one around him dared to call him that, but He Zhaojun... Ling Buyi remembered the Third Prince's instructions. He actually intentionally concealed his identity from He Zhaojun.
This time he traveled secretly, but was constantly ambushed and all the guards around him were killed. Faced with external and internal troubles, they didn't even know who was behind the scenes. If He Zhaojun hadn't accidentally rescued the third prince, he would probably have been a corpse by now.
In order to protect the life of the Third Prince in the midst of the chaos, it is not impossible to dress up as a woman, right?
