Chapter 161 But shouldn’t I go in and rest?
Cen Bei was about to say something when he suddenly saw several fast horses appear in the distance: "Miss Bi'er, look over there, are the prince and princess returning?"
Bi'er hurriedly looked into the distance, almost jumping up with excitement: "Yes, it's the prince and princess who have returned. It must be them."
Cen Bei also stared over and asked in confusion, "I can't see clearly from such a distance, how did you see clearly, Miss Bi'er?"
Bi'er pointed into the distance and said, "Did you see the person on horseback at the back? That's Master Jin. He's the only one riding a horse like that, and he's almost been thrown to the sky by the horse, so there's no doubt that it's the Princess and the Prince who have returned."
Cen Bei:......
Several people soon arrived in front of him. Cen Nan couldn't suppress his excitement and was the first to dismount: "Bi'er, I..."
Before he could finish his words, Cen Nan felt himself being pulled away...
"Princess...Princess, you are finally back. It's been ten days, ten days already. Woohoo...I was so worried. If anything happened to you, I would die."
Bu Ruo patted Bi'er's shoulder and comforted her softly: "I'm fine, the prince is fine too, it's just that Cen Nan almost died this time..."
Jin Congcong also nodded seriously: "It's true, he almost died. Ruo'er said that his soul had left his body. In the end, it was the prince who found his soul and brought it back. Now he can stand in front of you."
"Otherwise, the person coming back with us now would probably be a corpse."
Bier already knew Cen Nan's feelings from the letters he wrote to Cen Bei. She was not a fool. In fact, even without those letters, she could feel that Cen Nan treated her differently.
"Well...I'm...very happy that you can come back alive."
Cen Nan looked at Bier's flushed face and just wanted to pick her up and spin her around a few times, but he... didn't dare.
"Your Highness, Princess, let's go back to the barracks. I'll go get some water for you to wash. Your dress is all dirty."
Jin Congcong followed behind with his head down, not daring to say a word, for fear that Bu Ruo would remember asking him to compensate her for her dress. Just that dress alone would not be enough to cover his monthly salary, not to mention half a year's salary.
As the Beining army retreated, the soldiers of the Great Zhou could finally breathe a sigh of relief. After learning that Xiao Yulan and his wife had returned, General Cui happily ordered a reward for the three armies.
That night, Xiao Yulan sat in the distance and watched Bu Ruo, Bier, Jin Congcong and others having fun outside. The doting in his eyes almost turned into reality.
"Your Highness, are you really alright? I see you look a little off."
Cen Bei has always been careful and noticed something shortly after Xiao Yulan came back. But just as he asked the question, he saw Xiao Yulan spit out a mouthful of blood. He was so scared that he immediately wanted to call Doctor Du.
"Don't go! I'm fine, don't alarm them, and don't let Ruo'er know."
"I'm going to rest for a while. If Ruo'er asks, just say I'm tired and went to bed first. You can take care of the rest."
At the horizon, the woman frowned and looked at the man: "What happened to that kid? Did something happen in the space-time rift that I don't know about?"
"I'm telling you, don't think you can hide this from me just because you're more advanced than me. Otherwise, from today on, you won't be able to enter my house again."
The man looked at her and sighed deeply: "The boy's current situation...is indeed not very good."
"After he regained consciousness with Ruo'er's help and remembered who he was, he would secretly repair his demon core almost every day. However, his demon core is different, so how could it be repaired so easily?"
"His demon core was shattered in two. This time, several people in the sky sensed his and Ruo'er's presence in the crack and came looking for them, but he killed all five of them in the crack. That's why he didn't have the strength to escape. Otherwise, how could a crack have trapped him, who had already recovered his memory?"
"It's just that the demon core he had finally repaired... shattered into several pieces again, and it's even worse than before..."
"Can't Ruo'er's spiritual power help him repair it?"
The man shook his head: "No, that kid is not an ordinary demon after all. Ruo'er can restore his consciousness, but the demon pill... I'm afraid he can only rely on himself."
The woman looked at Xiao Yulan who was repairing his demon core alone and said, "What will happen if his demon core fails to be repaired?"
"If he hadn't been repaired, he probably wouldn't even have lived to the end of his life. He should know that the reason he was able to survive even though his demon core was broken was because of the strength of his bloodline. If it were someone else, he would have died long ago, and there would be no way he could be reincarnated."
"Doesn't that mean I only have a few years left to live?" The woman rolled her eyes, feeling conflicted...
In the middle of the night, Bu Ruo finally had enough fun and went to Xiao Yulan's tent with barbecue in his hand, but was stopped outside by Cen Bei.
"Huh? What are you doing?"
"Princess...Princess, the prince is tired and has already rested. You should also rest early."
Bu Ruo looked at him as if he were a fool: "Yes, but don't I have to go in and rest? Are you going to let me lie down on the fighting field to rest?"
Cen Bei:......
I really want to slap myself twice. He actually forgot such an important thing.
"How about...Princess, why don't you stay at Miss Bi'er's tent for the night? You've been gone for so many days and Miss Bi'er must be worried sick. Would you like to comfort her?"
Bu Ruo turned around and glanced at someone who was still flirting with Cen Nan: "Are you really sure Bi'er needs to be comforted now? Can't Cen Nan hate me if I go to comfort him?"
"Cen Bei, you are hiding something from me."
Looking at Bu Ruo's narrowed eyes, Cen Bei's heart trembled with fear: "Really not, the prince is just tired and has fallen asleep. I really didn't lie to the princess."
"Get out of the way!" Bu Ruo was anxious. "What happened to Xiao Yulan? Could he still be raising a woman in this military camp without telling me? Is he injured? Get out of my way!"
Seeing Cen Bei guarding the door of the tent, Bu Ruo threw away the barbecue in his hand, pushed Cen Bei aside with his sleeve, and walked in.
"Xiao...Xiao Yulan, what's wrong with you?"
Bu Ruo felt a pang of pain in her heart when she saw Xiao Yulan lying on the simple bed with a pale face. She walked over fearfully and slowly put her hand under his nose.
"Fortunately... fortunately... I'm still breathing."
"Xiao Yulan, Xiao Yulan, wake up. What's wrong with you? Why are you so cold?"
"Cen Bei! Get the hell in here!"
When Cen Bei heard Bu Ruo's voice, he knew that he was finished, so he hurried in as fast as he could and knelt on the ground.
"Princess, I'm telling you, the prince vomited blood at that time, and he asked his subordinates to keep it a secret from you."
"The prince said he would be fine after a short rest. I... I don't know why he became like this. I will go and get Doctor Du right away. I will go now."
Bu Ruo held Xiao Yulan's hand with a grim expression: "No need to go, he's like this... I'm afraid Doctor Du can't do anything, let me take a look."
