He San Niang leaned against the wall and sighed, "That silly girl Xue'er, I feel like this road is going to be a bit difficult for her!"
Princess Jinghe sighed as well: "That's right! I guess she'll be with Cheng Huaijin for the rest of her life! I just want to know if Cheng Huaijin will marry a girl from the Great Zhou or from the West. I hope our little Xue'er will be treated well."
Gu Yingxue was the youngest, most innocent, and most beloved by her older sisters among the group of girls.
But this time, she got into trouble, and she changed completely. Everyone felt sorry for her and didn't know how to comfort her.
Previously at the Liusha Palace, Princess Jinghe and He Sanniang heard Xie Zhiyi advising Gu Yingxue not to be sad and upset, lest she harm her health and betray Xiaoyu's good intentions.
As a result, Gu Yingxue told Xie Zhiyi that she would not hurt herself, that she would take care of Yun Ge'er, and that she would be wherever Yun Ge'er was.
Xie Zhiyi then asked, "What if Yun-ge'er's uncle, Young Master Cheng, takes him back to Liusha in the future?"
Gu Yingxue told Xie Zhiyi firmly that she would come along.
Xie Zhiyi then asked, "Your family doesn't allow it, and Young Master Cheng doesn't want it either?"
Gu Yingxue said she would persuade her family, and as long as they agreed, she would stay by Yun Ge'er's side.
Yun Ge'er is Cheng Huaiyu's son. Once the war is over, Cheng Huaijin will definitely take his nephew back. At that time, no one will be as close to Cheng Huaijin as Yun Ge'er, and no one can stop him.
He San Niang said irritably, "Sister Zhen, why are the Gu family's daughters so stubborn? I don't know what kind of person Cheng Huaijin was before, but after these past few months, well, he's only like a younger sister to Xin Xin; he's cold to everyone else. Xue'er is taking care of Yun Ge'er with him, sigh, just thinking about how lively and lovely Xue'er is in front of this cold person..."
He San Niang couldn't continue speaking.
Princess Jinghe was at a loss for words.
...
That evening, Gu Xin came over with a medicine bottle containing dark green liquid. She took a brush and applied it all over Cheng Huaijin's body, who was already dressed in black.
Gu Xin asked with a smile, "Brother, don't you think this smell is pungent?"
Cheng Huaijin calmly replied, "It's alright."
Princess Jinghe covered her nose and exclaimed, "Prince Ahai is extraordinary! This smell is truly suffocating. I was just thinking of going with you, Prince Ahai, but thankfully I didn't."
Cheng Huaijin glanced at Princess Jinghe thoughtfully; this princess was quite strange.
Princess Jinghe looked at Cheng Huaijin calmly and smiled.
Cheng Huaijin withdrew his gaze: "Xinxin, Sister Hui, Princess, Miss He, I'll leave things here to you."
Gu Xin nodded: "Brother, be careful. If you get hurt, take your medicine immediately. Take the pills in that little white bottle if you're seriously injured. Also, take the signal flare with you, don't lose it. Use it immediately in case of any emergency. We'll be waiting for you to come back!"
Cheng Huaijin: "Mm."
Then, watched by several girls, he left, smelling strongly of alcohol, carrying a small bundle on his shoulder.
The bundle contained snuff bottles that would render anyone weak from their smell. These wild buffalo were too ferocious, so Cheng Huaijin had brought quite a few, fearing they might not be enough.
After Cheng Huaijin left, Princess Jinghe asked Gu Xin, "Xin Xin, as his sister, do you think he would listen to your advice, help you, or treat someone kindly because of you?"
