But she made sure to deliver the food every day, and the late-night snacks were a must, along with the tonic soups and medicines to strengthen the body.
Looking at him now, Su Chien seems to have become much stronger.
She asked with a smile, "What brings you here today? Did Guard Ming give you a day off?"
"There is something I need to tell my sister."
"What?" Su Wanyan finished applying the medicine and put the stopper back into the bottle.
Su Chien looked at Su Wanyan: "Sister, I want to go out and gain experience."
"What!?" Su Wanyan's eyes widened in surprise.
He immediately realized: "Was it Guard Ming's idea?"
Su Chien nodded: "Yes, but I'm willing too. My master originally said he would come and report to you, but I want to tell you this in person."
Su Wanyan didn't understand: "What do you mean by going out for training? Can't we stay in the manor?"
"My master said that practicing martial arts in the manor is too comfortable, and every move is restricted. Going outside can increase practical experience and make progress faster."
"Practical experience?" Is he going to challenge or to make a move?
Su Wanyan hesitated; this wasn't her area of expertise.
Although she wasn't good at it, she understood that Mingyu and the others were all from the battlefield, and they might not find the kind of strict, step-by-step training method suitable.
But they've only been training for a short time, and they're already going out to gain experience?
Is something going to happen?
Su Wanyan asked, "Do you really want to?"
Su Chien stared at Su Wanyan with wide eyes and nodded earnestly, "Mm."
Having no other choice, Su Wanyan could only smile and ask, "Approximately how long will it take?"
"It could take one or two years, or three to five years."
"Will it take that long?" Su Wanyan was even more reluctant.
"Sister, I've made up my mind." Su Chien was afraid that Su Wanyan would disagree, so she became even more serious.
This was Su Chien's wish, how could Su Wanyan disagree?
She just felt it was too hard. Why did she have to go on a long trip after practicing martial arts?
Did Guard Ming say when they would depart?
"today."
"What!?" Su Wanyan exclaimed in shock again, "Can't it be tomorrow?"
She hadn't prepared anything.
I need to bring winter clothes, medicine, travel expenses, and dry food.
What about Chinese New Year?
Are we not even celebrating the New Year?
Su Chien shook his head: "Master said to travel light, only taking the necessary travel expenses and nothing else."
"Huh?" Is this a trial or a tribulation?
"Don't worry, sister. With Master here, nothing will go wrong."
"..." Su Wanyan was speechless: "This deep winter weather is no joke, we should definitely bring some winter clothes."
"My master said that if you can't overcome the harsh winter cold, you shouldn't practice martial arts."
Su Wanyan's heart skipped a beat. Is it... really that strict?
"What about food?"
"You have to go up the mountain to find it yourself."
"medicine?"
"My master said he would teach me to identify some medicinal herbs."
Su Wanyan was speechless. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but Su Chien interrupted her: "Don't worry, sister, I will study hard. Even if you can wait three to five years, I can't wait. At most, one year. I will definitely come back in one year!"
Since Su Chien had already said that, what could Su Wanyan say? She sighed helplessly, "Alright."
She added, "Then bring plenty of travel expenses."
"You can't bring too many, the master said..."
"Master my ass! No matter how much money you have, it won't last long. You can only eat well for the first few days. If Mingyu asks, just say that's what I said!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chien stopped arguing and nodded firmly: "Okay! I'll listen to my sister!"
"What time are you leaving today? I'll take you."
"Master will come to report to the Prince later. Before that, I'd like to change my clothes." These clothes were worn while practicing martial arts. While practicing, my body was warm and I didn't feel cold, but after calming down, they didn't keep me warm at all.
I won't bring winter clothes, but I can wear a set.
"I'll have Qiuye help you."
"No need, sister, I can manage on my own." There's nothing I need help with.
"Alright."
After saying goodbye to Su Wanyan, Su Chien happily returned to his room.
Not long after Su Chien left, Mingyu came to find Yu Nanqing.
Su Wanyan stood with her hands on her hips, squinting at him with a resentful look on her face, guarding the door of the main room.
Mingyu knew that Su Wanyan must feel sorry for Su Chien, so he unconsciously lowered his head, his tone even softening, and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty."
In the dead of winter, not only did they take Su Chien running around recklessly, but they also didn't let him bring any clothes. He had to be self-sufficient in food and drink, since there was hardly anything to eat in the mountains during winter.
Su Wanyan grumbled inwardly for a while, but in the end she didn't say anything. She sighed, opened the door and let them in, saying, "Come in, Yu Nanqing is inside."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
After Mingyu went inside, Su Wanyan scratched her head and asked Qiuye to go to the storeroom to get silver ingots.
No, take the banknotes.
I don't know what Yu Nanqing said to Mingyu, but it took two quarters of an hour to report something that was just a few words.
When Mingyu came out of the room, Su Chien had already changed his clothes and was waiting at the door of the main room.
Su Wanyan gave Su Chien a lot of instructions, but stopped talking when she saw Mingyu come out. She then saw Su Chien and Mingyu to the door.
Su Chien and Ming Yu, two people who were going on a long trip, didn't even have any luggage.
Su Chien kept turning back, reluctantly waving goodbye to Su Wanyan as he retreated.
As she watched the figure walk further and further away until it disappeared completely, Su Wanyan's expression turned melancholy.
She estimated that Yu Nanqing's leg would be able to start rehabilitation training in no more than two or three months. Once his leg was fully healed, she would be ready to retire gracefully.
Su Chien said he would be back in a year at most, but she felt she wouldn't be able to stay until then.
She stood at the doorway, staring blankly at the horizon for a while, then suddenly lifted her skirt and rushed straight to the main courtyard.
In the main room, Yu Nanqing was sitting or lying on the bed, struggling to move her legs.
Since that stinging pain, he has tried various treatments, but all to no avail. Recently, Su Wanyan gave him acupuncture, but it seems that it no longer has the same effect as that day.
The more Yu Nanqing thought about it, the more panicked he became, and the more panicked he became, the more anxious he became.
Even though Su Wanyan told him not to overthink it, how could he not think about it when hope was so close?
"Yu Nanqing!"
The door was suddenly pushed open.
Startled, Yu Nanqing swiftly pulled the blanket over her legs.
Even though he moved quickly, Su Wanyan still saw it and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
Yu Nanqing turned her face away guiltily: "No...it's nothing."
Su Wanyan stepped forward blankly, lifted his blanket and peeked inside: "Don't hide anything bad from me, or I'll have a hard time cleaning it up later."
"No, no." Yu Nanqing's ears turned slightly red. Seeing the piece of paper in her hand, she changed the subject: "What is it?"
"Oh, it's about Su Chien. Take a look at this first."
