How will they cope then?
Yu Nanqing's heart pounded; she really couldn't hide anything from her.
I didn't tell her about the plans because I didn't want her to worry.
But ultimately, it was because he didn't do it perfectly enough, he didn't do it well enough.
Yu Nanqing pursed his lips, unsure of what to say. He was the one who was supposed to explain to Su Wanyan, but in the end, he said nothing.
Su Wanyan knew him too well; she knew he wanted to do something without him even having to say a word.
Unconsciously, Yu Nanqing tightened his embrace around the little girl, inhaling the faint fragrance from her hair, which cleansed his soul.
"I heard that the East China Sea Navy contracted an illness during the battle, and I suspect that it must have been Yan'er's doing..."
When he learned that Su Wanyan had appeared on Chengdao Island, he concluded that she had not come to find him.
The Su Wanyan he knew was never an impulsive or hot-headed person; she was excessively calm, even to the point that he was somewhat jealous.
He desperately wanted to be number one in Su Wanyan's heart.
But at the same time, he was also glad that Su Wanyan was such a smart person. Otherwise, how could she have protected herself in such a dangerous situation?
"Mm." Su Wanyan did not deny it.
Yu Nanqing pursed his thin lips and gently stroked her back, one stroke at a time.
The room was silent.
Su Wanyan was already sleepy, and with Yu Nanqing's gentle coaxing, she quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Once the sound of even breathing could be heard, Yu Nanqing slowly closed her eyes.
The next day, early in the morning.
Normally, Su Wanyan would get up early and go to the main room to take care of the injured, but today, there was no movement from the room for a long time.
Inside the room, Su Wanyan was already awake. The two of them were still in the same position they had been embracing the night before. Yu Nanqing's magnified face was close at hand, with his high and straight nose, long eyes, and the faint smell of blood mixed with soap on his body.
Only then did Su Wanyan realize that what happened last night was not a dream.
She shifted her body, trying to find a more comfortable position, only to find that half of her body was numb.
Yu Nanqing's arm was still wrapped around her waist. She gently moved his hand away, looked up, and found that Yu Nanqing was sleeping soundly. Even though she moved around like this, he didn't wake up.
He must have been extremely tired these past few days. Perhaps he hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days, or even more than ten days in a row.
Su Wanyan gently touched his face with her small hand, and even though he was asleep, she could see the obvious dark circles under his eyes.
Just then, Shinoda's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Hey, why are you here so early today?"
Su Wanyan frowned slightly, then heard Su Chien whisper, "What are you doing here?"
When Yu Nanqing returned last night, Su Chien had already noticed it. Not only Su Chien noticed it, but Mingyu, who had been following Su Wanyan, also knew it.
So that no one would disturb Su Wanyan and Yu Nanqing's rest, Su Chien stood guard at the door early this morning.
Xiao Daya was unaware of this. Usually, Su Wanyan would have already arrived at the main room by this time, but she hadn't woken up yet today. Since Xiao Daya couldn't find Su Wanyan, she came looking for her.
"Where is Madam Yu? Why hasn't Madam Yu woken up yet?" he asked curiously, peering into the room through the door.
Su Chien frowned and pulled her aside, saying, "Keep your voice down, don't disturb your sister's rest!"
Xiao Daya cried out in pain as her hand was gripped: "Let go!"
Su Chien let go of her as if he wanted to touch her.
Su Chien glanced at the door and, seeing no movement inside, felt somewhat relieved.
"Madam Yu usually wakes up very early, but she got up late today. Aren't you worried that something might have happened?"
"With me here, what could possibly happen? Don't cause trouble, go away."
Xiao Daya was furious; she had always felt that Su Chien was targeting her.
And Su Chien was indeed deliberately targeting him.
Seeing that Xiao Daya had just turned around and taken two steps, she turned back and said, "How about I go in and take a look for you?"
It's inconvenient for Su Chien to be a man, but she is a woman.
"I've already said that Madam Yu can't be without people to serve her. What if something really happens to her and you wouldn't even know?"
"Stop your nonsense! I told you to leave, so leave!" Su Chien frowned, his tone already showing impatience.
Just then, the door creaked open from the inside, and Su Wanyan, who had changed her clothes, slowly asked, "What's all this noise so early in the morning?"
"Mrs. Yu, you're awake?" Xiao Daya's eyes brightened slightly as she ran forward and smiled, "You woke up late today, and I was worried that something might have happened to you inside."
Xiao Daya's voice was quite loud, and Su Wanyan felt a little annoyed: "I said it was you who was making a fuss. If you're not busy, then go back."
Upon hearing this, Shinoda immediately fell silent.
Mrs. Yu doesn't seem to be in a good mood today.
“Sister.” Su Chi’en’s voice was slow and soft.
Su Wanyan made a "shh" gesture, and Su Chien immediately understood.
This left Shinoda Ya, who was standing to the side, completely bewildered.
Su Wanyan ignored it and went straight to the governor's mansion kitchen.
There was a cook from the army here, who was startled when he saw Su Wanyan arrive.
Normally Mingyu would come to serve the meals, but today Su Wanyan came in person. Fortunately, Su Wanyan didn't stay long. She took some coarse grains, a small pot of porridge, and asked the kitchen to make two bowls of noodles before leaving.
This action made Shinoda even more curious.
Before she could even hand the medicine to the soldiers, she hurriedly followed behind Su Wanyan, who then carried the food into the bedroom.
She saw that Su Chien was still standing outside, and after a short while, Mingyu appeared at the door.
"What are you doing sneaking around here?" Xiao Daya was being watched by people, but they usually only monitored her and wouldn't interfere unless she caused any trouble.
The speaker at this moment is a soldier who has recovered and is packing his things to return to the barracks.
Xiao Daya hurriedly asked, "Why is Madam Yu acting so strangely today? Is there someone hiding in that room?"
Upon hearing this, the soldier immediately frowned.
Not only here, but also in the army, Su Wanyan has a high reputation among them, not only because she married Yu Nanqing and became the Princess Consort of Gong, but also because she was willing to follow Yu Nanqing to the battlefield, a place of smoke and fire.
Furthermore, she had no airs of a princess and was willing to serve in the army, treating their illnesses and injuries.
Moreover, since the expedition to the East China Sea, there has been a rumor in the army that Su Wanyan cured Yu Nanqing's chronic illness left over from the Battle of Xiaoshui.
Therefore, Xiao Daya's inquiries about Su Wanyan made the soldier feel repulsed.
He acknowledged that Xiao Daya had been very dedicated to taking care of them, but that didn't mean she could freely inquire about their master.
