“That prince consort is a complete idiot; he probably can’t even beat a chicken. Going to the battlefield is just suicide. I think you’re about to give birth, so why don’t I take you to the battlefield and replace the prince consort?”
I'm so glad Li Zhaole is here. I'm going to give her a thumbs up.
I was about to step forward when Lin Chao stopped me: "Princess, Madam is currently pregnant and it's inconvenient for her to travel. The journey has been arduous and exhausting. If anything happens to her, none of us can bear the responsibility."
"What does it matter? Just let Brother Yuancheng and her have another one."
I wanted to curse when I heard that. I was just praising you, and now you're acting like a viper. You're such a spoiled brat.
"I never imagined that after only a few months away, my sister Zhaole would be so eager for my wife and me to have another child."
I get nervous when I hear that sound; could it be a hallucination?
It wasn't until I saw Xie Yuancheng appear, dressed in black robes and holding the Shadow-Recording Black Iron Sword, that I believed it was real.
"You, how did you get back? Where is my prince consort?"
Xie Yuancheng was a bit darker than before, and his hands were wrapped in white bandages. When he walked in, I forgot to help him up.
"The prince consort is brave. He risked his life to save others, which allowed me to return and reunite with my wife."
"Brother Yuancheng, the battle is almost over. When will the Prince Consort return to the capital?"
Xie Yuancheng helped me up; his hands were unusually cold. I held back my tears and leaned directly into his arms. The fragrance was unchanged; he had truly returned.
"Since Sister Zhaole is so interested, why don't you go back to the capital and ask General Li? After we parted, he went straight back to the capital."
Li Zhaole ran off without even saying goodbye.
"Ying'er, it's too cold outside, let's go inside."
I touched something wet, and I hurriedly opened his clothes, but he pressed me down: "Ying'er, it's still daylight, and you're pregnant. You can't do anything reckless."
My face turned red as I looked at the blood on my fingertip: "You, you're injured. Let me see."
Despite his thinness, Xie Yuancheng was able to lift me up, and I felt uneasy leaning against him.
As soon as he entered the room, Bizhu and some maids helped him change his clothes. Fortunately, there was always hot water in the mansion, and everyone quickly bathed him. I saw that the clothes he took off were black, and I could see some bloodstains on them.
"Yuancheng, you're injured."
"It's okay, none of this matters."
Xie Yuancheng took my hand and said, "Go lie down on the bed first, I'll be there in a bit."
I noticed some scars on his back and chest, and when I tried to touch them, he grabbed my hand and said, "Go quickly, don't make me worry."
When I turned around, I was wiping away my tears with a handkerchief. Luckily, he came back.
After Xie Yuancheng changed his clothes, he asked Lin Chao to put some bottles and jars on the table. Lin Chao applied the medicine to him, and I was about to go down to check when he glared at me.
Now I could see clearly that his body was covered with wounds of all sizes, and the more I looked, the more horrified I became. His once smooth, fair skin was now covered with many hideous and unsightly scars.
After Lin Chao left, I wiped the sweat from his hands.
"Does it hurt a lot?"
"No, seeing you makes the pain go away."
I was already very careful; the area around my wrist was the most heavily bandaged, with several layers of gauze. Hearing his inappropriate remarks, I couldn't even laugh anymore.
"Don't worry, these are just superficial injuries, they'll be fine in a few days."
"Don't believe me!" I leaned closer and waited for him to lie down before giving him a massage.
“Ying’er is unhappy. She hasn’t smiled since she came back.”
"No, I didn't."
