"Mother, from now on, let me take good care of you. I'm all grown up now."
It's time to shoulder the responsibility of taking care of my younger siblings.
Chang Le grabbed Guan Zhiyue's hand, her voice carrying a hint of pleading!
Guan Zhiyue nodded and then said, "Okay, what's wrong with that?"
"However, our Chang Le is a young woman now, and it's time for her to think about getting married and having children."
Does Chang Le have a man she likes? She can talk to the Empress Dowager about it.
"Your mother has a keen eye for you and will definitely not let you suffer any losses, Chang Le."
Li Lexin smiled. She later learned that although she wasn't the Emperor and Empress's biological daughter,
But they gave her all the honors of her own children, and bestowed upon her unparalleled glory.
She is the eldest princess of the royal family. Her only mother is the Empress, and she will repay the kindness of her mother in raising her.
Unfortunately, all her relatives are dead, and she has no memory of them at all.
Throughout her entire life, there was only Guan Zhiyue's presence, so when Guan Zhiyue mentioned it to her,
She was quite surprised when she learned that Guan Zhiyue was not her biological daughter, and for a period of time she was afraid to face her.
She feared that this gentle woman would never look at her again, never love her again.
But later, she remained the same as always!
While Li Lexin was lost in thought, she heard Guan Zhiyue say this, and immediately realized what she had said, lowering her head shyly.
"Mother, you always tease me."
"What Mother said is the truth, there's no joking involved, and you bunch of rascals too,"
When you reach marriageable age, just openly tell your mother.
Don't do anything you'll regret, okay?
The princes blushed, but still obediently replied in unison, "Yes, we will obey the Empress Dowager's decree."
Guan Zhiyue was satisfied and then said, "That's more like it, that's good."
"Alright, since that's the case, let's eat quickly, or the food will get cold."
So the family happily began their meal. Guan Zhiyue noticed that they were still one child short of a seat.
She couldn't help but feel melancholy. What was the Crown Prince doing now?
Is he alright?
However, this applies to the border county.
Guantao County.
This is the place where Rosamund Kwan once started an orchard, and it's also a place by the sea.
"Help!"
"Help! Someone come quick!"
Is anyone there?
"The Crown Prince is injured."
A guard, carrying the prince on his back, walked on the beach back to the camp. He was walking with difficulty, and his body was even trembling.
His voice was hoarse!
After a long while, the sea patrol guards came over and saw the two people and their group rushing towards them.
"Shunzi, what's wrong with you guys?"
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please!"
The one called Shunzi gestured towards the person on his back, and then...
His body was completely red; the fever was quite frightening.
"Your Highness is injured?"
"Quickly, you guys carry him back right away."
The junior officer in charge quickly ordered his men to carry the two men away and run towards the camp.
His Highness the Crown Prince led a troop of men out to sea to hunt down pirates.
Piracy is rampant near Guantao County now, especially after the severe drought, even though there is still water in the sea.
However, the sea level has also dropped significantly, so naturally it can no longer support so many pirates.
Especially for those who made a living as pirates, during a severe drought, when it didn't rain...
The water in the sea also has a salty taste.

"Where's the medic? Where's the medic?!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! It's extremely urgent! Bring the person here immediately!"
Li Jingyu was placed on the bed, and it was clear that he had multiple wounds on his body.
The deepest wound was in the abdomen; the cut went right up to the bone.
The skin was so soaked in seawater that the flesh had turned white.
The bloody, white cut was so gruesome that even the military medics felt nauseous upon seeing it!
"How could the Crown Prince be so badly injured?"
The military doctor asked questions while treating the wound.
The soldier named Shunzi, who had been holding on, eventually couldn't hold on any longer.
Upon seeing the Crown Prince safely treated by the military doctor, he finally collapsed, unable to hold on any longer.
"Oh dear, this one has fallen down too. Go and call all the army doctors."
The soldiers at the gate have left, and so has this elderly military doctor.
She skillfully untangled the catgut in her hands and then stripped the prince of his clothes.
After examining him thoroughly from head to toe and finding only these few wounds,
They also had someone bring him medicine to wash him, and even gave Li Jingyu a sip of the "miracle water" that Guan Zhiyue had given him before.
The rest was diluted in water and used to clean his wounds.
"Alright, all of you, get out! I need to stitch up the prince. The air isn't good here."
"It will cause wound infection," the military doctor said.
The generals were somewhat uneasy, but in the end they left, looking back every few steps.
The military doctor heated the needle over a fire until it was warm enough, then applied anesthetic to Li Jingyu before stitching it up piece by piece.
Especially the abdominal area, the military doctor really had to hold back his nausea as he stitched up Li Jingyu.
It was really terrifying; hopefully, they can save the person!
This is their future crown prince!
The old military doctor silently recited in his heart, these things were all taken by the Empress when she left.
It was specifically reserved for these military doctors, so that they could study it extensively in their spare time.
He found it in those medical books.
They were initially quite surprised by the way the wound was stitched up.
I can hardly believe they were experimenting on livestock.
Later, they gradually began experimenting on humans, and all of these experiments were eventually successful.
That's why he was able to calmly stitch up the prince's wound; otherwise...
Seeing such severe injuries, their first thought would definitely be that he's not going to make it, and that we should start preparing for his funeral!
However, to be fair, the Crown Prince was seriously injured this time!
"Old Li, is the Crown Prince in danger this time?"
The two were about the same age, but the military doctor known as Old Li had the most hands-on experience and had done the most research.
The military doctor, Li, said, "The Crown Prince's life hangs by a thread! I have now stitched up the wound."
But whether he can pull through depends on His Highness the Crown Prince's own fate. If he doesn't make it through tonight, then...
"Pah, pah, pah! What are you saying? Our Crown Prince can certainly hear me!"
"It definitely can."
"Yes, yes, I deserve to be hit, I deserve to be hit, I misspoke and talked nonsense."
So the two of them tidied up the prince, put him back in bed, and then went to brew medicine for Li Jingyu, hoping that he would not have a fever tonight.
Even if they overcome this hurdle, the Crown Prince will still be alright...
