As Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu walked out of the main hall, Gao Cen came forward to greet them, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness and Your Highness."
"General Gao, you've worked hard," Xiao Yanchu nodded and said.
"Your Highness is too kind. This trip was not too arduous. The journey here was very smooth. Today's battle was over before the brothers even had a chance to fully unleash their full power."
“Hu Qing.” Xiao Yanchu looked at Hu Qing standing to the side.
Hu Qing understood and took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket and handed them to Gao Cen.
"General Gao, take this money and use it to reward the brothers," Xiao Yanchu said.
Gao Cen didn't stand on ceremony. As a general, he naturally wanted to get more benefits for his subordinates.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
“General Gao, after a while, I will have someone send some medicine to the army for treating injuries. If you need any medicinal herbs later, please just let me know, and I will prepare them for you.” Su Ruojin added.
Su Ruojin was in Xiaoyue, and she didn't have much medicine left. Gao Cen came to Xiaoyue today, and although it was on Xiao Yanchu's orders, it was still a help to Yuan Hong.
Although she is a princess, she is also Yuan Hong's sister, and she still has to repay this favor.
Gao Cen's eyes lit up when he heard this. The prince was giving him silver to improve his brothers' living conditions, while the princess was giving him medicine, which could save lives in critical moments.
Everyone knows that the princess is a highly skilled physician, and the medicine she provides is naturally much better than ordinary medicine.
"On behalf of my brothers, I thank Your Highness."
"Your Highness, should I send someone to help us chase after Empress Wu and the Imperial Advisor?" Gao Cen had already learned that Empress Wu and the Imperial Advisor had run away.
"No need, someone has already gone."
"Yes," Gao Cen replied.
He also knew Xiao Yanchu's concerns. After all, this was Xiaoyue Kingdom's internal affair, and they were people of Da Chu, so it was indeed not appropriate to interfere too much.
Only Su Ruojin guessed why Xiao Yanchu didn't let Gao Cen help him chase after them.
It's not that Gao Cen thought it was wrong to interfere in Xiaoyue's internal affairs; now that Emperor Yuan Hong is the ruler of Xiaoyue, no one will care about this issue.
It turned out that someone did indeed go after them, not the guards sent by Duke Xian.
This man is no less capable than Gao Cen; having him on the case is sufficient.
Back at the manor, Su Ruojin instructed Yanluo to have Wei Bainian take the doctors from the clinic to the Imperial Hospital to help. There were simply too many injured people today, and the Imperial Hospital had a limited number of doctors and was overwhelmed.
Having arranged everything, Su Ruojin had no energy left to say anything more to Xiao Yanchu, so she went straight back to her room, collapsed into bed, and fell asleep.
He slept until the next day, and during that time Xiao Yanchu had food prepared for him, but he didn't need to use it.
The next day, the sky was rather dark, and it looked like it was going to rain.
As soon as Su Ruojin opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Yanchu looking at her tenderly, "Awake?"
"Mmm." Su Ruojin's voice was a soft murmur, as if she had just woken up, which made Xiao Yanchu unable to resist pulling her into his arms and gently kissing her forehead. "It's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"What time is it?" Su Ruojin snuggled closer to Xiao Yanchu, enjoying the moment of tenderness.
“It’s time,” Xiao Yanchu said.
Su Ruojin never expected that she had slept for so long, more than six hours.
Pregnancy really does make you weaker.
She had taken some medication to prevent miscarriage when she returned yesterday, and she gently touched her wrist.
Yes, thankfully, the child is doing well.
"I'm not going to sleep anymore, my back is aching from sleeping too long. Tao Zhengyu should be here soon."
"Alright, get up and eat something. It's not good to be hungry for too long." Xiao Yanchu gently helped Su Ruojin up and took her clothes to help her get dressed.
Su Ruojin took the opportunity to enjoy Xiao Yanchu's service and laughed, "If outsiders knew that the dignified Regent was actually helping me get dressed, I'm afraid I would be drowned in spittle."
No matter what, this is a world where male superiority and female inferiority are the mainstream values. If word gets out that a prince is serving a princess while she gets dressed, she, as the princess, will surely attract some criticism.
"I'm willing, who dares to say anything? When we return to Great Chu, I will personally serve A-Jin her bath." Xiao Yanchu's voice was low and deep, and his eyes were full of affection as he looked at Su Ruojin.
Su Ruojin paused, her face instantly flushing red.
