Before Xiao Rongyan could speak, Bai Qingyan said, "Do not refuse, having a military doctor with you gives peace of mind, both the child and I... we are waiting for your return."
Soon, Wei Zhong brought the medicine in. Xiao Rongyan took a deep look at Bai Qingyan, then picked up the bowl and drank it in one go, putting on his mask.
As he walked out of Bai Qingyan’s courtyard, he saw the Yan commanders waiting at the entrance of the neighboring courtyard.
Upon seeing Xiao Rongyan, the Yan commanders surrounded him, inquiring about his injuries.
Bai Qingyan stood inside the courtyard gate, listening to Xiao Rongyan tell those Yan commanders, "It’s nothing..."
"Prince, I heard that General Wang, who is on good terms with General Song, has already sent a message back to our Yan Capital, reporting on the matter of the Prince bringing troops to Jiangzi City without permission to aid. He claims he will persuade the Empress Dowager and His Majesty to revoke the Prince’s military command. The Empress Dowager is bound to blame the Prince once she knows of it. It’s better for the Prince to quickly write a letter that I can send back to the Capital with a fast-footed soldier!" The commander following Xiao Rongyan was extremely anxious.
The Empress Dowager is easily influenced, and now that the Prince is not in the Capital, if she is truly exploited by the malicious, then the unification of our Yan Kingdom is hopeless.
"This king understands." Xiao Rongyan acknowledged and instructed, "Dispatch the troops at once; the army will head to Gufeng immediately!"
"Yes!"
The Yan soldiers and generals left after receiving their orders.
Yue Shi approached Xiao Rongyan, looking at his master with worry and guilt, "Master..."
Xiao Rongyan raised a hand to ruffle Yue Shi’s head, "Let’s go!"
"Ninth Prince, please wait." Bai Qingyan stepped out from within the courtyard gate.
Xiao Rongyan turned and, with Yue Shi, solemnly saluted Bai Qingyan, "Your Majesty..."
She turned to take the medicine box prepared by Doctor Hong from Wei Zhong and walked up to Xiao Rongyan, "Inside this medicine box are some injury treatments prepared by Doctor Hong, very effective for battlefield wounds, both cuts and arrow wounds. I hope the Ninth Prince won’t mind taking it."
Yue Shi stepped forward to accept it on behalf of Xiao Rongyan and then stood obediently behind him.
"Let me see the Ninth Prince off..." Bai Qingyan made a gesture to Xiao Rongyan.
Xiao Rongyan nodded, walking at the forefront with Bai Qingyan.
Along the corridor, Wei Zhong and Yue Shi intentionally held back the guards of Bai Qingyan and Xiao Rongyan, not letting them get close.
"A Yan, I am not as indifferent to your feelings and our child as you said."
Bai Qingyan walked slowly, and when stepping up the stairs, Xiao Rongyan instinctively reached out to support her while she stepped up, softly replying, "Mm!"
She gently caressed her abdomen, "I only feel that the battlefield is still within my control, even if it gets out of hand, I have a way to regain control of the field."
Xiao Rongyan remained silent, following Bai Qingyan’s side.
"A Yan, you and the child are my family..." Bai Qingyan’s voice was very light, "You have always been in my heart. I admit that during the siege at Jiangzi City, I thought of everything but you, because... A Yan, I didn’t expect you to abandon the opportunity to first attack Yunjing to save me."
Xiao Rongyan halted in his stride with hands behind his back, and Bai Qingyan stopped with him.
