âBut he doesnât like Xinâ er; we canât force him.
âAt that time, if you anger him, forget about being promoted; itâs already good enough that you donât drop your rank.â
âThis is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It would be a pity to miss it.
âHow about this? You buy some local souvenirs later and let Xinâ er dress up properly. Then, you and she will go and send him off.
âSee how he would react.
âBesides, he is unfamiliar with this place. Ask our son to come back from the academy for two days and accompany him.â
âGot it.â
Zhou Ying waited until they fell asleep before she retreated and looked for Gu Chengrui.
He was ready to enter the interspace, sitting down on a chair obediently.
âYour peach blossoms have blossomed. You must be overjoyed,â she teased as she pulled him into her space.
âIf you continue spouting nonsense, Iâll get angry.â Gu Chengrui said with a fierce face.
âYou have to be careful. I donât think the couple has given up.â
âI know. Oh, right. Is Zhou Huaiyu awake?â
âHeâs awake, but he canât move yet.â Zhou Ying told him about the situation at the border. âBy the way, the Emperor is coming along with the expedition. He set off early this morning.â
âGot it. It wonât be easy for others to deal with King Hui.â Gu Chengrui nodded slowly.
âKeep an eye on Wanning and her son. Donât let them get bullied,â he reminded her worriedly.
âI will.â Zhou Ying nodded.
Afterwards, Gu Chengrui asked about the situation at home and at the medical centers. After knowing that everything was fine, the two of them got busy.
After they were done, the two of them ate a meal and took a shower together before going back to their rooms to sleep.
With Zhou Yingâs solemn reminder, Gu Chengrui escaped a trap that night. However, it was not Miss Xinâerâs but a servant girl in the courier station.
In order to put an end to the magistrateâs thoughts, Gu Chengrui sent the servant girl to the Red Chamber as an official slave.
That merciless look really scared Magistrate Liu.
On the other end, Zhou Ying kept an eye on the palace whenever she was free.
She saw that Gu Wanning had already perked up and was handling her affairs in an orderly manner.
As for the two children, they played well with the nanny and the Grand Empress Dowager, so Zhou Ying was relieved.
Three days later, Zhou Ying had just pulled Gu Chengrui into her interspace when he hugged her.
Zhou Ying was stunned for a moment. She hugged his waist and asked, âWhatâs wrong? Did something happen?â
âItâs nothing. I thought I could go back and accompany you and Guoguo, but I just received a verbal order from the Emperor today. He said that after I finish my work, Iâll immediately rush to the border to be a military doctor and teach the military doctors at the border how to suture.â
âThatâs good. This can reduce some losses. If thereâs anything, we can still contact each other through this interspace.â
âThatâs the only way. Iâll have to trouble you at home.â
âItâs fine as long as youâre well. Let me know when youâre leaving. Iâll prepare some medicine, needles, and thread for you.â
âAlright, Iâll go to the mountain to pick some urgently needed medicinal herbs.â After Gu Chengrui said that, he brought a basket and went up the mountain.
Zhou Ying looked at the border again, but the city gate remained closed.
Although the Northern Continent continued challenging them, their arrogance had subsided quite a bit.
King Hui and the Prince of the Northern Continent were obviously getting impatient. They had already sent many people to cross the mountain range to investigate the situation.
Zhou Ying saw that the mountain pass was not only guarded, but there were also many soldiers, so she ignored them.
As for the Emperor and the others, they were already halfway there, and the number of soldiers had clearly increased by quite a bit. It was likely that they were taken from the various provinces along the way.
After making sure that Northern Pass was fine, she began to investigate the situation on the entire continent.
She did not expect the western region of Xixia to experience a drought again. However, there was plenty of water reserve at the moment, so there was no panic..
