Take your medicine, and your body will feel better

As Sun Jinzi slept soundly, she slightly opened her eyes, and it was as if she had seen Jin Chupei.

”Your Highness, Your Highness …” Is that you? I'm not... Dream on? ” Could it be that she was too drowsy to recognize anyone?

”I'm right here. You're not dreaming.” Jin Chupei rushed forward and hugged the curled up Sun Jinzi.

She was lying alone on the bed. Her figure was petite and petite, making people's hearts ache for her when they looked at her.

”Zi Er.”

Jin Chupei couldn't say anything, he only wanted to gently call her name.

”How are you feeling?”

She was growing colder and colder, and his heart was covered with a layer of gray sweat, as if he could no longer see the path that lay between them.

He still remembered how bright and brilliant their road had been in the past.

”Your Highness, don't worry, I'm fine. I've already taken the medicine and my body is much better.”

She wasn't able to concoct such a good medicine like Ji Zi, but she had managed to concoct a few ingredients and forced herself to drink them. Although she couldn't completely suppress the spread of the cold poison, it was still somewhat useful.

She didn't feel as bad now as she did before.

At that time, when she was standing on the ground, she felt as if her feet were filled with lead, and then she felt as if her body was extremely light, as if her body was as light as a swallow.

At this moment, her body had returned to normal without any special feelings.

”We're leaving immediately.”

Jin Chupei didn't want to waste another moment.

”Alright.” Sun Jinzi had no way to refuse. Jin Chupei held her hand with all his might. She was in a bit of pain, but he didn't want to shout out loud.

She could not bear it, nor could she bear to part with it.

When the sun rose up, Jin Chupei led Sun Jinzi and forced the Emperor of the East Chu's Sima Guang Zu along.

Soon, they arrived at the encirclement city guarded by Sima Yuzhu.

Right now, the entire city was being surrounded.

Sima Yuzhu's face was filled with panic. She wore silver armor and stood at the bottom of the tall city gate tower.

This was her royal father, it was not wrong.

Because she had already received the news that her royal father had been captured, to the point where she couldn't make heads or tails of it.

At that time, she had already guessed that with the strength of the experts by royal father's side, those who could bring her to life at their side must be Jin Chupei's doing. Thus, she immediately sent a message to the spies that she had left behind at Da Jin, asking them to capture Gen. Lu Bai Yang's family members temporarily, and threaten him to do as they said.

This was why the scene from the wheat city had appeared.

Only, now that Sima Yuzhu saw this kind of posture, she knew very clearly that their plan had failed. They failed so completely, and they were also caught off guard.

”Your Highness, now... ”What should we do?” Ouyang Chengde's right hand had already been cut off, and he only had one arm left. That big and tall man's face was currently completely pale.

Sima Yuzhu wanted to throw a tantrum, but when she thought about how this man had chopped off his arm in order to save her, she couldn't help but feel stifled in her heart.

She wanted to blame him for not listening to her words back then, but she was still unable to say it out loud.

After all, she wasn't one of those famous girls in Easternum. She would only live her life by her husband's side all day long.

Her main venue was the battlefield, not the boudoir, the attic, the pavilion.

She needed this glory on the battlefield, and at the same time, she had always believed that she had the strength to withstand it.

”Your Highness …” Ouyang Chengde did not know why, but he looked at the bottom of the city gate tower and warned her a few times.

”Shut up. This Princess can also see what you can see. There's no need for you to remind us.”

Sima Yuzhu was furious. She, who had been continuously suppressing herself all this while, was now unable to hold herself back any longer.

When she saw Ouyang Chengde, she would think of that tragic war. Their people, whether they died or were burnt and chopped, was the most miserable battle she had ever seen since the start of the war, and this battle was instigated by Ouyang Chengde.

He did not listen to her advice.

”Your Highness, end knows his wrongs about that matter. It's just that right now, the Emperor is still below.” Should he make a decision?

Ouyang Chengde reminded Sima Yuzhu, unwilling to give up.

He knew that if he returned to the capital, he would definitely be punished for dereliction of duty.

Because of his reckless actions, he had caused the death of so many soldiers. He also felt somewhat guilty.

However, right now, their Easternum's Emperor was right under the city. Even if they couldn't save him, they couldn't do anything to make him cower in fear.

Of course, it would be best if the Emperor could be saved. This way, when the Emperor was happy, he would be able to re-evaluate his crimes and lighten his punishment.

”Speak less, I know what I'm doing.”

Sima Yuzhu frowned in displeasure.

Right now, she had the authority to command the Easternum's army. She had the final say.

”Yes, Your Highness.” Ouyang Chengde wanted to say something more, but he was stopped by a glare from Sima Yuzhu.
