Madam General, please run slower.

Chapter 43 Be Gentle and Don't Hit Me in the Face

While Li and Tanghulu were chatting for a while, Yu Xun had already applied medicine to her and bandaged her wound beautifully.

"The young general's bandaging technique is quite skilled."

Yu Xun ignored her and treated his wounds before saying, "If you had told me earlier that you would go crazy if you didn't hit anyone, I wouldn't have dodged."

"Then next time I want to beat you up, will you just stand there and let me beat you?" Li was stunned by his words and asked back with a chuckle.

"Well, then be gentle and don't hit him in the face." Hitting him is better than her pounding the wall like crazy. He has been able to take beatings since he was a child.

Li did not agree, and instead talked about leaving the palace, "Do you remember what the general promised me last night?"

"Don't worry. The emperor has been troubled by the Jiangnan pirates recently. The task of suppressing them will most likely fall on my shoulders. I will arrange your identity, and then you can disguise yourself as a soldier and blend into the team to leave the city together."

"General, aren't you afraid that the emperor will blame you for doing this?" They played the role of a loving couple in front of Emperor Qu. With Emperor Qu's character, if Yu Xun sent troops, she would definitely be asked to enter the palace. It would be better to say that she was a hostage than to say that she was protected.

"The prince has been unruly these days. The capital will soon be in chaos. The emperor can't take care of all that." Yu Xun glanced at the girl in front of him, feeling inexplicably guilty.

His purpose of acting like a loving couple with her in public was to make Emperor Qu feel at ease with him. Originally, he had intended to let her stay in the capital for the military expedition, so that Emperor Qu would pay less attention to him and it would be much more convenient for him to act outside.

But after learning about the prince's private actions in the past few days, Yu Xun hesitated. It cannot be denied that he did soften his heart towards her. The fight for the throne has always been cruel. Thinking of this little fool having to witness his father and brother killing each other, he felt a little distressed.

It was obvious that he was always pissed off by this person when he was with her, and his intuition told him that this person was dangerous and he needed to be wary of her, but he still shamelessly felt sorry for her. Yu Xun felt that he was a little sick.

"Okay, I'll go south with the army then." She was also going to the south, and it would be much more convenient for her to get things done with Yu Xun. It must be said that Yu Xun was indeed a handy partner.

"Okay, but I have a request." Yu Xun glanced at Wei Shiliu who was guarding the yard. Although he looked at him with disdain, he still said, "When you act alone, you must bring Wei Shiliu with you."

"Young General, are you going to monitor me?" Li raised one eyebrow slightly, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"Yes." Yu Xun admitted it generously. He didn't even know what faction this person belonged to, so how could he let her run around?

"Young General, aren't you afraid that I might kidnap your little secret guard?"

Yu Xun was silent. He had indeed thought about this possibility, but it was one thing for him to guess it and another for her to say it. Anyway, he found this sentence very awkward. She always added a small word when she called someone.

Guessing that Yu Xun had a constipated look on his face, Li laughed especially happily. Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he still felt particularly relaxed.

After seeing Li laugh, Yu Xun became even more annoyed, "Bring Wei Wu with you as well."

It doesn't matter if you are affected. No matter how many people you bring, you still have to get rid of them when you are doing your job.

"What did the prince say just now? 'Respect and obedience are the greatest etiquette for women.' How can I not listen to the general's request?"

Yu Xun: I believe your lies

"Don't you want to ask me why I'm going south?" Li rubbed her hands and reached for the teacup on the table. She was thirsty after talking for so long.

Yu Xun directly handed her the tea he had just poured, "Will you tell me if I ask you?"

"will not."

"Then why am I asking?"

"The general speaks in a very vulgar way."

The two of them kept arguing with each other, as if last night's experience had brought about a lot of changes in both of them, at least that was what Yu Xun thought.

^-^-^-^-^

Today, everyone in the palace knew that General Yu rushed into the palace just to coax his wife back to the general's mansion. Everyone was sighing that the little princess had married a good husband.

In the carriage, Li took off the white silk blindfold.

Yu Xun stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, looking at the gray and somewhat dazed pupils with some curiosity. It was the first time he saw bleeding eyes recover so quickly.

When Yu Xundi asked Li for countless times if he felt uncomfortable, Li finally couldn't help but said, "We are just partners, General Yu, there is no need to be like this."

Yu Xun choked and looked out the window uncomfortably, and returned to his usual infuriating tone, "I'm just afraid that if you die, no one will be able to deal with the emperor for me."

"Don't worry, you won't die for a while." Li leaned against the car with his eyes narrowed, refusing to chat with him.

Yu Xun sensed Li's tiredness and stopped talking, letting her take a nap in peace.

It was not until the carriage stopped at the gate of the general's mansion and Yu Xun was hesitating whether to wake her up that Li spoke, "Are we there?"

"Well, I'll carry you down."

"No need." Li avoided the hand that Yu Xun extended, "There's no need to act in the mansion."

"There are many spies in the palace, and there might be someone belonging to your Majesty." Yu Xun said seriously.

Li looked at him calmly, "Who are you trying to fool? Who can hide in your group of secret guards?"

Li had already figured out everything about the general's mansion and even checked the servants. It can only be said that the emperor had reason to be on guard against him. Do you dare to believe that the servants who sweep the toilet in the general's mansion might be secret guards with martial arts skills?

Yu Xun was silent for a moment, "I haven't entered the mansion yet, the show still needs to be performed."

Li thought about it and agreed with him, "Forget about holding me, just support me."

Yu Xun had no choice but to help her get off the carriage. As soon as he entered the mansion, he was thrown away.

Looking at the receding figure, Yu Xun felt very unhappy. He had always been the one to look down on others, but no one had ever dared to look down on him like this.

As soon as Li returned home, she went straight to the big bed and didn't even need to have dinner. Chunmei had no choice but to carry the basin of water to wash the princess who was paralyzed on the bed.

The result of not having dinner was that Li was woken up by the delicious smell early in the morning.

Li washed up casually, put on a robe and pushed the door open to go out. His eyes were still a little blurry, but it no longer affected his vision.

In the courtyard, Yu Xun was reading a military book leisurely, with plates of exquisite meat in front of him.

"Are you awake? Come over and eat with us." Yu Xun glanced at her lightly. She woke up so quickly. It was not in vain that he had asked the secret guard to fan the room for half a day.

"No reward without merit. What's the matter?" Li pulled his robe closer and forced his eyes away from the table of delicious food. Did he eat such greasy food so early in the morning?

Yu Xun threw the book to the secret guard beside him and explained, "Didn't I promise you when I came back home that I would take you to Fu Man Lou to eat meat after the performance? These are the specialties of Fu Man Lou. I just want to ask if you want to eat them."

"Eat!" Any hesitation would be disrespectful to the food.

Li actually didn't take the agreement seriously. After all, she was still playing the fool at that time.

Li picked up a large piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. The fresh and fragrant taste made her eyes brighten up a little, and her hands picked up the meat so fast that afterimages were left.

Yu Xun was stunned for a moment, and in order to have a full meal he joined the crowd scrambling for food. Meat became the staple food for both of them, and the rice in his hands became a "side dish".
