"Little ancestor, stop crying. If you keep crying, my grandfather will hear about it tomorrow and I will be beaten by him again. How did I offend you? If you are angry, why don't you beat me up?"

Yun Shuyue held his hand for a long time, and only gradually calmed down when she felt the warmth from his palm.

"Ancestor, what happened to you? This is the first time I've seen you cry like this. Did you have a nightmare? Or did someone do something to make you angry? Did that bastard Lu Jinnian bully you?"

"No," Yun Shuyue covered her chest and shook her head gently, "It's just that my chest suddenly hurt so much that I couldn't breathe."

"I'll ask the court doctor to come and check on you. Why do you suddenly have a pain in your chest? Sit down and relax first." Yu Zhi helped her sit down, and Yun Shuyue's hand was holding him tightly all the time.

"I'll go get the court physician. General, please stay here with my master." Chang Li turned around and called the court physician. There were only the two of them left in the yard.

Yu Zhi poured her a glass of water, "Drink some water. Do you feel any pain anywhere else? Besides your chest, do you feel any pain anywhere else?"

Yun Shuyue did not answer but asked, "You are going to lead the troops to Yingguan tomorrow, right?"

"Yes," Yu Zhi bent down, squatted at her feet, and looked up at her, "Why, you don't want me to leave?"

"I had a dream yesterday. I dreamed that you died in Yingguan and your body was hung on the wall of Yan State. I even saw clearly who died. After you died, Lu Jinnian conquered Yan State on your behalf, was named regent, broke off the engagement with me, and married someone else. You, my mother, and everyone in the Lin family are all dead..."

Yun Shuyue curled her fingertips and slowly tightened them, her red-coated nails piercing into Yu Zhi's flesh.

Yu Zhi patted the back of her hand and consoled her, "What you think about during the day you dream about at night. Grandfather, you care about me so much? You even dream about something like this?"

"I……"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine, I'll come back safely," Yu Zhi raised his hand and patted her head, but only touched the pearl hairpin, "I have followed Grandpa Lin to the battlefield so many times, how can a mere Yingguan be a problem for me? I am Grandpa Lin's most proud student, you look down on me too much."

"I trust you, but I can't guarantee that my subordinates won't resort to despicable means. Yu Zhi, please trust me..."

"Of course I believe what our ancestors said. I will be more careful. Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to me. Our ancestors have warned me. If I still get hurt, wouldn't that be a betrayal of your trust in me? Okay," Yu Zhi held her hands, "you've become an old woman by worrying about this and that."

"You look so sad and frowned," Yu Zhi smoothed her frown, "Don't frown, it doesn't look good. Smile, I've been here for so long and I've never seen you smile. Ancestor, please smile."

Yu Zhi opened his mouth wide and made a funny expression, his eyes cross-eyed, to make her happy.

"Pfft..."

"You're smiling now. You can't cry if you smile. You're still the same as when you were little, a delicate and delicate girl. You're still a little crybaby."

Yun Shuyue glared at him and was about to kick him, but Yu Zhi quickly grabbed her ankle and said, "Ancestor, if you kick me like that, I'll have to stay in bed tomorrow."

"release!"

Yu Zhi was afraid that he might make her angry by teasing her too much, so he had to let her go.

"Ancestor, if I return safely this time, can I ask for a favor from you?"

"What grace do you want? What is there that you, Major General, cannot get?"

You, Yu Zhi answered silently in his heart, but of course he couldn't say it out loud.

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I come back."

"Then take your time to think about it. Tell me when you're done. I'll grant you whatever I can."

The court doctor came over slowly and took Yun Shuyue's pulse. "Your Highness is fine. Your pulse is strong and powerful. There is nothing wrong. But Your Highness still needs to rest more and don't overwork yourself."

"I know."

"Is she really alright?" Yu Zhi asked, "But she was in so much pain that she couldn't even speak."

"Your Highness is really fine, Major General, don't worry."

Yu Zhi nodded, "Okay, Changli, when I'm away from Beijing, take good care of your master and make sure she eats on time. If she doesn't obey, tell me when I come back."

"What? You want to beat me?" Yun Shuyue asked with a raised eyebrow.

Yu Zhi laughed dryly, "How can I do that? How dare I do that?"

Changli burst out laughing.

Yu Zhi glared at her, "Laugh, laugh, laugh! Don't laugh. It's fine if you want to laugh, but why laugh so loudly? Don't you want to save face, General?"

Chang Li covered his mouth and said, "Major General, you heard wrongly. Major General, the master has not had dinner yet."

"Why don't you go and serve the meal?"

"I'll go right away." Changli ran as fast as he could, and the people in the kitchen quickly brought the meal to the table.

Yun Shuyue walked over and picked up the chopsticks. Just as she was about to eat, Lu Jinnian came in.

The smiles on Yu Zhi and Lu Jinnian's faces disappeared instantly.

"Why are you here?" Yu Zhi asked unhappily.

Lu Jinnian smiled and said, "Why can't I come? Chao'er is my fiancée. I want to ask you, what are you doing in the princess's mansion?"

"He discussed with me the tactics for attacking Yingguan."

"Oh, I haven't eaten yet. Can I join you?" Lu Jinnian sat down by himself.

"Don't you have any food in the Regent's Palace? Do you need to run to the Princess's Palace to eat?" Yu Zhi was immediately unhappy.

"Changli, go get two more sets of bowls and chopsticks." Yun Shuyue ordered.

Yu Zhi glared at Lu Jinnian and sat down on the left side of Yun Shuyue. He filled a bowl of soup, picked out the chopped green onions floating on top, and brought it to her, "Drink some fish soup to replenish your body."

Lu Jinnian was not to be outdone and put some shrimp into her bowl, "Eat some shrimp."

Yu Zhi sneered, picked up the shrimp, peeled the shrimp shell, dipped it in the soup, and put the shrimp into Yun Shuyue's bowl, "Eat shrimp."

"Ah."

"You put it in her bowl without even peeling it. Don't you know she hates trouble and never peels it herself? You're her fiancé, and you don't even know about it."

"Yu Zhi, stop stirring up trouble. How could I not know her preferences?"

"Oh, really?" Yu Zhi put down his chopsticks. "Then tell me what she likes and dislikes. You didn't say it directly, so you must not like her. Let me tell you, her favorite tea is Biluochun, her favorite cake is the lotus cake made by the imperial concubine, and her favorite soup is old duck soup, um..."

Yun Shuyue stuffed a crab roe bun into his mouth and said, "Be quiet and eat. If you keep talking, get out."

Yu Zhi chewed the crab roe bun and smiled until his eyes curved into crescents. His ancestors picked up the crab roe bun for him and fed it into his mouth. The bun was even more fragrant~

Lu Jinnian was so angry that his lungs ached.

Yun Shuyue ate quietly. After dinner, she asked Yu Zhi to go to the study.

"Chao'er..." Lu Jinnian called her and was about to say something when Yun Shuyue interrupted him.

"The war is urgent. We haven't discussed countermeasures yet. It's already late. You go back to the palace first. I will come to you tomorrow."

Lu Jinnian clenched his fists, still smiling, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Yu Zhi rolled his eyes and followed Yun Shuyue to the study.

Yun Shuyue entered the study and slammed the door shut the moment he entered.

"Ancestor, um..."

Yun Shuyue covered his mouth and signaled him to be quiet. The two were very close to each other. Yu Zhi could smell her scent. He couldn't tell what it was, but it smelled good.

Yu Zhi's face slowly turned red...
