Xue Ji turned over and muttered, "No, no, I don't want to go today."

How could he go to the martial arts training ground so early in the morning in such a cold winter? As expected, Xue Ji would skip class again today.

On the martial arts training ground.

Wu Yanhe stood with her hands behind her back near the shooting range and waited for half an hour but no one came. She then went to find her other master and asked him, only to find out.

The princess of the Huiran tribe is not only not good at riding and shooting, but also doesn't like to go to class!

Taking a deep breath, Fang walked towards the east.

Inside the big tent, Xue Ji put on her clothes, had her meal, and then fell asleep on the bed.

Gu Le was a little anxious and said, "Princess, otherwise I will ask for leave and say that the princess is not feeling well today and cannot go to the martial arts training ground."

She didn't know how many times she had used the phrase "feeling unwell". Xue Ji waved her hand casually, "Whatever you want."

Gu Le responded and retreated. Just as he was about to go out to the martial arts training ground to report the situation, as soon as he opened the door curtain, he saw a man standing outside the big tent.

"I have seen..."

"Get up." Wu Yanhe lowered his eyes, retracted his inquiring gaze, and asked, "Where is your princess?"

Gu Le closed his eyes with a fearless look on his face. Princess? The princess was sleeping in the big tent at this moment.

"Well... the princess is not feeling well today, and she just sent me to ask for leave from the master."

Wu Yanhe saw through it but didn't point it out, saying, "Really? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Gu Le stammered, "Maybe my stomach hurts..."

Wu Yanhe asked her to leave, then he lifted the curtain and walked in.

Xue Ji, who was half asleep just now, thought it was Gu Le who came back, and said without turning her head, "Gu Le...did you take the leave? They didn't say anything, did they?"

Wu Yanhe sat on a low stool and poured himself a cup of milk tea. "Please come, I'll come and see it myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Ji, who was sleeping with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes, turned around, and saw, as expected, the man sitting on her low table.

"You...how did you get here?"

Wu Yanhe put down the small bowl and said, "The princess is sick, I should come to see her."

Xue Ji didn't know why he said he should take a look.

"I have a headache today..."

Wu Yanhe curled his lips and thought, didn't the master and servant collude before they lied? Before he could ask anything, they gave themselves away.

Wu Yanhe finally suppressed the smile on his lips and cleared his throat, "Is that so? Since the princess is not feeling well, she will not be able to practice archery today..."

"Ahahaha - thank you so much." Xue Ji laughed dryly, not knowing what to do with her hands and feet. Seeing that the man was still not leaving, she had to cover her head with one hand and pretend to have a headache, propping herself up and sitting up, saying, "Well... don't you have anything to do today?"

Wu Yanhe raised his eyes to look at her, "My task today is naturally to watch you."

Xue Ji jumped up from the bed in a hurry, and then pretended to have a headache, saying, "Khan, you don't have to worry so much. I have been in poor health since I was a child. I either have a headache or a cough. There is really no need to trouble Lord Khan."

"That won't do. The Khan personally entrusted this to me, so of course I have to serve the princess well." After saying this, he handed the tea to her.

Xue Ji knew she was in the wrong, so she ate whatever Wu Yanhe handed her, whether it was tea or food, and tried to reduce her presence until she could not eat any more. Then she said weakly, "No more... I can't eat anymore."

The dried meat in his hand was taken back and Wu Yanhe placed it in a porcelain bowl. Gu Le had just asked for leave from his master. He opened the big tent and went in. The words he was about to say were stuck in his throat.

"Princess..."

At this moment, in Xue Ji's eyes, Gu Le was her savior. She quickly looked at her for help, clasped her hands together, and secretly begged Wu Yanhe to help her...

Please please...

Wu Yanhe looked over coldly and asked, "What's the matter?"

Gu Le choked, looked at Wu Yanhe and then at Xue Ji, and said, "I came to see if the princess's headache has improved."

"Have you consulted a witch doctor?"

Xue Ji hurriedly opened her mouth silently behind him, and gestured with her hands and feet. Gu Le finally managed to show his strength and said, "Yes, I have already invited you."

"Where's the medicine?"

Gu Le bowed, now he could answer fluently. After all, if you tell a lie, you need countless lies to cover it up. "The witch doctor may still be preparing medicine. I will go out and check it out."

After saying that, he hurried out of the tent.

Xue Ji just watched Gu Le walk out the door, and suddenly, for some reason, she felt very miserable.

After a while, Gu Le came in with the witch doctor and the medicine. Xue Ji was lying on the bed, watching the witch doctor come in. He said, "Sir, look..."

You see this is very inconvenient, why did you come here?

There was a charcoal fire in the tent. Wu Yanhe didn't turn around and said directly, "It's freezing outside. Princess, I think you don't mind me warming up here..."

I don’t mind. I really don’t mind.

The witch doctor was quite old and his hearing was not very good. When Gu Le went to invite him in advance, he had already informed him.

Xue Ji's eyes were almost blinking apart, and she just begged the witch doctor not to say out loud that she was not sick.

However, because the witch doctor is a little older and his hearing is not very good, his voice is particularly loud.

It would have been fine if no one asked, but Wu Yanhe still asked, "Witch doctor, how is the princess's health?"

This witch doctor has been a witch doctor in Huiran for his entire life. Ever since Xue Ji started to speak, the old witch doctor has been taking care of her body.

After a moment's silence, the witch doctor said loudly, "The princess has been weak since she was young... This is all old news."

Xue Ji was feeling depressed. She looked up at Wu Yanhe's expression, thinking that this man was deliberately exposing her and embarrassing her. However, when she looked up, she found that instead of mocking her, there was a hint of worry on his face.

"May I ask, doctor, how have you taken care of the princess's health over the years?"

The old witch doctor heard what he said clearly, stroked his goat-horn beard, and said, "The princess was born in winter, which is cold. She was born prematurely, which is why she is weak... I have taken care of her for so many years. As long as she exercises diligently and strengthens her body, this weakness will naturally be resolved... Today I heard that the princess is not feeling well, so I will prescribe a dose of medicine for her..."

Wu Yanhe silently kept the witch doctor's words in mind, and exercised diligently to strengthen her body... It seems that she has to go to the martial arts training ground. No wonder the old Khan cares so much about her studies.

Gu Le followed the witch doctor and left, and had to go and boil the medicine.

When Xue Ji heard the words "decocting medicine", her eyes rolled up, and her head really started to hurt this time...
