However, Li Zhongquan had worked in the palace for so many years that he still had some skills and connections. He sent a mere letter out of the palace without any effort.

Two tall black horses galloped into the woods, their hooves splashing through puddles, splashing mud that either stained the hems of clothes or fell back into the mud puddles. After being washed by the rain, it quickly melted.

"Miss Nian, do you still recognize the road?" Chen Hu shouted loudly towards the slender figure in front of him.

The sky was already dark, and it was difficult to see the road once entering the forest. If one got lost, it would be difficult to get out after nightfall. Chen Hu was a little worried.

He didn't care, but how could Nian Susu's small body withstand the cold in the forest?

Nian Susu turned his head slightly and said, "Remember!"

Their voices seemed weak amid the crackling sound of rain.

Nian Susu galloped through the forest and soon saw the camp hidden deep in the criss-crossing jungle.

The two men dismounted at the camp gate.

The guard at the gate recognized Nian Susu, and his eyes widened in surprise the moment he saw her, "Doctor Nian! You're back!"

Then his eyes fell on the tall and mighty Chen Hu behind her. His smile froze and he became alert. This man was obviously a military commander and not from the camp. Now there was a confrontation outside, so he did not dare to take it lightly.

"This is..." The guard looked at Nian Susu.

Nian Susu smiled and said, "This is General Xiao's deputy general, his surname is Chen, and he is here to escort me back to the camp on General Xiao's orders."

"Oh~" The guard suddenly realized, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Chen Hu with a curious look, "So it's Deputy General Chen."

Nian Susu smiled without saying anything, and couldn't help but sigh silently: General Xiao's name is still useful!

Chen Hu clasped his hands and said, "I am ordered by General Xiao to escort Miss Nian back to the camp. I must personally send her to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before I can leave!"

The guard nodded repeatedly and led them to the camp, saying as he walked, "Your Highness led his troops out to battle this morning, and I'm afraid he won't be back for a while."

Chen Hu: "In that case, then settle down in the camp first. I will leave after seeing His Highness."

The guards dared not object.

A patrol team passed by and when they saw Nian Su Su, they were shocked. However, they did not slow down and their figures gradually disappeared into the rain.

"His Highness has gone to war..." Nian Susu murmured again, feeling vaguely uneasy.

The autumn rain brought a chill. They traveled for two days in a row. After being caught in the rain, Nian Susu rubbed his blocked nose.

"Ah sneeze——"

The two men turned to look at her at the same time, "Miss Nian/Doctor, are you okay?"

Nian Susu was a doctor, so she knew her own body clearly. She just caught a cold, nothing serious. She glanced at the tents around her and guessed that the guards were going to take her to Qin Junyu's tent.

"I'm fine. Please go to the tent where I used to live and find a girl named Ah Hong. Ask her to bring me a set of clean clothes."

"I will wait for her in Her Highness's tent."

The guard responded and ran away.

Chen Hu looked around, being very wary of everything around him, especially the patrol team passing by him. He stared with fierce eyes and watched the team leave.

"I didn't expect that Miss Nian is quite famous in the camp." Chen Hu was surprised.

He was a soldier and knew best how low the status of women was in the barracks. But many soldiers had just walked by and many of them greeted her with very good attitudes, so he admired her.

Nian Susu joked, "The people of Qingshan City all respect me as a goddess. How bad can a goddess' status be?"

Chen Hu scratched his head and said, "That's true. No matter where the goddess goes, she is respected by everyone."

As the two were talking, they had already arrived at Qin Junyu's tent.

There were four people guarding the tent door. They were all Qin Junyu's confidants. They had cold faces and were inhumane, just like their master.

When he saw Nian Susu, he respectfully called out, "Crown Princess?" and then lifted the curtain to invite her in.

Nian Susu hadn't heard the title "Crown Princess" for a long time, and felt a little dazed.

After waiting in the tent for a while, someone came in. I don't know what they said, but the guard suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Miss Nian, a girl who calls herself Ah Hong is here to bring you some clothes."

"Let her in."

Ah Hong carefully protected the clothes in her arms, and another girl held an umbrella to protect her. The two of them hunched their necks to avoid the rain and hid in the tent, and inevitably got their bodies wet.

"Thank you, Miss Xiao." Ah Hong timidly glanced at the girl next to her who was collecting an umbrella.

She didn't know this "Miss Xiao", she only knew that she had a close relationship with the Prince of Liuli. Everyone in the camp respected her. At the same time, because she was straightforward and could talk to anyone, the soldiers liked her very much.

This Miss Xiao did not despise their identity as military prostitutes. She often went to their residences to have meals and chat with them. The military prostitutes also liked her very much.

But Ah Hong was of a dull nature and did not have much contact with her. Just now, a guard came to find her and said that Miss Xiao was back and asked her to deliver some clothes to her. Miss Xiao happened to be there too and she enthusiastically asked to accompany her, and Ah Hong did not refuse.

Xiao Yunzheng waved her hand and said with a smile, "It's just a piece of cake."

Putting the umbrella aside, Xiao Yunzheng looked around the tent, looking for the familiar figure.

In front of the fireplace, a slender figure stood with his back to her, and next to him was a burly man.

Ah Hong took the clothes and said, "Miss Nian, your clothes."

Nian Susu thanked her with a smile and asked a few questions about her health. Ah Hong answered all her questions.

Every time Ah Hong has her period, she suffers from severe abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and dizziness. After Nian Susu found out, he prescribed some medicine for her, and now her symptoms have been relieved a lot.

Ah Hong glanced behind Nian Susu, her eyes fixed as if she was looking at something.

Nian Susu was puzzled. When she turned around, a figure quickly rushed over and hugged her in his arms, holding her tightly with his arms.

"Lingling, wuwuwu... It's really you! I missed you so much!" Xiao Yunzheng was about to cry, and her crying voice sounded very aggrieved.

“Yun Zheng?!” Nian Su Su was surprised and happy. She couldn’t push Xiao Yun Zheng away and could only let her hug her. “Yun Zheng, why are you here? Didn’t you go traveling around? Liangcheng and Qingshancheng are both in turmoil recently. How could you…”

Before she finished her question, Xiao Yunzheng let her go. Their eyes met, and Xiao Yunzheng's tears immediately rolled down like beads from a broken string, "Lingling, you don't know what I've been through in the past month... woooo..."

She wiped her tears and was about to complain, but she caught a glimpse of the man next to Nian Susu from the corner of her eye, and her crying stopped abruptly, "Chen...Brother Chen?!"

Chen Hu had been excited for a long time. Seeing Xiao Yunzheng finally noticed him, he was deeply moved. His rough voice trembled: "Little sister..."
