"What are you going back for?" Lu Yaoyao pretended to be nonchalant.

"There is a traitor in the military camp, and he may harm my father's life. I must go back. Please help me, young lady." Gu Huai asked sincerely.

"You mean Marshal Gu?"

"Yes." Gu Huai hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Lu Yaoyao pushed him back and leaned back. "Then you don't have to worry. I just came back from the town after getting some information. There was indeed a rebellion in the Dajin military camp, but it has been quelled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Marshal Gu is also safe and sound."

Gu Huai's heart was relieved a little. Yes, worrying too much will lead to confusion. There is also His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in charge of the military camp!

With the perceptive Crown Prince around, Pang Yong couldn't just kill his father whenever he wanted.

But he only relaxed for a moment before his heart quickly rose again, and his voice became tense and alert, "Who is this girl?"

How could ordinary people go out of their way to find out information about the military?

Lu Yaoyao saw through his thoughts and said with a stifled laugh, "Don't be too nervous. I have no ill will towards you. It's just that your injuries are quite serious, especially your eyes. If you don't take proper medication, you will really go blind. So please be patient and stay here for a few days until you can see again. Even if you want to stay, I won't allow you."

The other party's frank words made Gu Huai feel embarrassed.

It's his petty mind.

He cupped his hands and bowed politely, "Thank you for troubling me, young lady."

"Rest for a while, I'll be back soon."

Lu Yaoyao tucked the corner of the quilt for him, stood up and walked out, brought the boiled medicine, and fed a mouthful to Gu Huai's mouth.

Gu Huai cooperated by opening his mouth and drinking sip after sip.

After he finished drinking the medicine, Lu Yaoyao used a handkerchief to wipe the remaining medicine stains from the corners of his mouth.

The fragrance from the handkerchief penetrated into my nostrils, and it was particularly fragrant and pleasant.

"It's the scent of magnolia." His breathing suddenly became faster.

Lu Yaoyao curled her lips, "I didn't expect you to recognize him."

"you……"

"Me what?" Lu Yaoyao looked at him with a smile, thinking that he recognized her.

However, Gu Huai was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head, "Nothing..." He explained: "I have a friend, and the handkerchief she carries with her also has the scent of magnolia, so I recognized it."

"Is that friend your sweetheart?" Lu Yaoyao asked tentatively.

Gu Huai was not too willing to answer.

He refused to speak, so Lu Yaoyao didn't ask him any more questions and changed the subject. "Are you hungry? I made some fish soup. Do you want me to bring it to you?"

Gu Huai didn't say anything, but his stomach seemed to know that he was hungry and rumbled twice in response.

Gu Huai looked embarrassed and his face turned red.

Lu Yaoyao smiled and walked out with the empty bowl.

But in a moment, she brought out the freshly prepared fish soup. The soup was milky white and exuded an enticing aroma while steaming, which increased people's appetite at the sight of it.

She gently placed the bowl on the small table beside the bed, carefully tested the temperature to make sure it would not burn his mouth, and then handed it to Gu Huai's mouth.

"Drink some fish soup first to warm yourself up. It will also help heal the wound."

Gu Huai lowered his head and took a sip, and the delicious taste instantly spread in his mouth.

He looked up at Lu Yaoyao, his face full of gratitude, "Thank you, young lady. This fish soup is really delicious."

Lu Yaoyao smiled and said, "If you like it, drink one more bowl."

After Gu Huai had eaten and drunk his fill, Lu Yaoyao carefully checked his wound and changed the dressing.

Her movements were gentle and skillful, and the occasional skin touch made Gu Huaiqing think of that night in the depths of the Imperial Garden when his finger was scratched by a kitten and Lu Yaoyao gently treated his wound.

What is she doing now?

Will you remember him?

"Miss, you are such a skilled doctor, why do you live in seclusion here?" Gu Huai couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.

He had already concluded that the person who treated his injuries was not an ordinary citizen. How could an ordinary citizen have such outstanding medical skills and superb archery skills?

Lu Yaoyao's hand paused slightly, then continued to bandage the wound, saying in a slightly teasing tone, "Because there's a fool waiting for me to save him."

Fool?

Is it him?

Gu Huai blushed slightly. After thinking for a moment, he pleaded, "Miss, although the rebellion has been quelled in the military camp, I still want to write a letter back to let everyone know I'm safe. I wonder when you'll be back in town. Could you please send a letter to the Royal Post Station in town to let me know I'm safe? The post station will send someone to deliver the letter to the military camp."

Lu Yaoyao smiled playfully, "Didn't you notice that something is missing from your possession?"

"what?"

"Your sword!"

"My sword?"

"Yes, as a military commander, your sword is as important as your life. When you woke up, didn't you look for your sword first?"

"In the dense forest, while negotiating with the rebels, my sword was cut off by the rebels' knife. I thought it had fallen there."

After waking up, my memory is pretty good.

Lu Yaoyao said caringly, "I've already sent the broken sword and a letter announcing your safety to the Royal Post in town. I've asked them to deliver it to the military camp. I'm sure your father has seen the letter by now."

She was so well-behaved that Gu Huai couldn't help but become more curious about her identity.

"Anyway, just rest and recuperate here. Once you're fully recovered, I won't keep you away."

Lu Yaoyao promised again, and Gu Huai felt a little embarrassed.

He continued to chatter as if the girl was forcing him to stay there.

"Thank you, girl."

In the following days, Gu Huai stayed here to recuperate. In his free time, Lu Yaoyao read to him, taught him to identify herbs, and play blind man chess.

When Lu Yaoyao was too busy, she would ask Gu Huai to help her grind the herbs.

When Gu Huai's wounds were almost healed, he would go fishing in the river with Lu Yaoyao.

Although he could not see, his skills were still there. When he heard a fish swimming towards him, he would thrust the harpoon in his hand into the water neatly and always catch the fat fish accurately.

Lu Yaoyao watched from the side and laughed, praising him for his good skills despite being blind.

The laughter spread across the river, and even the air around them became warm and harmonious.

Gu Huai sometimes thought, how nice it would be if it was Miss Lu who was living in seclusion with him now, without being bothered by worldly trivialities.

……

"General Gu, today is the day to remove the gauze from your eyes. Are you afraid that you won't be able to see again?"

"I believe in Miss Tao's medical skills. If I really can't restore my sight, I will admit it and dare not blame her."

Lu Yaoyao curled her lips slightly.

Still pretending, your lips are clearly trembling.

She gently unwrapped the layers of wrapping around Gu Huai's eyes.

As the last layer of gauze slipped off, Gu Huai's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, as if he could feel a ray of light entering his eyes.

But the light was a little blurry. Maybe it was because he was nervous, but he subconsciously closed his eyes again.

After waiting for a moment, he mustered up the courage to open his eyes again.

The world in front of me gradually became clear from blurry.

He first saw Lu Yaoyao who was very close to him. Lu Yaoyao had an indifferent expression on her face, but her eyes showed no sign of hiding her worry for him.

"Miss Lu, why is it you?"

Lu Yaoyao curled her lips, "Are you unhappy to see me? If you are unhappy, I will disappear from your sight immediately."

She pretended to leave, but Gu Huai quickly stood up and grabbed her, holding her in his arms.
