Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

His eyes suddenly became hot and his voice became hoarse, "Don't go, don't go."

"Why don't you leave?" Lu Yaoyao deliberately said indifferently, "Don't you want to keep your distance from me and don't want to have anything to do with me anymore?"

"No, I didn't." Gu Huai choked with suppressed longing, "What I said to you that night was not from my heart, but my father forced me to cut off contact with you, otherwise he would ask the emperor for permission to marry you to my eldest brother, so that I could completely cut off my thoughts on you. My eldest brother has a lover, and I don't want to hurt him for the rest of his life, nor do I want you to become my sister-in-law."

So that's how it is. No wonder she said he suddenly changed.

She thought he didn't like her.

As long as you don't dislike it, it's easy.

"Saying those harsh words to you was actually more painful than tearing my heart out. Now that I see you again, I know I can never let you go."

"Yaoyao, let's get back together."

Gu Huai's face was full of affection, and his eyes were full of Lu Yaoyao.

"Get back together?" Lu Yaoyao turned around and hooked her fingers into a strand of his hair, playing with it. "What do you mean? Be friends again?"

"No, be my lover. When we conquer the Northern Rong and return to the imperial court, I will personally ask the Emperor for permission to marry you."

Wouldn’t this progress bar be filled up all of a sudden?

"Are you sure?" Lu Yaoyao felt it was unreal. Gu Huai's emotions were too jumpy!

"determine."

Knowing that it was Lu Yaoyao who saved him, Gu Huai could no longer suppress the love in his heart.

In fact, he had fallen in love with her a long time ago, but the responsibilities on his shoulders and the obstruction of the prince made him restrain himself and make it seem that he didn't care about her and like her that much.

"Okay." Looking at the sincere boy in front of her, Lu Yaoyao's eyes flashed with emotion, no longer cold and distant, "I promise you."

The two smiled at each other, and all the misunderstandings and estrangements disappeared at this moment.

After calming down, Gu Huai finally remembered to ask Lu Yaoyao, "Yaoyao, how did you get here? And how come you know both archery and medicine?"

Lu Yaoyao put her index finger on her lips. "Can you not tell me? I promised the person who taught me these things not to reveal her identity. Anyway, I can assure you that I will never use my archery and medical skills to hurt a kind person."

Gu Huai held her hand, his rough fingertips gently stroking the back of her hand, understanding and gentle, "It's okay if you don't want to say it, I believe you. You saved my life, how could I possibly suspect you of having ulterior motives?"

"Then, someone with good eyesight, shouldn't you chop some wood for me? I've been chopping wood and cooking these days, and I'm almost dying of exhaustion."

Lu Yaoyao reached out and rubbed her waist. A warm palm quickly covered it, taking over her hand and rubbing the place she had just rubbed. "Okay, I'll cook for you from now on. You just wait and eat."

"Who will wash the clothes?"

"I wash."

"That's better. I'm hungry, and the farmhand should go and cook." Lu Yaoyao began to order him around jokingly.

Gu Huai actually stood up and said, "Yes, sir."

Lu Yaoyao lay on a homemade rattan chair, reading the storybook in her hand, occasionally stealing glances at Gu Huai who was cooking.

He probably grew up in a military camp, so he has good self-care ability and is quite capable as a chef.

Lu Yaoyao jokingly said, "Didn't someone say he would leave as soon as his eyes healed? Why isn't he in a hurry to leave now?"

Gu Huai replied sincerely: "If there is no war, Gu Huai is willing to live in seclusion here with Yaoyao for the rest of my life."

"How can that be?" Lu Yaoyao pretended to be pretentious. "I've won over General Gu, the dream lover of all the noble ladies in the capital. I have to show you off in front of them and make them jealous to death."

"As long as Yaoyao likes it, I'm happy to cooperate."

This Xiu Gou is so well behaved.

If Gu Huai was here, she would have wanted to reach out and rub his head.

"Ha ha……"

Lu Yaoyao now really feels that the pleasure of conquering a sunny and cheerful boy like Gu Huai is much better than conquering the patient and restrained Xie Qingchen.

No matter how much Xie Qingchen likes her, he will endure and restrain himself, and put the overall situation first. He probably has never thought of announcing their relationship to the whole world.

They have always been secretive, and when they are together, no one knows except some close people.

But who doesn’t like unique preference, and who likes to be hidden all the time? The country and national affairs are always more important than themselves?

She liked Gu Huai's frankness and directness, as he was willing to announce their relationship to the whole world once he confirmed it with her.

That night, Gu Huai carried Lu Yaoyao to the top of the mountain to watch the stars.

Under the bright starry sky, they lay on the grass. Lu Yaoyao held a piece of dogtail grass in her hand, crossed one leg over the other, and swayed gently. "The starry sky is so beautiful. It would be great if we could just stay away from the world in these mountains and live in seclusion."

During the ten years she was pursuing Xie Qingchen, she had seen all kinds of nastiness and was truly disgusted by the intrigues between people.

Gu Huai thought for a moment and said, "If you really like this place, after we conquer Beirong and return to the capital, I will ask the emperor for an imperial decree granting us marriage, and then I will come here with you to stay for a while. After we get married, you can come here often."

How can I have the time to come here often?

Almost two months had passed since the system gave her the time to complete the strategy.

"I'm just saying this, don't take it too seriously. I've kept you here for a while out of selfish reasons. Now that your eyes have healed, it's time to return to the barracks. The Great Jin needs you, and so do the people of the Great Jin. You're an invincible general on the battlefield."

"The people need me, and Yaoyao needs me too. A good general needs to take care of both the inside and the outside."

Gu Huai took her hand and placed it on his heart.

Lu Yaoyao listened to his strong heartbeat and inexplicably wanted to escape.

"Gu Huai will take Yaoyao's words seriously, but we have to part ways after just meeting. Yaoyao, I can't bear to leave you."

"I'm not planning to go back right now. I want to go back to the barracks with you." Lu Yaoyao turned sideways and met Gu Huai's gaze. There seemed to be tiny diamonds flowing in her clear eyes.

"What? You want to go to the barracks with me?"

Lu Yaoyao smiled gracefully, "What? You're not allowed?"

Gu Huai said in embarrassment: "The army does have regulations that prohibit women from entering, and I don't feel comfortable with you staying in a place full of stinky old men."

"How about I ask someone to take you back?"

"No, I don't want to be separated from you. Besides, I know medical skills and can help. As long as I disguise myself as a man so that no one can recognize me as a woman, isn't that enough?"

Gu Huai's heart softened. Reluctant to part with Lu Yaoyao, he agreed to bring Lu Yaoyao back to the military camp.

……

When Gu's father saw him, his eyes became slightly moist.

That day, Gu's father was ambushed by his men. If the prince had not been alert, he would have died.

Thanks to the prince's timely intervention, he was only scratched on the arm by the weapon in the rebel's hand.
