The prince captured the rebel and quelled the rebellion. The rebel knew he would have no chance of survival, and before dying, he said fiercely: "It doesn't matter if you kill me, your precious son will never come back."

Father Gu was shocked.

The soldiers who were sent to encircle and suppress Yelu Qi came back one after another, but there was no sign of A Huai and Pang Yong.

He began to feel afraid, fearing that Pang Yong was also a traitor and was waiting for an opportunity to kill his youngest son.

To reassure him, Xie Qingchen personally led his soldiers into the dense forest to search for Ah Huai and Pang Yong.

Pang Yong's already cold body was found deep in the dense forest, along with some tattered clothes and a jade pendant that Ah Huai had dropped.

That was his first taste of what it was like to almost lose a loved one.

Thinking about how he had forced Gu Huai to give up the person he loved for the family honor.

He regretted it immensely at that moment.

He thought: As long as he can come back safely, as long as he can come back safely, he will no longer stop him from being with anyone.

Even if the prince is unhappy, he will take the opportunity to suppress the Gu family.

God seemed to have heard his prayers, and his son finally returned safely.

"Your Highness, I am back."

Gu Huai knelt on one knee and saluted.

"I'm glad you're back. Get up quickly." A look of joy appeared on the prince's usually cold face.

"Father." After Gu Huai stood up, he went forward and hugged his father.

Father Gu's voice choked slightly, and he patted his back and said, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

"Who is this?" Father Gu noticed a fair-faced and handsome man standing next to Gu Huai.

"This is Doctor Miaofeng. My son was ambushed by the traitor Pang Yong and nearly died. It was she who cured my injuries and eyes." Gu Huai introduced Lu Yaoyao, who was disguised as a male doctor, to the prince, Gu's father and others.

Upon hearing this, Gu Huai's eldest brother, Gu Chen, quickly bowed to Lu Yaoyao, his eyes filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Doctor Miaofeng, for saving my brother's life. The entire Gu family will surely remember your great kindness."

Lu Yaoyao gave Gu Chen a false hand and said in a gruff voice, pretending to be a man: "General Gu, you are too kind. A doctor is like a parent, and treating patients is my duty. Moreover, General Gu has devoted himself to the country and the people. By saving him, I am also accumulating merit for myself."

After hearing this, Gu's father and Gu Chen had even more respect for Lu Yaoyao, who was disguised as Doctor Miaofeng.

Xie Qingchen's gaze stayed on this "Doctor Miaofeng". He felt that her eyes and eyebrows looked somewhat familiar, but no matter how he thought about it, she shouldn't be the same as that person.

That night, the military camp held a welcoming ceremony for Gu Huai and Lu Yaoyao.

This is a place for men. What men love to do most is to drink, and find ways to persuade others to drink, or even force others to drink.

The deputy generals took turns to persuade everyone to drink, but Lu Yaoyao kept refusing on the grounds that he couldn't hold his liquor.

After being rejected, the deputy generals were obviously unhappy with their beards and glaring.

There is no man in this world who doesn’t drink!

A deputy general held up a glass of wine and said, "Doctor Miaofeng, this is my toast to you. Thank you for saving my general's life. You can't be so ungrateful!"

"Yeah, I can't drink much, but one or two is fine, just for show. Otherwise, it would be so boring! Could it be that Doctor Miao Feng has a hidden disease that prevents him from drinking?"

Lu Yaoyao really didn't know how to respond.

Gu Huai couldn't bear to watch it any longer. He stood up and said, "Don't make things difficult for Doctor Miao Feng. I'll drink it for her."

He took the wine offered by the deputy general and drank it in one gulp.

After Gu Huai's intervention, the deputy generals didn't know whether they should continue to urge them to drink.

Everyone looked at each other.

In the end, it was Gu Chen who smoothed things over. "He's a doctor, a man of high moral character. It's understandable that he doesn't drink. Please don't make things difficult for him."

The deputy generals had no choice but to give up.

Originally thinking that the matter was over, the deputy general who had made the toast sat down and prepared to drink heartily with his brothers.

Unexpectedly, Xie Qingchen, who had been silent the whole time, stared at the wine glass spinning between his fingers with dark eyes, and said in an unpredictable tone, "If I offer a glass of wine to Doctor Miaofeng, Doctor Miaofeng will not give me this honor?"

Lu Yaoyao's heart tightened. She didn't expect Xie Qingchen to speak suddenly. Now, the attention that had been distracted with great difficulty was diverted back to her.

The prince is not like others who can refuse directly. If you offend him, everyone will be unhappy at the welcoming banquet tonight.

Under everyone's gaze, she smiled softly, a smile that held a touch of respect and helplessness. She slowly stood up, her voice still maintaining the rough, masculine quality of a man. "Your Highness, your words are too kind. I am only a physician. How dare I act so arrogantly in front of you? It's just that I'm not a good drinker, and I'm afraid I might lose my composure after drinking, and disgrace Your Highness's elegance. How about I offer Your Highness a glass of tea instead of wine, as a token of my respect?"

Gu Huai quickly signaled to the soldiers beside him to bring some tea.

Lu Yaoyao picked up the teacup, bowed slightly towards Xie Qingchen, and drank the tea in one gulp.

Xie Qingchen's eyes were still dark, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking, but he did not speak again to embarrass Lu Yaoyao.

Lu Yaoyao and Gu Huai breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Lu Yaoyao sat down and continued talking and laughing.

Only after several deputy generals fell drunk did Xie Qingchen announce the end of the banquet and asked the soldiers to help the deputy generals go back to rest.

Gu Huai offered to take Lu Yaoyao back to the tent.

Everyone knew that it was Doctor Miaofeng who saved Gu Huai, so no one thought it was a big deal when Gu Huai took special care of Doctor Miaofeng.

Xie Qingchen's gaze followed the two people who were walking away, and he didn't look away for a long time.

It was late at night and everyone was in a deep sleep.

Lu Yaoyao didn't sleep, and the candle was still lit in the tent because Gu Huai said he would come over later.

She sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for Gu Huai to come over, and deliberately tapped the system, "System, how much does Gu Huai like me now?"

"Seventy points."

"Only 70 points?" Lu Yaoyao was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Gu Huai only liked her 70 points.

What exactly prevented Gu Huai from completely giving his heart to him?

"Also, in the cabin in the woods, after he regained his sight and recognized you, his liking for you soared to 70 points and then never increased again. The host needs to keep up the good work." The system said seriously.

It was really afraid that she would fail again!

"Okay." Lu Yaoyao thought, she had to think carefully about which direction to work towards.

Before, she had tried to win over Xie Qingchen, showing him consideration and warmth, and had also worked hard for him to help him ascend to the throne of the crown prince. Xie Qingchen's love for her had also reached a bottleneck period.

Later, they accidentally developed an intimate relationship, and his love for her began to grow again.

Could it be that this time, she also needs to have an intimate relationship with Gu Huai like before in order for him to continue to like her more?

Looks like I'll have to find a chance to try it tonight.

A slender figure was projected on the tent. Lu Yaoyao knew that Gu Huai had arrived and stood up.

Sure enough, he walked in quickly, taking advantage of the fact that no one was around.

"Yaoyao, I miss you so much."

As soon as they came in and their eyes met, Gu Huai attacked directly.

Thinking of the 70 points, Lu Yaoyao was a little skeptical and asked, "Really? How do we verify it?"
