The next day, Gu Huai finally woke up from his coma.

The moment Lu Yaoyao saw him open his eyes, tears were about to come out.

"How do you feel? Are you still dizzy? Are you still in pain?"

Gu Huai held Lu Yaoyao's hand tightly. Although his face was pale, his eyes were still as gentle as ever. "Yaoyao, I'm fine. Don't be sad."

As he spoke, he tried to raise his other hand to touch Lu Yaoyao's face.

Lu Yaoyao quickly reached out and held his raised hand, covering her face with it, and said, "I'm not sad, don't move, otherwise the wounds on your body that have been treated will break open again." As she spoke, she checked Gu Huai's wounds and felt relieved after confirming that there was no bleeding.

Gu Huai pondered for a moment and had to admit, "Bei Rong's new weapons are indeed powerful. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I'm afraid..."

"Don't say anymore, I'm scared." The tragic sight of Gu Huai being sent to her covered in blood yesterday still left her with lingering fears.

She didn't want to recall the scene again.

Seeing her shoulders trembling slightly, Gu Huai said softly, "Okay, I won't say anything more. It's all my fault."

"Well, your first priority now is to take care of your health. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and others will take care of other things, so don't worry about them." Lu Yaoyao deliberately put on a stern face and ordered.

Gu Huai looked into her eyes, his smile sly, "As you command, my future wife."

Lu Yaoyao didn't think there was anything wrong with this title at first, until later, when she tried to find out why Gu Huai's love for her had never reached 100%, she found that there were traces of everything. It was just that she didn't really love Gu Huai, so she didn't pay much attention to his words and deeds, and didn't notice anything unusual.

Under Lu Yaoyao's care, Gu Huai recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She really decided not to interfere in military affairs and expose herself more, but when Gu's father was sent to her covered in blood, and Gu Huai hugged him and begged her again and again to save his father, she could no longer remain calm.

Gu Huai himself was seriously injured, but he could still keep a smile on his face. However, when the injured party turned out to be his family, he became completely panicked.

"General Gu, don't be nervous. Your father will be fine. I will treat him immediately."

Lu Yaoyao quickly adjusted her mood and focused her attention on Father Gu's injuries.

She knew very well that every second of delay would put Father Gu in greater danger.

"Carry Marshal Gu to the bed." She gave the order to the soldiers, and after the soldiers carried Marshal Gu to the bed, they immediately began to check his wounds.

Gu's father's injury was not as shocking as Gu Huai's, but it was also enough to make people terrified.

There were many scratches on his body caused by sharp weapons. The most serious wound was on his abdomen. Blood was constantly oozing out from there, staining his clothes red.

"Hurry, prepare hot water, bandages and herbs!" Lu Yaoyao shouted to the military medical assistants.

In such an emergency situation, time is life and rescue efforts must be made every minute.

With the assistance of military medical assistants, Lu Yaoyao quickly cleaned Gu's father's wound and performed preliminary hemostasis treatment.

Father Gu's injuries were gradually brought under control.

After seeing his complexion improve, Gu Huai's frightened and fearful expression also gradually improved.

He held his father's hand tightly, but his eyes were always on Lu Yaoyao.

Wusheng said: "Thank you, Yaoyao. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do."

In his heart, his father has always been a strong and unshakable figure. This is the first time he has seen his father injured so badly.

Before leaving, my mother's earnest advice was still echoing in my ears.

They all promised their mother that they would return safely.

"General Gu, you don't have to be so polite. This is my duty as a doctor."

Although Lu Yaoyao said this, Gu Huai knew in his heart that the hard work and effort she had put in to save her father was by no means as easy as she said.

That night, Gu Huai stayed to look after his father.

Lu Yaoyao was walking alone outside the tent, kicking the stones under her feet, looking very worried.

She originally thought that she could stay out of military affairs, but the sudden change today and Gu Huai's fear and panic of losing his father made it impossible for her to sit idly by.

If she continues to let it go, will Xie Qingchen be the next one to get hurt or even lose his life?

She simply couldn't bear to think about the tragic scene of Xie Qingchen being sent to her covered in blood.

Will I be able to remain calm and treat him then?

Even though she had been trying to win over Xie Qingchen for ten years without success, after being with him day and night for ten years, she wanted nothing to happen to him more than anyone else.

So, that night, she found Xie Qingchen and said straight to the point, "Your Highness, could you take me to see what Beirong's new, powerful weapon looks like?"

Xie Qingchen shifted his gaze from the strategic layout map to her face. After examining her for a long moment, he said, "Why are you looking at it? Do you have a way to crack it?"

"Not now, but only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Your Highness, could you take me to see it?"

She softened her tone.

Xie Qingchen's gaze lingered on her face for a long moment, then he said, "I can take you with me, but if you can't think of a way to restrain yourself, I'll only ask you. Do you know that this counts as meddling in military affairs?"

In this dynasty, women interfering in military affairs were as guilty as the harem interfering in government affairs, which was a capital crime.

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao's eyes did not retreat. Instead, she met Xie Qingchen's gaze and said in a strong voice, "If this subject cannot find a way to restrain herself, I will leave this subject to your Highness' disposal."

"Okay, I'll take you there now."

The two men left the tent, and Xie Qingchen asked Qingfeng to bring his thousand-mile Ferghana horse.

Qingfeng was surprised, "Your Highness, are you going out so late?"

Xie Qingchen said calmly: "Don't worry about me."

"Yes."

Although the prince's tone was not stern, Qingfeng had already sensed the strength in his understated tone.

Xie Qingchen mounted his horse and immediately extended his hand towards Lu Yaoyao.

Lu Yaoyao did not hesitate to put her hand on his palm. With a gentle pull, she sat steadily on the back of the horse.

The night was as dark as ink and the moonlight was bright. The figures of the two men riding away on horseback stood out clearly in the silence of the military camp.

The patrolling soldiers watched them leave.

The Arabian horse crossed the wide road and grassland and finally stopped outside an impregnable city.

"The Beirong people's new weapons are mounted on the city wall. You can take a look." Xie Qingchen's voice sounded particularly cold in the night.

Lu Yaoyao looked up and saw that the thing on the city wall was nothing but a cannon emplacement.

But in order to see the structure clearly and make it easier to create a restraining device, she requested, "Your Highness, can you come a little closer?"
