Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

After the doctor finished bandaging the wound, he left a few prescriptions and then left.

Mother Gu looked at the pale, unconscious Lu Yaoyao lying on the bed. After a moment's thought, she said, "Come here, guard the palace gate. If the master and the young master leave the palace, immediately report to them that Miss Lu was assassinated."

"Madam, I have nothing to do. Why don't I go to the palace and inform General Gu?" Qingfeng took the initiative to suggest. He believed that as Lu Yaoyao's husband, Gu Huai should be the first to know her condition.

Hearing this, Mother Gu looked at Qingfeng gratefully and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Young Master Qingfeng."

Qingfeng nodded slightly, turned and left, his figure quickly disappearing into the night.

On the other side, the three members of the Gu family were urgently summoned by the emperor to the imperial study.

The emperor's face was solemn, a secret letter clutched tightly in his hand. He spoke urgently, "Gu Huai, urgent news from southern Xinjiang: barbarians suddenly launched a large-scale invasion of Yanmen Pass. Countless people of the Great Jin have been killed, and women have been enslaved. This is truly a disgrace to the Great Jin. I know you are newlyweds, but now that the crown prince has gone to Dianjiang, the country is in danger. I can only rely on you, the Gu family."

Although Gu Huai was reluctant, as a general, defending the country was his duty.

He knelt on one knee and solemnly accepted the order, "Your Majesty, Gu Huai, is willing to lead the troops to the battle and swear to defend the borders, and live up to your majesty's high expectations!"

The emperor nodded in satisfaction and personally helped Gu Huai to his feet, his eyes full of trust and expectation. "Gu Huai, ever since you took to the battlefield to kill the enemy, you have won every battle and brought glory to our Great Jin. I believe you will be able to drive out the barbarians. On the day of your triumphant return, I will personally hold a grand wedding for you and Yaoyao."

After Gu Huai expressed his gratitude, he felt mixed emotions.

He didn't want to leave and couldn't bear to leave Yaoyao, but as a soldier, there was military intelligence at the border and he had to go there to deal with it.

"Then you should go back tonight and pack your belongings. The military situation is serious. I hope you will lead the troops and set off tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The three members of the Gu family, father and son, responded in unison.

The three members of the Gu family arrived at the palace gate, and Qingfeng arrived at the right time. He informed Gu Huai of the news that Lu Yaoyao had been assassinated.

When Gu Huai heard the news, his face instantly became nervous, "Is Yaoyao okay?"

"There is no danger to his life, but the person is still unconscious." Qingfeng said truthfully.

Gu Huai did not investigate why he came to report the news. He just wanted to rush back to Lu Yaoyao as soon as possible.

"Father, brother, I'll go ahead." He did not choose to take a carriage, but got on a horse.

"Okay, go ahead." Father Gu responded.

Gu Huai spurred his horse and whispered to himself, "Yaoyao, wait for me. I must see you safe and sound."

Gu Huai returned to the Gu family and went straight to his and Lu Yaoyao's wedding room. What he saw was Lu Yaoyao with a pale face, lying weakly on the bed.

Gu Huai felt distressed and blamed himself at the same time. When he was urgently summoned to the palace again, he should have arranged for someone to protect Yaoyao. How could he let her be assassinated again?

Fortunately, her life was not in danger, otherwise he couldn't imagine how he would collapse.

"Ahuai, I'm glad you're back. Stay with Yaoyao while I go see if the medicine is ready."

"Okay." Gu Huai's nose felt sore and tears almost fell.

He gently held Lu Yaoyao's hand and whispered, "Yaoyao, I'm back. I'm sorry for not protecting you and putting you in danger again."

While Lu Yaoyao was unconscious, she seemed to feel Gu Huai's breath. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, but she couldn't open her eyes.

Gu Huai continued, "I will be leading the troops off to war tomorrow. You are seriously injured, and as your husband, I cannot stay by your side and take care of you every step of the way. I have failed in my duty. But Yaoyao, can you please forgive me this time? The Emperor has promised that when I return victorious, he will hold another grand wedding for us."

"The medicine is here, feed her."

Mother Gu walked into the room carrying the freshly boiled medicine. The aroma of medicine and bitterness intertwined and filled the air.

Gu Huai took the medicine bowl, blew it cool carefully, then gently lifted Lu Yaoyao's head, let her lean on his arms, and gently handed the medicine spoon to her lips.

Although Lu Yaoyao was still in a coma and unable to swallow on her own, Gu Huai patiently tried little by little to get the medicine into her mouth as much as possible.

Mother Gu watched this scene silently from the side, with both heartache and relief in her eyes.

I am relieved that he finally finds love, but I am sad that he loves too deeply and I am afraid that such deep love will hurt himself in the future.

"Ahuai, don't worry too much. Good things will happen to her. She will wake up. You will be leaving for the battle tomorrow, so you should take time to pack up. Don't worry about things at home. I will take care of everything, including your wife." Mother Gu comforted softly.

"Thank you, mother."

Gu Huai nodded, but his heart was filled with mixed emotions. He knew that he was about to embark on a road full of unknowns and dangers, but he also knew that for the sake of his country and Yaoyao, he must stand up bravely.

The lights in the Gu family's house were bright, but they could not hide the sadness of parting.

The three members of the Gu family are going to war again, and no one is happy.

War means bloodshed and sacrifice.

Gu Huai said goodbye to his mother, packed his bags, sat on the edge of the bed, holding Lu Yaoyao's hand, and did not sleep all night.

He kept praying in his heart, hoping that a miracle would happen and Yaoyao would wake up before he left, even if it was just to see him and hear him say "wait for me".

However, until the sky turned pale, Lu Yaoyao was still sleeping.

Gu Huai had no choice but to harden his heart, get up, change his clothes and wash up, ready to embark on the journey.

He looked at Lu Yaoyao deeply, engraved her appearance deeply in his heart, then turned around resolutely and walked out of the room with big strides.

"Yaoyao, when I come back, I will share the news of victory with you." He muttered to himself, taking every step firmly and powerfully.

The Gu family had already prepared everything. Mother Gu stood in front of the door and watched the three Gu family members, father and son, get on their horses and leave. There was both reluctance and pride in her eyes.

"Come back soon." She waved goodbye.

The sound of horse hooves rang out, dust rose, and the figures of the Gu family father and son gradually disappeared, leaving only a series of clanging horse hooves.

One morning three days later, Lu Yaoyao finally woke up. She looked up at the carved beams and painted buildings above her head, and vaguely recalled what happened that night.

She encountered an assassin and was saved by Qingfeng, and then she fainted.

The maid who brought the medicine in saw that she had woken up, and quickly put down the medicine, feeling happy, "Young Madam, you are awake."

"What time is it?"

"You've been unconscious for three days and four nights."

"What? So long?" Lu Yaoyao asked, covering her dizzy head. "Where is Gu Huai? Where is he?"

The maid sighed, "General Gu has already gone with the army, and the master and the eldest son have also gone."
