Time passed quickly, and soon it was the day before the Duke of Zhenguo set out on his expedition.

On this day, the Duke of Zhenguo, who had already made all the arrangements, brought Luo Xiyao to the Prince Rui's Mansion.

As the Duke of Zhenguo was about to go to war, the family naturally had to have a farewell dinner.

Since Xie Nanyuan was in poor health, the meal was arranged at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

The sadness of separation could not restrain Luo Xiyao's mouth, and the father and daughter had a good chat at the dinner table about "the father is kind and the daughter is filial".

Xie Nanyuan seemed to be feeling better, but he was still very weak. He couldn't hold on any longer before finishing his meal, and hurriedly sent the person back to the house.

Dean Wu had originally strictly instructed Xie Nanyuan not to leave the hospital and to rest, but today he ignored the doctor's advice and acted on his own will.

Looking at Lin Ze's busy figure, Luo Xiyao casually asked, "Where's Ji Bei? I haven't been here for just one day, so why haven't I seen him all day?"

Lin Ze paused and said, "Ji Bei's injuries haven't healed yet, and the prince asked him to go back to his room to recuperate."

Luo Xiyao naturally also knew that Ji Bei failed to protect his master that day and asked to be punished with fifty military sticks. She nodded and said nothing more.

Seeing Xie Nanyuan's frail appearance, Luo Xiyao couldn't help but move closer to Shen Qionghua and asked, "Qionghua, hasn't Doctor Pei been found yet?"

My cousin is still so weak after so many days. It seems that Dr. Wu’s medical skills are not that good.

He didn't even notice that Xie Xiaowu had almost died from poisoning before. It was thanks to Pei Liangchuan's good medical skills that Xie Xiaowu had almost died from vomiting blood, but in Pei Liangchuan's care, he was alive and well in less than half a month.

If I want to cure my cousin, I have to find Pei Liangchuan as soon as possible.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qionghua shook his head calmly and said, "No, there is not a trace at all. It's like he disappeared into thin air."

Luo Xiyao's eyebrows knitted tightly when she heard this. She was about to ask something when she heard Shen Qionghua say, "Xiyao, it's getting late. The Duke will be leaving for the battle tomorrow. You should go back early today. I'll take care of the Prince."

Luo Xiyao was just about to say no, she had rested for a day yesterday and was already feeling much better, so she could help take care of Xie Nanyuan, but before she could open her mouth, the Duke of Zhenguo urged her to go back home.

Luo Xiyao was still hesitant and didn't want to leave, so Xie Nanyuan directly started to drive her away. His voice was weak and cold, "Hurry back and don't disturb us."

What are you disturbing?

Naturally, it disturbed the time he and Shen Qionghua were alone together.

Luo Xiyao was instantly furious.

She was really bored and had nothing better to do. Instead of living a good life, she ran to Prince Rui's mansion to take care of him.

People like him should be lying in bed seriously injured, in pain and with no one to take care of them.

Although she thought so in her heart, she could not bring herself to say the words that she wanted to say to Xie Nanyuan when she saw his pale face.

Well, considering how pitiful he looked as if he had difficulty finding a place to stay, she would not bother with him this time.

Luo Xiyao chose to ignore Xie Nanyuan and only said to Shen Qionghua, "Qionghua, I'll go back first. I'll come back tomorrow morning after I send my father off."

Shen Qionghua nodded and watched Luo Xiyao leave.

She turned around, sighed, and said, "Are you really not going to tell Xiyao?"

The man looked at her with tenderness in his eyes and whispered soothingly, "It's best that she doesn't know, and that's more convincing."

Shen Qionghua sighed, but knew that the man's decision was right. She nodded slowly and said no more.

The door closed, and a golden light flashed from the corner...

……

The sun rises high tomorrow. Today is the day when the Duke of Zhenguo goes out to fight.

The people still lined the streets to see them off, but what was different from usual was that this time the emperor attached great importance to it and personally escorted the army to the city gate, so the people had a rare opportunity to see the emperor.

Xie Rong looked at the Duke of Zhenguo who was bidding farewell in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he personally helped the man up.

Looking at the calm and solemn face of the Duke of Zhenguo, he slowly said, "Duke of Zhenguo, I and the people of Dai Yue are waiting for your triumphant return in the capital."

The Duke of Zhenguo's expression changed, and he bowed and said, "I will definitely live up to the emperor's trust, but..."

The Duke of Zhenguo paused and said, "It's just that I am about to go on a long expedition, but there is something in my heart that I can't let go of."

"His Royal Highness Prince Rui is the late Queen's only child. He is now seriously injured and bedridden, and his body is weak. I am deeply concerned. I hope Your Majesty will take good care of His Royal Highness."

Xie Rong smiled when he heard this, and said calmly, "Of course. Yuan'er is my only legitimate son, and also the only child I had with the late queen. He's injured, so I'm naturally concerned."

"In that case, I feel relieved." The Duke of Zhenguo seemed very satisfied. He bowed to Xie Rong again, then turned around and left with the Zhenguo Army.

There were too many people around, and Li Shunquan was a little worried. He said to Xie Rong, "Your Majesty, are you going back to the palace?"

Xie Rong nodded lightly and sat on the dragon sedan chair.

The sedan chair was lifted up and headed towards the imperial palace.

Before leaving, Xie Rong took a last look back and saw the vast army stretching as far as the eye could see.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and a hint of pleasure and madness flashed in his eyes.

The huge rock that has been weighing on his heart for many years is finally going to be crushed into foam!
