Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chu Xiaohe woke up from a nightmare.

When she woke up, there was another person in the room, Yuwen Ying.

Chu Xiaohe frowned and subconsciously pulled the blanket over his body.

Why are you here?

“You were trapped in a nightmare last night, and Madam Qing asked me to come and remove the poison from you.” Yuwen Ying yawned.

She didn't want to stay there either, but it got too late and she was so sleepy that she slumped to the ground and collapsed.

When I woke up, that is, now.

Chu Xiaohe looked at the bottle in her hand.

I have no idea what's inside.

However, it's clear that Yuwen Ying has indeed suffered a lot these past few days taking care of him.

"I'm fine now." He got off the soft couch, put on his clothes, and went outside the tent.

It's been five days.

Five days have passed since the Gu worm left his body, and his physical abilities have almost fully recovered.

Although he had been marching for the past two days and his rest was not as comfortable as it had been two days earlier, it did not have much of an impact on someone like him who spent most of his time in military camps.

However, for some reason, I've been having nightmares lately.

In my dreams, there's always someone rolling on the ground, convulsing, looking like they're in a lot of pain.

Yuwen Ying yawned again, got up from the ground, and followed him out.

It was still dark, and they had to set off again soon. She still had to treat him during the night. To be honest, she was really tired.

"Since you're alright, I'll head back now. Otherwise, if your soldiers see me when it's light, they might try to kill me again."

Yuwen Ying was self-aware enough to know that no one in the Chu family army liked her.

She was actually quite frustrated and wanted to leave, but she also wanted to wait for the Ninth Prince to return.

However, no one knew when the Ninth Prince would return. Tuoba Liuli only said that as long as he was alright, he would definitely come back.

But when will you come back?

She didn't know if she could endure waiting like this.

Recently, she accidentally let the soldiers know that she, a Khitan princess, was living in the military camp. She even seemed to hear people saying that they wanted to kill her to avenge the fallen Chu family soldiers.

If she doesn't leave soon, she might really die here.

Chu Xiaohe ignored Yuwen Ying. Yuwen Ying lowered her head, wrapped her robe around herself, and hurried back to her tent.

Chu Xiaohe's gaze fell on her back.

Actually, this girl didn't have any bad intentions. After spending a few days with her, he figured out that she wasn't a bad person.

But her older brother is Yuwen Shu.

How many brothers of the Chu family army died under Yuwen Shu's sword back then?

Six years have passed, and the souls of his fallen brothers still linger on this land of Southern Mongolia, never to be dispelled. He hasn't even been able to find their remains.

As Yuwen Shu's younger sister, even if she is a good person, she doesn't deserve their forgiveness.

No one has the right to forgive her on behalf of their deceased brother.

Everyone hates her, and Chu Xiaohe knows it all, he sees it clearly.

But she was also his savior.

This favor was too complicated, so complicated that he couldn't even imagine how to treat this princess.

The only way was to wait until they reached the northern part of Sukulu and then send her back to Yuwen Shu as a way of repaying her for saving his life.

When we meet again someday, we will be enemies on the battlefield.

Chu Xiaohe withdrew his gaze.

Before dawn, I subconsciously started walking around the military camp.

But to his utter surprise, he saw a figure in the military camp that haunted his dreams!
