Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

Su Zhelan lay in bed and heard Ye Li say:

"I'm going back to Tian Shu Kingdom."

The girl looked serious and spoke firmly. She did not explain or say anything more.

Su Zhelan's face was pale, as if she was unwilling to accept it. She lowered her eyes, hiding her emotions.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? You haven't finished what you promised me."

Ye Li didn't know if the dream was real or not, but she didn't want to gamble.

She silently picked up the bowl and scooped up a spoonful of porridge.

Mu Nianchen fed him personally, saying each word carefully:

"My heart is set on returning home."

Su Zhelan got up, drank the porridge, and asked:

What do you like about Mo Chen?

Ye Li was taken aback by his directness. She blushed and said shyly:

"Maybe it's fate... He saved me at first, and then I couldn't leave him..."

Su Zhelan stared at her, her expression unreadable:

"The General's Mansion is not the idyllic place you imagine."

He dropped a bomb:

Do you know why he is the only one left in the General's Mansion, and why both his parents are dead?

Ye Li also said seriously at this moment:

“It doesn’t matter. No matter what he’s been through, I’m marrying him, not his family background.”

Su Zhelan was greatly shocked upon hearing this. Was it not because of his family background that she was marrying him?

He stared at her, as if trying to see right through her, and remained lost in thought for a long time…

"If one day you find out the truth, you'll probably avoid Mo Chen like the plague, seeing him as a terrifying monster..."

"I can't!" Ye Li interrupted him.

Then, using the identity of Mu Nianchen, he kept scooping up porridge to stuff into Su Zhelan's mouth:

"Just eat well and don't worry about anything."

"It will heal quickly naturally!"

Ye Li didn't want to hear these words from other people.

The same thing can be viewed differently depending on one's perspective.

Since she has married Mo Chen, she only needs to let Mo Chen tell her; the others have different stances, so she doesn't need to care.

Ye Li's firm and determined gaze finally aroused Su Zhelan's jealousy—

What kind of power can make a person unwavering in their commitment?

Su Zhelan had never experienced this; he only knew that women would ultimately prioritize the interests of their families and choose the most advantageous husband.

All he knew was that women always liked to blame others for their mistakes, claiming they were powerless and forced into it.

Su Zelan had never seen anyone like this before.

The more I get to know her, the more I realize that she is different from others.

Passionate, determined, persistent, and fearless.

Once she's set her sights on a man, she'll ignore anyone who says bad things about him.

Even if this person is in deep trouble and facing numerous crises, she refuses to back down and find a powerful backer as a way out.

At this moment, Su Zhelan had to admit that he had taken this unique woman to heart.

The bedchamber remained silent for a long time.

After a moment, Su Zhelan sighed, looked at her helplessly, and said:

"Do you know that it is the least difficult for an emperor to fall in love?"

Ye Li saw that he was now making no attempt to hide it.

He replied seriously, "Our fate is shallow, so why should we be so affectionate?"

"We were never meant to be, it's all because you spent money."

“You deserve the help of a woman with a powerful family background.”

"You are born to be an emperor. You have no desire for others or for yourself. Take good care of your injuries, and you will meet someone even better in the future."

Ye Li disliked being wishy-washy. She fed the porridge while talking, and after finishing, she left the bedroom.

When it comes to matters of the heart, things are often tangled and complicated, so it's better to cut ties decisively.

……

Besides...

Expecting deep affection from an emperor?

Why not just hope to get rich quick and then buy whatever you want...?

Ye Li left gracefully and freely.

In the end, Su Zhelan finally realized that she was not playing hard to get.

She really wanted to leave...

The enormous sleeping quarters were exceptionally precious.

Only Su Zhelan sat alone among them.

I felt incredibly cold and desolate...

-

Beichen Palace.

In the residence of Doctor Mu and Ye Li, Doctor Mu watched his little apprentice packing his things anxiously, looking even more anxious than yesterday, and thought something had happened again.

The divine physician asked, "Are you determined to go back now?"

Ye Li: "Yes, thank you for taking care of these things for me, Master. The Prince of Beichen's injuries are not serious, but that woman may need continuous acupuncture..."

Doctor Mu nodded: "Yes, just be careful on your journey."

Ye Li knelt down before Doctor Mu and said gratefully:

"It's all because of Master's help that I can speak and was cured of the poison here. But now, because of my own selfishness, I haven't gone back with Master. Please forgive your unfilial disciple..."

Ye Li kowtowed to Doctor Mu, the most solemn ceremony in ancient times, to express her gratitude.

The divine healer quickly helped him up:

"It's good that you've made your decision."

The divine healer took a jade pendant from his person and handed it to Ye Li:

"This is a token of the Cangyun Mu family. Your medical skills have greatly improved and you are ready to graduate. If you encounter any difficulties on your journey, you can take out this and it will help you get through them safely."

Ye Li couldn't refuse her master's kind offer, so she finally accepted it.

Seeing her packing her luggage in a flustered and anxious manner, the old doctor, suddenly seized by a playful impulse, teased her while drinking:

"What, you're so eager to see that kid?"

Ye Li, embarrassed by her master's revelation, said:

"When I was a child, my dream was to travel the world; now, all I want to do is go home."

"Hahahahaha..."

The divine healer burst into laughter.

Ye Li was determined to leave.

The people in the general's mansion naturally obeyed her orders.

Everyone was on high alert, thinking that Prince Su Zhelan of Beichen had a backup plan.

Unexpectedly, Su Zhelan did not try to stop Ye Li from leaving.

Even some ministers who came to the palace to investigate the assassination wanted to detain the people of Tian Shu Kingdom, but Gu Qing stepped in and sent Ye Li and the others out.

The city gate.

Gu Qing stopped at the city gate, looking at Mu Nianchen with mixed feelings.

Finally, still trying her best, Gu Qing said to Ye Li with a distressed expression:

"If Miss Mu finishes dealing with the matter of Tian Shu, could you please come to Bei Chen as soon as possible? After all, that lady is being taken care of by Miss Mu, and I'm afraid others are not as familiar with her as Miss Mu."

Ye Li nodded and said, "Since I've taken your money, I'll naturally get it done for you. I'll head back now, see you later!"

Gu Qing bowed respectfully: "Please take care, young lady."

Ye Li turned around and returned to the carriage, while Li Siyi drove forward.

Finally, it's time to go back!

Ye Li was overjoyed.

I wonder how Mo Chen is doing now?

Now that I can speak, he... should like my voice, right?

Ye Li looked at the ring on her hand, a sweet feeling welling up in her heart. She smiled gently, knowing that Mo Chen would be very happy.

Hopefully, it's not too late...
