My elder sister forced me to become a concubine; I was reborn and remarried into the emperor's

Wei Nanxun had been resting well these past few days. Pei Ji led his elite troops ahead, while she leisurely made her way to the capital with the military doctor and others.

The doctor's surname was You. He was forty-two years old this year. He looked very thin and had a refined and scholarly air. Unlike the burly soldiers in the camp, he always liked to wear a cotton long gown, giving him the feeling of a reclusive hermit.

It is said that he was once the descendant of a family of doctors, but unfortunately the medicine valley was attacked by mountain bandits.

His entire family of ten was wiped out, leaving only him and his young son. It was Pei Ji who led his soldiers to avenge his family.

He originally wanted to travel around to save people, but his son insisted on becoming a martial artist, especially admiring Pei Ji, and wanted to join the army to fight alongside Pei Ji.

This was the only relative he had left, so he had no choice but to stay.

Pei Ji's camp never kept idle people. The fact that he was allowed to stay, and even brought his son along, is enough to show how skilled Doctor You is.

His specialty is treating external injuries, especially sprains and bruises.

From the moment he saw Wei Nanxun, he knew she was a girl. No matter how convincing her appearance was, her Adam's apple and pierced ears clearly gave her away.

While treating her, they specially found a young girl from a nearby village to change her clothes and clean her wounds.

Doctor You has been following Pei Ji for six or seven years. Under the rule of Prince Su, military discipline is strict. Although there is no explicit rule that women cannot enter the camp, it is still possible to do so.

But everyone assumed that anyone who wanted to see their wife at home, or anyone who was not yet married and had such needs, had to leave the camp.

This was the first time he had seen a woman enter the camp, and he thought that even if she were bold, she could not disobey the prince's orders.

Unless, this woman is here to see the prince.

He observed that although the girl was disheveled, dressed in rags, and covered in wounds, her bone structure was excellent, and she was definitely not an ordinary woman.

When the filth was washed away and her true appearance was revealed, he was still surprised. He thought the prince was the most handsome person he had ever seen, but he never expected that this girl would have such a stunning beauty.

What he found even more unbelievable was that such a pampered and precious flower would be so badly injured for the sake of his prince.

She had seven or eight cuts on her body, each about the length of a finger, not to mention countless bruises and scratches.

There was even a lump on the back of his head; if he hadn't been lucky, he might have been unconscious.

Her legs and feet were scraped raw and bloody. Even a man would cry out in pain if he suffered such injuries, but she persevered and chased after them all the way from the capital.

This made Doctor You especially admire her. Seeing that she was about the same age as his own son, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

They took great care in the treatment and were very generous with the medications, even bringing out their secret formula, Jade Skin Cream, which won't leave scars.

I just didn't want such a beautiful young girl to have scars on her body.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the person ran away again shortly after the medicine was applied.

When the prince carried her back, all her wounds had reopened.

If it were any other patient, he would have driven them away and given up on them for being so ungrateful. But this young girl was doing it all for their prince, acting as if she didn't care about her own life.

I just couldn't bring myself to do it, so I resigned myself to my fate and reapplied the medicine to her.

For this reason, it was the first time he had spoken harshly to Pei Ji.

"Your Highness, I do not know your relationship with this girl, but please do not betray her sincere heart."

Even Doctor You didn't know that it was his words that made Pei Ji thoughtful, as he had never liked to show weakness.

For the first time, he wrapped his little injury several times, just so the little girl would see it and feel sorry for him.

Wei Nanxun, of course, was unaware of his little scheme and was quite taken in by it.

She usually stays in her tent and doesn't go out much. After all, there is a difference between men and women. It's already an exception that she can stay in the camp to recuperate.

When the camp was broken up and the troops set off, she stayed inside the carriage and did not get off until they reached the camp outside the capital.

They disguised themselves as a merchant caravan, with the soldiers being bodyguards, and she and Doctor You being uncle and niece, with her still dressed as a teenager.

Instead of staying at inns or post stations, they found a residence in a small town not far from the city gate. They claimed to be staying for a few days, but it was actually Pei Ji's private residence, which was very secluded.

She originally planned to go straight home, but Pei Ji's plan wasn't over yet. Her appearance was too obvious, so she didn't dare to move around, fearing that Pei Yuyan's spies would notice and cause the plan to fail.

She was bored during the day and didn't want to move around. Doctor You also told her to take good care of herself, so she spent most of her time reading on the couch.

Although Pei Ji didn't have much luggage, he carried a lot of books with him.

At first glance, she thought the books in the box were all military books, but when she picked them up, she found that most of them were local gazetteers and travelogues, as well as the local gazettes delivered daily.

The official gazettes weren't confidential; they were just interesting stories and secrets from various places. She treated them like folk tales, and these were real stories, which were much more interesting than fabricated ones.

Before Pei Ji set off, he told her all about his plans to put her at ease.

However, it didn't specify which day it was. So, when Pei Yuyan was captured, she had just finished reading the official gazette sent from the south a few days earlier and was planning to change her dressing and take a bath.

She hadn't been able to properly groom herself for quite some time. It was inconvenient in the remote wilderness before, and she had applied medicine to her body so it wasn't suitable for her to get wet.

Now that we're all right under the walls of the capital, we have everything we need.

Her wounds have started to scab over, and if she's careful not to let them get wet, they should be fine.

The maid she had hired earlier brought hot water and poured it into the bathtub, then she sent someone outside to keep watch.

Although Pei Ji's men are all very disciplined and wouldn't barge into the house recklessly, apart from Doctor You, no one knows she's a woman. Who knows what might happen? It's better to be safe than sorry.

Once everyone was out of the room, Wei Nanxun took off her outer garment and untied her bra.

The thing was so tight it made it hard for her to breathe, and she could only take it off when she slept. At that moment, two deep red marks were left on her snow-white skin.

This made her skin appear even more translucent and delicate.

Wei Nanxun raised one hand and untied the cloth covering her hair, revealing her long, black hair, which was as smooth and soft as silk.

She carefully stepped onto the stool and slowly sat down in the bathtub.

The long-awaited warmth enveloped her entire body, and in that instant, it was no exaggeration to say that every pore on her body seemed to open up.

Wei Nanxun let out a comfortable sigh, leaned back against the edge of the bathtub, closed her eyes, and let the hot water soak over her body.

After soaking for about fifteen minutes, she dared not soak any longer. She took a cloth and gently wiped the wound, avoiding the area around it.

Although I really enjoyed the comfortable feeling, soaking for too long would affect the wound, so I had to quickly wipe it off and stand up.

The doors and windows inside were tightly closed, and all that could be seen was wisps of white mist. She was like a lotus emerging from the water, with countless crystal-clear water droplets constantly dripping down from her head.

She was facing away from the window, about to grab the edge of the bathtub to get out.

I felt a soft sound behind me, followed by a gust of wind.

Wei Nanxun subconsciously turned around and saw a tall figure push open the window and nimbly climb in.

Their eyes met, and her face, already flushed from the heat, turned bright red instantly. She suddenly threw the cloth in her hand at him.

"Shameless, you filthy scoundrel!"

Pei Ji: ...
