Phoenix Dance: The Eldest Daughter's Physician Consort Shocks the World

The days after their marriage were peaceful and sweet. Every day after court, Xiao Yichen would rush back to his residence to share the affairs of the court and interesting stories from the streets with Su Yao. Su Yao would always listen with a smile, sometimes pouring him a cup of hot tea, and sometimes gently tidying his clothes.

One day, Xiao Yichen returned home with a worried look on his face. Su Yao's heart tightened when she saw him, and she quickly went to greet him: "Yichen, what happened? You look so worried."

Xiao Yichen pulled Su Yao's hand and sat down, sighing softly, "Yao'er, the court appears calm on the surface, but undercurrents are surging. The border war is critical, yet no one in the court is willing to volunteer to lead the army. I am eager to serve my country, but I can't bear to leave you behind..."

Su Yao looked at Xiao Yichen with a determined gaze: "Yichen, you don't need to worry about me. Although I am a woman, I understand the importance of family and country. If you want to go, then go. I will guard our home from the rear and wait for your triumphant return."

Xiao Yichen hugged Su Yao tightly: "Yao'er, I feel relieved to hear your words. But going to the frontier is uncertain, so you must promise me that you will take good care of yourself."

A few days later, Xiao Yichen stood majestically on the training ground, clad in battle armor, as Su Yao came to see him off.

"Yichen, you must come back safely. My unborn child and I will be waiting for you." Su Yao gently stroked her slightly protruding belly, her eyes filled with reluctance and worry.

Xiao Yichen was startled, then overjoyed: "Yao'er, you're pregnant with our child? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Su Yao smiled and said, "I don't want to distract you. Just go and fight with peace of mind. I will take good care of myself and the baby."

Xiao Yichen nodded solemnly, turned around, mounted his horse, and led the army on a grand march toward the border.

Life on the frontier was incredibly tough, and Xiao Yichen worked tirelessly day and night, both commanding battles and calming the troops. Meanwhile, Su Yao, in the capital, kept a close eye on the news from the front. Using her medical skills, she opened a clinic in the city, providing free medical care to the families of wounded soldiers, doing her part to support Xiao Yichen.

However, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. The enemy suddenly launched a fierce attack, and Xiao Yichen's army was caught in a predicament.

During a fierce battle, Xiao Yichen was accidentally wounded and surrounded by enemy troops. At the critical moment of life and death, he looked towards the capital, silently thinking of Su Yao and their unborn child, and vowed to return alive.

Meanwhile, Su Yao sensed the danger posed by Xiao Yichen in the capital. Anxious and worried, she decided to go to the frontier to find him.

"Madam, you are pregnant now and it is not advisable for you to travel far!" the maidservant anxiously advised.

Su Yao's expression was firm: "No, I must go. I can't just stand by and watch Yi Chen be in danger."

Despite everyone's objections, Su Yao embarked on the arduous journey to the frontier. Along the way, she endured hardships and slept in the open, but she had only one belief in her heart: to find Xiao Yichen.

Finally, Su Yao arrived near the border battlefield. She inquired about Xiao Yichen's whereabouts and learned that he was besieged by enemy troops in a valley.

Disguised, Su Yao infiltrated the enemy camp and, with her wit and medical skills, successfully found the injured and unconscious Xiao Yichen.

"Yichen, wake up, it's me, Yao'er, I'm here to save you." Su Yao called out softly to Xiao Yichen, her eyes filled with tears.

Xiao Yichen slowly woke up and saw Su Yao. He was both touched and heartbroken: "Yao'er, why are you here? It's too dangerous here."

Su Yao smiled and said, "I said we would live and die together."

Under Su Yao's meticulous care, Xiao Yichen's injuries gradually improved. Together, they devised a breakout plan, utilizing Su Yao's knowledge of the enemy camp to successfully lead the remaining soldiers out of the encirclement.

Back at camp, Xiao Yichen reorganized the army, greatly boosting morale. In the ensuing battles, they won repeatedly, finally repelling the enemy and safeguarding the peace of the frontier.

When Xiao Yichen returned in triumph, the people of the capital lined the streets to welcome him. The Emperor personally went out of the city to greet him, highly praised Xiao Yichen, and appointed him as the General Who Guards the Nation.

Xiao Yichen and Su Yao returned to their residence, looked at each other's weathered yet resolute faces, and embraced tightly.

"Yao'er, I owe you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I would probably be dead by now," Xiao Yichen said affectionately.

Su Yao gently shook her head: "We are husband and wife, and we should share joys and sorrows. In the future, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together."

From then on, the story of Xiao Yichen and Su Yao became a legend passed down by people. Their love grew stronger and stronger with the passage of time, becoming the most beautiful story in the world.
