I think my luck is turning around.

Upon hearing that the official's surname was Li, Li Yu immediately began to think. She started to screen every official with the surname Li, except for herself, because in her subconscious, she did not have the surname Li.

"Sister, shouldn't you be worried?"

Why should I be in a hurry?

Li Yu didn't understand Li Yue's actions. Why was she in such a hurry? What she cared about now was whether the Second Prince was a sickly beauty who was the dominant one or a sickly beauty who was the submissive one.

"You like the Second Prince! Shouldn't you be anxious?"

Li Yue's words startled Li Yu so much that he fell off his chair and to the ground. "How is this possible!"

Li Yu remembered the letter she had found in the military camp, so she took it out again. She read it one by one, and among the words of longing were expressions of concern for the other person's health. Li Yu placed the letter on the table.

Li Yue picked it up curiously and looked at it. She couldn't help but laugh. "Sister, you actually wrote a letter! Why didn't you send it to the Second Prince?"

"I was in the military camp at the time. Sending it out would definitely attract attention. Do you want the Second Prince to be accused of some fabricated crime?"

"That's right, then give it to the Second Prince now!"

Li Yue knew her sister's feelings and understood that the man the Second Prince loved was her sister, since her sister was still identified as a man. It was her mistake that led the Second Prince to discover her sister's true identity as a woman.

When we were studying together under Mr. Ji, it wasn't discovered, thanks to Mr. Ji's intentional cover-up. A few days before the expedition, the Second Prince came to drink with Li Yu. They had met in the military camp; the Second Prince had accompanied the Crown Prince to the camp that time and saw Li Yu there.

Later, they became drinking buddies, and the Second Prince was in a good mood and his physical condition was improving.

Before the expedition, the Second Prince came to invite Li Yu for drinks. After dismissing all the guards and servants, they began to chat. Li Yue came to find Li Yu and, seeing no one at the door and only Li Yu inside, called out to her sister to come in.

The second prince was shocked. Li Yue immediately fell silent upon seeing someone. This scene made Li Yu so embarrassed he wanted to die. Having his identity exposed in front of the person he liked, "Um, Second Prince..."

"Are you a woman?"

When asked, Li Yu didn't deny it, but the Second Prince seemed quite pleased. That expression quickly faded; he appeared genuinely happy about the matter.

"Yes, I'll keep it a secret."

"Thank you, Second Prince."

"It's fine."

"Sister, this is a talisman I got for you. I hope you return safely." Li Yue handed the talisman to Li Yu, and then quickly left, regretting her carelessness.

On the day of departure, Li Yue remained dejected. Li Yu comforted her, whispering in her ear, "Don't be so upset! Actually, I like the Second Prince. Don't tell anyone!"

Why would you like the Second Prince?

No matter what, brother must come back safely!

Li Yu didn't answer Li Yue'er's question, and Li Yue'er didn't care what the answer was, as long as her brother returned safely. But this time, the Li Yu who returned wasn't the Li Yu they were looking for, and he was even more unclear about who he liked.

Soon after, Gong Ken also learned about the Second Prince's sexual orientation. Gong Ken didn't care about anything else and went straight to Li Yu's residence, shouting, "Li Yu, come out here!"

Such shouting made the onlookers think that he was there to cause trouble, and that he was very bold. After all, it takes courage for someone to come to the general's mansion to cause trouble.
