Chu Lian didn't eat much and quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks, but He Changdi ate three full bowls.

When Tang Yan left, Wenqing, who was serving in the room, had already sent everyone out. She even considerately closed the door, leaving the space for He Sanlang and Chu Lian.

Chu Lian saw that He Changdi finally put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked awkwardly.

"How's your injury?" Chu Lian glanced at He Changdi's lower body vaguely.

He Sanlang's body stiffened and he immediately reacted to Chu Lian's question. His ears, which were hidden under his black hair, were slightly red. His face was cold and stiff, and his thin lips slightly parted before he spat out a few words. "What do you mean? I'm not injured, and the remaining poison in my body has been cleansed. You don't have to worry about me."

After interacting with He Changdi for a few days, Chu Lian had already figured out some of He Changdi's personality. When she heard this, her forehead twitched. This crazy He Sanlang really wanted to save face and suffer. She already knew from Mo Chenggui that he would definitely be beaten by the military, so there was no need for him to hide it in front of her.

Chu Lian didn't expose the awkward He Sanlang on the spot. Instead, she personally took out a slender white porcelain bottle from a small wooden box and placed it in front of He Changdi. "I brought this from the capital. Miao Miao personally made it for external injuries. Grandmother has used it before, and she says it's even better than the medicine from the imperial palace."

He Changdi felt the heat from the tip of his ears to his neck. He didn't even look at Chu Lian as he stubbornly said, "My body is perfectly fine. Why did you give me medicine? Are you trying to curse me to get injured?"

Chu Lian was really speechless. She was clearly kind enough to give He Changdi the medicine that Godly Doctor Miao had specially prepared for her. It was fine if he didn't want it, but he even said she was cursing him!

Chu Lian's little face darkened. "If you don't want to use it, then take it back and give it to your brothers in the barracks. There are bound to be people who need this kind of external injury medicine in the barracks."

Hearing Chu Lian say this, He Changdi didn't say anything else. He reached out to take the bottle of ointment and stuffed it into his clothes. Although his face was still cold, he couldn't help but feel a trace of hidden sweetness in his heart.

Chu Lian didn't expect He Sanlang to be such an awkward man. Her original guilty feelings vanished after giving away the bottle of ointment.

She changed the topic to business. "He Sanlang, the situation in the Northern Region this time is urgent, so there are many things that I didn't tell you in detail before. I came to the Northern Region in person not only because Grandmother and Elder Brother are worried about you, but also because I want to find a medicine for Mother's illness."

He Changdi's restless heart suddenly froze when he heard this. No matter how good he was at hiding his emotions, he couldn't hide the shock and astonishment in his eyes when it came to his dearest parents. Chu Lian, who was staring at him, happened to see it.

Chu Lian's heart relaxed. It seemed that He Changdi, who appeared cold and indifferent in front of her, was not really a cold-hearted person. He also had things that he cared about. Such a person with flesh and blood was like a real living person.

He Sanlang stared into Chu Lian's eyes as if he wanted to see into her heart. He didn't dare to let go of the slightest emotion in her eyes, as if he could distinguish whether Chu Lian was telling the truth or not.

Although He Changdi only showed his emotions for a short time, it was enough to show his uneasiness. However, he quickly calmed down.

"Do you mean that you've found a doctor who can cure your mother's illness?"

At this time, Wenqing and Wenlan could also see that their master and his wife seemed to have something to say. Wenqing gave Wenlan a wink. The two of them quietly stood up, slightly bowed to Chu Lian, and quietly went out. They even tactfully closed the door for the young couple.

He Changdi moved his body slightly and turned to the side. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the petite figure sitting by the bed.

He felt that his throat was so dry that he couldn't say a word. In the end, he could only cough to hide his momentary guilt and discomfort.

Chu Lian gripped the hem of her clothes with both hands. It was difficult for her to speak. However, the two of them had finally met, and they were husband and wife. It wouldn't be good for either of them to keep misunderstanding each other. She could actually feel that He Sanlang's attitude towards her was much better than when they first got married.

With this thought, she gathered her courage and said in one go, "He Sanlang, I … I was wrong for not recognizing you before. I'll apologize first."

He Changdi's eyes, which had always been deep and emotionless after his rebirth, suddenly rippled because of Chu Lian's words. That beautiful ripple gradually spread until it rippled into his heart.

Chapter 142: Military Law

Chu Lian saw that he was still in a daze and didn't react. She was a little discouraged. She said quietly, "But you can't blame me for this. Who asked you to grow a beard? You're like a completely different person now. Forget me, even grandmother might not have recognized you!"

He Sanlang's ears were powerful. His five senses were much sharper than the average person's. No matter how quiet Chu Lian's mutterings were, they would probably fall into his ears.

He let out a low chuckle. It was hard to tell if he was happy or mocking her.

Chu Lian only heard him say, "So you're saying that you're in the right because you didn't recognize your husband?"

Chu Lian couldn't help but curse inwardly. Did this crazy jerk know how to speak? She had already put down her pride and apologized to him, but he didn't even say a word of forgiveness. Instead, he was actually mocking her.

Her emotions that had just calmed down were almost ignited by this jerk He Changdi again. Chu Lian took a deep breath of cold air and forced herself to calm down.

"He Sanlang, do you feel uncomfortable not arguing with me?"

He Changdi choked on her words. He pursed his lips and fell silent again.

Chu Lian rolled her eyes. What was going on? In the original novel, He Changdi was clearly a good-looking and caring man. How come when she came, he became a cold stone who only knew how to bully people?

The heavens couldn't play tricks on her like this.

Chu Lian didn't want to continue this topic with him.

Thinking about how he looked when he was poisoned and running a high fever, Chu Lian was a little worried.

Her leg was injured and she couldn't stand up. She could only raise her head to look at him and ask, "Is the poison completely gone?

When I examined you, I only found a wound on the side of your neck. I'm afraid the poison in your body came from an arrow from the Tuhun people. "

He Sanlang's thin lips moved before he replied, "It's not a big deal. It's just a normal poison. There won't be any residual poison left."

Hearing this, Chu Lian finally felt like a huge weight had been lifted from her heart.

No matter what, He Changdi was poisoned because he was trying to save her. If anything really happened to him, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"It's so late. Ask your brothers in the army to stay for dinner."

He Changdi glanced at this woman who finally looked a little like the little mistress of the He family. His heart warmed slightly, but his expression was still cold and hard.

"No need. My brothers and I are going back to the army camp immediately."

"Ah?

Go back now?

It's already dark outside. "Chu Lian was surprised and said what was on her mind.

This surprised both of them. After a moment, it was He Changdi who spoke first. His voice was less cold and hard. "You want me to stay?"

Chu Lian lowered her head. Even her neck was red.

She hurriedly said, "Since you guys are in such a hurry to go back, it must be because of military orders. You should leave earlier!

I'll ask Wenlan to prepare some food for you on the way. "

When He Changdi heard this, he was slightly disappointed. He said, "Take good care of yourself. I can't be in time to save you every time."

After saying this, He Changdi opened the door and left without looking back.

Chu Lian raised her fist and shook it at He Sanlang's back. This guy was about to leave, but he still wanted to piss her off. He really was crazy!

She was so angry.

When they saw He Changdi leave, Wenqing and Wenlan hurriedly ran in.

Chu Lian showed them the wound on her ankle. After thinking for a moment, she ordered, "Wenqing, go pack two undergarments for Third Young Master. Bring some jerky and alcohol too. Also, don't forget the antidote and alcohol we prepared before we came."

In order to bandage her wound, He Changdi had torn his undergarments. She didn't know if he had enough in the barracks.

Wenqing and Wenlan nodded as they remembered Chu Lian's words. Before they left, they looked at each other with happiness and craftiness in their eyes.

It seemed like their Third Young Mistress and Third Young Master had a good relationship.

Seeing how worried they were, they couldn't help but pack the things in a carriage for Third Young Master.

He Changdi went to the central room outside to inform Steward Qin. Then, he brought Xiao Hongyu and the others to get on their horses and travel through the night.

However, as soon as they got on their horses, Mo Chenggui and the family warriors also got on their horses. They were obviously going back with He Sanlang.

He Changdi frowned. He pulled the reins slightly and turned to look at Mo Chenggui. "Uncle Mo, take some people and stay here to take care of Third Young Mistress. Don't follow me to the barracks this time."

Although He Sanlang's tone was calm, there was a hint of displeasure in it. How could Mo Chenggui not sense it?

"Third Young Master, how can I do that? Old Mo was entrusted by the Matriarch to help Third Young Master!"

He Changdi looked straight at him. The young master in front of him was clearly only twenty years old, but Mo Cheng Gui felt that his cold eyes were intimidating. He didn't dare to look him in the eye. He seemed to see the power of his old uncle who had passed away many years ago.

"Uncle Mo, if you help me take care of Chu Lian, you will be helping me!"

Although Mo Chenggui wasn't very willing, since Third Young Master had spoken, he naturally couldn't refuse again and again.

"Yes, Third Young Master. This old servant understands."

Mo Chenggui waved his hand, and the family warriors dismounted. He Changdi also carried the bag that Chu Lian had someone prepare for him and rushed back to the barracks that night.

Mo Chenggui waited until He Changdi's figure disappeared into the dark alleyway of the small town before he turned back with a gloomy expression.

Beside him was his old comrade of many years, Huang Zhijian. Huang Zhijian had retired at the same time as him and had become a family warrior of the He family.

Their relationship was no different from that of real brothers.
