Stepping out of the tent, Jiang Changbai looked around and finally saw Ye Xiao at the entrance of Xiao Nanye’s tent.

Seeing her, Jiang Changbai hurriedly asked, “Ye Xiao, where is lluan Er?”

Hearing Jiang Changbai’s words, Ye Xiao subconsciously looked at the tent behind her.

Following her gaze, Jiang Changbai couldn’t help but ask, “Is Huan Er inside?”

“Eldest Miss was worried about His Highness’s injuries, so she came over.”

“Has she been there all night?”

Ye Xiao did not say anything but nodded.

Seeing her nod, Jiang Changbai’s face changed immediately.

Although the two were already engaged, and although Xiao Nanye was injured and couldn’t actually do anything to Jiang Peihuan, and although Xiao Nanye often visited the Palm Garden at night when he was in the capital.

Still, Jiang Changbai walked forward with rage in his eyes. As he prepared to lift the curtain, Han Feng stopped him.

“What are you doing? Move aside.”

“Young General, my master is still injured. Please come back later.”

Han Feng’s eyes were full of appeasement, but Jiang Changbai ignored him completely. Thinking of Jiang Peihuan spending the whole night in Xiao Nanye’s tent, he felt as if his heart was on fire.

“Move aside, or don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Seeing that Jiang Changbai was really going to fight him, Han Feng hurriedly stepped aside.

Master, I have tried my best.

After Han Feng stepped aside, Jiang Changbai stepped forward and pulled open the curtain. However, the scene before him stunned him.

Jiang Peihuan was lying on the bed with a blanket covering her body. Xiao Nanye was sitting on a chair at the side, only wearing a coat.

Hearing the noise, Xiao Nanye immediately opened his eyes.

Seeing that Jiang Changbai was about to speak, Xiao Nanye immediately gave him a warning look. Seeing the man’s expression, Jiang Changbai subconsciously shut his mouth.

Xiao Nanye glanced at the person on the bed. His eyes were filled with gentleness. He gently placed Jiang Peihuan’s exposed hand under the blanket, and only then did he walk out.

With every step Xiao Nanye took, he felt a sharp pain from his wounds, but the man was in a good mood.

Last night, when he opened his eyes and saw Jiang Peihuan, Xiao Nanye almost thought he was dreaming. Only when the pain from his injuries struck him did he realize that Jiang Peihuan had really come.

He carefully moved Jiang Peihuan to the bed, and even then, she did not wake up, showing how truly exhausted she was.

“Your Highness, are your injuries alright?” Jiang Changbai asked worriedly, looking at Xiao Nanye’s retreating figure.

Having witnessed that scene, Jiang Changbai had to admit that Xiao Nanye had truly fallen for his sister.

Hearing his words, Xiao Nanye shook his head and softly said, “It’s fine, just some minor injuries. They will heal in a few days.”

With a few words, Xiao Nanye sent Jiang Changbai away and then walked back into the tent.

Jiang Peihuan didn’t wake up until much later in the morning.

“Huan Er, are you awake?”

Seeing Jiang Peihuan open her eyes, Xiao Nanye immediately approached.

Jiang Peihuan had slept for too long. If Ye Xiao had not repeatedly said that she was just too tired, Xiao Nanye would have woken her up.

Jiang Peihuan felt the softness under her and realized that she was lying on Xiao Nanye’s bed. She was stunned and looked at Xiao Nanye. She couldn’t help but say, “1 remember that 1 came last night to check your wounds. How did 1 end up in bed?”

“Huan Er, you’ve worked hard this time.”

The man didn’t answer Jiang Peihuan’s question directly, but instead looked at her warmly and said softly.

Jiang Peihuan was stunned for a few seconds before she said softly, “My father, mother, and brother are all military soldiers. These are all things that I should do.”

“Master, the breakfast is here.”

As Xiao Nanye was about to speak, he saw Han Feng walk in with the breakfast.

It had been several days since he last tasted breakfast. Since Jiang Peihuan had brought food, they couldn’t naturally let the soldiers go hungry any longer.

Of course, that didn’t mean they could eat whatever they desired.

At this moment, what Han Feng brought in was nothing more than two bowls of plain porridge, a few steamed buns, and two small dishes. This simple meal was unique to Xiao Nanye; no one else in the camp had such a breakfast.

Han Feng placed the food on the table, bowed to Xiao Nanye and Jiang Peihuan, and then left.

Looking at the food on the table, Jiang Peihuan frowned.

These foods had little nutrition and were not conducive to Xiao Nanye’s recovery. But they were currently in the military camp, and there was no other choice.

However, Xiao Nanye himself didn’t mind. He picked up a steamed bun and was just about to pass it to Jiang Peihuan when he suddenly froze; the wound was near his heart, and moving carelessly might exacerbate the injury.

“Don’t move, I can do it myself,” she hurriedly said, seeing the man’s frowning face. She then quickly took the steamed bun from his hand.

Seeing that Xiao Nanye was about to pick up the soup spoon, Jiang Peihuan held down his hand.

Facing the man’s puzzled expression, Jiang Peihuan whispered, “You shouldn’t exert force now. I’ll have Flan Feng feed you.”

As she said this, Jiang Peihuan was preparing to call Han Feng in, but Xiao Nanye grabbed her hand and said, “No.”

The man’s eyes were full of resistance. Seeing the expression in his eyes, Jiang Peihuan couldn’t help but frown, “If you do it yourself, it will affect your wound.”

“Then you feed me.”

Upon hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Xiao Nanye unconsciously spoke out.

As soon as his words fell, both of them were stunned.

Xiao Nanye was already prepared for Jiang Peihuan to refuse, but after a moment of silence, she picked up the porridge from the table, and then took the utensils.

She first tested the temperature of the porridge with the back of her hand before bringing it to the man’s mouth.

Watching Jiang Peihuan’s actions, Xiao Nanye’s eyes were full of warmth.

After a moment of silence, he finally opened his mouth.

He had joined the army at a young age, and although Emperor Qi Ming had been very indulgent towards him, when he was seriously injured on the battlefield, he had always gritted his teeth and borne the pain alone.

This was the first time someone had taken such thoughtful care of him.

Seeing the man’s fervent expression, Jiang Peihuan dared not look at him and quickly fed him the porridge.

After he finished eating, Jiang Peihuan picked up a steamed bun.

The tent was very quiet but harmonious.

However, this harmony was quickly broken by the sound of horns outside. The two exchanged glances and stepped out of the tent together.

At this moment, Han Feng stepped forward, “Master, the people from the Chujiang Mansion are challenging us outside.”

“I will go,” Jiang Changbai emerged from his tent, dressed in military attire.

Since Xiao Nanye was injured, he was the natural choice to step out and fight in Xiao Nanye’s stead, but Jiang Changbai had only taken a few steps when Jiang Peihuan stopped him.

“Elder Brother, don’t go yet,” she said.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Jiang Peihuan continued, “In the next few days, no matter how much the people from the Chujiang Mansion boast and challenge us, we will not go out to fight..”
