An Ruowan glanced at him, "You are the thug protecting me now. If you don't go to the border with me, where do you want to go?"
"I……"
Bai Yu and his friends didn't expect that a woman like An Ruowan would send troops to the border with the army!
"The border is full of sand and rocks, and there are many wars. What can you do as a woman at the border?"
Bai Yu said to An Ruowan, "It's better to stay in the capital and investigate the plague."
"If you want to investigate this matter, you should always investigate it from the source."
An Ruowan looked at Bai Yu and narrowed her beautiful eyes, "What's wrong with the woman? Can't a woman govern the country, march and fight in wars?"
"If it weren't for me, a woman, you would have died in that dense forest long ago. Can you stand here and talk to me?"
Bai Yu touched the tip of his nose, obviously knowing that he had said the wrong thing, "You are different from other women..."
"It's no different, it's just that I can carve out a world for myself."
An Ruowan's expression calmed down, "Some people can only be trapped in one world in this life. It's not that they don't want to, it's just that it's very difficult for them as women, and it's difficult for them to walk on the ordinary road. How can we let them govern the country?"
"It's you men who put shackles on them, and it's you men who look down on them. It's not easy for women to be born in this world, but it's just to survive."
In her last life, she was like this, trapped in the house in a state of confusion.
After listening to An Ruowan's words, Bai Yu was silent for a long time, and then looked at An Ruowan with guilt and seriousness.
"I just said the wrong thing. As a man, if it weren't for your words, I would never understand this matter from a woman's perspective."
Different from his previous disdain, Bai Yu took out a dagger from his arms and handed it to An Ruowan, "This is the Yangchun Blade. It can be used for self-defense when necessary."
The dagger was only the size of a palm. Bai Yu opened the silver scabbard with rubies on the outside, revealing a blade that was as sharp as clay inside!
"There is a mechanism here." Bai Yu opened his palm and showed An Ruowan a clear look. There was a piece of black obsidian inlaid on the handle of the dagger.
Whoosh!
As soon as Bai Yu pressed his finger here, the blade immediately popped out, connected by a thin chain, and the blade stuck straight into the ground!
He pressed the obsidian calmly again, and the blade was taken back.
"You don't know martial arts. If you meet bad people, they will lower their guard against you. You can use this dagger to deal with them."
Bai Yu handed the dagger to An Ruowan, "The border is dangerous, and even I can't guarantee your life, so just accept it."
I thought An Ruowan would shirk it, but Bai Yu's hand was empty!
An Ruowan held the dagger in her hand. The heavy feel made her raise her eyebrows, "You gave me such a good dagger?"
"This can be regarded as... my apology to you for my indiscriminate words."
An Ruowan put the dagger into his sleeve, "Okay, I won't argue with you about this matter this time. You go and get ready. We will set off in two days."
"good."
A few days after the Hundred Flowers Banquet ended, bad news came from the border, and the schedule for the army to raise troops was moved forward.
On the way to the border that day, An Ruowan didn't even ask Caihuan to help her dress up. She changed into clothes suitable for the journey and got on Gu Beichen's carriage outside the house.
Gu Beichen raised his eyes and saw that she was dressed in coarse linen clothes and had a bun tied with a hemp rope on top of her head. He was surprised for a moment.
"It doesn't look like you're going to practice medicine, but you look like you want to take root directly at the border."
An Ruowan didn't care and sat across from the kotami table, "If I can keep curing diseases and saving people, I won't come back until I come back."
Gu Beichen handed the teacup to An Ruowan's fingers, looked at her and joked: "If you don't come back, you don't want to be Princess Rong anymore?"
When he mentioned Princess Rong, An Ruowan raised her eyes and looked at Gu Beichen.
Looking at his handsome face, An Ruowan suddenly remembered that Princess Zhen wanted An Zhining to be his concubine.
Phew.
The smile she had held back that day burst out at this moment. An Ruowan pursed her lips, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Gu Beichen frowned slightly and looked at An Ruowan, "Why are you laughing?"
"I was just laughing. After the prince comes back from isolation, there may be an additional concubine in the house, maybe."
Hearing the teasing in An Ruowan's words, Gu Beichen raised his hand to support his forehead, "Why, you don't want to be a princess, so you want to be my king's concubine instead?"
"Then forget it. How dare I compete with my sister for the position of concubine?"
Gu Beichen frowned, "When did I ask her to be my concubine?"
"This matter was decided by Princess Zhen. My brother, who is related by blood, came to tell me specially."
An Ruowan put down the teacup and smiled at Gu Beichen, "The little girl would like to congratulate the prince on the birth of a concubine. When the time comes... she may even have a son."
Gu Beichen's eyes turned cold and he stared at An Ruowan with a faint smile, "An Ruowan, do you think teasing me is funny?"
"How dare my little girl tease the prince?"
An Ruowan blinked innocently, "This is the marriage arranged by Princess Zhen. What does it have to do with me?"
She held her chin up and looked at Gu Beichen, "Your Majesty, you won't blame me for this, right?"
Knowing that she was just watching his own show, Gu Beichen never felt that An Ruowan had offended him.
Gu Beichen's ghostly eyes swept over An Ruowan's face and fell out of the carriage window, "Since you moved in as the princess, your behavior has been very different from before."
An Ruowan bent her lips and smiled: "People change. After all, I am no longer the An Ruowan who was forced to marry into the Marquis Mansion and refused to resist."
Gu Beichen turned back and looked at her with some deep meaning.
The carriage swayed leisurely until it left the city, and no one spoke in the carriage.
After traveling about sixty miles, the army stopped and set up camp to rest here.
As soon as the tents in the camp were set up, things started to break out in front!
"This is the place where I sleep?! There's not even a bed here, how can I sleep?!"
Gu Qishen's domineering voice came from afar. An Ruowan got out of the carriage and looked in the direction of the distant voice.
Song Xunchuan directed the soldiers to set up camp, and walked to Gu Qishen with a riding whip, "Second Prince, we are setting up camp on the march. There are no beds, so you can make do with it first."
These words made Gu Qishen turn around and point his finger at Song Xunchuan, who cursed loudly, "I think you did it on purpose! You teamed up to deceive me!"
"If you feel cheated, it's not too late for the Second Prince to go back now!"
An Ruowan got closer, and a gentle and cold voice reached everyone's ears, "No one begged the second prince to go to the border!"
