After He Ruochen coaxed Sheng Leng to sleep, he came out of the tent. He happened to meet Luo Yi who was coming back from Lincheng, and He Ruochen walked towards him.
He originally wanted to ask Luo Yi about that person's safety, but when he saw Luo Yi coming over with a more solemn look on his face than usual, he had a vague feeling that something was not good.
"Have you arranged the people?" He Ruojin didn't mince words with Luo Yi and asked him directly.
However, Luo Yi looked at the tent behind him with a rather strange expression. He came over and lowered his voice and said, "What, he ran away."
He Ruojin frowned: "Are you awake? Can you run away?"
"It can't be that fast. I heard the doctor say that it was difficult to even tell whether the person could be saved, let alone whether he would wake up. I thought he wouldn't wake up for a while, so I went out to inquire about the news. Who was it? When I came back, he was gone."
Luo Yi himself was also puzzled. He had repeatedly confirmed with the doctor that he only went out for a while after knowing that Li Yu couldn't move. How could he have thought that he really ran away.
After hearing what he said, He Ruochen's face sank slightly, and she asked again: "Did you send someone to look for it?"
"Looking for it. Didn't I find it? That's why I came back to find you. Have you told the princess about him?" Luo Yi thought he was already taking care of people, but now he has given away the savior of the little Princess Shengling. If you lose it, it would be a lie to say you are not panicking.
He Ruojin's face was cold, and she was silent for a moment before saying: "Continue to send people to look for him."
Luo Yi nodded, frowned, and couldn't help but ask him in a low voice, "Ruojin, I have a question for you, what about... Does this Li Yu know Princess Shengling?"
Hearing this, He Ruojin slowly raised her eyes to look at him, "Why do you ask that?"
Luo Yi plucked his hair, "That's right... when that guy was unconscious, he seemed to call Princess Shengling. It sounded like a very intimate nickname... "
He Ruochen's eyes were calm, and after a while he said: "I understand."
Luo Yi saw that He Ruochen didn't have any big reaction, so he didn't say anything more. He took the order and retreated.
But He Ruochen stood there without moving for a long time.
He discovered that he was not as gentleman as he thought.
Because when he thought that Li Yu once called Sheng Ling's nickname very intimately, he felt a dull pain in his heart, and there was no way to pretend that he didn't hear this.
He was even jealous, jealous of Li Yu, and hated that he couldn't appear in Sheng Ling's sight sooner.
…
In the next few days, the military situation on the front line became critical, and the emperor ordered He Ruojin to transfer troops from Lincheng to the city, and also asked him to protect Sheng Ling.
In this regard, Sheng Ling did not cooperate at all. She felt that she was fine and safe now. It was enough for Luo Yi and the others to look after her. There was no need for He Ruochen to stay for her. Therefore, Sheng Ling pulled him out early in the morning. He Ruojin persuaded him and said nothing to let him stay.
The war was at stake, and there was no reason for her to let a general from the North stay by her side. That would be too much of an inaction.
He Ruojin was already prepared to guard Sheng Ling, but he couldn't bear Sheng Ling's persuasion. Moreover, Sheng Ling was more stubborn than he thought and refused to let him stay, so He Ruojin had no choice but to obey. Although he had asked his subordinates to guard Sheng Ling, he was still afraid that something would happen to Sheng Ling.
Therefore, He Ruochen brought Sheng Ling into Lincheng to settle down, and asked the prefect of Lincheng to send officers and soldiers to guard Lincheng. Then he felt a little relieved, and after bidding farewell to Sheng Ling, he led his troops to The front line.
When He Ruochen left, Sheng Ling's eyes were still covered with gauze. He tried to open his eyes, but his eyes were still hazy and he couldn't see anything clearly.
She was panicking.
It was clear that Lincheng was far away from the battlefield, and it was clear that it was quiet here, so quiet that she couldn't feel the smoke, but she still felt uneasy.
She heard a noise coming from outside the door and groped in the darkness. As soon as she put her hand on the door, she heard a low voice reporting from the corridor outside, "Lieutenant General, the people sent by my subordinates have been found outside the city." The bloody clothes belong to... Li Yu."
