The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 374 Du Wan didn’t dare to provoke him

The southwest rebels sent a letter of surrender before they started fighting.

Mu Si'an was in a trance all day long.

Some people once questioned whether it was a strategy of the rebels. Mu Si'an just looked at the man deeply, sent him far away, and then arranged for someone to take over the rebels in Moding County.

Haven’t he, Mu Si’an, ever suspected of fraud?

 Of course it has been verified a long time ago!

When Mu Si'an went to regain Moding County, he also heard a gossip. He heard that a woman climbed into Tu Zuo's bed. At that time, the woman shouted that she was Nanyang Bo's daughter, but no one took it seriously. After Tu Zuo played with it, He gave her to a group of subordinates.

They couldn't control it for a while and tortured people to death.

The people Mu Si'an brought proved that the woman was Wang Jin'er who had been exiled for three years.

Because of this incident, Tu Zuo wanted to flee with a group of confidants, but was shot dead by the imperial army on the way.

 This news reached Taichu County several days later.

Du Wan was stunned when he heard this.

Wang Jin'er died like this?

 She guessed the reason, but said nothing.

 She has been taking care of Pei Hao these days.

Pei Hao's situation is getting better day by day, which makes Du Wan relax a lot.

Du Wan sat in front of the bed and fed Pei Hao some medicine. "The old doctor said this morning that in three or four days, you will be able to ride a carriage. By then we can leave Taichu County and return to Beijing."

“Sian should come over then, we don’t have to leave in a hurry.”

“…That’s right.” Du Wan slapped her forehead.

I have been so busy these days that I didn’t even think of this.

Pei Hao didn't tell the little girl that he was the commander-in-chief, and he had to return in triumph even if he wanted to leave. He also had to report to the court and obtain the emperor's permission before he could return to the capital. It has to be said that Du Wan really didn't think of this. She thought that he was seriously injured and it was normal for him to return to Beijing to recuperate. The rest of the things could be left to Mu Si'an.

There was a guard outside and hurried over to report, "Your Majesty, Lord Mu is here."

Pei Hao, who was in the room, had not yet said anything to let people in.

Mu Si'an had strode into the room with worry and eagerness on his face. When he saw Pei Hao lying on the bed, his expression was not bad, and he finally let go of his raised heart. At this time, he looked at Du Wan was sitting in front of the bed, "Ah Hao, I heard that you were seriously injured. How are you now?"

"Much better." Pei Hao said with a faint smile.

Mu Si'an then saluted Du Wan and said, "I have met the princess."

"It came very quickly. I thought it would take two days for you to arrive." Du Wan calculated the time and felt that it would be two days at the earliest.

Mu Si'an was ashamed, "I rushed here after hearing the news."

“Have you met Qiao Qi?” Pei Hao asked about business.

Mu Si'an said, "Not yet, I will come directly to see you when I enter Taichu County."

Pei Hao said again: "Well, then you go to see Qiao Qi and capture Pei Chen when you see him. However, it has been so many days. If Pei Chen was not stupid, he would have escaped long ago."

 “I will send someone to catch him.”

Mu Si'an didn't stay long. He only talked for half a quarter of an hour and then left in a hurry.

Pei Hao can't do it himself now, and Mu Si'an often has to deal with it. However, when Mu Si'an left, he left an army to protect Pei Hao.

Du Wan didn’t say anything when she found out.

 It is better to have someone to protect you than no one to protect you.

Du Wan looked back at Pei Hao and found that Pei Hao was looking at her intently, thinking that he was going to relieve himself or something, "What's the matter? Do you want to call Hu San in?"

 “No, I’m hungry.”

“Oh, what do you want to eat? I’ll go look for it in the kitchen.”

 “Anything is fine, as long as it’s not porridge.”

  …” But you can only drink porridge, which is what the old doctor specially ordered. Du Wan knows that if you eat porridge every day, you will still get tired of it even if you eat it in different ways.

 But isn’t there nothing we can do?

Du Wan thought for a while and said, "How about asking the kitchen to cook you a bowl of clear soup noodles?"

"Okay, it's better than eating porridge." Pei Hao took a back seat.

Du Wan stood up immediately, "Then I'll go to the kitchen."

 The prince woke up recently and didn't know what was going on. He had to eat four or five times a day. It's just that the old doctor said that it is a blessing for sick people to eat it, which is good for physical recovery. Therefore, Du Wan did not stop him, and his complexion was indeed getting better day by day.

Pei Hao looked at the back of the little girl walking out, his eyes full of tenderness.

His health has improved a lot and he no longer feels pain. She also watches over him almost every day and takes good care of him.

It was something he didn't even dare to think about before.

 It’s just that people are greedy.

 When you have nothing, you want to get a little bit.

 After getting a little, you will want more...

Du Wan went to the kitchen and personally watched a guard of the Pei family make a bowl of plain noodles. Originally there was nothing, but she specifically asked him to add some vegetables and beat an egg.

 Don’t ask why the guards want to be cooks? Mainly because Hu San was worried that Pei Hao's food would pass through the hands of outsiders, and there happened to be a guard with good cooking skills, so he temporarily requisitioned him.

Du Wan went back with the noodles.

Seeing Hu San help Pei Hao up and sit back on the bed.

Du Wan put the noodles on the table, and Hu San brought a basin of water and a clean handkerchief to wash Pei Hao's hands.

Pei Hao asked Hu San to retreat.

Du Wan asked, "Can you eat noodles by yourself?"

Pei Hao hesitated for a moment, "...Okay, how about I give it a try?"

“Okay.” Du Wan brought the noodles to him and asked him to pick up his chopsticks and eat them.

Pei Hao tried to catch the big bowl.

As a result, he almost lost his balance. Fortunately, Du Wan reacted quickly and caught the bowl again.

 The noodle soup spilled a little, and Du Wan was so frightened that he quickly put the bowl away for fear of burning his hands.

Pei Hao looked at her innocently.

Du Wan said: "Forget it, let me feed you."

“That’s… thank you for the hard work.” Pei Hao said apologetically.

 “If it’s not hard, why would this be hard?” Du Wan was worried that he would overthink it, so she quickly comforted him.

 Sick people are the most sensitive and prone to overthinking.

Du Wan once saw a male patient in the hospital who had just come out of the operating room despite having a gastric perforation. He still tried desperately to pull out the intravenous needle because his wife complained about him. The words were not unpleasant, just scolding. He drinks every day and insists on drinking if he doesn't want to.

Du Wan didn’t think his wife was wrong at that time.

But that man was just too sensitive to think too much, and felt that his wife's dislike of him was a drag. He also said that he would be better off dead...so pretentious.

Du Wan unconsciously substituted Pei Hao for it.

 So, I took care of him very carefully and did not dare to irritate him. It was as if she would give him whatever he asked for, and she would pick the moon from the sky for him.

Du Wan carefully fed Pei Hao to finish the noodles.

She handed over the handkerchief carefully, and when he didn't pick it up, she wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth with her hands as if she had a sudden realization. She didn't know that every time she wiped it, Pei Hao would look deeper into her eyes.
