Warm medicine emits fragrance

Chapter 240 Going to the Battlefield

Upon hearing this, Fan Liuer's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly asked, "Qi Weiming has fallen into a trap? Is he alright?"

Li Qiuping shook his head, "It takes three days for the news to get here, and we still don't know what the situation is over there."

Fan Liu'er's heart tightened. "How can Li Chenbi go in such a dangerous situation? What will happen to his health?"

Li Chenbi needed to take medicine every day, but where could he find the medicinal juice to mix with his medicine after going to the battlefield?

Li Qiuping sighed slightly, "I can only take the medicine and the wet nurse with me. It's an emergency, there's nothing I can do about it."

Fan Liuer knew that if Li Qiuping said there was no way, then Li Chenbi must also be unable to refuse this matter, and she couldn't help but worry.

"He doesn't like other people's drinks..."

Li Qiuping was indeed anxious and interrupted Fan Liuer, "It's alright, Madam. During the time you were away, the Master also got through it."

Fan Liuer felt a slight pang in her heart, and an indescribable sadness welled up inside her. She suppressed those emotions, turned around and walked into the inner room. "I'll get him some clean clothes, and you go to the pharmacy to get his medicine."

Li Qiuping responded and hurriedly walked out.

Siqing and Li Yuhe followed them into the inner room.

Siqing quickly comforted her, "Sister Liu, don't worry too much. Master is a strategist, not a general. He won't be in any trouble if he doesn't go to the battlefield."

Li Yuhe chimed in, "That's right, that's right. Besides, Second Uncle is so smart, he'll be fine."

Fan Liuer tried to comfort herself in this way, but it was no use.

She had never felt so panicked before; her heart felt like it was suspended above a bottomless abyss, unable to rise or fall.

She quickly packed Li Chenbi's change of clothes, and while tying them, she thought for a moment and stuffed one of her own clothes inside.

As soon as she finished packing, Li Qiuping came over carrying two large rattan trunks. Fan Liuer was shocked again, "Taking so much medicine, how long will it take?"

"It's hard to say, but it's better to have something in hand than nothing," Li Qiuping said. As he spoke, he moved the two rattan trunks to one hand and reached out his free hand to Fan Liuer. "Madam, give me the bundle."

Fan Liuer gripped the bundle tightly. "I'll go with you."

Li Qiuping was greatly alarmed upon hearing this. "Madam, the journey is arduous, and the military camp is full of men. It will be inconvenient for you to go..."

"I'll go see him off," Fan Liuer interrupted him.

She had no intention of going to the military camp. She knew that she wouldn't be of much help and would only cause trouble for Li Chenbi.

Li Qiuping breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. If the master sees you seeing him off, he'll be very happy."

"I'm going to see my second uncle off too," Li Yuhe quickly said.

"Then let's hurry up and go, the general is urging us to leave."

The group hurriedly left. Before leaving, Fan Liuer instructed the servants not to spread the news of Li Chenbi going to the battlefield and not to let the old lady know.

If the old lady knew, she would probably worry. She has been through too much this year and cannot bear any more shocks.

When they arrived at the prefect's residence, a group of people were already waiting in front of the gate.

Li Chenbi stood at the gate of the mansion waiting for Li Qiuping to arrive.

When he saw that Li Qiuping was not alone, but was followed by a carriage, he guessed what was going on in his mind.

He stood still, watching the carriage approach and stop not far from him. He watched as Fan Liuer, wearing a veiled hat, stepped out of the carriage and walked quickly toward him.

When Fan Liuer walked up to him, he smiled.

Fan Liuer scolded him, "You can still laugh."

She was so worried.

Li Chenbi reached out and pulled her into his arms, lifted her veil, buried his head in her neck, and took a deep breath of her scent before speaking: "I'm very happy that you came to see me off."

Fan Liuer actually had a lot she wanted to tell him, but at this moment, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

She reached out and wrapped her arms around his back, speaking in a muffled voice, "Take care of yourself and don't get into trouble. I don't want to be a widow again."

Li Chenbi smiled and released her. "Don't worry, I won't give you the chance to marry someone else. The day I come back will be our wedding day."

Fan Liuer's eyes were a little hot. She was never a person who liked to cry. Apart from the deaths of her parents and Wei Nian, she seemed to have never cried again.

But this time, Li Chenbi was still standing there unharmed, and before anything had even happened, she already felt like crying.

"Li Chenbi, I really don't want to be a widow anymore. I finally made up my mind to marry you, and you can't break our promise, you know that?" Her voice was already choked with sobs.

Li Chenbi felt heartbroken upon hearing this, but more than anything, he felt relieved.

At this moment, he realized that Fan Liuer truly liked him, cared about him, and held him in her heart.

He raised his hand, his fingertips gently stroking her cheek, and said in a hoarse voice, "Please don't cry, or I won't want to go."

Fan Liuer sniffed, looked up, and said, "Don't cry, I'm not crying."

Li Chenbi was amused by her again, cupped her face, and kissed her hard on the cheek. "Be a good girl and wait for me to come back."

After saying that, he released Fan Liuer.

If you don't let go, he really doesn't want to leave.

Fan Liuer followed closely behind him, only then realizing that there were only five or six horses. She quickly grabbed Li Chenbi, "Is this all the people going?"

These people aren't there to rescue people, they're clearly...

Li Chenbi patted her hand, "General Yan led the main force away first, I'll go catch up with them later."

Fan Liuer was relieved and let go of his hand, watching him mount his horse.

Li Chenbi, seated on his horse, waved to her, "Go back now, I'll be back as soon as possible."

Fan Liuer didn't leave; she stood there watching Li Chenbi and his group walk away and disappear from sight.

Tears only fell from my eyes when I could no longer see them.

Li Yuhe and Siqing stepped forward and comforted her at the same time.

"Don't worry, Sister Liu, Master will definitely be alright," Siqing said softly.

Fan Liuer didn't respond. She didn't want to talk at the moment. She just felt empty inside. It was as if a piece of her heart had been ripped out when Li Chenbi left.

Siqing didn't go home that night; she stayed at the Li residence with Fan Liuer.

The two lay in bed, and Fan Liuer opened her eyes and stared at the familiar bed curtains, feeling an even stronger sense of emptiness in her heart.

"Siqing," she said softly.

"I'm here." Siqing took her hand from under the covers.

I miss him a little.

Even though the two had only been separated for less than a day, Fan Liuer had already started missing Li Chenbi, something that had never happened before.

Fan Liuer then said, "I used to like him too, so why didn't I before?"

Siqing thought for a moment and then said, "Perhaps you never included Grandpa in your future plans before, and you were convinced that you would break up sooner or later."

"And now that you've already included me in your future life, you naturally can't bear to part with me."
