A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

Chapter 450 - 450 Worry

450 Worry

“Of course. You live alone at Prince Jin’s residence. I don’t even know what happened. What if this happens again?” Ning Yue asked.

Jiang Ying’s heart warmed. He said to Ning Yue, “Yueyue, thank you.”

“Yueyue, are you going back, or are you going to rest here before going back?” Jiang Ying asked again.

Jiang Ying’s eyes were filled with worry. Ning Yue’s heart warmed when she saw this. She smiled and said, “I’d better go back. Don’t worry, I’m fine. I also rested when I was guarding you here.”

“It’s good that you rested. Yueyue, you have to take good care of yourself,” Jiang Ying said.

Ning Yue looked at Jiang Ying in confusion. Why did he remind her like this? Could it be that Jiang Ying was going on a long trip?

“Where are you planning to go?” Ning Yue asked Jiang Ying.

“Perhaps Brother will send me to Lingnan.” Jiang Ying sighed. If possible, he really did not want to go.

However, he could not refuse. The taxation issue in Lingnan was a serious problem. He had to resolve this matter so that the emperor could sit on that throne and be safe.

Hearing Ling Nan, Ning Yue instantly understood what Jiang Ying was thinking.

Since ancient times, the taxation issue in Lingnan had been a problem. Jiang Ying wanted to settle the matter in Lingnan and arrange for someone the emperor trusted.

“Whose territory is Lingnan now?” Ning Yue asked again.

“No arrangements yet, but it’s close to Uncle King Chu’s fief,” Jiang Ying said.

Hearing King Chu, Ning Yue instantly frowned. In other words, Jiang Ying’s trip was filled with danger.

Ning Yue sighed heavily. “Actually, I really don’t want you to go over there, but I know you won’t reject the emperor.”

Jiang Ying smiled and replied to Ning Yue, “Yes, because he’s my brother. There’s not much I can do for him. It’s my duty to help him sit firmly on the throne.”

“If possible, I really want to go with you,” Ning Yue said.

When Jiang Ying heard this, he quickly refused. “No, you can’t go with me. The two children still need you.”

It sounded like he was talking about the two children, but Ning Yue knew that Jiang Ying was worried about her.

If she went with Jiang Ying, those people might think that he had brought a woman to work and would have something against him. It would drag him down.

Moreover, those people would choose to attack her. In this way, she would be in much greater danger than Jiang Ying. This was something Jiang Ying did not want to see.

As the two of them chatted, time passed. Ning Yue glanced at the sky and said, “It’s getting late. Let’s go back.”

“Alright, let’s go back together.” The distance between Prince Jin’s residence and the Marquis Dingyuan’s residence was very close. The two of them discussed as they walked back.

When they returned home, everyone in the Ning family looked worried. When they saw Ning Yue and Jiang Ying return, they quickly asked, “How is he?”

“He’s fine. He has already recovered. By the way, Grandpa, how’s my master?” Ning Yue asked.

“Your master has already woken up. He knows that you rushed to Prince Jin’s residence after saving him. He blames himself,” Old Master Ning said.

“Where’s my master?” Ning Yue asked.

Actually, Ning Yue knew very well that Gu Yu did not feel guilty because she was too busy. Gu Yu should have realized that he had been given a blood transfusion.

She would tell Gu Yu about this now and ask him not to feel any psychological burden.

“He’s in the guest room. The emperor sent an imperial physician over,” Old Master Ning said.

“Alright, I’ll go see my master first before coming out to cook,” Ning Yue said.

When Madam Liu heard this, she quickly said, “Leave the cooking to me and your aunts. Rest well. You’ve been tired for two days!”

When Ning Yue heard this, her heart warmed. “I’m fine, Mother. I’ll go see my master first.”

“Oh, child!” Madam Liu looked at Ning Yue reproachfully.

After Ning Yue entered the guest room, she saw Gu Yu preparing the medicinal powder and hurriedly said to him, “Master, can’t you stay still when you’re injured? What else are you busy with?”

“Do you think your master is old and useless?” Gu Yu glared at her.

“I didn’t mean that. I meant that you have to rest well since you’re injured. Don’t affect the recovery of your wound,” Ning Yue said.

At the mention of the wound, Gu Yu felt guilty. “Yueyue, tell me honestly. How did you treat this wound?”
