I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

Chapter 178 - 178 Settling the Score Later!

178 Settling the Score Later!

King Gu Han, who had been so confident just now, was instantly speechless.

That’s right, he had yet to ask what the consort’s surname was!

“That’s not important! What’s important is that this woman has already promised me that she’ll marry me after returning to the palace with me!”

King Gu Han went all out.

Was the name important? What was important was that the person was in his hands now!

“That will have to wait until you can successfully bring her back to the royal court!” As Lu Ze spoke, the longsword hanging by his side was already drawn. In the next moment, he rode his horse towards King Gu Han.

King Gu Han was stunned. He expected that these people wouldn’t let him off so easily, but he thought that since the man in front of him mentioned his wife as soon as he spoke, it meant that he still cared about the woman in his arms!

Therefore, he would more or less have some scruples!

He said that he cared, but he attacked so arbitrarily. Wasn’t he worried… King Gu Han suddenly felt a pain in his chest…

Amidst his shock, he lowered his head and saw the young lady, who had not spoken a word since her husband appeared, holding the short knife she had used to cut meat slices. Half of the short knife had already pierced his chest.

King Gu Han subconsciously waved his hand and pushed the young lady, who was still protected by him, away. The man who had rushed over aggressively previously was no longer as fierce as before. Lu Ze reached out quickly and snatched the young lady away from him.

“As expected, I shouldn’t have underestimated you!” King Gu Han clutched his chest as he looked down at the dagger that had yet to be pulled out. He looked up at Lin Suisui and chuckled. “You have to remember the promise you gave me!

As long as I can successfully bring you back to the palace, you have to marry me and become my consort!”

As soon as he finished speaking, King Gu Han didn’t pester them anymore. He turned his horse around and led the remaining northern barbarian warriors towards the border.

Lu Ze arranged for people to pursue them for a while before making way for King Gu Han, who successfully escaped with less than ten people.

With the last bit of her strength, Lin Suisui looked up at Lu Ze and forced a smile before completely losing consciousness…

When Lin Suisui opened her eyes again, she realized that she was already in the familiar ox cart. She looked around and wanted to sit up, but she realized that her entire body was limp and she couldn’t exert any strength.

Little White, who was lying beside her, sensed her movements. It stood up and howled in the direction of the carriage door. As expected, Lin Suisui heard hurried footsteps. In the next moment, Lu Ze lifted the curtain and entered the carriage.

“How long have I been asleep for?!” Lin Suisui originally didn’t want to pay attention to Lu Ze, who had secretly abandoned her previously, but seeing his unshaven and haggard appearance, she couldn’t bring herself to complain.

She could only change the topic in a hoarse voice.

“Five days.” Lu Ze was silent for a moment before answering her in a low voice, “You were unconscious for five days. Fortunately, you’re finally awake now.”

Lu Ze made it sound simple, but in fact, only he knew what had happened in the past five days.

Along the way back to the refugee camp, she had a high fever, vomited, and had diarrhea. She couldn’t even drink medicine. Pei Qian was worried about the medical officers from the patrol camp treating her, so he rode to the nearest city in a hurry to kidnap a doctor…

Lu Ze didn’t want Lin Suisui to waste any more energy. Seeing that she was still in a stable state and didn’t look delirious, like she had been for the past few days, he suggested, “Mrs. Luo made shredded chicken porridge. I’ll bring you a bowl.”

“Alright.” Lin Suisui nodded. Thinking of what she had eaten along the way and how she could finally drink a bowl of warm porridge now, she sobered up.

Lu Ze turned around and went out. Not long after, he returned. In addition to the shredded chicken porridge he mentioned, there was also a warm handkerchief that had just been wrung out. He first carefully wiped Lin Suisui’s face to make her feel a little more comfortable before reaching out to help her lean against the big pillow behind her. Then, he picked up the porridge bowl at the side and began to feed her.

Lin Suisui ate in a hurry, but Lu Ze fed her very slowly. The little girl couldn’t help but reach out to tug at Lu Ze’s sleeve with a pleading expression.

However, Lu Ze wasn’t soft-hearted at all. He only fed her about ten spoonfuls of porridge before moving the porridge bowl away.

“The doctor said that you injured your spleen and stomach previously. Now that you’ve just woken up, you can’t eat too much!” Lu Ze wiped the corner of Lin Suisui’s mouth with a handkerchief. Seeing the little girl staring at him with a plaintive expression, no matter how principled he was, he couldn’t hold it in anymore. He had no choice but to soften his tone and coax her in a low voice, “Wait a little longer. You can eat more later.”

The doctor said that it was best to eat small yet frequent meals now. Otherwise, if she ate too much at once, her spleen and stomach wouldn’t be able to take it.

“Don’t tell me you want to settle scores with me now?!” Lin Suisui pursed her lips. She had caused a lot of trouble this time. In order to prevent him from settling scores later, she decided to seize the opportunity to strike first.

At least, she could get rid of some of the blame!

“What scores?!” Lu Ze pretended not to know and didn’t intend to answer at this moment. The little girl in front of him was someone who could even cheat King Gu Han twice. For her to take the initiative to mention this at this moment, it was definitely impossible for her to admit her mistake and repent. She clearly planned to shirk responsibility and muddle through!

“Of course it’s because you lied to me and left me behind!” Lin Suisui blinked. She wasn’t surprised that Lu Ze played dumb and changed the topic.

Since he didn’t say anything, he shouldn’t blame her for striking first!

“You don’t know how afraid I was when I woke up and saw that there was no one around!

I had just crawled out of that hole when I encountered a lone northern barbarian soldier! Fortunately, Little White helped me so that we could kill that northern barbarian soldier together, snatch his horse, and escape.

I actually didn’t know where to run to at that time. Fortunately, Little White was able to chase in the direction you left in. I followed Little White all the way to catch up to you guys! If not for Little White, I might have gotten lost!”
