On the 19th of September, the sixteenth year of the calendar, the Prince Zhan led his army and went out to battle.

The Emperor led a hundred officials to the city gates to see them off. All the officials in the court were required to attend the ceremony to see the Prince Zhan off, and none of them would be granted leave.

Everyone knew how important Prince Zhan was to the Tian Sheng.

But aside from one person, Nangong Waner did not send him off.

After Prince Zhan finished drinking the wine that the Emperor passed to him, he turned his head around with a hint of nostalgia and glanced behind him.

Even after looking very far away, he did not see the figure of Nangong Waner sending him off. On the Prince Zhan's face, there was a trace of loneliness.

"Giddy up!" In the end, the Prince Zhan led the cavalry and left.

Although the Prince Zhan felt that Nangong Waner had woken up early in the morning, he still hoped that Nangong Waner would be able to see him off at the city gate.

"I'm not going, I'm so sleepy. Can't I wait for you at the mansion?" Nangong Waner twisted his body on the bed and rubbed his sleepy eyes, unwilling to get out of bed.

Since there was nothing Prince Zhan could do, and she didn't want to insist, she lightly kissed Nangong Waner. "Good girl, wait for me at the Duke's Mansion."

In fact, when Prince Zhan left the room, Nangong Waner laid on the bed and cried for a long time.

Some were patient, but there were also some that felt wronged.

It was noon when Ju Xiang came into the room to call Nangong Waner to eat. Ju Xiang was blaming him, "Miss, it's really outrageous that you're relying on the prince's favor. Today is the day of the prince's expedition, how can you not go to the city gate to send him off?"

Nangong Waner's mind did not seem to be working properly, as she was in a daze. She did not hear what Ju Xiang had said when he entered the room, but she could still faintly feel that someone had walked into the room.

"Aiya, Miss, since the prince has already left, then you can just do your best in the future. You don't have to blame yourself, right? Just lie there."

Ju Xiang talked nonstop, but Nangong Waner didn't have any big reactions. He just laid on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling of the bed.

Ju Xiang had a strange feeling, he sneaked closer to Nangong Waner and asked: "Miss, is the lunch placed in the room?"

"Oh, it's Ju Xiang." Nangong Waner forced a smile on his face. Just that, looking at his expression, it was as if Nangong Waner had just noticed Ju Xiang and heard his words.

Ju Xiang's heart suddenly tensed up: "Miss, what's wrong?" Ju Xiang didn't know what was wrong with Nangong Waner, but he could not help but be worried in his heart. He quietly bent his body closer to her, and asked, "Miss?" Ju Xiang stared at Nangong Waner's eyes very seriously, and called him lightly.

Nangong Waner replied with a smile, "Hmm?" His eyes seemed to float, looking in the direction of Ju Xiang, but it was as if he wasn't able to see what Ju Xiang's eyes were.

"Ugh …" Ju Xiang looked at Nangong Waner and was shocked. Ju Xiang's eyes were immediately filled with tears, Ju Xiang covered his mouth with his hands and resisted crying: "Miss, what's wrong with your eyes?" Ju Xiang pretended to be calm, but the voice that came out of his mouth was filled with a sobbing sound.

"Sigh, you've still discovered it." Nangong Waner's eyebrows curved into a smile, there was no trace of sadness in his tone, "I've already been pretending for so many days, it seems like my acting skills are really good."

Although Ju Xiang saw how calm Nangong Waner was and how strong of an excuse he could make, Ju Xiang's heart ached even more. "No wonder you stay in bed all day. Why don't you go and find a doctor?"

Nangong Waner slowly sat up, and gently patted Ju Xiang's shoulder with his hand. Instead, he comforted Ju Xiang, "You forgot, Lord Immortal Doctor, who lived in the Duke Palace a few days ago, is an immortal. He can't even cure my illness, so what can an ordinary doctor do?"

Ju Xiang cried even more fiercely. Her tears flowed like a mountain torrent, unstoppable, "Little … Elder sister … This can... What should I do … "Sure."

Nangong Waner patted Ju Xiang's shoulder again, "I'm fine, at least my current arm is still at my command."

Ju Xiang cried uncontrollably.

Nangong Waner comforted Ju Xiang for a while, thought for a bit, then called Liu Hong in and told him everything.

It turned out that a few days ago, although Nangong Waner had woken up from the poison, the poison had entered his body and his body had not been healed at all. In succession, Nangong Waner lost control of his body.

When Nangong Waner was giving his instructions, Ju Xiang cried again. Liu Hong was calm after all, his face was deathly pale without a trace of blood. However, he bit his tongue and did not cry at all.

"Princess, is there anything you need to tell us? "Princess, please speak." Liu Hong's voice was filled with pretence and pain.

"Look, Liu Hong is right. Immortal Doctor has tried to find a way to cure me, but now that I'm in pain, someone needs to bring me medicine. I don't want my body's affairs to be known, the two of you take turns on duty, always stay by my side. When I feel pain, you guys hurry up and fry it for me. "

"Miss actually still has time to feel pain …" Ju Xiang thought about what Nangong Waner had said, and almost fainted from crying again.

Liu Hong felt a little guilty as to why he did not discover the oddity of the princess early on and did not stay by her side as early as possible to take care of her.

"Princess, why are you hiding this from the prince?" Liu Hong quietly asked while wiping the tears from the corner of his eyes.

Although Nangong Waner might not be able to see the tears at the corner of her eyes, Liu Hong did not want Nangong Waner to see them.

"The righteousness of the country and the love of a child. I hope that the prince chooses the righteousness of the country. Moreover, this illness of mine cannot be cured, so I tell the prince that this will only add to his current worries."

When Ju Xiang and Liu Hong heard this, they held back from speaking any further.

Nangong Waner comforted them easily, "Aiya, don't be so unhappy, I insist on it, maybe I can live until the prince returns."

If he persisted, perhaps he might be able to survive until the return of the prince.

Live until the prince returns...

The loneliness and sorrow in his heart uncontrollably rushed out, and Nangong Waner was unable to hold it in either. Her tears kept rolling in his eyes, "Ju Xiang, Liu Hong, go and get a piece of paper, from today onwards, I will write a letter while I'm still clear. You guys send one to the border everyday, don't tell anyone about me, understand?"

"Miss."

"Esteemed wangfei …" Ju Xiang and Liu Hong finally cried together.

There was a saying that the young girl was waiting for the soldier to leave for the next ten years.

Chu Xiuhan walked a difficult path, and Nangong Waner was worried that he wouldn't be able to sleep well every day.

As long as Nangong Waner had good eyes, she would write a letter to Prince Zhan. Even though it was only a small number, it took her a lot of effort to finish the letter.

In front of him, Chu Xiuhan would receive Nangong Waner's letter everyday. Every time he received a letter, he felt more at ease.

The Prince Zhan at least knew that his Nangong Waner was fine, waiting for him at the back, waiting for him to marry her.

When would he return?

I'll stay here and wait for you to return.

Wait for your return, wait for you to marry me.

Every letter would end like this …
