Chapter 373: Chapter 373: Zhu Xinyue in Trouble

"Miss Zhu, originally the General had confined you to the Zhu Residence, but you sneaked out with us. Now that the food issue has been resolved, you should return to the Zhu Residence soon,"

"No, I don’t want to return to the Zhu Residence. I want to stay with you all; I can help you,"

Zhu Xinyue shook her head, her tone filled with urgency.

"Miss Zhu, the General is really worried about you,"

Jian Yun continued earnestly.

But Zhu Xinyue was stubborn like a bull at that moment.

"He tells me not to leave the Zhu Residence, and I’m just supposed to comply? Why can Feifei fight by his side and I cannot?"

Her eyes reddened as she awkwardly retorted.

The sourness in her heart was about to overflow.

Jian Yun watched Zhu Xinyue behaving this way, her eyes flickered, and a suspicion suddenly formed in her mind.

Could it be, Zhu Xinyue had feelings for her... brother?

But they are siblings after all.

Wait a second!

Jian Yun’s mind suddenly revisited the words Yan Lian had spoken to her last night.

Zhu Xinyue and Yinian were not blood siblings.

With this realization, her anxiety slightly eased.

Unaware of Jian Yun’s thoughts, Zhu Xinyue continued despondently, "The Princess and Prince Jian Yun, Sister Jian Yun and Prince Yan Lian, you fight together. Your relationship is truly wonderful... Brother and Feifei too. Could it be because Feifei holds a significant place in his heart?"

"No, Miss Zhu, you might have misunderstood your brother’s intentions. Truly caring about someone means not bearing to see them face any danger. Prince Jian Yun does not wish for the Princess to face danger; the Ninth Prince also does not let me join the army..."

"But why do you..."

"Maybe it is because we are too determined," Jian Yun said as she shook her head and chuckled at a memory.

"Then why does my brother not wish for me to follow, even though I am very determined as well?" Zhu Xinyue began to agonize over the question once again.

"There are many ways to love someone in this world. Whether it’s fighting side by side or protecting you, it’s all an expression of love. I assure you, your brother definitely cares about you,"

Jian Yun spoke with a very serious tone.

Knowing Zhu Xinyue would not understand for a while, Jian Yun did not force her.

She leaned forward slightly, then pressing down on the other’s shoulders, said, "Otherwise, you should return to the Zhu Residence tonight, give it some thought—see if you can understand this matter. If by tomorrow morning you still can’t figure it out, I will go to the Prince and plead with the General to let you join us at the military camp."

"Okay, Sister Jian Yun, thank you,"

Zhu Xinyue was incredibly excited to hear this suggestion.

So when Ali suggested taking her back to the Zhu Residence, she did not refuse.

"Sister Jian Yun, see you tomorrow. Let’s go to the military camp together,"

Zhu Xinyue said as she was leaving, not forgetting to wave her hand while talking to Jian Yun.

Jian Yun was somewhat bemused.

Observing the situation, it seemed that Miss Zhu would likely not consider the matter tonight.

She was determined to join Yinian at the military camp.

Well, that issue can be discussed tomorrow.

Jian Yun sighed softly.

"Let’s go," she whispered to the attendant behind her.

"Yes, Miss Jian Yun."

...

Meanwhile, having just returned to the Zhu Residence,

Zhu Xinyue waved at Ali, "Ali, there’s no need for you to follow me anymore; go back to the military camp to protect my brother."

"Miss, the General ordered me to stay by your side to protect you," Ali shook his head, his tone very serious.

"I’m at the Zhu Residence tonight, what could possibly happen?" Zhu Xinyue waved her hand with calmness.

Seeing that Ali was still unwilling to leave, she started to argue seriously.

"Ali, your martial arts are commendable, and you are one of my brother’s most trusted confidants. He is truly empowered only when you are by his side. Now that the Princess is not in Tongzhou, who knows what schemes those Dongli Country’s scoundrels might pull. You should hurry back to protect him."

"But, the General ordered me to..."

Ali started to repeat what he had said earlier.

But this time, Zhu Xinyue directly interrupted him.

"Don’t worry, no one dares to touch me in the Zhu Residence. Besides, I will go to the military camp tomorrow. You just wait for me there, then you can continue to protect me."

Ali frowned but still did not nod.

Seeing this, Zhu Xinyue deliberately straightened her face and said sternly, "Ali, my brother said you must obey my orders. I order you to return to the military camp now and stay by my brother’s side."

Ali pursed his lips and finally nodded.

"Miss, you must protect yourself and never run out of the residence again. I will talk to the General again about letting you come to the military camp."

After giving such a solemn admonition, he quickly mounted his horse and rode in the direction of the military camp.

Zhu Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Hope everything goes smoothly for my brother.

She turned to go back to the residence.

But then suddenly there was a figure standing behind her.

The sight made her jump, and her face paled.

When she took a closer look and realized it was Xie Feifei, her face instantly turned cold.

"So it’s Miss Xie. Aren’t you a military doctor? Why aren’t you in the camp treating the wounded, but instead, you’re here?"

She clenched her fists and asked coldly.

She wished to stay in the military camp with her brother but couldn’t achieve it.

Xie Feifei could easily be by her brother’s side, but why had she run back here!

Confronting Zhu Xinyue’s angry gaze, Xie Feifei remained very calm.

Even contempt could be glimpsed in her eyes.

Zhu Yinian actually likes such a brainless waste. He must be blind.

"Little sister Xinyue, I know I was wrong. I apologize to you."

Xie Feifei stepped forward and quickly bowed her head to apologize.

"What, what did you say?"

Zhu Xinyue widened her eyes at Xie Feifei, probably not expecting that one day Xie Feifei would apologize to her.

But she didn’t believe the other party truly regretted.

"Then tell me, what did you do wrong?" she asked coldly.

"I was wrong to covet Brother Yinian, and I should not have competed with you for the position of the General’s wife..."

Xie Feifei sighed deeply, then spoke sorrowfully.

Upon hearing Xie Feifei’s words, Zhu Xinyue’s heart ’thumped’ like it was about to jump out.

"What are you talking about, what General’s wife, that’s my brother." She quickly denied, her face flushing.

Xie Feifei sneered in her heart.

This fool, thinking she had hidden her feelings well?

"I can tell you like your brother. Don’t worry, I won’t compete with you anymore."

Xie Feifei continued.

Zhu Xinyue looked at her with a strange expression.

Why was Xie Feifei so off tonight?

She was alert inside.

"I, I am feeling unwell, I should go back and rest now." Not daring to stay any longer, she wanted to rush inside.

But at this moment, Xie Feifei had already confirmed that there were no Hidden Guards following Zhu Xinyue, and a peculiar gleam flashed in her eyes.

Her face that was gentle just now turned extremely sinister.

She grabbed Zhu Xinyue by the collar.

"I deign to talk to you, and you think you can run?"

"What are you trying to..."

"Mmm mmm mmm..."

Zhu Xinyue hadn’t even had time to ask what she was trying to do when she was knocked unconscious.
