Chapter 206 -206: Taking the Initiative to Request Orders to the Frontier Pass Battlefield

Hurrying to Qiyun Courtyard, as soon as she entered, she saw Zhou Chen carrying out a basin of bloody water, accidentally bumping into her. Even with Zhou Chen’s quick actions, he couldn’t make the copper basin disappear into thin air.

He quickly said:

“Princess Consort, the Prince’s injury isn’t serious. There is some blood on his body, and fearing that you would worry, we hurried to clean up a bit and I was taking it out. I didn’t expect you to arrive so quickly.”

Murong Jiu, seeing that the color of the blood in the basin wasn’t too dark, relaxed a little and nodded, walking quickly inside.

Just as she entered the room, Jun Yuyan came over to support her waist, “Why are you in such a hurry? There’s sweat on your forehead. Ah Jiu, don’t worry, your husband only suffered some superficial wounds.”

“Let me see!”

Murong Jiu pressed against his chest and took a few steps back to see where exactly he was injured.

Jun Yuyan knew she wouldn’t rest until she saw the wound, so he waved Chun Tao out of the room and closed the door before he took off his clothes, revealing a bleeding wound, right where Murong Jiu had pushed him earlier.

Murong Jiu exclaimed with a gasp, her face filled with self-reproach. No wonder he was bleeding—it was her who had pushed him.

“Don’t you know how to feel pain? Not making a sound, not even trying to protect yourself!”

There were several wounds on his chest, the iron filings had already been cleaned, and a hemostatic powder had been applied, but there was still one on his arm that hadn’t been dealt with because the shrapnel had penetrated too deeply, and it wasn’t safe to pull out readily for fear of damaging the blood vessels.

Murong Jiu’s eyes reddened as she looked on.

This is what you call a superficial wound?

“Don’t cry, don’t cry, it doesn’t hurt. This injury is really nothing.”

Jun Yuyan feared her tears the most—they made his heart ache and his liver wrench. He promptly tried to embrace her in his arms.

Of course, Murong Jiu didn’t let him hold her, for any further movement might cause the other wounds to bleed again.

“If it weren’t for these wounds being hard to show to an outside physician, would you have even thought of coming back?”

Such explosive injuries were different from ordinary ones. A court physician could easily identify the issue upon handling them. And with Jun Yuyan’s special identity, there were inevitable concerns about the secret of the Fire-thunder getting out.

Though truly afraid for Ah Jiu to worry, Jun Yuyan had intended to send Yang Shan to find Divine Doctor Zhai. Unexpectedly, Yang Shan brought Ah Jiu back first, but of course, he couldn’t admit that out loud. If he did, Ah Jiu would be angry with him.

He coaxed her in soft, extremely gentle tones.

What time did Murong Jiu have to be angry with him? His injury was from experimenting with the Fire-thunder, not just for the citizens of Great Yan, but also for her father and brothers on the frontlines.

She took out a medicine kit and said to him, “My master had too much to drink, so I’ll tend to your wounds. This one on your chest is a little deep; it needs to be stitched up to heal quickly. And I need to remove the shrapnel from your arm, then stitch it up for you. It will be very painful; you’ll have to endure.”

At this time, it was too late to boil the Powder for Anesthesia; it also took time to take effect, and the shrapnel couldn’t stay in the wound any longer.

Jun Yuyan listened to her.

Murong Jiu talked to distract him as she treated his wounds, afraid that the pain would be too intense.

But Jun Yuyan was accustomed to such pain from his years in the military camp; his pain tolerance was always high, so he still had the mood to discuss the Fire-thunder with her.

The Fire-thunder was indeed successful and was quite powerful—probably even stronger than the Xiongnu’s Fire-thunder.

Thus, he had underestimated the power of the Fire-thunder. When he personally triggered the explosion, he retreated to a position that was still too close, which led to some injuries.

In truth, he was eager to return to tell Ah Jiu the surprise, almost neglecting the fact that he had been injured.

Yet seeing how much Ah Jiu cared, he thought that getting injured wasn’t so bad after all, as it showed him where he stood in her heart.

Still, he didn’t want to see Ah Jiu cry, so he decided to take better care of himself in the future, to avoid serious injuries again.

Now with such a minor injury, Ah Jiu’s nose turned red, what would happen if she suffered a serious injury in the future?

“If you feel pain, don’t bear it silently, cry out, and rest assured, I won’t laugh at you,”

Murong Jiu told him.

Jun Yuyan smiled and said, “It doesn’t hurt, not at all.”

Murong Jiu got so annoyed that she applied force, and he immediately “hissed”.

“Let’s see if you can still endure in the future!”

Jun Yuyan immediately vowed, “Rest assured, my lady, your husband will be more careful in the future. This time was an accident, and such mistakes will not happen again!”

Murong Jiu snorted, that was more like it.

After treating the wound and before Murong Jiu had even washed her hands, Jun Yuyan pulled her into his embrace.

Murong Jiu was worried that this would touch his wound when she heard him say:

“It’s been eight and a half days since I last saw Ah Jiu, I have missed you so much.”

Her cheeks turned slightly red, and she stopped struggling, simply sitting on his lap.

“Ah Jiu, we can now mass-produce the Fire-thunder. You don’t have to worry about your father-in-law. However, I plan to personally deliver the Fire-thunder to him, and after arriving at Hexi, I intend to join forces with him to repel the Xiongnu in one fell swoop,”

Jun Yuyan whispered to her about his plans going forward.

Although Murong Jiu knew that once Fire-thunder was made, Jun Yuyan would never entrust it to others, and given his sense of duty to the country, he wouldn’t stand by and watch the war drag on, her feelings were still complicated when she heard that he was going to the Frontier Pass.

On the one hand, she knew that with him, the War God, the cities would surely be regained, but on the other hand, just like worrying for her father and brothers, she was concerned about his safety.

The sword has no eyes, and with the addition of weapons with such massive destructive power like Fire-thunder, no one knows what unexpected situations might arise on the battlefield.

How could she not worry?

But she didn’t want to cause Jun Yuyan to worry about her, so she said to him:

“Alright, you go ahead without worries. I will wait for you to come back home. Don’t worry about things here, I will take good care of our home.”

The word “home” brought Jun Yuyan an unparalleled sense of warmth. He held Murong Jiu even tighter and kissed her forehead.

“I will make sure to return before our child is born, Ah Jiu, you and the children must wait for me to come back,”

Murong Jiu nodded firmly.

If the war ended soon, he should be able to make it back in time.

“Even if you can’t make it back, the children and I won’t blame you. Your safe return is the best gift for me and our children.”

Jun Yuyan looked at her affectionately, and couldn’t help but kiss her red lips.

Deciding to go to the Frontier Pass, Jun Yuyan took advantage of the morning court session right after the reports of a city’s fall came in to ask for permission to go to battle.

The court was in an uproar at that time. A few days prior, Jun Yuyan had already spread the news about Xiongnu having a secret weapon. Now, with another city lost, the court officials brought up the matter of the secret weapon again.

Some civil officials were pessimistic, suggesting ceding land for peace to avoid greater casualties.

But Great Yan had been powerful for so many years, and other smaller nations were its vassals; ceding land for peace was indeed a disgrace. Not to mention that the officials present would disagree, but the citizens of Great Yan would not agree either.

It was at this moment that Jun Yuyan voluntarily asked for permission, setting out for the Frontier Pass to fight against the Xiongnu.
