The Enchanting Imperial Concubine (Book 2)

Chapter 304 - Rebels

In the evening, the main forces of the Liao army were not present, so there was no daring to launch a reckless attack, allowing for a rare few days of rest.

Ye Zhe inspected the city walls and then returned to the general's residence to rest.

Knowing he would return to rest today, Yin Shi had prepared hot water and a large spread of food.

When Ye Zhe came back, she first pushed him to take a good bath.

The conditions in the military camp were not this good, and with the weather being hot, wearing thick armor left quite an unpleasant smell.

After finishing his bath, Ye Zhe didn't put on a shirt, as several of his injuries had yet to heal completely and needed to be treated.

"While I wasn't here, you didn't take care of your injuries properly. If you had been changing the dressings and washing them regularly, you would have healed by now. Look at this gash on your right shoulder; it's still splitting open!"

Yin Shi complained as she took out a blue porcelain bottle from the cupboard.

"Try this. Mother had someone send it from the capital, saying that it was specially made by the court physician at the request of your sister, and it's more effective."

Privately, Ye Zhe didn't like to refer to Ye Yun as Ming Xiuyi and always called her "sister."

Over time, Yin Shi also began to call her that.

The family had a genuine closeness.

"This medicine does feel more comfortable when applied; it's cool and doesn't sting. My golden sore medicine is good, but it hurts a lot when I apply it," Ye Zhe said.

"A general like you is still afraid of pain?"

Yin Shi shot him a glare and skillfully picked up a clean white gauze to wrap the wound.

Ye Zhe knew she was both concerned and angry, so he chuckled and kissed her hand.

"What you say, my dear, doesn't mean the general won't feel pain!"

"Your daughter is still here, and you don't know how to be shy!" Yin Shi's face flushed as she pulled her hand back.

Ye Zhe glanced at the small bed in the inner room and noticed their daughter, who had just turned one, sleeping soundly.

Because of the war, they hadn't held a birthday celebration for her, and he felt a deep sense of guilt.

Standing up, he went in to take a look and gently touched her face.

When he came out, he hugged Yin Shi, saying, "You've worked hard. Once the fighting is over, I'll take both of you for a ride."

"Alright, let's eat. It's hard in the military camp, and it's rare to have the opportunity to sit down and enjoy a meal together, but you mustn't drink; your wound isn't healed yet," Yin Shi said with a smile.

Ye Zhe nodded, and the couple sat down to eat.

However, they had only eaten halfway when a servant rushed in, looking flustered.

"General, it's bad! The Liao army is suddenly launching a large-scale attack on the city. You're not here, and General Yin isn't here either; no one can take charge. The Liaos are gaining the upper hand!"

"My brother must also have gone to rest today; what should we do? You hurry back to the camp; don't worry about us," Yin Shi said anxiously.

Ye Zhe furrowed his brows and quickly returned to the room to put on his armor as he walked.
