Chapter 206: Xiao Zhizi, why are you here?
The food that she swallowed in the morning, as well as the pregnancy-stabilizing medicine that Nan Yingzhi personally boiled and brought out from the palace, seemed to have not been digested and were still stuck in her throat.
Yun Ji smelled the aroma coming from the hot pancakes, but he couldn't open his mouth to take a bite.
Seeing him pursed his lips and looked away in one go, Nan Yingzhi immediately understood his body language - "I don't want to eat."
Quickly putting away the cake, Nan Yingzhi thought about what else to eat besides the dry military rations: "Don't want to eat this? Then I'll get something else?"
"No need." Yun Ji felt his stomach bloated and couldn't eat anything. He shook his head, not wanting to bother her. "I'm not hungry."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Nan Yingzhi was surprised: "You only ate a little this morning, how come you are not hungry?"
The smell of food filled Yun Ji's nose, and he became less and less interested. He closed his eyes and said, "I have no appetite."
Thinking of the saying “You can only know the depth of a river by diving into it, and you can only know the sourness and sweetness of a pear by tasting it yourself”, Nan Yingzhi placed her hand on his abdomen to confirm that what he said was true: “Let me feel it.”
When she touched his stomach, it felt like she was touching a stone, slightly hard.
Taking back her hand, Nan Yingzhi made an empirical judgment: "You may have eaten too much and cannot digest it, or your spleen and stomach may be weak, and your intestines may move slowly, so you haven't digested everything you ate this morning."
"Yeah," Yun Ji nodded, "Although I don't know what you meant by 'slow intestinal motility', I really can't eat."
"Don't force yourself if you can't eat." Nan Yingzhi kissed his lips to comfort him and went back to chewing the cake. "Eat when you're hungry."
She was originally preparing to close her eyes and take a rest, but Yun Ji saw that her cheeks were bulging with food. He could not help but stare at her while she ate and slowly replied, "Okay."
After rushing for fourteen days, Nan Yingzhi and Yun Ji and his party finally arrived at the Dali border.
As they headed north, the green plants became increasingly scarce, and at this point, all they saw was endless yellow sand.
The sentry was squinting his eyes, enduring the glaring sunlight, and alertly looking around to ensure the safety of Yanxing Pass, the border city between the two countries.
When he saw the royal flag with the word "cloud" on it in the distance, his dull eyes suddenly lit up.
In a panic, he ran to Nan Yi's tent and shouted at the top of his voice: "Report--"
Just as he was about to leave the tent, Nan Yi opened the curtain with one hand and made eye contact with the sentry.
Thinking that he was about to hear the news of the foreign army's attack, he placed his hand on the hilt of the sword.
Looking again, his subordinate's eyes were filled with joy. Nan Yi paused in his habitual action of drawing his sword and raised his head towards him: "Speak."
"General," the young soldier saw with his own eyes that the reinforcements led by the emperor himself had swept away the depression of the past few days, and was so excited that he could not speak clearly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Although he was a little dissatisfied with Yun Ting, as a military general, Nan Yi was full of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.
He took a step forward: "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
After stumbling over the word "Your Majesty" for a while, the sentry finally said the follow-up: "Your Majesty is here in person, and he is leading reinforcements!"
After hearing what was going on, Nan Yi frowned, looking suspicious.
Would Yun Ting, that cowardly guy, go to the battlefield himself?
There is Zhao Qiao in front, causing all kinds of troubles. As if it is not enough, Yun Ting has to go on the field himself to cause trouble for this veteran?
Turning around, he took a few steps up to the observation deck and indeed saw a large group of people approaching this side.
On the military flag, there is the word "YUN" in capital letters.
Nan Yi had sharp eyes, and what he saw at first was not Nan Yingzhi in the dragon-patterned armor, but Yun Ji in her arms with a slightly pale face.
He never expected that his precious daughter would go to the front line in person. Nan Yi threw away his previous calmness and was horrified.
"Little Gardenia," he tiptoed, leaped down from the observation deck in a few steps, and looked extremely excited, "Why are you here!"
Nan Yi was just about to rush over and ask his daughter about the hardships she had gone through along the way, when he suddenly saw "Yun Ting" behind his daughter, hugging her waist.
Feeling that "Yun Ting" was too patient and didn't even stop him from calling Xiao Zhizi in public, Nan Yi looked up slowly, puzzled.
