I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

Chapter 103: Ridiculous

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After moving these inland people over, the northern region would no longer be a desolate land.

After these people settled down, married, and had children, the northern region would have a huge increase in both food and population. This way, the military affairs in the northern region would also improve and develop.

At the very least, they wouldn’t have to worry about the supply of soldiers anymore!

Many brave men in the empire wanted to have their own home and protect their wives and children!

Lu Ze seemed to have thought of something. His tone was filled with helplessness and depression. “It’s just that with his personality, it’s very difficult for the King to do these things.”

He was too soft-hearted and indecisive.

The former emperor loved martial arts and had fought in various wars in his lifetime. He had personally led eight wars!

The territory of the empire had indeed expanded substantially in his hands, but the series of problems that came with it were left to his descendants.

The people had suffered too much!

Therefore, after the emperor succeeded the throne, the first decree he announced was to lower taxes and let the empire enjoy a period of peace!

Unfortunately, the surrounding barbarians didn’t want the empire to enjoy a period of peace!

“You told me the other day that we can’t be too short-sighted and that we have to consider the long term! Why are you so stubborn today?!”

From Lu Ze’s tone, Lin Suisui could tell that something was wrong. She could actually understand why he was angry.

If the King didn’t have such a personality, he definitely wouldn’t be in such a difficult position!

Battles for the throne had always been tragic! It might even lead to the destruction of the country! Lin Suisui sighed softly. She only hoped that the situation wouldn’t develop to the point where it couldn’t be resolved!

Lu Ze didn’t reply, but Lin Suisui could clearly feel that the ox cart had slowed down a lot. In the end, it slowly stopped. She lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out. Not long after, she heard the sound of hooves approaching. Along with the sound of the hooves, the messenger roared amidst the whistling north wind, “Mr. Pei’s orders are to spread out on both sides of the road and set up camp! We’ll continue our journey tomorrow at dawn!!”

Mr. Pei’s orders are to spread out on both sides of the road and set up camp…”

This was the first time Pei Qian had ordered everyone to set up camp by the roadside since they set off from the capital. It seemed that he planned to speed up!

These refugees were resilient to hardships.

Although they were still not used to such cold weather, everyone knew what the priority was.

Instead of wasting time on the road like this, it was better to just rip the bandaid off. They might as well grit their teeth and hurry to the camp! Otherwise, if they dragged on like this, the weather would only become colder and colder. They would probably suffer even more later.

As usual, the three ox carts on Lu Ze’s side formed a triangle and were surrounded by linoleum to block the wind. When the bonfire inside rose, the cold sensation finally dissipated from their feet a little.

No one expected this simple camping arrangement to just be the beginning and that for the next three to four days, there would be such a tight schedule.

In the end, they even had to get up before dawn!

As for the rest time, it would only be after night fell!

After traveling for seven days, Pei Qian finally showed mercy and chose a depression surrounded by mountains on three sides so that everyone could set up camp and rest.

That night, the entire refugee camp was overjoyed. They made a sumptuous dinner to make up for traveling these past few days and laid down to sleep.

Lin Suisui only found out from Mrs. Luo that a large group of soldiers had entered the refugee camp early in the morning when she woke up the next day.

“There were about 300 people! They were riding horses and dragging about 10 carts.” Mrs. Luo woke up early in the morning and happened to see the group enter the refugee camp.

Lin Suisui nodded. She didn’t need to think too much to guess the background of these people.

Previously, Lu Ze told her that Pei Qian had sent the news that the refugee camp was in trouble to his uncle, Gao Xuwei. If Gao Xuwei was really willing to send someone over to help, he should be here now!

“If it snows, we can probably rest for a few more days.” Lin Suisui stuck her head out and looked at the heavy snow outside. It seemed that Pei Qian had arranged for them to travel faster these few days to prepare for this snow!

“Madam Liu, Madam Liu.”

Lin Suisui was talking to Mrs. Luo when she saw the tent curtain beside her move. Qian He had already walked in quickly. When he saw Lin Suisui, he first bowed before saying, “Madam Liu, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you again. Something happened in the camp and we need you to take a look.”

“Is someone injured, or…” Seeing that Qian He was so anxious, Lin Suisui’s first reaction was that someone was injured!

However, after thinking about it, she felt that it was impossible!

After all, they didn’t hear any sounds of fighting outside at this moment?! The general had just sent a team over. It couldn’t be that someone in that team was sick, right?!

“A young woman who came with the general is showing signs of premature labor.”

Lin Suisui wasn’t the only one who was stunned when she heard this. Even Qian He, who had said this news, found it awkward to explain.

“Not only did General Gao come personally, but he also brought a pregnant woman?!” Lin Suisui took a long time to recover from her shock.

This was crazy!

They had rushed all the way from the northern garrison in the Greedy Wolf City! Even if that woman was sitting in a carriage, this bumpy journey was definitely not easy for a pregnant woman!

What kind of relationship did they have that General Gao was unwilling to part with that woman even during a time like this?!

“Yes, she’s about to give birth.” Qian He coughed softly with an awkward smile. “General Gao was worried about leaving her in the residence, so he brought her over!

However, who would have expected that the conditions on the road would be so harsh? An Xiaoning had always been pampered like a princess. When had she ever been treated like this?!

The fact that she had lasted until they reached the camp before realizing that something was wrong was already shocking.

“Just now, she said that her abdominal pain was unbearable. Now, the nanny said that her water seemed to have broken! There’s no other way now, so Mr. Pei asked me to invite you over to take a look.”
