Chapter 103: Chapter 46: Does Jun Moling Know Her?

Shen Ruoxi slightly furrowed her graceful eyebrows, her gaze fixated on him.

One must know, for an ordinary person suffering such severe injuries, even if not dead, they should be half-dead by now.

But he seemed like an anomaly, only his complexion was pale without blood, the rest was as if nothing had happened.

This made Shen Ruoxi secretly marvel again at the strength of his body!

However, having painstakingly saved his life, not a word of gratitude was uttered; instead, he began by expelling her, showing no sense of propriety!

Shen Ruoxi slightly pressed her lips, her expression cold and aloof, “Does the Marshal know this humble minister?”

Jun Moling gazed at her, his eyes full of confusion, humble minister? What does that mean?

At this moment, she had already changed out of the bloodstained clothes, and though simply dressed, she was still breathtakingly beautiful.

But the heavy dark circles under her eyes and the pale, bloodless lips all evidenced her extreme exhaustion.

Jun Moling’s eyes were deep like ink, trying hard to control the emotions surging in his heart, he said lightly, “Why would Miss Shen speak thus?”

Shen Ruoxi met his eyes and said, “When Beichang Country soldiers ambushed me, I distinctly heard you call my name—Shen Ruoxi.”

A trace of complex and indistinguishable emotion flashed through Jun Moling’s eyes, but they quickly returned to the usual indifference, he averted his eyes, avoiding her burning gaze, “What does it matter if I know you or not? I tell you, the military camp is not a place for you, leave quickly!”

Shen Ruoxi’s gaze turned even colder, with a hint of defiance in her tone, “Why can’t I come? I have already divorced Xiao Chengyi, His Majesty conferred me as a Marquis, succeeding my father’s title.

My father and brothers could come to the military camp to serve the country, why can’t I?”

Upon hearing the word ’divorce’, Jun Moling’s heart seemed to suddenly stop.

He was dazed for a long time before regaining his voice, “Since you’re already a Marquis? Why are you not guarding the Shen Family at home, what is your purpose for coming here? Now it’s up to me, others may, but not you, Shen Ruoxi.”

Shen Ruoxi bit her lips in anger.

She knew in her heart, she could not tell him the real reason she came here in a hurry was because His Majesty wanted to take her as consort.

“Now that I’ve come, wanting me to go back? Absolutely impossible.” Shen Ruoxi replied with an exceptionally firm tone.

From her urgent and stubborn expression, Jun Moling had clearly realized that she must have snuck out.

His words became increasingly merciless, “Marquis Shen, coming to the camp requires His Majesty’s decree, do you have it?”

This was clearly making things difficult for her! His Majesty wanted nothing more than to bring her back to the Capital City immediately, how could he possibly decree her to come? Naturally, there was no such decree.

“When a general is abroad, they do not always obey the emperor’s orders. I’ve come to follow you, Marshal, you should take me in.” Shen Ruoxi widened her eyes, looking steadfastly at Jun Moling.

Jun Moling’s deep black eyes were unfathomable, hiding his true thoughts, he remained cold, “The military camp does not take in women, Marquis Shen, please return!”

Shen Ruoxi flew into a rage, “Marshal, who was it that desperately saved you last night; without me, Shen Ruoxi, you might not even be alive now.

What would it matter to let me stay in the camp? Don’t say camps don’t take women, I know full well that the camp has female soldiers.”

Jun Moling’s face was as cold as frost, his voice growing colder, “What is done is done, in this camp, I am in charge, quickly return to the Capital City, I am tired, I won’t see you off!”

Having said this, he slightly frowned, an endless wave of fatigue washed over him.

He wasn’t made of iron, his energy was also limited.

Shen Ruoxi’s eyes instantly turned red, she bit her lip, stubbornly saying, “Prince, I can’t go back to the Capital City, I managed to escape from there with great difficulty, besides, you are my patient, how can I leave before you’ve recovered?”

Jun Moling’s thoughts were caught on her mention of “escape”, his voice involuntarily turned harsh, “Who did this to you?”

An overwhelming sense of grievance surged into Shen Ruoxi’s heart, she merely wanted to catch a glimpse of the place where her father and brother had died, why was it so difficult!

She clenched her hands tightly, her voice choked, “Marshal, I have come so that the heroic spirits of my father, brother, and uncle can see with their own eyes how we drove those Beichang barbarians off our land.

I need to personally bring their heroic spirits back to the Shen Family.

I know you all mean well, afraid I may meet with misfortune.

But who can truly understand the pain in my heart?

I did not want to follow the path arranged by my mother, it was Xiao Chengyi who wronged me, is it so difficult for me to walk the path I choose?

I will definitely not leave, unless you leave my corpse here, let me stay with the spirits of the deceased from the Shen Family!”

Jun Moling felt as if his chest was pierced by a sharp arrow, a sharp pain in his heart caused his body to uncontrollably convulse, an indescribable panic arose within, his voice rising, “Shen Ruoxi, don’t cry.”

Shen Ruoxi angrily retorted, “Why can’t I cry? You all bully me like this, I will cry.”

Jun Moling had never been this helpless before, his heart seemed to be frying in a pan, he compromised, “Stay, stay, don’t cry.”

Her tears instantly left him defenseless.

Shen Ruoxi turned her tears into laughter, gently sniffing, her voice carried a hint of tenderness, “Staying won’t cause you trouble, I can even treat patients, let me check on you first?”

What a kind-hearted girl, though her personality seemed less lively than before.

Jun Moling quietly observed her, his eyes flickered, wanting to speak but did not, silently extending his arm.

Shen Ruoxi reached out and felt his pulse, pausing momentarily, this health condition left her speechless, she inwardly criticized, no wonder he could speak so much! His pulse, though slightly weak, was more regular than hers.

Is he made of iron?

“Recovery is good, rest well.”

“Thank you.” Jun Moling gazed deeply and said softly.

That gaze was somewhat unbearable, Shen Ruoxi inexplicably felt slightly uneasy, hurriedly changing the subject, “Did you change your dressing today?”

“Not yet, will let them change it later.” Jun Moling replied, his voice at this moment only slightly weak.

“Since I’m here, let me do it!” Shen Ruoxi volunteered.

The wounds on the chest and abdomen were manageable, but for the one on the thigh, even as someone usually dignified and stern as Jun Moling felt his face heat up, hastily refusing, “Thank you, no need, let them handle it.”

“Marshal, hiding your injuries won’t do, didn’t I see it all last night, quickly.” Shen Ruoxi was utterly calm, without a trace of shyness.

Jun Moling’s hand unconsciously clenched, while Zhai Wen at the side covered his mouth, stifling a laugh.

Finally, Jun Moling was enraged and embarrassed, “Get out, teacher.”

Zhai Wen hastily bowed, unable to suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth, “Marshal, this subordinate takes his leave.”

Shen Ruoxi paid no heed to this, deftly opening the bandages on his chest and abdomen, seeing the recovery state of the wounds, she was filled with admiration.

What a peculiar body, its self-healing ability truly astonishing, just yesterday he scouted death’s threshold, today at least he could move slightly without much trouble.

She skillfully changed the dressing, re-bandaging him.

However, when she moved to pull down his pants, Jun Moling hurriedly pressed down with his hand, thankfully his thick beard covered half his face, otherwise, his face would likely be red.

“Let them handle this.” Jun Moling’s voice was slightly hoarse, evidently tinged with embarrassment.

Seeing this, Shen Ruoxi didn’t persist.

She silently pondered, he appeared to be around twenty-five, always giving an impression of decisiveness, cold and bloodthirsty, yet this innocent reaction seemed somewhat endearing.

She served him water, watching him drink, Shen Ruoxi finally voiced the question lingering in her mind.

“Marshal, I heard from the Beichang soldiers that you had already escaped, why did you return to the enemy camp, nearly losing your life?”
