Becoming the Empress: Golden Finger Set Under My Bed

Chapter 45: Major General’s Note

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Too many things happened today! An Rushuang was so tired that she quickly fell asleep in the bed curtain.

However, she did not feel the familiar coldness that she had expected.

Frowning, she looked around, only to find that she was sitting on a delicately warm ferret blanket in the General’s tent. White Shuang was sleeping beside her soundly. Next to White Shuang neatly folded a black gown and a thick fur coat.

Seeing this, Rushuang was suddenly reminded of the conversation that she happened to hear when she fell asleep in the coach. Then she subconsciously smiled slightly.

Seeing nobody was around, An Rushuang quickly put on the gown and walked slowly to the inner curtain with bare foot. She was planning to tell him not to drink liquor until he fully recovered and... perhaps thank him for what he had prepared for her.

Thinking so, she gently pulled the curtain. But there was no one inside. Even if she had already got used to the darkness, she still couldn’t help frowning.

It was midnight. Where would he go?

Although An Rushuang was confused, she did not dare to wander in the desert where there were a lot of soldiers on guard.

Thinking over and over, An Rushuang felt it was necessary to tell him what physician Ye Chengzhi told her earlier today. Sitting in front of the desk, Rushuang didn’t dare to light the candle. Against the moonlight, she wrote,

“Major General, today I happened to arrive at your tent again. I would like to remind you that drinking liquor is not good for your recovery...”

Would this be too much for her to care about?

Thinking so, An Rushuang frowned and held the writing brushes tighter. Suddenly the ink on the tip of the brush smudged the paper.

Seeing this, she took a sigh, crumpled the paper and threw it into the litter bin. But at this time, she saw there were several pieces of paper thrown in the bin, on which wrote,

“To deal with some family affairs, I will be away for ten days...”

The latter part was not very clear to read. With confusion, An Rushuang picked it up and found it was a note written by Major General,

“To deal with some family affairs, I will be away for ten days. If you come here during these days, you are very welcomed to make yourself at home in my tent. But remember you are not allowed to go out.”

“I’ve made an order that no one should come here in the evening. Rested assured.”

“Regarding those tricks and magic, I hope you can...”

He didn’t write any more.

Baffled, An Rushuang picked up the other note which was still written for her.

But it was simpler.

“If you come, stay in the tent and you’ll be fine. I’ll come back in ten days.”

“By Yun Ran.”

Seeing this, An Rushuang felt it bit funny and then unfolded the third note and it was even more concise.

“Back in ten days.”

In the moonlight, An Rushuang leaned against the chair in an oversized black coat. Her skin looked even more delicate.

Looking at the crumpled notes in hand, she couldn’t help curving her lips.

Now she could confirm that Yun Ran had a sharp tongue but a tender heart.

Finally, An Rushuang wrote, “Liquor is good for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Since you are not fully recovered, please keep in mind not to drink too much liquor.”

After she finished writing, she suddenly remembered there were still ten days before he came back. Even if she wrote it today, he could not see it. Thinking so, she couldn’t help laughing at herself.

She thought it carefully, folded the paper and put it under the ink stone before she went to sleep in the inner curtain.

The next day, An Rushuang received a second invitation from Princess Mingxi after she had breakfast.

Actually, when she decided to go to the Princess Anyang’s Manor, Rushuang had already expected that Princess Mingxi would find some trouble for her. But it seemed that Princess Ming was not a patient person.

It was true that people love raking up the past. But Princess Mingxi seemed to be fond of raking up the recent.

The servant girl sending the invitation was well-behaved although what she said sounded harsh.

“Miss An, Princess Mingxi had ordered me to send you the invitation in person. It was my fault last time that I sent the invitation without seeing you. We hope that your ladyship could arrive on time to the royal palace. Princess Mingxi has prepared fine wine for you.”

Fine wine?

Was it a punishment?

However, An Rushuang still smiled to the girl and said, “I’ll go there on time. It was Princess Mingxi’s invitation. I won’t miss it.”

After the servant girl left, An Rushuang couldn’t help turning upset when she saw the invitation. The girl did not mention that Princess Mingxi invited another Miss An as well.

What did she mean? How did Princess Mingxi know An Lingshan?

But this banquet would be held in 15 days. An Rushuang left the invitation on the side and said to Hong Yu, “Keep this for me.”

Cautiously stepping towards An Rushuang, Hong Yu said in a low voice, “Miss An, you’ve just turned her down yesterday and she immediately invites you to another banquet. It is no less than a fox inviting a goose to... Oh, sorry... I am not referring that you are a goose... anyway, I think Princess Mingxi must have some ulterior motive.”

An Rushuang laughed, “Few people can be kind and sincere to others in this world. No worries about it.”

Hearing this, Hong Yu frowned, but she still replied a “Yes”. At this time, Silver come in hurriedly.

“Miss An, physician Ye is here.”

He came earlier today.

Thinking so, An Rushuang comforted them, “Do as what I told you. Don’t panic.”

Silver and Hong Yu both nodded.

“Hong Yu, go to the West Room and tell Nanny Liu I’m sick. If she asks you more, just say you are not sure. Silver, stay here and play it by ear.”
