Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

taking care of her all this time.
However, Lil Guo neither knew their whereabouts nor when they would be coming back, and she was anxious to return to the imperial capital, so she went to Lu Hetian.

Unaware of the intricacies of her condition and seeing that she looked fine, Lu Hetian gave his approval.

“Be careful on the way,” he reminded her.

“Yes, My Lord,” replied Chu Jiu.
Remembering something, she added, “Madam Ling and the Heir Presumptive have taken great care of me during my time here.
When they come back, please tell them that I’m truly grateful for everything they’ve done for me.”

“I will.” Lu Hetian nodded.

After bidding Lu Hetian farewell, Chu Jiu packed her bags swiftly and left the camp on horseback.

Very soon after she departed, Lu Tingchen returned with the two arrested spies from whom he planned to extort a confession.
However, he had carelessly fallen into their trap and gotten his right arm injured while capturing them, so he was currently having his wounds bandaged by the army physician.

Just then, Lil Guo arrived with a report.
“My lord, Miss Chu Jiu has bid goodbye and left an hour ago.”

Lu Tingchen’s handsome face immediately clouded over.
“Who allowed her to leave without my permission?”

His terrifyingly grim expression sent Lil Guo’s heart pounding, and he answered honestly, “It was the Grand Duke.”

Frowning, Lu Tingchen pushed the army physician away and shot to his feet.
“Xu Chen, bring me my horse!”

Xu Chen was startled.
“Where do you plan to go?”

“Just bring me my horse,” said Lu Tingchen in a low voice, a hint of agitation in his eyes.

Xu Chen had no choice but to bring his mount over.

Lu Tingchen swung himself up onto the horse.

“My lord, you haven’t bandaged your wounds…” the army physician protested anxiously, to which Lu Tingchen wordlessly responded by offering the view of him disappearing into the distance on horseback.

Ling Lihua had just returned from collecting herbs.
The moment she entered the camp, she saw her son dashing toward her on his horse.

“Chen, where are you going?”

“Chu Jiu’s gone.
I’m going to look for her,” Lu Tingchen replied hastily before spurring his horse and galloping out of the camp.
