Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Chapter 878: Not Simple

It was already afternoon when Song Ruozhen met Chu Junting.

She looked at the man who appeared in front of her and subconsciously examined him carefully. Seeing that he did not appear to have any injuries, she stepped forward and lifted his clothes.

Seeing his wife start pulling at his clothes without saying a word, Chu Junting quickly said:

"Madam, we're still outside. If you want to see, we can go inside and take a look."

Sensing the teasing tone in the man's words, Song Ruozhen glared at him with displeasure. "How serious are your injuries?"

Chu Junting put his arms around his wife's waist and gently coaxed her in a soft voice, "It's not serious, just a minor injury. It's my fault for making you worry."

"You knew perfectly well that Master Xuan Yang was difficult to capture and that this trip was extremely dangerous, so why did you still take action yourself?"

Song Ruozhen's brows furrowed with displeasure. She had specifically reminded him beforehand, after all, someone like Master Xuanyang was definitely not simple in his methods.

When faced with real danger, they're capable of anything.

As someone also in the Xuanmen sect, she knew very well that when the real counterattack came, it would be anything but simple.

"It's my fault for making you worry, Madam."

Chu Junting apologized without hesitation, "I brought enough people with me this time, but I still underestimated his methods. Moreover, this person is not only good at Xuanmen techniques, but also has excellent martial arts skills."

"After going through so much trouble and finally managing to catch him, I can't let him escape. So I have to take action myself."

Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen sighed helplessly. She wasn't really angry; she was just worried about Chu Junting.

"Let's go inside first, let me check your injuries first."

Chu Junting's heart softened. He thought of what his father had said before. Indeed, marriage made a difference. He had someone he cared about, and that person cared about him in return.

This feeling of being cared for makes people feel happy.

After learning that Chu Junting had arrived, Gu Ruyan and the others had all considered coming out to find out the truth.

However, upon seeing the young couple meet, they tacitly refrained from disturbing them.

"Judging from my brother-in-law's appearance, his injuries shouldn't be too serious, so we don't need to worry."

Song Zhiyu chuckled, finally able to relax after a long period of anxiety.

Gu Ruyan nodded, "I knew that the King of Chu was highly skilled in martial arts. Even if the opponent was very powerful, there shouldn't be any major problems. Now we can rest assured."

Song Ruozhen entered the room and carefully examined Chu Junting's injuries. She saw a deep wound on his back, and the gauze was stained with blood again. She couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

"The wound is so deep, and you still say it's not serious?"

Chu Junting smiled gently, "Didn't you already have Yunyang deliver medicine to me? Your medical skills are so amazing, I'll definitely get better quickly after using your medicine."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Song Ruozhen glared at him fiercely. "Your wound needs to be taken good care of. Take off your clothes first, and I'll reapply the medicine to you."

"it is good."

Chu Junting nodded, his gaze falling on the woman's slightly bluish eyelids. He reached out and ran his hand across her eye socket, saying:

Didn't sleep well last night?

Song Ruozhen didn't hide anything, "I'm used to having you by my side when I sleep, but I can't sleep well when you're not here."

She couldn't sleep not only because she was worried about not being able to sleep, but also because she was used to it.

Habits are a terrible thing. She used to sleep soundly when she was alone, but now she can't sleep when someone is around.

Since they got married, they have always slept together, but now they can't sleep if no one is beside them.

Chu Junting sensed the woman's dependence on him in her words and gently pulled her into his arms.

"Me too, I always feel uneasy when you're not around."

Song Ruozhen rested her head on the man's shoulder, enjoying the moment of embrace, and her previously anxious heart was completely at ease at this moment.

"My father said that once you give birth to a child, he will make me the crown prince."

Song Ruozhen was taken aback and subconsciously lifted her head from the man's embrace. "What?"

Chu Junting chuckled, "When I first heard Father Emperor say those words, my reaction was exactly the same as yours."

"Is what Father Emperor said true?" Song Ruozhen couldn't help but ask. Why did the appointment of a crown prince have anything to do with whether she could have children?

"Father would certainly not joke about such a thing; he probably feels that there is no suitable opportunity right now."

"Once our child is born, he will use this opportunity to formally appoint you as the Crown Princess."

Seeing the smile in the man's eyes, Song Ruozhen couldn't help but pour cold water on his enthusiasm, "What if I give birth to a daughter?"

"I do like my daughter very much. As for what Father Emperor decides, let him have a headache."

Chu Junting had previously talked to Song Ruozhen about how they would find it especially adorable if they had a daughter who looked like Zhen'er in the future.

As Song Ruozhen bandaged his wounds, Chu Junting recounted the process of capturing Master Xuanyang the previous night.

As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Even though Song Ruozhen had given them a way to guide them, they followed along and discovered that Master Xuanyang had noticed their presence and was also fleeing.

They pursued them along the route, and after they left the palace gates, Master Xuanyang used magic to confuse them and disrupt their plans.

Not only did they waste a lot of time along the way, but their manpower was also scattered. In the end, Chu Junting realized the problem and followed the route to catch Master Xuanyang.

However, because the people were already scattered, and Master Xuanyang had other experts by his side, although Chu Junting successfully killed his opponent after a fierce battle, he was still ambushed and injured.

"Where is Master Xuanyang now?" Song Ruozhen asked.

“He’s being held in the imperial prison. I went there once, but he’s not going to say anything.”

Chu Junting frowned slightly. He had already guessed that Master Xuanyang was stubborn and it wouldn't be easy to get useful information out of him.

However, when I went to the dungeon today, I found that his situation was even more difficult to pry open than I had expected, which is quite troublesome.

Song Ruozhen was not surprised at all. In the original book, Master Xuanyang was the right-hand man of King Liang.

After King Liang became emperor, Master Xuan Yang also became the national advisor and was revered by thousands, which shows how much King Liang valued him.

"This person is extremely skilled in metaphysics. He must have foreseen that the Prince of Liang was destined to ascend to the throne, so he came here specifically to assist him."

He knew very well that if he revealed what the King of Liang had done at this point, it would pose a fatal threat to him once the truth came out, so he certainly wouldn't say it.

Chu Junting listened to his wife's analysis and nodded, "You're right. When I met him, I also felt that he exuded a mysterious aura."

He was no ordinary member of the Xuanmen sect; his cultivation was far from simple.
