In a blink of an eye, five days passed since Yang Yun lead his team into Lao Mountain for a rescue mission .
These few days, Mingyue spent her time going back and forth to her grandpa place and the Imperial Infirmary .
That morning, Mingyue went out with her mother to visit the dressmaker for her wedding dress fitting and some shopping .
When she returned, she found a carriage in front of the gate and her brother's men stationed outside .
The steward approached her and told her that her elder brother, Xiao Xian was waiting for her in her courtyard .

Mingyue spoke to her mother briefly and returned to her yard . A few maidservants followed her with her belongings .
Her mouth stretched into a smile as she saw both her brother and father waiting for her in the courtyard .
She greeted them politely, and an uncomfortable feeling surged into her heart when she saw the way the two men exchanged a look .
Mingyue waved a hand to her maidservants and told them to bring her belongings into her room . Then, she turned to her brother . "Elder brother, you're looking for me?"
Xiao Xian nodded . He opened his mouth to say something but hesitated . He pressed his lips into a thin line and spoke, "Come with me . " He waved his hand and walked towards the door .
"Where to?"
Xiao Xian stopped and turned to his sister . "I will explain on the way . "
Mingyue turned to her father . Once she saw him nodded, giving her his assurance, she turned around to follow her brother .
"Young General . " The soldiers bowed when they walked out the gate . One of them opened the door to the carriage and let the siblings enter .
Soon, the carriage started to move .
Mingyue watched her brother and waited for him to explain, but he kept his mouth shut and kept his gaze out the window as if to avoid her .
When the carriage left the Capital, Mingyue finally lose her patience . Her eyes flashed with surprise when she looked outside .
"You're taking me to the camp?" she asked .
She had been to her brother's training ground on the outskirts a countless times and was very familiar with its surroundings . "Why?"
Xiao Xian studied his sister's expression before he decided to speak . "Yang Yun returned with his team from the rescue mission this morning . "
Mingyue sighed in relief at the news .
But a few questions immediately rose into her mind . She knew that her brother didn't like her meeting Yang Yun before the wedding, so why was he telling her this .
She swallowed as the uncomfortable feeling returned . "What's wrong?"
"He was badly injured . "
Mingyue stared at her brother in a daze . Her face paled at the news . "W-what? How bad?"
"I don't know that much . I received news on this morning and went straight to get you . I haven't got the chance to see the extent of his injuries," Xian admitted . His frown deepened as he spoke again . "But my men said that he was unconscious when he arrived . "
