"Our troops, after walking so long against the blizzard from the capital, have lost no one at all! We didn't even get a cold, other than six people who just took some breaks in the tents due to the long walk, that's all!"
"…"
"We are not newly-recruited soldiers and we know how much loss Lady Chaoyan has cut for us. Because of Lady Chaoyan, we have suffered so much less!" the soldiers from the capital said thankfully.
They were defending Lady Chaoyan because they had benefited from her.
Well…
They had thought things through during the past two days.
Ladies in the capital always lived a luxurious and peaceful life, and Lady Chaoyan was the Lord Huai's future Princess Consort so she would definitely live a better life too, but she chose not to do so.
Instead, she rode with them all the way to Xinzhou through the snow, and even when they were taking a break, Lady Chaoyan was brewing medical soup with her disciples.
