Tuoba Lie pointed at the clothes that had been removed, "Wash these for me."
"This is supposed to be washed by the laundry department," Nan Feng said.
"But now I have you, don't I? Your hands are so skilled, can't you wash them cleaner than they would?"
Without making excuses, Nan Feng replied, "Yes, this servant will go wash the clothes."
She packed the clothes into a wooden basin and walked out.
Tuoba Lie watched her retreating figure. From behind, one couldn't tell she was pregnant, but the way she carried the wooden basin seemed extremely laborious.
Tuoba Lie couldn't help thinking, was he being too harsh?
...
At the Military Camp, Tuoba Lie was watching his troops drill, but his mind was restless all morning.
An old general by his side noticed his preoccupation and couldn't help asking, "Does Your Highness have something on his mind? If there's anything, you can leave this place to me, I will take good care of it."
