Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Please Conduct Yourself with Dignity, Princess!
One night, without wind or waves.
As dawn was about to break, Chu Qianli had finally finished treating Qin Xiao’s wounds.
When she looked up, she saw Qin Xiao’s eyes, dull and lifeless.
She said indifferently, "Without proper equipment and environment here, I can’t perform bone-setting surgery for you yet. I can only help you heal your flesh wounds for now."
"Once we return to the Imperial City and I have everything prepared, I will set your bones. You’ll recover, don’t worry."
No words are more comforting to a patient than the reassurance of a doctor.
Although Qin Xiao did not understand that bone-setting surgery at all.
But he clearly heard her saying: It will be fine!
"Sleep now," Chu Qianli said softly.
Her voice seemed to have a sort of magic.
Enduring through the night, Qin Xiao finally drifted off into a groggy sleep.
Not until then did Chu Qianli leave his side and stand up, only to see Han Zhan staring at her with a complex expression.
"What?" she asked as she returned to her spot and started to organize the leftover medicine.
"You know medical arts?" Han Zhan had watched all night and was puzzled as well.
At first, he had thought she was just showing off.
But what he did not expect was how proficient and quick she was at using silver needles for lancing!
Such skill could not have been attained without years of medical practice.
"When did you learn medical arts?" Although he had disliked her in the past, they had grown up in the same estate.
Han Zhan had indeed never seen her study medicine under any master.
The old Chu Qianli was only ever interested in eating, drinking, and merrymaking, hardly knowing many characters.
Study medicine? Impossible.
"How much do you know about me?" Chu Qianli didn’t want to explain and simply retorted with an accusation:
"All day long, you only pay attention to Chu Huaiyu. Do you understand me at all? If you don’t, why bother asking?"
Han Zhan was momentarily lost for words.
However, her mention of Chu Huaiyu at this moment did startle Han Zhan.
Why hadn’t he thought of her these past few days?
Qing Ming stood up sharply, coldly snorting, "The Prince is still here. I urge the Princess to maintain decorum and not embarrass His Highness!"
All she knew was how to flirt with men.
If it wasn’t Qin Xiao, then it was Han Zhan!
Such a woman, what right did she have to be their Princess?
Chu Qianli couldn’t be bothered with him.
After packing up, she closed her eyes to rest.
Before long, the convoy began the journey back.
Chu Qianli yawned, having not slept all night, she could only muster her energy to keep up with everyone.
The disturbance she had expected did not occur.
Still, Chu Qianli couldn’t quite shake off a feeling of unease.
And so, the convoy continued on for another two days.
On the second night, with only half a day’s journey left to the Imperial City.
That night, the troops split into two groups, Qing Ming leading the brothers of the Xuanwu Army to their encampment outside the city.
Feng Yexuan and Chu Qianli, accompanied by the elite Ironclad Nightshade Army, hurried back to the Imperial City through the night.
"Prince seems to be in such a rush. Is there something amiss?" Leng Ji inquired.
Feng Yexuan did not respond but looked up at the dimming skyline.
After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and asked, "What is the Princess doing?"
"She was just applying medicine to General Qin..."
Leng Ji thought for a moment and hastened to say, "Your Highness, the Princess was purely treating General Qin out of kindness. Please don’t misunderstand!"
In the past few days, rumors had spread among the troops that the Princess and General Qin were growing too close.
Leng Ji was very angry about this!
Feng Yexuan, however, said coldly, "Nonsense!"
With a wave of his hand, he commanded, "March!"
That night, he felt an even stronger sense of foreboding.
To avoid further complications, it was best to return to the city as soon as possible!
Unexpectedly, as the troops passed through Black Cloud Mountain at midnight, a fierce wind suddenly struck them head-on.
Chu Qianli only took one look, and her face instantly changed!
