Chapter 64: Rescue and Awakening

"Look at your brother's condition. He can't wait for the doctor to come!"

Cheng Weiyao's eyes were particularly firm when she said this. She tore open the clothes on Wen Chengyun's shoulder. The wound caused by the thorn had begun to turn a terrifying black and purple color.

It was indeed poisoning! Her suspicions were confirmed, but Cheng Weiyao's brow furrowed even tighter. Logically, the wound should have healed after so much time, but now it was rotting and blood was oozing out faintly.

Wen Liyu was so frightened by the hideous wound that she gasped. The hand that was originally holding Cheng Weiyao's wrist loosened a little, and she looked at Cheng Weiyao in panic.

"How could my brother be injured like this... How confident are you, sister-in-law?!"

"If you don't believe me, the Qingping Palace will be preparing for the funeral in a matter of minutes! We're going to die anyway, so we might as well take a chance!"

Cheng Weiyao took the opportunity to push Wen Liyu away. She quickly walked to the bed, put her hand on Wen Chengyun's wound, and dug out the blue-black rotten flesh bit by bit.

From modern times to ancient times, she had used a knife to slaughter pigs and sheep many times, but this was the first time she had used the knife on a human. Because of her nervousness, beads of sweat soon seeped out of her forehead.

Wen Chengming, who was standing by, was smart enough to quickly take out a handkerchief and signal Wen Liyu to wipe Cheng Weiyao. He had the intention, but he was not tall enough.

"Ayu, don't just stand there. Go to Tarrou and Uncle Som's house and ask if they have any strong liquor. The stronger the better..."

Cheng Wei Yao took the handkerchief, wiped her face twice, then began to clean the knife and put it back on the fire to dry.

Wen Liyu's heart was in her throat. She was at a loss as to what to do and couldn't help, but when she heard there was something she could help with, she immediately opened the curtain and ran out.

Although Cheng Weiyao was cleaning Wen Chengyun's wound, she also focused half of her attention on Wen Chengyun's face, observing his symptoms.

The curtain of the big tent was soon lifted, but the person who came back was not Wen Liyu, but two uninvited guests, Chen Er and Li Kui.

It happened that it was the turn of these two people to be on night duty in the official team tonight. They guessed that something was wrong when they saw Taru's father and Taru riding their horses hurriedly on the grassland in the middle of the night.

After stopping him to ask, I found out that it was a matter of life and death. He immediately came to help with a smile on his face.

"Oh my, isn't this our majestic and awe-inspiring Prince Qingping? What happened? He's almost dead!"

"Where can we find a doctor this late at night? It's so dangerous for herders to run around with children in the dark. We brothers took the initiative to bring them back. No need to thank me! It's our duty!"

Chen Er and Li Kui spoke one after another, feeling very happy when they saw Wen Chengyun breathing out more than breathing in, and their words became more and more arrogant and domineering.

"Sister Yao, Cheng Ming, I'm sorry..."

Tarrou lifted the curtain and walked in with his head lowered, his voice full of apology. He had not expected to be intercepted by the officials, and he had not expected that the relationship between the officials and the Qingping Palace was so bad.

"It's okay, Tarrou, you and your father have done your best..."

Although Wen Chengming is young, he is sensitive and careful. He holds Taru's hand and comforts him softly.

Cheng Weiyao knew in her heart that even if she let Taru and the others go to find a doctor, they might not be able to find one. However, these two officers directly extinguished their hope and came over with a shameless face to sneer and mock them. Their faces were really despicable!

She frowned impatiently, and with a backhand, she threw the knife she had used to dig out the rotten meat away as a deterrent. The knife brushed Chen Er's ear and got stuck on the thick wood used to fix the big tent.

"The two officers, please speak if you have anything to say. If not, you can return. My husband is here and we have our own family to take care of him!"

"How can you talk like that, little bitch?!"

When Li Kui saw that Wen Chengyun, the head of the family, had fallen and only the elderly, the weak, women and children were left in the Prince Qingping's Mansion, and Cheng Weiyao was still so ungrateful, he immediately rolled up his sleeves.

Chen Er pulled Li Kui's arm, and he glanced at the flying knife that was stuck in the thick wood. It was three inches deep into the wood. Even though Cheng Weiyao didn't know martial arts, she still had some brute force... What's more, Wen Chengyun might not be able to survive, so they couldn't do anything too extreme.

"We're relieved to hear your words. I've already said that we must hurry on. The team can't stop just because of Prince Qingping!"

After leaving behind a harsh remark, Chen Er took Li Kui out of the tent and the tent finally quieted down. Wen Liyu also came over with muddy hands and a wine jar in her arms.

"This will definitely work. Tarrou's mother said it was buried many years ago. It's a strong liquor from the Central Plains!"

The wine jar was sealed with thick red silk. Once it was opened, the fragrant aroma of wine filled the tent. Cheng Weiyao's eyes lit up slightly. At least she didn't have to worry about sterilization and disinfection!

As for herbs and medicine… a figure appeared in her mind. She waved to Tarrou and lowered her voice: "After daybreak, go to the big gathering and ask Shao Dongyang to buy some herbs. I'll write you the prescription later."

Wasn't Shao Dongyang known for his charisma at large gatherings? At such a critical moment, the truth was immediately revealed. Putting hope in a stranger was risky, so Cheng Weiyao had to be prepared for both scenarios.

There are many medicines on the gold coin exchange page of QQ Farm, and there are many categories among them. She doesn’t understand pharmacology, but she can still understand the simple item descriptions. Detoxification and trauma categories are right.

It would be best if Shao Dongyang could gain something, but if not, this trip would just be a cover for the medicine I exchanged for from QQ Farm...

When Wen Chengyun regained consciousness, the sky was already turning pale. A sleeping face lay beside his arm, peaceful and gentle.

"Husband, you're awake...are you feeling better?"

As soon as Wen Chengyun moved, the alert Cheng Weiyao suddenly opened her eyes and clenched the knife in her hand. When she saw that it was Wen Chengyun, her tense brows relaxed a lot.

Since the man in black escaped with injuries, there is no guarantee that he will not come back to attack us.

For safety reasons, Cheng Weiyao sent everyone else from the Qingping Palace, except herself and Wen Chengyun, to stay overnight at Taru or Som's house.

"My lady, you have worked hard."

Wen Chengyun moved his shoulder slightly. The medicated shoulder had been wrapped securely in a soft bandage, and the excruciating pain had subsided considerably. Although he was unconscious, he could still vaguely hear Cheng Weiyao's nervousness.

"You and I are husband and wife. We share the same fate. You are too polite, husband."

Cheng Weiyao took a look at Wen Chengyun's mental state. Although his face was still pale, at least his lips had returned to normal from the color of poisoning.
