Lu Qiqi transmigrated into a chaotic world of famine. With no parents and carrying a little sister in tow, she had to face immense hardship.
On the road during her escape, while others drank ...
The two stopped outside the tent where Lu Qiqi was staying.
Song Yanqing stared at her tent thoughtfully.
Upon arriving at the destination, Lu Qiqi said, "We both have things to do, so let's leave it here."
After saying that, she reached out and patted Wangcai's head, "Wangcai, stop spinning, let's go back."
Just as the man and the wolf took a step, Song Yanqing said, "It might be inconvenient for you to treat the wounded if you carry it with you. Why don't you put it in my tent?"
Lu Qiqi stopped and turned to look at Song Yanqing.
She had planned to put Wangcai into her spatial storage once she entered the camp, so that it could keep Xiaoye company.
I never expected Song Yanqing to make such a suggestion.
Before she could even find the words to refuse, Wangcai seemed to understand Song Yanqing's words, wagging its tail happily and running to his legs, circling around him.
Wangcai's actions made Lu Qiqi laugh in anger. This heartless little thing was bought off with just one meal of meat.
Don't you even consider that after raising it this big, you'll never lack food or water?
Little heartless!
Lu Qiqi thought that putting Wangcai in Song Yanqing's tent would allow the soldiers to get used to it and avoid them being curious about her raising wolves, which would attract too much attention.
She smiled and said, "Wangcai likes you so much, it must not have forgotten you. I'll trouble you to take care of it these days."
Song Yanqing nodded, agreeing, and then asked directly without any polite words, "Are you the only one living in this tent?"
"Yes, I specifically asked Ren Yuan to arrange a separate tent."
Song Yanqing looked at Lu Qiqi with an inscrutable gaze, and after a moment he said indifferently, "Come live with me."
The two looked at each other, and for a moment they were silent.
After a moment, Song Yanqing added, "I'll arrange a separate tent for you next to mine."
The sudden question left Lu Qiqi speechless. "Is there something wrong with me living here?"
Actually, there's nothing wrong with living here. On the contrary, it's closer to the military doctor's camp, so you can know about any important matters immediately.
But Song Yanqing was worried about her living here alone.
Although this place is close to the medical camp, it is also the most chaotic place.
Military camps are strictly disciplined, but there are always those who dare to be audacious. If a woman suddenly appears in the camp and something happens, it will be too late to regret it.
It would be better to arrange for Lu Qiqi to be by his side, right under his nose, so that he can take care of her personally.
Song Yanqing said, "The food in my tent is specially supplied by the cooking camp, so it's convenient for you to come and eat."
Lu Qiqi never expected that this was the reason why the generals' meals were so much better than the flatbreads and steamed buns that ordinary soldiers ate.
Without hesitation, she agreed, "Okay, I'll pack my things and move over later."
Upon receiving Lu Qiqi's affirmative answer, Song Yanqing felt incredibly relieved, her heart leaping with joy like a dog wagging its tail.
The two parted ways outside the tent, and Lu Qiqi went straight to Physician Ren's tent.
When Ren Yuan saw Lu Qiqi return, he quickly stood up and said, "Princess, where have you been? You ran off in such a hurry that the food has gotten cold."
Looking at the food on the table, Lu Qiqi felt a little uncomfortable as she recalled the meal she had just eaten.
It was as if she deliberately shunned them and went to eat alone.
Knowing the reason for her sudden departure, Dr. Huang wanted to know, "The wolf those soldiers mentioned, was it Wangcai?"
“It’s Wangcai,” Lu Qiqi nodded, took a few steps forward and sat on the stool, “It ran into the prince’s tent.”
Upon hearing this, Ren Yuan's eyes widened. The young master was a strict disciplinarian; a wolf that ran into his tent was probably already dead.
Upon learning that Wangcai was Lu Qiqi's pet, he said with some regret, "Please accept my condolences, Lord. Although raising a wolf is not easy, discipline must be followed in the military camp."
When Ren Yuan said this, the three people in the tent stared at him intently, wanting to hear what he had to say.
"Once the war is over, I'll find you a puppy. There's a kind of dog in the border town that's extremely fierce in fights."
He's been well-trained and obedient since childhood, making him perfect for guarding the gate.
After hearing his words, Lu Qiqi was both amused and exasperated.
She said, "I appreciate your kindness. Wangcai is fine, so it ran into Song Yanqing's tent and ate a lot."
Song Yanqing liked it very much; Wangcai had essentially found herself a long-term meal ticket.
Ren Yuan didn't understand what "long-term meal ticket" meant, but Lu Qiqi dared to call the Prince of Libei by his name, and her tone sounded very familiar with him.
He had some doubts, but he dared not ask too many questions, lest he say the wrong thing.
In the afternoon, Lu Qiqi and the others continued to perform surgery and stitches on the seriously wounded soldiers in the camp.
For soldiers with minor injuries, the medics applied the Panax notoginseng powder given to them by Lu Qiqi to stop the bleeding.
After Lu Qiqi stitched up the wounds of the two wounded soldiers, Imperial Physician Ren hurriedly opened the tent.
He headed straight for Lu Qiqi's location and said, "Princess, General Wu has fallen from his horse, and his knife and arrow wounds in his chest have been torn open. I hope you can go and treat him as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Qiqi handed over her work to Doctor Huang.
He strode to the copper basin, washed away the bloodstains from his wounds, and said, "Take me there quickly."
“Ren Yuan will come along too,” she needed to find a helper.
Led by Physician Ren, with Ren Yuan carrying the medicine box and Lu Qiqi walking at the back, they soon arrived at General Wu's tent.
General Wu's camp was also in the center of the military camp, not far from Song Yanqing's camp.
On the way, Lu Qiqi asked Physician Ren why General Wu, despite his injuries, still risked riding a horse.
The imperial physician told her that General Wu had insisted on riding back to his residence in the border town despite his injuries.
It was because the Wu family came to report that their concubine was having a difficult childbirth, and they wanted him to go back and shake off the yin energy so that the concubine could have a smoother delivery.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qiqi's impression of General Wu improved considerably.
Although there is no basis to say that he used Yin Qi to attack, his determination to rush back despite being seriously injured is commendable.
After all, in this era, concubines were considered illegitimate children regardless of whether they bore sons or daughters.
In prominent official families, the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children was of utmost importance.
In an era without the concept of monogamy, and with two legitimate sons, the fact that General Wu could do this shows his genuine affection.
The matter was urgent, and Doctor Ren didn't have time to inform anyone. He immediately lifted the tent flap and led Lu Qiqi and Ren Yuan into the tent.
Several generals in armor stood inside, and Lu Qiqi spotted Song Yanqing among them at a glance.
Imperial Physician Ren and Ren Yuan bowed to him simultaneously, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Song Yanqing said calmly, "No need for formalities."
After saying that, he turned to look at Lu Qiqi, "General Wu's wound has been torn open and he urgently needs your suturing skills to treat it."
"With me here, you won't die!"
After saying that, Lu Qiqi took a few steps forward, and the people who had been surrounding General Wu's bed made way for her.
Lu Qiqi stood by the bed and saw General Wu with his eyes closed.
Only then did I realize that he had fallen from his horse and the fall was so severe!
