General Wu, lying on the bed at this moment, could only be described as looking utterly wretched.

The wounds wrapped in white cloth on the chest and abdomen were soaked in blood and turned into red strips.

His undergarments were removed, revealing mud stains all over his clothes, which were then wrapped in the bedding.

"Ren Yuan, bring the first-aid kit and find me a pair of scissors."

After Lu Qiqi finished speaking, Ren Yuan carried the medicine box, walked up to her, opened the medicine box, found the scissors, and handed them to her.

Taking the scissors, Lu Qiqi cut open the strip of cloth stained red on General Wu's chest.

General Wu's arrow wound was on his right chest. Although the wound was deep, it fortunately did not affect any vital areas.

It will recover in the future and will not leave any sequelae; at most, it will just leave a scar.

The wound was still bleeding. Lu Qiqi said, "Ren Yuan, stop the bleeding."

As she spoke, she cut the strip of cloth covering General Wu's waist and abdomen.

As soon as the strip of cloth was cut, she raised an eyebrow and looked up at General Wu's face.

General Wu's features were ordinary; if there was anything special about him, it was that his nose was high and straight, but his nostrils were thick and large.

Lu Qiqi couldn't read faces, but she was amazed that even when General Wu was injured, he completely avoided vital areas. She didn't know if it was due to his strength or luck.

While Ren Yuan was stopping General Wu's bleeding, she took out a small porcelain bottle from the medicine box, poured out two nitroglycerin pills, and gave them to him.

Although the tear in the wound was not life-threatening, it still caused excessive bleeding.

If you don't take two nitroglycerin pills, the damage to your health will be severe, and you'll have to put in a lot of effort to take supplements in the future.

In border areas where everything is scarce, it's simply impossible to properly recuperate and nourish one's body.

Moreover, General Wu is a regional commander, and guarding the frontier is his duty.

Neither the border war nor other factors allowed him to remain in bed for too long.

As Lu Qiqi took out the nitroglycerin pills from the medicine box, An Yi, with his sharp eyes, noticed the porcelain bottle in her hand.

After a careful examination, An Yi confirmed that it was the medicine that the young master had sent to the Feng residence.

He was puzzled. Wasn't this medicine meant for General Feng's daughter, Miss Feng?

How did it end up in the hands of the Kang Le Township Chief?

When he saw Lu Qiqi pour out two heart-protecting pills from a porcelain bottle and feed them to General Wu like candy, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets in shock.

These are heart-protecting pills made from the finest medicinal herbs. There were only two pills in total, and General Wu ate them all.

Does he have some terminal illness?

An Yi suddenly turned to look at Song Yanqing and found that his young master's expression remained unchanged, and there was even a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

Then he knew that this medicine was given to the Lord of Kangle Township by his own master.

Now he realized that the person whose face he hadn't seen clearly at the Feng residence that day must be the Kang Le Township Lord standing before him.

Ren Yuan stopped the bleeding for General Wu, and Lu Qiqi found that he had already fainted. She didn't give him any hallucinogenic drugs, but directly used a needle holder to thread the curved needle and suture the two wounds.

From stopping the bleeding to suturing, the whole process took no more than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Lu Qiqi placed the needle holder and curved needle on the cloth bag, stood up and said, "Bring me a basin of water so I can wash my hands."

"yes."

An Yi quickly obeyed the order, took a wooden basin, fetched a basin of water, brought it into the tent, and placed it in front of Lu Qiqi.

In his view, his master's attitude towards Princess Kang Le was so different that she might become the Crown Prince's consort in the future.

Doing more and taking shortcuts is never a bad thing.

Lu Qiqi washed her hands and was about to stand up when she saw two cloths appear in front of her.

The light blue cloth was embroidered with patterns and looked very soft.

The other light linen cloth looked like it had been washed many times, with a few small black spots on it.

Facing the two handkerchiefs, Lu Qiqi looked up and saw Song Yanqing and Ren Yuan's faces.

When Ren Yuan saw the light blue handkerchief, he paused for a moment before putting the linen handkerchief back in his hand.

Lu Qiqi had just touched bloodstains, and even after washing them with water, there would inevitably be marks on the gloves. Moreover, linen absorbs water better than brocade, making it perfect for absorbing water stains from the gloves.

So she took off her gloves and handed them to Ren Yuan, saying, "Help me clean them."

Ren Yuan quickly took the gloves, as if afraid that Lu Qiqi would take them back in the next second.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Qiqi took the handkerchief from Song Yanqing's hand, the movement as natural as if she were taking her own.

She took the handkerchief from Song Yanqing's hand, as if she had previously entrusted it to him.

As Lu Qiqi wiped her hands, she said, "General Wu is concerned about his child, which is why he rushed home despite his injuries."

"I want to go to his house and see if I can help his concubine who is having a difficult childbirth."

Before Song Yanqing could speak, she added, "Only when our families are safe can the nation be safe. Soldiers charge into battle for the sake of national and familial stability."

Although it violates military discipline today, I still want to go.

Song Yanqing naturally knew what kind of person Lu Qiqi was. She was not an ordinary woman; she had a strong sense of national righteousness and a soft heart.

"Dark One".

"Your subordinate is here."

He bowed deeply, adopting a posture of accepting orders.

Song Yanqing said, "Send Princess Kangle to General Wu's mansion. From here on, she shall obey all orders and ensure her safety."

"Your subordinate obeys."

Lu Qiqi took a handkerchief and walked to the medicine box. Just as she was about to pick up the medicine box, An Yi took it from her.

Finally, the two of them walked one after the other to the horse farm, took two horses, and headed towards General Wu's mansion.

With the token in hand, An Yi left the military camp without any hindrance.

The two men rode swiftly and soon came to a stop in front of General Wu's mansion.

The mansion of the border general was so impressive that even the house Lu Qiqi bought in Luzhou Prefecture couldn't compare in terms of its exquisite appearance.

An Yi dismounted and strode quickly to the large black gate of General Wu's mansion.

He stretched out his right hand and knocked on the black tin ring on the door.

The gatekeepers heard the noise and quickly opened the gate.

When the gatekeeper saw the token in An Yi's hand, he immediately sent someone back to report and hurriedly opened the gate.

A servant boy trotted out of the general's mansion to take the reins from the two horses in Lu Qiqi's hands.

Lu Qiqi handed him the reins and walked quickly to the front of the general's mansion. Soon a maid ran over.

She stood still, quickly regulated her breathing, and seemed to know the rules of the mansion.

The maidservant curtsied and smiled politely, "When Madam learned that you two had come especially for this occasion, she specially ordered me to come and show you the way."

"Distinguished guests, this way please."

Seeing her impeccable manners, Lu Qiqi nodded and smiled faintly, "Please lead the way."

After saying that, she and An Yi followed the maid into General Wu's backyard.

General Wu's residence is a four-courtyard complex. Although it is located in a border town, the scenery inside the courtyard shows that it has been specially maintained.

It's just that because of the lack of materials at the border, everything can only be admired from afar and not touched.

Led by the maid, the two entered a courtyard.

As soon as Lu Qiqi stepped into the courtyard, she heard a woman's heart-wrenching cries coming from inside the house!
