That way, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

After bidding farewell to the two senior doctors, Lu Qiqi found Imperial Physician Ren and told him about the matter. The two then went to the commander's tent together.

This matter was of utmost importance. Physician Ren recalled that ten years ago, when he first arrived in the border town, he had seen soldiers with bleeding gums.

At first, I only felt weak all over and had bleeding gums, but later I developed all sorts of symptoms.

Protruding eyes, vomiting, hematuria, cerebral hemorrhage, and abdominal bleeding occur frequently.

With 30,000 troops stationed to guard the border city, the losses were halved in less than two months.

At that time, the late emperor was still on the throne, and the border cities never lacked food, supplies, or medicine.

But they still couldn't save tens of thousands of soldiers. How could the current Jin Dynasty compare to the late emperor?

Physician Ren rushed to the commander's tent, but the uneven road in the military camp caused him to trip over his own feet several times, nearly twisting his ankle each time.

Lu Qiqi followed behind him, and had no choice but to quicken her pace as well.

When the two arrived at the commander's tent, they were both panting heavily.

The imperial physician Ren exemplified the phrase "still vigorous in his old age" to the fullest extent. As soon as he had settled down, he asked the guards to come into the tent to report.

Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince of Libei ordered his men to summon the two back to their respective tents, and to notify them to come over when there was space available.

Upon hearing the guard's report that he had returned, Physician Ren looked at Lu Qiqi, and the two exchanged a glance.

Lu Qiqi's breathing became smoother, and her joyfully beating heart calmed down a bit. She said, "Imperial Physician Ren, let's go back first. There must be something important inside. We'll come back when the young master summons us."

There was no other way at the moment, so Imperial Physician Ren nodded and walked towards the wounded soldiers' camp with his shoulders slightly drooping.

Lu Qiqi watched his departing figure and then returned to her own tent.

Before leaving, she glanced at the guard who had come to report and understood why Song Yanqing refused to see her!
