Chapter 247 The Approach

These hurts have caused Green Water to overreact; any similar insults will reopen old wounds and cause her deepest pain.

That's why Green Water lost many memories, and even though she knew the Sixth Prince had misunderstood her, she still couldn't help but shed tears.

Since the sixth prince was almost fully recovered, she decided not to go.

There were still many wounded soldiers in the military camp who needed medical treatment. Although she was tired after a long day, the wounded soldiers treated her with respect and courtesy, and she enjoyed the experience.

Now that she heard from the guards that the Sixth Prince's condition had worsened, although she didn't want to go, he was, after all, a patient she had treated, and she had to take responsibility if anything went wrong.

Not long after, Green Water reappeared in the Sixth Prince's tent with the guards.

Upon entering, Lu Shui didn't even glance at the Sixth Prince's face. Her gaze immediately fell upon his wounds, and she noticed that the most severe wound on his body was indeed badly ruptured and covered in blood. She couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Did you do anything strenuous today?" Green Water glanced at the Sixth Prince calmly. "This wound is clearly from a recent impact. Did you deliberately cause it to happen like this?"

Everyone in the military camp knew the importance of the Sixth Prince, and no one dared to harm him without Wen Zhiming's orders.

So he must have hurt himself.

"Of course not!" the Sixth Prince denied vehemently.

To get yourself injured like this just to see a junior military medic—it's so embarrassing if word gets out.

"It's your bandaging technique that's inadequate. This happened when I rolled over to rest. You treated this wound, so you have to see it through. What are you standing there for? Apply the medicine for me."

He acted like a rogue, making unreasonable demands.

His wound, which was bleeding profusely, throbbed with pain, yet his heart was inexplicably filled with excitement.

He couldn't wait for Green Water to press the medicine forcefully onto his wound, to enjoy the pleasurable sensation of pain and numbness.

Green Water could tell at a glance that the severity of the wound was definitely not caused by turning over, but since the Sixth Prince didn't say anything, she was too lazy to investigate further.

She never imagined that the Sixth Prince would treat her so cruelly just to see her. She only thought that he was bored and had accidentally reopened his wound while practicing martial arts.

We can just rework it for him, it won't take too much time.

Arguing with him, debating right and wrong, is a waste of time and like casting pearls before swine.

It's best to keep your distance from such a rude and arrogant person.

Green Water skillfully took out medicine bottles and tools from the medical kit, cut the cloth strips, and then evenly applied a layer of medicine.

The sixth prince's eyes lit up with excitement at first, then he closed them to enjoy the moment. But then he opened his eyes in confusion and said with dissatisfaction, "Didn't you eat? You have so little strength?"

He needs to be treated violently to alleviate his guilt.

His status and position meant he would never apologize to this young female doctor.

He said a few abrupt things, and if Green Water hurt his wounds again, the damage would be offset.

Green water should no longer be angry.

But Green Water clearly didn't want to deal with him anymore. Hearing this, she just frowned and continued to bandage him steadily.

The wound was treated quickly, and after finishing, Green Water turned around to pack up her tools and prepare to leave.

The Sixth Prince, having failed to achieve his goal and having no other excuse to keep her, immediately grabbed Green Water's hand and placed a jade pendant in it.

“I never order people around for nothing. You heal my wounds; this is my reward to you.”

That was a piece of top-quality jade, worth at least a thousand gold pieces.

It is emerald green and translucent, shimmering with iridescent light.

One of the sixth prince's beautiful concubines once asked him for it, but he refused. Although the concubine had once won his heart, he felt that the jade was not suitable for her.

The jade pendant now lay quietly in Green Water's hand, creating a striking visual contrast with her fair wrist, causing the Sixth Prince's heart to tremble.

This further confirms my belief that this is the true owner of the beautiful jade.

Green Water frowned even more deeply; she simply couldn't see through the Sixth Prince's ways.

However, she didn't want to see through it all.

Green Water pushed the jade pendant back forcefully.

“I am not at your beck and call. I am a doctor. You are sick and I am treating you. It would certainly cost money outside, but in the military camp I am simply helping out of a sense of duty and will not accept a penny. I do not want your things, nor do I need any reward from anyone.”

How can you not be willing to give away something so good?

The sixth prince then tossed the jade pendant back into Green Water's medicine chest.

"I never take back what I've given you. Are you unwilling to accept what I have given you because you intend to use the pretext of healing my injuries to seek greater benefits?"

"You!" Green Water glanced at the guards outside who were craning their necks to look into the tent, feeling utterly helpless.

It's really inappropriate to keep pulling and tugging at this barbarian.

Oh well, this guy will probably stay in the military camp for another day or two anyway. I'll just sneak him back when he's not looking.

"This is ridiculous. If you hadn't called me here, I would never have wanted to see you again."

After saying this, Green Water turned and left.

The sixth prince was initially delighted to have given away his jade pendant, but his unhappiness returned when he heard what Green Water said as she left.

Green Water looked disgusted when she said this; the little military doctor really didn't want to see her.

He had restrained himself a lot today, but I still don't know what he did wrong to upset this woman again.

He gave away a priceless piece of jade, only to be met with the junior military doctor's even greater dislike for him. What a terrible deal!

She didn't want to see him at all, right? Then he would make sure Green Water saw him every day. Until she got used to it, until she was as absent-minded as him if she didn't see him for a day.

The Sixth Prince did indeed do just that. Every day, he would rupture his almost healed wounds and have Green Water come over to bandage them. Unfortunately, no matter how much he provoked her, Green Water was too lazy to pay attention to him and would leave immediately after treating the wounds normally.

He wouldn't even say a word.

He even tried to secretly keep the jade pendant, but luckily his attention was on Green Water, so Green Water didn't succeed.

The more trouble he caused, the less Green Water liked him.

But if he doesn't make a fuss, he won't even get to see Green Water.

Just as the Sixth Prince was considering whether to adjust his strategy, the envoy from the Blue Feather Kingdom had already arrived at the agreed location with weapons and horses, ready to ransom him and take him back to his country.

Wen Zhiming had the guards bring out the sixth prince and tie him to a horse.

The sixth prince wore a mocking expression.

"King of the Northern Frontier, I have obtained so many fine things for you in exchange. Now that you are sending me back, can't you at least have some dignity? Let me ride back on horseback with my head held high. If my men see me all bound and gagged like this, what will I have in front of them in the future? Or is it that the King of the Northern Frontier is still injured and worried that he cannot deal with me?"
