"The battlefield is always cruel, and every change of dynasties has been built on the accumulation of blood and flesh."
Li Shengyi understood the cruelty of the battlefield. Even though she lived in such a peaceful era, every time she recalled her ancestors' desperate resistance against the enemy, she would always have the urge to pick up a sword and go to the battlefield.
But when she actually saw Meng Jiuan carrying the injured and unconscious Shen Wangchen back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Meng Jiuan was also injured, most of the wounds were on his arms, and there were also a few bloodstains on his cheeks.
His expression was calm, as if he was no longer surprised.
But when he saw his little daughter running towards him, he couldn't help but frown.
He looked up at his good friend who was standing not far away in a black cloak, and there was a hint of disapproval between his brows.
"Shengyi, what are you doing out here? Go back to the house!"
This was the first time Meng Jiuan was so mean to his youngest daughter.
Li Shengyi was not afraid of him.
She ran to the two of them and frowned when she smelled a strong smell of blood. "Where's the doctor? Uncle Wu said he called the doctor early in the morning."
“Uncle Shen, he…”
Meng Jiuan would not use a sword on his daughter.
So after he was angry with his little daughter, she not only did not run away crying, but led them to the nearest room. He frowned, but in the end he did not say those fierce words to drive them away.
"He's not dead, he's just too tired and fell asleep." Meng Jiuan said softly, "Shengyi, can you go back to your room first? Second Daddy is dirty."
"Why is it dirty?" Li Shengyi turned around and looked at him.
Meng Jiuan turned his head away when he saw her pure eyes, "Second father is covered in blood, and Shen Wangchen is also covered in blood..."
"But these are all merits, aren't they? Just like the scars on your body, they are all merits left for the people of Da Chu."
Li Shengyi pushed open the door and found a charcoal brazier already burning inside. Three doctors came forward and carried the patient to a soft couch prepared nearby.
All the movements were performed smoothly, as if someone had arranged them in advance.
When the armor on his body was taken off, the wounds on his skin were also exposed.
During this time, Meng Jiuan just bared his teeth and didn't even make a sound of pain.
On the other hand, Shen Wangchen, who had fallen unconscious from exhaustion, cried out in pain when the doctor cut off his underwear, even though he was in a coma.
Meng Jiuan scoffed lightly when he heard the sound. When he raised his head again, he saw his little daughter looking at him with a frown. "Heartbroken?"
Li Shengyi rolled his eyes at him, "If I were injured like this, wouldn't you feel bad?"
Meng Jiuan only put himself in the situation for a moment before his face darkened with anger. "Who dares!"
His fist slammed into the soft couch, causing him to grimace in pain. "If anyone dares to get you hurt, I'll beat him so hard that his parents won't even recognize him."
"No one in this world dares to bully my people."
Li Shengyi was amused by his words. He watched as the servants walked out of the room carrying basins of blood. The wounds on Meng Jiuan and the other man were finally revealed.
Reality is not acting.
Even though it was freezing cold in winter and the blood flow would slow down, the wounds on their bodies were still bleeding.
The cuts were so severe that the flesh was still showing through. Li Shengyi couldn't bear to see it and turned his head away.
Meng Jiuan's eyes were on his little daughter from beginning to end. When he saw his little daughter turn her head away, he thought that the wounds on her body made her feel sick.
Feeling a little unhappy, he started to chase them away again.
"It's the same whether you leave or not. I can't stop you from getting hurt, but I can... make it a little less painful for you."
Meng Jiuan had been struggling in the military camp since he was a child, and even the best medicine could cause pain for a while.
Does my little daughter have any good remedy to relieve the pain?
Meng Jiuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and relying on the fact that his injury was not serious, he immediately waved at her.
"Shengyi, if you have any prescription that can help Second Father relieve his pain, please tell us so that these doctors can learn from you."
The doctor beside him also nodded in agreement. "Yes, young lady, the three of us have been practicing medicine for many years. We do have a prescription to relieve pain, but we have only heard of it and have never seen it. I wonder if you could show it to the three of us so that we can take a look?"
Li Shengyi blushed immediately, "How could I know anything about medicine?"
She ran forward, came to Meng Jiuan, and blew on the wound on his arm. "A long time ago, my mother...my mother said that just blowing on it will make it heal, and the pain will go away."
Three doctors stood by and watched this scene, and couldn't help shaking their heads and chuckling.
It's just a trick to coax children. If the pain can really go away by blowing on it, then what are the points for doctors like these?
Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Shengyi finished speaking, Meng Jiuan, who had been smiling, slowly frowned.
He looked at his little daughter who was bending in front of him, puffing out her cheeks and blowing gently on her wound, his vision obscured by a mist.
The next moment, the scene in front of him suddenly turned into a garden.
"...Mother, Song'er is in so much pain!"
A deafening wail echoed in the garden.
In just a short moment, a woman in lake green with a kind face appeared in front of him.
"Song'er fell again? Look, it's okay to fall. If you fall and stand up again, Song'er will become a man and grow up."
"Okay, Song'er, don't cry. Mother will give you a massage and blow on it, and the pain will go away..."
The woman's appearance had long become blurred, but her gentle voice kept echoing in Meng Jiuan's ears.
The pair of lips that turned white due to blood loss opened slightly, and he heard him speak silently, "Mother..."
"Um?"
Li Shengyi was close by, and as she was trying her best to blow air, she seemed to vaguely hear what the person in front of her said.
When she looked up, she saw tears in Meng Jiuan's eyes, and his eyes seemed to be looking at something...
“Cough cough cough…”
A cough from outside the door interrupted the atmosphere in the room.
Qin Songmo walked into the house with a sick look. After seeing the injuries on his two friends, he didn't say much.
But when he walked into Meng Jiuan, he put his hand on his little daughter's shoulder and said, "The kitchen has prepared pea yellow. Would you like to take a look?"
"Dad, I'm five, almost six, not three," Li Shengyi raised his eyes and met the man's gaze. "Whatever you want to talk about, I'll leave."
"You don't have to come up with such lame excuses every time."
Qin Songmo showed no embarrassment at all when his youngest daughter exposed his true identity.
After his little daughter left, he sat in the upper seat and waited for the doctor to apply medicine to his friend and leave, then he slightly opened his bloodless lips.
"Chu Huaifeng, caught?"
