No sooner had he finished speaking than a sarcastic remark came from outside.
"What do you mean by 'no women in the military'? What's wrong with women?"
Upon hearing the sound, the two looked up simultaneously. Wang Yan had a cold expression, while Deputy General Zhang was caught in a dilemma. After all, the general had unknowingly taken advantage of her. Even if Sister Qin was a widow, it was still done in public, and it was to save someone. It seemed unreasonable for the general not to take responsibility.
Qin Qing also wore a cold expression, feeling extremely displeased! She had kindly saved the patient, but who knew that the patient would tell her to leave as soon as he woke up? Why? And they even discriminated against women!
Seeing that he didn't speak and his handsome face was full of indifference, Qin Qing was also annoyed.
"The general may not remember what happened yesterday, but I remember it perfectly! Isn't that right, Lieutenant General Zhang?"
Wang Yan frowned. All he did was save his life. As a citizen of the Tianlong Kingdom, wasn't that what he should do?
Thinking this, he looked at Deputy General Zhang, only to see the other man looking troubled...
Seeing that his general knew nothing, Deputy General Zhang resigned himself to walking over and whispering.
"General, yesterday, in order to save you, Sister Qin... had physical intimacy with you. It would be really not right to send her away now!"
Wang Yan was shocked, his usually calm and composed expression now showing disbelief! He stared incredulously at Deputy General Zhang, then at Qin Qing, only to see the latter's "you owe me" expression. He froze…
Is this going to make him take responsibility? But that's not what he wanted...
Seeing the conflicted look on his face, Qin Qing assumed that the deputy general had just whispered about her saving people last night, so she naturally felt no guilt.
Little did he know, Wang Yan, a straight man, was already struggling with his feelings. He had never thought about marriage, otherwise his mother would not have moved to Qingcheng to spite him!
This time, to save his life, a widow sacrificed her chastity; it wouldn't be right for her not to take responsibility...
Thinking it over, he pursed his lips and scrutinized the woman in front of him.
She's not ugly! She's a bit older, but she still has a certain charm and her figure is alright. Although she's wearing coarse linen clothes, overall she's still quite presentable.
Noticing the scrutinizing gaze of the person before her, Qin Qing stood calmly in place. She hadn't done anything wrong; she had indeed saved this guy! But something still felt off… What was with this general's eyes? It made her feel a little uncomfortable!
After a long pause, Wang Yan nodded with difficulty. As a grown man, he really couldn't slander a woman's innocence like that, especially since she had saved him.
"You may stay, but you must not wander off. Military discipline is strict, and if anything happens, even I, the general, cannot protect you!"
Seeing him compromise, Qin Qing nodded repeatedly, a smile appearing on her lips, clearly relieved. Finally, she could stay openly and legitimately!
In Wang Yan's eyes, this scene showed that she was relieved to see that he was willing to take responsibility. He couldn't help but sigh. Just as he was about to get up, he aggravated his wound, and the pain made his face turn extremely ugly.
Qin Qing rushed over and subconsciously lifted his outer robe. Seeing that blood was indeed seeping out, she quickly helped him lie down, complaining incessantly.
"You're already injured like this, why are you still running around? Your wounds have reopened. General, can't you give people a break?"
Seeing her tone and tense expression, Wang Yan was taken aback. He opened his mouth but said nothing. This woman cared about him so much, so she must really be interested in him. Perhaps... he could consider this relationship.
Qin Qing had no idea what he was thinking. She was focused on removing the bandages, reapplying the medicine, and re-bandaging him. She marveled at the magic of the wound medicine, thinking that it was indeed an essential tool for a divine doctor and a hemostatic wonder!
Vice General Zhang watched from the side, feeling a sense of relief. His general was always straightforward and cold-faced, and all the young ladies in the capital were terrified and cautious. Apart from the eldest princess, probably no one would dare to marry him. However, the royal status was sensitive, and his general didn't care about all the scheming and intrigue.
After being single for so many years, he was finally looking forward to something, and he was happy. Although the other woman was a widow and a bit older, she was still quite attractive...
However, when Qin Qing first came to this world, the original owner of this body did not look like this. Although she was a beauty in terms of facial features, she was slightly chubby and had dry skin. It was thanks to her months of traveling through mountains and rivers to burn off the excess fat and paying attention to skin care, using all the face masks in her space, that she looked like she was only in her early thirties, completely different from before.
That noon, Qin Qing was silently munching on a cornbread bun—after all, she couldn't just randomly shove up her spatial storage—when a soldier walked in with a solemn expression! Seeing that there was nothing for her to do, she went to a corner and quietly munched on her bun.
"Reporting to the general, the deserter has been captured and is currently outside the camp!"
One sentence made Qin Qing so excited that she almost choked! She secretly took out water from her spatial storage and swallowed the steamed bun, then quickly looked towards the door.
Two soldiers were seen carrying a man in, and one of them pushed the man to his knees.
Wang Yan gave him a cold look, and an inexplicable pressure made it hard for him to breathe.
The man had his head down, so Qin Qing couldn't see his face at all. The man in her memory was also somewhat blurry. Feeling anxious, she quietly walked over.
Wang Yan also noticed her movements, glanced at her but said nothing, and continued to stare at the man on the ground. After a while, he spoke without any mercy.
"Military law enforcement action! Fifty lashes will be administered, and any repeat offender will be executed without exception!"
Without even asking the reason, he made a conclusion, which shows how cold and ruthless he is. Qin Qing was standing aside and still couldn't see his face. Just as she was hesitating whether to pretend to fall and see, she heard the disheveled man on the ground speak.
"Pshaw, military law?"
A sneer, a familiar voice, reached Qin Qing's ears, and she froze on the spot, a feeling of heartache welling up inside her...
Overwhelmed by inexplicable guilt and self-reproach, Qin Qing's eyes welled up with tears. Just as the soldiers were about to pull him away, Qin Qing suddenly shouted!
"etc!"
The man on the ground didn't react. Wang Yan frowned and looked at her. The soldiers also stopped... They roughly knew what had happened last night. Offending such a powerful doctor during the battlefield was not a good thing!
Wang Yan looked at her seriously!
"Military law dictates this; what are you doing?"
Even his future wife couldn't stop him from enforcing military law.
Qin Qing had no idea what he was thinking, and just laughed!
"The general is right. Military law is strict, and we certainly cannot let any deserter go unpunished. But what if there's more to this story?"
As she said this, she felt incredibly guilty. Who knew what the hidden story was? This was her son. At worst, she would give her life for his. She had saved the general's life last night, and she would give her son's life in return!
Hearing her say this, and with such a determined look in her eyes, Wang Yan's vision blurred. After a few seconds of eye contact, he looked at the man on the ground.
"You may all step back."
Soon only the three of them were left in the room, and Wang Yan spoke again in a forceful tone.
"If you have something to hide, this general may handle the matter accordingly!"
After saying that, he glanced at Qin Qing and asked, "How about that? Is that alright?"
