Chapter 181 The only way to pay this life to the prince
As soon as Doctor Liu finished speaking, someone questioned him, "Pressing your hand on the wound will definitely make the bleeding worse. Are you sure this is really okay, Mr. Liu?"
Listening to the chorus of doubts, Xu Xiao shouted coldly, "Shut up, everyone! If you want a spanking, just say so!"
Seeing the hesitation in his eyes, Doctor Liu stamped his foot and said, "I personally saw Princess Shihan use this method when she sawed off someone's arm."
If they could stop bleeding from a wound as big as a broken arm, what about an arrow wound?
Song Yanxi did as he said without hesitation. Afraid that one hand was not strong enough, she simply overlapped her hands and pressed them on Mo Jinchuan's wound.
Blood quickly flowed out from between her fingers, like branches of wintersweet, winding and blooming on the back of her hand, the red was shocking.
Feeling the warmth in her palm gradually fade away, Song Yanxi's voice trembled unconsciously, "Prince, please don't fall asleep, do you hear me?"
Mo Jinchuan's eyelids trembled slightly. He clearly heard what she said, but he didn't have the strength to respond.
Song Yanxi wanted to say something to him, but her voice was trembling violently, and her vision was blurry for some reason.
She blinked, tears mixed with blood dripping down her cheeks, and then she realized that she had cried without knowing when.
Song Yanxi sniffed, leaned her head forward, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Your Highness, please hold on. You saved me with your life, and I can never repay you in this lifetime. If anything happens to you again, I will have to give my life as compensation to Your Highness."

Time passed by bit by bit, and the hearts of the people waiting outside the door had sunk to the bottom.
Some people couldn't bear the grief in their hearts and knelt down one after another. Cheng Duan opened his mouth to ask those people to stand up, but he felt as if there was a thousand pounds of weight in his throat.
Xu Xiao put his hands behind his back and turned his back to the crowd. He said in a deep voice, "Pass the order and block the news. No one is allowed to leave the general's mansion until the prince wakes up."
Upon hearing this, no one in the courtyard responded.
Although he said he woke up, everyone present knew that His Royal Highness Prince Jin might never wake up again.
The person closest to him said with red eyes, "I'm going to skin that beast alive right now and send him to Hades' Palace to pave the way for the prince."
The people around him didn't even try to stop him, and some even wanted to join him.
His Royal Highness Prince Jin had just returned to the border town yesterday, and today he was assassinated right under their noses and was seriously injured and was in critical condition. If anything really happened to him, they would have no face to live in this world anymore.
After the first one, there was the second one, and then two more people turned and walked out, cursing and saying that they wanted to grind the captured assassin into ashes.
Xu Xiao turned around with a sullen face, and was about to scold when he heard the tightly closed door behind him being opened with a "click--creak".
He froze instantly, and so did the others, some standing and some kneeling, staring intently at the slender figure at the door with bated breath.
I was afraid that Song Yanxi wouldn't speak, and I was even more afraid that if she spoke, she would say something that no one wanted to hear.
Everyone's eyes were red, and they tried their best to endure it.
Doctor Liu took two steps forward and looked at Song Yanxi's face covered in blood. He trembled slightly as he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to her, "Child, wipe your face first."
Song Yanxi stretched out her hand, but did not take the handkerchief. Instead, she folded her hands and stretched them forward slightly, then bowed deeply to everyone.
Immediately, suppressed crying sounds were heard from the yard.
Doctor Liu felt his legs were weak, and he had to rely on Doctor Xu beside him to support him before he could stand steadily.
He asked in a trembling voice, "The prince?"
Song Yanxi lowered her eyes and said in a sad voice, "Yanxi feels ashamed of the trust of Elder Liu and the generals. The prince..."
She stopped talking at the right moment, and all she could hear was crying in the yard.
These big and strong men who usually killed countless enemies on the battlefield were either kneeling or sitting and crying loudly.
Cheng Duan clenched his fists, pushed through the crowd and walked in front of Song Yanxi. With bloodshot eyes, he asked, "Princess, I just want to hear the truth from you. What happened to the prince?"
Song Yanxi pinched her palms, forced out two tears, and said, "General Xu, General Cheng, please come in with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crying in the yard could no longer be suppressed.
Doctor Liu stumbled after him, muttering the word "shouldn't" over and over again.
If Song Yanxi hadn't been worried about being discovered by so many people, she might have told him the truth on the spot to save the old man from worrying.
If something bad happens due to the shock again, it would be a real sin.
Seeing this, the others also wanted to follow, but before they could wipe their tears, the door in front of them had been slammed shut.
An Yi stood at the door with a cold face and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, please go back."
"We won't leave! I won't leave unless you see the prince today, even if you kill me!" The burly man who had just shouted that he was going to kill the assassin suddenly made up his mind and rushed in.
Before he could get close, he was knocked away by An Yi's hand, and his face was covered in mud.
The others knew that they were no match for him and did not dare to move forward, but they were also unwilling to leave just like that.
Someone cried out in a tearful voice, "Your Highness is blessed by heaven, and nothing will happen to you. I won't leave. I want to stay here and protect you."
"Me too!"
"Me too!"

"Princess, you...what are you doing..." Military Doctor Liu only needed to look at Mo Jinchuan lying on the bed and immediately understood what was going on.
Song Yanxi bowed respectfully towards him and praised him, "Old Liu is indeed a master of the medical field. Nothing can be hidden from your eyes."
Doctor Liu waved his hand and slowly sat down on a chair beside him.
He murmured, "I'm really old. I can't stand being frightened anymore."
"Scared?" Xu Xiao and Cheng Duan exchanged glances. Just as they were about to say something, they saw Doctor Liu's face fall. "What are you yelling about? Are you going to let those people with ulterior motives out there know that the prince is fine?"
Cheng Duan pinched himself hard and asked in a low voice, "Is the prince okay?"
The room was filled with the stench of blood, and there was blood everywhere on the floor, chair, Song Yanxi's face, and body.
Mo Jinchuan, who was lying in a coma on the bed, had a pale face and the rise and fall of his chest was so weak that it was almost inaudible.
Is this okay?
Even if you tell him that the prince is dying, he might be more receptive.
Without waiting for Doctor Liu to start scolding, Xu Xiao said directly, "You young man, you have no control over your words. If you continue to talk nonsense, you will be punished with forty military sticks first."
He glared at Cheng Duan, then turned to look at Song Yanxi and said in a gentle tone, "Princess, could you please tell us the specific condition of the prince's injury?"
Looking at Xu Xiao who seemed like a different person in front of him, Cheng Duan scratched his head. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Song Yanxi call out "Uncle Xu".
Xu Xiao was startled. "Does the princess recognize me?"
