Xiaohe felt that Chen Yunniang was being presumptuous. If General Lu had no feelings for Miss, he wouldn't have married her even if Su Yujiao died.
After all, General Lu went to such lengths for that bitch Su Yujiao, so he must love her terribly.
How could he easily marry someone else?
But Xiaohe didn't say anything; deep down, she hoped that her mistress would succeed!
That way she could marry Lu Ziqian as a concubine. Even though her leg was crippled, she was still pretty!
With General Lu's face alone, she could overlook any flaws.
Early the next morning, Chen Yunniang, accompanied by ten guards, ten palace maids, and ten servants, left the Southern Frontier Kingdom in a grand procession.
Outside Tiger Head Pass, the Crown Prince received a report that Chen Yunniang had brought a secret medicine from the Southern Frontier Kingdom to rescue Lu Ziqian, and that she had only brought thirty people with her.
"Let her in."
Whether her secret medicine was real or fake, the Crown Prince did not want to miss out.
My cousin's condition was more serious than he had imagined. His wife said it was because his wound was infected, which caused his high fever to persist. If the fever continued like this, he would die.
At such a critical moment, Chen Yunniang delivered the secret medicine of the Southern Frontier Kingdom, and he thought that he might as well try it as a last resort, regardless of whether it would work or not.
When Su Yujiao learned that Chen Yunniang had arrived, she disguised herself as an old and dignified imperial physician.
After all, the crown prince spread false information that she was dead in an attempt to trick the Jin Kingdom into surrendering.
If Chen Yunniang knew she was still alive, she would definitely cause trouble, and then there would be endless problems.
Chen Yunniang entered Lu Ziqian's tent, where a large group of imperial physicians were gathered around the bedside, discussing countermeasures.
If you don't look closely, you won't be able to tell that Su Yujiao is mixed in.
Actually, even if she looked closely, she might not be able to tell.
Looking at Lu Ziqian's pale face, Chen Yunniang felt both worried and jealous.
She was worried about his injuries and jealous of Su Yujiao's good fortune, that a man would make such a great sacrifice for her.
How is he doing now?
"Didn't you have a foot injury? How come you're unconscious?"
Upon hearing this, the imperial physicians gave her a disdainful look. They thought she didn't even know basic common sense, yet she dared to pretend to be a divine doctor. She had a lot of nerve.
The other imperial physicians refused to pay her any attention, and Physician Zhou reluctantly offered a few words of explanation.
The crown prince rushed in and immediately asked, "Where is the secret medicine you brought?"
"Take it out and try it out quickly."
Chen Yunniang took out a small wooden box containing a white pill.
"What kind of medicine is this?"
"Is it for treating external injuries?"
How effective is it?
The prince picked it up, examining it and asking questions. Chen Yunniang said it was a Gu worm, which frightened him so much that he threw the box and the medicine away.
His reason for disliking the Southern Frontier Kingdom was that he found it disgusting.
The Southern Frontier Kingdom has always enjoyed associating with these poisonous insects and snakes!
Chen Yunniang picked up the box as if it were a precious treasure, as if she were afraid of dropping and breaking it.
"Your Highness, be careful. This thing is extremely precious. There is only one in the entire Southern Frontier Kingdom. I went through countless hardships to find it."
She referred to the three as one to emphasize its preciousness and to let people know how much she had sacrificed to save Lu Ziqian.
"This is a carrion-eating gu, which specializes in feeding on rotten flesh. When combined with the Southern Xinjiang secret treasure, the Muscle-Regenerating Ointment, it can regenerate flesh and become completely new."
"This Gu was used to treat his foot, and it had a miraculous effect."
"It all depends on whether you dare to try!"
The Crown Prince looked at Physician Zhou, who, after discussing the matter with the other physicians, still couldn't make up his mind.
They had never used Gu to treat patients, so they didn't know how effective it would be, or what the worst possible outcome would be.
Therefore, Physician Zhou looked at Su Yujiao again!
Su Yujiao didn't look at the Gu worm, but instead went to study the bottle of muscle-regenerating ointment.
She put it to her nose and smelled it, then scooped out a little and applied it to her hands, and her eyes lit up immediately.
This contains the ingredient Centella Asiatica, which is mainly used to treat severe wounds such as external injuries, surgical trauma, and burns.
While it's uncertain how effective it will be, it's still much better than doing nothing at all.
Su Yujiao nodded slightly; now she had no choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.
She had no better option; she couldn't just watch Lu Ziqian die of illness.
As for the rotten flesh on his feet, it was supposed to be scraped off anyway, but there were no surgical facilities here, and she didn't have the right surgical tools, fearing that it would backfire and worsen the infection.
Moreover, after the rotten flesh was scraped away, Lu Ziqian's feet were completely useless, which is why she hesitated to make up her mind.
Since Chen Yunniang said that this medicine is a treasure of the Southern Frontier Kingdom, it may be much more effective than ordinary burn medicine.
Although she didn't quite believe that Lu Ziqian's foot could grow new flesh, she still hoped for a miracle.
Chen Yunniang glanced at the old man but didn't think much of it, assuming he was a highly skilled senior physician invited by the Crown Prince.
Chen Yunniang was delighted to see the old man nod, which meant the medicine was truly effective.
If she really cures Lu Ziqian, Lu Ziqian will owe her another life-saving favor.
This time, she was determined to make him marry her.
"How do you use this Gu?"
Chen Yunniang squeezed the white pill hard, and after the outer shell broke, a plump white worm, about the thickness of a thumb, was found inside.
Everyone was terrified, and Chen Yunniang, despite feeling a chill run down her spine, threw the insect into the wooden box.
"Quickly untie the bandages on his feet and expose his feet."
Chen Yunniang looked at Lu Ziqian's bloody and mangled feet and was so shocked by the gruesome scene that she almost vomited.
She poured the white worms onto Lu Ziqian's feet, and a magical scene unfolded.
The moment the large, fat white worm touched the flesh, it transformed into countless tiny white worms the size of ants, burrowing into the rotting flesh with impunity.
Upon witnessing such a disgusting scene, Chen Yunniang rushed out of the tent and vomited.
In about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the rotting flesh on Lu Ziqian's feet was eaten up by the insects.
Countless tiny insects, as if huddling together for warmth, gathered into a large, fat red worm, which then expanded infinitely until it finally exploded and died.
The moment Chen Yunniang saw the insect burst with juice, she covered her mouth in shock. So that's what Nan Sheng meant when she said that every one used meant one less.
This insect is a one-time use insect; it will burst after it has eaten its fill.
"Quickly apply the medicine to him, put on a thick layer, and then wrap it with a cloth strip."
"It should take about a month for new flesh to grow."
Physician Zhou did as instructed.
"Old Divine Doctor, the rest is up to you." Doctor Zhou said respectfully to Su Yujiao, who was in disguise.
Su Yujiao nodded. As long as Lu Ziqian's fever subsided, he should be able to get through this dangerous situation.
Seeing that Chen Yunniang showed no intention of leaving, the Crown Prince reminded her, "Miss Chen, you should go out first. Your cousin needs to rest."
"How dare you be so disrespectful to the Holy Maiden!"
A group of guards from the southern border angrily pointed their swords at the crown prince.
The prince's guards also drew their swords and confronted him, and the situation immediately became tense.
Chen Yunniang said smugly, "Your Highness, please address me as Holy Maiden, otherwise they will not accept it."
