It's always the same.
On the other hand, the scar on Qiao Jingjing's back, the one lashed by the unscrupulous strategist Chen Tian in Lujiang City that year, has been almost completely healed thanks to the legendary healer Hua Tuo.
Sun Ce always said that her scars were also beautiful.
Speaking of the legendary physician Hua Tuo, he is currently still in Jiangdong.
Cao Cao was eager to bring Hua Tuo back as soon as possible.
However, Hua Tuo himself was a wise man. He came to Jiangdong in person and felt the huge difference between Jiangdong in the past few years and before. Hua Tuo was very willing to continue in Jiangdong.
Jiangdong provided him with an excellent environment for practicing medicine, allowing him to systematically and orderly pass on his medical skills.
Great physicians always possess the heart of sages.
I only wish there were no illnesses or suffering in the world, and I would rather the medicine on the shelves be covered in dust.
Hua Tuo was not stingy with his medical skills, fearing that others would learn them.
Sun Ce created many conditions for Hua Tuo's medical skills to flourish.
Qiao Jingjing said, "You're always afraid that I'll be scared when I see your scars, but I'm not! It's just that I've heard older people say that it's okay when you're young, but the fear is that these old injuries will flare up and hurt again when you get older. Why don't you take advantage of Hua Tuo being here and have him properly treat these old injuries for you? I'm just worried that some of the injuries you had back then might have been broken or fractured, and because of limited resources at the time, they didn't heal as well as they could have..."
Qiao Jingjing believed that Sun Ce had no reason to refuse her suggestion.
But Sun Ce rejected Qiao Jingjing without hesitation.
"No need! Your husband has thick skin, it's nothing. He doesn't need treatment! How can he compare to you? You have delicate skin, you are a stunning beauty in Jiangdong, we can't have even a scratch on your face."
Sun Ce really knows how to make Qiao Jingjing happy.
He had many words of praise for her, which always touched people's hearts.
But Qiao Jingjing is still Qiao Jingjing.
In the following days, Qiao Jingjing discussed the establishment of a medical clinic with Zhu Zhi, the prefect of Wu County.
With Hua Tuo by her side, Qiao Jingjing casually asked him:
"Can these old scars on Wu Hou's body still fade? Back then, it was thanks to the divine physician Hua Tuo that Da Qiao was able to remove the scars on her face. Indeed, once those scars were gone, my luck improved considerably!"
Qiao Jingjing deliberately said some lighthearted things to cover up her worries about Sun Ce.
Hua Tuo looked at Lady Da Qiao in front of him, the most powerful and respected woman in the entire Jiangdong region.
She is so young.
There should be many more good days ahead!
Hua Tuo couldn't bear it.
At that time, Hua Tuo dismissed all his disciples and told Qiao Jingjing the truth.
"I really can't believe that Lord Wu is still alive today."
Upon hearing Hua Tuo's words, Qiao Jingjing's face turned completely bloodless.
Qiao Jingjing bit her lip.
Did her worst fears come true?
Now that Hua Tuo had spoken, he would no longer hide it from Qiao Jingjing.
"As a doctor, besides considering the patient's condition, I should also be open and honest with the patient's family, rather than deliberately concealing information."
Hua Tuo invited Qiao Jingjing to take a seat.
"We cannot tell the Grand Madam about Wu Hou's health condition. She is old and cannot withstand such a blow."
Lady Qiao was not only the wife of the Marquis of Wu, who trusted her deeply, but also in charge of the agricultural economy of Wu County.
The pacification of Jiangdong by the Marquis of Wu and the development of its economy and people's livelihood are a blessing for the people of Jiangdong.
In all my travels, I have never seen such a young and promising hero as Lord Wu.
After much deliberation, I have decided to tell Madam Qiao the truth about the agreement that Lord Wu made with me years ago.
It was both a blow and the truth.
Qiao Jingjing was about to cry.
She had a bad feeling.
She felt distressed by Sun Ce's situation, which was difficult to prevent.
She only had two years of good life!
She's an agricultural worker, hardworking and dedicated, creating a good life with her own hands. All she wants is to marry someone she loves and live an ordinary life.
I never expect everything to go smoothly.
but!
Is the good life she worked so hard to achieve going to be taken away by God?
Hua Tuo looked at Qiao Jingjing, his eyes filled with tears.
Hua Tuo shook his head helplessly:
"When Lord Wu was on a western expedition to Jiangxia that spring, he was wounded once. The arrow had come very close to his heart, and the wound was extremely deep."
That time, I treated the wound for Lord Wu.
Lord Wu was a true man. He pulled the arrow, an inch deep, from his wound without a sound, only instructing everyone not to utter a word, especially not to let Madam Qiao know.
Qiao Jingjing's tears rolled down her cheeks.
Hua Tuo still shook his head.
"Although Wu Hou's wound was fortunately stitched up that time, a piece of embroidery was left behind. It seems that this was due to the wicked intentions of the other party."
Hua Tuo traveled all over China practicing medicine, treating knife wounds, sword wounds, typhoid fever, colds, poisonous tongue bites, and even the most difficult-to-treat embroidered pieces of skin.
"Because this place is very close to the human heart, we can only leave it at that and let it go. I was certain that Lord Wu would not live more than three months."
But Sun Ce had already lived two or three years longer.
Qiao Jingjing wiped away tears with red eyes.
She now understood why Sun Ce always prevented her from touching his chest whenever she reached out, instead using a passionate embrace to confuse her.
It turned out he knew everything, but turned a blind eye, and was afraid she would worry.
When Qiao Jingjing learned of this, she naturally dared not show anything in front of Sun Ce.
She also blamed herself.
Why do we always think about what will happen in the future, instead of living each day to the fullest?
You always have to think about what will happen tomorrow, and what will happen later!
