Chapter 261: Saving the Third Uncle
After everyone left, Su Yue was the only one left in the tent, along with a soldier who had been signaled by the marshal to stay and watch over Su Yue when he left.
Although Marshal Zhou was very satisfied with what the young man did and said, he was a newcomer after all, so he felt more at ease if he sent someone to watch over him.
"Could you please let me see Doctor Xiu's prescription?" Su Yue walked to the soldier who had been watching her movements and asked.
"The marshal has ordered that you just need to take the medicine daily according to the prescription. You just need to stay here." The soldier was unmoved when he heard Su Yue's words.
"That's fine." Su Yue smiled flatteringly, but didn't care much. Looking at the sky outside which was about to turn dark, she had some calculations in her mind.
Then Su Yue turned around, picked up the clean white cloth beside her, and began to change the bandage for her third uncle under the gaze of the soldiers.
It was normal to peel off the previous bandages, but when she peeled off the last layer, she encountered resistance. Su Yue was stunned and did not dare to use force. She could only tilt her head to take a look at what was inside the bandage.
It was not a big deal to see it. After reading it, Su Yue just felt furious, but because there were people watching, she had to hold it back.
The inside of the old bandage in Su Yue's hand had already been stuck to the flesh and blood on her third uncle's chest. Su Yue exerted a little force and could clearly see the old bandage, with the old scab and a little bit of fresh flesh and blood, coming off. Then blood began to flow from Gu Qingzhi's wound.
This kind of pain was no less than having the wound torn open alive, and the pain in Su Yue's lowered eyes was even more obvious.
This Doctor Xiu never took good care of my third uncle. The old bandage has obviously grown together with my third uncle's wound!
Then Su Yue closed her eyes and pulled off the old bandage with force.
A short pain is worse than a long one. If this old bandage is not taken off, my third uncle’s injury will never heal.
Blood gushed out, and Su Yue directly took out the golden wound medicine and poured it on. The soldier looked at her and didn't dare to pour too much, but just looked at her and took care of it casually.
In the eyes of this soldier, what Su Yue did seemed more like a perfunctory act.
"Here, this is the boiled medicine. You will be responsible for feeding it to me from now on." The soldier took the steaming medicine from the door and brought it to Su Yue.
The smell of medicine floated to Su Yue's nose along the hot air, and it was indeed mixed with the smell of Datura.
Su Yue lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes hiding her emotions.
"Okay, it's too hot now. Wait a minute. It's windy here. The tent curtains and windows must be closed. Otherwise, the general's wound will be affected by the cold wind and it will be bad."
Su Yue watched the soldier put the medicine bowl on the table next to him, then she walked to the door and carefully adjusted the door curtain.
Through the gap, it was dark outside.
It seemed that this was the time when the guards at the door were taking over, and it looked particularly chaotic.
"The medicine is almost ready, let the general drink it." Seeing that Su Yue did not move, the soldier reminded him.
"Well, it's almost done." Su Yue looked at the cooled medicine and shot out the silver needle that she had secretly held in her palm when she was tidying up the door curtain at a very fast speed.
Because of the training he had in Medicine King Valley, Su Yue could still accurately shoot the soldier even if he didn't look at him.
Then the soldier felt a slight pain in his scalp, as if he was bitten by something. When he was about to touch what it was, he suddenly felt dizzy.
"Young man, are you sleepy? If you are, take a nap." Su Yue's voice suddenly rang out, lingering in the soldier's mind, and then he felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier.
"Brother, brother?" Su Yue didn't feel relieved until she heard the even breathing of the person in front of her. She called out a few more times, and only when she saw no response did she feel completely relieved.
Su Yue quickly turned around, took out the silver needles, and inserted them into Gu Qingzhi's various acupoints one by one. Su Yue's speed was extremely fast, which was also attributed to the previous training in Yaowang Valley.
After a while, after all the silver needles were inserted, Gu Qingzhi's right fingertips gradually changed from pale to bright red and then to brown.
Then Su Yue took out another silver needle and pierced Gu Qingzhi's finger. Drops of black blood gushed out quickly, and Su Yue took the medicine bowl next to her to catch them.
Only when bright red blood started to flow out did Su Yue let out a long sigh of relief.
The poison of my third uncle has been almost cured.
Seeing the medicine in the bowl in her hand, Su Yue looked around, directly lifted the sheet under Gu Qingzhi's body, poured it under the bed, and then quickly put the sheet down.
Because there was already a smell of medicine lingering in the tent, even if the medicine was poured on the ground, the smell it emitted was not very abrupt.
After doing all this, Su Yue deftly untied the bandage she had just applied. She had been careful when she bandaged herself just now and had tied it very loosely, so she untied it quickly.
After untying it, she saw the hideous wound she had just seen. Before, she was being watched by the soldier, so she did not dare to expose herself and did not show any strange expression. But now, her eyes were full of pain.
Doctor Xiu, in order to delay the healing of the wound, not only did they not change the bandage frequently, they didn't even apply any wound medicine.
The medicine she had just applied was not enough, so she sprinkled it carefully again.
In Su Yue's heart, Doctor Xiu had been marked as dead by her.
It’s a good thing that the temperature is not too high now, otherwise, if Third Uncle was poisoned by the mandrake and fell into a coma, his body would be ruined.
The moment the medicine touched the wound, he could clearly hear his third uncle gasping.
Then my third uncle's chest heaved and his mouth opened slightly as if he was about to cough.
Su Yue was quick to give his third uncle another shot in the neck, and only then did he see his third uncle calm down.
Su Yue lowered her eyes secretly. It was a close call. If her third uncle had coughed just now, she would have been exposed.
So Su Yue didn't delay any longer and quickly tied the new bandage again.
"Who are you?" A weak and familiar voice came from above his head, and Su Yue paused.
"It's me, your third uncle." Su Yue lowered her voice and looked up, her eyes full of tears.
"Yuer, why are you here?" Gu Qingzhi was very weak after just waking up, and even though he was shocked, his voice was not loud.
"Uncle San, don't worry about it for now. I want to tell you something important." Su Yue stood up at this time and told Gu Qingzhi in detail about her and General Yang's plan.
"Hmph, a man named Zhou is unworthy of being the marshal of a country!" After hearing Su Yue's words, Gu Qingzhi's eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.
Su Yue looked at her third uncle's expression. Fearing that her uncle would worry, she naturally did not tell him about the Second Prince and Marshal Zhou's joint efforts to force her into marriage.
"Third uncle, your injury is not healed yet, you have to pretend. We will make plans after you are fully recovered." Su Yue gave another order.
Even though Gu Qingzhi had thousands of questions, such as how Yue'er came to this border, and why Marshal Zhou, who had always been at peace with him, suddenly attacked him, he knew that now was not the time to ask these questions.
"Okay, then Third Uncle will listen to Yue'er and pretend to be unconscious first." After Gu Qingzhi agreed, he lay down directly, looking as if he had never woken up.
After Su Yue had packed everything up, he looked at the unconscious soldier and then walked over.
The most important detoxification work has been completed. All that remains is to change the medicine on time. Also, the medicine that was sent here must not be allowed to be touched by my third uncle.
What we need to do now is to buy time.
"What's wrong with me?" When the soldier woke up slowly, he saw Su Yue looking at him with worry in her eyes.
