Chapter 231 Repayment
"Your Highness!"
Meng Lingge's heart skipped a beat. Wen Zhiming fell from the horse with great force, and she used all her strength to catch him, but was knocked to the ground by the force.
In order to maintain Wen Zhiming's image as a prince, although everyone in the military camp knew that Wen Zhiming shared a room with her, she still tried her best to keep her distance from Wen Zhiming in front of outsiders.
However, ever since Wen Zhiming left the military camp today, she has been restless and felt that something was about to happen, so she ignored the stares of others and waited at the entrance of the military camp.
Seeing Wen Zhiming covered in blood and unconscious, she was terrified and could barely speak.
Cao Ran and the others gathered around, picked up Wen Zhiming, and carried him into the military camp.
"The prince is injured! Quickly summon the army doctor!"
Meng Lingge hurriedly followed behind, but Qiu Lan grabbed her and whispered, "Miss, slow down, you're pregnant."
Meng Lingge placed her hand on her abdomen. Fortunately, the impact had not affected the baby. Her steps slowed slightly, but her eyes still followed Wen Zhiming.
The sixth prince, who was bound behind him, had the rag in his mouth fall out. Seeing this, he shouted, "Hey, I'm injured too! Doesn't anyone care whether I live or die?"
General Liu put him down from his horse and pulled him inside.
"Sixth Prince, rest assured, I will personally escort you to rest. I will send a military doctor over shortly. I will make sure you do not die here."
General Liu pulled the Sixth Prince along very quickly, and soon they passed by Meng Lingge. The Sixth Prince had just seen Meng Lingge showing concern for Wen Zhiming, and guessed that she must be Wen Zhiming's woman.
He was no match for Wen Zhiming on the battlefield and was even captured as a prisoner, so he hated Wen Zhiming to the core.
He knew Wen Zhiming wouldn't dare kill him, but the man's perverse sense of humor made him interested in the slender woman in front of him.
We have to make Wen Zhiming uncomfortable no matter what.
"Let me touch this slender waist..."
As he spoke, his wolf claws reached out. Although they were bound by ropes, his hands still had some room to move, which should be just enough for him to reach up to the beauty's waist.
Meng Lingge and Qiu Lan were both focused on Wen Zhiming, while General Liu was only concerned with pulling the Sixth Prince forward. They hadn't expected him to be so bold, taking advantage of a woman while being tied up like this in front of everyone.
Fortunately, Green Water had been following behind Meng Lingge the whole time, and she caught the Sixth Prince's wolfish claws out as soon as they were extended.
Although she could tell from the Sixth Prince's attire that he was no ordinary person, she knew that if the Sixth Prince succeeded, Meng Lingge would inevitably become the subject of gossip. So, without thinking too much, she pinched the silver needle and stabbed it into the wolf's claws.
"Hiss..." The sixth prince was pierced by the silver needle and quickly withdrew his hand, glaring angrily at the little girl who had stabbed him: "You dare to stab me? You're tired of living!"
Green Water was startled by his glare and fearfully hid her hands behind her back, but mustered her courage and said, "You are not allowed to bully my young lady."
By this time, everyone had realized what was happening. General Liu pushed the sixth prince to the ground and then proceeded to punch and kick him.
"So the Sixth Prince was itchy all over. You should have said so earlier! I would have cured this bad habit of yours sooner!"
How dare the Sixth Prince touch their Princess Consort? He's asking for trouble!
The prince had previously instructed that the sixth prince should be treated with courtesy, but this scoundrel from Lanyu Kingdom was completely ignorant of manners. He was the one who was disrespectful to the princess first, so he couldn't be blamed for using force.
Knowing the truth, the prince certainly wouldn't blame him.
Even after being beaten, the sixth prince still stared intently at Green Water.
"You brat, if you ever fall into my hands, I'll stab you from head to toe with silver needles!"
General Liu kicked him twice more before nodding apologetically to Meng Lingge and escorting the Sixth Prince away.
Green Water was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.
Meng Lingge patted her hand and comforted her, "Thanks to you today. Don't worry, that man is a prisoner of the enemy country, he will be locked up, he can't hurt you."
Qiu Lan walked affectionately to the other side and put her arm around Lu Shui. "You usually seem timid, but you're really reliable when it matters. Do you always carry silver needles with you? Won't you accidentally prick yourself?"
Upon hearing the topic of medicine, Lu Shui immediately calmed down.
"It was true at first, but I've been carrying silver needles with me for years now, and I'm used to it."
She cherishes her life now.
If her master hadn't redeemed her from the brothel, she would still be stuck in the brothel, making a living by selling her body.
No dignity, no freedom.
It's worse than death.
Her master wasn't too strict with her, but she knew she hadn't started learning medicine early enough, and she was afraid of disappointing her master by not learning well enough. For the first two years, she got up at dawn every day to identify medicinal herbs and practice acupuncture. Whenever she felt sleepy, she would use silver needles to prick her hands to stay awake. In just two years, she learned skills that others took four or five years to acquire.
She was grateful to her master.
But not long ago, her master told her that the person she should really thank was Du Yuanhua, the eldest son of the Du family.
When the master first met her, he thought she was intelligent and a promising candidate for medicine, but he didn't have enough money to redeem her. He only mentioned it briefly to Young Master Du, who provided the full amount of money for the master to buy her.
At that time, Young Master Du was not as good at business as he was then, and he could not directly withdraw money from the accounting office. That money should have been his own private savings accumulated over many years.
Lu Shui wasn't good at expressing gratitude, but she was determined to repay Young Master Du.
So when Du Yuanhua asked her to take care of Meng Lingge, she happily agreed. Even after learning that the route had been changed and they were not going to the capital, she still resolutely chose to go with Meng Lingge.
Young Master Du likes Miss Meng, so taking good care of Miss Meng would be a way of repaying Young Master Du.
Meng Lingge usually has Qiu Lan taking care of her, and her health is fine, so there's nothing she needs to do. Today, she solved a small problem for Meng Lingge, and although she still feels a little scared when she thinks of the Sixth Prince's eyes, she is happy.
Worried about Wen Zhiming's injuries, the three of them didn't have time to chat any longer and headed towards Wen Zhiming's tent together.
When they arrived, several military doctors were already there, and several generals were guarding the bedside, filling the small tent to the brim.
Meng Lingge lifted the curtain and entered. When Cao Ran saw her, he looked around the main tent and saw traces of married life everywhere. Only then did he realize that something was wrong.
"Let's go, let's go. Miss Zheng can guard this place. Let's wait outside."
He drove all the generals out, and the room suddenly felt much emptier.
Besides Meng Lingge and Wen Zhiming, there were only a few military doctors left.
Wen Zhiming had taken off his upper clothes, revealing a muscular physique and messy wounds. His lower clothes were pulled up to his thighs, and there was a knife wound on each leg. The wound on his left leg was particularly deep and long, a shocking sight.
