Chapter 220 It Wasn’t To See Her
If Su Rui wanted to come here in the beginning to reduce the number of casualties for Yun Ji, after all, even if this was caused by collusion between internal and external parties, Yun Ji, as the commander, should be held responsible for his death due to his serious injuries. He would not give this excuse to the Lin family and Prince Long if he could.
But now, seeing the number of wounded soldiers far exceeding her expectation and the unyielding eyes of those who did not want to die like this, Su Rui seemed to see herself who had gritted her teeth and crawled out of death again and again in the border military camp.
Maybe it was for Yun Ji and herself, or maybe it was because she had become softer now, Su Rui took the white bib used by military doctors from the hook without saying a word and put it on, walking inside while rolling up her sleeves.
While taking over the job of a military doctor, he discussed new treatment methods with three military doctors while working.
He completely forgot what he had promised Yun Ji before.
But Yunji didn't stop her.
She didn't know that Yun Ji was not willing to give in, but was waiting for her to speak.
He didn't plan to let Su Rui return to Beijing, and it would be best if she didn't return before giving birth.
As a woman, if she wanted to stay in the army, she still needed a reason, even if others did not mention it because she was his concubine and had made great contributions.
The wounded soldiers' camp is the best place for her.
Su Rui was indeed capable of doing the job, even though the three military doctors had doubts about her method at first, they still did as she said because she was Yun Ji's concubine and had brought reinforcements to the Yanzhou army.
Unexpectedly, although she was not proficient in medicine and could not give acupuncture, her research on acupuncture was ten times better than theirs. Just acupuncture on a few acupoints was enough to stop the bleeding. Combined with the fragrant pills and incense she brought, the pain of the wounded soldiers was greatly relieved and bandaging became less difficult.
Su Rui did more than just give orders. Although the seriously injured were handed over to the military doctors who knew more about treating living people, she also rolled up her sleeves to handle minor injuries and bandages within her ability.
Seeing that Su Rui was pregnant and was not afraid of blood and was not arrogant at all in treating them, the soldiers cooperated more. Even if Su Rui used heavy hands sometimes, they just gritted their teeth and said nothing.
Except, Wei Chu.
He came on the third day after Su Rui came to the wounded soldiers' camp.
He was upset that his injuries had not healed yet and he could not immediately go to guard the grain route and main road. He insisted on not delaying his injury and refused to go to the wounded camp for treatment.
But he came early this morning, his arms and thighs soaked in blood.
Su Rui cut open his clothes, revealing the scars of varying sizes on his body. The two blood-soaked areas were the most serious, with the flesh and blood already peeling back, revealing the bones.
Fortunately, although he was holding on for the past two days, he still handled the situation himself and no infection occurred. However, perhaps because he moved too much today, the wound that had not been sutured broke open again, causing blood to flow.
"hiss……"
The strong liquor was poured on the wound, and Wei Chu took a breath of cold air.
Su Rui's hands continued to move, cleaning every spot carefully while she said, "Since you want to hold it hard, don't shout now."
Being scolded by her angrily, Wei Chu laughed even more and said pitifully, "It hurts."
"Hold on, it's just the beginning."
Wei Chu obediently picked up the handkerchief that had been prepared beside him, bit it in his mouth familiarly, and followed Su Rui with his eyes. But Su Rui did not look at him, and neatly prepared the needle and thread and began to sew.
Although the two did not say much, they cooperated so well that it seemed as if this was not their first treatment.
Because it was noon, except for the seriously injured soldiers who could not move, the others who were able to move went to the cafeteria to eat by themselves. After all, there were not enough people, and it was unknown how long it would take to wait for someone to be taken there, and it was even a question whether they could eat at all.
Therefore, the only people who could move in the wounded camp at the moment were Su Rui, Wei Chu, and Chen Duo, who had just been sutured but had not yet had time to bandage his wound.
And looking at the scene in front of him, Shen Duo was a little confused.
Doesn’t Wei Chu have a sweetheart?
Why is the look in his eyes when he looks at Concubine Su so directly? He doesn't look innocent at all.
And Concubine Su seemed... not surprised either.
Although Concubine Su did not give Wei Chu any extra glances, when she saw that Wei Chu was seriously injured, she immediately asked him to wait first. The way she cleaned the wound was different from when she cleaned her own wound. There was anger in her eyes.
Wei Chu seemed to be enjoying it. Normally, he would never say a word no matter how badly he was injured, but now he cried out in pain seven or eight times.
Moreover, they completely ignored him.
Could it be that...
"Your Majesty."
Just as I was gradually opening my eyes due to my guess, I heard a call from outside.
The three of them looked up at the same time and saw Yun Ji walking in with Wu Yu.
Seeing Su Rui treating Wei Chu, Yun Ji's expression remained calm, but Wu Yu beside him clenched his fists, his eyes seemed to be scolding this male vixen who took the opportunity to seduce his concubine.
If he hadn't found his master in time, his thigh would have been sewn shut if he had come any later!
"What happened to the prince?" Su Rui didn't notice anything and asked without raising her head while cutting the thread that sutured the wound on her arm.
Listening to Su Rui's calm question, looking at the close distance between her and Wei Chu, and the injured thigh exposed, it was obvious that the next step would be to sew up the thigh.
Although Yun Ji's face did not show much expression, he gave a calm look to Wu Yu beside him.
Wu Yu immediately met him and shouted anxiously, "Concubine, the master's wound has broken open, and it's quite a large piece. If I hadn't discovered it, I would have dragged the master here, and the master has kept it a secret from you."
When Su Rui heard that Yun Ji was also injured and had been hiding it from her, she immediately put down the needle and thread in her hand and walked quickly to Yun Ji. She could indeed smell the smell of blood.
Just reach out and rip open his clothes.
In the summer he wore little, only an outer shirt and an inner shirt, and it seemed that his belt was not tied tightly, so it came open with a tug, revealing his strong chest and abdomen. At the same time, one could also see seven or eight scars of varying sizes that had accumulated on them over the past few months. The most serious of these was a long scar that ran diagonally from the right chest to the left abdomen.
It was the injury he suffered last time. Although it was sutured simply, I don't know if it was because the military doctor was too busy at the time or the suturing technique was not up to par, so Yun Ji was simply sewed a few stitches. Now it has all broken open, and the wound that has not yet healed is constantly oozing blood, and there is a hint of festering.
No wonder he changed his clothes when he came to see her that day. It turned out that he didn't wash up to see her, but was afraid that she would find out that he was seriously injured.
Although Su Rui understood that he was now the commander of the Yanzhou Army and that after the defeat and retreat to Dongyue, there were many things he needed to do personally, leaving him no time to rest or recover from his injuries, he still couldn't help but get angry and said sarcastically, "Your Highness, this injury doesn't need to be treated. If you keep enduring it, it will become infected and die."
Wu Yu was startled when he heard this. How could he not feel heartbroken but instead curse his master to death?
Chen Duo, who was secretly observing from the side, was also startled. This Concubine Su was still as tough as ever, but this was in the military camp, and they were all watching. To speak to Yun Ji like this...
"I was wrong."
