Shi Zairong tiptoed in and asked in a low voice, "How is she?"
The doctor looked at the patient on the bed. As a man dedicated to saving lives, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. "She's still very weak. I'm afraid her throat won't be able to speak properly in the future. And the scratches on her body are probably self-inflicted. This girl is a miserable person. The old injuries haven't healed yet, and she's suffering new pains."
Shi Zairong said indifferently, "It doesn't matter. Can she survive?"
The doctor nodded and assured: "Yes."
After Shi Zairong relaxed a little, she instructed, "As long as she's alive, nothing else matters. You must take good care of her. I want her to live."
"yes."
"..." As they were talking, Su Zhirou woke up for a moment, half asleep. Her vision was hazy, and she couldn't see clearly. Her throat was burning, and her body was in excruciating pain, but she couldn't move at all.
Just when she was panicking, someone said, "I want her to live." It was like a magic spell that could calm her heart, allowing her to fall asleep again. The moment she lost consciousness, she was still hoping that the person who said this was Lin Feng.
When Tang Chen and Hong Yu arrived at the Nanyue camp at top speed, not wanting to waste a moment, a familiar scene unfolded. The sentries surrounded them and demanded fiercely, "Who are you?"
Tang Chen looked at the soldiers coldly, his heart filled with anxiety. Hong Yu rode forward and said coldly, "Make way!"
The team leader standing on the watchtower took a closer look at the girl in red and shouted, "...Blind man, this is the girl from last time, let her go!"
"oh oh!"
Tang Chen didn't have time to think about the strange words these soldiers said. She only knew that she had come and hoped that Shi Zairong could bring good news to her and the whole world this time.
Tang Chen had never been here before and had no idea where Shi Zairong was. Helplessly, he grabbed an innocent soldier passing by and said, "Where's Shi Zairong? Take me to him, right now."
The soldier was stunned for a moment, and was about to shout "enemy attack" when he saw the red edict, and suddenly realized, oh, it's one of our own: "Here, over here..."
When Tang Chen found Shi Zairong, he was covering for the doctor who had gone to rest and watching over Su Zhirou. Tang Chen didn't know there was still a patient inside. He asked in a loud and excited voice, "How is it? Is there any result?"
After Shi Zairong indicated that there was a patient in their bed, he looked at Hong Yu and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here too?"
Hong Yu stared intently at the person on the bed and replied coldly, "Be a guard."
Tang Chen quickly interrupted, "Okay, now is not the time to reminisce about the past, let's get down to business!"
Shi Zairong took a long breath and said with a smile, "Huangfu Xiong has fulfilled his mission. The patient on the bed is the one who brings us hope."
After he said this, Tang Chen, who had no curiosity about who was on the bed, walked over and took a closer look. She was so scared that she almost fainted on the spot: "......!"
Seeing the expression on Tang Chen's face that seemed to be asking why this person was here, Hong Yu asked, "What's wrong with you? Do you know her?"
Tang Chen acted as if he couldn't hear what Hong Yu said. He grabbed Shi Zairong by the collar and asked in a low voice, "Zhirou, why is Su Zhirou here?"
Shi Zairong was also confused and answered without hiding anything, "She never told me her real name. I told her, it sounds similar to yours. Do you really know her?"
Tang Chen slowly loosened his grip, turned around to look at the half-dead figure on the bed, and said, "I recognize her. I'd recognize her even if she turned to ash. Is she really the one you mentioned who came to you with Huangfu Zhong's poison?"
"yes."
Tang Chen asked worriedly, "Didn't they say Huangfu Xiong fulfilled her mission? Why doesn't she look well?"
Shi Zairong patiently explained, "The antidote we just made is not easy to control. As long as the person is well cared for, his life can be saved. But I'm afraid his throat will be..."
Tang Chen raised his hand slightly to signal him to stop talking, then squatted down, gently held Su Zhirou's hand, and murmured: "It's okay, it's good to be alive, it's good to be alive."
Shi Zairong saw that Tang Chen was like this and probably wanted to be alone with this woman named Su Zhirou, so he whispered to Hong Yu, "What about you, do you want to go see Huangfu Xiong?"
Hong Yu asked, "When I came here, I heard that he didn't seem well?"
Shi Zairong explained helplessly, "After two days and two nights of sleepless nights, it's definitely not good. I'll be able to recover after a rest and recuperation."
After thinking for a moment, Hong Yu gently patted Tang Chen's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Huangfu Xiong seems to be overworked and is unconscious now. Do you want to go see him?"
Tang Chen thought for a moment and shook his head: "...You go check on him for me. I want to wait here for her to wake up. I've been holding it in for years and have so much to say to her. I'm afraid that as soon as I turn around, she'll hide again."
Hong Yu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look and be back soon."
After saying that, Hong Yu and Shi Zairong quietly closed the door and went out. After coming out, Shi Zairong took Hong Yu's hand and said softly, "I'll take you there."
Hong Yu glanced at the door and said, "No need. I don't feel comfortable leaving her here alone given her identity. Please help me keep an eye on her. I'll be back soon."
Shi Zairong said, "Okay, Huangfu Xiong is in the next room, very close. If you have any questions, don't worry about disturbing others, just call me."
Hong Yu smiled and said, "I see. Go in quickly. She'll get suspicious soon. If you have anything else to do, go tell her and find someone you trust to watch over her at the door."
After hearing Hong Yu's words, Shi Zairong asked helplessly, "You, haven't told her about us yet?"
Hong Yu smiled and said, "I'll tell you eventually, but now is not the time."
…When Hong Yu gently pushed the door open, Huangfu Bin was carefully wiping Huangfu Xiong's hands with a towel. The tenderness between father and son made Hong Yu a little envious. So, before Huangfu Bin noticed her, she took the initiative to make some small movements to attract his attention.
When she got closer, she realized that Huangfu Bin was fine when he left Qingliang Valley, but now his head was wrapped in gauze. "Uncle Bin, how is he? And what's wrong with your head?"
