Doctor Nie didn't mean to put pressure on them, but he really had no other choice. The few doctors and their apprentices were already overwhelmed. If a war broke out and there were casualties, they wouldn't be able to take care of them. Doctors are like caring parents, and no one wanted to see a patient die in vain due to lack of care. "Then I'll leave it to you, sir."
As soon as the words fell, the tightly closed door behind them opened a crack. Zhong Qin looked at the two of them and whispered, "Are you done?"
"Um."
After Zhong Qin opened the door, she handed the medicine box to Doctor Nie: "Doctor Nie, we'll help you organize the medicine box. We'll have someone take you back later."
Doctor Nie put on his medicine box and said, "No need. It's just a small box, I can still carry it. The adults are all holding important things, so there's no need to see them off. Shadow Master, you must remember what I just said. From now on, as long as I have time, I will come to take the prince's pulse. Once I figure out the cause of the illness, I will inform you all in time."
"I'll have to trouble you, Doctor Nie, with everything."
After Doctor Nie left, Zhong Qin pulled Wang Nianqing aside and asked quietly, "How is it? What's the situation?"
Wang Nianqing whispered back, "He does have some health issues, but Doctor Nie said we can't tell how serious it is yet. We need to pay close attention to his diet and rest, and make sure he doesn't get too tired or too hungry."
Wang Yanzhou's health hadn't been good before, remembering how everyone had been working day and night. After leaving Zhiyoulin, he'd rested for a long time, but he'd still sustained some damage. With all that work, no one believed he'd be healthy. "After all, we still have Tang Chen and Gui Yi. Even if it's just for them, he wouldn't mess with his health."
Wang Nianqing sighed slightly. Sometimes Wang Yanzhou would have too many thoughts in his mind and wouldn't even tell them. "We are not him, so who knows how many tricks he has in his head. Go in. His health is important, and so is the safety of Liang State."
Wang Nianqing had just taken a step outside when she mentioned going in. The usually calm Zhong Qin suddenly turned around, put his hands behind his back and snorted coldly, "Hmph, what are you talking about the safety of Liang State? Liang State has become what it is today because Emperor Gan Zhao and his father did not listen to the Madam's advice, and allowed the power of Tianshu Tower to expand to such an extent. Not only did they make Liang State like this, but they also implicated my Qingliang Valley."
If Zhong Qin said this elsewhere, it would be a crime that would implicate the entire clan. "Just complain to us here. If others hear it, they might think we in Qingliang Valley have ulterior motives."
Zhong Qin didn't know what was going on today. She was filled with anger. Perhaps it was because she usually kept these emotions bottled up, and today, thanks to Wang Yanzhou, she just found an opportunity to explode. "Who will hear this? Princess Shuyang, who has been abandoned by the people of Liang, or the eldest prince Yaochen, who has nothing left?"
Wang Nianqing felt that Zhong Qin's words were becoming increasingly outrageous, so she quickly intervened, "Since you know they're all here, don't be so aggressive. This isn't like your usual style."
Zhong Qin kicked the stone at her feet hard, and her face turned red with anger like a sulky child. "I just feel that being too calm sometimes is really tiring."
Wang Nianqing was stunned for a moment, then patted Zhong Qin's shoulder and said, "Alas, I know you are very tired, but you still have to take care of the matter of adding a new member to the army."
Zhong Qin turned her head and rolled her eyes at Wang Nianqing, then suddenly lost her temper. "...Can't you just say it another way?"
Wang Nianqing was relieved to see Zhong Qin back to normal. Everyone wants to relax and complain sometimes, but now is not the time. Once the crisis is resolved, he can vent however he wants, and he will definitely not stop him: "I think it's quite appropriate, hahaha!"
"What a joke!"
Wang Nianqing burst out laughing when she heard that, "Oh, I didn't know you could curse. I'm the only one at a disadvantage, if you want to curse, just curse me. Anyway, I don't know how many times you've bullied me since I was a child, so I don't care if it's just this one more time."
After Zhong Qin had spoken out every dirty word he had heard in his entire life, he felt a surge of energy and clarity, as if elevated. Having finally released his emotions, his mood, which should have been lighter, suddenly became heavier as he looked at the busy military camp not far away. "...Nianqing, do you think we can win this time?"
Wang Nianqing looked towards the capital with confidence and said, "Of course. Not only can we win, but we will also see Yan Zhou ascend to the position that originally belonged to him."
...After Xihe and the others returned safely, Xihe and Ou Yezi supervised Tang Chen and then returned to their thatched cottage. Like Shu Yang before them, unless something serious was going on, they wouldn't wander around and cause trouble for the people of Qingliang Valley. Before leaving, Ou Yezi had promised Shi Zairong that he wouldn't help Qingliang Valley manufacture powerful weapons like artillery in any way, so retreating to the side and hiding was the best option for him at this moment.
The Qingliang Valley army was about to depart, and in this short time, the soldiers, like Zhou Paopi, unceremoniously called in Hong Yu to help. Originally, they had considered letting Hong Yu accompany the army if possible. This was abruptly rejected by Hong Yu, and secondly, Tang Chen only had Jiang Wanying left, which made everyone very worried. Therefore, they had to make the most of Hong Yu's limited time.
After they returned safely to Qingliang Valley and arranged their respective affairs, Qiuliang also took people to escort Fenglai safely to the border of Liang State, waiting for Shu State to come and pick him up.
When they reached the border, Qiu Liang, following Zhong Qin's instructions, took Feng Lai and the others into hiding in the woods to avoid being discovered by Tianshu Tower or other enemies. He waited until the appointed time to bring them out and headed up a hillside overnight.
Feng Lai and his group sat on the hillside, looking towards the direction of Shu Kingdom. They sat there from dusk till dawn, but they still couldn't wait for anyone from Shu Kingdom to show up. It must be said that Feng Lai was very anxious. Adding to that the presence of Qiu Liang, such an awkward situation made him even more uneasy. "...Don't worry, it's still early. The people from Shu Kingdom may still be heading here. They'll be fine."
Feng Lai didn't expect Qiu Liang to take the initiative to talk to him, and he was concerned about his words. He was stunned for a moment, coughed dryly and sat down: "I, I'm not in a hurry."
Qiu Liang chuckled and shook his head helplessly, "Yes, yes, you are not anxious, but I am. I am anxious to send you away so that I can go back to help the prince."
