Five days later, Jiang Qi'an's injuries had recovered well, and he was able to slowly get up, but he still couldn't get out of bed.
Su Ruojin carried the medicine into the room and took his pulse: "The wound is healing well. You'll be able to walk normally in a few days."
"Thank you. It's all thanks to Miss Su's excellent medical skills. I owe Miss Su my life."
Su Ruojin said nonchalantly, "There's no debt involved. I'm a doctor; I can't just stand by and watch someone die. Here, drink your medicine."
Jiang Qi'an obediently took the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Setting down the medicine bowl, Su Ruojin asked, "Do you know who hurt you?"
Jiang Qi'an pondered for a moment and said, "Their clothes look like those of the people from the Northern Li Kingdom, and the arrow that hit me was a double-headed arrow unique to the Northern Li Kingdom."
"So it was the people from Bei Li who injured you? But this is Yan Yang, which is thousands of miles away from the border between Bei Li and Da Chu. Why would they attack you here?" Su Ruojin asked, puzzled.
“Although they are dressed like people from the Northern Li Kingdom, their fighting style is not like that of the Northern Li people,” Jiang Qi’an said.
"So someone impersonated a Northern Li citizen and attacked you, Jiang Qi'an, who exactly are you that someone would go to such lengths to target you like this?" Su Ruojin exclaimed.
Jiang Qi'an remained silent, wondering whether he should reveal his identity to her.
After learning his true identity, will she still treat him as a friend?
Will I feel distant because of his status?
Or perhaps his identity will cause her unnecessary trouble.
But since she had asked, Jiang Qi'an didn't want to lie to her, and slowly began, "I am..."
"Hey, don't tell me who you are. I don't want to know. I was just making a casual remark." Su Ruojin quickly interrupted, "You're the patient, I'm the doctor. It's that simple between us. Sometimes, the more you know, the faster you die. I'm still young and want to live a few more years."
Jiang Qi'an: ......
He rarely trusted someone, but was rejected.
Su Ruojin had long suspected that Jiang Qi'an's identity was unusual, but she never allowed the Dark Alliance to investigate.
In the Great Chu Kingdom, as a high-ranking official, I do not need to kneel before officials of the fourth rank or below, but officials of the third rank or above must kneel before me.
If Jiang Qi'an's identity truly involves the imperial court, and he could still command such a large force, he is most likely no lower than a third-rank official.
Putting aside other troubles, Su Ruojin didn't want to create trouble for herself by having to kneel and bow every time she saw him.
It's best as it is now: one doctor, one patient, simple and straightforward.
Jiang Qi'an gave a wry smile and shook his head: "Miss Su is indeed extraordinary."
He never imagined that he, the dignified regent, would one day be disliked by others.
Everyone else was eager to get close to him, but Su Ruojin, knowing full well that he was no ordinary person, avoided him at all costs.
This little girl...
"Young Master Jiang is mistaken. On the contrary, I am just an ordinary person, so I am very self-aware. I cannot possibly be worthy of the company of someone as wealthy and powerful as myself. Alright, you have taken your medicine. You should rest well. Sleeping more is good for the wounds of an injured person."
After giving her instructions, Su Ruojin got up and left, leaving Jiang Qi'an looking helpless.
As soon as Su Ruojin stepped out of the room, she saw Xiaobao standing outside the door, staring at it.
Xiao Bao is very sensible. Afraid that he might affect his uncle's treatment, he would just stand at the door and watch each time.
She felt a pang of sympathy and squatted down: "Xiaobao, don't worry, your uncle's wound is healing very well, and he'll be able to walk on the ground in a few days."
Xiao Bao nodded, took Su Ruojin's hand, and left.
By the time the forsythia blossomed on the branches, Jiang Qi'an was already able to walk without anyone's help.
Just as Feng Ying finished changing his bandages, Su Ruojin walked in, leading Xiao Bao by the hand: "See? I didn't lie to you. Can't your uncle walk by himself now?"
Xiao Bao squinted her beautiful big eyes, walked to Jiang Qi'an's side, and gently took his hand.
Jiang Qi'an said softly, "Yi'er, don't worry, your uncle is all better now."
