"Send a message to the Princess Consort; her medical skills are superb, she can definitely save the Prince!"
Since this military doctor is useless, why not ask Yun Duoduo to come over?
"Are you crazy? By the time the princess arrives, the prince will probably be nothing but bones!"
"Medical officer, please save the prince!"
Yan Ying looked pleadingly at the military doctor. In this situation, no one but the military doctor in front of her could save Jin Jinzhi.
The priority is to save the prince's life.
"Rest assured, Your Highness, I will do my utmost to save Your Highness's life. However, Your Highness's leg needs to have the rotten flesh removed and the abscess ripped out."
"It will hurt a lot."
"These legs are badly injured..."
The military doctor looked at Jin Jinzhi, whose body was covered in pustules and rotting flesh, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.
"This poison is truly extraordinary; ordinary poisons would spread to the internal organs and then to the limbs."
"But the poison in the prince started to spread from his lower body, and he also had pre-existing injuries..."
"It is even more difficult to cure."
Besides the new wounds from today, Jin Jinzhi also had old wounds on his body. On his right leg, a small piece of flesh had begun to rot.
"Stop talking nonsense and get him treated quickly!"
Cao Canjun roared, opened the medicine box on the ground, and haphazardly rummaged through its contents.
"The rotten flesh must be cut out."
The medic took a knife from his medicine box, heated it over a candle flame, and used the sterilized dagger to carefully remove the rotten flesh bit by bit.
In less than half a day, Jin Jinzhi's leg had rotted to this extent. Watching the military doctor's actions, Cao Canjun and Yan Ying felt their scalps tingle.
The scalpel removed the necrotic tissue, then ointment was applied and gauze was wrapped around it.
"Someone needs to stay by the prince's side, and the medicine needs to be changed every hour."
"Old Cao, we'll take turns guarding the prince here. Thank you for your help, military doctor."
After treating his wounds, the soldier was drenched in sweat and exhausted. He sighed, "I'm going to rest for a bit. If Your Highness needs anything, please call me anytime."
As he spoke, he stood up to go out, but then felt dizzy and lost his footing, almost falling to the ground.
"Quickly, send them back to the barracks to rest."
...
Three days later, after several bloodlettings and dressing changes, Jin Jinzhi finally woke up.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, you've finally woken up!"
Overjoyed, Cao Canjun wept. Seeing his and Yan Ying's sunken eyes and unshaven faces, Jin Jinzhi felt a pang of pity.
"How long have I been asleep?"
"His Highness has been asleep for three days."
"Your Highness, you scared us to death! You're finally awake!"
"Your Highness, please have some hot porridge. The kitchen has been keeping the porridge warm. The army doctor said that if Your Highness wakes up, you must eat something to replenish your strength."
Jin Jinzhi lifted the covers, wanting to get out of bed to check. He tried to lift his leg, but he couldn't feel anything in it.
"What happened?"
"My leg?!"
Jin Jinzhi looked at Cao Canjun in disbelief. He tried again, but his legs were still numb. No matter how hard he tried, his legs did not move at all.
He pounded his legs hard, but they remained numb and unresponsive.
He panicked and, ignoring Cao Canjun's attempts to stop him, got out of bed, only to fall to the ground in a disheveled state.
"My leg?!"
"What exactly is going on?"
Jin Jinzhi couldn't believe that her legs were ruined and she couldn't even walk anymore.
A man's ambition lies in all corners of the world, but now that his leg is crippled, what future can he talk about?
What will Duoduo think of him?
He clearly killed all the enemies, he clearly walked out of the poisonous fog...
Military Advisor Cao couldn't bear to watch any longer. The prince was such a proud man; now that his legs were crippled, how could he possibly go on living?!
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please don't do this!"
Seeing Jin Jinzhi forcefully slapping his leg, Cao Canjun quickly grabbed his hand.
"Your Highness is in poor health right now, please lie down and rest in bed."
Jin Jinzhi sat slumped on the ground, motionless, as Cao Canjun and Yan Ying carried him to the bed.
His eyes were vacant and his gaze was dull. The once powerful Prince of Jibei was now at a loss as to how to face all of this.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, rest assured, the Princess Consort will definitely find a way to cure Your Highness's leg."
"Yes, Your Highness, the Princess is a highly skilled and knowledgeable physician. Please rest assured, Your Highness, the Princess will surely find a way."
Seeing that Jin Jinzhi's face was ashen, Cao Canjun and Yan Ying gently comforted him.
Jin Jinzhi shook his head; he was extremely unwilling to let Yun Duoduo see him in this half-dead state.
You should always present your best self in front of someone you like.
In her heart, he will always be the omnipotent Sumire-nii-gege.
How could I let her see me looking like this?
"No, we can't let Duoduo know about this."
"I will go see Duoduo again when I am well."
"Have you two remembered this?"
Jin Jinzhi's voice was low and desperate. Cao Canjun and Yan Ying exchanged a glance, said nothing more, and nodded helplessly.
"Go back to Beijing tomorrow!"
After Jin Jinzhi finished speaking, she closed her eyes in despair.
"Your Highness, why don't you rest and recuperate in Jiangning for a while longer?"
"Old Cao, I think it's better to go back early. The imperial physicians in the palace might have a solution."
"We have been out for too long. Now the traitors have all been killed. We must report this to His Majesty as soon as possible."
"Then, I will make preparations immediately and return to the capital tomorrow."
...
In this rebellion in Jiangning, the Zhenbei Army won a great victory. Jin Jinzhi returned to the capital after a long and winding journey, finally arriving five days later.
The entire city's residents lined the streets to welcome them, cheering enthusiastically.
This time, however, unlike previous victories, Jin Jinzhi did not ride a horse but sat in a sedan chair.
"The King of Jibei!"
"The King of Jibei!"
Seeing this scene, Cao Canjun felt a surge of excitement and a broad smile, but the thought of the prince's leg chilled him to the bone.
He glanced at Jin Jinzhi, whose face was expressionless except for a faint smile.
Upon arriving at the palace, Jin Jinzhi led Cao Canjun and Yan Ying to the Zichen Hall to report on the situation in Jiangning.
When Yun Beiye heard that Jin Jinzhi had returned, he quickly sent someone to pick him up, but he was stunned when he saw him being carried in.
"Jinzhi, what's wrong with you?"
"But you injured your leg?"
Yun Beiye felt both sorry for him and puzzled. It seemed that his leg injury was quite serious, otherwise he wouldn't have been carried in.
Your legs?
"Your Majesty, the Prince was poisoned while executing the traitors in Jiangning. He can no longer walk, and a large chunk of flesh was even gouged out of his calf!"
Cao, the military advisor, burst into tears, his face covered in a mixture of snot and tears.
“Military Advisor Cao, you must not be disrespectful before His Majesty!” Jin Jinzhi stopped him.
"Oh dear, Jinzhi, what time is it? Quickly, summon the imperial physician!"
"Also, have someone get a wheelchair made right away!"
