Chapter 344 - 343: Broken Leg

Chapter 344: Chapter 343: Broken Leg

"Yueyue, stop being ridiculous. This is my tent, and I’m a man. As a young lady, do you no longer care about your reputation? Do you ever want to marry?"

Zhu Yinian said with a helpless tone.

"If I cannot be married off, then so be it. I will just stay by Father’s and your side forever." Zhu Xinyue huffed and then spoke softly.

"How can you say such things? You are the eldest daughter of the Zhu Family; you should find someone who cherishes you to spend the rest of your life with. Father and I, we cannot hold you back."

Zhu Yinian’s face was stern, and his voice was extremely serious.

Zhu Xinyue felt extremely unhappy inside, and she muttered, "Brother, are you suddenly talking about my marriage because you wish to get married?"

If he wanted to marry, then with whom?

Xie Feifei, perhaps?

Thinking this, Zhu Xinyue felt her heart as if it had been punctured by a needle.

Zhu Yinian frowned deeply; he couldn’t understand how the conversation had turned to his own marriage.

"There are matters of the country that have yet to be resolved; how could I be concerned with romantic affairs?" he spoke gravely.

So, it was because of the war that he was unwilling to discuss marriage.

But once this was over...

"Brother, have you ever thought that it would be quite nice for us and Father to just live our lives this way?" After all, we are not biological siblings, are we?

She murmured softly.

But her voice was too low, and Zhu Yinian simply couldn’t hear her clearly.

Just as he was about to inquire further, Zhu Xinyue had already risen.

She didn’t want to make things difficult for him.

Because of the matter with Xie Feifei, she was already seen as quite unreasonable in their eyes.

"Brother, you should get some rest early."

Zhu Xinyue spoke obediently, then turned and left swiftly.

Watching Zhu Xinyue’s departing figure, Zhu Yinian furrowed his brows deeply.

Yueyue was very obedient tonight, but for some reason... there was a heaviness in his heart.

It seemed as though she was holding onto some grievance.

Probably because he had been too busy lately and had neglected her feelings.

Once the warfare was over, he definitely had to make it up to her.

But would this war ever end?

After all, the enemy forces were fierce.

Just as this thought flashed through Zhu Yinian’s mind, he became resolute.

With the Princess overseeing, they would surely pull through this warfare.

...

The following dawn.

Chu Baihan woke up only to hear turmoil outside.

"What’s going on?"

She asked with an icy voice.

Feng Shan hurried in.

Chu Baihan had already donned her robe, but since she had just awakened, her brow and eyes held not only iciness but also a touch of languor.

At that moment, she seemed like the untouchable solitary moon in the sky and yet like a reachable figure in a painting.

"Hmm?"

Seeing him stare at her, Chu Baihan slightly arched an eyebrow.

Sensing her bewilderment, Feng Shan quickly regained his composure.

He bowed his head, concealing the dark glint in his eyes.

Just now, he had almost revealed his intent to abduct her.

"It’s a Deputy General in the army whose injury worsened today; several military doctors are arguing about how to treat him," he said.

So that was it.

Chu Baihan withdrew her gaze and stood up.

"Since someone is injured, let’s go take a look," she said calmly.

After Chu Baihan walked out, she saw people forming a circle.

Because everyone was focusing on the injured man on the ground, no one noticed her presence.

The man laid on the ground was in his forties, his face covered with stubble, his breath weak.

His leg was tightly bandaged, but blood was still seeping through.

His hands were clenched into fists all the time, revealing the pain he was trying to endure.

"Doctor Li, are you really going to amputate Deputy General Zheng’s leg? If a man loses his leg, what difference is there from a dead man?"

A bearded doctor angrily pointed at Doctor Li and said.

"Doctor Zhang, I know this leg is important to Deputy General Zheng. If there were another way, who would want to do this? You’ve seen it yourself, yesterday and last night, after using your medicine, not only did his condition not improve, but it worsened. If this continues, his whole body will be affected. When that time comes, it won’t be just a leg he loses, but his life," Doctor Li said with every word steeped in distress.

"You... I’ve saved so many people, my prescriptions have always been effective. It’s just that Deputy General Zheng’s injury is too severe, so it has not taken effect yet."

Doctor Zhang, holding his neck high, clamored loudly.

Seeing that Doctor Li wanted to rebut, he immediately said to Deputy General Zheng, "Deputy General Zheng, tell me, do you want to trust me to heal your leg with herbs, or let Doctor Li chop off your leg?"

"Of course, I want to keep my leg. I still want to go into battle and kill the enemy."

Deputy General Zheng’s eyes were bloodshot.

He reached out and tugged at Doctor Zhang’s robe, then pleaded desperately, "Doctor Zhang, please help me, you must save my leg."

At this moment, Zhu Yinian also spoke to Doctor Zhang with a grave tone, "Doctor Zhang, your medical skills are excellent. Please do all you can to save Deputy General Zheng’s leg. He put himself in danger to save dozens of his brothers and ended up with this severe injury."

Soon, the soldiers around began to kneel down, knocking their heads on the ground and choking out, "Yes, Doctor Zhang, you must save Deputy General Zheng’s leg. It’s because of us that he got into this trouble, he’s a hero, he can’t be without a leg."

Zhu Xinyue was following behind Zhu Yinian.

From the corner of her eye, she saw Doctor Li’s solemn expression.

She couldn’t help but speak out, "Brother, Doctor Li has been with the army for many years, his medical skills are also very powerful. Maybe... Deputy General Zheng’s leg... really can’t be saved."

Looking at Doctor Li’s expression, I fear if there’s any more delay, Deputy General Zheng may be in danger of losing his life.

A human life!

Zhu Xinyue’s voice was not loud, but many people heard it.

Deputy General Zheng glared at her with bloodshot eyes and questioned her bitterly, "What do you know? You’re just a pampered young lady; it’s us burly men who protect your safety up front. Do you know how important a pair of legs is to someone who goes to battle?"

Panting from anger and pain.

The General and Master Zhu were fond of this young lady, but he was not afraid!

The other soldiers also began to look at Zhu Xinyue with disapproval.

"Miss, if you don’t understand these matters, please do not add to the chaos," they said.

"Exactly, your high status allows you to come and go freely in the military camp, but you don’t know the cruelty of the battlefield, nor the life-saving grace of Deputy General Zheng for us. His leg must be saved."

"Miss, we know the General is fond of you. But this is a military camp; if you are capricious, please do so within limits. If you can’t help us like Miss Feifei, please don’t bring trouble upon us," they said.

"..."

Because the Tongzhou army had not gained any advantage in a skirmish with the enemy two days ago and many of their men had been severely injured, there was resentment in every soldier’s heart.

Now that Zhu Xinyue had come along, they naturally started to vent their frustration.
