Chapter 345: Chapter 344 Rescue

"I..."

Princess Zhu Xinyue felt a bit at a loss.

She knew she was the one who had provoked their anger.

"Deputy General Zheng is injured, and I’m also very distressed. But what we should do now is to find a way to treat General Zheng and break the enemy’s scheme, rather than creating discord among our own and placing the blame on others," the General said.

Suddenly, Brother Yinian’s tall figure stood in front of Princess Zhu Xinyue, and he sternly rebuked the soldiers.

These men had followed him for many years, but the girl behind him was also his dearly loved younger sister.

Besides, it wasn’t Yueyue’s fault to begin with.

Confronted with Brother Yinian’s piercing gaze, those men stiffened.

They gradually realized they had overreacted and hung their heads in remorse.

Chu Baihan watched this scene, raising an eyebrow.

It turned out that Brother Yinian was quite the protector.

Moreover, he disciplined his troops with logic and reason.

At present, he seemed to be both a competent brother and General.

Chu Baihan’s glance fell on the figure of Deputy General Zheng on the ground, and she opened her mouth, ready to share her thoughts.

But just at this moment, Xie Feifei hurried over in a rush.

Because she was running too frantically, her clothes were somewhat disheveled, and there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

She stopped and began to cough.

"Miss Feifei, what’s wrong with you?"

All the soldiers found her beautiful and kind-hearted, and seeing her discomfort now, they immediately voiced their concern.

"I, I just caught a little cold," Xie Feifei answered softly between coughs.

Seeing her thinly dressed, Brother Yinian furrowed his brows.

He quickly took off his cloak and draped it over Xie Feifei.

In an instant, Xie Feifei’s cheeks turned bright red, and she whispered, "Thank you, General."

"If you’ve caught a cold, you should wear more clothes," Brother Yinian said in a stern tone.

He spent most of his time in the military camp concentrating on solving problems. If Xie Feifei caught a cold, the camp would lose a doctor, something he could not allow to happen.

Since he had a cloak, he put it on her.

He hadn’t thought much of it.

But behind Zhu Xinyue, her eyes reddened.

Did her brother even realize what it meant for a man to drape his cloak over another woman?

"Feifei, since you are here, take a look at Deputy General Zheng," Brother Yinian said, remembering the situation of the Deputy General, his tone becoming serious.

"Alright," Xie Feifei nodded obediently.

"Doctor Li said earlier that my leg needs to be amputated, but Doctor Zhang said that with continued medication, I could stand up again," Deputy General Zheng quickly relayed his situation upon seeing Xie Feifei checking his pulse.

Xie Feifei looked up at Doctor Zhang, whose eyes dodged for a moment before he looked away.

Chu Baihan had been observing everyone, and upon seeing Doctor Zhang’s reaction, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Do you know what the relationship is between Doctor Zhang and Miss Xie?" Chu Baihan casually asked a young soldier beside her.

The dark-skinned young soldier heard Chu Baihan’s question and replied offhandedly, "Tongzhou has a severe shortage of doctors. Doctor Zhang is quite famous elsewhere. It was Miss Feifei who visited him repeatedly to invite him here. If not for Miss Feifei, our military camp would be in a very difficult situation."

"I see," Chu Baihan murmured softly, her tone inscrutable.

The soldier turned back for a look and, upon seeing a maiden who resembled a celestial being, his face instantly flushed red.

When had such a ravishing girl appeared in the military camp?

Just as he wished to steal another glance, the expression in Feng Shan’s eyes, who stood behind Chu Baihan, turned icy cold in an instant.

With just a look from him, the soldier’s legs went weak.

Only then did his mind catch up.

Right, the General had mentioned that the Princess had already arrived at Tongzhou.

This must be the Princess, he conjectured.

He was in a panic and wanted to kneel down to beg for forgiveness.

But Chu Baihan spoke in a calm voice, "It’s all right, no need for such formalities."

The soldier had something else to say but was cut off by another glance from Chu Baihan, "There’s no need to make a fuss."

"Yes, yes, Princess," the soldier nodded hastily.

Over there, those people still had not noticed Chu Baihan’s presence.

"Feifei, how is it going?" Seeing Xie Feifei remaining silent for a long time, Zhu Yinian was very anxious.

"Doctor Li and Doctor Xie both make good points. Doctor Li is also worried that if the flesh rots, it will affect the whole body, which could lead to a loss of life. Doctor Zhang, however, is more hopeful of saving Deputy General Zheng’s leg," Xie Feifei said after a moment’s silence, delivering her words impeccably.

"So, Feifei, do you have a way?" Zhu Yinian’s tone was still fraught with urgency.

"I can try acupuncture and herbal therapy, I should be able to save Deputy General Zheng’s leg," Xie Feifei stated with conviction.

"Can you really save my leg?"

Hope swelled in Deputy General Zheng’s eyes.

The others also had tears in their eyes.

"Miss Xie, you really are a divine doctor," someone exclaimed.

"Miss Xie, we entrust Deputy General Zheng to your care," said another.

"Miss Xie, you are my savior," Deputy General Zheng spoke and attempted to kowtow to Xie Feifei.

Xie Feifei quickly supported him and then said, "Deputy General Zheng, no need for thanks. You were wounded on the battlefield, you are a hero, and saving you is my duty. Besides, if I have earned Brother Yinian’s trust to come and treat you, then I naturally will do my utmost."

At the end of her speech, Xie Feifei sneaked a glance at Zhu Yinian, and her shy demeanor was clear for everyone to see.

So, Miss Xie fancies the General, they realized.

They looked well-matched together.

Zhu Yinian, oblivious to their thoughts, was only relieved to think that Deputy General Zheng’s leg could be saved. He let out a long sigh of gratitude and then told Xie Feifei, "Feifei, it’s wonderful if you can save Deputy General Zheng’s leg. If you need our assistance, just ask."

"Brother Yinian, just have Doctor Zhang help me. He has treated many injuries and has experience," said Xie Feifei, biting her lower lip and speaking softly.

"Okay, we’ll have Doctor Zhang assist. If you need any medicine, just ask this General," Zhu Yinian said sternly.

"Gene..."

Doctor Li watched the scene, opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he just sighed.

Because Chu Baihan was so unassuming, by the time the crowd dispersed, they hadn’t noticed her presence.

"Doctor Li, do you really think, that Deputy General Zheng’s leg can’t be saved?"

Zhu Xinyue ran to Doctor Li’s side and asked with a grave tone.

Furrowing his brow, Doctor Li finally said, "The way I see it, every hour Deputy General Zheng’s leg isn’t amputated, the more dangerous it becomes. But perhaps my medical skills are limited. There are always mountains beyond mountains, and there are experts beyond experts. Perhaps the medical skills of Miss Xie and Doctor Zhang could save the man and the leg."

"Let’s hope so," Zhu Xinyue murmured softly.

She didn’t like Xie Feifei, but if the other woman could spare Deputy General Zheng the agony of an amputation, that would be a welcome deed.

"Doctor Li, do you have the tools for an amputation?"

Suddenly, a faint voice came from behind them.
