Chapter 348: Chapter 347 Don’t Save Those Who Don’t Trust You

Xie Feifei’s gaze drifted away.

She actually saw Feng Shan standing not far from her.

That cold look in his eyes was indeed his.

Xie Feifei frowned slightly, this maid seemed to be the Princess’s woman.

Hmph, a maid, yet she still dares to stare at her with that kind of look.

Xie Feifei withdrew her gaze in disgust, then intended to turn around and leave.

But who would have thought, at this moment, she heard a chilling remark from behind her—

"I know whose person you are. In this military camp, you can scheme against anyone, but her alone you cannot. If there is a next time, I will let you know what it means to wish for death."

Having heard these words clearly, a cold shiver ran down Xie Feifei’s spine.

Who exactly was the other party to know she had someone backing her up?

She hurriedly turned back around, only to find that Feng Shan had already disappeared.

She pursed her lips, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes.

Hard to tell if she really took Feng Shan’s words to heart.

...

When Deputy General Zheng came to, he felt an emptiness beneath his trousers.

Bloodshot eyes filled his vision instantaneously, his fists clenched tightly, the whole man like a raging bull.

"Who is it, who cut off my leg."

He roared out loud.

His voice was so loud that the dozens of tents nearby could hear him clearly.

One by one, the soldiers all understood what had happened.

They sighed in their hearts, thinking how such a great hero like Deputy General Zheng could have been ruined.

This man’s life was likely to be one of a cripple from now on.

It was all because of the Princess; otherwise... Deputy General Zheng wouldn’t have ended up like this.

Thinking this, these people felt resentment towards Chu Baihan once again.

"Princess, it seems like the people outside hold considerable resentment towards you."

Zhu Xinyue stood behind Chu Baihan, her tone grave as she spoke.

Just now, when she arrived, she had already heard several soldiers complaining about Chu Baihan behind her back for what she had done today.

"This Princess had already anticipated this outcome," said Chu Baihan, her expression calm.

"You..." Zhu Xinyue looked severe.

Is she not angry?

She was clearly trying to save Deputy General Zheng, but why wouldn’t those people believe her?

Chu Baihan gave no indication of wanting to explain, she slowly got up, and then took step by step towards Deputy General Zheng.

His hands were already bound.

Because she knew he would definitely flail about once he got up.

His injury was too severe, and he needed to rest quietly, without disturbance.

But her well-intentioned actions, when observed by Deputy General Zheng, only made him think of her as despicable and shameless.

"Princess, you are trying to force me to my death!" he bellowed.

"You witch, you do not deserve to be the Princess of Nanduan Kingdom, nor do you deserve to be our commander. Originally, when the General said that you would personally lead the troops, I was happy, thinking that we really had hope. But now it seems, I was terribly mistaken. You are just a despicable and shameless witch. With you leading the Tongzhou army, Tongzhou will surely be defeated, and the enemy will surely drive straight in..."

The more he cursed, the more vigorous he became.

Then, the next instant, there was a "smack" as a slap fiercely landed on his cheek.

Deputy General Zheng’s eyes widened as he stared fixedly at Chu Baihan, who had already approached him.

Chu Baihan looked down at him from her superior position, her eyes devoid of any warmth.

"You may question my medical skills as a Princess," Baihan said. "But you should not have uttered those curses. The loss or victory of a city signifies the lives of countless soldiers and civilians behind it."

Chu Baihan’s eyes reddened with anger, her body exuding an oppressive aura.

Suddenly, Deputy General Zheng felt as if he saw thousands of troops charging at him from behind her.

He broke out into a cold sweat instantly, almost disregarding the pain in his legs.

"Deputy General Zheng," General Zhu Yinian said as he walked in from the entrance, "I know you’re frustrated and upset. But the Imperial Princess is truly trying to save you. And you should not have spoken words that belittle your own army’s prestige."

Zhu Yinian appeared disappointed.

"General, I, your subordinate, I..."

Deputy General Zheng was visibly panic-stricken.

He did not like Chu Baihan, but he had great respect for Zhu Yinian.

Now being chastised by Zhu Yinian left him feeling utterly at a loss.

"Imperial Princess, I apologize. It is my fault for not properly training my men, which has caused you distress. But he was speaking without restraint because he lost his legs. Please..."

Zhu Yinian turned to apologize to Chu Baihan, intending to plead for her to spare Deputy General Zheng’s life.

However, with one glance, Baihan immediately understood his thoughts.

She cut him off, "General Zhu, rest assured. Although I did not like what he said earlier, I do not wish to kill anyone."

She was not that cruel of a person.

But when Deputy General Zheng saw Zhu Yinian apologizing to Chu Baihan in such a demeaning manner, his anger flared up again.

"Imperial Princess, whether you want to kill or flay me, target me all you want. I think you are undeservedly famous, holding the title of Nanduan Kingdom’s first female General. If it weren’t for your title as Princess, you wouldn’t even be qualified to step into the military camp," he said, his neck twisted as he muttered loudly.

"Huh, so you still think Xie Feifei can cure you?" Baihan asked, looking at Deputy General Zheng, her voice cold.

"Indeed. Xie Feifei is recognized by everyone in the camp as a divine doctor. I am confident that with her method, my legs will definitely recover," Deputy General Zheng asserted.

Seeing his demeanor, the severity in Baihan’s expression only deepened.

"When my master was teaching me medical skills, he told me that a doctor must have a compassionate heart and cannot ignore those on the brink of death. But if the patient does not believe in me, even the finest medical skills are useless. Forcing my help on you is worse than not helping at all," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm as she lowered her head and spoke softly.

"Alright, you don’t have to be so dramatic. Your legs are still intact," Baihan said indifferently.

What?

Deputy General Zheng was startled for a moment and hurriedly pulled away the blanket, only to see that his legs were still there.

They just seemed empty under the blanket before.

"Imperial Princess, why are his legs..." Zhu Yinian asked, shocked as he looked at Chu Baihan.

Baihan curtly responded, "While he was unconscious, it was inconvenient for me to treat him. I intended to explain things properly after he woke up. But now it seems there is nothing worth explaining."

"Just follow Xie Feifei’s prescription," Baihan said, turning to give instructions to Doctor Li.

Doctor Li was seething with anger.

He quickly nodded, "Certainly. I will go fetch Doctor Zhang and Doctor Xie right away to properly treat Deputy General Zheng."

"But, Deputy General Zheng, if anything goes wrong, you cannot seek the Imperial Princess for help," Doctor Li warned, turning back to Zheng with a tone full of resentment.

Hearing Doctor Li’s words, Deputy General Zheng frowned deeply, a sudden panic rising in his heart.

But he soon regained his composure.

It’s fine. Xie Feifei was so confident that she could make him stand within three days; she must be able to do it.

The sudden change of heart from the Imperial Princess was not out of concern for his feelings; she surely also believed that Xie Feifei’s methods were effective but didn’t want to admit that her own medical skills were inferior, which is why she said what she did.
