“Master, the master’s back…

“Why are you in such a hurry now that Father’s back?” asked Wei Ruo.

“The Master’s in a bloody mess, he was carried back here!”

“What happened?”

“Your servant doesn’t know, just heard there was a battle at the front line, the master is severely injured, and because of the poor conditions in the military camp, he was sent back.”

Wei Mingting was injured?

Wei Ruo frowned, then quickly headed towards Cangyun Garden.

Inside Cangyun Garden, everyone was bustling about.

Wei Ruo saw someone carrying a basin of bloody water out of the room.

On entering the room, she saw Wei Mingting, who had just been redressed, lying on the bed, his face devoid of any color.

His face was pale, his eyes closed, lifeless, a sight Wei Ruo had never seen before.

Because he was covered with a quilt, Wei Ruo could not see his exact injuries, and did not know where exactly he was injured.

Wei Ruo stood next to the partition screen, watching as people came and went.

The military doctor had come back with Wei Mingting, and there were also several soldiers standing by, none of whom had taken off their armor.

Wei Ruo also spotted Xu Zhengyong among them.

Neither of them had the mood for greetings, both were worried about Wei Mingting.

Although Xu Zhengyong deeply resented Wei Mingting, believing he was the one who had brought his sister Ruoruo into the courtyard, he admired and respected Wei Mingting as his superior and sincerely did not want any misfortune to befall him.

Madam Yun was standing by, her face as pale as Wei Mingting’s, she asked the doctor nervously, “Doctor, how is the situation?”

“Madam, I’ve used all the medicine we have and done all I could, there’s nothing more I can do, I suggest you look for another doctor in the city!”

Madam Yun immediately ordered Jing Hu: “Quickly, fetch me the best doctor in Government City!”

“Madam, are you asking for Doctor Cheng from Zhengyu Hall?” Jing Hu asked.

The most prestigious and experienced one in Government City was Doctor Cheng from Zhengyu Hall.

“Yes, him. Bring him here.” Madam Yun hurriedly commanded.

At this moment, Madam Yun was frantic.

Jing Hu then quickly left after receiving the order.

During the waiting time, several officers had left the room and stood outside the door, discouraged.

Wei Ruo found an opportunity to pull Xu Zhengyong aside and question him.

“Brother Xiaoyong, what happened here?”

“Half a month ago, the rebels mustered on the sea for a fierce attack. In the past half month, our sides have clashed multiple times. Even though we ended up victorious, our side suffered severe losses. The commander… his injuries are quite severe.”

“What about you? Are you hurt somewhere?”

Wei Ruo hurriedly examined Xu Zhengyong’s condition. His military uniform was torn in several places, with one big chunk of sleeve hanging down.

“I’m alright, just tore my clothes a bit, really, it’s just a minor tear.” Seeing Wei Ruo staring at his torn clothes, Xu Zhengyong quickly explained and emphasized.

“That’s good,” said Wei Ruo.

“Is little sister Ruoruo planning to save the Commander herself?” Xu Zhengyong asked worriedly.

He hoped for the Commander to be alright, yet he did not really wish for Ruoruo to expose herself. It was a conflicting sentiment.

“I have my own plans for this, you don’t have to worry,” said Wei Ruo.

Xu Zhengyong nodded, knowing that sister Ruoruo was a person with ideas.

“You go back first and reassure Nurse that you’re safe, I’ll stay here,” Wei Ruo said.

“I’ll wait till Doctor Cheng arrives and has taken a look, then I’ll go back,” Xu Zhengyong insisted.

“Alright,” said Wei Ruo, saying no more.

During the wait for Doctor Cheng, Wei Qingwan, who had returned to the mansion, also rushed to Cangyun Garden after receiving the news.

As soon as she entered and saw the unconscious Wei Mingting, Wei Qingwan’s complexion also turned pale, and then she went to the bedside.

“Mother, why is father like this?”

“Your father was seriously wounded on the battlefield, and the military doctor says it’s hopeless…” Madam Yun’s tears flowed out uncontrollably; she was so worried that her body was shaking.

“How could this happen? Father…he…” Wei Qingwan was also panicking, her voice starting to tremble.

She looked again at the man on the bed, her eyes turning red.

Madam Yun didn’t know what to say. She had always been afraid that something like this might happen, and had always been hoping it wouldn’t.

But it happened.

The mother and daughter, not knowing what to do, held each other in deep sorrow.

Soon after, Doctor Cheng, led by Jing Hu, hurried to Cangyun Garden.

After examining Wei Mingting’s pulse, Doctor Cheng also showed a grave expression.

“Doctor Cheng, how is it?” Madam Yun asked anxiously, looking at Doctor Cheng, she had virtually placed all her hopes on the old doctor in front of her.

He was already the best doctor in the whole of Taizhou Prefecture. If even he couldn’t save her husband, she didn t know what to do.

“The Master here has injuries old and new, and his condition is critically severe. If I’m not mistaken, he was wounded by an arrow a few days ago, but only received a simple treatment and dressing, so the wound has become infected,” Doctor Cheng responded.

A lieutenant standing nearby replied, “That’s right, the Master’s arrow wound was inflicted a few days ago, and to maintain morale, he concealed it from us subordinates, saying it wasn’t a big deal. These past few days, he has fought alongside us as usual, showing no signs of injury.”

“The wound is deep, has pierced his scapula, and needs at least two months of rest. With such a simple treatment, how could he recover immediately?” Doctor Cheng sighed as he spoke.

Following up, Doctor Cheng said, “Moreover, the Master has got new injuries, which are also serious. It hit critical places, with rib fractures, a ruptured spleen, and severe injuries to the shoulder and arms.”

“Doctor Cheng, I beg you to save my husband!” Madam Yun pleaded urgently.

“Doctor Cheng, I beg you, save my father at any cost, no matter how expensive the medicine or how much silver it takes!” Wei Qingwan said, her voice choked with tears.

“I can’t guarantee much either, Madam Wei and Miss Wei should be prepared,” Doctor Cheng answered truthfully.

On hearing this, Madam Yun’s face turned ashen, her body went limp, and she couldn’t stand firmly.

Zhang Mama and Cuiping, who were by her side, held her up to prevent her from falling.

In that instant, her world seemed to collapse.

Weo Qingwan was also at a loss and had no idea what to do.

At this time, Wei Ruo came forward and said to Doctor Cheng, “We ask of the doctor to spare no effort, regardless of the odds, we must do something.”

Hearing Wei Ruo’s voice, Doctor Cheng displayed a surprised expression, then scrutinized Wei Ruo with a more detailed look.

Without waiting for Doctor Cheng to finish looking her over, Wei Ruo continued, “Doctor Cheng, we should prepare for medical treatment now.

Whatever is needed, just let me know, I’ll order my servants to get them ready.”

“Alright, I understand. Miss Wei, could you arrange for someone to start a fire for me, we need to keep the room warm. I’m going to debride Master Wei’s wounds, we can’t let him catch a chill during the process considering that it’s still a bit cold in the spring.”

Doctor Cheng immediately began to give orders..
