Chapter 587: Chapter 587: Why are you so stupid?_1
As Wei Jinyi was ntioned, Xu Zhengyong’s brows furrowed, his tone was heavy, and he radiated profound regret.
“What happened to the Prince?” Xiui promptly inquired.
“In order to save …” Xu Zhengyong spoke with a heavy voice, “I truly did not expect, that he would choose to infiltrate the enemy camp alone at night to rescue !”
“What did you say? The Prince…He ventured alone into the enemy camp to save you? Even if the Prince’s martial arts skills are unparalleled, he cannot withstand an onslaught of thousands!” Xiui exclaid in shock.
“They inford that the Prince made this decision after much consideration. He wanted to rescue as swiftly as possible. It is not as if there were no other thods, but procrastinating would reduce my chances of survival…”
Wei Jinyi’s martial arts skills were extraordinary, and his agility was also remarkable. His surreptitious infiltration of the enemy camp raised the least suspicion.
If he had led a group, they would have been discovered before even entering the camp.
Hence, he chose this thod, highly risky, but with the highest chances of success.
Upon hearing this, Xiui was greatly shocked.
The Prince had risked his life for Brother Xiaoyong!
“The Prince must have done this for Miss. He knows that Miss cares about you, and if sothing were to happen to you, Miss would definitely be heartbroken. He did not want Miss to be sad…”
Xu Zhengyong blad himself, saying: “It’s all my fault that I fell into the enemy’s trap. And now, I have got him involved… If anything happens to him, I can’t bear to live!”
“The Prince will be okay. As long as Miss is there, he will definitely be okay!” Xiui quickly asserted.
Xiui said these words as much as a reassurance to Xu Zhengyong as a prayer of her own.

In the inner room, Wei Ruo gazed at the unconscious Wei Jinyi on the bed, tears streaming from her eyes.
However, Wei Ruo quickly wiped away the tears from her cheeks.
Now is not the ti to cry.
She must pull herself together right now!
Her brother now needed her dical skills, not her tears!
Wei Ruo first briefly examined Wei Jinyi’s injuries then picked up a pen and paper from the table and wrote a prescription.
As she was writing, Wei Ruo instructed Ke Chongshan and other guards standing by Wei Jinyi’s side: “Take my prescription and prepare the dicinal herbs. Once gathered, prepare them according to my instructions. Also, get hot water, clean towels, and bandages ready, then guard the door and apart from Xiui, don’t let anyone else disturb .”
“Yes.”
They promptly obeyed and left the room.
After they brought in everything Wei Ruo needed, Wei Ruo brought out her personal acupuncture kit. First, she applied needles at crucial points on Wei Jinyi’s head, then removed his outer garnt, exposing his chest and applied a needle at the center of his chest.
She first stabilized his heart pulse, then proceeded with the subsequent treatnts.
He had many wounds, both from blades and arrows, as well as so blunt force injuries caused by unidentifiable weapons. Without a second thought, one could tell he had been through a brutal fight.
These wounds had been hastily treated to stop the bleeding, and on the wounds was the hemostatic dicine that Wei Ruo had provided.
However, as so of the wounds were deep, rely applying the hemostatic dicine wasn’t enough.
Wei Ruo had to reopen each wound, clean it, disinfect, sew, and apply dication.
This was a ti-consuming and laborious process. Even with Wei Ruo’s adeptness, it still took over an hour to finish everything.
By the ti Wei Ruo had finished her tasks, Xiui walked in with the prepared dicinal broth.
Zhang Yi and others worked trendously well. Despite being in such a barren frontier zone, they managed to find all the herbs listed in Wei Ruo’s prescription in record speed and promptly prepared the needed dicinal broth.
Wei Ruo instructed Xiui to feed the dicinal broth to Wei Jinyi, while she continued to administer acupuncture treatnt.
Wei Ruo had to stay fully focused while performing acupuncture, hence except for Xiui who she trusted entirely, everyone else’s presence would sowhat affect her.
Xiui, on the other hand, cautiously spooned the dicinal broth into Wei Jinyi’s lips. As unconscious individuals have a weak swallowing reflex, the feeding process couldn’t be rushed.
About an hour later, Wei Ruo finally completed her treatnt, and around the sa ti, Xiui finished feeding the dicine.
“Miss, the Prince will recover, won’t he?” Xiui asked worriedly.
“As long as I’m here, his life won’t be in danger,” Wei Ruo assured confidently.
As she spoke, Wei Ruo’s gaze fell on Wei Jinyi’s leg, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, but she decided not to share her concerns.
Compared to life, everything else was trivial.
“ii, please leave for a while, I want to be alone with my brother,” Wei Ruo told Xiui.
“Okay.” Having taken two steps towards the door, Xiui looked back at Wei Ruo and said, “Miss, anyti you need , don’t hesitate to call . I will be right by the door.”
“Hmm.”
After Xiui left, Wei Ruo sat at the edge of the bed, reached out her hand, and gently caressed Wei Jinyi’s cheek.
This face, usually aloof yet unexpectedly gentle, now lacked color.
“Why would you do sothing so foolish? I would be heartbroken if sothing happened to Brother Xiaoyong, but wouldn’t I be heartbroken if sothing happened to you too? Why are you so good to ? Just because I saved you once in Xingshan County? How many tis have you repaid my one act of kindness?”
“You truly are a fool! A big fool!”
The tears she held back earlier, now flowed freely.
Her heart ached terribly, as each of his injuries seed to have been inflicted on her own heart.
“You must get better, promise , you must get better.”
“You’ve done so much for , and there are so many things I haven’t gotten a chance to do for you yet, you can’t leave just like that.”
“Brother, there are so many things I haven’t had the chance to tell you. Can you please give a chance to say them?”
“…”

Weu Ruo stayed rooted by Wei Jinyi’s bed, from dawn till dusk.
In between, Xiui brought her a al once which Wei Ruo made an effort to eat.
Latter, Zhang Yi, and others who wanted to take over her vigil were all refused by Wei Ruo.
She was a doctor. Only with her unswerving attentiveness, at this mont, constantly observing Wei Jinyi’s condition, could his safety be fully ensured.
In the middle of the night, Wei Ruo changed Wei Jinyi’s dressings, fed the dicine, and gave him water twice.
Then, she stayed vigilant until dawn.
April mornings are neither too early nor too late. A rooster from the nearby farmhouse crowed twice, indicating it was ti to extinguish the indoor candles.
The morning light seeping through the draughty window illuminated the room.
Weu Jinyi slowly opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was Weu Ruo, looking at him.
Weu Jinyi wanted to speak, but he found that his throat was as if clogged with mud, unable to produce any sound.
“Don’t rush to speak. It’s normal that you can’t make any noise, you’ve been feverish for a long ti,” Weu Ruo said to Wei Jinyi.
Gazing at the now conscious Wei Jinyi, Weu Ruo’s eyes welled up with tears, and she smiled.
