The system had no money and couldn't buy modern items.
Chu Qianli had no choice but to use the most primitive method to treat the man with acupuncture.
With no one to help her, she had to personally help the man up and into a room.
The man looked at the small, fair half of her face that was revealed, and said hoarsely:
"Miss... Miss, I... I'm beyond saving. Don't... don't risk your own life, just... just leave me."
"Don't you have two young children?"
Seeing how young he was, his children were likely very small too.
Chu Qianli persuaded him, "If you die, your delicate wife will likely not be able to raise two children on her own. Can you truly bear to abandon them?"
A layer of mist immediately welled up in the man's eyes.
He wanted to cry but couldn't, his body weak and powerless.
"Trust me, I can definitely cure you, but you must cooperate with my treatment."
"Miss..."
"As long as you cooperate, I'll stake my life on it and guarantee that you will definitely return alive to see your wife and two children!"
... They stayed in the room for more than half a day.
The general in grey also guarded a safe spot outside the room for a long time.
During this period, Chu Qianli came out once and asked the general in grey for medicine from a distance.
It was evident that the general in grey was also a good person, and he personally went to fetch it and deliver it.
After that, Chu Qianli remained in the room with the patient and did not come out again.
As evening approached, a distinguished figure arrived at Tuoxi Village, alerting all the soldiers at the village entrance!
"Prince Xuan!" Upon seeing Feng Yexuan, the soldiers immediately went to report to the general in grey.
The general in grey rushed over and indeed saw Feng Yexuan's carriage stopped at the village entrance.
He was immediately surprised and anxious: "Your... Your Highness, why have you come? Tuoxi Village is very dangerous right now, Your Highness must not enter!"
The two parties were some distance apart.
Feng Yexuan reined in his horse at the village entrance, and Qing Ming and Leng Ji finally managed to catch up.
Qing Ming called out from afar, "General Qin, have you seen a young woman in white enter the village?"
Qin Xiao thought for a moment and immediately shook his head, "No!"
A soldier beside him looked at him with shock in his eyes.
Why was General Qin lying? A woman in white had indeed entered this morning.
Now, that woman in white was in a room not far from the village entrance.
However, since the general said no, then it was no.
All the soldiers lowered their heads, not daring to speak carelessly.
Qin Xiao cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, the person you are looking for is not here. Please return!"
Feng Yexuan remained silent, looking coldly at the soldiers.
Qin Xiao quickly said, "There really is no one. Yexuan, it's not safe here! If there's anything, I'll explain it to you in detail when we return to the imperial city."
Qing Ming did not know that the one who had been sent to treat the patient was Feng Yexuan's long-time friend, Qin Xiao.
He also quickly whispered, "Your Highness, General Qin is under imperial decree to treat patients and is likely working day and night. If Your Highness insists on forcing his way in and something happens, General Qin will be held responsible."
Feng Yexuan pursed his lips, suddenly turned his horse's head, and left.
"Your Highness?" Qing Ming and Leng Ji looked at each other in astonishment.
Why did he leave so soon? They had already prepared many words to persuade His Highness.
None of them could be used!
Qin Xiao was also stunned.
When had this cold-faced god of war become so agreeable?
It was completely unlike the Feng Yexuan he had known for many years!
"General Qin, we bid you farewell as well. We shall meet again in the imperial city!"
Qing Ming bowed, and he and Leng Ji immediately left, chasing after Feng Yexuan.
... No one expected that Feng Yexuan did not return to the imperial city.
That night, His Highness disappeared!
On the same night, a tall, slender figure appeared in Tuoxi Village.
The figure did not alarm anyone. After entering the village, he immediately searched from house to house...
