Military Doctor Cao gasped in shock at what he saw.

"This is a penetrating wound on the chest, and the abdomen, this..."

“You can even see the bones in your legs.”

"Why don't I look like I was injured by a sword?"

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Get ready for the surgery, and ask again after the treatment."

Doctor Cao quickly asked, "Are you sure?"

Yan Ruyu was very confident that she could heal Mu Chen's broken hand last time, and Mu Chen also had injuries in other parts of his body, which were not light either.

Yan Ruyu shook her head: "No."

Doctor Cao was stunned. This was the first time he heard Yan Ruyu say she was not sure.

The two said no more and quickly packed up and prepared for the operation.

Huo Changhe heard about it when he came back, and waited anxiously outside until dark.

Yinding squatted at the foot of the stairs without saying a word.

What's going on lately?

First, two brothers died, and now...

Huo Changhe stood on the corridor, watching the sky darken little by little. The lights in the house came on, but Yan Ruyu and Doctor Cao never came out.

It was almost midnight when the lights in the room, which were as bright as day, went out.

Huo Changhe turned around and Yinding stood up, his legs were numb.

After a while, Doctor Cao came out with a pale face. His old legs could hardly stand, so he sat directly on a chair in the outer room.

"Where is Yu'er?" Huo Changhe asked hurriedly.

Yan Ruyu came out later, her long hair was also soaked with sweat and stuck to the sides, making her skin look even paler and her face thinner.

"Yu'er," Huo Changhe stepped forward to support her and held her in his arms, "I'll help you."

Yan Ruyu leaned on his shoulder and said, "The wound has been treated. If you can survive tonight, you can save your life. The details will depend on the situation tomorrow morning."

"However, if he wakes up, I'm not sure when," Yan Ruyu paused, "Also..."

Hearing that she was extremely tired, Huo Changhe helped her sit down on a chair: "We'll talk later, take it easy first."

He looked at the silver ingots outside and said, "Quick, bring the stew."

Doctor Cao added weakly, "Give me a few more big buns. No, ten!"

"Meat buns are best."

Yinding turned around and walked out. Beibei and the others were guarding outside the yard. When they saw Yinding come out, they came up to him and asked about the situation.

"Let's get some food first. The princess and Doctor Cao are exhausted."

Several people hurried to prepare. The food was already ready in the kitchen and was brought over quickly.

Huo Changhe personally fetched water, washed Yan Ruyu's hands, and served her rice and soup.

Yan Ruyu was extremely tired and hungry, so she didn't feel like eating anymore. She drank half a bowl of soup, felt more energetic, and slowly talked to him.

"The wound is too severe. It doesn't look like it was caused by a sword or a weapon. I guess he must have accidentally entered some kind of trap."

This secret guard was the one who had followed Madam Rong in the search for Mr. Mo's hiding place.

It is easy to imagine how dangerous this journey is.

"The most troublesome thing is the leg injury. It hurts the tendons, veins and muscles. I'm afraid I'll have some problems in the future."

Doctor Cao was also very sad, but he had already heard Yan Ruyu's explanation during the operation.

He took over and said, "Mu Chen's severed hand was neatly replaced and well preserved. Princess can reattach it to him, but part of his leg has lost its muscles and tendons, so..."

Huo Changhe's throat was blocked. The secret guards were not one in a million, but they were almost the same. Not to mention how much effort and money were spent on training them, just the fact that they had shared life and death for so many years had already formed a deep relationship with them.

But he also knew that Yan Ruyu had tried her best, and it was only because Yan Ruyu was here that he was able to survive. Otherwise, he would have probably lost his life long ago.

"You've worked hard, Yu'er. I'll ask other doctors to take care of you later. You take a good rest and I'll take care of the rest."

Yan Ruyu nodded. She was indeed very tired.

Sun Chuchu had not left yet and was still taking care of Mu Chen. When he heard that there was another seriously injured person here, he volunteered to take care of him.

He is indeed the best candidate, and Yan Ruyu can rest assured with him around.

Yan Ruyu went back to the yard to rest and slept until noon the next day.

There was no time to eat, so I put on my clothes and wanted to go see the secret guards.

Huo Changhe stopped her and said, "Eat something first. Mother came to see you and made the soup in the kitchen herself. I've sent someone to check on the secret guards. I'll tell you."

Yan Ruyu then breathed a sigh of relief and sat at the table to eat.

Now I really feel hungry.

"The secret guard's condition has stabilized. He had a slight fever this morning, but Doctor Sun has taken care of it. Everything else is fine."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "That's good."

"Eat slowly," Huo Changhe served her a bowl of soup, "Yu'er, you've worked hard."

Yan Ruyu looked up at him and gently held his hand: "Don't be too sad, I will do my best to save his legs."

Huo Changhe felt sad: "I feel sad for him, and I also feel that you have worked hard. I can't help you..."

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty?" Yan Ruyu smiled lightly, "We are in charge of different things, there is no need to force it."

Huo Changhe laughed dumbly: "Yu'er's way of comforting people is simple, direct, and effective."

"This is called not wasting time," Yan Ruyu smiled, and her tense heart relaxed a little. "Don't make it hard on yourself. Just do your best and have a clear conscience."

She was really worried that with the secret guards getting injured one after another and things happening so frequently, Huo Changhe would be shocked, angry and resentful and not calm enough.

But on second thought, he was worrying too much. Huo Changhe had been at the border for a long time and had experienced countless wars and seen many tragic things. How could he lose control so easily?

After all, it was because she was too concerned.

Huo Changhe changed the subject to something lighter: "I have already told my mother about the post. Who do you think the so-called cousin is?"

After hearing what he said, Yan Ruyu knew that the identity of this relative was different from what they had originally thought.

"Who is it? Is it someone who is completely unrelated to me?"

Huo Changhe chuckled: "Don't even mention eighteen poles, it's not even close."

Yan Ruyu looked at him in confusion, and Huo Changhe smiled and said, "He is the cousin of the Princess of Yongchang County."

Yan Ruyu was surprised: "Who?"

"The Princess of Yongchang County."

If this person was not mentioned, Yan Ruyu would have forgotten about her. She was the Princess of Yongchang who had an affair with the emperor and gave birth to an illegitimate son, Huo Changxian, but she blamed the scandal on the old prince and disgusted the first lady for more than 20 years.

When passing by Yongchang County, Yan Ruyu uprooted them and their son, took away all their belongings, and even sold their house to her.

This allowed the eldest lady to vent her anger.

I didn't expect to hear this name again when I got here.

Yan Ruyu almost laughed out of anger: "Then why did she post to us? Who is her relative?"

"The matter of Princess Yongchang was not made public, so no one else knew about it. Therefore, in the eyes of others, Princess Yongchang is still..."

Yan Ruyu's face darkened: "This is really disgusting. When the case is overturned, this matter will be made clear so that everyone in the world will know."

"No, it's too slow," Yan Ruyu said, "Let Beibei and Quandao do it. From now on, all the books in the bookstore will be replaced by the affairs of the Princess of Yongchang County."

They had used this trick in Yongchang County before, which made the Princess of Yongchang very angry.

It seems that I will have to use it again.
