The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day

Chapter 1420: Chapter 810: An Ning Arrives, Qianyun Awakens (Part 2)

Xie Qianyun’s face was still as pale as paper; there were marks on her face from being bitten by a wolf, covered by bandages on more than half of her face.

The military doctor picked up the medicinal soup again and gently placed it at Xie Qianyun’s lips.

As he fed her, it flowed out from the corners of Xie Qianyun’s lips.

It happened the same way several times.

Xiao Luming could no longer bear to watch. He took the soup bowl from the military doctor, "Let me do it."

"Yes."

The military doctor stepped aside.

Xiao Luming sat beside Xie Qianyun, drank a mouthful of medicinal soup, and then approached Xie Qianyun’s mouth.

There were many people in the tent at this moment.

Everyone instinctively turned away.

In their hearts, they couldn’t help but feel a bit surprised.

After experiencing life and death, it was obvious that the Emperor felt differently towards the Empress.

The Empress, known for being a person with such a cleanliness obsession, actually fed medicine to the Empress with his own mouth.

Thus.

Xiao Luming fed a bowl of medicinal soup into Xie Qianyun’s mouth.

He instructed the military doctor, "If the Empress refuses to take medicine, report to me."

"Yes." The military doctor quickly agreed.

Feeling relieved in his heart.

The Empress had been extremely frail, and if she didn’t take medication, it was uncertain whether she could hold on until the Empress Dowager’s arrival.

"By the way." Xiao Luming seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to ask Xie Ruotong, "How is Wu Huahao?"

"According to Your Majesty, when I found Wu Huahao, he was on the brink of death. However, due to the timely rescue, he has now escaped danger and is recuperating at the Oasis. It’s just that..." Xie Ruotong hesitated.

"What is it?" Xiao Luming’s brows furrowed.

"Wu Huahao injured his leg in the battle. The military doctor says the leg is unlikely to recover, and he may be in a wheelchair for life."

Xiao Luming’s expression slightly changed.

His face visibly grew a lot heavier.

Wu Huahao loves this land profoundly; he is passionate about warfare.

If he loses the ability to use his legs...

"I will go visit him."

"Your Majesty." Xie Ruotong stopped him, "Perhaps it’s best not to disturb Wu Huahao right now; he has his dignity. Give him some time to come to terms with this reality before visiting him."

Xiao Luming nodded.

Also understanding Xie Ruotong’s intention.

Wu Huahao is a fervent young man encountered by such a setback; few can endure it.

Going to see him now would only force him to hide his weakness under a facade of forced smiles, while it’s best to let him calmly and genuinely accept the reality.

"Your Majesty." Xie Ruotong took the initiative to speak.

"Great General, speak your mind."

"Now that the Oasis has been occupied, preparing to attack the base located south of Hebei would not be difficult, especially while their energy is depleted. Now is the best time to strike. I hope Your Majesty orders to reorganize the army, ready to launch an attack on the Tartar’s base, to completely expel them from Hebei and eliminate future troubles!" Xie Ruotong requested.

Xiao Luming also had this consideration.

But now Xie Qianyun’s life is uncertain; Wu Huahao is dispirited.

Xie Ruotong is overworked.

"I’m physically capable. I am willing to lead the army out again." Xie Ruotong said respectfully.

It is the best time to strike the Tartars; missing it might lead to another challenging battle.

War is too cruel; every fight results in countless casualties.

Reducing the casualties as much as possible is the true meaning of winning the battle.

"This time the Great General led the troops to capture the Oasis in the shortest time and disregarded your health to rescue me; overexertion here is a concern. I do not believe the Great General personally leading the troops again right now is the best choice. I also do not wish for any danger to arise during this expedition concerning the Empress’s trust in me." Xiao Luming directly refused.

"Your Majesty, if we do not seize the opportunity to conquer the Tartars now, once they are rejuvenated, they will undoubtedly wage war again."

"I know. I mean that it certainly is not about canceling this war!" Xiao Luming said, "The war must be fought! This time the Tartars slaughtered so many of my Daxuan Army and injured Iron Cavalry Army leader Wu Huahao, also resulting in the uncertainty of the Empress’s life. This revenge, I must certainly make them pay with blood! The reason for my refusal for the Great General to personally lead the troops is indeed because the Great General is currently weakened and not suited to lead the troops. When the Empress saved me with her life, she only said one thing to me; she said to make sure the Great General survives, no matter what."

Xie Ruotong’s eyes suddenly reddened.

She dared not even imagine the scene of Xie Qianyun hanging on comforting her at the very last moment thinking she might die.
