Military Advisor and Princess

Chapter 34

Following the sound, not far away, a woman dressed in plain clothes lay on the ground with disheveled hair and a pale face. When she saw Ao Jun approaching, her beautiful eyes sparkled with surprise, and she pressed her delicate white hand to her ankle, staring at the person in front of her with a pitiful look.

Ao Jun glanced around. It was still very close to Qianlipo. He frowned again and slowly walked over.

Upon seeing Ao Jun approach, the woman immediately grabbed onto the hem of his robe as if grasping at a lifeline, weakly pleading, "Young master, help me!" before fainting.

As she collapsed, Ao Jun swiftly caught her, and at the same time noticed the wound on her ankle and a dead venomous snake nearby; she had been poisoned.

Seeing the woman's face slowly turning black, even though she didn't know medicine, she knew that if she delayed any longer, the woman would surely die. She immediately picked her up and quickly walked towards the military camp. This woman is really light! Or are all the women here so light and boneless? Dun didn't know; it was because she possessed profound internal strength, and this weight was nothing to her.

Upon arriving at the military camp, Ao Jun ignored the bewildered looks she received from everyone and rushed straight to her tent.

As they approached the tent entrance, a questioning voice rang out: "Brother, who is this?"

Turning her head, she saw Yueying carrying a lunchbox, staring straight at the woman in her arms. Aojun walked straight ahead without stopping, saying without turning her head, "Ying'er, quickly go and fetch the army doctor."

"Brother Ke..." Yueying wanted to say something, but Ke Aojun had already carried the woman into the tent.

Mo Yueying had prepared the meal as usual and was about to call her Mo Jun-ge to eat. However, just as she reached the tent entrance, she saw Mo Jun-ge return from outside, carrying a woman in his arms. He ignored her completely and went into the tent. Who was that woman? Why was her brother so nervous? Humph, no matter who she was, she would not allow anyone to take her Mo Jun-ge away.

But Mo Jun told her to find the army doctor. Could it be that the woman was injured? Although she really didn't want to go, Mo Jun would definitely blame her if she didn't. With no other choice, she gritted her teeth and stamped her foot, deciding to go find the army doctor anyway.

"Medic, hurry up! If you're late, my brother will blame me." Yueying dragged an old man with white hair and beard, rushing forward while urging him to hurry up. She was in a hurry to get back! She couldn't let Mo Jun be alone in a room with that woman, even if the woman was unconscious.

"Oh dear, Miss Mo, slow down. My old bones can't walk that fast." The old military doctor, carrying a medicine box, stumbled along as Yueying pulled him along. He could only keep urging the person in front of him to slow down. He was old, not like a young person anymore.

"Slow down, or my brother will be gone, oh dear..." Yueying urged, turning around. If they were any later, her brother would be snatched away by someone else. But before she could finish speaking, she bumped into a wall.

Strange, where did the wall in the military camp come from? Before she could even look up to see clearly, the 'wall' spoke in an anxious voice, "What? Your brother's gone? What happened to Jun?" That voice... Yueying quickly looked up, and sure enough...

That 'wall' was actually Jin Xuan, who should have been recuperating in his own tent. He was much better now and tired of lying in bed, so he came out for a walk. Unconsciously, he kept wanting to go to Mo Jun's tent, but after what happened last night, he didn't know how to face her, so he stubbornly walked in the opposite direction. In the distance, he saw Mo Yueying pulling the army doctor, her expression tense as she rushed forward with her head down. What had happened? Jin Xuan picked up his feet and went over.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached Mo Yueying, he heard her say, "If you're any slower, my brother will be gone." His mind went blank. Gone? What did that mean? Had something happened to Jun? But what could have happened in the camp? Jun's words from last night kept repeating in his mind, "I'll go to Tianri Slope tomorrow to see..." No, impossible. He hadn't even understood his own heart yet; how could she be gone? Gone—this possibility made Jinxuan's heart clench tightly.

"No way!" Jin Xuan suddenly shouted, startling Mo Yueying and the military doctor. Before they could react, their Prince Jin had vanished like the wind. The two could only stare wide-eyed, unable to process what had happened for a long time.

In the end, Mo Yueying was the first to come to her senses. This time, she pulled on the army doctor's long beard and said as she walked forward, "If you don't hurry up, I'll pluck all your beard off."

The medic could only quicken his pace to keep up, tears welling up in his eyes. He had really misjudged this girl. Seeing her pretty and delicate appearance, he thought she would be gentle! Little did he know she was a shrew.

Jin Xuan rushed into Ao Jun's tent like a whirlwind, anxiously calling out, "My lord, my lord..."

The sudden intrusion startled Ao Jun. After recognizing the person as Ouyang Jinxuan, who had been causing her so much distress, she said somewhat awkwardly and indifferently, "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Are you alright?" Seeing that Ao Jun was sitting there unharmed, Jin Xuan still asked with concern, fearing that she had suffered internal injuries.

"What could possibly happen to me?" Ao Jun asked in confusion.

"It's alright, it's good that you're alright," Jinxuan said, somewhat incoherently. Seeing her like this, it seemed she really was alright, and a weight was finally lifted from his heart. With his heart at ease, he then didn't know how to face her.

Silence fell between them again, and Ao Jun resumed what he had just been doing—wiping the cold sweat from the unknown woman's forehead.

"Who is she?" The tone wasn't very friendly. Only then did Jin Xuan notice that there was a girl with a pale face lying on Ao Jun's bed, and his strategist was 'gently' wiping away what he thought was no sweat at all.

"She is..." Before Ao Jun could finish speaking, a voice interrupted her.

"Brother, I brought the army doctor with me." As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Yueying, who was still sweating, and an old army doctor who was almost out of breath standing in front of her.

"Your Highness..." The old military doctor entered the tent and saw that the prince was also there. Regardless of whether his body was still breathing, he immediately greeted him respectfully.

"Medical officer, quickly take a look at this young lady." Without waiting for Jin Xuan's reply, Ao Jun grabbed the old medical officer, who was still catching his breath, and asked him to examine the patient immediately.

Waaah... How pitiful that old man is! He hasn't even caught his breath yet! These siblings are so alike! I'm not going to look anymore. He only dares to think such heroic words in his heart. As soon as he meets the strategist's cold gaze, he still has to obediently sit down to take the pulse and treat the illness. Sigh, there's nothing we can do. Young people these days don't know how to respect the elderly and care for the young at all. The world is going to the dogs!

"Is there really no hope? She's only been poisoned by snake venom." Seeing the army doctor shake his head, Ao Jun frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the stunningly beautiful woman on the bed. Indeed, the woman was incredibly beautiful. When he was wiping her down, he noticed a breathtakingly beautiful face beneath her disheveled hair. Her tightly pursed lips made her even more alluring. A woman like that would probably make any man's heart flutter! But was she truly beyond saving?

"No, her poisoning isn't severe. We just need to drain the poisoned blood," the medic said, stroking his beard and shaking his head.

"If you can save him, why are you shaking your head?" An extremely cold voice slowly escaped from Ao Jun's mouth after the old military doctor finished speaking, making the old military doctor tremble.

“I shook my head…it’s…because…” The old military doctor was so frightened by Ao Jun’s cold face that he couldn’t even speak.

"Alright, treat her!" Ao Jun interrupted impatiently in a cold voice. She looked extremely worried, as if the person lying in bed was the most important person in her life.

"Yes, yes..." The old military doctor, drenched in cold sweat, took out his tools from his medicine box and, with trembling hands, began to bleed the girl under Ao Jun's low voice. Oh, I misspoke, I meant to draw out poisoned blood.

"Why worry so much about someone you don't even know?" Seeing Ao Jun staring at the woman with such concern, Mo Yueying chuckled softly, rubbing the hem of her clothes tightly as if she were someone special.

Mo Yueying spoke softly, but Ao Jun's entire heart was focused on the woman, and he didn't notice what she said. Jin Xuan, however, heard her clearly, and his heart ached even more: he wanted to say those words too, but he could only say them in his heart because he didn't have the right. And Mo Yueying—anyone could see she loved her nominal brother. Ha! Yes! She was a man; wasn't it perfectly normal for her to be liked by women and to like women in return? Besides, didn't he know she was a 'womanizer' when they first met? She liked women, not men like him!

After a short while, the military doctor finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, swallowed hard, and said tremblingly to Ao Jun, "Military... Advisor, it's alright. This young lady's poisoned blood has been completely drained. She will recover after a few days of rest."

"Hmm." Ao Jun nodded slightly, then sat on the bed and wiped the girl's sweat. Her face gradually turned rosy, making her look even more beautiful and charming.

"Then I'll go out and write the prescription first," the old military doctor said quickly, and before Ao Jun could speak, he tried to slip away.

Before he could move, a cold, indifferent voice rang out: "When will you wake up?"

"Huh?" Such a concise sentence caught the old man off guard. After receiving a cold glare, the old military doctor suddenly realized: "The poison has been cleared. He will wake up in no time."

After waiting a while and seeing that the strategist hadn't said anything more, I figured it was probably none of his business, so I could leave now. I immediately turned around, lifted my foot...

The moment I lifted my left foot, before I could put it down, a cold voice rang out behind me again: "What do I need to be careful about?" It wasn't as concise or as puzzling as I'd imagined.

However, the old military doctor quickly realized what was happening and turned around to say, "Although this young lady is alright, she is still very weak and should not move around too much. She should also avoid spicy food, and..." Old people tend to be long-winded, and the old military doctor rambled on and on, leaving everyone present speechless.

"Anything else?" A chilling voice, seemingly emanating from hell, escaped from Ao Jun's mouth.

“There are a few more points…” As soon as his expertise was mentioned, the old military doctor immediately began to speak fluently and knowledgeably, becoming extremely slow to react, even ignoring the sub-zero temperatures in Aojun.
