Six hours later, Qi Sha and Chu Qingyao saw Xuanyuan Zhi. He was lying there quietly, his breath drifting, his face an abnormal greyish green.

She immediately switched on the medical system and put her hand on his wrist. His pulse was weak, as if it could die at any moment.

"Esteemed wangfei, the prince's leg was injured by the poison arrow. This old man is incompetent and useless, I'm unable to find out what poison it is." Elder Li came in from outside with tears in his eyes and an uneasy look on his face.

"Elder Li, I don't blame you."

At this time, the medical system had just finished diagnosing Xuanyuan Zhi, and he did not expect him to be infected by a hidden poison, the poison was extremely difficult to cure, only because it was overheated or too cold would the poison be completely activated.

It was now spring, and he couldn't find any place with low temperatures. Therefore, the treatment plan given by the system was to use a medicinal bath to stimulate the poison in his body. The antidote would only be effective if the poison broke out in all aspects. Fortunately, there was an antidote in the system.

She looked down at his injured left leg. The arrow had been taken out, but the wound was so deep that the flesh looked terrible.

After careful examination, he found that one of the tendons had been severed. It seemed that he had to undergo surgery immediately. Fortunately, she came. Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to imagine.

"Qi Sha, stand guard outside and do not allow anyone to disturb us."

"Yes, sir."

When he was the only person left in the room, Chu Qingyao immediately took out the surgical tools she needed, disinfectant potions and bandages. Finally, he saw that the interior of the tent was not well lit, so he took out a battery without a shadow lamp to light it up. This was the first time she had used an operating light since she came here.

After she was ready, she started to disinfect herself in the tent before putting on medical gloves and a mask. After thinking for a bit, she gave Xuanyuan Zhi an anesthetic to prevent him from feeling pain.

After disinfecting the outside of the wound, he began to connect the severed tendons and veins. For a senior surgeon like her, such an operation would be totally painless. She soon completed the operation.

As for the rest, he could only wait until his injuries healed.

At this time, the sound of messy footsteps came from outside.

"Qi Sha, where's the Prince? I want to see him. " The man's voice was filled with joy and misfortune as he started to come looking for trouble.

"Wang Ziwei, when Your Highness wakes up, I will naturally see you. Please leave!"

"Qi Sha, what are you? Your Highness hasn't even said that you won't see me, get out of my way. "

"How dare you!" The sound of Qi Sha's sword drawing came from outside.

"Oh, you dare to use your sword against the marshal? Men, capture Qi Sha for me and kill him without discussion. " Wang Ziwei had already wanted to get rid of Qi Sha and the others.

The door was opened by someone, and Chu Qingyao walked out with a cold face, her gaze landing on Wang Ziwei. With a cold snort, he said, "Wang Ziwei, who gave you the guts to make such a ruckus in this wangfei's account?"

Wang Ziwei sized up Chu Qingyao, disdain flashing past his eyes. "Wangfei misunderstood this official, I'm only worried for the Duke, I want to meet the Prince."

"Your highness is currently recuperating, you should go back and wait for your highness to summon you."

"Esteemed wangfei, His Royal Highness is the commander-in-chief of an army. When he falls, he has to give an explanation for his subject!" Wang Ziwei took a step forward and pushed him back.

The corners of Chu Qingyao's mouth curled into a sneer, "What kind of explanation do you want the Prince to give you? What qualifications do you have to have the Duke explain it to you? " Are you qualified?

Wang Ziwei then looked straight at Chu Qingyao, he never thought that the famous idiot from the Chu Clan would actually have some brains. He smiled apologetically, "The princess has wronged you, that's not what I meant."

Chu Qingyao didn't want to see his face at all, so she interrupted him with a cold voice, "Since that's not what you mean, then Sir Wang, you can scram."

Wang Ziwei was startled, and only then did he realize that he had been scolded. She angrily glared at him, "Chu Qingyao, you dare to scold this general?"

"Your Highness, who gave you the guts to directly call out this wangfei's name?" When Chu Qingyao finished, she felt that these words sounded very familiar.

On the night she entered the Duke Palace, she was mercilessly swung to the ground because she shouted out Xuanyuan Zhi's name. In order to get him to the Northern Reaches as soon as possible and force her to hand over the antidote, she had yelled the same thing to him once, and he had said the same thing.

Wang Ziwei snorted and waved his hand in embarrassment, "Let's go."

"Qi Sha, follow me in." After they left, Chu Qingyao called Qi Sha into the tent.

"Princess, how is the prince?"

"The tendons in his leg have been broken. I have just healed him, but the poison in his body requires a medicinal bath. It can only be used after his injuries have healed." If there are trusted personal guards, send more over, we'll have to guard this place day and night. " After Wang Ziwei's farce, Chu Qingyao already knew that Xuanyuan Zhi's situation was not looking good.

Qi Sha's expression was heavy. "Princess, rest assured, Qi Jue and the rest have already come. I will immediately go call for help."

"Mn, Wang Ziwei was previously appointed by the Emperor as the Commander of the Northern Region?" Chu Qingyao wanted to understand Wang Ziwei's identity.

"What kind of marshal is he? In a short period of time, we lost all ten cities in Tian Qiong. " became even angrier when he mentioned Wang Ziwei. But who told him to be the emperor's personal guard? Even if he was a beast, with the emperor protecting him, no one would dare to move against him.

"He dares to show off his strength. It seems like he has predicted that the prince will not be able to wake up in a short period of time, so he wants to regain the authority within the army." Xuanyuan Zhi, you have to heal the injuries on your body as soon as possible.

Just as Qi Sha transferred a team of people, Elder Li came again. He worriedly asked about the Duke, and warned Chu Qingyao to be careful of Wang Ziwei.

"May I ask wangfei, do you know what poison the prince was poisoned with?"

"Hidden poison." Chu Qingyao could tell that Elder Li was truly concerned about Xuanyuan Zhi, so she didn't hide it from him.

When he was an apprentice in medical Sect back then, he had heard someone mention this poison. This poison was colourless and odorless, and the moment it entered a person's body, it would cause them to faint. As for how to cure the poison, he had no idea.

"Esteemed wangfei, I'm afraid this poison is not easy to cure." He was extremely worried. In the military camp right now, Wang Ziwei was eyeing the military power covetously!

"Don't worry, I can do it." "Esteemed wangfei's medical skills, this old one is willing to admit defeat."

After Elder Li left, Chu Qingyao rubbed her forehead. In the future, she wouldn't be able to live peacefully.

Her gaze landed on Xuanyuan Zhi's face, and an expression of fearlessness arose in her heart.

Xuanyuan Zhi, no matter what difficulties I run into, I will never give up on my own patient. The path to the Northern Region is so difficult that we have to persevere on it.

The second day after Xuanyuan Zhi fainted, Wang Ziwei took out the imperial edict that had been entrusted to him by the emperor. After Chu Qingyao heard it, she continued to look at Xuanyuan Zhi expressionlessly.

As long as a person was alive, she believed that nothing that belonged to Xuanyuan Zhi could be taken away from him.

She regularly changed the medicine for Xuanyuan Zhi every day, and after ten days, the wound had already turned into a deep purple scar that could be used as a medicinal bath.

"Qi Sha, go and boil some hot water right now. I want to bathe the prince in some medicinal bath so that we can speed up the outbreak of the hidden poison."

"This subordinate will handle it immediately." Qi Sha turned and left.

Very quickly, Qi Sha came in with two buckets of hot water, followed by the emaciated Seventh Jue. Qi Jue and Qi Sha were both Xuanyuan Zhi's secret guards.

After putting away the wooden bucket, Qi Jue came over to pay his respects. "Your subordinate, Qi Jue, greets wangfei."

"Qi Sha Seventh Jue, quickly take off your prince's clothes and carry him into the bucket." She walked over and tested the temperature with her hand before sprinkling the powder inside. She was afraid that Xuanyuan Zhi's body would not be able to handle the poison, so she put in some blood nourishing medicine.

Qi Sha was completely naked as he was quickly carried into the bucket by Qi Sha's Seventh Jue. "Princess, we'll be standing guard outside." Before leaving, Qi Sha asked.

He urged them to prepare hot water at any time while Chu Qingyao stood anxiously at the side. The temperature of the water was too high, so Xuanyuan Zhi, who was originally very quiet, suddenly roared, and she immediately pounced towards the edge of the bucket.

The dense hot air blew over and only Xuanyuan Zhi's face could be seen on the water surface. A pained expression appeared on his face as he clawed at the air with both of his hands.

"Xuanyuan Zhi, you bear with it." She reached her hand in an attempt to comfort him. However, the moment their hands touched, he abruptly grabbed her and pulled her inside.

Ah!" She cried out in alarm and fell directly onto his body, splashing water all over the ground.

The door was quickly opened by someone. Qi Sha took a glance at the barrel and then quickly closed it. Qi Jue asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm fine." Qi Sha muttered to himself, but in truth, Princess Hua-Yang was pretty good. After this matter, he reckoned that Prince and Princess Hua-Yang's plans were about to turn into a good one.

After Chu Qingyao choked on the water, she grabbed onto Xuanyuan Zhi's shoulder and wanted to stand up. Damn it, Xuanyuan Zhi, let me drink the water you've soaked me in, what kind of peace do you have? It's dirty, okay?

As long as she moved, Xuanyuan Zhi would wave his hand randomly and directly carry her in his arms, not letting go at all.

Time began to stop, Chu Qingyao's face was completely red from embarrassment. Xuanyuan Zhi, are you trying to be a hooligan? Don't think you can tease me just because you're unconscious …

Annoyed, he raised his finger and touched the well-defined chest. It was so firm and elastic. She touched his face a few times as if she were a thief.

She was completely drenched from staying in the water and was still sitting on the body of a naked man. No matter how strong Chu Qingyao's mental state was, she would not be able to enjoy such a challenging attitude.

She tried a few times but failed to stand up, so she could only raise her head and observe Xuanyuan Zhi's face.

Her usually cold, long, and narrow almond-shaped eyes were currently tightly shut, and her face no longer had the expression of a person who was not allowed to get close to others, making people no longer fear her. She placed her hand on his eyelids and traced the bridge of her nose to her warm, thin lips. His lips were very beautiful, and because of the high temperature, they were faintly colored like cherry blossoms.

As she watched, she suddenly kissed it. It was just a light kiss, but her heart almost jumped out of her chest in panic. Xuanyuan Zhi, you are too outstanding, what do I do if I want to tease you?

Only after a long time did she withdraw her thoughts and check his pulse. After realizing that the situation had improved by quite a bit, did she have the time to think about her own situation. If Qi Sha were to see their current ambiguous expressions, how could she put her face!

"Xuanyuan Zhi, let go of me." With a helpless expression, she pinched his chest in annoyance.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Zhi did not react at all, she could only take out her silver needles and pierced them a few times into his body. When his arms became weak and drooped, she immediately fled the wooden barrel in a sorry state.

Seeing her body dripping water nonstop, Chu Qingyao almost cried. She had not brought a single piece of clothing with her. She shyly covered her face. How could she meet people after a while with such a small and exquisite body!

Sensing that the temperature of the water in the pail was not enough, she came to a sudden realization and pulled Xuanyuan Zhi's robes over her body. He spoke towards the door, "Qi Sha, come in and heat up the water."

Hot water was added to the bucket, and when she saw that there was not enough, she quickly added another packet. For the entire two days, Xuanyuan Zhi was immersed in the hot water, Chu Qingyao guarded the place closely.

On the third day, the poison in Xuanyuan Zhi's body started to break out, his soaked white body turned red, the temperature in his body also started to rise rapidly. Chu Qingyao took out her thermometer and checked, it was already at 42 degrees Celsius.

Her heart tightened. This was the limit of the human body's temperature. He hurriedly took out two pieces of strong anti-fever medicine from the System and stuffed them into Xuanyuan Zhi's mouth. If he continued to burn like this, his life would be in danger.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Zhi's body was already covered in a layer of frightening red rash, and she had just fed him the antipyretic medicine, she did not even have time to take it, she had already vomited it out. She shouted loudly, "Qi Sha, come in quickly and help me out."
