Chapter 330: The Ghost Doctor
General Li gave a furious rebuke, laying the matter bare before them.
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't give the lieutenant a chance to explain. He simply gave one of his men a look and told them to take the lieutenant away.
Seeing the situation, the lieutenant knew he had no way to explain, and immediately knelt before the general: "General! I cannot explain..."
Having served the general for many years, the deputy general truly understands him all too well.
He was pale and somewhat frightened.
General Li looked at him, his eyes filled with disappointment: "Li Xiao Kui, take your men now, tie him up, and bring him back to the army. Have everyone assemble; I have something to announce!"
As he spoke, he stared at the deputy general with a look of utter disappointment.
Seeing this scene, Lin Rusi couldn't help but sigh.
She didn't want to know about their past; all she knew was that the current deputy general had betrayed the country and General Li.
He felt sorry for everyone present and for the soldiers in the army.
Thinking of this, Lin Rusi shook her head, no longer wanting to watch, and turned to leave with them, returning to the military camp.
That very night, General Li dismissed the deputy general and ordered a thorough overhaul of the military camp's internal affairs, declaring that anyone who became a traitor would be dealt with severely.
Lin Rusi watched silently from the side, only noticing that General Li's expression was not good.
"General Li, are you... alright?" Lin Rusi asked, frowning.
General Li turned his head, a hint of guilt in his eyes: "Your Highness, I would like to apologize to you. When you first arrived, I overstepped my bounds."
Lin Rusi smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing, I don't mind, but General, you should deal with the military matters as soon as possible."
"Yes!" General Li nodded and hurriedly agreed.
Lin Rusi didn't leave either; she just watched from the side.
"From this day forward, the deputy general is hereby dismissed. Not only the deputy general, but everyone is subject to the same punishment. Anyone who colludes with outsiders and commits such a transgression will be severely punished by this general!"
That evening, General Li punished everyone involved in the incident and re-established rules within the military.
This made Lin Rusi somewhat impatient.
Now, the matters in the military have been mostly resolved.
If they waited any longer, she was afraid Li Jingyang wouldn't be able to hold on for that long.
Just as General Li was about to leave, she immediately stopped him: "General Li, could you please prepare a horse for me? I can't wait. But you can wait until tomorrow before you lead the army out."
General Li was taken aback: "Your Highness, isn't it too hasty to set off tonight, and it's not safe either?"
"It's alright. I'm worried about Your Highness. Please, General Li, set off with your men as soon as possible!"
Lin Rusi did not hesitate at all and insisted on setting off immediately.
Li Xiao Kui approached and frowned upon seeing her anxious expression: "Your Highness, I won't see you off. I'll come to find you after I've rendered meritorious service. I believe His Highness is definitely alright!"
Hearing his affirmative voice, Lin Rusi smiled at him and said, "Yes, I believe you!"
The two said their goodbyes in a hurry, and Lin Rusi set off overnight, arriving at her destination before dawn.
She rushed to the post station and went straight upstairs.
But before she even reached the room, Lin Rusi could smell a strong stench of blood.
problem occurs!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but frown.
Meanwhile, Ye Qing came out carrying a basin of water.
Lin Rusi was startled when she saw the blood on Ye Qing's hand clearly.
"Ye Qing, what happened?! Is His Highness in such a serious condition?"
She was somewhat anxious and immediately approached, heading towards the room.
At this moment, Ye Qing was still stunned and hadn't come to his senses: "Your Highness, what brings you here?"
Seeing Lin Rusi's travel-worn appearance, he was somewhat incredulous, his eyes filled with surprise.
"Your Highness, you've arrived now. The Prince is still asleep. You can see his injuries by looking at them."
Ye Qing didn't know how to start a conversation, so she turned her head away and remained silent.
Lin Rusi didn't ask any more questions and quickly rushed inside.
She made a lot of noise, but even so, she didn't wake the person in bed.
As soon as Lin Rusi entered the room, a strong smell of blood wafted over.
She instinctively moved closer, and when she saw Li Jingyang's condition, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
"Your Highness..."
She opened her mouth, carefully squatted down by the bed, and reached out to take Li Jingyang's pulse.
But the next moment, Li Jingyang immediately realized what was going on.
He gripped Lin Rusi's wrist tightly with his other hand, his expression fierce.
But when he saw that familiar face, he was truly stunned: "Asi, what brings you here?"
Li Jingyang felt a pang of sympathy, especially seeing Lin Rusi's dark circles under her eyes, her chilly aura, and her travel-worn appearance.
It's clear that she hasn't rested at all in order to keep moving forward.
Lin Rusi immediately tried to get up, but Lin Rusi was pulled back.
Lin Rusi was unusually serious and pressed him down, saying, "Don't move! Rest well and don't move around anymore."
Her eyes were terribly red, and she lowered her gaze slightly, focusing intently on taking Li Jingyang's pulse.
But when she touched his wrist, she couldn't help but gasp.
His pulse was complex, sometimes faint and sometimes strong, making him look extremely dangerous!
How is this going?
She instinctively widened her eyes and looked at Li Jingyang.
But perhaps because of the familiar presence beside him, he fell into a deep sleep almost as soon as he lay down.
After gazing at him sleeping for a while, Lin Rusi got up and quietly left.
This time, Li Jingyang did not open his eyes again, and seeing this, Lin Rusi felt uneasy.
At this moment, Ye Qing was still guarding the door. When she came out, he said in a low voice, "Your Highness, you should rest well too. The Prince has not had a good time these past few days, but when he heard that you had been arrested, he immediately went to rescue you."
"Fortunately, Miss Ye's letter arrived in time, otherwise Master would really have had to return to the capital like this."
Hearing this, Lin Rusi felt even more conflicted: "I know, but what exactly is going on with your prince? Is Ye Qing a foreign king?!"
Ye Qing lowered his eyes and fell silent. But even without him saying anything, Lin Rusi could guess: "Help me write a letter, and I'll send it back to Senior Sister Ye."
Her medical skills were so limited that she couldn't save Li Jingyang.
Now that he can't bother his master with everything, he has no choice but to ask Ye Ruoruo for help.
Thinking of this, she sighed, her gaze heavy.
"Yes!"
Ye Qing nodded, delivered the letter, and left.
……
Ye Ruoruo's letter was returned the next day.
The letter said that she had not been able to contact her master for a long time, but she managed to contact her eldest brother.
My senior brother will arrive in a couple of days.
This was the first time Lin Rusi had ever heard that they had a senior brother.
As for Ye Ruoruo, she was unable to leave at the moment, as the emperor still needed her help.
"Senior Brother?"
Lin Rusi held the letter and couldn't help but start thinking.
She had only just found out that she had a senior brother, and no one had told her before.
However, in the letter, Ye Ruoruo also explained the identity of this senior brother.
I've heard that this senior disciple is the legendary Ghost Doctor.
However, the other party has an extremely eccentric temper and is very difficult to get along with.
Upon seeing the letter, Ye Qing seemed to remember something and whispered, "I know this person. He seems to have a rule: kill one person to save one person."
Lin Rusi frowned in surprise and subconsciously complained, "What kind of weird rule is this?"
