Meng Tan quickly came over to support him. "Your Highness, even when Military Advisor Shen failed to summon you back and Her Majesty the Queen herself has come, are you still insisting on risking your life in the city?"
Huo Wei's face was a bit pale. Leaning against the wall, having had no food for several days and being injured, his body was already a bit weak.
He said hoarsely, "Mu Rong Min only sent so few men. The imperial physicians don't know martial arts, and those 200 personal guards are used to living in comfort in the imperial city. This task of exploring the battlefield can only be done by this king and the Black Tiger Cavalry in person."
Meng Tan said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, I've already ordered the Black Tiger Cavalry to come. You should go and join Her Majesty the Queen quickly. You can't delay any longer. You're already injured."
Huo Wei covered his abdomen. Just now when he heard the word "queen", he thought he had misheard.
But when Meng Tan said it again, there was a bit of surprise in his eyes, and his long, slanting phoenix eyes lifted.
"What is she doing here? Is she here to court death? Tell her to leave quickly!"
The situation in Danyang City was no longer optimistic. Would a princess who had been pampered since childhood come to such a place without crying?
Meng Tan said, "Her Majesty the Queen said that if you don't come out, she will enter the city."
Huo Wei frowned, and then laughed. "Fine. This king has finally met a woman who is crazier than himself."
He didn't delay any longer. He had already done enough exploring of the situation in the city, and it was time to leave.
Meng Tan didn't have time to ask in detail how the highly skilled Prince of Yuzhang got injured. He quickly led his men and secretly took him away.
Xianyun Mountain outside Danyang City
The mountain was lush and green, with clouds and mists coiling around the middle of the mountain. It was an excellent place to rest and also a place where one could overlook some movements in the city.
The common people in Danyang City didn't know that the imperial court had sent people. The whole city seemed a bit strange, and the resentment of the common people had grown stronger after the city was sealed off.
Du Gu Luanyue was a bit puzzled that Huo Wei didn't openly go to comfort the common people in the city with his men.
But she also thought that Huo Wei must have his own reasons for doing so, so she didn't expose her whereabouts rashly. She would wait to discuss everything with Huo Wei first.
Huo Wei was supported by Meng Tan as he got off the carriage. He slowly straightened his body and watched as that bright red figure gradually became clear in front of him.
Today, she wasn't wearing the phoenix robe or the court dress, and she wasn't wearing any rouge or jewelry, but her delicate face wasn't plain.
Wearing a narrow - sleeved dress, with her slightly raised black eyebrows and bright, sparkling eyes, she looked even more valiant and extremely charming.
He raised his rascally eyebrows. "What, are you here to court death too?"
Aunt Meijiang, who was standing on the side, couldn't help rolling her eyes. Meng Tan beside Huo Wei coughed awkwardly.
The nice meeting scene was completely ruined by his mouth.
Du Gu Luanyue stared straight at him, and a slight sigh of relief escaped her heart. She frowned.
"Huo Wei, you're at least a prince. How could you risk your life personally when such a big event happens?"
Huo Wei smiled. "Just admit that you're worried about this king."
Meng Tan, who was supporting his arm, looked at Du Gu Luanyue. "Your Majesty, His Highness is injured. We need to call the imperial physician quickly!"
Du Gu Luanyue looked at his abdomen. Just as she turned around to give an order, Huo Wei interrupted her.
"The knife wound isn't deep. The imperial physician needs to quickly develop a prescription to cure the plague. We can't delay."
After saying this, Huo Wei took out a stack of paper full of words from his bosom and handed it to Shen Guilan, saying angrily,
"What a big deal. You even called her here. You don't look like a man."
Shen Guilan gave him a serious look. "I don't want to argue with you now. I'll go and study the prescription first."
He quickly spread out the things and took a look. It was a detailed record of the areas in Danyang City where the plague was the most serious, the situation of material delivery, and the symptoms of the infected people of different ages during the seven days when Huo Wei entered the city.
He originally wanted to scold, but Huo Wei had really done a great job. After he finished his work later, he would scold from another angle.
Huo Wei returned to the tent in the camp. When he passed by Du Gu Luanyue, he whispered, "I'm injured. Didn't you see?"
Du Gu Luanyue pursed her lips. As soon as Huo Wei entered the tent, she lifted the curtain and walked in.
She looked at Huo Wei's black robe again but still couldn't see anything. "Where are you injured?"
Huo Wei's feet went weak. Losing his balance, he fell onto the bed. His lips were a bit dry. "My abdomen."
Du Gu Luanyue rolled up her sleeves and walked over. She untied Huo Wei's belt and found that it wasn't the celestial silk belt he wore every day.
"Where's the celestial silk belt I gave you? If you had worn it, you wouldn't have injured your abdomen."
Huo Wei didn't answer her. His eyebrows were tightly knitted, and the skin near his lower abdomen started to hurt as if it was being torn.
He had taken off that celestial silk belt before entering the city. He was afraid that if he really didn't come back, he would just waste such a good thing.
Du Gu Luanyue's hand suddenly paused. She looked at him a bit embarrassed. "Should I call Aunt Meijiang?"
To be exact, Huo Wei's wound wasn't on his abdomen but near his lower abdomen.
After she untied the belt, she found that she still had to pull down his pants a bit. She was a bit embarrassed about seeing things she shouldn't see.
Huo Wei was lying on the bed halfway. He turned his head and looked at her. "You can look, but she can't."
Du Gu Luanyue: "..."
Huo Wei reached out and grabbed her chin, turning her face towards his.
"Last time in the prince's mansion, when you took off Sheng Yunqi's pants, I didn't see you being so embarrassed. You're a married woman. What are you being shy about?"
Du Gu Luanyue slapped his hand away. "Huo Wei, haven't seen you for a month, and you're starting to go crazy again?"
Huo Wei coughed, and the blood from the wound on his lower abdomen gushed out.
Du Gu Luanyue didn't care about anything else. She quickly pulled down his pants.
Her cheeks were a bit flushed, and her eyes averted.
Huo Wei's black eyes were always fixed on her, and his gaze never shifted.
This was the first time he had seen Du Gu Luanyue act like a young girl. Her pale and profound outline was a bit softer at this moment. It was quite interesting.
He just didn't know that she was still a young girl.
Du Gu Luanyue roughly poured strong liquor on his lower abdomen. She was afraid that his wound would fester, and then she applied hemostatic white medicine on Huo Wei.
When the strong liquor was poured on, Huo Wei's breathing suddenly became rapid. He gritted his teeth so hard that he almost broke them and growled,
"Your Majesty the Queen has excellent medical skills. You look like you're going to kill someone."
Du Gu Luanyue glanced at him. "You're not afraid of death anyway."
After applying the white medicine, she got up and picked up the clothes on Huo Wei's body and put them aside. They were all useless.
At this moment, Huo Wei was naked. She averted her eyes.
"I'll call the imperial physician in to bandage you.
I'm at least your elder, and you're an adult man. It's not appropriate for me to do the following things."
Huo Wei said coldly,
"Since the first day we met, which thing we've done has been appropriate?
When Your Majesty the Queen seduced this king, when did you ever think you were an elder?
In this desolate place, this king likes you to be more proactive."
