The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!-Chapter 1369 - 1364: Breaching Ji Yun Country

Chapter 1369: Chapter 1364: Breaching Ji Yun Country

“But you are dead now, and you won’t meet your husband and son in the underworld,” Yun Dan said and then left.

Zhuo Qing lay on her side on the bed, her gaze shattered beyond repair, “There’s no afterlife?”

So she didn’t even have the hope of dreaming anymore?

She would never see her husband and son again?

What was all she had done for?

Zhuo Qing fell into confusion.

Ji Yun Country.

Chu Yihan launched a fierce attack and captured a border town of Ji Yun Country on the first day. This place bordered the Great Cheng Dynasty and was supplied by Ruo Shui Pass with food and military resources. The warriors were in high spirits, each one eager to break through Ji Yun Country to avenge Lin Sisi.

Ye Qingru had sustained severe leg injuries, yet on horseback, he had slain more than two hundred enemy soldiers, leading the charge to break through the gates of Ji Yun Country’s border city, bringing the army inside.

Within three days, Chu Yihan’s army was only two cities away from the capital of Ji Yun Country.

Ye Qingru and Ye Mian requested to keep up the momentum and take down the capital of Ji Yun Country, but Chu Yihan ordered them to rest the army, heal their wounds, and halt the attack for now.

Ye Qingru, still with his face covered in blood, said emotionally, “Emperor, our momentum is strong now. If we strike at their capital in one push, we can capture Chen Ruobai and cut off her head, which would be perfect for avenging General Lin!”

He had been alleviating his guilt by charging into battle these past days.

Otherwise, as soon as he closed his eyes, he would see Lin Sisi dying on the battlefield, her body broken and bones shattered.

Chu Yihan said gravely, “To strike in one push leads to a decline on the second and to total exhaustion on the third. Now, the supply of food and resources from the rear needs time. The soldiers have been fighting for days on end and need to recuperate. We can’t just seek temporary glory. The wounds on your body have already started to fester; you are not allowed to fight anymore.”

Ye Qingru, thinking that Chu Yihan was considering his health, knelt down quickly and kowtowed heavily, “My injuries are of no concern. I only wish to continue the siege. Please do not be troubled by me, Emperor. Allow me to proceed with the attack!”

If it were just ordinary injuries, Ye Mian would not have stopped Ye Qingru, but he knew even better than Chu Yihan the extent of Ye Qingru’s injuries. He quickly bowed and said, “Thank you, Emperor, for your consideration. I will go and pass the order now; the entire army will rest and cease battle.”

“Father! Emperor! My injuries are nothing…”

Ye Qingru wanted to say more, but Ye Mian kicked him directly in the leg, causing him such pain that he fell to the ground, nearly fainting.

Chu Yihan helped him up and personally carried him back to the military tent, instructing him not to move about anymore. Only then did Ye Qingru calm down somewhat.

As soon as Chu Yihan left, Ye Qingru began to complain to Ye Mian, “Father, why did you stop me from fighting? I can fight again! Right across is Long Guan City, I am sure I can take it down!”

“What will you use to attack? You can’t even walk steadily. Without a horse, you can only crawl on the battlefield! Don’t you know that?” Ye Mian, frustrated, pushed him onto the bed, took off his armor, and directly tore off his trouser leg.

The horrifying wounds on his legs were exposed to the air.

His bloody legs, the flesh beginning to rot and inflame, with bandages soaked not only in blood but also in thick yellow fluid. The flesh was a red, web-like tissue, and there wasn’t a single patch of intact skin to be seen.

Charging into the fray like this, letting his wounds bleed and fester, not to mention saving his leg, he was afraid he wouldn’t even have his life left!

Ye Qingru’s face turned red with shame, “It wasn’t a serious injury, I just need to be careful and I will be alright!”

“Don’t you dare try to act tough with me anymore! Even if the emperor doesn’t need you, there are plenty of vanguard generals with superior martial arts skills. Mo Qi’s ability to charge into battle alongside the emperor is many times stronger than yours! It’s only because the emperor sympathizes with your dedication to General Lin that he has given you this chance! If you wish to avenge General Lin, you must also cherish the emperor’s affection for his subjects! It would be a disgrace if you didn’t die on the battlefield but from an infected wound; how could you face General Lin in the netherworld?”

Ye Mian understood Ye Qingru; these words immediately struck the most painful spot in his heart.

Ye Qingru immediately called for a military doctor to treat his injuries, applying and consuming medicine without missing a single drop, lying in bed to recuperate properly, all for another chance to return to the battlefield.

In his dreams, he muttered, “General Lin, I will definitely avenge you, avenge you…”

Having followed Chu Yihan to campaign in the east and west for many years, Mo Qi was the person who understood his way of waging war the best. Now that he had halted to reorganize the troops, it was not just because of Ye Qingru, nor was it due to some notion of diminishing returns, but because he had other concerns.

Inside Chu Yihan’s military tent, there was another person.

He was chained and could not move, but he had not been drugged or hexed, and had regained some strength, plus with the treatment from the military doctor, one could vaguely recognize the stature of a man who once appeared tall and powerful.

Chu Yihan walked around from his resting place to behind the screen, and seeing Mu Rongche in front of untouched food, he said coldly, “I am not Chen Ruobai; I will not use vile means to coerce you, but have you considered the suffering of the Lian Hai Kingdom’s citizens, who are now enduring tremendous hardship?”

The Lian Hai Kingdom had fought a war with Ji Yun Country for several years, eventually suffering defeat, and the tragic state of its citizens was something he had heard about. Recently, he had his Shadow Guards collect quite a lot of information, which he now placed in front of Mu Rongche.

Any prince with a conscience would not seek death so readily, and would not choose to die so easily.

However, Mu Rongche remained unmoved and said weakly, “I have told you all of Chen Ruobai’s weaknesses that I can. Right now, to you, I am but a discarded chess piece, and you don’t have to go to the trouble of keeping me alive.”

Chu Yihan was a prodigy blessed by the heavens, whom he had had the fortune to meet back then. He greatly respected him. Now, being rescued by him from Qiongzhou City, instead of being punished or mistreated for being a man of Chen Ruobai, he received kindness. Chu Yihan had ordered a military doctor to treat him, showing broad-mindedness indeed.

This was the magnanimity and demeanor befitting one who aspired to unite the world.

But he was truly tired, and he no longer wished to stay in this painful worldly existence any longer.

“If you wish to die, I will not stop you, but you must give me a reason why Long Guan City cannot be attacked,” Chu Yihan sat in front of him, gently tapping the tabletop.

These few taps sounded like they were knocking on Mu Rongche’s heart.

Long Guan City.

“It was originally a beautiful city, with a pleasant temperature, spring-like in all four seasons.”

Mu Rongche fell into his memories, memories that were too long, too beautiful, and too tragic.

In his younger years, his father’s desires had not been so greedy, and Lian Hai Kingdom was still in friendly relations with Ji Yun Country, promoting mutual markets, intermarriage, and familial love as if they were one family.

He used to visit Long Guan City every year to play, staying for a month or two, and was treated well by the old emperor of Ji Yun Country.

But then one day, while he was roaming the mountains and streams, he discovered a strange woman in the mountains, who, though breathing, was in an unconscious state.
