Chapter 1143: Save the People First

uly willing to give me the position of mistress and control of the family, you shouldn't interfere in other people's business!"Fang Jinxiu suppressed the smirk in her heart, “Very well, very well. Fro...Chapter 1143: Save People First

Zong Bai stared straight ahead, his face expressionless.

"It's not that I didn't receive it for nothing. Your Highness isn't blaming me, and your generosity and forbearance are commendable. But I can't just pretend nothing happened."

Maybe after tasting pain, next time he will learn his lesson and be more cautious, not making such careless mistakes again.

"Besides, it's a fact that I have offended Your Highness, and this punishment is well-deserved."

"Please, Your Highness, grant your permission."

Tana was speechless. She turned her head away, feeling for the first time how difficult it could be to communicate with someone who seemed completely closed off.

"Since Master Zong insists on taking the punishment, then go ahead."

Zong Bai bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Fang Jinshi received Zong Yu halfway and after asking a few questions, she saw that there was nothing unusual about A Yu. She thought that King Jing should not have said anything out of line to him, it was her overthinking.

As the two walked back together, the atmosphere between Tanna and Zongbo on the stand was strange. They both sat stiffly, not a word spoken.

Fang Jinshui walked over and curiously asked.

"When I was away, did something happen Why isn't anyone talking"

Zong Bai saw his elder brother and sister-in-law return, and hurriedly stood up.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, Zongbei has something else to do so I'll be leaving first. You guys can watch the rest of the games slowly."

Fang Jinxiu watched Zong Bo's retreating figure in surprise, and suddenly Tana also stood up.

"Jinxiu Elder Sister, I want to go back and see that injured warrior. I'll take my leave first."

Fang Jinshui was puzzled. Just now, they were fine. She had just left for a short while, how did the two of them suddenly become so strange

Just as Tanna was about to turn and leave, Zong Yu suddenly spoke.

"The wounded warrior I had my subordinates carry away. I'm resting in the side hall inside the palace. His hand is likely broken, and he has some very serious wounds."

The imperial physicians in the palace were overwhelmed.

Tana's face stiffened. Marquis Wuding probably brought them to the side hall not because he liked meddling in other people's business, but because their warriors from the Northern Frontier were not as highly regarded as those from the other two countries.

Da Xi dared not offend the other two countries, so he could only allow their warriors from Beijang to be treated later. Even for more serious injuries, they had to wait until after everyone else was treated.

Fāng Jǐnxiù instantly understood Zōng Yù's meaning.

Imperial physicians certainly wouldn't dare to delay treatment for the wounded. It was likely that the emperor, in order to save face for Xixia and appease their anger, had forbidden the imperial physicians from treating the warriors from Beijang immediately.

"I'll go take a look."

"Today, the imperial physicians are likely too busy to handle everything. If you trust me..."

Before Fang Jinshui could finish her sentence, Tanya nodded eagerly.

"Trustworthy Of course, I trust Sister Jinxiu."

It can be said that in Dayixi, in this palace, she could only trust Fang Jinshu.

"Many thanks to my elder sister for helping me, Tanna is deeply grateful."

Every warrior from their northern border is extremely precious. It's not easy to cultivate an outstanding warrior.

They can't afford too many losses.

Fang Jinxiu nodded.

"Okay, don't be sad. Let's go see how badly he's hurt first."

Tana nodded hastily. The Wu Dinghou and his entourage left the stands and came to the side hall. This was a palace specially approved by the emperor for Zong Yu to rest in, and high-ranking officials enjoyed this treatment.

Sometimes, when government affairs are busy and discussions about state matters take too long, officials need to rest, eat, drink water, so this place was created.

Officials below the fifth rank shared a large hall for rest, with only a few individual officials having separate resting rooms.

As soon as Fang Jinshu arrived at the door, she heard a man's pained groan coming from inside. Tanya was too worried and pushed the door open first.

Fang Jinxiu and his wife followed closely behind.

A broken handbone, while painful, shouldn't cause a trained warrior to whimper.

A seasoned warrior, having fought on countless battlefields and endured rigorous training, possessed an extraordinary level of perseverance. Fang Jinshui, noticing something amiss, quickly retrieved her medicine box and approached the warrior from Beijang.

"Tana, let me take a look first."

The Northern Frontier warrior was still conscious, his eyes bloodshot and his face covered in sweat beads the size of millet. The veins on his neck and forehead bulged as he endured the pain, his complexion even faintly purplish.

Tana quickly gave way to Fang Jinshi, and she took out several thin silver needles.

"First, I'll seal a few of his pressure points to lessen his pain."

Indeed, after a few needles were inserted, the Beijiang warrior felt much less pain. All his senses became numb, he relaxed his strength, and the painful expression on his face lessened considerably.

Turning his head to look at Tanna, he uttered a difficult sentence.

"Your Highness, if the prince of Xixia comes to seek retribution, simply send out Ertu to die. You needn't worry yourself, Your Highness."

After saying that, he fainted.

Tana's mood was incredibly complex.

"This painting was made to spare the Northern Border. He feared that Xi Xia would attack the Northern Border if they knew about this, so he wanted to bear the burden himself."

Fang Jinshi patted her arm comfortingly.

"Back then, in that situation, anyone would have chosen to rush forward and defend their nation's dignity."

"He is a true warrior, I admire him."

"Don't worry, I won't let the Warrior be crippled. I believe you won't let him take the blame either."

"That goes without saying," Tanna nodded. "Ertu is the foremost warrior of our Northern Border and the most loyal soldier. I wouldn't let him die without reason."

"Well, there's no need to worry. Let's wait until Hurlt wakes up and then we'll see what happens. Worrying now won't help."

"Save the people first."

Fang Jinshu checked Ertu, and Hellie's attack was extremely vicious. On the surface, it looked like he had just broken his hand bones, but in reality, Ertu had fractures on seven bones all over his body.

To be beaten to such a state, alive.

This picture isn't really capable of beating Herrelier, it just doesn't dare to fight back.

When he rushed onto the stage, he was probably prepared to sacrifice himself for the sake of national dignity. He didn't even think about surviving Herlihy's attack, so he wouldn't fight back even if he died.

If he had acted then, the situation now would not be so optimistic. Xi Xia would certainly take advantage of this to attack the northern border, and even accuse Daxia of instigating it. It's impossible to say they wouldn't do that.

After a while, Fang Jinshi came out from the inner room. Ertu's injury had been treated properly.

Tana hurriedly stood up and looked at her.

Fang Jinshui knew she was worried, and smiled.

"Rest assured, Ertu's wounds may be beyond the reach of ordinary healers, but under my care, he will make a full recovery."

“I put all his broken bones back together and fixed them.”

"Follow my recipe and take the medicine for three months continuously, and just stay in bed to recover."

A broken bone is more troublesome, as it cannot be moved carelessly before it heals. If a set bone happens to misalign again, once the bone grows crooked, it has to be crushed and re-treated.

Patients are also in pain.

Tana remembered Fang Jinshi's words and had the maidservant bring the envoy from Beijiang to take Ertu back for good care.

"Jinshu elder sister, you've helped me again, Tanna doesn't know how to thank you."y trying to deceive them into saving him. Right before he got on stage, he confessed his true identity. He wasn't actually a prince of Xi Xia; he was just a distant relative of the royal family.I gues...
