There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 237 Red Blood

Grape: "Miss, Dr. Sun has arrived."

Li Shuchen stood up and said, "Doctor Sun, please take a look at Yuying and see how she is."

Doctor Sun looked at the bed and was greatly shocked.

General Liang

He immediately sat down and began taking her pulse. After a long while, he stood up and sighed.

"Miss Li, General Liang's injuries are too severe, and she is also exhausted and mentally drained, which caused her to fall into a coma. The most critical thing is that the wound on her chest is only an inch away from her heart. In such a dangerous situation, how dare the accompanying doctor let General Liang travel back to the capital? This is simply disregarding her life."

After saying that, he angrily got up and wrote a prescription.

Li Shuchen knew that Yuying was seriously injured, but after hearing what Doctor Sun said, she still couldn't help but shed tears.

"Is Yuying's life in danger?"

Doctor Sun replied, "No, but General Liang needs to rest and must not overexert himself."

Li Shuchen wiped away her tears and replied, "I understand. I'll make sure she gets plenty of rest."

Dr. Sun: "This is the prescription."

Li Shuchen took the prescription and handed it to Grape: "Grape, go with Doctor Sun to get the medicine."

Grape: "Yes, Miss."

Doctor Sun: "In that case, I'm leaving now. Please remember what I said."

"I'll remember, I'll see you off."

After seeing Doctor Sun off, Li Shuchen returned to the room and began to undress Liang Yuying. To allow her to rest properly, he removed her outer garment and tidied her up. Suddenly, a piece of paper fell out.

She crouched down and picked it up. Wasn't this the amulet she'd given Yuying? It was broken, only a corner remained. It seemed the amulet had already been used. Luckily, it was there; it had saved Yuying's life, otherwise…

Who exactly wants Yu Ying dead? Lord Bai? When will the person behind this be caught?

Just as Li Shuchen placed Liang Yuying's outer garment on the hanger, he heard Princess Changning's voice from outside.

"Li Shuchen, Li Shuchen, Yuying has returned to Beijing."

Princess Changning happily ran into the house to tell Li Shuchen the good news.

Li Shuchen put his index finger to his lips and shushed her, saying, "Yuying is resting, keep your voice down."

"What?!" Princess Changning looked at the bed in disbelief. "Yu Ying is really here with you? She came quickly."

Li Shuchen asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Princess Changning sat down, took a sip of tea, and said, "Last night, Yu Ying secretly returned to the capital and directly arrested Minister Bai, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. It turns out that Minister Bai and Prince Jiwa were secretly plotting to conquer the Zixing Dynasty and force it to change its name."

Li Shuchen frowned upon hearing this: "Does Lord Bai want to become the emperor?"

Princess Changning: "Yes, it's all in our correspondence. After things are settled, I will give you four cities to help you ascend to the throne of the Kingdom of Laji."

Li Shuchen also took a sip of tea and said, "Lord Bai's ambitions are quite considerable."

Princess Changning: "Yes, but thankfully they were caught. Young Master Xiao also put in a lot of effort in this matter; he was the one who found all these letters."

Li Shuchen smiled and said, "Young Master Xiao is capable, so we can rest assured."

Princess Changning nodded and smiled, "The husband Ziying chose for herself is quite good."

Li Shuchen: "I'm looking forward to attending their wedding."

Princess Changning nodded and looked at Liang Yuying, saying, "Yuying must have just finished capturing Lord Bai and came to find you. She's so tired she's fallen asleep."

Li Shuchen: "Really?"

Princess Changning: "Yes, she is truly good to you and misses you very much."

Li Shuchen glanced at Liang Yuying and said, "It's probably because I'm her first friend, so she's paying extra attention to me."

Princess Changning agreed wholeheartedly: "Of course, otherwise I can't think of any other reason. Alright, I feel relieved that Yuying is resting here with you. I'll head back to Aiyou Hall now."

Li Shuchen: "Go."

After Princess Changning left, Gu Ziying arrived quickly, saying happily...

"Shu Chen, Yu Ying has returned to Beijing."

Li Shuchen lifted his head onto the bed: "I know, she's resting."

Gu Ziying smiled and said, "Yuying is with you? You came so quickly!"

Upon closer inspection, his expression suddenly changed: "Something's not right, why is Yu Ying's face so pale?"

Li Shuchen explained, "The wounds I sustained in battle, Dr. Sun said require rest."

Gu Ziying: "I'll go back to the manor to find some medicinal herbs."

Li Shuchen called out to Gu Ziying, "Ziying, it's not necessary. I've already sent Grape to get the medicine, and I also have two century-old ginseng roots on hand."

Gu Ziying sighed, "If it's not enough, just ask me for more. I won't disturb Yuying's rest any longer."

Li Shuchen: Okay

Finally, Grape brought two packets of medicine into the house and handed one of them to her young mistress.

"Miss, Doctor Sun said this is for external application; I'm going to prepare the medicine for internal use."

Li Shuchen took the medicine: "Go."

After administering the oral medication, Li Shuchen began to undress Liang Yuying.

The sight of these scars, large and small, crisscrossing each other, made Li Shuchen's eyes well up with tears.

Especially the wound on his chest, a long, gruesome, blood-red line, reveals the perilous situation he was in at the time.

Li Shuchen's hands trembled as he applied the medicine bit by bit. After finishing, he helped her get dressed and murmured softly.

“Have a good rest”

When Liang Yuying woke up, it was already dark.

"Shu Chen, how long have I been asleep?"

Li Shuchen helped Liang Yuying to her feet: "It's been about five hours. You must be hungry. I made you some medicinal food, it's simmering on the stove. I'll go get it."

Liang Yuying: Okay

The medicinal food was brought over, and Li Shuchen fed Liang Yuying spoonful by spoonful. Liang Yuying ate quietly, enjoying the peaceful moment.

After finishing her meal, Liang Yuying noticed something was wrong with her clothes and asked...

"Did Shu Chen take off my coat for me?"

Li Shuchen nodded and said, "Who else could it be but me?"

Liang Yuying blushed: "Mmm"

Li Shuchen reached out to pull Liang Yuying's collar, but Liang Yuying grabbed her hand.

Li Shuchen met her questioning gaze and said, "It's time to apply the medicine."

Liang Yuying: "Apply medicine?"

Li Shuchen: "Yeah, why are you grabbing me? How can I apply medicine if I don't take my clothes off?"

Liang Yuying clutched her clothes tightly and said, "I...I can do it myself."

"Okay, you can do it yourself."

Li Shuchen stood by the bed watching Liang Yuying take action.

Liang Yuying's face flushed even more: "Shu Chen, could you turn around?"

Li Shuchen asked, puzzled, "Why are you turning around? I still need to apply medicine to you, and I need to check on you. We're both girls, what are you afraid of? Do you think I'm going to eat you?"

Liang Yuying whispered, "I can apply it myself."

Li Shuchen laughed in anger upon hearing this: "What can you apply? You can't even see the wound on your chest!"

Liang Yuying fell silent upon hearing this; she couldn't see.

Li Shuchen added, "Anyway, I already applied it to you once at noon, so what's one more time?"

Liang Yuying's face turned even redder after hearing this, so red it seemed to bleed, and her whole body felt hot as if it were about to burn.

This startled Li Shuchen: "Yuying, are you running a fever? Why is your face so red?"

Liang Yuying turned her head away: "No."

Li Shuchen placed his hand on Liang Yuying's forehead; it was burning hot to the touch. He said urgently...

"They said they didn't have a fever. I'll go get Dr. Sun."

Don't go.

Liang Yuying grabbed Li Shuchen and spoke with difficulty.

"I'm fine, I'll be alright in a bit. Shu Chen, please apply the medicine for me."
