Chapter 217 Injured
After stepping into the miasma forest with Suifeng, Song Wan finally realized that what the female doctor and the people of Jingyang County said were not empty words.
They had only gone a mile deep when they were filled with a damp and decaying smell, as if even the air was poisonous, making it difficult to breathe.
From time to time, rustling noises could be heard from the surrounding grass, as if something was watching from the dark, ready to pounce at any moment.
Suifeng also said.
"I've seen the power of this miasma before. This time, thanks to the Qingxin Pills Miss Jiang gave me, otherwise we would have lost a lot of men before finding Prime Minister Song."
After traveling for two hours, they finally arrived at a cave.
The cave was obviously left over from the early years of ore mining. The entrance was wide enough to accommodate hundreds of people.
The cave is intricate and intricate, with countless small openings extending deeper into the cave like a maze.
Song Yi was placed in the cave inside.
When Jun Jiuchen saw Song Wan appear, he didn't say anything extra. He just asked the people from the Five Elements Department to guard the cave entrance outside and let Song Wan in to be treated by Song Yi.
When Song Wan saw his father covered in blood, he almost fell down.
In her impression, her father was always energetic even when faced with adversity, as if he was there to support her even if the sky fell. This gave her all the confidence she had gained over the past twenty years.
But now, he was lying there quietly, his face as pale as paper, the blood on his body had long dried up, as if he would lose his life completely in the next moment.
Jun Jiuchen looked at Song Wan's pale face, quickly reached out to support her, and comforted her with a somewhat reluctant tone.
"Don't worry, Song Qi has protected him very well. He just looks scary, but he won't die!"
This blood...is not all his. With your medical skills, saving him won't be a problem."
Song Wan also knew that this was not the time for her to grieve. She quickly suppressed her uncontrollable heartbeat at the sight of her father in this state, and quickly walked over to her father and squatted down...
Only after checking on her father's condition did she breathe a sigh of relief.
What Jun Jiuchen said is true.
My father fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss and inhalation of too much miasma.
Plus, I have several wounds on my body that need careful treatment, so I can't move.
However, after her eyes swept across the inner cave, her heart began to lift again.
The voice trembled slightly...
"Prince...where is Song Qi?"
Jun Jiuchen's voice did not sound again.
Song Wan felt a chill in her heart, tears welled up in her eyes, but she suppressed them.
He just lowered his head and began to heal his father.
Seeing this, Jun Jiuchen retreated silently.
……
Song Wan carefully treated his father's wounds and fed him some Qingxin Pills. When he walked out of the inner cave again, the sun had already set quietly.
Torches were lit in the cave outside, and teams of black-armored guards were sitting together in groups to eat.
When Song Wan walked straight to Jun Jiuchen, Suifeng and Huo Du beside Jun Jiuchen immediately moved their positions at the same time.
Song Wan sat down next to Jun Jiuchen and was silent for a moment before speaking.
"Prince...Song Qi...how did he die?"
Jun Jiuchen just said with a normal expression.
"He was shot in the vitals by an arrow and died."
Song Wan didn't know whether she believed what he said.
"Then...where is his body?"
Jun Jiuchen just said with some disapproval.
"It was inconvenient to move around with a dead person, so we just found a random hill to bury him."
Then he turned his head to look at her.
"Miss Jiang's condition only requires me to rescue Prime Minister Song, but she didn't say I have to care about the life and death of a secret guard."
"Now the King has found it for you. Miss Jiang, don't forget, you..."
But before Jun Jiuchen could finish his harsh words, tears began to fall from Song Wan's eyes like pearls from a broken string.
One by one, they hit his heart.
Jun Jiuchen knew that he couldn't hide it from her after all.
When they found Song Qi, his body had been torn apart by wild beasts until there was not a single piece of good flesh left, and even large pieces of white bones were exposed. Even his face was broken... The surroundings were full of traces of fighting and animal remains.
He hid the unconscious Song Yi in the gap between two huge rocks not far from him, covering him with dead branches and trees.
But even so, he still refused to close his eyes, as if relying solely on his willpower, until...
See him coming.
Jun Jiuchen rarely saw Song Wan cry. Seeing her like this, he felt a little upset for a moment, but he never knew how to comfort people. He had to turn his face away, not looking at her, staring at the burning flames in front of him, and said in a bad tone.
"The person is already dead, what's the point of crying!"
"If you have this much time, why not think carefully about who to avenge this?"
Song Wan naturally knew that crying was useless, but the worries that had accumulated in her heart over the past two days, as well as the panic she felt when she saw her father's appearance for the first time, were all gone.
When he guessed that Song Qi might have died a very tragic death, he could no longer restrain himself.
She reached out and wiped the tears from her eyes, speaking in a muffled voice.
"I understand, but... no matter what, please ask the prince to let me take him back."
"There are people waiting for him in the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Whether it was Song Jiu, Uncle Fu, or even his father waking up, they certainly didn't want to see him reduced to ashes.
Jun Jiuchen only uttered a muffled "hmm" in response, and then coughed a few times in a hurry for some reason.
Out of his doctor's instinct, Song Wan immediately heard the abnormality in Jun Jiuchen's cough.
He quickly pulled himself out of his sadness and asked.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Jun Jiuchen suddenly stood up, avoiding her concerned gaze, and loudly ordered Suifeng to bring her some food, asking her to go back and look after Prime Minister Song. He then walked out of the cave alone.
Song Wan looked at Jun Jiuchen's back and subconsciously wanted to follow him, but was blocked by Suifeng.
"Why are you stopping me? Is your prince injured?"
Suifeng just shook his head and laughed cheerfully.
"Miss Jiang, you're worrying too much. I'm the master's personal attendant. I'm fine, so how could the prince be injured?"
"You should listen to the prince, eat something, and stay with Prime Minister Song."
Song Wan saw that Suifeng's expression remained unchanged, but she still had doubts in her heart.
Suifeng was obviously a person who had undergone rigorous training. If he wanted to lie on purpose, it would be impossible for her to see through it.
She would rather trust her own judgment.
But now Jun Jiuchen had disappeared, and she couldn't run out to look for him in this dangerous place. She could only frown, temporarily follow Suifeng's words, and turn back to her father.
