Chapter 260: Chapter 260
The other injured also knelt down one after another. Shu’er quickly stepped aside and did not accept their courtesy.
"Sorry, everyone. My energy is limited, and I really..."
As soon as she said this, a hint of disappointment flashed in the others’ eyes, and a bitter smile appeared on their lips.
They watched helplessly as Lin Zhi, whose symptoms were much more severe than theirs, was cured, and they saw the healer.
Their long-silent hearts finally found hope.
But now, Shu’er tells them, her energy is limited.
Indeed, how could her precious time be used to treat them?
Even when she served as a military doctor in the camp, it was only because General Zhao had someone invite her to come for a period.
And she only treated those with severe illnesses that were near death.
Their injuries were not life-threatening and could still be of use to the military, so it was understandable that she wouldn’t waste time.
But...but they would have to live as cripples for the rest of their lives, with no chance for a turnaround.
Seeing these people’s expressions, Shu’er couldn’t help but sigh.
"I can’t save everyone; only those who can provide me with assistance can be saved."
Upon hearing this, the disappointment in the others’ hearts slowly began to stir again.
Does that mean they still had a chance?
Shu’er said, "If you do one thing for me, I will give you a token. Once you collect twenty, I will arrange a surgery for you."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately cheered up.
Their lives once again had hope!
As Shu’er and Tang Zan walked by, more and more people gathered, knowing that Tang Zan, who had been cured, was now so radiant, like a War God descending.
Many of the injured hoped to receive Shu’er’s healing.
This girl, it’s not an exaggeration to say she’s Hua Tuo reincarnated.
Shu’er looked at the scene of everyone’s support, feeling as if she had read about it in a book.
But wasn’t that the plot reserved for the female protagonist?
No, don’t overthink it. She’s just a near-dead cannon fodder now.
Have some clarity; this scene is merely a coincidence.
After taking a few more steps forward, Shu’er saw Doctor Liu standing with a sullen face at the entrance of the military tent.
All along, it was he who had been surrounded by people, but since this Shu’er entered the camp, his aura, the respect of others, had all been taken away by Shu’er one by one.
Now, the soldiers probably couldn’t even remember that there was once a respected Doctor Liu in the camp.
But those who knew seemed to know only this criminal woman called Shu’er!
Whenever he thought of this, Doctor Liu hated himself for not killing Shu’er back then.
Doctor Liu huffed and puffed in anger. He looked at the Fifteenth Prince beside him, persuading with lowered eyes.
"Fifteenth Prince, Shu’er bears a grudge against us and is adept at inciting people. If she continues to be arrogant, winning over other soldiers in the camp, I’m afraid the Gulan Military Camp will no longer heed Your Highness."
"Your Majesty sent you here to Gulan Military Camp for training. If the people in the camp do not listen to Your Highness, it would be detrimental to your future."
The Fifteenth Prince’s face was gloomy. He wanted to go up and find trouble with Shu’er; he hated such arrogant people, who seemed to shine at all times.
He had to drag her into the mud, to see her in a disheveled state.
Yan Hengjin looked at his attendant, who understood and shouted angrily.
"This is a military camp. Are you gathering to cause trouble?"
With this accusation, the soldiers scattered like birds and beasts, but before leaving, they spoke to Shu’er.
"Miss Pei, thank you. We will come to Deserted Mountain to find you tomorrow."
Seeing these soldiers act this way, Doctor Liu resented Shu’er even more, feeling a burning itch in his teeth. Even at his most respected, no one had fawned over him this way.
And Shu’er, just a mere woman, how could she deserve everyone’s affection?
It’s just because of that face!
He sneered, "Shu’er, it seems you’re quite adept at winning people’s hearts. I just don’t know if it’s due to your medical skills or something else."
After saying this, he glanced at Shu’er suggestively, and soon he felt a sharp pain on his cheek, warm blood running down.
Turning around, he found it was Tang Zan looking at him, his gaze dark and cold, making him shiver.
Shu’er smirked, "I’m just doing what I’m supposed to do. Please, Doctor Liu, put your filthy thoughts away."
The Fifteenth Prince snorted coldly, "Mrs. Pei, why do you not salute when you see this Prince?"
Shu’er performed a courteous salute, leaving the Fifteenth Prince speechless, stuck with the words in his throat.
Then, she approached Yan Hengjin, and the soldiers all drew their swords towards Shu’er, as if she would be hacked to death if she took another step forward.
Shu’er smiled, "No need to be tense. Your Fifteenth Prince will be interested."
After saying this, she shoved something into Yan Hengjin’s hand. Content originally comes from novel⟡fire.net
She looked at Doctor Liu with a trace of mockery in her eyes. Previously, Doctor Liu had urged Yuhua Valley’s people to deal with her. She hadn’t acted because she was too busy.
But now that she had some spare time and Doctor Liu happened to bump into her gun, she naturally wouldn’t be polite.
It’s just a handy matter.
Yan Hengjin felt something cold and hard in his hand. Once he realized what it was, he was immediately furious.
"Guards, Mrs. Pei dared to assassinate the Prince, take her away."
Tang Zan frowned, stepped forward, and blocked Shu’er, exuding an intimidating aura that kept the soldiers from advancing towards Shu’er.
Doctor Liu yelled angrily, "Are you not afraid to take on the role of a crippled military household head? How dare you defy His Highness!"
Tang Zan sneered, about to deal with Doctor Liu when Shu’er tugged his sleeve. Understanding, he bent down, and Shu’er smiled.
"You don’t need to act; he won’t be arrogant for long."
Shu’er gave him a reassuring look, and Tang Zan turned his gloomy gaze towards Doctor Liu and Yan Hengjin.
The soldiers had already surrounded them, but Shu’er showed no fear.
Shu’er said calmly, "Oh? When did I ever attempt to assassinate His Highness?"
Yan Hengjin raised his hand, revealing a dagger with Dazi engravings.
"Not only did you try to assassinate me, but you also colluded with the Dazi. Mrs. Pei, what else do you have to say?"
At the sight of the dagger, Doctor Liu’s face changed, filled with terror, his voice trembling.
"Bold! Take Mrs. Pei away."
But Shu’er laughed, her laughter filled with ridicule and wantonness, as she looked at Yan Hengjin as if he were a fool.
"Won’t the Fifteenth Prince ask how I obtained this dagger? How can you be so sure I’m colluding with the Dazi?"
Doctor Liu dared not let Shu’er continue talking or take over the conversation.
"This must be the Dazi Commander’s dagger; how could it be casually given to a mere criminal like you, unless you’ve colluded with him to get such a token!"
"Guards, why aren’t you acting!"
