She suddenly understood the meaning behind Xuan Ming's slight hesitation when he went to find her that night.

He was afraid that he didn't know if he could survive.

But what he and Xie Jiajia said was that there would be danger but there would be no major problems.

This half-dead wound——

Xie Jiajia took a deep breath, stood up, took off her cloak and threw it on the shelf aside. She went to the table and touched it. The tea was cold.

The doctor and apprentice have some hot water, but it looks like they want to use it.

She had no choice but to carry the teapot to the moon gate, lift the tent, and hand it to Shasha: "Get some hot water."

"well!"

Shasha agreed stammeringly, and soon got a pot of hot water.

Xie Jiajia brought it in, poured it into the tea cup, held the handkerchief and soaked it, then took it to the bed and squatted down, gently wiping Xuan Ming's chapped lips with the warm and wet handkerchief.

After doing this for several times, the dry skin was finally softened.

Xie Jiajia stood up and looked around the room again, then poured hot water into the wooden basin.

He found a clean towel and washed it, then returned to the bed and squatted down, wiping the sweat from Xuan Ming's face and wiping the messy hair towards his ears.

After wiping it clean, Xie Jiajia untied Xuan Ming's hair tie, combed it with five fingers, arranged it a little, and tied it up with the hair tie again.

Xie Jiajia didn't say a word during the whole process.

The doctor and his apprentice didn't say a word, but their eyes would drift over to take a look from time to time.

"Be serious!"

Xie Jiajia frowned and turned back. The two were so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads and did not dare to look any further.

Seeing that they were doing their jobs peacefully, Xie Jiajia rolled up her sleeves, washed the towel again, and sat back on the bed.

Xuan Ming's neck and face were sweating all the time.

Xie Jiajia wiped it several times, touched his cheek several times with her fingers, and found that he was very hot.

She washes the towels with hot water, so her hands are already a little warmer, but this guy's face is actually hotter than her hands?
Xie Jiajia turned back and asked the doctor: "He has a fever. It's very hot. Is this okay?"

"It's been cold and hot for the past two days. The medicine specially prepared by the imperial doctor said it's fine... Don't worry, miss. The imperial doctor will be back soon!"

The doctor replied seriously: "The doctor who treated General Xuanming was a very qualified old doctor from Tai Hospital. His Highness personally told him that he was very dedicated and conscientious."

Xie Jiajia frowned and nodded, but did not relax.

More than half an hour passed like this.

During this period, Xie Jiajia sat in front of Xuan Ming and did not deliberately look back. However, those terrible injuries and the even more terrible way of dealing with the injuries frightened her.

Xuan Ming didn't wake up during the whole process, but the hand on the side of his face was shaking from time to time, and he occasionally groaned. You can imagine how painful it was.

"All right!"

The doctor finally let out a breath, "Only the hands and face are left."

Xie Jiajia glanced at Xuan Ming's hand. The tips of his five fingers were all wrapped. She was not sure whether his injuries were what she had guessed. She was obviously afraid of those bloody scenes, but she didn't leave as if taking root under her feet.

When the doctor took off the white gauze wrapped around Xuan Ming's hand, Xie Jiajia couldn't help but gasp.

All the nails on the five fingers were pulled out!
The place where the fingernails were originally was bloody and bloody. When the wound was removed, it was accidentally pulled on. Xuan Ming, who was originally in a daze, suddenly trembled.

"Easy, light!"

Xie Jiajia said in a tight voice: "Be careful!"

She knew that such a situation was inevitable, but she couldn't help but stress it out to the doctor.

The doctor nodded repeatedly, his movements gentler, but also a little faster.

Xie Jiajia can only stand by the window and watch now.

Halfway through the treatment of the injury, Xuan Ming woke up from pain.

He didn't even raise his eyes, lowered his head and bit the soft pillow beside his mouth, closing his eyes forcefully, without making a sound during the whole process.

When the doctor healed the wound on his finger, he seemed to be sweating profusely.

He stood up: "Now this is the only thing left on my face..."

"I'll come!" Xie Jiajia said, "Only medicine is used here without bandaging, right? Sir, rest first."

"Alright."

The doctor took a breath. He had been treating the wound for nearly an hour and had to concentrate and be careful. He was indeed very tired.

And compared to other injuries, the injuries on the face are actually nothing if not treated.

The doctor and the apprentice all withdrew.

Xie Jiajia sat down beside the bed and picked up the small celadon altar.

It was ointment for the face, left behind by the doctor from before.

"you……"

Xuan Ming, who was lying on the bed, made a hoarse cry, "Why are you here?"

He had no idea there was anyone else in the room before, and when Xie Jiajia was talking to the doctor, he thought he was dreaming.

It wasn't until those cool and soft fingertips touched his face that Xuan Ming realized that she was really there.

But I was so injured that I didn’t have any clothes on...

Xuanming reflexively pulled the quilt to cover himself.

He had been suppressing and enduring for too long, and his willpower was no longer what it was before. When his fingers touched the quilt, the bone-crushing pain made him scream uncontrollably.

Xie Jiajia's face turned pale with fright, "What are you doing! Do you know what you are like now? Don't you know what you want?"

"Don't pull the quilt, you can't cover me now!"

Xuan Ming closed his eyes in pain.

Xie Jiajia guessed that his wound hurt and she collapsed in embarrassment, so she said casually: "I, am I just too clumsy and hurt you? Then I'll be gentler... Don't scream, people outside will think that I am What are you doing..."

"You - get out!" Xuan Ming said depressingly.

"I'll leave after I finish taking the medicine."

"no need!"

"Just a little..."

"I said no!" Xuan Ming shouted in a low voice, broken down: "There are many people in the house, so I don't need to trouble you to do such a thing. Please get out quickly!"

"Why don't you recognize good people——"

Before Xie Jiajia finished speaking, Xuan Ming suddenly raised his hand, pressed his wrist against Xie Jiajia's and pressed his hands on her shoulders.

Xuan Ming raised his arm, directly over Xie Jiajia's head, and hooked his arm on the back of Xie Jiajia's neck.

Xie Jiajia threw herself in front of Xuan Ming out of control, and the tip of her nose even touched the wound on Xuan Ming's cheek.

A breath of medicine and sweat rushed into his nose.

Xie Jiajia suddenly stopped breathing.

She saw collapse, weakness, and embarrassment in Xuan Ming's eyes.

I also saw images of myself panicking.

Xuan Ming gasped: "Get out."

"it is good……"

Xie Jiajia nodded stiffly, "I will, immediately... let me go slowly, be careful, don't hurt your hand..."

Xuan Ming closed his eyes. The pain in his body and the collapse in his heart had already brought him to the critical edge.

He slowly let go of his hand.

Xie Jiajia didn't waste any time and quickly got up and ran out.

But when she opened the door, she was fixed there as if she were having her acupoints pressed——

Xie Zhaozhao and Yun Qi stood in the yard.

Xie Jiajia opened her mouth, quickly closed the door, ran back, and said in a very low voice: "It's not that I won't leave, it's that someone is coming. I, I, hey, I didn't mean to do it anyway!"

Xie Jiajia found an extremely thin blanket and covered Xuan Ming's body. Then she reopened the door and fled the scene as if nothing had happened. (End of chapter)
