The third prince explained calmly, “No, it’s my second brother and little sister who said that they’d like to come and visit after hearing that there are injured people in the camp. Advisor Cao, please lead the way.”
When the military advisor heard this, he immediately looked like he was about to cry.
It turned out that it wasn’t that no one cared about them. At the very least, the princes and the princess still wanted to visit them.
Advisor Cao sighed. “Your Highnesses, please follow this subject.”
The three of them followed Advisor Cao through the training camp and empty s.p.a.ce in front.
They then walked around the tent where the cooking was done and arrived at a simple residence.
The residence didn’t take up much s.p.a.ce and probably had only eight or nine rooms in total.
However, to Gu Nuo’er’s surprise, four patients were lying in each room.
Outside every room, there were soldiers boiling medicine. The strong medicinal scent filled the courtyard.
As for those patients, their injuries were of varying degrees. Some were injured in their arms, some in their legs, and some in their heads.
However, without exception, they were all in great pain. Their bodies were wrapped in white gauze, and some of them had blood seeping out of the bandages.
The second prince quickly covered Gu Nuo’er’s eyes. “Sister, don’t look. You might get nightmares!”
However, Gu Nuo’er was very curious. She blinked her watery eyes and her long eyelashes tickled Gu Zitang’s palm.
“Third Brother, what’s wrong with these soldiers?”
The third prince pondered for a moment before saying, “They partic.i.p.ated in the pursuit of some bandits a while ago. A large group of bandits took advantage of the fact that the New Year was nearing to rob, plunder, kill, and commit all sorts of crimes in the nearby mountains.
“As they were extremely vicious and there were many of them, the officials had asked for additional help from the military camp. They had gotten injured then.
“However, the wounds that were slashed by swords and sabers actually healed very slowly. The wounds tore open many times and bled non-stop. Several people died because of this.”
Gu Nuo’er’s big eyes revealed pity. “That must be very painful…”
She often went to court with her father and even played in the imperial study. Why hadn’t she heard of anyone reporting this matter?
The second prince, Gu Zitang, frowned in confusion. “With such a serious condition, why didn’t the military doctor apply to the imperial court for help?”
At the mention of this, Advisor Cao had endless amounts of grief.
“The New Year is almost coming, and the palace is short of medicinal herbs. It’s also not good to buy them from outside and bring them into the capital. Moreover, Your Second Highness, please forgive this humble subject for being blunt.
“Soldiers like us will only be put in important positions when needed. Applications to the imperial court are also easy. Usually, we try not to disturb the imperial court if we can.”
Gu Nuo’er sighed. “How muddle-headed. Illnesses get worse the more they are dragged out!”
It was no wonder her third brother wanted to help and look for the decaying bone flower to stop the bleeding.
The second prince frowned. “Every time it’s the end of the year, there will be a lot of inconveniences when the roads are blocked by snow. The food reserves and all kinds of medicine in the capital would become scarce, and their prices would also increase.”
Gu Nuo’er scratched her chin.
She took note of this problem in her heart.
However, the most important thing now was to resolve the pain these soldier older brothers go through when their wounds keep opening up and were difficult to heal.
The child struggled to get onto the ground and beckoned at the third prince. She stood on her tiptoes. “Third Brother, you might not need the decaying bone flowers. There might be a better and more convenient prescription. Let me think about it!”
Gu Ziyao was rather surprised. “Baby Nuo also knows about medicine?”
The child scratched the tip of her nose. “Oh, I dreamed of it before.”
As she spoke, she closed her eyes, opened her spiritual senses, and flew straight to the Ninth Heaven.
The child flipped through the divine books in Taishang Laojun’s1 study.
What should be the simplest and most effective medicine to stop bleeding?
