Chapter 733
Upon hearing this, the man with the mustache was taken aback.
Yes, today's massive sandstorm caused varying degrees of damage to all teams, with the most severely affected teams even disappearing entirely.
Even they lost nearly a third of their manpower.
But even the two maids who served him personally were unharmed in that small group.
"You've noticed, haven't you?"
"They are definitely not simple," said Master Sheng.
"So...should we try to recruit them?"
The man with the mustache asked.
Master Sheng shook his head: "Their identities are still unclear. Recruiting them rashly may backfire."
The man with the mustache nodded approvingly: "When that doctor comes over in a bit, should we try to get some information out of her first?"
Master Sheng nodded thoughtfully.
Half an hour later, the guards brought Meng Qianqian over.
Master Sheng did not see her.
The man with the mustache waited outside the tent with a smile, his attitude very polite.
"Miracle doctor."
He greeted them.
Meng Qianqian said, "I don't deserve to be called a divine doctor, just call me Alna."
“Arna”.
The man with the mustache smiled and said, "A good name. My name is Tuoba Ye."
Meng Qianqian asked, "Where is the patient?"
The man with the mustache paused, then said, "Regarding the patient, I have a favor to ask..."
Meng Qianqian glanced at him and said indifferently, "I only care about treating illnesses. I know nothing about anything else, and I won't ask about or care about anything else."
Tuoba Ye was quite surprised by Meng Qianqian's tact and couldn't help but look at her with newfound respect.
For a young woman to be so adept at social skills, Master Sheng was right; this group of people is no ordinary person.
He gestured for us to come in: "Miracle doctor, please come in."
The guards lifted the curtain, and Meng Qianqian stepped inside.
When Ya'er tried to follow them inside, she was stopped by the guards.
Meng Qianqian turned around: "What does this mean?"
Tuoba Ye smiled and said, "Please don't be offended, Divine Doctor. This is Master Sheng's order. Only you are allowed to go and treat the patient."
Ya'er said, "I cannot leave my young lady."
Tuoba Ye said, "Young lady, please don't be in a hurry. We will not harm the divine doctor. You can wait outside the tent."
Meng Qianqian said to Ya'er, "Give me the medicine box."
Ya'er opened her mouth, but could only hand the medicine box to Meng Qianqian.
Meng Qianqian carried the medicine box into the tent.
The guards immediately lowered the curtain, preventing Ya'er from even glancing at it.
Tuoba Ye also stood guard outside the tent.
It was clear that the patient inside the tent had an extremely special status, so much so that even Sheng Ye's personal strategist was not allowed to approach him at will.
There were two people inside the tent: a young girl lying on a blanket, breathing faintly, and a maid kneeling beside her, constantly wiping away her cold sweat.
When the maid saw Meng Qianqian, she stood up, bowed politely, and then stepped aside.
Meng Qianqian put down her medicine box and took the girl's pulse: "She is not poisoned."
The maid said, "That's right, my young lady didn't drink the water there."
Meng Qianqian said, "But her condition is much worse than poisoning."
The maid's expression changed.
Meng Qianqian said, "She's been sick for several days now, haven't you called a doctor for her?"
The maid bowed her head and said, "Please."
Meng Qianqian said, "The doctor told her to rest and not to travel any further, but you didn't agree, right?"
The maid nodded slowly.
"Where's the doctor?"
Meng Qianqian asked.
The maid said, "The doctor... is gone." Meng Qianqian understood; he must have perished in the sandstorm.
She looked at her hand, which was being held tightly, and said to the maid, "I need some hot water and a bowl of plain porridge. Remember, plain porridge. Go and get it quickly."
"Yes."
The maid came out of the tent.
Meng Qianqian said, "Alright, you can open your eyes now."
The girl slowly opened her eyes, looking at Meng Qianqian with nervousness and trepidation.
Meng Qianqian said softly, "Don't worry, I won't tell."
Anxiety still flickered in the girl's eyes.
Meng Qianqian sighed softly, took her hand, and touched her slightly protruding belly: "I am also about to become a mother."
The girl suddenly opened her eyes wide.
Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "Now, can you trust me?"
The girl nodded: "Mm."
Meng Qianqian said, "That doctor, did you kill him?"
The girl's eyes flickered, and a hint of guilt flashed across her face.
Meng Qianqian added, "I don't mean to use your weakness against you. I believe you must have had a compelling reason to kill him."
The girl lowered her eyes and whispered, "He threatened me with my pregnancy. If I didn't do as he said, he would spread the news... I... I can't let anyone know I'm pregnant... Otherwise, they... they definitely won't let me and the child go..."
Meng Qianqian sighed, "It seems things are a bit complicated."
Complexity is good, so that you have loopholes to exploit.
Meng Qianqian hadn't forgotten her purpose of saving lives; saving people was true, but helping herself out of trouble was also true.
"I……"
The girl hesitated to speak.
Meng Qianqian said considerately, "It's alright. If it's difficult, don't force yourself. I brought some medicine to help with pregnancy. You can take it first. I'll tell them it's a medicine for treating colds and replenishing qi and blood."
Everyone has been poisoned and is severely weakened; they will need to rest for at least a day or two. You should also take this opportunity to recuperate. Avoid worry and anxiety. If needed, have your maid fetch me. My name is Arna.
The girl was deeply moved: "Thank you, Alna."
Meng Qianqian took some pills from the medicine box and gave them to her, explaining the dosage.
"I haven't asked your name yet. We'll probably see each other quite often in the future. How should I address you next time?"
Meng Qianqian asked with a smile.
The girl took the pill and whispered, "Nalan Xue."
Meng Qianqian smiled: "Nalan Xue is also a good name."
Thinking of something, she asked, "Would you like some sour apricots?"
Nalan Xue's eyes lit up, and she nodded eagerly.
Meng Qianqian took a packet of dried sour apricots from her purse and handed it to her.
Nalan Xue: "Are you giving them all to me?"
Meng Qianqian generously held out her hand: "Yes, I still have some in my bag."
Like a squirrel that has just spotted a pine cone, Nalan Xue immediately grabbed the dried apricots, as if afraid that if she was a step too slow, Meng Qianqian would change her mind.
Meng Qianqian was amused by her.
Nalan Xue said somewhat embarrassedly, "I... I will pay you."
Meng Qianqian said, "The sour apricots are a gift for you. As for the consultation fee, it was Mr. Sheng who asked me to come. I'll just ask him for it."
Nalan Xue: "Oh."
"Well then, I'll head out now."
"you……"
Meng Qianqian had just stood up when she heard her voice and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Nalan Xue shook her head: "It's nothing."
Meng Qianqian smiled: "Remember to take your medicine. Your secret is safe. No one will find out. Don't worry."
Nalan Xue gazed deeply into Meng Qianqian's eyes, and in her resolute gaze, she inexplicably sensed a convincing power.
We stepped out of the tent.
Meng Qianqian's smile vanished.
Nalan Xue.
I'm sorry, but I'm about to start using you.
