We agreed that I would be married off to a short-lived general, but why is my husband so powerful?

"Did you bring the medicine?" Yue Lingyuan hesitated for a moment before asking.

Wen Rushi nodded. "I only brought one antidote pill."

The antidote pills were made in small quantities, and Wen Rushi only brought one symbolically, but it unexpectedly came in handy.

"Wait for me a moment."

Yue Lingyuan nodded, left those words, and turned to enter the tent. He didn't come out for a while.

"You can go in now."

It turned out that the tents were full of wounded soldiers, many of whom were barely clothed. Since Wen Rushi and the others were all women, they naturally couldn't go in like that. Yue Lingyuan went in and had them tidied up before letting everyone in.

Xiang Ying was clearly unsurprised and was the first to enter the tent upon hearing this.

Wen Rushi didn't hesitate and entered the tent without any hesitation.

Yue Lingshan, realizing she wanted to stay, disregarded everything else and hurriedly entered her tent.

Yue Lingyuan was somewhat surprised by the calm demeanor of the two women, the aunt and the sister-in-law.

As soon as Wen Rushi entered the tent, she was hit by a wave of hot air that smelled of sweat and blood, which made her hold her breath.

What came into view were rows of simple beds made of wooden planks, on which lay soldiers who were seriously injured and unable to move.

They did not wail; the entire tent was quiet except for the whispers of the medic instructing the young apprentice beside him.

Following closely behind, Yue Lingshan turned pale from the smell inside the tent. Seeing that her sister-in-law remained calm, she quickly held her breath.

Although she was a daughter of a military general, she had never seen such a scene before, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't shocked.

After the two women entered the tent, Xiang Ying kept a close eye on Wen Rushi's expression.

In her opinion, Wen Rushi was a young lady from a civil official's family, and she would definitely be disgusted by such a filthy scene.

However, the result disappointed her. Not only did the other party not show any disgust, but Wen Rushi even took the initiative to approach the wounded soldiers.

These soldiers were all badly wounded, some missing limbs, some with their bellies ripped open. They lay in bed, some unconscious, others awake but with numb eyes.

Yue Lingyuan felt very bad seeing this scene.

For more than a month, he secretly led his soldiers in several raids on those barbarian tribes, and the number of wounded soldiers was much higher than before.

But he had to do it. In recent years, the barbarian tribes seemed to be peaceful, but who could have imagined that they would soon march south and take over the Central Plains, plunging the people of the Great Jin Dynasty into misery.

This time, he seized the initiative, leading his troops deep into the grasslands to annihilate each of the barbarian tribes, all in order to weaken the barbarian military power.

Casualties were inevitable, and although Yue Lingyuan was reluctant, he had no regrets.

The group had just been discussing Tie Zhu, and when they saw General Yue enter, their eyes lit up.

He tried to sit up, but his body was too weak. Lying on the hospital bed, he could only stretch his neck to look at Yue Lingyuan.

Who wouldn't want to live a good life in this world?

Even Tie Zhu, who had already resigned himself to his fate, was no exception.

"Young General..."

Yue Lingyuan walked to his side and looked at the military doctor who was treating other soldiers.

"Medic, I have an antidote pill here. Could you see if it's usable?"

The medic didn't even look up, continuing to treat the wound. "Wait a moment."

Inside this tent, dozens of beds were packed tightly together. Both of the army's doctors were here, and even with the addition of two apprentice doctors, they were still too busy to handle everything.

Wen Rushi saw all of this, but she was always afraid of trouble, so even though she knew medicine, she did nothing.

After a while, Dr. Zhang finished treating the wounded patient and then looked at the group of people.

Not only did the military doctor look over, but everyone in the tent whose neck could still move looked at Wen Rushi.

Wenru calmly took a small porcelain bottle from the package in Liuli's hand and asked Liuli to hand it to the army doctor.

Zhang Jun wiped his hands with the apron he was wearing and took the small porcelain bottle.

At this moment, Xiang Ying explained from the side, "The young mistress said it's a regular antidote pill. Dr. Zhang, could you take a look and see if it's suitable for Tie Zhu?"

The tent wasn't soundproof, so Dr. Zhang naturally heard the conversation outside. He didn't ask anything, took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket, poured the antidote pills onto the handkerchief, and smelled them carefully. He could only distinguish two common medicines inside, but he was certain that the antidote pills in his hand were not the common antidote pills available on the market.

Finally, he scraped off some of the dregs with a bamboo stick and tasted them, but he still knew nothing.

He shook his head and sighed, "Alas! My medical skills are not good enough to distinguish which medicines are used in this medicine, nor can I confirm whether it is the right medicine for the condition."

Xiang Ying pursed her lips. "So, the ingredients of this medicine are unknown. In that case, I'm afraid..."

Although she didn't finish her sentence, everyone understood what she meant.

Wen Rushi was confident in her medicine and understood that it was normal for others to have doubts because they did not know its effects. However, she did not understand why Xiang Ying was trying to stop Tie Zhu, who was clearly waiting to die.

"Even the military doctors are helpless and have given up. Does Tiezhu have any other choice but to wait for death? Why not give it a try..." Wen Rushi said expressionlessly.

Xiang Ying was surprised that this woman, who seemed to be a woman of few words, would dare to question her. Her face immediately turned cold. "What the young mistress said does make some sense, but if your medicine cannot cure the poison, Tie Zhu will not only die immediately, but will also suffer inhuman torment. Can you bear that responsibility?"

Wen Rushi said, "If my medicine can cure the poison, then his life is not meant to end; if it cannot, then it is his fate."

She was telling the truth.

But some people don't think that way; they just feel that Wen Rushi is too indifferent.

"You're being too frivolous! You're completely disregarding human life!" Xiang Ying's voice rose several octaves.

"That's enough." Yue Lingyuan glanced at the two of them, then looked at Dr. Zhang and another Dr. Shi.

"Two military doctors, is there really nothing you can do about the poison in Tie Zhu's body?"

The military doctor, Zhang, shook his head. "Young General, it's not that I don't want to detoxify him, it's just that I really have no other choice. My specialty is treating external injuries."

Doctor Shi also shook his head, "Young General, my methods of detoxification are not as good as Doctor Zhang's."

"What are the chances, then, that this military doctor believes the antidote pill will cure the rare poison from the Western Regions?"

"Among the rare poisons of the Western Regions is the Blazing Sun Flower. This flower is extremely yang in nature, yet it is incredibly poisonous. I observe that there are two medicines in this antidote pill that have the same properties as the Blazing Sun Flower. I'm afraid that not only will it not be able to cure the poison, but it will also worsen the poison of the Blazing Sun Flower..." Doctor Zhang shook his head. "In my opinion, it's less than 10% effective."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed immediately, except for Wen Rushi.

Dr. Zhang practically said outright that the antidote pills were useless.

There's a 10% chance of getting rid of the poison, but that's only because the young mistress Wen Rushi kindly offered her help.

With a sigh, Dr. Zhang put the antidote pill back into the small porcelain bottle and handed it to Liuli.
