Yan Ruozhen first ordered his subordinates to hide in the tunnel, because it was not yet certain whether the artillery fire would continue to come.
The tunnel of the mansion is very long and large, and it leads directly to a private garden in the back mountain.
Yan Ruozhen originally wanted Yan Pifeng to take Xiao Ling with him to seek refuge, but Xiao Ling refused to follow and had to stay with her.
In desperation, she let Xiaoling stay with her.
Now in the entire mansion, except for her, Huang Fengmo, Xiao Ling, a few servants who were seriously injured and could not move around, and three loyal personal guards, everyone else had basically evacuated.
After Yan Ruozhen treated the seriously injured servants one by one, he then helped Huang Fengmo to diagnose and treat them.
"Husband, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long." She came in a little tiredly with the medicine box.
"I'm fine." Huang Fengmo's face was very pale, and the dirty clothes with blood stains on his body had not been changed. He stayed like this after moving back, lying on the bed, until now.
"You're just fine. I don't know how many wounds, big and small, there are on your body." Yan Ruocheng quickly put away the medicine box and fetched a basin of water to help him wash away the dust on his face.
He twisted a towel, wiped his face gently, and said, "Thank you for protecting Xiaoling. But you should also take your own safety into consideration. I almost lost you today."
Huang Fengmo held her little hand, put it to her mouth, kissed it, and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
Yan Ruocheng approached him, touched his handsome face with one hand, and said, "Don't do this again. You are more important than my life. Do you know?"
When Huang Fengmo heard her say this, his eyes were full of tenderness, but the sharp pain coming from his legs made him frown again.
"Let's not talk about it for now. I'll help you fix the bones and then talk slowly."
Yan Ruozhen turned to look at his legs and checked the location of the break. With a slight press, Huang Fengmo cried out in pain: "Ah! It hurts! Hiss—!"
"Hold it, let's check it carefully, eh?"
How could he feel pain? Aren't his legs numb?
Yan Ruocheng was overjoyed and pressed it lightly again, and Huang Fengmo screamed again.
"Husband, you can feel your legs now!" she said excitedly.
"I know, I'm in a lot of pain now." Huang Fengmo said with a bit of laughter and tears. He didn't know whether to be happy or sad, but it happened that he only regained consciousness after he broke the bones in both legs.
"I'll give you anesthesia and then slowly cut the bones." Yan Ruocheng was extremely happy. This time it was really a blessing in disguise.
An hour later, the bones in Huang Fengmo's legs were straightened out, and two straight and thick plaster legs were put on, leaving only a few toes exposed. The plaster was placed all the way from his pelvis to his back. He was almost half a plaster man.
Huang Fengmo asked curiously: "Why didn't you help me use a splint to bandage it, but you used Xian Jianlu's strange method?"
"If you use Brother Xian's method to fix the bones, the bones will be safer. Your legs have just regained feeling. Of course, the waist to the legs must be protected with the strongest method. If fixed with traditional wooden boards, it will be easy to
Movement will cause irresistible damage. Plaster is a material that can be fixed better." Yan Ruozhen gently touched his plaster leg and explained.
Huang Fengmo just felt that he looked quite embarrassed now that he was wearing a plaster.
"Okay, after the plaster is dry, you can sit in the wheelchair. I'm cooking medicine outside. If you need anything, just shout and I'll come in right away."
"OK."
Yan Ruocheng kissed his forehead and went out.
"Mother, these pots of medicine have been decoctioned for an hour. Just now, the guard brother helped pour a bowl to drink. He also mixed some water into it." Xiao Ling was responsible for watching the decoction here.
"You're so good! You can take a rest and let mother take care of the rest." Yan Ruocheng touched his head and said with a smile.
Xiaoling hurriedly took her big hand and said, "Mom, come here too. Your hands and feet are also injured, I will help you heal them."
As he said that, he opened the backup medicine box and took out the disinfectant wine and Jinchuang ointment.
"Mom, come here, let me disinfect it for you first."
"good."
Yan Ruozhen had already cleaned his wound and applied some simple herbs.
Xiaoling carefully used a small wooden tube to peel apart the herbs, and then helped her disinfect them.
Yan Ruocheng was very happy, but when Xiaoling poured disinfectant on her wound, the pain made her squeeze out tears.
"Mom, are you so happy that you want to cry?" Xiaoling asked.
Yan Ruozhen nodded and said, "Yes, I feel so happy that I want to cry. Xiaoling, the disinfection is ready. Hurry up and apply the medicine."
"OK."
After Xiao Ling's clumsy handling, the wound was finally bandaged.
Yan Ruocheng blew on her bandaged hands, which were stinging, and said, "Xiao Ling's bandage looks so good."
Xiaoling leaned happily in her arms and said proudly: "When I grow up in the future, my medical skills will definitely be better than mine. When the time comes, mom, you don't have to worry about any injuries, I'm here."
"
Yan Ruozhen said in a dumbfounded voice: "Okay, okay. With Xiaoling here, mother is not afraid of anything."
The artillery fire lasted until night and there was no more sound.
In the palace a few hours ago, Yan Rongyan had led the imperial army to regain control of the palace's security and eliminate all the rebellious guards.
The entire palace returned to a quiet state. On the hills surrounding Phoenix City, the shadow guards rushed to the hilltops. The enemy had already evacuated.
Huan came to report: "No one was found on the top of the mountain, only traces of artillery fire were left."
"Damn it, you ran away so fast!" Huang Chenling slapped the desk angrily.
"They escaped quickly, but how to transport those cannons? The heavy cannons weigh at least two hundred kilograms. There is no reason why they would not leave traces of movement on the ground." Huanye felt confused.
"Maybe they no longer use heavy artillery fire. Huan, see if you can invade those Western ships on the coast." Huang Chenling said.
Huan shook his head and said: "Those Western ships have left the coast and entered the northern part of the sea. The wind and waves are so strong that we can't get through in a small boat."
"Then you stay near the coast first. If there is any movement, come back and report immediately." Huang Chenling ordered.
"Yes." Huan said and went out to do errands.
In the queen's palace, Huang Fan'er was bandaged like a mummy and lying on the big bed.
"Ah, open your mouth, it's not hot anymore, you can drink." Wang Xiulin was feeding him the soup.
Huang Fan'er survived the catastrophe. However, his hands, feet, and other parts of his body were fractured. He had to lie down for at least half a year before he could move.
He opened his mouth obediently and allowed Wang Xiulin to feed the medicine.
"Well, be good." Wang Xiulin wiped his mouth for him. She remembered that Huang Fan'er told her at a critical moment that if there was an afterlife, he hoped to meet her again. With understanding in her heart, it was natural
He was secretly in love with her. It turned out that he was so charming. He was very proud of his beauty.
Huang Fan'er wondered in her mind whether she heard clearly what he said sincerely at the critical moment. If she heard clearly, why didn't she react at all?
After taking the medicine, Wang Xiulin asked with concern: "Do you still feel any pain?" Staring at the bandages all over his body, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"There's no pain anywhere, I'm fine." Huang Fan'er said with a slightly hoarse voice.
"Would you like some water?" Wang Xiulin heard his hoarse voice and thought he must be thirsty.
"No, I don't want to drink." Huang Fan'er was afraid that he would drink too much water, so he wanted to take a pee, but now, it would be very troublesome.
"Okay, then you can rest. I'm next door. If you need anything, just call and I'll come over. You don't have to wait for the next life. We can meet each other well now."
After Huang Fan'er heard this, he was a little dazed. It turned out that she heard clearly.
After Wang Xiulin covered him with the quilt, he slowly left. His location was only one door away from Wang Xiulin's bedroom. It was convenient for Wang Xiulin to go and take care of him personally. From the moment he risked his life to save her, she didn't want to go back.
Treat him badly.
At night, Yan Ruocheng was mysteriously brought into the palace by Huan and met Huang Chenling.
Huang Chenling was already waiting for her arrival on the platform.
"Chen Ling."
"Ruozhao."
Both of them strode towards each other.
"Are you hurt?"
They asked this question in unison.
"I don't."
"I'm fine too."
Huang Chenling saw her bandaged hands, held them gently and said, "You still said no. Your hands are injured like this. Let me see where you are injured?"
"It's just an exaggerated bandage. Xiaoling helped me bandage it. It's a small injury, not painful." Yan Ruocheng explained easily.
Huang Chenling reached out to touch her face, and said with some heartache: "Fortunately, you are okay. If something happened to you, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life."
"Fool, this is none of your business. It was those Westerners who opened fire into the city for no reason. You shouldn't let them go. You must avenge the people in the city," Yan Ruocheng said.
"I'm afraid that the matter is not over yet. This is just the beginning. You can't stay in the city. If you go back tonight, you will escape with the emperor brother to the city on the other side of the border. There is going to be a war in this city." Huang Chen
Ling said.
"What about you? Do you want to stay here?" Yan Ruocheng asked worriedly.
"I am the king of a country. It is my duty to defend this city. I cannot leave." Huang Chenling sighed.
"So what if you are the king of a country? Now we are talking about a war. No one knows that the target of the artillery fire is the imperial city. You are still stupidly standing here and being beaten by them. Don't you know how to hide? Don't you understand that a soldier never tires of deceit?
"Yan Ruocheng said instructing like an old Jianghu.
Huang Chenling was amused by her and said with a smile: "Hahaha, when did you learn the art of war and so on? And you still say it so funny."
"Don't laugh, I'm serious. You really can't stay in the palace. It will be very dangerous if the cannonballs fly around like they did during the day." Yan Ruocheng slapped his chest angrily and said
.
"Have you forgotten that there are many secret passages in the palace? Whenever a cannonball flies over, I will hide in the secret passage. It will be safe this way. Don't worry so much." Huang Chenling patted her head lovingly.
Yan Ruozhen put her head on his chest and said, "I almost lost Your Highness today. You even told me with a playful smile that you don't have to worry. Do you know that I thought I might be bombed to death today?"
