Then, he opened his mouth wide and spat out a large mouthful of black blood.

My eyes finally opened.

"The prince is awake, the prince is finally awake!"

The little guard screamed with excitement, and everyone else was very happy.

Yang Ruoqing stood up and stood aside, raising her sleeves to wipe the hot sweat from her forehead.

Injecting this kind of needle takes too much energy, it's almost more tiring than a fight.

My hands are tired, my eyes are tired, and my heart is even more tired.

"My lord, how do you feel now?"

Adjutant Zhou asked nervously.

After Prince Nan coughed a few times, he drank some water and his breathing gradually became steady.

He raised his hand and waved gently towards Adjutant Zhou, but his eyes passed over the people in front of him and fell on Yang Ruoqing here.

"Mrs. Luo, thank you for saving my king!" he said.

Yang Ruoqing was wiping her hands and was startled when she heard this.

Wasn't the prince unconscious before? How do you know...

Prince Nan seemed to understand what Yang Ruoqing was muttering in her heart, and forced out a weak smile.

"I was indeed in a coma before, but later I gained some consciousness and heard your conversation. I knew it was you who was giving me acupuncture treatment."

It turns out that this is what happened, Yang Ruoqing suddenly realized.

She smiled faintly and walked forward.

"Since the prince suffered internal injuries, why didn't he tell him before?" she asked.

No wonder I thought he looked very bad when I saw the webpage earlier.

But when I asked him about his condition, he said everything was fine and a little skin injury was not a problem.

So she didn't ask further.

Now, facing her questioning again, Prince Nan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Injuries like this were commonplace when I accompanied the Holy Emperor on his military expeditions."

"I originally thought that if I could eat and sleep, it would be fine if I could recuperate for one night."

"I didn't expect...Hey, it seems that I am really old!" Prince Nan sighed again.

On the side, Adjutant Zhou advised: "Your Majesty, please don't say these words. In the eyes of your subordinates, Your Majesty, you are just as strong and young as you are..."

Prince Nan waved his hand, "I know my own body well. Adjutant Zhou, please stop comforting me."

"Furthermore, with the loss of annual rings, we age naturally. This is the rule of heaven, and no one can change it. I am just a mere mortal, so let's just grow old!"

Adjutant Zhou was speechless and didn't know how to comfort him.

Looking for help, he subconsciously turned to Yang Ruoqing.

Seeing Adjutant Zhou's eyes, Yang Ruoqing understood that he wanted her to say something to make Prince Nan happy.

"I really admire Prince Nan for having such an easy-going mind." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.

"But my lord, although the congestion in your body has been discharged, your vitality has been depleted."

"When you return to Licheng, remember to ask the military doctor or the doctor in the mansion to prescribe some mild medicine to nourish Qi and strengthen your body. Take more rest and pay attention to your health." She warned.

Prince Nan listened carefully and finally smiled gratefully.

"My life is thanks to Madam Luo."

"As long as I can return to Licheng alive this time, the King of Japan will definitely repay Madam Luo for this life-saving kindness!" Prince Nan said.

Yang Ruoqing curled her lips and said, "Saving the prince is also saving myself."

"I said that the prince and I are now grasshoppers on a rope. There is no need to be polite, prince."

Prince Nan nodded and looked up at the deep dusk at the entrance of the cave.

"I hope the reinforcements can arrive on time to rescue us. Otherwise, every extra day we are trapped in the mountains will make our chances of going back even slimmer!" he said.

Yang Ruoqing didn't say anything, it was indeed the case.

Adjutant Zhou seemed to have remembered something and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I feel something is not right."

"What's wrong?" Prince Nan asked.

Adjutant Zhou said: "We have been trapped in the mountain for a day and a night. The bandits from the Black Lotus Sect were chasing us up the mountain and launched several small-scale attacks on the mountain."

"After being blocked by us, they stopped making any moves."

"Could it be that they knew that Wuling Mountain was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so they gave up and retreated?" Adjutant Zhou asked.

Prince Nan said without hesitation: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"They tried their best to sneak into Licheng, assassinate the imperial envoy, and caused so many things. They can't just retreat so easily!"

"Since they didn't retreat, where are they?" Adjutant Zhou asked again.

"We can't waste it on the mountain while they waste it at the bottom of the mountain, right? This makes no sense!" Adjutant Zhou said again.

"Furthermore, even if they intercept our request for help, they should have thought that if there is no response from us in Licheng for a long time, they will definitely send follow-up troops to respond."

"Aren't they afraid of being ripped off?" Adjutant Zhou asked again.

Prince Nan was also confused about this.

"Mrs. Luo, what do you think about this matter?"

He suddenly raised his head and cast his gaze on Yang Ruoqing in front of him.

"Mrs. Luo, you are so resourceful and resourceful. In just half a day with you, you have already amazed me again and again."

"I would like to hear your thoughts on this matter."

Facing Prince Nan's sincere inquiry, Yang Ruoqing frowned slightly, with a thoughtful look on her face.

"In my opinion, the other party has not taken any action all day and night, and it is not that they gave up voluntarily due to fear of difficulties."

"There is a local saying in our family that when the duck is cooked, don't let it fly. When the fat reaches your mouth, don't let it fall."

"The opponent has not moved, so he must be thinking of an offensive strategy."

"Once the strategy is decided, they will launch a crazy attack on us!" Yang Ruoqing said.

The atmosphere in the cave suddenly dropped a bit.

Prince Nan added: "This mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If they want to carry out a large-scale and complete attack, they must mobilize more troops from the rear."

"Their rear is in the southern barbarian territory. It is not an easy task to mobilize a large number of troops to attack the mountain."

"Our reinforcements have already arrived before their troops arrived," Prince Nan said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "My lord, your analysis also makes sense."

"I have some guesses right now, but I'm not sure yet," she continued.

"Well, Your Majesty, please let me go back and think about it. Your Majesty, your body is damaged, so it is not appropriate to work too hard at this time."

"You go to sleep first, and I will come over to discuss it with you, Prince, in the morning. Is that possible?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Because looking at Prince Nan’s mental state, it’s very bad.

If she continued to stay up late talking like this, she would fall ill and be unable to get up, and her needle would be in vain.

Fortunately, Prince Nan listened to Yang Ruoqing's suggestion and nodded: "I'm too anxious to eat hot tofu, so you should all go back and recuperate. There will definitely be a tough battle to fight next! Let's all disperse!"
