Chapter 919 - 916: Signs
Lin Kangle also felt that Doctor Hong’s words made sense. How could the life of the deposed Crown Prince compare to Bai Qingyan, who was about to be crowned? He nodded, "Alright! I’ll first take a military doctor over to check on him. Whether he lives or not is up to fate! Many brothers in our army died or were injured trying to put out the fire..."
Before Lin Kangle could finish speaking, Doctor Hong’s expression became solemn: "Were the injured soldiers sent back to the camp? Are there many burn victims?"
Lin Kangle hadn’t yet answered before Doctor Hong quickly left with his medicine chest: "Forget it, I’ll go take a look..."
Watching Doctor Hong hurry away carrying his medicine chest, Lin Kangle reached out to call after him but ended up pressing his lips together and looked towards Shen Tianzhi: "Aren’t we supposed to be guarding His Majesty here?"
Shen Tianzhi patted Lin Kangle’s shoulder. It was just that Doctor Hong didn’t want to waste his energy on the deposed Crown Prince of the Jin Dynasty, but soldiers mattered differently in the heart of a seasoned military doctor like Doctor Hong.
Shen Tianzhi gazed at the moon obscured by dark clouds, vaguely sensing that the wind carried moisture. A hint of joy appeared in his eyes... It seemed it was going to rain.
Inside the tent, the candle tears had almost entirely burned out, and the silence was broken only by the faint sound of the wind brushing against the grass and trees, and the low chirping of night insects.
Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinxiu were washing the face and wiping the body of the Eldest Princess.
The Eldest Princess had dressed meticulously, knowing she faced certain death, so there was no need to change into other clothes.
Outside the tent, the wind grew stronger and the army tent rustled loudly. Before long... the rain began to fall, pitter-pattering.
