What caught his eyes was Shen Jiao's peaceful sleeping face, and Huo Changze's heart softened when he saw her.
"Jiaojiao..."
Huo Changze sat by the bed and called her in a low voice. He wanted to tell her that they would be able to return to the capital soon.
When he returns to the capital, he will formally propose to her. Doesn't she want to be free? He gave it to her. She could do whatever she wanted, as long as she could be with him.
Huo Changze was excited as he thought about their future in his heart. Seeing that Shen Jiao hadn't woken up yet, he laughed and reached out to touch her, "Little lazy pig, wake up quickly."
But Shen Jiao still didn't wake up.
Huo Changze soon realized something was wrong. Even if she was sleeping deeply, she would not wake up after screaming for so long, lying motionless on the bed, like a beautiful lifeless dummy.
"Jiaojiao?"
Huo Changze's initial joy all dissipated. He frowned and kept calling her name.
Still not awake.
Still feeling it was not enough, Huo Changze took Shen Jiao out of the quilt and held her in his arms.
But Shen Jiao seemed to have no bones and collapsed directly into his arms, her head hanging heavily.
If Huo Changze hadn't been able to feel her aura, he might have thought he was holding a corpse.
Bitao on the side was already trembling. Looking at Huo Changze's increasingly gloomy face, she timidly shouted, "General..."
Huo Changze suddenly raised his eyes, and the fierceness in his eyes made Bitao frightened and stopped breathing, "What on earth is going on?"
Bitao was so frightened that she couldn't speak at all. She knelt on the ground and couldn't help but tremble.
So He Qing on the side quickly stepped forward and told everything.
From when Shen Jiao fell ill, she went to see a doctor in the town. The doctor gave Shen Jiao a follow-up consultation and acupuncture, and then when Shen Jiao fell into a coma. When they came to their senses and went to look for the doctor, the place was already empty.
He Qing knelt heavily on the ground and buried his head deeply, "My subordinates failed to take good care of me and let the general punish me."
There was a deathly silence in the air.
He was gone for just a few days, just a few days...
After a long time, Huo Changze spoke hoarsely, "I asked you to stay and take care of her, and that's how you took care of her."
He Qing buried his head deeper.
Huo Changze closed his eyes, knowing that this was not the time to argue with him, so he sent someone to call the military doctor over.
When Lu Xianfeng heard about this, he quickly came over with the military doctor.
While the military doctor was checking her pulse, Huo Changze still held Shen Jiao tightly in his arms. He was afraid that if he didn't stay next to her for a moment, she would disappear like smoke.
The military doctor's expression became more and more solemn, and finally he stood up and stood aside, bending down and hesitantly speaking: "General, I am stupid because of my humble position, and I didn't see anything wrong."
Huo Changze frowned, "What?"
The military doctor said: "The girl's pulse is gentle and she does not seem to have any symptoms of poisoning."
"Then why can't she wake up?"
The military doctor looked embarrassed, "I don't know much about this... humble position."
"waste!"
If Shen Jiao hadn't been in his arms, he would have dragged this useless quack doctor out and chopped him up.
Huo Changze's dark eyes seemed to be filled with ice, "Where are the other military doctors? Call them all over here!"
Soon the room was filled with military doctors. They diagnosed Shen Jiao one after another, but none of them made a diagnosis. The military doctors all stood there with their heads lowered, and were so frightened that they dared not speak out.
Huo Changze closed his eyes and said the harshest words in a calm tone, "If she can't be cured, you won't even be able to live."
All the military doctors immediately knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside, "Why would General Huo be so angry and embarrass these innocent people?"
Huo Changze opened his eyes and stared at the visitor coldly, "What are you doing here?"
Sun Wei smiled cheekily and said, "Of course I'm here to help General Huo solve his problems."
After speaking, he waved outside, and a man walked in from outside.
Sun Wei introduced to Huo Changze: "I came here this time and brought a miracle doctor with me."
"He can cure all diseases in the world. Of course, that includes your...beautiful lady."
Huo Changze looked deeper and looked at Sun Wei without saying anything.
Sun Wei was a little frightened and felt guilty when he saw him, but then he thought about it. He had already gone to the battlefield when Shen Jiao fell ill, and this debt could not be borne by him.
And even if Huo Changze guessed that it was him, so what, she was just a woman with no name and no status. He is the second prince's son, and he has an official title, so Huo Changze can't take action against him easily!
Sun Wei relieved himself for a while and forced a smile, "Of course, if you don't believe it, I can just let him go."
Huo Changze said directly: "What conditions do you have?"
When Sun Wei saw him taking the bait, the smile on his face deepened. He didn't speak, just looked at the people around him.
Huo Changze sneered in his heart, knowing what he was planning. But now he can only do it...
So Huo Changze said: "You all get out."
"General!"
Lu Shanfeng was a little anxious when he heard this. Sun Wei Biju must have used Shen Jiao to threaten the general. So he directly took out the sword from his waist and put it on Sun Wei's neck.
Sun Wei suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He reached out and touched it, and Lu Xianfeng had already cut his skin.
Sun Wei's face suddenly turned ugly, "General Huo, is this how you treat guests?"
"If General Huo doesn't want this doctor to tell me, then why is he wielding a knife and a gun like this?"
Lu Xianfeng was even more angry when he heard what he said and wanted to scold him, but Huo Changze looked over and stopped him.
Huo Changze said coldly: "Get out!"
Lu Xianfeng looked at Sun Wei, then at the unconscious man in the general's arms, and finally gritted his teeth and reluctantly took the sword back.
After everyone had gone out, Sun Wei revealed his intention: "As long as General Huo admits in front of everyone that I led the troops to victory in this battle."
Huo Changze was not surprised when he heard his request. After all, Sun Wei came here with evil intentions and deliberately exposed the grain and grass transportation route.
Don't you just want to suppress him and then further suppress the fourth prince?
Now that he has won, the situation will only be more unfavorable to the second prince. As the second prince, Sun Wei will definitely not be able to sit still.
Huo Changze knew everything in his heart and knew what decision he should make.
But he looked down at Shen Jiao's sleepy face, which was still so fresh and beautiful, as if she would open her eyes and look at him with a smile in the next second, saying that she was pretending to sleep.
You might even get mad at him for being coquettish and ask him why it took him so long to come back.
After a while, Huo Changze heard himself say: "Okay, I promise you."
Military merit is nothing to him, Sun Wei can take it as long as he wants. She was the only one he wanted.
