The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy

Chapter 918 Signs
Lin Kangle also felt that what Doctor Hong said made sense. How could the life of the deposed prince be compared with that of Bai Qingyan who was about to ascend the throne? He nodded and said, “Okay! I’ll take a military doctor to check him out first. Whether he can survive depends on his fate! Many of our brothers in the army have died or been injured in the fight against fires…”
Before Lin Kangle could finish, Doctor Hong’s expression turned solemn: “Have they been sent back to the wounded camp? Are there many burn victims?”
Before Lin Kangle could answer, Doctor Hong hurried away with his medicine box: “Forget it, I’ll go take a look…”
Seeing Doctor Hong hurriedly leaving with his medicine box on his back, Lin Kangle reached out his hand to call Doctor Hong, but in the end he pursed his lips and looked at Shen Tianzhi: “Aren’t you… going to stay here to guard His Majesty?”
Shen Tianzhi raised his hand and patted Lin Kangle’s shoulder. It was just that Doctor Hong didn’t want to waste his energy on the deposed prince of the Jin Dynasty, but the soldiers felt differently in the eyes of an old military doctor like Doctor Hong.
Shen Tianzhi looked at the moon obscured by dark clouds, vaguely aware of the moisture in the wind, and a look of joy appeared between his brows… It looked like it was going to rain.
The candle in the big tent was almost burned out, and it was so quiet that only the faint sounds of wind caressing the grass and trees and the low chirping of night insects could be heard around.
Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinxiu cleaned the Grand Princess’s face and body.
The eldest princess was determined to die, so the clothes she wore were very exquisite, so there was no need to worry about changing them.
The wind outside the big tent was getting stronger and stronger, and the military tent was rustling. Soon… crackling rain began to fall.
The people who were settled behind the military camp were watching the fire in Luohong City, thinking that their homes were going to be burned down, and they were all in tears. When the heavy rain came, the people came out of their tents one after another, and some even knelt on the ground and cried loudly, thanking God for finally sending rain to leave them a way to survive.
The flames rising into the sky in Luohong City dodged left and right, but could not escape the fine and dense raindrops like broken beads. Fire met water and produced steam. From afar, Luohong City was filled with mist, as if it was a fairy city shrouded in fairy air in the clouds.
Under the high steps of Luohong Tower, Hongqiao was thrown to the sides by Bai Jinxiu… and was searching for the corpse of King Liang in the pile of dead bodies that were half burned by fire. Her body was charred black, and her clothes were full of black holes that were burned by sparks and then extinguished.
Her hands were covered with blood blisters from the burning fire, and they were also worn out… bleeding, but she still endured the great pain and sweat all over her body and kept searching: “Your Majesty… Your Majesty!”
When the heavy rain came, the surroundings were filled with hot air that could steam people. Hongqiao felt dizzy and had difficulty breathing, but she still couldn’t find King Liang!
She didn’t know if some loyal subordinates had already escaped with the King of Liang, but she really couldn’t hold on any longer…
As Hongqiao turned over and over, everything in front of her eyes started to go dark and she suddenly fell down.
I can’t hold on any longer…
She moved her fingers, but ultimately failed to support herself.
“Here! There’s a girl here who hasn’t evacuated yet! She’s still breathing!”
Before Hongqiao lost consciousness completely, she heard someone shouting loudly. She vaguely saw a soldier in military uniform, but then everything went dark and she knew nothing.
Heavy rain fell all night long. Although the fire was not completely extinguished, the flames that shot up into the sky yesterday were no longer there. Now there was only a faint glow of fire on the high mountain behind Luo Honglou. Lin Kangle had already sent several groups of soldiers up the mountain again to put out the flames that had not yet been extinguished.
It was already noon, and a dazzling light shone through the gaps in the thick clouds in the sky, with the edges of the clouds outlined in gold…
Although it hasn’t completely cleared up yet, there are already signs of a sunny day.
The puddles that could be seen everywhere in Luohong City reflected the slowly moving dark clouds in the sky and the golden light shining through the clouds. From time to time, they were crushed by the boots of the Great Zhou soldiers and trampled by the horses’ hooves.
Some soldiers were ordered to check one by one and search the city for the remnants of the previous dynasty who had not yet escaped from the city.
There were also soldiers who checked the people’s homes one by one to see if they were still habitable. The burned-down houses were registered according to Lin Kangle’s instructions, and the people would be reassigned accommodation when the time came.
Lin Kangle’s subordinates confirmed that the city was safe and came to report to Lin Kangle. Lin Kangle was unsure whether he should allow the people who were eager to go home to investigate their losses to enter the city, so he hurriedly ran towards Bai Qingyan’s tent in the mud.
Outside the big tent, Shen Tianzhi had been guarding for a whole night. There was no movement from inside the tent, and Shen Tianzhi was very worried.
Lin Kangle stepped forward, bowed to Shen Tianzhi, whose chin was covered with stubble, and glanced into the tent and asked in a low voice, “How is His Majesty?”
“No movement, but… nothing should happen!” Shen Tianzhi thought of the deposed crown prince of the Jin Dynasty, and asked Lin Kangle, “How is the deposed crown prince of the Jin Dynasty? Is he dead?”
When Lin Kangle was mentioned, his face was filled with gloom: “He didn’t die. How could he be so lucky… He was saved even though he lost so much blood! I even specifically told the military doctor not to be too attentive and just do a casual job! Who knew he would actually survive! But… I think he will have to rely on medicine bottles in the future.”
“Oh…” Shen Tianzhi’s tone was regretful. If the deposed prince died, Qin Shangzhi, whom Bai Qingyan had always wanted to recruit, would be able to pledge allegiance to Bai Qingyan smoothly. Shen Tianzhi pursed his lips and asked again, “Where is Qin Shangzhi? Didn’t he want to see His Majesty?”
Lin Kangle waved his hands: “I don’t know what kind of magic potion the former deposed prince gave Qin Shangzhi. Qin Shangzhi takes care of the former deposed prince just like he takes care of his own father! I think… it’s better not to think about it. Qin Shangzhi will definitely not submit to Your Majesty. If I had known… I would not have brought him back and killed them all with one knife! It would have saved me trouble.”
The reason why Lin Kangle brought the person back last night was entirely for Qin Shangzhi’s sake…
Before entering the city yesterday, Bai Qingyan specifically called Qin Shangzhi out of the city for a detailed talk. It seemed that he wanted to subdue Qin Shangzhi very much, but he did not expect that the deposed prince could survive after being stabbed in the chest.
“The Grand Princess must be dead…” Lin Kangle sighed and held the hilt of the sword at his waist with one hand, “The coronation ceremony will be held soon. Your Majesty should set off to return to the capital city. Firstly… the Grand Princess cannot be delayed here, and secondly… Your Majesty needs to make preparations before returning! Otherwise… you go in and talk to His Majesty now. I will lead the soldiers to stay and help the people return to the city, and you will escort His Majesty back to the capital city first?”
Shen Tianzhi glanced sideways, looking at Lin Kangle with a smile on his face. This man was quite good at making arrangements. The Grand Princess was the grandmother who brought Bai Qingyan up since childhood, and she had a special relationship with Bai Qingyan. At this time… the Grand Princess was gone, and Bai Qingyan was very sad… He went into the big tent to tell Bai Qingyan all this?
