Chapter 119 -119 She Saved Someone, Yet She Faces Punishment
Everyone was startled, and Skinny Monkey hurriedly asked, “Which female prisoner?”
“I don’t know. When asked her name, she was in so much pain she couldn’t speak. She tried to climb the wall to escape, but ended up sliding off the tree and got a piece of broken wood stabbed into her thigh!”
This scared the women terribly, and they all clung closely to Xiang Ying.
Skinny Monkey frowned, “What should we do? We don’t have a Military Doctor with us right now, should we go to the city to invite a doctor?”
Acid Scholar hesitated over this issue.
“To invite a doctor for a female prisoner, we need to consult the Military Supervisor’s opinion.”
“The Military Supervisor is not here today! He went to the Great General as new soldiers and prisoners are joining the troops.”
Xiang Ying thought for a moment and then stood up, “Take me to see.”
The women all looked towards her.
Skinny Monkey slapped his forehead, “I almost forgot, sister-in-law can even cure the plague, so this minor injury is nothing to her.”
Saying this, Acid Scholar quickly walked towards the back of the Yuelao Temple with Xiang Ying, and the curious others followed them as well.
Originally, the three youngest also wanted to accompany them, but Xiang Ying instructed Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi to keep an eye on them.
The only one from the women’s group not to return was Third Miss Chu, and Xiang Ying guessed she was likely the injured one.
Indeed, as Xiang Ying suspected, the person impaled by the tree branch was Third Miss Chu.
When everyone saw her injured state, the scene was filled with nothing but intermittent gasps.
She jumped off the wall and fell right onto a broken tree.
The forked trunk pierced through her thigh, blood gushing out, and though she was leaning against the trunk, she was already half-dead.
Her face was completely pale as paper.
Leaving her any longer, she’d probably die.
Many of the women with weak hearts, upon seeing this scene, cried and ran afar.
Others went nearby to dry heave.
Several with stronger courage, like Xiang Ying, had already rolled up their sleeves.
“Skinny Monkey, Scholar, come help, let’s get her down from the tree first.”
Acid Scholar repeatedly waved his hands, “No, no, she screams in pain whenever I try to move her.”
Xiang Ying drew the knife from her waist, “Of course it hurts if you just move her, so cut off the branch sticking in her leg, then move her down.”
She threw the knife over, and Acid Scholar, with a troubled expression, caught it.
As he approached, Third Miss Chu, barely alive, let out a mournful scream.
The sound was so harrowing that it was unbearable to listen.
Skinny Monkey touched his head, “Don’t scream anymore, my scalp is tingling. Sister-in-law is trying to save you!”
Third Miss Chu weakly said, “Let me die; just let me die…”
Xiang Ying walked over to her, assessed her injury.
“Talk less, and you have a better chance of surviving.”
She turned her head away and waved her hand decisively, “Scholar, do it, chop off the branch.”
Acid Scholar promptly complied.
Fortunately, the wooden branch lodged in Third Miss Chu’s leg was only as thick as two fingers put together.
Once chopped off, Third Miss Chu slid rapidly from the tree, and although Skinny Monkey caught her, she couldn’t help but let out a harrowing scream.
The braver women who had stayed finally couldn’t bear it anymore.
Only Lin Lingxiang and Xiang Qianqian remained.
Xiang Qianqian was primarily staying because her legs turned weak from the screams, and she couldn’t escape for a moment, otherwise she would have left too.
“Big sister, you, you, don’t push yourself too hard, her flesh is showing,” Xiang Qianqian stammered, terrified.
However, Xiang Ying ignored her and simply and deftly tore open Third Miss Chu’s underpants to clear the area around the wound.
Suddenly, Third Miss Chu, using all her strength, pleaded with Xiang Ying.

“Elder Princess… let me die with some dignity…”
She used the remainder of her strength to pull down her skirt a bit.
That was when Xiang Ying realized that Skinny Monkey and the others were still standing around.
She waved her hand: “Don’t just stand there, go find some cloth for me, I need to remove the branch from her leg right here.”
Lin Lingxiang stepped forward: “Elder Princess, is there anything I can help with?”
Xiang Ying pondered for a moment: “You go borrow some needles and thread from a nun.”
Everyone got busy, and Xiang Qianqian, seeing the blood all over the ground and the flesh on Third Miss Chu’s leg, was so frightened that she used her hands to crawl away.
Xiang Ying looked at her retreating figure and suddenly found it comically absurd.
At that moment, someone placed something warm in her hand.
Xiang Ying looked down and saw that it was an earring handed over by Third Miss Chu.
It was bloody, the color indiscernible, only recognizable as a ruyi-shaped and exquisitely carved.
This must be the only valuable item on her body, and it is unknown how she managed to hide it so well that it escaped the initial search.
“Elder Princess, if you encounter my family… please tell them, I, I didn’t suffer in death,” Third Miss Chu said as tears slid down from her eyes.
Xiang Ying returned the earring to her.
“You tell them yourself, I don’t know your family.”
“My father… my father is the Sacrificial Officer at the Imperial College.”
“Then I will save you, and when the time comes, you tell them yourself. You were severely injured, but you got through it. I believe they will be proud of you.”
Third Miss Chu cried even harder, her body trembling.
“I won’t make it.”
Xiang Ying didn’t want to hear anymore of her negative talk, so she stuffed her handkerchief into her mouth.
There was no one around, she covered Third Miss Chu’s eyes and casually took out a sedative from her space.
“Have a good sleep, and when you wake up, everything will be fine.”
As she spoke, as the sedative took effect, Third Miss Chu’s breathing became steady.
After putting away the syringe, Skinny Monkey and others came back with cloth, hung it around with wooden branches, and enclosed Xiang Ying and the others inside.
Meanwhile, Lin Lingxiang returned too.
“The nun said she only has needles, no thread.”
“It’s alright, it’s enough,” Xiang Ying thought, as it was only meant for show anyway.
She was to stitch Third Miss Chu’s wound, even if using thread, she would use the biodegradable medical thread from her space.
Xiang Ying asked Lin Lingxiang to also stand guard outside.
She then started treating Third Miss Chu’s wound.
The biggest trouble wasn’t the hole in her thigh, but rather the many wooden splinters in her leg.
Xiang Ying took out iodine from her space to rinse it, then disinfected with alcohol.
Using tweezers, she meticulously removed the splinters one by one.
After stitching up, she applied hemostatic agents and growth-promoting plaster, and then bandaged her leg.
After all was done, Xiang Ying looked up, and it was almost dark.
No wonder she felt it was getting harder to see.
Skinny Monkey’s voice came from outside.
“Sister-in-law, are you done? The Military Supervisor has ordered that we must return before dark, otherwise we will be punished.”
“It’s almost done.” Xiang Ying casually put two anti-inflammatory and pain-relief pills into Third Miss Chu’s mouth.
Xiang Ying: “Come in and carry her, be careful not to jolt her.”
The enclosure opened, the ground covered in blood, making even seasoned men like Skinny Monkey and Acid Scholar feel slightly nauseous.
They carried the unconscious Third Miss Chu back, and Lin Lingxiang stepped forward, handing her handkerchief to Xiang Ying.
“Elder Princess, your complexion doesn’t look good.”
Xiang Ying felt a moment of dizziness and blurred vision, but she didn’t take it seriously.
“It’s nothing, just tired. I’ll be fine in a bit.”
As everyone was just getting back to the camp, they found the soldiers bowing their heads in silence, the atmosphere tense and serious.
Supervisor Ke walked over, glanced at the unconscious Third Miss Chu and at Xiang Ying whose skirt was stained with blood.
He pursed his lips: “The Great General has arrived, you really should have informed us when you couldn’t return on time, now the General wants to handle this according to military regulations.”
