On this day, Huo Jing stayed in the palace, handling state affairs with the Prime Minister and the two princes.

The Prince of Zhenyuan's Mansion.

Nangong Wu didn't set a bedtime last night and slept until she naturally woke up, so she woke up late this morning.

Li An brought in a basin of hot water. "Your Highness, the Prince said you should rest more. He can handle the affairs of the court."

"Alright!" Nangong Wu believed in her father's abilities.

Since she finished her postpartum confinement, she has been very busy. She went to Jinniu City for a few days and then came back to the news of Nangong Xun's rebellion. She hasn't been able to spend much time with her children.

After she finished her breakfast, she asked the wet nurse to bring all three children over, and she held each of them in her arms.

The child was well taken care of by Granny Feng and the three wet nurses, and his little face was chubby.

Li Zhan led Su Siyan in, "Your Highness, Captain Su has arrived."

Nangong Wu looked up. "Please let him in!"

Su Siyan entered and bowed respectfully, "This humble general greets Your Highness, the Princess!"

"Get up! No need for formalities." Nangong Wu raised her hand slightly.

After he got up, he asked, "Would you be willing to go to the Eastern Camp on the outskirts of Beijing?"

The Dongdaying camp used to be controlled by the Xu family; it could be called the Xu family army.

Following Nangong Xun's rebellion yesterday, officials in the court, as well as those in the army who were loyal to the Xu family and Prince Rui, all jumped out and were uprooted.

The Dongdaying camp is now like a blank sheet of paper; she should send her own people in.

Su Siyan was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately knelt down on one knee, saying, "Thank you for your recommendation, Your Highness."

"Yes, I've already mentioned your assistance in capturing You Zhao in Golden Bull City to His Majesty, and he instructed me to handle it accordingly." Nangong Wu paused for a moment after saying this.

"There's a vacancy at the Eastern Camp, so you'll be assigned there! I'll appoint you as a fifth-rank Huaihua Langjiang. Whether you can rise further depends on your own abilities and fortune."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Su Siyan kowtowed deeply to her. "I will never forget Your Highness's kindness in recognizing and recognizing my talent."

He used to guard the city gate of Jinniu City, and was just a sixth-rank captain. This time, Nangong Wu not only transferred him back to the capital, but also promoted him three ranks, something he never dreamed of before.

"This is what you deserve." Nangong Wu helped him up. "You made a contribution in Jinniu City, and yesterday you also made a great contribution in suppressing the rebels. This is the reward the court gives you."

"It's all because Your Highness thinks highly of this humble general." Su Siyan's eyes reddened. If it weren't for Nangong Wu's support, he wouldn't have had any way to make contributions even if he wanted to.

"Alright! Train hard in the army camp from now on. If you want to make great contributions, I'll take you to the battlefield when there's another war on the border," Nangong Wu said.

Su Siyan was upright and incorruptible, and as a former martial arts champion, he possessed genuine skills. They needed someone like him.

"Your Highness, is this humble general truly capable of going to the battlefield to kill the enemy?" Su Siyan became extremely excited.

He had aspired to serve his country in the military since childhood, longing to one day fight on the battlefield and protect his homeland. This was his long-held ambition. Would it finally come true now?

"You will have the opportunity to go to the battlefield."

Nangong Wu took out her token and handed it to Li Zhan, saying, "Go to the East Camp yourself and make arrangements for him, so that some people won't be so blind."

She knew that Nangong Yi and Nangong Heng, as well as the families of the other young princes, would also send their people into the Eastern Camp. If Li Cheng was not allowed to make this trip, Su Siyan would be ostracized by those people.

"Understood." Li Zhan accepted the token with both hands.

Nangong Wu then instructed Su Siyan, "Remember, you are under the protection of my Zhenyuan Prince's Mansion. If you are bullied by someone who doesn't know their place, come back to me, the Princess."

As for the appointment letter, it will be delivered to you at the military camp by the Ministry of Personnel within two days at the latest.

"This subordinate understands." Su Siyan was very grateful.

He understood her meaning; she wanted him to develop his own power in the Eastern Camp.

"This humble general takes his leave." He bowed to Nangong Wu again, and then left with Li Zhan.

"This Su Siyan is indeed a promising talent, but unfortunately he lacks powerful backing in court, and his potential has been overlooked!" Li An said to Nangong Wu with a smile.

"He's truly fortunate to have met Your Highness!"

Nangong Wu simply smiled when she heard this.

The officials in the imperial court are connected by a network of relationships, forming factions. Whenever an official position becomes vacant, countless people are eyeing it.

Especially for official positions of the third rank and above, the ministers would argue fiercely in court about who should fill the vacancy.

"Have we sent a message to our people? We must find Zhou Shaorong." Nangong Wu thought of Zhou Shaorong.

Even though the person is half-dead, we still have to find them.

"Our people have been searching, and yesterday Li Shuang sent out ten more people," Li An said.

As the two were talking, Feng Wushang arrived.

He comes at this time every day to check the children's pulse.

Li An stepped aside and stood there.

Feng Wushang entered and bowed respectfully, "Your Highness."

"You're here, have a seat." Nangong Wu gestured for him to sit down.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Feng Wushang sat down beside the child's cradle and looked at her face.

"Your Highness, if you don't have anything urgent to attend to today, why don't you treat the scars on your face first?"

"Okay." Nangong Wu nodded; the scars on her face needed to be treated.

"Let's go now!" Nangong Wu stood up first.

She had already placed some of the necessary medications and tools in the left ear chamber beforehand.

Feng Wushang followed her into the left side room.

"In the past few days, I have learned how to use these medical instruments, and I have also memorized the surgical procedures you taught me."

"Okay, then tell me the preoperative assessment again," Nangong Wu said.

"Okay." Feng Wushang took out a notebook he had written and read it to her.

"Alright, let's begin!" Nangong Wu lay down on a treatment table.

Feng Wushang pushed a treatment cart over, put on a mask and a pair of medical gloves, and disinfected all the tools he needed to use.

With everything prepared, the scars on her face were disinfected three times with iodine solution, and then an anesthetic was injected.

After the anesthesia took effect, a needle prick test was used to confirm that her pain had disappeared, and then the course of important nerves and blood vessels was marked.

Nangong Wu taught him all of this, including how to use a dermoscope to examine the nature of scars and how to treat them.

He pulled the light over and designed the incision lines along the edge of the scar.

After doing all that, I brought a mirror for Nangong Wu to see.

Nangong Wu glanced at it and said, "Okay."

Feng Wushang put down the mirror. Before making a move, he looked at the journal again, picked up a No. 15 small round blade, and carefully removed the scar tissue little by little, following the direction of the skin lines.

He had performed this kind of scar removal surgery many times before, but the procedure was not as rigorous as Nangong Wu's. He didn't have these medical instruments, nor such good anesthetic powder, so good that people could not feel any pain at all.
