We agreed that I would be married off to a short-lived general, but why is my husband so powerful?

As soon as Dr. Li said this, everyone's expression changed immediately.

If the food and drinks are fine, it can be said that they were eaten, so the test won't detect anything.

But if this medicine is ingested, it can't be completely undetectable, right?

Therefore, Scholar Cai is truly...

The onlookers were all shocked.

It turns out that Scholar Cai was gay!

Everyone couldn't help but recall that Cai Zhixing had been frequently inviting scholars to his home these days, and suddenly it all became clear.

The Cai family didn't know what to say.

Wen Qingci immediately ran out of the Cai family with her maid.

This medicine was a secret remedy obtained by the Chen family. It was colorless and odorless. Once the medicine was taken, as long as sexual intercourse was performed, the body would be exactly the same as that of an ordinary person, and it would be impossible to detect whether there had been any poisoning by taking the pulse.

As for the method of administering the medicine.

Wen Qingci had smeared the medicine on the chopsticks the two of them were using beforehand.

Once Sister-in-law Cai had prepared the meal, all she had to do was add a pair of chopsticks, and the matter was settled.

After they finished their meal, the medicine on the chopsticks was completely gone.

Moreover, Cai Zhixing did not show the chopsticks to Doctor Li at all.

Therefore, no matter how many times Cai Zhixing explained that he was not gay, no one would believe him.

Wen Qingci was determined to leave, and the Cai family couldn't stop her.

They didn't dare to force people to stay at home.

And so, Wen Qingci returned to her parents' home that very day.

On the very day Wen Qingci returned to her parents' home, Madam Chen sent a nanny to collect the divorce papers.

Although Tsai Chih-hsing was unwilling, he couldn't fight city hall, and since he was the one at fault, he naturally had no right to disagree.

Wen Qingci quietly divorced and returned to her parents' home.

However, just when she thought that in this life, Yue Lingyuan had driven the barbarians back to their homeland and dared not invade again, news came from the border.

"Hey, have you heard? General Yue was defeated by a surprise attack from the barbarians on the grasslands. Of his 30,000 soldiers, he only brought back less than a thousand. The cities he had just captured were all lost."

"What's this? I've heard that the Tatars have rallied various tribes to launch a massive attack on our Great Jin Dynasty. They're coming on strong, and I'm afraid this time they're serious..."

"General Yue is brave and skilled in battle. What does it matter if he suffers one defeat? We'll drive the barbarians back to their homeland again."

"They even drove the barbarians back to their homeland! I heard that General Yue was seriously injured this time and is still unconscious! I wonder if General Yue can withstand the barbarian attack."

In the teahouse, some idle men drinking tea were discussing the hottest news in the capital over the past two days.

Wen Qingci had just come out for a stroll to clear her head. As soon as she stepped into the teahouse, she overheard the conversation of several people, and her face immediately turned pale.

After the divorce, she didn't want to see anyone and stayed in the courtyard where she lived before she got married.

She stayed in the courtyard for several days in a row, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, so she came out for a stroll. But to her surprise, she heard such news as soon as she entered the door.

She wanted to turn back immediately and ask her father about the situation at the border, but then she realized that her father wouldn't be there if she went back now, so she decided to find out some information first before going back.

Yancheng, a thousand miles away.

The atmosphere in the entire military camp was unusually gloomy.

Of the 30,000 men who went out, less than a thousand wounded soldiers returned.

This was an outcome that no one had ever dreamed of.

Before setting off, everyone was full of vigor and high spirits.

When they returned, they all looked like refugees, disheveled and wretched. If it weren't for their armor, they would have been mistaken for beggars at first glance.

Even as a commander, Yue Lingyuan wasn't much better off than the soldiers.

Seeing the few people who had returned in scattered numbers, everyone was shocked and saddened.

As a military doctor, Wen Rushi did not immerse herself in grief like everyone else. As soon as everyone returned, she joined the other military doctors in treating the wounded soldiers.

Yue Lingyuan was the most seriously injured.

He mustered his last breath and led his men back to the camp before collapsing.

The person immediately lost consciousness.

He had internal injuries, external injuries, and many burns from explosives.

Of course, the most serious injury is to the dantian.

I don't know what he did.

The injury to the dantian is the most troublesome, but there's no rush.

Looking at the other soldiers, each of them had varying degrees of blast injuries.

Hearing this, he did not understand.

Could it be that those barbarians also invented explosives and used them on the battlefield?

However, Wen Rushi had no time to think about these things.

After feeding Yue Lingyuan his medicine and treating his injuries, Wen Rushi immediately began treating the other wounded soldiers.

As for the injury in his dantian, we can only think of a solution later.

After finishing with the more seriously injured soldiers, Wen Rushi noticed Yue Lingshan standing next to her.

When Wen Rushi saw Yue Lingshan, she almost didn't recognize her, and then she felt a pang of heartache.

This sister-in-law suffered terribly.

Yue Lingshan had lost a lot of weight, and her face was injured. Bloodstained bandages were tied around her face, obscuring the wounds.

She was much quieter than before she left.

Wen Rushi removed the cloth from her face, revealing the scars underneath.

The scar was so deep that the bone was visible, and it was as long as a person, covering half of his face.

Wen Rushi reapplied the medicine to her.

"I'll make you some scar-removing medicine later, I guarantee it won't leave any scars," Wen Rushi said, reassuring her because she was worried about her face getting scars.

Yue Lingshan's blank face finally showed some expression.

She forced a smile, an expression that suggested she wanted to laugh but couldn't. "Um, how's my older brother?"

He clearly didn't care much about that face.

This trip deep into the grasslands was fraught with danger, and she was able to return only because her sister-in-law gave her the martial arts technique that saved her life.

What's a scar?

"It's alright, you'll be fine after taking my medicine and resting for a couple of days."

After applying the medicine, Wen Rushi took her pulse again. "I'll make you some pills to nourish you later."

Those who returned were all very weak, and they were all starving.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

"You're welcome. Go and rest first, we'll talk again later." Wen Ru didn't ask anything.

Every wounded soldier who returned was saved by the military doctors.

But those who lost their hands and legs can't get them back.

Wen Rushi felt a little sad seeing so many faces missing from the military camp.

Before they returned, although the 30,000 soldiers were not in the camp, they did not know that they would not be able to return, so they did not feel anything.

But looking at it now, my feelings are completely different.

Xiang Ying also suffered a serious injury this time.

Not only was she seriously injured, but the women's army she led was almost completely wiped out.

Of the thousand-strong women's army, fewer than ten returned.

When Wen Rushi finished treating the last wounded soldier and came out of the tent, it was already completely dark.

After nightfall, the military camp was quiet.

The military camp is usually quiet at night, but tonight it was unusually quiet, so quiet that it left one feeling empty inside.

Wen Rushi did not return to her own tent, but went to Yue Lingyuan's tent again.

After Yue Lingyuan's injuries were treated, they were no longer life-threatening, but the injury to his dantian was somewhat troublesome.

The injury was caused by the depletion of spiritual energy and the forceful extraction of spiritual energy from the dantian.

Without any miraculous medicine, this kind of injury can only be treated by slowly nourishing the dantian with spiritual energy.

However, the spiritual energy here is thin, which is not enough to nourish the dantian.
