Chapter 155: Treating Deng Chan Yu

"Madam, do you really believe that Deng Jiu Gong is sincerely defecting to our side?"

"On the way to the Three Mountains Pass military camp, Ao Yifan suddenly said to Madam Yin."

"This..."

"Hearing this, Madam Yin blinked slightly and said: 'Prince Consort, he is a high-ranking commander of the pass, since he has already given his word in person, he shouldn't go back on it, right?'"

'"Hehe, human hearts are the hardest to control; in this world, besides me, Madam, you had better not easily believe others\' so-called promises."'

"Ao Yifan said with a serious expression."

'"Mm, Prince Consort is right; human hearts are hard to grasp; what should we do?"'

"Madam Yin asked."

'"Human hearts are hard to grasp; only benefits are eternal!"'

'"Madam, Marquis Dongbo is now firmly on our side, isn\'t it just because of our support for Jiaoer?"'

'"Marquis Dongbo?"'

'"Suddenly, Madam Yin\'s eyes lit up and she said: \'Exactly, how did I forget this plan? As long as we make Deng Jiu Gong one of our own, he definitely won\'t betray us again! \''

'"Madam, you\'re truly sharp; a hint and you get it!"'

"Ao Yifan said with a relieved expression."

"Deng Jiu Gong walking ahead had no idea that he had already already been schemed against."

"At this moment, he only wanted to save his only daughter; as for other matters, Deng Jiu Gong couldn't think of much else."

……

'"This poison is very potent!"'

"Looking at Deng Chan Yu's wound, Madam Yin couldn't help but frown."

"Hearing this, Deng Jiu Gong's heart tightened and he urged: 'Princess, please be sure to save Chaner!'"

"Without directly responding to Deng Jiu Gong, Madam Yin turned her head to look at Ao Yifan beside her."

'"Prince Consort, what do you think?"'

'"Very big!"'

"Ao Yifan replied instinctively."

'"What?"'

"Everyone blinked slightly, yet they didn't understand the meaning behind Ao Yifan's words."

'"Cough cough"'

"Ao Yifan gave a light cough and said: 'What I mean is, if we don't act in time, the possibility of this general dying is very high!'"

'"Now I understand!"'

"Madam Yin showed a look of sudden realization, thinking to herself: 'Just now, I almost misunderstood the Prince Consort.'"

"Meanwhile, on the other side, Deng Jiu Gong heard a different message."

'"Prince Consort, do you mean you have a way to save Chaner?"'

"Deng Jiu Gong urged anxiously."

'"Indeed, there is a way to save her, but…"'

"Saying this, Ao Yifan showed a hesitant expression."

"Seeing this, Deng Jiu Gong said: 'Prince Consort, if there are any difficulties, please just give your orders; as long as you can save my son, I am willing to pay any price!'"

'"Is that so!"'

"Ao Yifan gave Deng Jiu Gong a deep look, then whispered two sentences into Madam Yin's ear."

"Immediately, Madam Yin nodded, looked at Deng Jiu Gong and said: 'Prince Consort indeed has a way to save Chaner's younger sister, but the treatment method might require removing all of Chaner's younger sister's clothing; I don't know if General Deng is willing to accept this.'"

'"This…"'

"Deng Jiu Gong really wanted to ask: his daughter's wound is only on the abdomen, so why remove all clothing during treatment?"

"In this era, thoughts were not yet as repressed as later times."

"But Deng Chan Yu is ultimately an unmarried lady; if a man sees her naked, how could she ever marry afterward?"

'"Princess, must the Prince Consort personally carry out the treatment method?"'

"Deng Jiu Gong asked cautiously."

'"Of course!"'

"Madam Yin said with an unquestionable expression: 'This treatment method, besides needing a extremely precious celestial medicine, also requires the Prince Consort's unique technique, which outsiders cannot accomplish.'"

"Hearing this, Deng Jiu Gong's eyes flashed with a hint of struggle."

"However, seeing his daughter's wound grow increasingly severe, he finally gritted his teeth and bowed to Ao Yifan, saying: 'Prince Consort, please help!'"

'"Alright, since General Deng himself is personally asking, considering your years of life-and-death service for the Great Shang, I will endure the hardship."'

'"Madam, you all retreat first; I cannot have anyone disturb me while I treat."'

'"Mm"'

"Madam Yin nodded, then turned and left the tent."

"Deng Jiu Gong looked back with a complex expression, but in the end said nothing."

'"Staying alive is most important!"'

"After everyone left, Ao Yifan didn't waste time; the next moment, his right hand flipped over and a drop of sweet dew water appeared in his palm."

'"Good thing I took plenty last time at Kind Vessel; otherwise I\'d have to make another trip this time."'

"Ao Yifan said, waving his hand, and immediately saw Deng Chan Yu's armor fly off, revealing a healthy body."

"However, at this moment the gray toxin kept spreading within this body, slightly marring its appearance."

"At this moment, Ao Yifan, with a heart to heal and save, after glancing over a hundred times, reached out and evenly applied the sweet dew water in his palm onto Deng Chan Yu's body."

Daoist Cihang held a glazed bottle of sweet dew water that could heal even innate spiritual roots such as ginseng fruit; mere toxins were naturally no problem.

However, Ao Yifan, free of distracting thoughts, could only personally apply the sweet dew water evenly over every inch of Deng Chan Yu's body to fully heal her toxins.

……

While Ao Yifan was carefully treating Deng Chan Yu, at the same time, Deng Jiu Gong outside was anxiously pacing back and forth.

"General Deng, rest assured; since the Prince Consort has already promised to save your daughter, he will surely come to no harm."

After taking a sip of the tea served by Deng Jiu Gong, Madam Yin discreetly spat it out.

There was no way; compared to the good things Ao Yifan had obtained, this tea was simply hard to swallow.

Lately, no one knows where Ao Yifan obtained some immortal-grade items from; not only Madam Yin, but everyone's palate has been spoiled.

Deng Jiu Gong stopped, looked at Madam Yin with a complex expression, and said, "Your Highness the Princess, Chan'er is my only daughter; if anything happens to her, I..."

"I understand that; as parents, we naturally don't want our children to come to harm."

Madam Yin's eyes flickered slightly as she said, "However, General Deng, have you thought it through? Once Chan'er awakens, what do you plan to do?"

"Your Highness the Princess, what do you mean?"

Deng Jiu Gong had already guessed what Madam Yin wanted to say, but he subconsciously did not want to consider the matter of Deng Chan Yu being seen naked by Ao Yifan.

Earlier, in order to save Deng Chan Yu, Deng Jiu Gong had no choice.

But, as Madam Yin said, once Deng Chan Yu is rescued and awakens, this becomes an issue that cannot be avoided.

"General Deng, let's get straight to the point!"

Madam Yin instinctively reached for the tea cup beside her, but after reacting, she pulled her hand back.

"The situation is that Chan'er's body has already been seen naked by the Prince Consort; to protect Chan'er's reputation, I can agree to let the Prince Consort take her into his quarters, General Deng—what do you think?"
