"No, are you sick?" Ren Yingying rolled her eyes. "I know, you're rambling. Maybe you didn't have an umbrella when it rained."
Qu Nian: "... It's not that I'm sick, it's that others are sick."
"Who? What's wrong?"
Ren Yingying does resemble a doctor to some extent.
Although she withdrew from the competition with top students and chose cosmetic surgery to pursue a more relaxed lifestyle, isn't she still a doctor?
"Even military doctors wouldn't be able to diagnose a woman's condition," Qu Nian said.
He should have been more explicit, but for some subtle reason, he deliberately spoke vaguely, wanting to see Ren Yingying's reaction.
Ren Yingying didn't disappoint him; she immediately widened her eyes and asked, "Who? Which one?"
She had told the four of them before she came that this wasn't a trip for fun, and that it was too dangerous, so she wouldn't bring anyone with her and would let the four of them stay at the palace.
But all four of them cried and insisted on coming with her.
Ren Yingying was naturally upset but also firmly refused.
So when Qu Nian told her that there were sick female relatives in the army, her first thought was that one of the four of them had secretly followed them.
Qu Nian: As expected, she still gets jealous.
It's perfect.
"Don't worry, she's not my woman."
Ren Yingying breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, it wasn't those four, or she would have been furious.
Qu Nian: See? That's how much she cares about me.
I feel like my back is straighter now.
"Leertai's woman." Qu Nian knew she loved gossip, and in a good mood, she even chatted with her for a bit. "I suspect that last night, the two of them... got into trouble."
Ren Yingying: "Holy crap! What's going on?"
If her corpus luteum ruptures, she'll be in real trouble!
It's not that I can't use a knife on someone, but I'm still a little scared. I wish Tangbao were here.
"It looks like you're bleeding?" Qu Nian's face flushed slightly. "Never mind that, do you have any medicine?"
"Can you take medicine randomly?" Ren Yingying glared at him. "Let's go take a look."
Although I was reluctant to leave my warm bed, saving lives was the priority.
This Leertai looks respectable, but he does nothing right.
When did he bring a woman? How come she didn't see her?
If she had known there were other women in the army, she would have gone over to see if they could hit it off.
Qu Nian replied, "I'm not going. You're just giving me some random medicine, trying anything as a last resort. If you go and it doesn't cure the illness, you might even get blamed by Leertai, which could affect our cooperation."
It's not wrong to be powerless, but it's not good to let others take the blame.
Ren Yingying said, "That's a man's business. If you didn't come to call me, fine, but even after I called, you wouldn't let me go. You're just standing by and watching me die. Are you deliberately trying to make me the patriarch's wrath?"
Qu Nian: "It's rare to see you so serious."
"With Tangbao gone, I can't be serious, but you're the one being serious? Hurry up and lead the way! I'm afraid someone will get killed."
If a ruptured corpus luteum is too severe, it can be fatal.
"... Okay then."
Qu Nian jumped out of the car and extended his hand to Ren Yingying.
Ren Yingying put on her fox fur coat, took his hand and jumped off the carriage, but almost tripped over her skirt and fell headfirst into Qu Nian's arms.
Qu Nian was hit hard on the head, causing him to stumble and gasp for breath in pain.
He couldn't handle such advances...
"Does your head hurt?" he asked after taking a deep breath.
Ren Yingying touched her head haphazardly, "Where did my hairpin go? Never mind, I need to go save them first."
She had gotten up a moment ago and hastily grabbed a hairpin to fasten it in her hair, but it was gone now, and her hair was down.
Qu Nian: "..."
It turned out to be a hairpin; it almost pierced his heart and sent him to his death!
Where to go?
"On the carriage to the north."
"Oh." Ren Yingying was very dedicated and immediately ran south.
Qu Nian grabbed her arm quickly, "You're wrong!"
Ren Yingying has a terrible sense of direction and gets confused about which way is north, south, east, and west.
The two quickly arrived at the largest carriage, from which came Leertai's impatient voice.
"What's wrong with you! Speak! I'm telling you to speak!"
This was somewhat different from the composed and refined Leertai that Ren Yingying had met.
She couldn't help but recall the crying she heard when she and Tang Zhuyun were rescued; it wasn't fake after all, and it was probably Leertai cursing.
He's so good at putting on an act in front of others, but his volatile side comes out in private.
Don't talk to strangers...
"Leertai," Qu Nian said, a proud look on his face, "I've brought you the doctor."
It's time for Yingying to show off her skills.
He always knew that Ren Yingying was no less capable than Tang Zhuyun.
Ren Yingying glanced at the carriage, hesitated slightly, and whispered in Qu Nian's ear, "Is it convenient for me to get on like this?"
Don't let the couple start fighting and hurt innocent bystanders.
Qu Nian leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Don't worry, I'm here."
Ren Yingying: "..."
Why are you standing so close!
Leertai flung open the carriage curtain, and after his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he saw that it was Ren Yingying.
He jumped down from the carriage, his manners returning to their usual polite state, and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Princess Consort."
"Tell me what happened," Ren Yingying said. "Let me make this clear: if the illness is serious, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do. I'll try my best to help, but if I can't, don't blame me."
Be a petty person first, then a gentleman.
Qu Nian said domineeringly, "That's none of your business. He has to be grateful that you came."
If he doesn't appreciate it, beat him until he does.
As he spoke, he extended his arm to Ren Yingying and helped her into the carriage.
The carriage was spacious, with Mingzhu placed at each of the four corners. A woman was bound, her hair disheveled, and her eyes blazing with fury.
Ren Yingying: "..."
This Leertai is definitely sick.
Why does he like bondage so much?
"Um," Ren Yingying touched her nose and asked, "What's wrong?"
The woman's face flushed crimson, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "You weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken? Get lost!"
Ren Yingying looked the woman up and down, but couldn't see anything wrong with her.
It appears that the hypothesis of corpus luteum rupture is incorrect.
"If you're alright, I'll be going now," Ren Yingying said.
The woman turned her head away and said, "Get lost!"
Ren Yingying shrugged and shifted her position as if to "roll" down.
At that moment, Leertai's voice rang out.
"Princess Consort, I can speak with you privately regarding her illness..."
"Princess Consort?" The woman seemed surprised for a moment, then became furious and said, "Leertai, if you dare to utter another word, I'll bite my tongue and kill myself!"
Ren Yingying quietly explained that biting one's tongue makes it very difficult to commit suicide...
"Either you speak to the Crown Princess, or I will speak." Leertai's voice carried an undeniable air of authority.
Or rather, a threat.
The woman's face turned even redder, and she gritted her teeth, cursing "despicable," before truly stopping chasing Yingying.
Ren Yingying looked at her. "So, what do you say now?"
Having seen all sorts of patients, this is truly bizarre.
