Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

The brain surgery is completed.

Li Chunfu immediately returned to the medical tent next door, and the soldiers used stretchers to transfer the wounded to the bed area again. Xia Lian cleaned the operating room, and Liu Rushi hurried to the next door. Everyone was busy but not chaotic, each doing their own job.

Fang Qiu came over immediately, looking depressed and speaking anxiously: "You are finally here!"

"Don't worry, I'll disinfect my hands first to prevent each other from getting sick."

Liu Rusi comforted him in a calm tone while washing her hands again. Although the pace of war rescue was very fast, these details often determined success or failure. Reducing the risk of postoperative infection would ensure that the work was not in vain!

"Well... Fortunately, we have a female doctor like you, and your maid..." Fang Qiu whispered in gratitude...

While washing her hands in seven steps, Liu Rusi looked at the wounded patient quietly waiting on the operating table...

His facial features are ordinary and slightly delicate, but his eyebrows look rough. The skin on his face is naturally dark, but in sharp contrast to his back, as if it was painted on... The sophistication of this disguise is obviously much more advanced than Fang Qiu's.

"Are you awake? What's your name?"

The wounded man opened his tired eyes, looked at Qiu's expression below, and then gave his name: "My name is Seventeen."

Fang Qiu raised his voice in disbelief: "My father sent seventeen people?!"

"No! There are eighteen people in total, and some have to stay in the capital to protect the old lady and the mistress. Miss, here..."

Perhaps he felt that he could no longer hide it, so Seventeen confessed: "Normally, at least ten soldiers live in one tent, so nine of them came..."

Liu Rusi was surprised, but she looked at Fang Qiu and asked, "Didn't you notice that all the people in your tent are women?"

"Um...I..."

Fang Qiu was so angry and annoyed that his face turned red! Obviously, he really didn't notice!

Liu Rusi quickly put on a new gown, observed the situation of the arrow, and temporarily stopped chatting and got down to business: "Okay, I'm going to start the operation."

She got the more effective Ma Fei San from famous doctors such as Li Chunfu. Although it is not as good as professional anesthetics and the chance of awakening during surgery is very high, it can relax the muscles and allow surgery even with whole body paralysis.

Seventeen had already taken Ma Fei San before Liu Rusi came in, and it was almost taking effect by now.

The cold scalpel cut the arrow wound carefully along the back muscles, and blood inevitably flowed out...

Fang Qiu looked at him with a depressed look of shame on her face. This was the injury she suffered for him. She said softly, "I thought I was gifted... I didn't expect that it was my father who was secretly protecting me. If I hadn't discovered it by accident today, I probably wouldn't have known..."

As she became more skilled at taking arrows, Liu Rusi also had some energy to talk to others. She asked in a gentle voice, "Aren't your brothers protected by your father?"

With just one sentence, Fang Qiu's expression changed. He opened his lips slightly and murmured, "Brothers...when you join the army, you will be a lieutenant, and your subordinates will be directly under the Zhenyuan Army..."

"Men can rely on their parents' support, so why can't women? However, few people expect women to achieve success, and parents' resources are usually tilted towards men."

Liu Rusi's tone was full of envy: "Your father loves you, so he naturally wants to protect your safety."

"But... they are both women..."

Fang Qiu looked at the arrowhead taken out of the flesh and blood, and muttered awkwardly: "I thought I was very powerful... But these days, I know they are not bad either. I don't know how many disasters they have secretly blocked for me..."

"Do you think it's unfair?" Liu Rusi asked with a smile.

"Hmm...right..." Fang Qiu couldn't explain the confusion in his heart...

"But the world is unfair... Some people are born weak, while others are healthy and strong; some are rich, while others are poor; some are loved by everyone, while others..."

While cleaning the wound, Liu Rusi sighed, "Birth is destined by God. If you worry about these things, you may be confused and stuck for the rest of your life."

Fang Qiu seemed to understand something, but still said with some twisting tone: "But... relying on my father's protection, the military merits I got... were they really earned by me?"

"You can't be born a tiger or leopard and then insist on removing your natural claws and fangs, right?"

Liu Rusi was amused. These were probably the worries that only children who grew up in good circumstances would have, right? People like her would only grab whatever power they could to become stronger and protect themselves...

But then, Liu Rusi suddenly thought that the conflict between her and Chu Shiyu in her career was also like this... Because of the deep love, she carefully protected it so tightly that it made people feel imprisoned...

It's just that this kind of protection is usually given by parents to their children, and she is not used to such close relationships...

Liu Rusi asked softly, "You should have heard of Mulan Ci, right?"

"Of course I have! It was because I heard the story of a man joining the army in place of his father that I thought about joining the army as a woman!" Fang Qiu really liked this poem that inspired her!

"Nearly a thousand years ago, there were examples of women joining the army. Do you think there are other women who share the same ambitions as you over the years?" Liu Rusi asked again.

Fang Qiu paused and said hesitantly: "Should... there be one, right?"

"I think so, but why do few people know about it?"

Liu Rusi pretended to be suspicious, and then answered herself: "I think it's because you have the same concerns as other women like you. They don't dare to make meritorious deeds openly. They are also afraid that they will not be rewarded, but will be charged with deceiving the emperor."

Fang Qiu nodded slowly, thinking it was very likely.

"But we have discussed this before. You are different. Your life is supported by the Fang family."

Liu Rusi encouraged him, and began to sew up the wounds of his hands: "So, I think you shouldn't worry about your father's support. Instead, you should seize the opportunity and let these women with outstanding martial arts become your strength..."

"Perhaps, you can become a precedent for a female general of Daxia and leave your name in the history books."

"If there is one, there will be another. Perhaps in the future, women joining the army will not be something that needs to be concealed. Women like Seventeen who have martial arts skills can openly make achievements and establish their own careers."

"If you succeed, you will be like Mulan Ci, an inspiration to others."

Liu Rusi's words, with only a slight rise and fall in tone, made Fang Qiu's blood boil!

A female general whose name will go down in history!

She had only thought about staying in the army before, and had never thought of such lofty ambitions! Just hearing these assumptions made her full of pride!

"I'm going out! Please help me take care of her!"

Fang Qiufeng walked out in a hurry! If you want to become a female general, you must take advantage of the war to get more military merits!

Liu Rusi couldn't help but laugh, Fang Qiu's personality was really simple and easy to coax...

This made her feel a little embarrassed. Actually... she was still secretly looking forward to returning to the capital after the northern border was pacified. When two women, one civil and one military, appeared in the court, her pressure would not be so great...

But Fang Qiu's original ambition was to join the army. She was just trying to broaden Fang Qiu's horizons. It wasn't a bad thing, was it?
