The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Chongming took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to ask the Left Captain to take him to visit the unconscious Major General Zuo.

After entering the room, the first thing that catches your eye is the intricately carved rosewood bed with a "fish in water" pattern.

Chongming slowly walked to the bedside and stared at Zuo Nian lying on it. In the past, Major General Zuo's face was strong and firm, but now he looked extremely thin and pale because of his coma.

It seemed to have lost its vitality and energy, which shocked Chongming so much that he could hardly believe what he saw.

After a brief hesitation, he solemnly asked the Left Commander, "Your Excellency, I have learned some medical skills since I was young. I wonder if you would allow me to take Major General Zuo's pulse?"

He paused and continued, "Perhaps we can find some clues that will help with the diagnosis and treatment of the disease."

After saying this, he looked towards the left captain expectantly, hoping to get his consent.

"He's suffering from a heart disease... As the saying goes, a heart disease needs a heart medicine. No matter how advanced the medical skills are, it will be of no use to him and it will be difficult to cure it completely..."

The left captain was filled with mixed feelings of regret and frustration, feeling helpless and could only sigh and continue speaking.

"Perhaps this is fate! My son was truly infatuated, and coupled with the wounds he suffered in the past that have not yet healed, he became depressed and fell into a coma."

"I really don't know what's so special about that Miss Hua?"

Chongming finally couldn't help but speak out the doubts that had been buried in his heart for a long time, and continued to talk to himself.

"Now that she has disappeared without a trace, she seems to be living a carefree life. However, it has caused hardship to our Crown Prince. He has become completely distraught and depressed all day long..."

"General Hua's daughter, Hua Ye, is truly a descendant of a general, a daughter of a tiger father! Not only is she a master of both civil and military skills, possessing extraordinary wisdom and strategy, but her military command is as precise and accurate as if possessed by a god, and she is ruthless in her decisions. Such talent and courage are truly rare in Western Chu over the past hundred years!"

Although the left captain's face was solemn, his eyes could not hide his admiration for Hua Ye.

"Indeed, I have personally witnessed her bravery on the battlefield, her courage even greater than that of an ordinary man. Even more remarkable is that her slightly heroic face is also so soft and beautiful..."

Chongming couldn't help but admire it sincerely, but then he couldn't help revealing a trace of regret and continued.

"A person as powerful as her is probably beyond the control of ordinary people. She even dared to use the whip on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and she also made His Royal Highness not say a word about the matter, directly turning the page and not forbidding his subordinates to mention it at all."

"Oh, how do you say this?"

The Left Commandant couldn't help but start gossiping: "Did she really whip the Crown Prince?"

"Yes, His Highness is still unable to get out of bed and has even taken sick leave for the morning court session. Left Commander, are you unaware of this?"

Chongming looked at the left captain seriously and asked back.

"I just thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had caught a cold and didn't think much about it..." The left captain coughed awkwardly, thinking: This girl is so bold!

"Then do you know the whereabouts of Miss Hua? Has Miss Hua secretly visited Master Zuo Nian?"

Chongming asked the question directly and explained his purpose.

"Since returning to the capital, I have not even set foot in the Zuo Mansion. His Royal Highness has sent people to inquire about this three times, but why doesn't he believe what I say?"

The left captain's heavy face grew darker, and his old body trembled slightly with uneasiness.

"That's very good. Judging from your Highness's attitude, I'm afraid he must marry Miss Hua. I also advise Major General Zuo not to get too involved with the future Crown Princess..."

Chongming warned again without getting tired of it.

"I hope you will attach great importance to guarding me. I will report to Your Highness that no one in my Zuo Mansion has any connection with the Crown Princess. Please rest assured, Your Highness, I have no intention of competing for her."

The Left Commandant was forced to lower his proud head and salute Chongming, who held a much lower official position than him.

"I will definitely tell the Left Commander what he said. I have something else to say."

Chongming hurried forward to help the left captain up.

"But it doesn't matter!"

"If you know of a person named Xuzhi, please inform me. Miss Hua calls him Master Xuzhi. His Royal Highness suspects that he has abducted Miss Hua."

"As soon as you get any news about him, inform Guard Yu Zhong immediately. Please go back! I've been too tired recently and want to rest early."

"Then I shall take my leave. Thank you for troubling me for so long!"

Chongming drank the tea in the cup, then said goodbye and walked out of Zuo Mansion.
