But before that, she had to help Tu Yong heal his injuries first.

Xie Ying calmly activated her special abilities while asking Tu Jiaojiao, "Mother, what do you think of Duke Dingguo?"

The knife wound in Tu Yong's abdomen was quite deep. Because it pierced his intestines, some dirt had entered Tu Yong's abdominal cavity through the wound.

Such injuries should be treated with immediate surgical debridement, otherwise infection and complications may easily occur.

Fortunately, the seed helped Tu Yong heal the wound on his intestine in time, so not much dirt flowed out. Otherwise, Tu Yong might not have been able to hold on until this time.

After Tu Yong was injured, the doctor used strong liquor to clean his abdominal cavity and wound, and then sutured, applied medicine and bandaged him.

This kind of treatment would have been considered very good in ancient times, but the technique was too rough and still caused some damage to Tu Yong's internal organs.

After all, Tu Yong is old, his physical functions are not as good as those of young people, and his recovery is slow.

Even though both imperial physicians were skilled in medicine, Xie Ying still had to take action.

Tu Yong's recovery would be too slow if he relied solely on the imperial physician's treatment. Even if he survived, his vitality would be severely damaged, which would affect his lifespan.

Xie Ying naturally couldn't let Tu Yong's life be shortened.

While she was treating Tu Yong, she asked Tu Jiaojiao about Duke Dingguo, Situ Ming and others, and she became more and more concerned.

After repairing the damage to Tu Yong's organs, Xie Ying removed the remaining poison from his body and took out the seed.

At this time, the energy in the seed has been exhausted and it has lost all vitality.

But the seed was too small, and Tu Jiaojiao was recalling the situation of Duke Dingguo and others, so she didn't notice Xie Ying's little movements.

After Xie Ying got the seeds, she withdrew her hand.

To prevent others from becoming suspicious, she did not heal Tu Yong's abdominal wound, but waited for it to heal slowly on its own.

At this time, Tu Jiaojiao also told Xie Ying everything she knew about Duke Dingguo and others.

Xie Ying could tell that Tu Jiaojiao admired Duke Dingguo and his son very much, but she really disliked Situ Ming and his son.

Moreover, Tu Yong seemed to be very displeased with Situ Ming.

Tu Jiaojiao had asked him the reason, but Tu Yong refused to tell her. Now that she was talking about this, Tu Jiaojiao regretted not asking further questions.

Xie Ying didn't want her to continue blaming herself, so she analyzed, "Situ Ming and his son were stationed at the border for many years, and his eldest son died in battle.

Given my grandfather's temperament, if Situ Ming wasn't a traitor, he wouldn't have disliked him so much. Even considering Situ Ming's hard work and great achievements, my grandfather would have let go of the old grudge.

Since he is still unwilling to let go, it means that Situ Ming is a very problematic person. He might even be a traitor who collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country!"

Xie Ying's partiality was obvious. After she finished speaking, she asked Tu Jiaojiao, "Grandfather has a lot of old knife and arrow wounds on his body. Are they from his military service? Mother, do you know where he served back then?"

Tu Jiaojiao's expression turned very ugly. "Your father said the same thing, and he suspected that your grandfather had served in the army in Hejian Prefecture and had an old grudge with Situ Ming."

After a pause, she continued, "Your father also secretly investigated Situ Ming's past and discovered that the year your grandfather was injured and retired from the army, Hejian Prefecture had a great victory, and Situ Ming even killed an enemy general, making a great contribution..."

At this point, she hesitated again, and after a moment's hesitation, she continued, "Your father suspected that Situ Ming had stolen someone else's military achievements."

Xie Ying opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Could it be that he stole my grandfather's military achievements?"

Tu Jiaojiao shook her head. "It's not necessarily your grandfather's military achievements alone; it could have been attributed to others. Anyway, when your grandfather retired from the army, he returned home with a large sum of money and bought dozens of acres of fertile land."

Your father suspected that the silver was given by Duke Dingguo. If Situ Ming really stole the military merit, he would definitely kill to prevent being reported.

Unless someone stops him and gives your grandfather a large sum of money as compensation, your grandfather may not be able to return home alive."

Xie Ying sneered, "What's a little silver? Such a great military achievement is enough to make Grandfather promoted and rich! They took such a huge advantage, do you think the victim should regard them as benefactors?"

Tu Jiaojiao sighed and said, "Your grandfather was seriously injured back then, and it was impossible for him to continue serving in the army. Moreover, the Duke of Ding was still alive at that time. If he insisted on protecting his son, what could Situ Yue do?

At that time, the late emperor still had to rely on Duke Xianding to defend Hejian Prefecture. It was impossible for him to punish Duke Xianding for the sake of some small soldiers under him.

What's more, your grandfather was seriously injured at the time and almost became a disabled person. It was even less likely that the late emperor would favor him.

If they really had to fight head-on, your grandfather would probably have been seriously injured and died, and his life would have been lost in vain.

Although I am also very angry, I have to bow my head under the eaves. At that time, Situ Yue saved your grandfather's life and compensated him with a large sum of money. It was indeed a great favor. "

Xie Ying was still dissatisfied: "They just bullied my grandfather because he was injured and became a cripple, and he has no backing. Since they can bully others by taking advantage of their power, don't blame me for bullying them back."

Tu Jiaojiao frowned instantly and grabbed Xie Ying's hand: "Yingying, what do you want to do?"

"Don't worry, Mom. I won't do anything stupid."

As soon as Xie Ying finished speaking, she noticed Xiangxiang had returned. She calmly placed her hand on the bedside and took Xiangxiang back.

Then, she learned Dr. He's secret from Xiangxiang.

Xie Ying raised her lips in a mocking manner, then she grabbed Tu Yong's hand and whispered in his ear, "Grandfather, it's time for you to wake up."

Tu Jiaojiao couldn't help wanting to say something, but she saw Tu Yong's tightly closed eyelids suddenly tremble!

She opened her eyes wide in surprise and stared at Tu Yong's face, afraid to miss the slightest change on his face.

Tu Yong's eyelids trembled several times, then his eyeballs moved and his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

Xie Ying cried pitifully: "Grandpa, you finally woke up."

Tu Yong subconsciously turned his eyes to look at Xie Ying, then exclaimed: "Yingying? Why are you here? Did I go back to the capital?"

Tu Jiaojiao quickly said, "Dad, you're still in Hejian Prefecture. Yingying heard that you were poisoned and couldn't be cured, so she rushed over to save you!"

Her face was filled with heartache. "Yingying traveled for two days and two nights without a break! Dad, who hurt you? What about the letter you left behind? What's the matter with you and Situ Ming?"

Now that Yingying is here, you can't keep hiding it. Otherwise, we won't know anything and won't be defenseless against the enemy, right? "

As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Ying looked at Tu Yong pitifully, saying, "Grandpa, I'm so scared."

Tu Yong was speechless: "..."

Although he was unconscious, he was already conscious. He heard everything Xie Ying and Tu Jiaojiao said before!

Xie Ying just said she would bully him back, but now she says she is scared!

The key is, she pretends to be pretty good!
