The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Chapter 262 The Secret is Discovered

Once a person has doubts, they want to verify them. Li Muxia was no exception.

She remembered that she noticed a mole on Feng Yuhan's fair and clean skin, right on his right waist.

Subconsciously, Li Muxia's eyes looked towards Dongfang Jincheng's waist until that familiar mole appeared before her eyes, and Li Muxia's brain felt like it had been bombarded by explosives.

It's a mess, a complete mess. These two people are really the same person. How could this be? Has she discovered some incredible secret?

Her eyes were fixed on Dongfang Jincheng's handsome face, which remained striking even after he fell unconscious. She was momentarily at a loss for how to react.

Li Muxia felt like there were two little people arguing in her head.

One advised her to pretend she knew nothing, while the other, like a curious cat, urged her to explore the truth.

However, Li Muxia quickly realized that regardless of whether Dongfang Jincheng and Feng Yuhan were the same person, at least neither of them had ever harmed her; on the contrary, they had always been protecting her.

Although I felt a bit teased, everyone has secrets, and I also have a lot of secrets I haven't told him.

Having figured all this out, Li Muxia stopped worrying and began treating Dongfang Jincheng's wounds.

Finally, Li Muxia pulled out the dart, applied the medicine, and just then, Dongfang Jincheng's undergarment dried. She tore off some strips of cloth and bandaged Dongfang Jincheng's wound. As for the bruise on his left waist, she would wait until tomorrow during the day to administer acupuncture to remove it.

Li Muxia originally intended to use the Leech King to draw out the blood clots from Dongfang Jincheng's body. However, Dongfang Jincheng had Gu worms in his body, and the Leech King was also a type of Gu worm. She was worried that the Leech King would disturb the Gu worms in Dongfang Jincheng's body and cause other complications, so she gave up the idea.

After doing all this, Li Muxia was exhausted and fell asleep shortly after sitting down next to Dongfang Jincheng.

In the morning, when Dongfang Jincheng woke up, he felt as if something was pressing down on him. When he turned his head, he felt his face touch something furry.

It instantly snapped him awake. Looking closely, he realized that Li Muxia had fallen asleep, hugging him and leaning on his shoulder.

That position, how should I put it, any man would be tempted to press the person in his arms down beneath him.

However, Dongfang Jincheng was no ordinary man. He suppressed his impulse and shifted slightly, trying to free himself from her embrace. It wasn't that he disliked being held by Li Muxia, but he was worried that he might not be able to resist.

He was being careful, but he still disturbed Li Muxia. Li Muxia opened her eyes somewhat groggily and looked up, only to meet Dongfang Jincheng's slightly embarrassed gaze.

Dongfang Jincheng said cautiously, "Did I wake you up?"

Li Muxia exclaimed in surprise, "Your Highness, you're awake!"

They both spoke at the same time. Li Muxia gave him a big smile, then realized something and quickly withdrew her hands and feet, somewhat embarrassed, shy, and anxious, explaining, "Your Highness, please don't misunderstand. You kept saying you were cold yesterday, and since there were no blankets here, I could only..."

Before Li Muxia could finish speaking, Dongfang Jincheng pretended to be calm, straightened his clothes, and said lightly, "Yes, I know, thank you for your hard work."

However, as they tidied up, they realized something was wrong. Looking at Li Muxia, they saw that both of them were wearing their undergarments.

Seeing the confusion written all over Dongfang Jincheng's weak face, Li Muxia forgot about it. She crossed her arms, but was afraid he would misunderstand, so she waved her hands and said, "Well, we fell into the water and our clothes got wet, so I took them off for you to dry."

After saying that, she blushed and got up, throwing Dongfang Jincheng's outer garment from the rack at him, while grabbing her own outer garment and running outside. She really couldn't face Dongfang Jincheng.

Seeing Li Muxia putting on her long robe as she walked out, Dongfang Jincheng quickly called out to her, "Where are you going?"

Without turning his head, Li Muxia said, "Your Highness, please wait here for me. I'll go find some food and fetch some water."

Dongfang Jincheng watched Li Muxia's departing figure, his pale lips curving slightly: Muxia, you offered this to me willingly, so I won't stand on ceremony and accept it.

Li Muxia ran to the pool in one breath, her blush still lingering. Touching her burning cheeks, Li Muxia felt both ashamed and angry, angry at herself for being so weak.

She thought she would be the first to wake up. She had planned everything yesterday, and once she woke up, she would tidy up everything and treat what happened yesterday as a dream. As long as she didn't say anything, Dongfang Jincheng would never know.

Unexpectedly, Dongfang Jincheng, despite being so badly injured, woke up so quickly.

What should we do now? How can we face Dongfang Jincheng in the future?

When Li Muxia returned, Dongfang Jincheng was already dressed and, apart from looking somewhat weak, showed no signs of being a seriously injured patient. He had even started a fire.

Li Muxia was somewhat impressed by Dongfang Jincheng's patience.

Li Muxia put down the wild fruit and two fish she was holding. She had already cleaned the fish and handed one of the wild fruits to Dongfang Jincheng.

"Your Highness, have some wild fruit first, and I'll make some fish soup later."

The fruit was all washed clean. Dongfang Jincheng took the fruit and took a bite.

It's juicy, sweet, and has a fruity aroma; it's delicious.

"I never expected to find such delicious apples in these deep mountains and forests."

As Li Muxia poured the water from the water pouch into the pot, she said, "Right? I thought it tasted good when I ate it just now. It's sweeter than any apple I've ever had before. I guess it's a different variety."

Dongfang Jincheng nodded and finished the apple in no time.

Looking at the bubbling fish soup in the pot, the milky white broth exuding the aroma of fish, Dongfang Jincheng unconsciously swallowed.

Li Muxia picked out a jar from her collection of bottles and jars, and Dongfang Jincheng looked at her curiously.

When I opened it, I was surprised to find grains of pure white salt inside.

"You still have salt with you."

Li Muxia: "Yes, there are other seasonings, but they are all with Cui'er. I only brought salt."

Dongfang Jincheng asked curiously, "Why did you bring your own salt? Is it because you can't fit it all in the container?"

Seeing that the fishpond still needed to simmer for a while, Li Muxia explained to him, "Besides seasoning, salt also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as the ability to coagulate blood and help stop bleeding. Yesterday, I cleaned the wound on your back with saline solution, which is why the wound didn't become infected."

Dongfang Jincheng: "Saline solution?"

Li Muxia: "It's made by mixing salt and boiling water in a certain proportion, it's salt water."

Dongfang Jincheng nodded, having learned something, and considered whether he could use it on the battlefield in the future.

Li Muxia continued, "However, the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects of saline solution are not very good. The main reason you didn't get infected is that you have a very good physical condition."

After saying that, the fish soup was almost ready.

There was only one set of tableware in the wooden house, but fortunately, when Li Muxia returned, she saw a stone with a groove in the middle. Li Muxia handed the fish soup she had served to Dongfang Jincheng.

Dongfang Jincheng picked it up and took a sip. It was delicious; this was probably the best fish soup he had ever tasted.

Both of them were starving, and the only sound in the cabin was the slurping of soup.
