Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

Inside the Crown Prince's palace, a servant hurried in, bowed respectfully, and reported: "Your Highness, the King has sent Dorjee to deliver a message, ordering you to come quickly. Dorjee is currently waiting respectfully outside the palace."

Upon hearing this, Ulch calmly put down the book in his hand, his gaze deep, and said in a deep voice, "I understand, I will go immediately."

Ulch was deeply enamored with the culture of the Great Chu Kingdom; its profound and extensive culture, like a dazzling star, captivated him.

To this end, he specially hired a man from the Great Chu as his advisor, hoping to learn more about the essence of Great Chu culture from him. He harbored lofty ambitions like an eagle, yearning to one day rule Great Chu and fully experience everything there.

However, the second prince and others were extremely dissatisfied with the eldest prince's actions, believing that he had lost face and lacked any manly spirit.

Ulch followed Dorjir to the Lord of the Azure Wolf, bowed solemnly, and said loudly, "I wonder what important matter Father has summoned me for?"

The Lord of the Azure Wolf, exuding majesty and domineering, said, "I have just tried the medicine you presented, and its effects are remarkable. Immediately contact the physician who gave it and have him come to see me."

Ulch replied, “Father, you look much more energetic now, which shows that the medicine is indeed extraordinary. I have already sent someone to secretly monitor the doctor in case of any unforeseen circumstances, so that we can prepare a countermeasure as soon as possible.”

The Lord of the Azure Wolf nodded slightly and said approvingly, "You did very well." After saying that, he patted his son on the shoulder. He admired his son very much. He was not reckless, but his methods were indeed a bit indecisive.

However, now that his illness is slowly improving, he still has time to slowly train his son and make him the most dazzling star.

......

Inside the general's mansion, Su Lianxue was sorting medicinal herbs with the military doctor and then carefully spreading them out to dry.

Su Lianxue frowned slightly as she focused on handling the medicinal herbs, her slender fingers occasionally turning over the dried leaves.

The military doctor, with a slight bend at the waist, skillfully arranged the medicinal herbs, muttering something to himself from time to time.

The military doctor stopped what he was doing, straightened up, looked at Su Lianxue and said, "Alright, you've been working for so long, Miss, sit down and rest for a bit."

His face was full of concern, and his eyes revealed his affection for Su Lianxue. He truly liked Su Lianxue; she was beautiful and kind-hearted, far superior to that general.

Su Lianxue didn't try to be stubborn. Upon hearing this, she stopped what she was doing, gently patted the dust off her hands, and said with a smile, "Okay, sir." She walked to a chair to the side, sat down slowly, and her posture was elegant.

The military doctor looked at the girl in front of him and said worriedly, "How is your foot injury now? If you feel any discomfort, you must tell me, or you'll suffer later." His eyes were fixed on Su Lianxue, as if trying to see the answer in her face.

Xiaomei also leaned closer with a worried look on her face and said anxiously, "That's right, Miss, this is a big deal, you can't keep quiet about it." Her hands were clenched tightly together, her face full of tension.

"I know, you don't need to worry, I'm not a child." Su Lianxue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a warm smile.

After saying that, she picked up the hot tea on the table, blew on it gently, and then slowly took a sip. After a long while, she put down the teacup, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, and said, "Sir, this tea has a very bitter taste at first, but slowly a fragrance emerges. What kind of tea is this?"

Upon hearing this, the military doctor couldn't help but feel proud. He puffed out his chest slightly and said smugly, "This is called bitter shepherd's purse tea. Isn't it delicious? I made this especially for you. I added a bitter herb called Kuding, which can prolong life and also refresh the mind."

"This tea is a favorite of Chu, I'm almost reluctant to give it to him. That kid always stays up late, Miss, you should remind him." He said, stroking his beard gently.

"Yes, I will." Su Lianxue couldn't help but look at the military doctor, her eyes full of curiosity: "Sir, when did you meet the general?" She asked curiously, leaning forward slightly.

The military doctor picked up his teacup, squinted, and seemed to be recalling something. He tilted his head slightly, looked at the sky, and said slowly, "He came when he was very young. When I first saw him, he was thin and small, quite different from how he is now." A trace of emotion appeared in his eyes.

"Really? Tell me more." Su Lianxue cupped her face, her expression full of interest. She really wanted to know what the general looked like when he was a child.

"Sigh," the military doctor sighed deeply. "That kid was a stubborn brat when he was young. When he practiced martial arts with that small frame, it was like he didn't care about his life. He wouldn't stop until he passed out. I had to clean up his messes all the time."

After saying that, he looked at Su Lianxue and said, "You are much more obedient than that boy. I like you."

Hearing this, her eyes filled with tears. She lowered her head slightly, her heart filled with emotion. She hadn't expected the general to suffer so much, yet he hadn't uttered a single complaint to her. She raised her head and said firmly, "From now on, I'll keep an eye on him. If he dares to do that again, I'll cry right in front of him."

The military doctor couldn't help but smile. Finally, someone could keep Chu in check. He breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling gratified.

He was eagerly anticipating the day he could drink in their wedding wine. Afterwards, Chu wouldn't have to be so lonely anymore, nor would he have to work so hard. He truly loved this boy like a son, but the boy was stubborn and wouldn't listen to reason, which made him both love and hate him.

After the two sorted through the medicinal herbs for a while, Su Lianxue couldn't help but ask, "Sir, do you think the wolf king will use the medicine we prepared last time?"

"Don't worry, Miss. The medicine you came up with is absolutely fine. When people are sick, the temptation of medicine that can cure them is very strong."

The military doctor couldn't help but glance at the young lady with admiration. Her progress was truly remarkable. Back then, they were still worried about this matter, because if the Wolf King were really dead, the biggest beneficiary would be the Second Prince, which was not a good thing.

Then the young lady suggested a plan: have someone pretend to deliver the medicine to the eldest prince, and then, through the eldest prince's connections, deliver the medicine to their king.

This would lower the other party's guard, thus achieving the general's goal. Considering the young lady's safety, everything was said to have been prepared by the military doctor. Apart from a few trusted confidants, the general did not want to expose her to public danger.
