Chapter 298 I can die, but you can’t
Chu Xi, who was separated by a door, could only take advantage of the gap when Zhou Yichen was talking to quickly change the medicine on the wound on the side of his waist and wrap it with gauze.
Apart from this wound being in a special location and requiring extra care, other areas are mostly on the arms and legs.
It is also possible to put on clothes before processing.
After all, Chu Er was her follower, and she was worried that Zhou Yichen would insist on coming in and she would not be able to stop him.
Chu Xi quickened her pace in putting on her clothes, and her slender and beautiful fingers quickly hooked the belt and tied it up.
The breast wrap inside had long been soaked with blood and should have been changed long ago.
But now I'm in the inn and there's no way to change it, so I can only continue using it for the time being.
The wound on the side of my waist has not been able to get a good rest these days. Fortunately, the weather in Xi'an is not hot during this period.
Otherwise, just during this period of time, she had been fighting the enemy day and night, and her wounds would have become seriously ulcerated even if they did not fester.
There were only three new wounds in the past two days, and the rest were from previous wounds that had not yet healed.
"I just want to go in and take a look." Zhou Yichen looked at Chu Er, who was standing in front of him like a wooden stake, blocking the door tightly and refusing to move away.
Chu Er lowered his head, looking like he would not be easily offended, but he would never give way.
Zhou Yichen could understand Chu Er's behavior of following his orders without permission, but the premise was that this person was not talking to him.
Now he just wanted to go in and see how Qi Bai was doing. The more Chu Er tried to stop him, the more annoyed he became.
Zhou Yichen, who has always been calm and able to control his temper, moved his eyes slightly. The followers behind him saw the hint from Zhou Yichen and took action immediately.
The atmosphere outside the house was tense and filled with smoke, and it seemed like a fight was about to break out.
As soon as the door opened, Chu Xi saw the people brought by Zhou Yichen were ready to go, as if they were planning to pull Chu Er away.
Chu Xi frowned, "Stop."
Zhou Yichen had no intention of doing anything serious, he just wanted someone to pull Chu Er away.
Now that Qi Bai had taken the initiative to open the door, his intention had been achieved and there was no need to take any more action.
Zhou Yichen raised his hand, signaling his men not to do anything more, "Are you okay?"
"Not bad." Chu Xi knew that he had a special identity, so he never let military doctors treat his wounds, except for the wound on his arm which was treated by Rong Qingzhu.
The outer robe and inner clothes needed to be taken off at the waist, so of course she would not let anyone else do it, not even Chu Er.
She was not used to being taken care of by others, and even less used to others applying medicine to her. She always felt uncomfortable.
As a modern person educated in the 21st century, she could not feel comfortable allowing others to undress her.
This experience was like being an adult version of a giant baby to her.
"Then why don't you let me in?" Zhou Yichen was still holding on to that point.
Not only that, he glanced around the room and found that there was no one else in the room except Qi Bai.
This means...Qi Bai actually changed the medicine himself?
Chu Xi opened his mouth, but couldn't think of a suitable way to say it.
Indeed, the fact that she refused to ask for help, changed the medicine by herself, and let Chu Er guard the door was really suspicious.
Although Zhou Yichen felt it was strange, he did not question it because it was Qi Bai.
I just asked out of pure curiosity, "Why don't you ask others to help you? How about changing the medicine by yourself?"
Chu Xi, "...It's not a big deal, just an injury. My hands can still move. There are not enough people here. If everyone is waiting for the military doctor to come and treat them, how long will it take?"
Well, of course it's just an excuse.
She knew that Zhou Yichen was sincere and really cared about her.
But he didn't know that he would never be able to let anyone else get close to him.
Zhou Yichen didn't know what he was thinking of, and suddenly asked, "Why did you knock me out? Do you think I won't be willing to fight to the death with you?"
Qi Bai would never know how anxious and panicked he was in the moment he woke up.
He had been losing for the past twenty short years.
After losing his mother, my grandfather and his family were forced by the emperor to move out of the capital. He resigned from his position as Taifu just to ask the emperor to keep him.
Lost the favor and attention of his father.
Lost...the wet nurse who once cared for him like her own son and was concerned about everything for him.
Qi Bai is a gift from God, and one of the few people who has been with him all these years and has been steadfast in not leaving him.
If he loses again, he doesn’t know what he will become and what he will do.
"No, I believe Your Highness can do it." Chu Xi walked closer step by step.
"But I asked Zheng Hao to take you away, not because I felt that you could not fight to the death with us, but because your status is noble and you cannot be caught by Qi Minsong and others."
Once caught, there are only two outcomes.
Either he would be humiliated by Xi Chu in various ways and live a life worse than death.
Otherwise, it will be used by Western Chu to threaten the generals and Your Majesty, and let Your Majesty make the decision.
"The politics of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been in turmoil for many years. The court is dark, officials protect each other, and corrupt officials are in power. Your Highness, you are the last hope of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I can die a thousand times, but you can't."
Chu Xi witnessed how difficult it was for ordinary people to survive in this world. If he wanted to change the world, he must first change the government.
And the current emperor will never want to change. Only when the new emperor ascends the throne can the court be clear and honest.
"Next time something like this happens, don't send me away. I will die without regrets if I can die with you." Zhou Yichen's eyes were firm.
There is no logic in this world as to who should die and who should not die.
Except for those corrupt officials and traitors, Zhou Yichen did not feel that he was superior to others.
So what if he was a prince? So what if he was the legitimate prince born to Empress Yuan?
He has been neglected for so many years, and the treatment he received is even worse than that of the legitimate son of a big family.
His father's neglect for many years had made him lose hope for the future.
Peace and prosperity in the world are not so much his wish as his ideal.
It was because of Qi Bai that he had the idea of seizing the throne!
When Chu Xi heard this, she knew that Zhou Yichen's words were to show her that he was not afraid of death and was willing to go through life and death together, but she couldn't really let Zhou Yichen die here.
Whether for the normal operation of the novel world or for the future of Da Zhou, she must protect Zhou Yichen and prevent him from any harm.
"You still have other injuries that haven't been treated. I'll help you." Zhou Yichen's eyes fell on Chu Xi's arm.
With such a short time and Qi Bai alone, it is easy to guess that the wound has not been treated yet.
"...Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Chu Xi was polite.
Compared to the original owner's heartfelt respect for Zhou Yichen, she didn't respect Zhou Yichen that much.
Zhou Yichen is three or four years younger than she is in modern times, and he is just a younger brother. Why should he be respected all the time? He is not an elder!
"What's wrong with that? You've bandaged my wounds before."
"Then, I'll trouble you, Your Highness." Chu Xi was just being polite and had no intention of really refusing, so he immediately went down the slope.
Zhou Yichen seemed to understand his intention and couldn't help but chuckle.
