Chapter 430 You stepped on my foot
Zong Que's brows furrowed slightly.
Governor Feng cupped his hands in greeting: "I have said what I needed to say. As for the rest, please forgive me for being unable to do anything."
Zong Que didn't say anything more. He reached out and grasped the black cane lying to the side, stood up, and slowly walked outside.
Governor Feng stared at his steady back, thinking back to the dazzling Crown Prince of yesteryear, and then looking at him now, he felt a mix of emotions: a sense of melancholy, disbelief, and a headache.
He had not returned to the capital in recent years, but he knew that the Crown Prince's legs were crippled and there was no cure.
Those opportunistic old fogies in the capital must have been arguing about Zong Que's disability for a long time. Even if this was partly due to His Majesty's indulgence, it was an unavoidable shift in public opinion and the very reason why the people of the world were silenced.
The crown prince must not be physically disabled.
But what kind of bloodshed would occur if they knew that the Crown Prince, who was once said to be unable to stand up, had actually stood up again?
Damn it, this is a really troublesome secret.
……
After the pirates were repelled, Lu Yangyang was also exhausted, as if she had reached her limit.
I was so focused on working hard that I didn't notice it until I relaxed and realized my ankle was hurting terribly.
She bent down and pulled up the hem of her skirt to check her injured ankle when she was accidentally bumped by someone passing by, causing her to fall to the ground without warning. Fortunately, Lin Wuji saw this and reached out to grab her arm, pulling her up. However, he inadvertently took a step forward and, by sheer coincidence, stepped on her foot.
Lu Yangyang hissed softly in pain from her ankle.
Lin Wuji laughed and said, "Injured? I thought you were made of steel, that you wouldn't feel pain even if the sky fell down?"
Lu Yangyang gritted her teeth: "Could you please move your foot? You're stepping on my foot."
If her foot hadn't been hurting so badly, she would have stomped back. Oh no, was he helping her or seeking revenge?
Lin Wuji quickly took a step back, looking at her feet that were almost unsteady on their feet, "Are your feet injured?"
Lu Yangyang was furious: "Move aside, I need to find somewhere to deal with this."
It's crowded here, so it's not very convenient.
Lin Wuji stared at her for a while, then suddenly bent down and hoisted her up by the waist.
Lu Yangyang exclaimed in shock, "Hey! What are you doing? Put me down right now!"
Lin Wuji laughed heartily: "Go ahead and shout! Shout louder and I'll tell everyone you're my wife. Do you think they'll believe me?"
"I don't believe you!" Lu Yangyang thought this person was completely inexplicable. "Put me down right now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
As she spoke, she pulled the hairpin out of her hair.
Lin Wuji smiled and begged for mercy: "Alright, alright, Miss, please have mercy on me. What can I do to you? I have a few brothers guarding that area ahead. You should take care of your injuries first, and also check their injuries."
Lu Yangyang saw where he pointed, which wasn't far away, and urged, "Hurry up!"
On a distant ship, Zong Que emerged from the cabin, cane in hand, and glanced at the chaotic dock, his gaze pausing slightly.
Seeing him stop, Pei Ji asked, "Young Master, what's wrong?"
Zong Que asked softly, "Has Yangyang arrived in Yingzhou yet?"
"The incident at the dock this morning happened so suddenly that I haven't had a chance to ask about it yet. I'll go see Manager Chen later," Pei Ji replied.
Zong Que gave a soft "Mmm," and said, "Let's go."
However, after taking a few steps, he added, "Go and check. Today at the dock, there was a man dressed in red, with a江湖 (jianghu) style, and about my size and age. Check his identity."
Pei Ji glanced at the dock. There were too many people on the dock, a dense mass of heads. Where was the person His Highness had mentioned?
However, he still replied, "Yes."
Zong Que then walked towards the bottom of the stairs.
……
Lin Wuji didn't provoke Lu Yangyang any further. He walked a short distance to a slightly more spacious place and put Lu Yangyang down. There happened to be several boxes that were knee-high there. Without waiting for Lin Wuji to help her up, Lu Yangyang hopped over on one foot and sat down.
She placed her injured foot on the cargo box, pulled down her sock to take a look, touched her ankle, and then snapped the dislocated bone back into place with a crack.
Lin Wuji watched in stunned silence, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you this ruthless to yourself?"
Lu Yangyang ignored him, moved her ankle, and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't serious. Otherwise, no matter how good her technique was, it would take a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, and she would have been limping for at least a month before she could walk again.
She stomped her feet on the ground to get used to it, then called out to the people around her, "Those who are injured, come and line up. Those who are seriously injured should go first. Everyone, please be considerate."
Lin Wuji laughed in exasperation: "Hey, I was the one who saved her, shouldn't I be the first one?"
Lu Yangyang glanced at him, expressionless: "Those who are seriously injured should be placed at the front."
Lin Wuji's brothers immediately forgot about their leader's expression and pushed him to the back one by one.
Lin Wuji: "..."
There were so many injured people at the dock that Lu Yangyang couldn't care less about the little incident earlier and immediately joined the team treating the wounded. Fortunately, after the dock stabilized, the government quickly found doctors from the city to come and help.
As a result, Lu Yangyang and Wen Qingqing, who were also helping to treat the wounded, felt much more at ease. However, they soon discovered that the doctors treated the male patients first, while they didn't even glance at the women with external injuries, simply giving them some medicine and sending them on their way.
Lu Yangyang saw a woman with a deep gash in her waist, her intestines protruding. She was in excruciating pain, her face pale. The doctor merely glanced at her, didn't prescribe any medicine, and waved for her to be carried away. He then turned to treat a wound on a male patient's arm. The woman's young daughter, only seven or eight years old, squatted beside her, weeping helplessly. She kowtowed to people around her, begging for help, but no one paid her any attention. The woman looked at her daughter with heartbreaking despair.
Lu Yangyang found Luo Jing, retrieved her luggage, took out a first-aid kit from the luggage, walked up to the woman, and said to the little girl next to her, "You stand aside, I'll save your mother."
The little girl knelt down with a thud: "Please save my mother, save her..."
Lu Yangyang didn't say anything more. She bent down and carried the woman to a slightly more open space. She found a clean piece of clothing in her luggage and laid it on the ground. After cleaning her hands, she tore open the woman's clothes to expose the wound. After checking that there were no problems inside, she carefully stuffed the exposed intestines back in, cleaned the area around the wound, took out a needle and thread, and began to suture the wound with her fingers flying.
The doctor who had just dismissed the mother and daughter saw Lu Yangyang's actions and immediately got up and came over to scold her.
"Nonsense! What are you doing?"
