The Flower Of War

Chapter 22: Care

After entering the city center gate, they walked towards a makeshift tent that Yiu had prepared before starting the war to treat the wounded Soldier.

Several soldiers carrying stretchers ran towards the makeshift tent with the seriously injured soldiers.

All the servants and healers were overwhelmed to treat the wounded soldiers, there were also cries of pain from the soldiers that made Yiu's heart break.

"Prince .. can I help the healers to treat our soldiers?"

Yiu turned with a pleading gaze towards Prince Huang who was sitting General Rong in a bamboo makeshift bed to treat.

Prince Huang seemed to think for a moment.

"You can help them but you have to heal your wounds first"

Prince Huang's words made Yiu pursed his lips.

"But I'm fine, look at your soldiers roaring in pain and in need of immediate treatment but the medical personnel we have now are so few that not all can be dealt with directly."

"Huh! Well, help them, but if you're feeling tired, get some rest, I know you must be really tired from all this."

Prince Huang smiled briefly but it was enough to make Yiu jump in delight.

Yiu without a second thought immediately asked for some potions that the healers had prepared and immediately defeated the soldiers who were lying in pain.

He had even forgotten about the wounds on his own body, for him the injuries were a later affair as long as he was still able to endure it more importantly now was to save the lives of the soldiers from the brink of death as much as possible.

Prince Huang sat on a bamboo chair near the makeshift tent one of his hands holding a healer-like herb to apply on his injured body part.

Suddenly a man dressed in war but looking as luxurious as a General was sitting next to Prince Huang.

Prince Huang only glanced at the young man beside him then refocused on his injuries.

"Princess Ying is not only a brave girl but is also very skilled in sword fighting even to the point of defeating the Crown Prince of Tian Lu haha you are really lucky to have a brother as great as her, Prince."

"Be quiet Prince Wu Xiao! Ying is great but I will never let you get close to him!"

Prince Wu Xiao who was also in Prince Huang's army as the representative Grand General of Zhang Wu's Kingdom chuckled lightly at Prince Huang's words.

"Where might I like Princess Ying even to the point of trying to approach her, she is like a starving lioness. Just a moment I approached him it was certain that my body would be torn apart in his greed."

Prince Huang only acted indifferently as if he had not heard Prince Wu Xiao's words.

The second bead was still focused on Yiu who was busy treating the wounded soldiers.

Prince Wu Xiao's gaze narrowed trying to stare more intensely at Yiu.

"Prince ... Why did you let Princess Ying treat your soldiers?"

"He insisted on wanting to treat them anyway as long as he was fine I was fine if he wanted to help his soldiers" Prince Huang was still in his indifference.

"Well, are you saying? He's hurt pretty much and blood is seeping everywhere you say he's okay?"

Prince Wu Xiao's words successfully made Prince Huang glare sharply at him.

"Don't talk original!"

"Who speaks the origin? Take a good look at Princess Ying's black clothes, not in the belly clothes like darker and on the back then on her arms and shoulders, also the clothes have been torn ... if it's sweat it should be all wet and there's no reddish-black on that wet part."

Prince Huang turned to look at Yiu, his gaze now sharper looking at his only sister.

"Ying, you!. .. Why don't you ever change, you always put someone else first instead of yourself!"

Prince Huang hissed, his face began to reddish between wanting to be angry with Yiu's attitude and angry with himself due to not being observant in paying attention to his sister's circumstances.

Prince Huang tried to stand up intending to approach Yiu but was immediately restrained by Prince Wu Xiao.

"Pacify yourself, Prince. You better take care of your wounds first I'll appoint him to treat his wounds first."

Prince Wu Xiao's words were answered by a nod from Prince Huang who was back in his seat again and Prince Wu Xiao immediately walked over to Yiu.

"Please treat your wounds first, Princess Ying"

A heavy sound from behind that suddenly made Yiu jump in shock and look back.

"You?! How the hell are you here?"

"Did you forget when you were at Zhang Wu Palace, Prince Xiao Ce asked for help from Zhang Kingdom and I have also been appointed as a Great General so who else would have intervened if not me?"

Prince Wu Xiao spoke in an overbearing tone while Yiu turned his eyes off guard.

Suddenly Prince Wu Xiao reached for Yiu's hand making Yiu startled and glaring sharply.

"You want what you! You're crazy, aren't you? Off!"

"You already know that you're seriously injured but you're still hanging around, so who's crazy?!"

"I'm not hurt and I'm fine!"

"Oh, no hurt?"

Prince Wu Xiao hit the left arm and right shoulder of the injured Yiu, Yiu grimaced as his wound was hit hard enough by Prince Wu Xiao.

Yiu was silent a thousand languages and finally let Prince Wu Xiao take him towards the tent.

Unexpectedly, Prince Wu Xiao held onto Yiu, making Yiu spontaneously draped his hands around Prince Wu Xiao's white neck.

"Hey put me down! I can walk on my own!" yiu's face turned red within a short period of time.

"Be quiet! The more you move the more you lose blood. The more you yell the more pairs of eyes will be watching you."

Prince Wu Xiao walked through the crowd of soldiers and medical members leisurely, not a few people who stared real at the two made Yiu hide his face on Prince Wu Xiao's shoulder.

Prince Wu Xiao smiled faintly, "You're light as well as it turns out, it hasn't eaten for how many days, Miss?"

Yiu who was still hiding his face on Wu Xiao's shoulder immediately replied in a harsh tone, "Shut up and walk quickly!"

Prince Wu Xiao was again unable to hide the smile on his face.

After walking for a while, Wu Xiao carried Yiu's body into a special tent, he put Yiu's body to sleep on a bamboo bed and handed it to the female healer for treatment.

Before he left, Prince Wu Xiao spoke to the female physician, "Tabib, please check Princess Ying's brain as well, I think her mentality is disturbed and it resulted in her losing quite a lot of weight."

Yiu's face that had been flushed from earlier plus hearing the crazy ramblings of Prince Wu Xiao, who had just turned red, without a second thought, immediately taking his shoes and throwing them at Prince Wu Xiao made the namer immediately disappear from his sight, "Be quiet, Damn it!"

After finishing giving the saleb made from herbal ingredients, the female healers who treated him immediately resigned letting Yiu rest in a sitting position.

Because his back was hit by a sword and his wound was deep enough, he was not allowed to sleep on his back for too long and the potion from the healer was placed on a cloth wrapped around like a sash on his back.

Shortly after, Prince Huang entered the tent where Yiu was, his manic radiating regret and pent-up anger but Prince Huang was not angry at Yiu but at himself for failing to look after his sister.

"I'm sorry *Meimei, I was late if I had come sooner you wouldn't have been hurt."

*Meimei ( ⁇ ) means little sister.

Prince Huang lowered his head not daring to stare at Yiu's dark brown bead, he felt very guilty.

"It's not Gege's fault, I myself am willing to intervene to defend the Qiu Wang Kingdom."

Yiu smiled, his hand clasping Prince Huang's hand trying to convince him.

"But wait ... How can Mother allow you to fight? Seeing your finger pierced by thorns alone Mother will scold mercilessly anyone who is around you .. You know not if the Mother's temperament will not be stable if it is related to her child."

"Ee, well I'll tell Gege everything."

Yiu scratched his non-itchy nape then let out a long sigh before recounting the incident at dinner until the war command was in sound.

Prince Huang looked in disbelief at Yiu, in his mind he had never once thought of such an ingenious tactic.

Just about to give Yiu a compliment suddenly a female servant asked for permission to enter because of the arrival of a messenger carrying the message of Prince Xiao Ce from the border of Zin Shu Village.

The messenger went in and knelt down greeting the two and began to explain the message he was carrying.

"Sincerely, Prince Huang and Princess Ying. I carried a message from Prince Xiao Ce that Tian Lu's forces were defeated and Qiu Wang won. They will soon return to Qiu Wang and are expected to arrive in 2 days ... The prince was asked to hold a welcoming ceremony for the Emperor and the Allied Kingdoms."

A bright smile emanated from the faces of Prince Huang and Yiu upon hearing the message then Prince Huang threw a bag of money towards the envoy.

"A very good news. Accept this as a gift and quickly go to the Palace and tell the Empress about this."

The envoy repeatedly bowed happily, "You are very generous Prince. I will soon pass on this good news to the Queen. Please permission, Prince, Princess."

After the envoy left, Prince Huang rushed off to inform his entire army of this good news and immediately prepared a Welcoming Ceremony in the Palace.

Before Prince Huang walked away, Yiu repeatedly whined to be allowed to go with him but was rejected outright by Prince Huang who reasoned that Yiu should rest.

The sun was almost completely setting.

Now Prince Huang, Yiu, Prince Wu Xiao, General Rong and some of the troops have moved back towards Qiu Wang Palace leaving some soldiers standing guard around the capital gate.

Not long after, their entourage had entered the quiet palace area there were only a few soldiers and servants walking back and forth.

There was no welcome, no celebration party, so calm and made Yiu ask questions as he got off the train.

Where's mother?.

Yiu wanted to ask the whereabouts of his mother to Prince Huang.

But not long after, a palace physician came to Yiu.

"Daughter .. There's something I want to talk about"

The healer looked down respectfully as Yiu walked in front of him and immediately stopped his steps when he heard the healer's voice.

Yiu turned his head then turned his body towards the healer with a questionable look.

"About the empress. ..."
