Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 52: The Prince Harmed by the Attackers (3)

The woman bowed in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Zhu Xu greets His Highness. Sir Military Doctor, thank you for your praise. Practicing medicine and saving lives is my duty. Unfortunately, I have not yet developed an antidote. I am really ashamed."

Ning Ning waved her hand. "I have heard from the military doctor that the epidemic is complicated and the antidote cannot be developed in just a few days. Doctor Zhu, don't feel guilty. Please come and take a look at my injuries."

Zhu Xu agreed and pretended to come over to check on Ning Ning's injuries, but she was talking to her system in her mind, "Qi Bingqin is really cruel. She really broke Ning Ning's hand. But she was too clever. The halo she used was not good enough. She didn't charm Ning Ning at all. I heard that she has been taken to jail."

"Do you want to help him heal? It only takes 10 points."

"Humph, I won't help him cure it. He's such a blockhead, if I don't make him weak, he won't be able to open his mind. Besides, if it's so easy to cure, he won't cherish it. For example, the plague, I can't cure them immediately, I have to let them get seriously ill before I can help, so that I can show that I have worked hard. In short, I have to think of more ways to make him more grateful to me and pity me more."

She frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, "This injury is very serious and cannot be healed overnight. I do know a secret recipe that can make a very effective medicine for injuries, but it will take some time. I have to go up the mountain to collect herbs."

The military doctor also became anxious when he heard this. "I don't know what herbs you need. I can send someone to buy them."

"No need. The herb grows deep in the mountains and is rarely seen on the market. I have to go into the mountains to collect it. You don't have to worry. I'm not that squeamish. Although there are wild beasts and poisonous creatures in the mountains, I have been practicing medicine and collecting herbs all year round to cure illnesses and save lives. I have been to all kinds of dangerous places and encountered all kinds of harsh environments. It's completely fine for me to go alone. Don't worry."

Having said that, her watery eyes never left Ning Ning, and her eyes were full of anticipation.

As if to say, how can you bear to see me taking risks alone?

Ning Ning lived up to everyone's expectations and cleared her throat before speaking, "Since it's so tiring, and Doctor Zhu has to develop an antidote for the epidemic, then I won't bother Doctor Zhu. Qi Bingqin has been saying that she can cure my injury, so why not let her come over and try."

"No!"

Zhu Xu blurted out, attracting the attention of Ning Ning and the military doctor. She hurriedly tried to make up for it, "Well, I heard that the woman's origin is unknown, and her words and actions are strange. Maybe the injury of the prince is related to her. How can we let her treat the prince's injury!"

The military doctor also agreed, "Your Highness, Doctor Zhu is right!"

Ning Ning was too lazy to pay attention to him. "My personal soldiers have already checked it out. She is indeed from Qijia Village. She is not from an unknown place. Although her words and actions are a bit strange, she is just a weak woman after all. She should not be able to cause the rocks to slide. My injury must have nothing to do with her. Anyway, I haven't interrogated her yet, so it doesn't hurt to see what strange skills she has."

"Your Highness, please think twice!"

Zhu Xu was completely anxious. It seemed that her halo couldn't charm Ning Ning either. Then she couldn't let him meet Qi Bingqin and create any opportunities for Qi Bingqin.

She searched for it hurriedly. "Oh, by the way, look at my poor memory. There is still one pill of the medicine left. I actually forgot about it. It's all my fault for being so busy developing the antidote. I'll dissolve the medicine right now. Just apply it on your arm and it will definitely heal your injury!"

In order to prevent Ning Ning from seeing Qi Bingqin, she found a pill, dissolved it with wine, and pretended to apply the pill to Ning Ning.

"No, system, he can't be allowed to see Qi Bingqin! What if that bitch gets a higher-level halo, or has other shameful means to seduce Ning Ning!"

"What do you want?"

"This one……"

She was a little hesitant, but the military doctor was so happy that he smiled and said, "That's great. Doctor Zhu's medical skills are unparalleled in the world. With his help, Your Highness will definitely recover. I congratulate you in advance!"

Zhu Xu gritted his teeth, wishing he could cover the military doctor's mouth.

It's over. Her image as a miracle doctor was too exaggerated. It seemed that as long as she was willing to take action, there was no injury or disease that could not be cured.

There was no other way. In order to maintain her image and prevent Ning Ning from seeing Qi Bingqin, she had to cure Ning Ning.

"Your Highness, don't worry. After you apply my medicine, I will give you a few more acupuncture treatments to help the medicine run, and you will be cured."

She smiled sweetly at Ning Ning, but Ning Ning was unmoved. "Does it take several acupuncture treatments? But Qi Bingqin just said that she could cure me right away. Why don't I let her try?"

"No, a witch like her might be able to perform some kind of witchcraft!"

"But, I have to train the troops, and this hand injury is really inconvenient. I still--"

"Your Highness, I can heal you!"

Zhu Xu's voice broke as he was so anxious that he called the system, "Quick, I'll pay you 10 points, and you help me heal Ning Ning's arm."

"Okay, no problem."

A subtle white light seeped out from Zhu Xu's hand, enveloped Ning Ning's right arm, and then the white light slowly dissipated.

Ning Ning felt that the pain in his right arm had completely disappeared. He clenched his fist tentatively and found that he could use strength in his right arm.

He pulled his right arm out of Zhu Xu's hand, stretched it a bit, and threw a few punches. "Yes, my injury has healed. Doctor Zhu is worthy of his reputation!"

The military doctor was completely unaware that anything was wrong, and he smiled and congratulated Ning Ning, saying that with the help of Dr. Zhu's medical skills, the epidemic could be cured as soon as possible.

Zhu Xu's smile was somewhat forced. This cost another 10 points. She had already spent a lot of points in order to get into the military camp. It really hurt!

"System, what's going on? Ning Ning even believed that a broken bone could heal immediately, which means he is not unaffected by the halo. Then why does he seem to have no interest in me?"

"This...I can't figure it out either."

As they were murmuring, they heard their personal guards come in and report that the military tents were not enough.

The military doctor also said, "The soldiers infected with the disease must be separated and housed separately. You brought back quite a few people this time, so I'm afraid there won't be enough tents."

Ning Ning waved her hands impatiently, "Why bother me with such trivial matters? We are all grown men, there is no need to be so particular. If there are not enough tents, can't we just squeeze in?"

"That's true," the military doctor nodded, "I'm afraid Dr. Zhu will have to bear some grievances and can no longer live alone in a military tent."

"what?"

Zhu Xu's expression changed. "No, I... I'm not used to living with others!"

Ning Ning raised her eyebrows. "Didn't Doctor Zhu say that you travel around the world all year round, and even go to the mountains to collect herbs. You have encountered all kinds of harsh environments. I'm afraid that sleeping in the open air is a common thing for you. Are you afraid of living with others? Do you dislike us rough guys in the army?!"
