323 Apology (2)
"Mhm."
Traveling Doctor Liu looked at his little disciple and sighed lightly. All of his disciples always have a lot of problems when he first met them.
"Hua'er."
"Yes, Master?"
"When the war start, I'll follow you."
"Huh?"
Nan Hua looked at her Master with a confused gaze as she rolled her sleeve back down. As far as she knew, Traveling Doctor Liu was someone who hated to get involved with wars and whatsoever. It was precisely because of this reason that he chose to leave before the war started.
But this time, it was clear that Traveling Doctor Liu wanted to break this principle of his in order to stay longer in Wind City to accompany her.
"Master, wouldn't it be better for you to…"
"Don't talk nonsense. I won't be participating in the war and only accompany you to teach you some knowledge. Of course, if they want me to heal them, they had to pay a lot of money." Traveling Doctor Liu rubbed his beard with a smile.
Shan Yu's lips twitched when he saw the expression on his master's face. He knew very well that when it was war time, Traveling Doctor Liu had exhorted a large number of people. While it was not strange for someone like him to be asked to help, Traveling Doctor Liu would prioritize his benefit during large war like this.
Thanks to that, a lot of kingdoms had suffered under his hand.
Even his disciples already felt like face palming whenever Traveling Doctor Liu participated in a big war. No matter which side he chose to help, that side would have to pay a hefty sum to him.
Thankfully there were many other doctors and some of his disciples would support their own kingdom.
There was even an event when Traveling Doctor Liu was on the right side while his disciple was on the left side. During war, it was awkward. When the war was over, the soldiers were all speechless to see the two of them talked so heartily.
Yep, this traveling doctor was notorious.
Aside from famous for his skill.
Nan Hua looked at her Master and chose not to comment. There was only warmth feeling deep inside her heart. She talked about a different matter, "Master, can I go out?"
"No, you have to rest more."
Nan Hua: "…"
She knew her body well. Since the poison was already purged out perfectly by her senior sister, she could easily walk around the area without the need to worry unable to do anything. She was not that weak.
Shan Yu chuckled. "Let us take care of you for today, Junior Sister Hua. When you recover, Junior Brother Yu would want to have a spar against you again."
Nan Hua arched her eyebrows. That senior brother of hers who tried to launch sneak attack at her back then?
It seemed that she wouldn't be able to have any peace even when she was 'sick.'
"Miss."
"What is it?"
"Her Highness Princess Yue is here and wish to meet you."
Nan Hua nodded. "Attend me."
It was impossible for one not to be polite when they were facing with the princess. The most basic etiquette would be to welcome them at the door and kowtowed to the ground to show their respect.
"Her Highness had said that you don't have to do that, Miss."
Nan Hua was silent. "I understand."
Both Traveling Doctor Liu and Shan Yu retreated to the side and kowtowed when Princess Yue walked in. However, Princess Yue didn't even listen to their greetings as she looked over in Nan Hua's direction. Her eyes flashed with guilt when she saw Nan Hua's pale face
No matter how much she disliked the other party… not that she didn't like Nan Hua. She didn't even put this young girl in her eyes previously. The only thing that she remembered about Nan Hua was the fact that this was the poor young lady who kept on being schemed by some annoying women.
Thus, she chose not to care about this 'weak' and 'inconspicuous' young lady.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for seeing you in this state," Nan Hua greeted first and bowed her head.
Princess Yue stepped forward to help Nan Hua up. She shook her head. "I should be the one to apologize for involving you in my childish scheme."
At this point of time, Princess Yue had completely given up on the thought of giving up. She heard about what would happen to her when the kidnappers got her. They wanted to disfigure her and humiliate her when she entered the palace in Zhang Xu Kingdom.
How could she stay calm when she heard that?
It was lucky that there were a lot of people who went on searching for Nan Hua and that she left behind clue for them to follow. If not for that, they wouldn't be able to find these two and their fates would definitely be worse than death.
Nan Hua might be fine.
After all, Lin Family didn't want to completely make enemies with Great General Nan and only wanted to reap some benefit. They wouldn't possibly want to fall out with Great General Nan and threatened their family's foundation.
The Nan Family was not one to be messed with without proper preparation.
But her?
She would be humiliated thoroughly and hated by both Fei Yang Kingdom citizen and also Zhang Xu Kingdom citizen because of what she did. The two kingdoms might even not follow the treaty because of her.
At that time, she would be thoroughly ashamed of what she had done.
Thus, Princess Yue knew that she had to give up.
From the very moment she was born as the princess, there was never any way out for her. She had to follow through this until the very end.
"It's fine, Your Highness."
Princess Yue looked at Nan Hua and patted her hand. A smile formed on her lips. "If you ever need any help when you visit Zhang Xu Kingdom, I'll do my best to help you."
