About Duke

"When Duke North was injured, Yinghan and I were not yet at Xinzhou. So he was transported to the clinic at Xinzhou for treatment. He has been stabilized, and transported here the day before. Yinghan checked on him and still has no idea what to do. He is still in a coma!" General Huangpu said, sounding helpless.1

However, compared to the fact that Duke North could have been captured, it was already a relatively positive situation.

General Huangpu sighed.

Gu Chaoyan nodded and suggested that they should continue their discussion whilst she would go and check up on Duke North.

Duke North survived because of her, so she was very worried about this man whom she spent effort curing.

General Huangpu's men took Gu Chaoyan to the tent where Duke North underwent treatment.

Many things were simple at war, like right now. General and ordinary soldiers could only stay in the same shabby tents.

Gu Chaoyan opened the tent.

There were some basins with coals put in the tent, giving out warmth, but that was just a little better than the ordinary tents. The conditions at the border were really bad, and there was only one basin with coals for Duke North, so that he could feel better.

Duke North looked very pale, and was still in a coma. His wounds had been handled by Yinghan.

His external wounds were fine by this point, but he had been in a coma for a long while, which was really bad.

Everyone knew about Duke North's situation except for Duke North Mansion.

Only two women guarded Duke North Mansion so if they heard the news, they would become miserable.

The King arranged for Zhou Huaijin to come to the border so she could come along. If not for this arrangement, Gu Chaoyan had had the intention of coming to the border to check up on Duke North.

"Duke North has been in a coma since he was injured. Doctor Yinghan checks on him and feeds him some medicinal soup to drink. Duke North is still alive, but he just can't wake up." The guard in the tent narrated.

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

She felt his pulse, then she checked his wounds.

He was badly injured, just like how General Liu was injured, but the reason why he was still in a coma was not because of the wounds… but… but because he was poisoned!

The blade had been laced with poison, so Duke North's wounds allowed the poison to seep into his body.

She could heal him.

It was not a very fatal poison, because the enemies did not intend to kill Duke North, but tried to take him as their prisoner.

Gu Chaoyan brought out her silver needles.

"Lady Chaoyan, can Duke North be healed?" The guard asked discreetly and expectantly.

"Yes," Gu Chaoyan said with determination.

She heard a sigh of relief.

Instead of caring about anything else, Gu Chaoyan took up her silver needles and was about to drive out the poison.

She had just removed the blanket on him, when Gu Chaoyan saw a book tightly clenched to his chest. She found it quite familiar and as she took a closer look at it, she found that the book was called the Anecdote of Saint Divine.

Gu Chaoyan's mind went blank instantly.
