172 “I’m Sorry!”

“It seems that you were not lying about your medical skills!”

King Gu Han came over with a wine pot and sat beside Pei Qian. As he drank, he sized up Lin Suisui with a smile. “You’re very skilled at treating and bandaging people!”

Lin Suisui ignored him. Her attention was on the wound on Pei Qian’s shoulder.

Debridement, suturing, applying medicine, and bandaging were done in one go.

“But isn’t it a little unnecessary for you to treat his injuries now? If your husband really comes over tomorrow to exchange for the two of you as you said, he’ll die tomorrow. No matter how well you bandage him now, what’s the use?!”

King Gu Han took two sips of wine as he spoke in a gloating tone.

“So what?!” Lin Suisui didn’t look up as she busied herself. “I told you before that I’m a doctor.

Just like how you ride a horse to war, I treat people instinctively! Therefore, not to mention tomorrow, even if Mr. Pei is about to die in the next moment, I will still treat his injuries!”

“I think you’ve offended your husband quite a bit now. Even if you’re exchanged tomorrow, there’s a high chance that you won’t end up well! Why don’t…”

King Gu Han raised his head and took another sip of wine. Then, he turned around and continued to watch Lin Suisui treat Pei Qian’s wound. It was unknown if he had drunk too much, but he suddenly said to Lin Suisui, “Young lady, why don’t you follow me back to the royal palace?!

“I haven’t married yet. Follow me back and I’ll immediately get my father to let me marry you. How about that?!”

“Hiss ~”

Lin Suisui’s hand trembled. Pei Qian, who was caught off guard, almost jumped up. He turned around and glared at King Gu Han. “King Gu Han, are you crazy?!

Even if I’m injured now, I’m not dead yet!

Do you have to poach someone so blatantly?!”

King Gu Han didn’t expect Pei Qian to be so angry. He looked at Pei Qian in shock. After a long time, he said awkwardly, “Didn’t you guys break up?!”

“Who said we broke up?!” Pei Qian looked very agitated.

“It was just a small argument. How can we break up over that?!

Besides, even if I can’t get what I want, it’s not up to a barbarian like you to dream about it!”

As soon as Pei Qian said this, King Gu Han was furious. He turned around and glared at Pei Qian as he rolled up his sleeves. “Mr. Pei, so what if I’m a barbarian? I’m better than a profligate scumbag like you who only knows how to lie and coax women!”

Seeing that a fight between Pei Qian and King Gu Han was inevitable, a northern barbarian soldier suddenly crawled in from outside and knelt in front of King Gu Han. “Your Majesty, bad news. We seem to have been surrounded!”

“What do you mean we seem to be surrounded?!”

At this moment, King Gu Han couldn’t be bothered to argue with Pei Qian. He turned around and glared at the soldier who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to him. He frowned as he said angrily, “What do you mean by ‘seem’?!”

“There seem to be enemies around us. We arranged for a few guys to go over and check, but none of them returned. Therefore, we guessed that there must be people setting up an ambush!”

The soldier lowered his head. Although he was in a panic, he still spoke his mind.

“Let’s go out and take a look!”

King Gu Han picked up the machete at the side and rushed out of the Mountain God Temple with a few trusted aides around him to check the situation.

“Heh, I really didn’t expect Lu Ze to be so fast!” Pei Qian turned to look at the expressionless Lin Suisui. After thinking for a moment, he couldn’t help but ask with a smile, “How long do you want to keep up the act for, Sixth Miss Lin?!”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Lin Suisui looked calm as she glanced at the wound that had already been bandaged. With her responsibility as a doctor, she instructed Pei Qian matter-of-factly, “The wound has been bandaged. It’s best if you don’t use this arm for the next few days!

If the wound opened again, it would be really troublesome!

Of course, if you’ve already made up your mind not to keep this arm anymore, pretend that I didn’t say anything!”

“The jade bead on your neck was left behind by your mother.” Lin Suisui turned around to pack her things, but Pei Qian suddenly spoke from behind her, making her hand tremble. The medicine jar in her hand fell from her hand and onto Lu Ze’s cloak…

“You’ve always worn it since you were young.”

Pei Qian smiled and stared at Lin Suisui’s stunned expression as he added, “Therefore, I already knew your and Lu Ze’s identities at that time. I just didn’t want to expose you guys!”

“What do you want?!” Lin Suisui clenched her fists tightly and turned to stare at Pei Qian warily. She was extremely vexed. She only wanted to keep a relic for her original host, but she didn’t expect to cause her and Lu Ze such trouble!

“Shouldn’t we be thinking about how to escape first?!” Pei Qian didn’t answer Lin Suisui’s question. Instead, he turned to look at the situation in the Mountain God Temple.

Previously, about 20 personal guards had entered with King Gu Han!

However, because of the commotion outside, most of the personal guards followed King Gu Han out to investigate the situation. Therefore, there were fewer than five guards left in the entire Mountain God Temple. When they heard the commotion, they turned to look at them.

“This.” Lin Suisui took advantage of the fact that the surrounding soldiers were attracted by the people outside to take out a small porcelain bottle and show it to Pei Qian. “This thing can produce smoke if it burns.

If it burned now, it would take effect in about half an hour.

However, I don’t have the antidote now. I can only use a wet handkerchief to cover my mouth and nose to temporarily relieve the effect of the medicine.” As Lin Suisui spoke, she quickly picked up the wine pot that King Gu Han had just thrown down and poured out some strong wine to soak two handkerchiefs. She handed one to Pei Qian. “This place is too remote. If you want it to take effect quickly, you have to throw this medicine into the fire in the middle!”

“So?!” Pei Qian raised his eyebrows slightly as he met Lin Suisui’s gaze.

“Sorry!”

Before Lin Suisui could finish speaking, she had already raised her hand and slapped Pei Qian’s face. “You bastard, scumbag! Why did I fall for a scumbag like you previously?!”
