Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 586

Chapter 586 All I Need Is Peace of Mind
Yun Xiao was woken up by Jiang’er an hour and a half later. After waking up, Yun Xiao looked at the sky and her expression changed slightly. “Why did you wake me up now?”

Jiang’er said with a guilty expression, “This servant has taken the initiative to not allow the maidservant to wake up the princess. Please forgive me!” Seeing that Yun Xiao’s complexion had improved a little, Jiang’er was relieved. The main reason was that Yun Xiao’s previous complexion was truly too frightening.

Seeing Jiang’er kneeling on the ground, Yun Xiao sighed softly and said, “I don’t blame you. Get up.” Jiang’er also did it for his own good. Moreover, after sleeping for a while, Yun Xiao felt that her body was much better than before.

Jiang’er saluted Yun Xiao for a while before she stood up and waited to dress Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao’en said, then said, “How is the battle outside now?” Judging from Jiang’er’s expression, she could already guess that it shouldn’t be too bad. Otherwise, Jiang’er’s expression would definitely not be like this.

“The turmoil in the city has been completely suppressed. Those who were knocked unconscious by the drug have already been imprisoned. There is no problem. The Dark River is also guarded by someone. However, the Emperor is not optimistic. However, Lord Jiang has already come to help.”

“Lord Jiang?” Yun Xiao’s mind was still a little confused at this moment, and she couldn’t react which Lord Jiang it was.

“General Jiang Li,” Jiang’er cautiously reminded.

“Is that so?” Yun Xiao had heard of Jiang Li’s prestige, and when she heard Jiang’er say that he had come, she heaved a sigh of relief.

However, Yun Xiao was still a little worried. She thought for a moment before asking, “How are the casualties outside now?”

“Reporting to the princess, according to the news, there are 5,000 casualties among the soldiers guarding the city. Among them, more than 1,000 have died and more than 800 have been seriously injured.” Thinking of this, Jiang’er’s expression became extremely embarrassed. She did not expect that so many casualties had already occurred not long after the war.

Especially since there were only 30,000 soldiers guarding the city. Now, there were actually more than 5,000 casualties. Now, there were only more than 20,000 people left. These 20,000 people would not be able to hold on for long. If they did not come to rescue, the entire border city would be destroyed in one fell swoop.

Hearing so many casualties, Yun Xiao frowned tightly. Then, she struggled to get out of bed, put on her outer robe, and whispered, “Take someone with me to the side of the tower to take a look.”

Jiang’er wanted to persuade her, but seeing Yun Xiao’s resolute expression, she could only swallow the words that came to her mouth. She immediately had someone bring the supper that she had prepared for Yun Xiao. Since Yun Xiao came back, her meals were useless. The frontlines had begun to fight, and she had been busy until now.

Seeing the bowl of hot noodles brought over by the maidservant, Yun Xiao did not say anything. She immediately picked it up and began to eat quickly. She had been busy all day, so much so that she had forgotten that she had not eaten yet. However, from this, it seemed that Jiang’er, the maidservant, was also very careful.

Yun Xiao chuckled and said, “Jiang’er, you’ve been tired all night. You should rest for a while and have a little snack. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.”

Jiang’er immediately shook her head, “This servant is not tired.” Although she also felt a little tired at this moment, compared to Yun Xiao’s exhaustion, this kind of exhaustion was not enough for outsiders at all.

Yun Xiao shook her head and continued to ask the maids to cook a bowl of noodles for everyone in the palace who had contributed tonight. At the same time, she also cooked more soup and, if possible, more pasta.

Jiang’er did not understand why Yun Xiao would let the maidservant do this, but she did not stay by Yun Xiao’s side for a day or two. She naturally knew that no matter what Yun Xiao did, she had her own considerations. Immediately, she did not continue to ask,

In short, trusting the princess’ words was always correct.

The maidservant quickly instructed Yun Xiao and prepared a bowl of steaming noodles for Jiang’er. Jiang’er originally planned not to eat, but when she saw Yun Xiao’s gaze, Jiang’er immediately nodded.

Yun Xiao likes to chew carefully and swallow slowly when eating, However, Jiang’er didn’t have much to worry about. After eating two bowls of noodles in a row, Yunxiao finished her meal. She took Jiang’er out quickly and asked the maids and granny in the palace to bring the pot and stove along. She also prepared some firewood and brought a lot of food. She also brought along the noodles and soup that she had prepared earlier.

Everyone didn’t know what Yun Xiao was planning to do. They all stared at Yun Xiao with leisure. However, when Jiang’er saw such a big posture, she somewhat understood what Yun Xiao was going to do. She was inexplicably moved.

Before leaving, Yun Xiao did not forget to instruct the guards in the palace to bring all the medicines in the pharmacy that could heal wounds.

A group of people arrived at the city gate. Yun Xiao looked at the many soldiers lying on the ground below the city gate. A few military doctors were running around to bandage the wounds of the soldiers. However, the military doctors were limited after all. The bandaging speed was too slow.

Yun Xiao frowned after looking at it. There was a strange expression on her face. She instructed the maidservant behind her with an embarrassed expression, “Now, you are all divided into two teams. Some of you will dress your wounds and stand on the left side, not on the right side.”

As Yun Xiao’s voice fell, the maidservant and granny behind her quickly separated and stood.

As for the spectacular scene on Yun Xiao’s side, it naturally attracted the attention of the soldiers under the city wall. They looked at Yun Xiao curiously, not knowing what Yun Xiao wanted to do.

Now, the news that Yun Xiao had used one person’s strength to split up all the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had already spread amongst the crowd. They thought that Yun Xiao would be a fierce looking person. Even if she wasn’t, she was still taller. Now that they saw everyone saluting to Yun Xiao, they immediately recognized her identity.

Therefore, when everyone saw Yun Xiao, a strange look flashed in their eyes. They guessed what Guild Leader Yun Xiao looked like, but they did not expect Yun Xiao to be so petite and kind.

The stunned soldiers didn’t regain their senses until they heard an unperturbed cough. They stood up to salute Yun Xiao. At the same time, they were even more curious, why did the princess bring so many maids and granny here?

After all, on the battlefield, swords and blades were blind, and it was the world of men. What could this group of women do?

Seeing that all the soldiers were about to get up, Yun Xiao immediately frowned and said loudly, “You are all injured. There is no need for such a big bow!”

Although Yun Xiao said this, the etiquette of these soldiers was still not small. They all saluted in Yun Xiao’s direction and greeted him.

Yun Xiao could not stop him, He had to let these soldiers quickly sit down, He then said, “Soldiers, You are here to defend your country, To protect the old, the weak, the women and the children, As helpless women, We can’t kill enemies on the battlefield with swords in hand, “The only thing I can do is to prepare some food for the soldiers and bandage your wounds. After all, dressing your wounds earlier can sometimes be equivalent to saving a person’s life. I heard in the palace that our side has suffered heavy casualties, and my heart is uneasy. That’s all I can do. All I ask is to be at ease.” If he didn’t do anything, Yun Xiao would have trouble sleeping and eating.

Because Yun Xiao’s body was weak, even though she deliberately amplified her voice, it was still not too loud. Even so, everyone heard it.

For a moment, Everyone bowed gratefully to Yun Xiao. Yun Xiao frowned, but she couldn’t stop him. Let the maidservants who didn’t know how to bandage their wounds first be divided into two rows. One row was to build a pot stove, and the other was to bring soup and some noodles to the wounded. Because the whole journey was packed in wooden barrels, it was still hot and could be drunk right now.

As for those maidservants and maids who had said that they would bandage them, they were led by Yun Xiao to ask the military doctor for advice on how to bandage them, and they did not immediately begin to do so.

After learning it twice and having some foundation, it was very simple to bandage the wounded.

With the help of these maidservant ladies brought by Yun Xiao, the bandaging speed was much faster. Some lightly injured soldiers were handed over to the maidservant ladies for bandaging, while some seriously injured ones were handed over to military doctors for bandaging.

After Yun Xiao bandaged up one of the wounded, she took a bowl of soup from the maidservant and handed it to the soldier. She said softly, “Drink some soup first and rest for a while. Soon, it will recover.”

Seeing that Yun Xiao’s face was full of kindness, the soldier shed tears of gratitude for a moment. He hurriedly stood up and bowed to Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao only waved her hand and whispered, “There’s no need to bow. I just did what I could.”

After Yun Xiao finished speaking, she continued to bandage the wounds of the next soldier.

Her actions also increased the morale of the soldiers fighting at the city gates. This time, the more soldiers fought, the more courageous they became. For a moment, their decadent momentum was slowly reversing.

The fainter Yun Xiao’s expression became, the more she kept bandaging people. Not long after, a maidservant walked to Yun Xiao’s side and said with a worried expression, “Princess, looking at the sky, it seems like it’s going to rain.”

Yun Xiao raised her head to look at the sky. In the pitch-black night sky, there was not a single star. The sky was so gloomy that it seemed like it could rain at any time.

Yun Xiao frowned. Right now, there were many injured people under the city wall. If it rained, the wounds they had bandaged would be useless. Thinking of this, Yun Xiao frowned. “Find some soldiers who were slightly injured or resting to build a simple canopy.”

When her voice fell, someone immediately went down to execute it.

Seeing the maidservant walk far away, Yun Xiao’s body gently shook. Her spirit was somewhat weak, and she almost fell down.

At this moment, Yun Xiao’s body was immediately supported by a small hand. Rong Ruo circled in front of Yun Xiao. Her palm-sized soft and waxy little face was now filled with caution, and her pair of obsidian-like eyes were even more bloodshot. He looked at Yun Xiao with disapproval and said softly, “Mother, you are not well, why don’t you rest properly in the palace?”
