Gu Yun's organs were injured, combined with the recurrence of old wounds. He repeatedly broke into a fever throughout the night. The four words of 'death with everlasting regret' supported him like a large rock. The next day, he was able to climb up under the amazement of others. Drinking medicine like water, he summoned all the generals under him and listened to every war report.

When the meeting was over, Chen Qing Xu brought a bowl of medicine to him. Gu Yun drank it. He wondered if it was due to the strong collision on his head, or the explosion had hurt his ears, but those ears of his that always relied on medicine to function did not stop ringing.

Putting down the empty bowl, Gu Yun asked in the first sentence, "When did Yan Wang leave?"

Chen Qing Xu saved words as if they were gold: "Early in the third day of the new year."

Gu Yun breathed a sigh of relief — the Western Regions front was under his control. As long as Chang Geng had left, words of this matter would never reach the capital.

So far, he was at ease in both public and private matters, automatically counting the matter as a false alarm. He laughed at Chen Qing Xu and said: "I have been too eager lately and have not thought carefully, making myself to be a laughingstock."

But Chen Qing Xu did not laugh, she instead pulled over a chair and sat down, appearing to be ready to engage in a long conversation: "Marquis, I have a few words I must make clear to you."

Gu Yun was stunned.

Some doctors were quick-tempered — as soon as the patients did not cooperate even slightly, they would immediately be scolded. Other doctors were the sheep-raising type — anyone who sought them, they would be treated; if they were not willing to be treated, they would not be forced to, it was up to them if they wanted to die.

Chen Qing Xu undoubtedly belonged to the latter. No matter if Gu Yun wore the steel plate to go on the front line, or repeatedly increased the dosage of drugs willfully, she had not said anything, she had rarely ever shown such a grave look.

Gu Yun: "Miss Chen, please."

Chen Qing Xu: "There is no place in a body that is acting alone, the eyes and ears are connected with the organs. The aftermath of the Marquis' poison since childhood has continued to this day. But in this campaign, you have been injured continuously, affecting the lungs, and five of your internal organs were in a state of unrest — since the chaos in the Western Regions has been suppressed, in my opinion, it would be better for Marshal to take the opportunity of escorting prisoners of war to return to the capital to rest one or two days, otherwise..."

Gu Yun: "Otherwise, one day, even panacea or elixir, nothing will be able to cure me anymore, is that right?"
