"Yes, she deserved it, but Xin'er is a good person and shouldn't have been implicated,” Le Youran pulled Xiaoyao to a corner where several people were simply maintaining the lives of several wounded. They could only maintain life, other matters needed others to handle.
Right now, these others were all attending to more important people. The several people here were obviously not important, despite wearing imperial family clothing.
Even the Emperor's children could be unimportant, it depended on whether you could survive in this imperial palace and seize great power.
After arriving here, Le Youran released Xiaoyao's hand and went to a young lady's side, helping her up. This young lady seemed very weak, and it was certain she hadn't received treatment.
It seemed Le Youran's decision was correct. If she had waited here, she would still be waiting now.
"This is Xin'er?" Xiaoyao saw a young lady who wasn't very outstanding. Although she looked decent enough, in this imperial palace full of beauties everywhere, she appeared very, very ordinary.
"Mm!" Le Youran nodded.
"Did you deliberately find a green leaf to set yourself off?" Xiaoyao said directly. At the same time, he looked at Xin'er and saw that after hearing this remark, she only smiled palely without getting angry.
"What are you saying! We're friends, appearance is only secondary. Xin'er has an inner beauty you can't imagine. Also, she's not ugly," Le Youran said irritably.
...
...
"Mm, not ugly, a bit better looking than ordinary people. It's just because you all are too outstanding that she became a pheasant among phoenixes," Xiaoyao nodded.
"Enough, are you here to look at people or to help with treatment? Why so much nonsense," Le Youran said.
"..." Xiaoyao stopped talking, not because he was protesting silently, but because he had already begun treating Xin'er.
"The injury isn't very serious, just grazed by sword energy, but the position was slightly off. Otherwise there would be no saving her," Xiaoyao said simply. "This sword energy is quite strong. If I'm not mistaken, this was just the tail end, yet it could still injure someone to this degree."
"After saying so much, what's the situation? Can Xin'er be saved," Le Youran said urgently.
"Are you a pig? I said it so clearly, she can be saved," Xiaoyao said irritably.
"You dare call me a pig, I..." Le Youran wanted to raise her fist to hit him.
"You what you. Hurry up and help save her, or you'll be responsible for the consequences," Xiaoyao immediately said. This woman's fist was no ordinary thing, it could be called a deadly weapon. Getting hit by it meant either death or serious injury.
"Fine, save her! You're the one who pulled Nangong Suxin back from death's door, don't disappoint me," Le Youran became serious. It seemed this Xin'er was very important to her.
Xiaoyao was somewhat puzzled about why Le Youran had such good feelings toward this Xin'er. The gap between them seemed quite large. This Xin'er definitely had no status in the imperial palace, otherwise how could no one have come to treat her until now?
But thinking about it, making friends didn't need any specific reason. Perhaps two people's statuses were very different, but they could still become friends.
Xin'er's ordinariness was only in appearance, and their statuses weren't that different either, so the possibility of becoming friends naturally wasn't low.
"Don't worry, as long as they're not dead, I can save them," Xiaoyao said casually.
"Kid, aren't you talking a bit big," Someone nearby said very displeasedly. It seemed like seeing Xiaoyao and Le Youran's relationship already made him unhappy, and now hearing Xiaoyao say such "arrogant" words, he immediately mocked him.
"Shut up! You're in this state and still talking nonsense," Le Youran looked at that person very disdainfully. That person was lying on the ground, also one of those waiting for rescue. He was a prince, but not the favored type.
Although this prince wasn't favored, he was still a prince after all, so he often had contact with Le Youran. For some unknown reason, he had fallen for Le Youran, but Le Youran didn't like him much and had been rejecting him.
Unexpectedly, even while lying there, he still had to criticize Xiaoyao, which made Le Youran very unhappy.
"Youran, don't listen to this kid's lies. If he really could save anyone who wasn't dead, he'd be inside saving Father Emperor," the prince said disdainfully.
"Haha, interesting. You mean anyone who can heal should save the people inside? Don't you think you're worth saving?" Xiaoyao found this statement very funny and couldn't help laughing.
"Pfft..."
Xin'er suddenly laughed at this moment. She seemed to understand Xiaoyao's meaning, while Le Youran looked at the prince and said one sentence.
"You're indeed not worth saving. Le Xiaoyao is here to save Xin'er. You can just lie there,”
"Miss Xin'er..." Xiaoyao frowned. How should he address her? He still didn't know who she was, there were many different statuses among imperial family members.
"Miss Xin'er!" Xiaoyao could only use a common form of address. "Please relax first, no need to be nervous."
Then Xiaoyao inserted needles into several of Xin'er's acupoints, gave her a pill to take, and used Divine Farmer internal energy to heal her injuries.
Actually, with Xin'er's injuries, if Xiaoyao directly used Divine Farmer internal energy, he could also cure her. It would just take more time, and Xiaoyao naturally didn't want to spend time on this. He wanted to solve this quickly and leave.
"Hmph! Putting on airs!" the prince said disdainfully. However, his disdain couldn't last long, afterward it changed to envy, then regret.
Because he saw Xin'er's complexion becoming more and more rosy, her breathing becoming long and steady. Compared to her previous condition, there was a stark contrast. Even someone who didn't understand medicine could tell this meant Xin'er was already healing.
Finally, when Xiaoyao withdrew his internal energy, Xin'er was already standing up with Le Youran's support.
From when Xiaoyao started treatment until now, only a bit more than a quarter-hour had passed. Even the most skilled physicians couldn't heal a seriously injured person to this degree in such a short time.
Previously, Xin'er had been sustained only by medicine and others' internal energy. If that had been cut off, she probably would have died. Under such circumstances, she could now get up and walk. Although with others' support, this effect was still enough to shock everyone.
After understanding that Xiaoyao indeed had profound medical skills, the prince began to regret. He realized he might have missed an opportunity for treatment.
Now he understood that Xiaoyao wasn't putting on airs, and earlier it wasn't that he didn't dare respond, but that he wanted to let facts speak directly. Simply put, Xiaoyao couldn't be bothered to say much to him.
"Done! Le Youran, should I help look at the other wounded here?" Xiaoyao asked casually. His casual question had a purpose, otherwise he wouldn't ask this. What he wanted to ask would be when to go back.
At this moment, he was more interested in examining the traces of battle, especially those sword marks. They held great attraction for him.
From these sword marks, he could feel strong sword intent. At the same time, most importantly, he could deduce sword techniques from these marks, as long as they hadn't been repaired yet.
He believed these sword marks would be repaired soon. How could the imperial palace allow such traces to exist? Moreover, these traces were the Emperor's scars, making their long-term existence even more impossible.
"No need. Other people's matters have nothing to do with us, don't get involved in that trouble," Le Youran didn't sense Xiaoyao's thoughts and just wanted to avoid trouble as much as possible. She was also considering Xiaoyao's wellbeing.
Well, saving one life is better than building a seven-story pagoda...
Originally Xiaoyao wanted to use this excuse to explain why he could stay, because he was great, but immediately he realized he didn't need to find this excuse, because someone had already asked Xiaoyao to stay.
"Youran, why don't you let your friend stay and help? There aren't enough people now, one more person would be good," Xin'er spoke up.
"But..." Le Youran hesitated somewhat. If it were before, she definitely wouldn't hesitate and would follow Xin'er's arrangement, because Xin'er was much more important to her.
Now, although Xin'er was still much more important, Xiaoyao was also relatively important. Since she had brought Xiaoyao here, she needed to guarantee his safety. Getting involved in such an incident could be dangerous.
"It's fine. I guarantee no one will talk about today's events. I think Father Emperor wouldn't allow it either," Xin'er said. If what happened here got out, the entire Great Tang Empire might be shaken. As the empire's emperor, how could he allow such a thing?
Therefore, even if Xiaoyao did amazing things here, it wouldn't get out.
"I think I can help, but it's not for free, you're not my employers! How about this: according to my old stall prices, one tael of silver per person for consultation, then medicine and treatment fees calculated separately," Xiaoyao said.
"What kind of rule is this? This is like saying nothing, everything is up to you," Le Youran said directly. To her, one tael of silver could be ignored, but weren't the other fees all up to Xiaoyao?
"No problem. You can just tell us how much silver when the time comes. I believe no one will object, unless they don't want to recover quickly," Xin'er said.
The people lying on the ground all looked at Xiaoyao expectantly, nodding their heads frantically. At this moment, they were all seriously injured and couldn't get immediate treatment, they were suffering terribly. Getting relief quickly was their greatest wish right now, and they could pay a certain price for this wish.
What Xiaoyao wanted probably wouldn't be beyond their means.
