At this moment, aside from Ji Yunshu, there was no one on the ship who understood medicine.

Much less anyone who understood medical principles!

Wen Che’s brows were tightly locked, his heart pounding with extreme anxiety!

Shu Tian, seeing the urgent situation, said, “Young Master, even at the fastest speed, it will take one or two hours to reach Qiaoshi Town. The Second Young Master probably can’t hold on, he…”

They couldn’t wait!

Before the last three words could be spoken, Wen Che made his decision. “Alright! Miss Ji, I trust you. Please help us.”

“Mm!”

Ji Yunshu nodded. Actually, she had no confidence in her heart either, but thinking about how Muruo had handled this kind of situation back then, she had a rough idea.

So she followed Muruo’s method, copying the gourd to draw the ladle!

“Bring the candle.”

Shu Tian quickly brought over a lit candle!

Ji Yunshu took out a silver needle, heated it over the candle flame, then located the acupoints and inserted the needle into Wen Yu’s arm and the back of his hand. She inserted several more needles in succession behind his ears.

To see if there was any reaction!

Pairs of eyes all watched.

Waiting!

After a short while, they saw the blood from Wen Yu’s wound gradually stop.

His eyeballs also moved, and his fingers twitched a few times!

Ji Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Wen Che asked, “How is it?”

“Don’t worry. Young Master Wen should be fine now.”

“That’s good.”

Ji Yunshu collected those needles and had someone fetch clean water to wash his wound properly. Then she opened those bottles and containers one by one, sniffing at each bottle opening with her nose. After confirming which medicine could be used to treat sword wounds, she sprinkled it on Wen Yu’s wound!

She wrapped it carefully with gauze!

“The wound should be fine now. Once we reach shore, find a good physician to examine him and prescribe some medicine to take.”

Wen Che bowed to her. “Thank you, Miss Ji.”

Ji Yunshu said, “I also just went by feeling. Young Master Wen need not thank me.”

“This great kindness—the Wen family will remember it for a lifetime. In the future, if Miss has any matter, just give the word.”

She smiled, not knowing what to say.

But Wen Che’s face suddenly changed, and he began coughing.

Ji Yunshu asked, “Are you alright?”

“It’s just a chronic illness, nothing serious.”

“I see you have qi deficiency. It seems you have a problem with angina.”

“Miss has good perception. It is indeed angina—a lingering ailment from ten years ago. I can only manage it, not cure it completely.” Wen Che sighed helplessly.

If Muruo were here, perhaps he could cure you!

This kind of illness, Ji Yunshu naturally couldn’t treat.

Seeing that Wen Yu was now fine, she didn’t stay any longer.

After saying a few words of instruction, she left.

Wen Che sat by the bedside, looking worriedly at the unconscious Wen Yu, praying, “A’Yu, you absolutely cannot have any mishap.”

Shu Tian said from the side, “Young Master, your health isn’t good either. I see the Second Young Master is fine now. Why don’t you go rest for a bit?”

“At a time like this, how could I possibly rest?”

“Young Master…”

Knowing he couldn’t persuade him, Shu Tian could only give up.

After a moment, Wen Che suddenly asked, “Do we know whose people those black-clad figures actually were?”

Shu Tian’s eyes tightened, and he shook his head. “Before coming, I already ordered people to search those black-clad figures thoroughly, but we found nothing. It seems they’re the same people who pursued and attacked the Second Young Master in the Nansai Desert before!”

“The same people?”

“However…”

“However what?”

“This subordinate feels their objective this time wasn’t aimed at the Second Young Master.”

When Wen Che heard this, he asked, “What do you mean?”

Shu Tian said, “When those people boarded the ship, they didn’t go directly for the Second Young Master but were searching for something on the ship.”

Wen Che’s palm suddenly tightened, his eyes narrowing. “You mean their real objective… was Prince Jing’an’s remains.”

“It should be!”

“But exactly whose people are they? Why would they come for Prince Jing’an?” Wen Che pondered, then suddenly had a revelation. “I understand.”

Just then, Yi Wei’an entered.

He said as he came in, “Prince Jing’an’s remains haven’t been damaged. I’ve already secured them. Once the ship docks, we’ll find a coffin.”

Wen Che nodded. “That’s good.”

Yi Wei’an looked at Wen Yu on the bed and asked, “How is Master Wen?”

“He’s fine now.”

“Who exactly sent those people? Every sword strike was aimed to kill.” Yi Wei’an still ground his teeth with anger.

Wen Che’s tone was ice-cold. “They came for Prince Jing’an.”

“What?”

“Let’s go outside to talk.”

Several people went out.

The ship sailed rapidly on the river.

Yi Wei’an asked urgently, “What exactly is going on?”

Wen Che analyzed for him, “Someone wants to use Prince Jing’an’s remains to harm my Wen family. If something happened to Prince Jing’an, the Emperor would hold us accountable, and our Wen family would naturally suffer disaster.”

Upon hearing this, Yi Wei’an’s face wrinkled, and he seemed to understand something. “Who is it?”

Although Wen Che suspected it was done by the Su family, there was currently no evidence, so he couldn’t say. He just shook his head. “This… I’m afraid we’ll have to wait until we reach Yanjing to investigate thoroughly.”

Yi Wei’an sighed heavily. “This time we really must thank that lad surnamed Luo. If not for him, Prince Jing’an’s remains would have been soaked in water. He also helped save Master Wen. So General Wen, we must properly thank him.”

“That’s only natural! This great kindness is like saving the Wen family’s life. As long as it’s within my power, whatever he wants, I will certainly give it to him.”

…

Ji Yunshu returned to where Luo Yang and Xiao Ba were.

As soon as she sat down—

Luo Yang asked, “How was it? Did that fellow surnamed Wen die?”

Ji Yunshu gave him a withering look. “His life force is strong—he didn’t die!”

“His life really is strong. He couldn’t die even from this.”

“His life was also saved by you. You also saved that corpse. Luo Yang, do you know—you didn’t just save a person, nor just a corpse.” Ji Yunshu’s words had hidden meaning.

“What do you mean by that?”

Ji Yunshu told him, “That corpse is a noble personage, a benefactor who can help you! If you had pushed it away at that time and let the flood soak it, you would certainly have died. But now that you stepped forward to save it, naturally good fortune has also come. That Young Master Wen will properly thank you.”

“Really?”

“I naturally wouldn’t deceive you.”

Xiao Ba’s eyes lit up. “Brother, those people are so rich. This time let’s just ask them for a sum of silver, then find a good place to settle down. We’ll open a steamed bun shop.”

Xiao Ba had always been thinking about his steamed bun shop.

Luo Yang smiled, rolled his eyes, and calculated, “They released snakes to bite us, and this young master didn’t hold it against them. I even saved them. This transaction must be properly settled.”

He had to make a big score!

As for the identity of that corpse, Ji Yunshu didn’t directly reveal it.

Two hours later, the ship finally docked.

Qiaoshi Town wasn’t large—even smaller by half than Jiahe Town. There was only one inn that could accommodate so many people.
