So, Leng Ruo Li took out her needle and thread again and diligently stitched up Leng Jin Yu's wounds on his back.
She had no time to bother with how the two military doctors by her side viewed the various strange items Leng Ruo Li took out from her sleeves.
However, these two military doctors were very observant. Although they were both very curious, neither of them spoke to ask.
Half an hour later, Leng Ruo Li finally finished stitching up Leng Jin Yu's wounds on his back. Then, she applied some anti-inflammatory ointment to him before she breathed a sigh of relief.
Jun Mo Han thoughtfully brought a cup of water for Leng Ruo Li to drink a few sips.
"Li'er, is Father-in-law alright?" Jun Mo Han asked Leng Ruo Li with concern.
"If he doesn't develop a fever next, his body should be fine. In a moment, have Ye Wu and Xiao Cheng guard Father. We'll ask those few deputy generals in the military camp what exactly happened in the military camp these past few days," Leng Ruo Li said sternly.
"Alright!"
Jun Mo Han nodded in agreement.
After speaking, Jun Mo Han had the two military doctors in the tent withdraw, and then he called Xiao Cheng and Ye Wu, who were guarding the tent entrance, to come in and guard Leng Jin Yu.
The purpose of their doing this was to prevent anyone in this military camp who harbored ill intentions towards Leng Jin Yu.
After Leng Ruo Li and Jun Mo Han had arranged matters for Leng Jin Yu, they both walked out of the main tent.
As soon as the Cold King and his consort walked out, they saw a group of soldiers still gathered outside the tent.
When they saw Leng Ruo Li and Jun Mo Han emerge, they quickly bowed to the Cold King and his consort, and then they asked Leng Ruo Li:
"Consort, how is the Great General?"
"This Consort has already treated the Great General's wounds. You don't need to worry."
Leng Ruo Li reassured everyone.
"This Consort and the King are most eager to know what exactly has happened in the military camp these past few days?"
As soon as she said this, everyone instantly fell silent.
After a moment of contemplation, it was Xu, the Great General's trusted aide, who stepped forward and sighed:
"Your Highness, Consort, a few days ago, rumors began to spread from somewhere that our current Emperor..."
As Deputy General Xu stammered the words after "Emperor," he glanced at Jun Mo Han's expression but still dared not speak.
"Speak boldly, this King pardons you!"
Upon hearing this, Jun Mo Han's expression turned serious.
"The rumors say that the current Emperor's ascension to the throne was not legitimate, and that he, he does not possess the true Imperial Seal." Deputy General Xu said, emboldened.
In fact, the reason he dared to step forward and speak out the rumors was because he had a life-and-death bond with Leng Jin Yu in the bamboo forest before, and he also had some acquaintance with the Cold King and his consort. Otherwise, he would not have dared to speak.
"Imperial Seal?"
When Leng Ruo Li and Jun Mo Han heard these four words, their faces instantly became solemn. Subsequently, they thought that someone had deliberately leaked the secret of the Imperial Seal's disappearance.
The couple exchanged a glance, quickly turned around, and then Jun Mo Han said to Deputy General Xu and the assembled soldiers: "The current Emperor is the Son of Heaven personally designated by the late Emperor when he was alive, and the true Imperial Seal has always been in the Emperor's hands. This King does not know where you heard these rumors? Can you tell me?"
After he finished speaking, everyone was silent for a moment.
Jun Mo Han's cold gaze swept fiercely over everyone.
Later, with Deputy General Xu's instigation, several soldiers slowly stepped forward and said.
A: "Your Highness, Old Li told me."
Jun Mo Han: "And who told Old Li?"
Old Li: "Ah Gan told me."
Jun Mo Han: "Who is Ah Gan?"
B: "Your Highness, I am Ah Gan!"
...
Jun Mo Han continued to question them one by one. Finally, he found the source of the rumor. It turned out that the mastermind behind the spread of the rumors was the Deputy General Yang who had assassinated Leng Jin Yu. To avoid attracting the attention of other deputy generals in the military camp, he started spreading rumors from the military mess hall.
This was because only the cooks in the mess hall could go out to purchase supplies once every three days. If they brought back rumors from outside and spread them, no one would find it strange.
Therefore, Deputy General Yang, who understood the various situations within the military camp, took advantage of this loophole and spread the news of the Imperial Seal's loss throughout the military camp.
But how did Deputy General Yang know about the disappearance of the Imperial Seal? The person behind him was the true mastermind.
"Deputy General Xu, how many rebels did Deputy General Yang lead out of the military camp?" Jun Mo Han asked in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, Deputy General Yang defected with three thousand cavalry and fled the military camp," Deputy General Xu replied truthfully.
Jun Mo Han's eyebrows furrowed again upon hearing this number.
"Who has Deputy General Yang met recently?" Jun Mo Han asked.
"Your Highness, the Great General has set extremely strict regulations for our military camp, and our departures must be clearly registered before we can leave the military camp. And during this period, Deputy General Yang has no record of leaving the military camp. He should not have met anyone outside the military camp, right?" Deputy General Xu scratched his head and said.
"No, Your Highness, one night a few days ago, this subordinate saw Deputy General Yang go to the small grove south of the military camp. At that time, I thought Deputy General Yang was going to see his girlfriend there, so I secretly followed him. As a result, I saw Deputy General Yang talking to an old man. At that time, I also heard Deputy General Yang call that person 'Master.' Later, I vaguely heard them mention 'Gui Gu' or something."
At this moment, a small soldier from the crowd suddenly spoke.
When Jun Mo Han and Leng Ruo Li heard "Gui Gu," they immediately thought of someone.
"My good man, are you sure you saw correctly?" Jun Mo Han wanted to confirm again.
"Your Highness, this subordinate is sure."
The small soldier replied with certainty.
"Very well, after this matter is resolved, this King will definitely have the Great General reward you handsomely," Jun Mo Han promised him.
Upon hearing Jun Mo Han's words, the small soldier beamed with joy. He immediately knelt down and bowed to Jun Mo Han.
"This subordinate thanks Your Highness!"
"Get up!"
Jun Mo Han waved him off.
But just then, Ye Wu suddenly came out of the main tent.
"Your Highness, Consort, the Great General has woken up and wishes to see you," Ye Wu said to the Cold King and his consort with a bow.
"Alright, we'll go in immediately," Leng Ruo Li replied quickly.
She and Jun Mo Han immediately hurried into the tent.
When Leng Jin Yu saw the Cold King and his consort enter, he struggled to raise his arm and beckoned to them.
"Li... Li'er, you... come here!"
Leng Jin Yu said with a slightly open mouth and a hoarse voice.
"Father, don't rush to speak. Tell us anything when your body is better," Leng Ruo Li said to comfort him.
