Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1094

Chapter 1094 -1088: Etched in Memory

Doctor Hong was sitting at the round table behind the screen, bandaging Murong Li’s wound. He had been injured in the right arm by the cavalry of the Tianfeng Kingdom.

Murong Li’s hand was still trembling slightly. He only realized after experiencing it that the battlefield is a place of kill or be killed. Though both his father and Ninth Uncle thought him steady, if it hadn’t been for Yue Shi today, he feared he would have perished on the battlefield.

In Murong Li’s heart, he had great respect for the Bai family who fought on the battlefield. He thought that even the youngest seventeenth son of the Bai family could go to war, and he was older and had learned martial arts from his second brother. Even if he couldn’t be invincible, he could at least protect himself.

Unexpectedly, on his first time on the battlefield, the enemy soldiers taught him a harsh lesson.

It was only then that he understood… there’s no absolute safety on the battlefield. Thinking of this… his admiration for the Bai family, for the King of Zhen, and for the Bai family’s death-defying seventeenth son only grew.

After Doctor Hong personally applied the medicine to Murong Li, he washed the blood from his hands with hot water and said, “No bones are hurt, it’s just a surface wound… It’s not serious. Go back and change the dressing properly, don’t let the wound get wet, and it will heal quickly.”

Bai Jinzhi, sitting next to Murong Li, pushed a cup of hot tea towards him, pretending not to notice his slightly trembling hand, quietly saying to Murong Li, “You’re much stronger than I am. The first time I went to the battlefield with my eldest sister, she protected me. But when we got back, I threw up terribly where no one could see. Thinking of those broken limbs on the battlefield made me so nauseous I didn’t even want to eat meat.”

Hearing the word “meat,” Murong Li’s stomach churned, but he gritted his teeth and held on, raising the tea cup Bai Jinzhi had pushed over and drinking two sips. The hot tea only intensified the churning feeling in his stomach, so he clutched his mouth and rushed outside, holding onto a lacquered pillar with his left hand as he vomited.

Seeing Murong Li like this, Yue Shi was about to get up and approach him, but then saw their master lift the cotton curtain and come out, only to kneel down again obediently.

Murong Yan was holding a cup of tea in his hands, gently patting Murong Li on the back. When Murong Li finished vomiting, he handed him the cup.

Rinsing his mouth, Murong Li straightened up, wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and called his Ninth Uncle with a guilty expression, tightly grasping the cup with his left hand, feeling utterly useless.

“It’s normal for the first time on the battlefield. Even your Ninth Uncle… even the current Emperor of Zhou felt the same when going to battle for the first time. After witnessing the harsh reality of the battlefield, you should understand that war is not child’s play, and comprehend the significance of unifying the world in peace,” Xiao Rongyan said, gently patting Murong Li’s head.

It was because Murong Yan had seen it that he understood the preciousness of peace in the world.

It was because Bai Qingyan had experienced it that Bai Qingyan understood better than anyone that achieving peace requires world unification.

Murong Li, who had been to the battlefield today, truly witnessed its cruelty and understood… when war reports come in with numbers of the dead and injured, these are not just statistics but represent the living lives of soldiers.

This was why Murong Yan allowed Murong Li to accompany him today. Words passed down orally are not as impactful as firsthand experience.

Murong Li was a highly perceptive child. Raising his head with a determined gaze, he looked at Murong Yan, “I understand, Ninth Uncle!”

“Let’s go!” Murong Yan said to Murong Li, “We must discuss military matters with the Emperor of Zhou, and you, as an emperor, cannot be absent.”

Murong Li nodded, drank the water in his cup, suppressing the turmoil in his stomach, and followed Murong Yan into the main hall.
