Chapter 145: The Sickly and Descendant Vice Admiral vs. the Destitute Noble’s Daughter (StarCraft) (
The two returned home, and it seemed that Eli was determined to take care of everything related to Jiang Zheng starting from the moment he got the cake. Even if Jiang Zheng wanted to drink some water, Eli would feed her himself as long as he was at home.
One day, Jiang Zheng went downstairs and saw a lot of medicine on the table. She flipped through them and found that they were medicines for treating the spiritual sea.
"It should be Eli's."
Eli's most serious injury came from his spiritual sea.
[Brother Tong, can you help me check if there is anything wrong with these medicines? ]
It has been nearly half a year since Eli retired from the battlefield, but the injury to his spiritual sea does not seem to have healed. Instead, he has been suffering from drowsiness in recent days. Thinking of that battle that everyone regarded as a command error, Jiang Zheng couldn't help but feel more worried.
【The medicine is fine.】
Jiang Zheng was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but was frightened by the next sentence from the system and stood there in shock.
[But eating them together is fatal! ]
Jiang Zheng fumbled with the medicine bottle in her hand and didn't even know when Eli would come back until she felt a warm body hugging her from behind.
"What are you looking at? You're so absorbed in your thoughts that you didn't respond even after I called you two or three times."
Eli lowered his head and bit Jiang Zheng's soft ear, leaving a red mark on her neck before he finished.
"Eli." Jiang Zheng called him.
"I'm here. What's wrong? You look so sad. Who made you angry?" Eli thought that the Jiang family had come to bully Jiang Zheng again, and he was already thinking about how to kill them.
"Who prescribed this medicine for you? How long have you been taking it?" Jiang Zheng turned around, leaned on Yi Lai's chest, looked up at him, and said seriously: "Besides drowsiness, have you felt any other discomfort recently?"
Eli was stunned for a moment. He tilted his head to look at the medicine bottle that he had forgotten to put away on the table. His eyes darkened. He did not answer Jiang Zheng's question, but asked another question, "What's wrong, Zheng?"
"Do you know that taking these medicines together will cause problems?" Jiang Zheng's eyebrows were full of anxiety. "These medicines are fine when taken separately, but if you take them together, your spiritual sea will be destroyed sooner or later!"
At this moment, Jiang Zheng finally confirmed one thing.
The failed battle might not be as simple as it seemed. The seriously injured Eli was poisoned by drugs, which might be an act of silencing by the person behind the scenes.
Unexpectedly, Eli's expression did not change at all. Instead, he rarely smiled when he heard what Jiang Zheng said.
"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Zheng asked, blinking.
Eli laughed for a long time before he stopped. He reached out and hugged Jiang Zheng tightly, "I laughed at my little rose, she really likes me~"
"You..." Jiang Zheng shuddered, and a flash of light suddenly flashed through her mind, "Did you know that there was something wrong with the medicine a long time ago?"
A trace of annoyance flashed across Eli's face, as if he didn't expect Jiang Zheng to guess it so quickly.
As soon as Jiang Zheng saw Eli Lai's expression, she knew that her worries were completely unnecessary. She punched Eli Lai angrily and ran to sit on the other side of the sofa, looking like she didn't want to pay any attention to Eli Lai. Eli Lai had to coax her for a long time before she calmed down.
It turned out that Eli discovered the abnormality of the drugs after he first found himself suffering from drowsiness, but he did not alarm the enemy. On the surface, he was taking these drugs every day, but he had stopped taking them privately long ago. As for the slow recovery of his spiritual sea, it was also because it was inconvenient for Eli to find a trusted doctor for treatment. The problem of his spiritual sea could only be healed by himself, which delayed it for so long that Jiang Zheng became suspicious.
"Do you suspect someone is plotting against you?"
"It's not suspicion, it's certainty." Eli is not a fool. He can tell whether the battle was caused by his mistake in command or someone else's conspiracy. "It's just that there is no evidence for the time being."
At that time, there were only two people left who were concerned with this battle, one was Oberon, who was promoted to general, and the other was Cisse.
Cisse was once Eli's lieutenant, and he was also the one who passed on information for him in that battle. Eli later lay on the hospital bed and thought for a long time. If he guessed correctly, the person with the problem was Cisse, but now Cisse had obviously become Oberon's man, and with the protection of the Missis family, Eli really couldn't do anything to him for a while.
"Then you can't delay the problem of your spiritual sea!" Due to the changes in their own gene chain, the interstellar people have fewer white blood cells, and their self-healing ability is not as strong as that of the ancient earthlings. If they delay without treatment, sooner or later one day their spiritual sea will completely collapse. "How about this, I know how to treat the spiritual sea. Tomorrow I will go to the medical building to purchase related machines and medicines. If anyone asks you, you can say that there is a problem with my spiritual sea, okay?"
"Can you heal the injuries to the spiritual sea of consciousness?" Eli asked.
"Yes!" Jiang Zheng said.
In fact, she doesn’t know how to do it, but it doesn’t matter, as long as the system knows how to do it!
Then Eli laughed, "I really married a treasure!"
[Favorability +5, current favorability 45. ]
……
The next day, Jiang Zheng went to the medical building to buy medical equipment, but she couldn't buy some controlled drugs. Just as she was worried and wondering how to get these drugs, she met a doctor, Egg.
When Egg heard that she wanted to buy medicine to treat the injury to her spiritual sea, he immediately wanted to persuade her to go to the hospital for treatment, but Jiang Zheng fooled him with a half-true and half-false reason. Egg and Jiang Zheng hit it off immediately, and they found a place to sit down and discuss methods of treating the spiritual sea of consciousness, and they had a great time chatting.
On this day, Eli and Oberon happened to be out on a mission together, and they happened to see this scene when they passed by the medical building.
"Hey, Eli, isn't this your new wife? How come she is chatting so happily with others and ignores you?" Oberon said gloatingly.
Eli also saw two people chatting happily on the other side, and his expression was a little gloomy.
As long as Eli is unhappy, Oberon is in a good mood.
"Oh, isn't it because you are infertile and unable to satisfy her that Miss Jiang is having an affair?"
Eli remained silent, but Oberon became even more aggressive.
"How pitiful! A young lady from the Jiang family broke off the engagement on the spot, and then a young lady from the Jiang family finally got married to you, but she didn't want you anymore. Our Lieutenant General Eli is really... so pitiful!"
Jiang Zheng was recording the treatment method Egg mentioned, but suddenly heard the system's report in her mind. She turned around and saw Eli standing not far away. Jiang Zheng quickly waved to him.
Oberon saw this scene and thought it was a good show of confrontation between the two. He still provoked: "Elai, it's better to face the reality as soon as possible. Miss Jiang is willing to marry you, so you should be grateful. Just pretend you didn't see this kind of thing!"
Oberon felt even happier when he saw that his mortal enemy, who once dominated him, was being cuckolded by his new wife.
Eli, you are very proud, but now you have been cuckolded in public. I wonder if you will have the face to face the people of the Third Army in the future!
"What didn't you see, Admiral Oberon?" While the two were talking, Jiang Zheng walked over and stopped in front of them, asking with a smile.
