The heated brick bed in the room was warm.
Mu Lianxiao leaned against the couch, his back pressing against the brick bed, and sighed comfortably.
Although moving around was no longer a problem, he still couldn't straighten his back completely.
The military doctor couldn't pinpoint what was wrong either, which made Mu Lianxiao a bit anxious. He had tried several times to forcefully straighten his back, but the pain left him breathless, as if his chest was about to split.
Du Yunluo felt sorry for him and wouldn't allow him to push himself. She softly advised him to wait until they reached Tong City, where Imperial Doctor Xing could have a proper look and perhaps identify the issue.
Mu Lianxiao agreed with her, and for this journey, they had arranged the carriage so that he could recline or lay prone with his legs bent. Only then did they set off from Shanyu Pass.
