Chapter 244: Hemorrhage
“Master, that Li Sanmao is still kneeling outside.”
In Zhu Ming Residence, Xie’er reported to Doctor Du, who was wearing an outer robe over his clothes.
Doctor Du sighed.
He recognized this woman. Just now, when Xie’er came in and woke him up to report, he put on his clothes and was preparing to come out to see the patient, but he knew right away upon hearing.
Wasn’t that the one who had been poisoned with Poison Gu that he examined not long ago?
Because she was unusually fat, he had a very deep impression of her…
Calculating the days, it was about time for the poison attack. He had already reminded her back then that she needed to find a wizard who could detoxify the Poison Gu to save her life. Why hadn’t she gone yet?
Or had she not found one?
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to save her, but he didn’t have that ability. Her body was already in the terminal stage like withered wood; perhaps a professional Gu master could still save her life.
Ever since he saw her last time, he had been researching this aspect, fearing that she would come back to him when the poison attacked, and yet it still happened…
“His head is almost knocked broken. He says that if you don’t save him, he’ll die outside Zhu Ming Residence!”
“Sigh, call him in! Take them to the front hall.”
“Yes.”
Doctor Du welcomed them in. Upon seeing the bloodstains all over her lower body, he immediately cursed Li Sanmao harshly!
“How do you act as a husband? Don’t you know what kind of condition your wife is in? And you still let her get pregnant?”
“What? Pregnant?”
Li Sanmao was baffled. When did his wife get pregnant? How come he didn’t know?
“Hmph! Her body originally couldn’t sustain a child. You should have known she had miscarried before. She came to see me last time, and at that time her blood deficiency was already severe!”
“Today it’s a hemorrhage!”
“What? Hemorrhage?”
“Xie’er, quick, go prepare the materials for clearing the palace and treating hemorrhage…”
“Yes, Master!”
“Did you experience any jolting on the way here earlier?”
There was jolting; one was that Li Daqiang was driving the cart for the first time and wasn’t familiar with it, and two, they couldn’t afford to care about that in order to hurry.
Doctor Du had an “I knew it” expression as he observed the patient.
“Her body can’t take any more suffering. I wonder if she fainted from some shock?”
“This… at that time I wasn’t by her side. I just argued with her a few words, and when I came back, she was like this…”
“Sure enough, you!”
Doctor Du sighed, “Tell me everything that happened before her attack one by one, and any other symptoms…”
Li Sanmao told him truthfully.
“Your wife, last time I already told her, she was poisoned with Poison Gu, her life is not long!”
“What? Poison Gu? Doctor Du, what did you say?”
Li Sanmao couldn’t believe it… “What is Poison Gu? Why would someone put Poison Gu on her?”
“Did she not tell you?”
“She was born with it in her body. As for the specifics, wait until I examine your wife, then let her tell you later!”
Doctor Du sized up the man in front of him. Did this woman not trust her husband?
How could she not tell him something so important? Not important now, they couldn’t worry about that anymore. As her man, he must know.
Li Sanmao recalled that time on the street when she joked with him, saying she was poisoned with Poison Gu and was going to die. He thought she was joking with him.
It was real? How could this be…
Thinking of the recent scenes, he wished he could slap himself hard, and his hands actually did it following his thoughts.
“Enough, beating yourself like this is useless and will interfere with my treatment. You all go out first and let this old man diagnose her quietly! As for the result, hmph! Prepare yourself mentally!”
“What? No, Doctor Du, you must treat her well. I’ll pay any amount.”
“Hmph! What do you take this old man for? Saving lives and helping the injured is my duty. If I can save her, of course I will. If I can’t, it’s her fate! Get out!” Doctor Du flicked his sleeve and drove them out.
Li Sanmao paced anxiously outside, praying to the gods in the east.
As long as his wife woke up, he’d do anything.
Luo Zhi’er’s thoughts drifted and drifted, her body floating lightly far away.
She didn’t know where she drifted to. She wanted to go home, back to find Grandmother. By now, she felt no pain in her body at all.
She didn’t know how much time passed, but she felt herself pass through darkness and enter a woman’s body, with cold and heat alternating around her.
Had she come back?
But why couldn’t she move? Her eyes wouldn’t open either.
Hm? She vaguely heard someone murmuring softly by her ear?
Calming down to listen, it was a man, talking about his feelings for her…
Hoping she would live and be with him forever and ever, hehe!
She could feel how gentle he was, his voice so magnetic. Being by his side felt so good, very relaxing and safe. She felt like she was going to fall asleep again…
Pat!
A drop of warm tear fell on her left cheek. Was he crying?
She could feel his warm thumb brush over her tender face, wiping away that teardrop…
Then teardrop after teardrop fell on her face…
Li Xi’er was extremely curious. Was there really such a man in this world who was heartbroken for his lover?
“You, don’t cry.”
She wanted to say it, but couldn’t.
Unavoidably, she thought of Li Sanmao. Would he shed tears for her?
At this moment, she couldn’t describe the feeling, but her heart felt very heavy and stuffy…
She wanted to escape from that home right now, never see him again. The only one she couldn’t bear to leave was Miaomiao.
“Can, time flies. It’s been over two years since you left… But for me, every day without you feels like a year, every day is so long…”
Can?
Why was he so heartbroken? Can must be his lover, right?
This man was crying his heart out. For some reason, Li Xi’er’s heart ached uncontrollably, wanting to lift her hand to comfort him, but it was like a thousand-jin press on her, she couldn’t move at all…
“Hua Can, no, hehe, it’s Linglong. I’m getting married, do you know?”
“I originally planned never to marry again in this lifetime, but…”
“Your homeland is in trouble, and Feng Lan Kingdom also intends to be on good terms with your Si Kingdom. Your father and you hope for peace regarding the war, right? I hope my marriage alliance can have a deterrent effect.”
“So I agreed. For me, I just want to go back to those carefree days in Jue Lun Kingdom practicing martial arts with you.”
“If not for you still having a breath left, I wouldn’t have held on this long. I haven’t apologized to you yet, haven’t gotten your forgiveness. I really hope to wake up tomorrow and hear you call me brother, then we roam the mountains and rivers together, study techniques, visit brothels, see the world’s great rivers and mountains… Didn’t you say you wanted to go to Dongli Kingdom? Let’s go together…”
“Master, time’s up.”
A servant reported.
“Good, take good care of her. Tell them to protect the Water Fire Dragon Pearl well, no more mistakes, or bring their heads to see this general.”
“Yes!”
During his time in Dongli Kingdom, Feng Qingcheng suddenly received an urgent summons from Emperor Your Majesty, and the Water Fire Dragon Pearl protecting Hua Linglong’s body was stolen, so he hurried back nonstop.
Fortunately, he found it back in time.
