Chapter 237 Shen Baoqing Returns

Spring goes and autumn comes, and another year has passed.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Shen Baoqing returned.

It happened that Jiang Yueyao did not go to Qianweilou that day. Because her wedding date was approaching, her mother kept her in the embroidery room and asked her to follow the embroiderer to embroider a few pairs of insoles for Lu Sui.

She finished embroidering a piece and was very tired. She was just looking for an excuse to go out for a walk when Jinzi suddenly ran in in a hurry.

"Girl, it's not good."

Jiang Yueyao didn't take it seriously at the time and didn't even raise her head: "What's wrong?"

"The big girl is back."

Big girl?

Jiang Yueyao was stunned for a moment, and when she finally realized that the 'big girl' referred to Shen Baoqing, she immediately jumped up from the stool.

She threw the insole in her hand and ran out.

"Shen Baoqing is back?"

"Yes." Jin Zi followed her, "The eldest lady was seriously injured. The master has gone to the palace to ask for the imperial physician."

Jiang Yueyao braked suddenly.

She looked at Jin Zi, thinking she had misheard: "What did you say?"

"The young lady was carried back. I didn't go into the house, I just took a look from outside. The lady was crying. I think she must have been seriously injured."

Jiang Yueyao's heart tightened, and she ran towards Mingyue Tower where Shen Baoqing lived.

The distance from the Embroidery Tower to the Mingyue Tower was not short, so she ran into the Mingyue Tower in one breath without stopping.

Just as he was about to enter the house, he ran into his brother Shen Linchuan who came out.

Shen Linchuan's face was stern and he strode out.

Jiang Yueyao felt something was wrong, so she pulled him back and asked anxiously, "Brother, where are you going?"

Shen Linchuan said nothing, shook off her hand, and walked out quickly.

Jiang Yueyao's heart became heavier. She looked at Shen Linchuan's leaving figure, turned around and entered the house where Shen Baoqing lived.

As soon as I entered, I smelled a strong smell of blood.

Coupled with the sound of her mother crying, Jiang Yueyao, who was already timid, felt her legs go weak.

She forced herself to walk into the inner room, and as soon as she entered, she saw Shen Baoqing lying motionless on the bed.

After not seeing her for two years, she had lost a lot of weight and her body was covered with many strips of cloth. Red blood was seeping out of the white strips. Her eyes were closed and her face was frighteningly pale.

Jiang Yueyao walked over, stood at the head of the bed, and looked at everything in front of her in disbelief.

She left a letter and followed Xuan Ji of Xiangguo Temple. She was gone for two years. She had received a few letters from her in the meantime, but the letters stopped six months ago.

I thought she was free and happy out there, with the person she loved.

Who knew he would be injured like this.

Jiang Yueyao used trembling hands to probe under her nostrils, and felt a faint breath, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing her mother lying on the bed, crying and shaking all over, she squatted down, raised her hand and gently stroked her back, saying softly, "Don't be afraid, mother. Sister will be fine."

Bai Jinyu hugged her in her arms and cried bitterly.

"My good child went out and came back like this."

Jiang Yueyao also hugged her, comforting her while looking at Shen Baoqing.

My heart ached, my eyes reddened, and tears just fell.

To her, Shen Baoqing was first her best friend and then her closest sister.

Such a lively and bright person, went out well, but came back lying down, and now was injured like this. Not to mention Bai Jinyu as a mother, even she... felt heartbroken.

Who did it?

But no matter who it is, there will be a price to pay.

Shen Huaishan came back soon, followed by an old imperial physician and a female medical officer.

Jiang Yueyao hurriedly helped her mother out of the inner room and sat on the soft couch in the outer room.

After crying for a while, Bai Jinyu's emotions calmed down.

Jiang Yueyao stood beside her, listening to the noise inside. She heard the conversation between the imperial physician and her father, and when she heard the words "Although there are many wounds, none of the lungs are damaged. It is a blessing in disguise."

She and her mother breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"But the area at the back of her head is very difficult to deal with. There's blood clots in it. I can only use silver acupuncture to see if I can dissolve the blood clots."

Shen Huaishan’s deep voice came: “What if it can’t be dissolved?”

"Other symptoms may appear... such as forgetting things and people, or becoming dull and slurred..."

Everyone in the room felt their hearts sink, but now they were lifted up again.

Jiang Yueyao stayed with her mother until the female medical officer treated Shen Baoqing's wound and applied medicine. The old imperial physician finished the acupuncture and walked out of the inner room exhausted.

Bai Jinyu hurriedly stood up and went to greet him, looking anxious.

"Doctor Zhao, how is my daughter now?"

"At the moment, her life is not in danger. As for the rest, we'll wait and see when she wakes up tomorrow."

After hearing these words, Bai Jinyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll leave Xing Man here. She's my apprentice and her medical skills are pretty good. She'll stay here to look after Miss Shen. You can rest assured."

"Thank you very much."

Shen Huaishan went to see off the old imperial physician.

Jiang Yueyao helped her mother into the inner room.

Shen Baoqing, whose wound had been treated, looked better. Female medical officer Xingman was disinfecting the silver needles she had just used. When she saw them come in, she stood up.

Bai Jinyu didn't care about her. As soon as she entered, she sat on the edge of the bed and held her daughter's hand tightly.

Jiang Yueyao took a look, then whispered softly to Xingman: "Just do your thing, don't worry about us."

The other person looked at her, nodded slightly, then sat down and continued to finish the work in his hands.

After finishing the tidying up, Jiang Yueyao called Feicui, the maidservant who served her mother.

"Aunt, please arrange a place for Miss Xingman to stay."

"yes."

Feicui led Xingman out. Jiang Yueyao stood by the bed, thinking about the old imperial physician's words...

Shen Baoqing's most serious injury was not on his body, but on the back of his head.

She squatted down and looked carefully at the back of Shen Baoqing's head. The big bruise almost occupied the entire back of the head, which was shocking to look at.

Shen Huaishan came back soon.

He stood by the bed, looking at his eldest daughter lying unconscious in bed with serious injuries. After a moment of silence, he asked Jiang Yueyao, "Where is your brother?"

Jiang Yueyao shook her head slightly.

"When I first came here, I happened to see him going out. He looked very unhappy. I guess he was going to ask Xuan Ji for an explanation."

Shen Huaishan took a deep breath and said angrily: "What explanation can he give? Xuan Ji is even worse than your sister. He can only breathe in but not out."

Jiang Yueyao was shocked.

"Daddy, what's going on?"

"On their way back to the capital, they encountered bandits. If my people hadn't arrived in time, they wouldn't be here now. They would have been killed and reincarnated long ago."

Jiang Yueyao suddenly remembered the year when she left Sucheng and encountered bandits with Sulan and Aunt Chun.

If Lu Sui had not arrived in time, she would have been reincarnated as a human by now.

I think he's over two years old...

"The bandits are so hateful!" she gritted her teeth.

"Yes." Shen Huaishan's face was calm, "So Daddy has asked for permission. After your sister wakes up, he will go to Black Tiger Mountain in person."
