Chapter 102 It was as if he had contracted a life-threatening illness.

After Lu Yu's detailed explanation, almost everything she knew was restored.

That day, although no one wanted anything to happen to Yun Si, they all believed in their hearts that Yun Si was definitely going to die this time.

For a time, despair enveloped the entire Qiwu Garden.

It especially enveloped Qin Ye.

Dr. Ji used every medicine he could find, without any certainty of success, and could only wait for divine intervention and a miracle to happen.

Everyone knew in their hearts that there was no chance of a miracle, but Qin Ye refused to give up, repeatedly saying, "She can't die, heal her!"

Just when Doctor Ji was at a loss, A-Wu suddenly spoke up and said she had a solution.

However, she did not reveal this method to everyone, but only told Qin Ye.

Qin Ye shooed everyone out of the room, leaving only A-Wu inside. The two chatted for a long time.

What they talked about remains unknown.

That night, A-Wu left the palace overnight.

All everyone knows is that A-Wu went to the southern border to find a medicine that could save Yun Si's life.

When the news spread throughout the mansion, very few people actually believed it.

Putting aside the fact that the journey to the southern border is long, A-Wu herself was also injured, and it is unknown when she will be able to get the medicine back. It is also uncertain whether Yun Si will be able to wait until she gets the medicine back.

In a place like southern Xinjiang where witchcraft is rampant, what kind of medicine could possibly bring someone back to life?

Moreover, given Yun Si's condition, even the Heavenly Snow Lotus would likely be of no use.

Later, everyone learned that Qin Ye was using his internal energy to prolong Yun Si's life, and A Wu returned from the Southern Frontier in just twelve hours.

When he returned, he was covered in mud, his hair was disheveled, the bloodstains on his body had dried into hard lumps, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked like a demon who had crawled out of hell.

Ah Wu's appearance stunned everyone in the entire palace.

Did she really go to southern Xinjiang in just one day and one night?

This question inevitably raises suspicions.

Despite her suspicions, she did bring the medicine back.

She had never paid attention to her injuries; she couldn't possibly risk her life to tell a meaningless lie.

After returning from the southern border, Doctor Ji told her to wash herself clean so he could treat her injuries, but she refused, insisting that the "medicine" be given to Yun Si first.

During the medication period, Dr. Ji was also present, in addition to Awu and Qin Ye.

At the time, many people heard Dr. Ji's strong opposition, but later, the voices grew weaker and weaker until they disappeared.

On the second day after taking the medication, Qin Ye left Qiwu Garden and never returned.

But after taking the medicine, Yun Si's injury miraculously stabilized.

However, he never woke up.

Awu said it would take anywhere from half a month to twenty days.

As a result, Yun Sizhen woke up half a month later.

"You mean, Your Highness has never come to Qiwu Garden since I used Awu's medicine?"

After listening to Lu Yu's explanation, Yun Si remained silent for a long time before asking about the parts she found confusing.

"Did you see him when he left Qiwu Garden? How was he?"

Lu Yu shook her head: "This servant didn't see it. After A-Wu and Doctor Ji came out, His Highness was no longer in the room."

"Later, he never came to Qiwu Garden to see his mistress. I found it strange. Given His Highness's feelings for his mistress, why did he not appear for so many days?"

"So, Lanxin and I went to the main courtyard to inquire about the situation. The result we learned was that His Highness had been in the manor for the first three days and had not left the palace. However, I did not see him. Even Granny Qian did not see him during those three days. No one knew what His Highness was doing."

"On the fourth day, His Highness went to the palace, and after he returned..."

At this point, Lu Yu paused in his speech.

Yun Si continued for her: "After he returned, news spread that His Highness had agreed to a marriage alliance with the Jiang family."

"Um."

Lu Yu whispered to comfort her, "Your Highness, don't be sad. I believe in you. This must not have been your intention."

"If you believe him, why shouldn't I?"

Yun Si gave her a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, your mistress isn't that fragile."

After saying that, she continued to ask, "Has Your Highness not visited Qiwu Garden since returning from the palace?"

Upon hearing this question, Lu Yu's heart, which had just settled down, suddenly jumped again.

But she didn't lie and truthfully shook her head: "I've never been here."

Lu Yu and Lan Xin were puzzled, even angry.

But they were just servants, they had no right to question their masters, and could only grieve silently for their masters.

Originally, they thought that His Highness must have disliked the current appearance of the master, which was why he turned around and agreed to marry the prime minister's daughter as a concubine, without even glancing at the master.

Until a few days ago, when they happened to see His Highness, most of their speculations and doubts were instantly dispelled.

They were startled when they saw His Highness.

They could hardly believe their eyes whether what they were seeing was real.

In just a few days, His Highness had lost even more weight than the Emperor, his eyes were sunken, and he looked extremely haggard, as if he had suffered a life-threatening illness.

They went to Granny Qian to ask what had happened to His Highness.

Granny Qian shed a string of tears, saying that she didn't know what was wrong. It was probably because she was worried about the princess, and since her own injuries hadn't fully healed, and she had also used up her internal energy to prolong the princess's life, she had become so haggard.

Upon hearing this, the two women immediately felt guilty, realizing they shouldn't have doubted His Highness.

His Highness's current condition is thanks to Granny Qian's efforts in nourishing his body in various ways, and his cooperation has finally helped him recover some of his strength.

After asking the last question, Yun Si fell silent and didn't speak for a long time.

"Master?"

Lu Yu glanced at her worriedly, thinking that she was saddened that His Highness had not come to Qiwu Garden to see her. He wanted to say something to comfort her, but found that he couldn't find a suitable reason at all.

Why isn't Your Highness coming?

This is truly baffling.

Because I'm busy?

Your Highness used to be busy, and even when you came back in the middle of the night, you would always rest at Qiwu Garden.

And now...

Lu Yu really couldn't understand it.

"I'm fine."

Yun Si noticed Lu Yu's worry and explained, "I was just thinking about something. By the way, when did A Wu leave the Prince's mansion, and did she come back during that time?"

"I've come back many times."

Speaking of A-Wu, Lu Yu's face showed a mixture of relief and heartache.

Both Ah Wu and Lan Xin witnessed everything Ah Wu did for her master.

No one has done more or better for their master than Awu.

Both she and Lansing felt inferior to her.

“Awu brought the medicine back and gave it to her master. Only after her master’s vital signs stabilized did she finally leave to treat her own injuries.”

"Dr. Ji said she's crazy, but she's a crazy person made of iron."

"She seemed to feel no pain. She had two bloody holes in her body, and the blood was almost gone. In this situation, most people would have died long ago, but she didn't. After the blood stopped flowing, it stopped on its own, and the wounds clotted. The funniest thing was..."

Even now, when Lu Yu talks about these things, he still finds them unbelievable. Besides feeling sorry for her, he also feels a little bit of admiration.

Ah Wu is amazing.

"The funniest thing?"

Yun Si frowned and asked, "What is it?"
