Chapter 46 I will never let you go
Before Chu Siheng could even step out of the hall, he suddenly collapsed to the ground, his limbs trembling uncontrollably, and he looked extremely pained.
"Let me go, Siheng... Siheng is dying... I'll do whatever you say, please save him, please save him!"
Lu Zhaoxue called out in a deep voice, and the violence in Chu Huaiyu's eyes slowly subsided. Lu Zhaoxue struggled desperately to pounce on Chu Siheng, but Chu Huaiyu only tightened his grip on her.
Lu Zhaoxue pounded on Chu Huaiyu like a madwoman, but Chu Huaiyu wouldn't let go, his cold eyes fixed on Chu Siheng, who was trembling on the ground.
Chu Huaiyu felt that Chu Siheng should have died long ago; he had tolerated him for four years... a full four years...
Just then, a palace servant heard the noise inside the hall and curiously went in to see what was happening. He was so frightened by what he saw that he trembled all over and immediately knelt down.
Chu Huaiyu gave the palace servant a sinister look, then picked up Lu Zhaoxue in his arms and said to the servant, "Go and have someone send Chu Siheng back to Jingyou Garden, and arrange for the imperial physician to go and treat him!"
"Your servant obeys the decree."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhaoxue finally couldn't hold on any longer, her vision went black, and she fainted.
"Zhaoxue... Zhaoxue!"
...
Lu Zhaoxue felt dizzy and disoriented. Extreme pain spread from the bottom of her heart, flowing through her blood and throughout her body. Tears fell silently from the corners of her eyes like beads from a broken string.
Chu Huaiyu quietly watched Lu Zhaoxue, reaching out to wipe away the tears on her cheeks one by one. During the time Lu Zhaoxue was unconscious, she kept calling out Chu Siheng's name.
A cold smile crept onto Chu Huaiyu's lips.
"Please...don't hurt Siheng...don't hurt him...please..."
Chu Huaiyu held Lu Zhaoxue's hand tightly and whispered in her ear, "Lu Zhaoxue, you are mine, mine alone! I will never let you go!"
As if hearing Chu Huaiyu's words, Lu Zhaoxue trembled again, "Please... let her go..."
"Lu Zhaoxue, as long as you behave and stay by my side, I might consider letting Chu Siheng go..."
Chu Huaiyu's eyes were unfathomable, and he held Lu Zhaoxue's hand tightly, refusing to let go for even a moment.
Suddenly, Eunuch Wei stepped forward, indicating that he had something important to tell Chu Huaiyu. Only then did Chu Huaiyu slowly release Lu Zhaoxue's hand and carefully place her hand under the covers.
Chu Huaiyu stepped out of the hall, looked up at Eunuch Wei, and asked in a calm tone, "What is it?"
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Medical Academy just came to report that Chu Siheng is now out of danger," Eunuch Wei respectfully reported.
"I understand. You may leave now."
Not long after, the palace maid serving Lu Zhaoxue suddenly rushed out and said that she had suddenly developed a high fever. Upon hearing this, Chu Huaiyu's face darkened, and he hurriedly turned around and went into the hall.
Looking at His Majesty's anxious expression, Eunuch Wei sighed softly to himself.
Chu Huaiyu sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed on Lu Zhaoxue's flushed face. He gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, his movements revealing a tension he himself was unaware of.
The imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Academy naturally dared not slack off in the slightest; Chu Huaiyu's actions were a silent command.
The imperial physicians took turns standing guard outside the bedchamber, coming in every half hour to check the patient's pulse and change the medication, fearing that the slightest mistake would bring about their death.
The hall was filled with the smell of medicine, and the candlelight shone brightly all night, illuminating the woman's furrowed brows in pain on the bed, as well as the complex and unreadable expression on the man beside her.
