"Give me medicine... Cousin, I beg you... I'm in so much pain!"
Su Muyan curled up in Zhao Ju's arms, her whole body convulsing, and her nails scratched bloody marks on Zhao Ju's arms.
Her face was pale, her clothes were soaked with cold sweat, her eyeballs were bloodshot, and her whole body was shaking as if her soul was being torn apart.
Zhao Ju hugged her tightly.
In the past, Zhao Ju didn’t think that Saishenxian was such a disgusting drug. As long as it was used freely, it would be an elixir that would make people feel like they were in heaven or dying.
But now, Su Muyan was suffering in her underwear because she looked like a god, and he felt that thing was more terrifying than the evil spirits in hell.
He regretted almost every day that he had used drugs to control the woman he loved.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his arm. Zhao Ju groaned and looked down to see Su Muyan biting the flesh on his arm with her mouth open, blood dripping from the corner of her lips.
Zhao Ju gritted his teeth and let her bite like crazy.
Maybe it was his indifferent attitude, or maybe Su Muyan was tired of biting.
She let go and cried, "Cousin, please, give me the medicine... I'll do anything you ask me to do... Please..."
"Yan'er, your health is not good enough for you to take medicine anymore." Zhao Ju explained softly.
Su Muyan didn't listen at all: "Why! If you don't give me the medicine, just kill me... I'm in so much pain... Please kill me..."
She cried out at the top of her lungs, and finally her eyes went dark and she passed out.
Zhao Ju felt that the body in his arms was like a puppet whose life was suddenly drained away, and his heart began to panic.
Zhao Ju shouted in a hoarse voice: "Doctor! Call a doctor!"
The maid waiting outside the house quickly responded, "Yes," and turned to call the doctor.
After a while, an old doctor came over hurriedly with a medicine box on his back.
Seeing the doctor enter the room, Zhao Ju hurriedly made way.
The old doctor concentrated on taking her pulse. After a moment, he said solemnly, "Madam's pulse is weak and her body is very frail. If this continues, I'm afraid both the mother and the child will be in danger!"
Zhao Ju grabbed his collar, his eyes bloodshot, and said, "I don't care what method you use, you must keep the adults and children safe!"
The old doctor was frightened by his violent aura and trembled slightly. He sighed helplessly and said, "Given the lady's current condition, we can either use ginseng soup to keep her alive until she gives birth... or, abort the baby now and save her life."
The doctor's words made Zhao Ju's heart tighten uncomfortably. Feelings of regret and guilt instantly choked his throat, making him not know how to speak.
Suddenly he kicked over the medicine box and yelled, "Waste!" It was unclear whether he was cursing his own stupidity or the old doctor's incompetence.
Zhao Ju looked at the broken medicine bottles and herbs on the ground, and his heart ached uncontrollably.
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Get out!"
The old doctor knew that Zhao Ju was a violent and moody person. If he went crazy, he would do anything.
Now facing such a situation, he is not far from going crazy.
The old doctor didn't dare to stay any longer, so he bowed hurriedly and left.
The atmosphere in the house fell into dead silence again. The servants were hiding at the door and guarding it. No one dared to come in.
Zhao Ju slowly and heavily walked to the bedside, knelt before it, and stroked Su Muyan's increasingly thin face with trembling fingers. Her once bright face was now haggard, with sunken eye sockets and pale lips.
"Yan'er..." he whispered, his voice hoarse, "What should I do..."
The person on the bed had his eyes closed and was unable to respond to him.
If Yan'er knew that she was pregnant, she would definitely get rid of the child without hesitation...
His heart felt as if it was on fire, and Zhao Ju drooped his brows in dejection.
After a long silence, Zhao Ju suddenly stood up and walked out.
Walking out of the Zhao family mansion, he came to the tallest attic in the city and stood on the roof looking at the boundless and raging flood outside the city.
The rainstorm had long since stopped, and the muddy water swallowed up the villages and farmland. Broken wood debris floated on the water, and occasionally a swollen corpse could be seen floating up and down with the waves.
Yan'er's health could not be delayed any longer. Zhao Ju was hesitant. If he took Yan'er back to the capital, with the current strength of the Zhao family, maybe Yan'er's health could be restored.
Suddenly, his attention was attracted by a group of people at the dock.
A regal official ship docked. A woman emerged from the ship, dressed in a vibrant crimson gown. The gold medallion at her waist gleamed brightly in the sunlight. Behind her followed dozens of sword-wielding guards, their presence awe-inspiring.
Zhao Ju's pupils suddenly shrank. The princess had arrived so soon!
At the city gate, the princess got off the boat and saw the city full of refugees.
She went straight to the gate of the government office in the city, and soon the prefect in official robes came out to greet her respectfully.
Zhao Ju quickly chased after him and observed from the dark.
When he saw that the woman next to the princess was Wen Luoxin, he was shocked.
News came from the capital that Wen Luoxin had disappeared a long time ago. Who would have thought that the princess had kept her by her side?
The princess has always been close to the two ladies of Marquis Xiao's mansion, but Wen Luoxin has a deep hatred for those two women. Now Wen Luoxin has followed the princess to the northwest.
Could it be that...
When they were in the capital, was the relationship between them just a decoy?
If this is the case, Qi He and Xiao Hou Mansion are in cahoots with the princess, then the princess's power cannot be underestimated.
No, this news must be sent to the capital quickly!
