Xiao Liu stammered, looking like he was about to cry, "The young mistress refuses to come."
Lu Ziqian's face paled even more, and he said defiantly, "Who sent her? Is she here to cause me trouble?"
"I get annoyed just seeing her."
Zhou scolded, "Shut up! All you've got is a stubborn mouth."
"I don't care about her. Don't call her name while you're unconscious."
Lu Ziqian pursed his lips and closed his eyes, pretending to be dead.
Zhou asked Xiao Liu to stand up and reply.
"What did you say? Did you tell the young mistress that the general was seriously injured and unconscious, and that he was calling her name while he was unconscious?"
The man on the bed, listening to his mother's words, unconsciously blushed.
Fortunately, his high fever persisted, and his face was already flushed red, so no one noticed his nervousness and embarrassment.
Xiao Liu nodded, indicating that he had told her everything.
Madam Zhou then asked, "Did the young mistress say anything, or ask you to pass on a message?"
Xiao Liu glanced at Lu Ziqian, then hesitated and didn't dare to speak.
"To tell the truth."
"The young mistress said... said..."
"What exactly did you say? You're usually quite articulate."
"It's good that the young mistress is dead, so we don't have to get a divorce!" Xiao Liu closed his eyes and blurted it all out.
"What?"
Lu Ziqian sat up abruptly as if he had risen from the dead. He was sweating profusely from the high fever, and white smoke was rising from his head. He looked like he was about to explode on the spot.
He stared at Xiao Liu with a gloomy expression, which made Xiao Liu tremble with fear.
"It was...it was the young mistress who said it, no...it wasn't me who said it."
Lu Ziqian angrily smashed the teacup. How could she be so heartless?
Madam Zhou frowned as well. No matter how much she loved Su Yujiao, it was impossible for her to love her more than her son.
Hearing her say such harsh words now, I naturally feel uncomfortable.
Two people who were once so close have fallen so far that they've never spoken to each other again.
Zhou stood up: "I'll go find her myself."
Lu Ziqian's face was terribly gloomy: "No one is allowed to go."
"Who's going to break whose legs!"
"I mean what I say."
Looking at her son's angry and stubborn expression, Mrs. Zhou felt helpless.
The fate between these two has finally come to an end.
"Mo Shu, go and fetch the imperial physician."
"yes."
On a cold, quiet night, Xiao Tao lingered in front of Su Yujiao's door, hesitant and undecided.
Su Yujiao, who was always a light sleeper, asked, "Xiao Tao, is that you?"
"What happened?"
Xiao Tao pushed open the door, hesitated for a moment, and tentatively said, "It's news about the general."
"After Xiao Liu left in the afternoon, the butler and the two young mistresses came by. They said that the general was really badly injured."
"I was worried, so I went out to check."
"Many imperial physicians went to the General's residence, but they all shook their heads, saying that the General had fainted again and that if his fever didn't break by tonight, the outcome would be grim."
"Miss, why don't you go and take a look?"
After a long silence in the room, the door was finally opened.
"Take this to Physician Chen."
"Miss, do you know Physician Chen?"
"We discussed medical techniques together when we were controlling the plague, but it was in the capacity of Physician Su."
"After returning to the capital, I corresponded with him in my capacity as Physician Su."
Su Yujiao frowned: "He read my letter, he will go to save him."
"yes."
A wound infection can be treated with penicillin and fever reducers; how could it be so serious?
It's unclear whether Lu Ziqian was using a self-inflicted injury ruse or if the imperial physicians were simply refusing to administer penicillin to him!
She lay on the bed, irritated, deciding she had done all she could; she didn't care anymore.
The next morning, Su Yujiao left with the caravan.
She was even a little impatient, after all, she didn't know what illness Prince Xiao had. If it was an acute illness, every day of delay would increase the danger.
If she arrives only to find the person dead, her hopes will be dashed once again.
As for the Shennong Materia Medica, she has already asked Gu Heng to find another copy, no matter the cost.
As long as the original remains, the handwritten copy in Lu Ziqian's possession is of little value.
"Master, the people have set off for the Xiao Nan tribe. I'm afraid they'll be there to treat Prince Xiao's illness."
The man behind the screen fiddled with the jade thumb ring on his thumb, his tone slightly playful: "You'll go with him."
"At the crucial moment, kill Prince Xiao."
The guard looked up abruptly, thinking he had misheard.
"Master, you want to kill Prince Xiao, he is your..."
puff!
A hidden weapon pierced through the screen and struck the guard between the eyebrows.
The maidservant beside him immediately knelt down at the man's feet and gently wiped his hands with a handkerchief.
The man lifted the maid's face, examined her carefully for a while, and then sighed: "I don't like talkative people. My mute servant is much more obedient."
"come over."
The woman obediently sat on the man's lap, skillfully undressed, and let him play with her...
"Go to the Xiao Nan tribe for me."
"Hmm... um."
The man's eyes were clear, and the woman in his arms was already panting heavily from his ministrations.
"It's getting more and more interesting."
Upon waking up at the General's Mansion, Lu Ziqian instinctively searched for that familiar figure.
But he was destined to be disappointed!
Looking at the disappointment in her son's eyes, Mrs. Zhou sighed helplessly. This was all his own doing; he had no one to blame but himself.
"Stop looking, she didn't come."
"If only you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place. If you had been kinder to people back then, things wouldn't have come to this... sigh..."
"After Jiaojiao comes back, you two should get a divorce."
"It's better than torturing each other."
Lu Ziqian sat up abruptly in bed and asked anxiously, "Where did she go?"
