Chapter 260 I hope this thing is the most annoying
Three days.
Three full days and three nights.
The door of the Regent's bedroom was never opened again.
The food that was delivered was brought out untouched and had already lost its temperature.
Xiao Yu paced back and forth in the corridor outside the door, muttering to himself.
"Three days, Xuanyi, three whole days." He grabbed Chu Xuanyi, who had just returned from outside, his eyes bloodshot. "My cousin hasn't eaten or drunk anything. Even if he's made of iron, he can't stand it."
Chu Xuanyi's face was equally exhausted. He glanced at the closed door and shook his head, "He won't."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Yu asked anxiously, "Will he be okay? Look at him now. His soul has gone with Ah Jiu. He's like a living dead. I'm afraid... I'm afraid that he'll collapse before those miracle doctors arrive."
"He won't let himself collapse," Chu Xuanyi's voice was low, but extremely firm. "Before he finds a way to save Jiu, he wants to live more than anyone else."
Because of the same fate curse.
As long as he is alive, Jiu's body will not really die.
Chu Xuanyi did not say this cruel explanation, but Xiao Yu understood it instantly.
He closed his eyes in pain and punched the pillar next to him. "What the hell is going on? What the hell is going on?"
"Young Prince."
At this moment, the palace steward came running over, with an indescribable excitement on his face, "Here...here, the Divine Doctor Sun from Jiangnan is here."
"What?"
Xiao Yu grabbed the butler by the collar and said, "Where's the person? Hurry, bring him in."
"Already...already waiting in the front hall."
"What are you waiting for? Please come here quickly." Xiao Yu was so anxious that he almost jumped up.
As soon as he finished speaking, a leisurely voice came from the other end of the courtyard.
"No need to ask, I have grown legs and can walk."
The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man slowly walking out from behind the Moon Gate.
The old man was completely different from the miraculous doctor that Xiao Yu had imagined.
He was wearing a loose-fitting coarse linen shirt that had been washed so much that it looked pale. On his back was a tattered bamboo medicine box that was about to fall apart. He had a tuft of goatee on his chin, which he was playing with in his hand.
He looked like an old doctor from the countryside, even a bit sloppy.
The only thing that was different was his eyes.
Turbid, yet surprisingly bright.
"You...you are Doctor Sun?" Xiao Yu looked at him, his tone full of suspicion.
"Why, not?" The old man glanced at him and snorted, "I'm here to save people, not to participate in a beauty pageant. Where are the patients?"
"In...inside." Xiao Yu pointed to the closed door.
Doctor Sun didn't say much, just walked over and raised his hand to push the door open.
"Wait." Chu Xuanyi stepped forward and stopped him.
"What's wrong?" Divine Doctor Sun looked at him impatiently. "You have so many rules in this palace. If you delay any longer, you might even cause the death of a living person."
Chu Xuanyi ignored his complaints and reminded him in a deep voice, "Your Highness...is in a bad mood. Please be careful with your words and actions after the Divine Doctor goes in."
"Oh."
Doctor Sun was actually happy to hear this.
He looked Chu Xuanyi up and down, his eyes filled with a hint of amusement, "Master Imperial Master, are you trying to teach me how to treat illnesses?"
He pointed at his nose and said, "I've saved more people in my life than you've ever seen. So many people were in a bad mood. Some cried and begged me for help, and some held a knife to my neck and asked me to save my life. Can your prince be more powerful than them?"
After saying that, without waiting for Chu Xuanyi to answer, he pushed open the door and walked in swaggeringly.
Chu Xuanyi frowned but did not stop him.
Talented and extraordinary people often have quirks.
As long as he really has the ability, let alone just being rude in words, even if he wants to demolish the palace, now is not the time to make a fuss.
The room was dimly lit, with heavy curtains blocking out all sunlight.
There was a dull and oppressive atmosphere in the air.
Xiao Yu sat on the edge of the bed, his back to the door, motionless, like a petrified statue.
Doctor Sun walked in and didn't even go to see the patient on the bed first. Instead, he looked at Xiao Yu's back with interest.
He stroked his goatee and clicked his tongue twice.
"young people."
"The death energy on you is much heavier than that of the little girl on the bed."
Xiao Yu's body stiffened slightly.
But he still didn't look back.
Doctor Sun didn't care. He walked to the bed and put the worn medicine box on the ground.
He first glanced at Ajiu's face on the bed, then stretched out two skinny fingers and placed them on her wrist.
After a moment, he withdrew his hand, and his expression became serious for the first time.
He took out a silver needle as thin as an ox hair from the medicine box and gently pricked Ajiu's fingertips.
A drop of blood slowly seeped out.
The blood drop was bright red, and in the dim light it even emitted a strange glow, full of vitality.
Doctor Sun's pupils suddenly shrank.
He stared at the drop of blood for a long time, then turned over Jiu's eyelids and looked at it carefully.
After doing all this, he let out a long sigh.
Xiao Yu finally moved and slowly turned his head.
The face that was once so handsome that it drove all the women in the capital crazy was now horrifyingly pale and haggard, with deeply sunken eye sockets and dark stubble on his chin.
"How." He began.
Doctor Sun looked at him with pity in his eyes.
He did not answer directly, but asked, "Your Majesty, may I ask you a question, how did this little girl end up like this?"
Xiao Yu's lips moved, but no sound came out.
Seeing this, Chu Xuanyi outside the door immediately recounted in a deep and concise voice what had happened in the imperial mausoleum.
After listening, Doctor Sun was silent for a long time, so long that Xiao Yu almost couldn't help but rush in to urge him.
Finally, he spoke again.
"Your Majesty, let me give you an analogy."
"This girl's body is like a perfectly built house. It is strong, warm, and has everything it needs. It is even better than any other house in the world."
"But the owner of this house is not at home."
He looked at Xiao Yu's eyes that were gradually losing focus and said, "Not only is she not at home, she even locked the door from the inside with her own life."
"Your Majesty."
Doctor Sun stood up and bowed deeply to Xiao Yu.
"I can cure any disease in this world."
"But there are fates in this world that I cannot heal."
"The girl's bodily functions are intact, as if she were alive, but her soul and spirit are gone. No medicine can cure her, and I... am powerless to help."
These four words again.
There's nothing I can do.
Xiao Yu did not get angry, did not roar, and did not even say another word.
He slowly turned his head to look at the person on the bed, raised his hand and gently stroked Ajiu's cold cheek, his eyes empty.
Xiao Yu outside the door couldn't bear it anymore.
"Quacks, they're all a bunch of quacks." He roared in a low voice, tears streaming down his face. "What a rubbish miracle doctor! If they can't cure it, they just say they can't. Why are they making so many excuses?"
As he spoke, he was about to rush in, "No, I have to go in and take a look. My cousin...he will die in this state."
