Chapter 259 Even the best doctor in the world cannot save a person who is heartbroken
The lights in the Regent's Palace remained on all night.
When Xiao Yu entered the palace gate holding Ajiu's cold body, he was greeted by deathly silence.
All the servants knelt down in unison, not even daring to raise their heads.
"Cousin."
Xiao Yu quickly followed, his voice full of worry, "You...you hand Ah Jiu over to the servants first, I will help you to treat your wounds."
Xiao Yu walked straight towards his bedroom without any pause.
"Bang."
With a loud bang, the bedroom door was kicked open by him.
The candlelight in the room was swaying wildly in the strong wind, making his bloodless face flicker.
He carefully placed Jiu on his large bed.
"go."
"Get some water."
The maid guarding the door shuddered all over and ran out crawling.
Soon, basins of warm water were brought in.
Xiao Yu rolled up his sleeves and began to wipe Jiu's cheeks and hands.
Xiao Yu and Chu Xuanyi stood at the door, watching the heartbreaking scene in the room, and no one dared to go forward to disturb them.
"Xuan Yi," Xiao Yu's eyes were as red as a rabbit's, and he lowered his voice, "Tell me...what is this?"
"He was fine a few days ago, even fighting with me for the last piece of osmanthus cake. How come he suddenly..."
He couldn't continue.
Chu Xuanyi patted his shoulder, his face equally pale, "Don't think about it for now, even if the sky falls, someone has to hold it up."
He glanced at the man in the room who seemed to have lost all his soul, and sighed, "Go, get the best imperial physician in the palace, as well as all the famous doctors in the capital, and invite them all to my house, no matter what method they use."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Xiao Yu turned around and left immediately.
"Wait." Chu Xuanyi called him again.
"What's wrong?"
"Send another team to investigate." Chu Xuanyi's eyes turned cold. "Investigate the black-robed high priest, the organization behind the virtuous king, and all the clues related to this matter. There must be a solution for Ah Jiu's situation. I don't believe they can do it perfectly."
"I understand." Xiao Yu nodded heavily and left quickly.
The night is getting deeper and deeper.
In the bedroom, Xiao Yu had already wiped Jiu's body and changed him into clean pajamas.
He sat quietly beside the bed, just looking at her.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.
"Your Majesty."
It was the palace steward's voice, with a hint of panic, "President Li from the palace... is here to be invited."
"Let him come in." Xiao Yu said coldly.
Soon, an old man with silver hair and wearing official uniform walked in tremblingly, carrying a medicine box.
He is the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau and the most skilled doctor in the entire Daxia.
"Your humble servant... pays homage to His Majesty." Judge Li knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
He had already roughly understood what had happened from Xiao Yu, and at this moment he just felt his scalp tingling.
Something happened to the beloved child of the Prince Regent.
If this can't be cured...
Judge Li didn't dare to think any further.
"Stop talking nonsense," Xiao Yu's eyes still didn't leave Ajiu's face, "Go see her."
"Yes, yes."
Court Judge Li quickly stood up, walked to the bedside, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and placed three fingers on Ajiu's wrist.
At this, his brows instantly twisted into a knot.
"Huh?"
He couldn't help but let out a light exclamation.
Xiao Yu's empty eyes finally moved and slowly moved to his face.
Li Yuanpan felt a chill in his heart when he saw that look. He quickly calmed his mind and investigated more carefully.
But the more he investigated, the weirder the expression on his face became.
"How about it."
"Reply... reply Your Highness," Judge Li knelt down again with a thud, his voice changing. "This young lady... this young lady... she's not sick."
"Are you sick?" Xiao Yu raised his voice slightly.
"It's absolutely true," Judge Li said hurriedly, bowing his head. "The girl's pulse is steady and strong, her breath is long, and her internal organs, limbs, and bones are completely intact. This... this body is healthier than the most elite soldiers in the army. In my entire medical career, I have never seen such a strong physique."
He was telling the truth, but this truth was more despairing than any bad news.
"I'm asking you," Xiao Yu slowly stood up, his enormous figure completely covering Li Yuanpan, "Why didn't she wake up?"
“This…this…”
Judge Li broke out in a cold sweat.
He didn't know why he didn't wake up.
This is simply the most unreasonable thing in the world.
A person is in perfect health, but he is still in a coma.
How can he treat this?
"Your Highness, please forgive me," Judge Li lowered his head even lower. "This kind of strange disease is...cannot be cured by medicine. It is...beyond the scope of medical knowledge. This old minister...this old minister is truly...powerless."
"There's nothing I can do."
Xiao Yu chewed on these four words, and suddenly a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He slowly leaned over, leaned close to Li Yuanpan's ear, and said in a voice that was almost a whisper, "You know, I really want to kill someone right now."
Court Judge Li's body began to tremble like a sieve.
"roll."
Xiao Yu straightened up and his voice returned to its cold tone.
Judge Li felt as if he had been pardoned. He ran out crawling and even forgot his medicine box, which he used to eat.
At the door, Xiao Yu just walked in with another famous doctor from Beijing.
Seeing Li Yuanpan's distraught look, Xiao Yu's heart sank instantly.
"Cousin..."
"Next." Xiao Yu interrupted him and sat back on the bed.
The famous doctor who was invited went in with courage.
A quarter of an hour later.
"roll."
Another quarter of an hour later.
"roll."
…
Overnight, the threshold of the Regent's Palace was almost broken down by the doctors in the capital.
They walked in one by one, full of hope, or rather, they were forced to do so.
One after another, they came out with pale faces and lost souls.
Everyone's diagnosis was exactly the same as Dr. Li's.
The body is fine, but the soul is not there.
Medicine cannot cure it, and even gods cannot save it.
It was not until the sky turned pale that Xiao Yu finally sent the last doctor away.
He dragged his exhausted body back to the bedroom door, and looked at the back of the person who had been sitting there like a stone sculpture all night, and his eyes became sore again.
"Cousin," he said hoarsely, "How about... you go and rest for a while, I'll stay here."
Xiao Yu didn't look back.
"If the doctors in the capital aren't good enough, I'll go find one from out of town." Xiao Yu clenched his fists. "I just don't believe there's no one in this world who can save Jiu."
"I've already sent people." Chu Xuanyi had come over at some point, his eyes dark with cyanosis. "I've sent people to invite Dr. Sun, the 'Living King of Hell' from the south of the Yangtze River, Master Zhang, the 'Ghost Hand' from the north, and the one who lives in seclusion in Kunlun Mountain. As long as they're still alive, I've sent people to invite them all."
"The fastest one will arrive in about three days."
Xiao Yu still didn't react.
He reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair from Jiu's forehead behind her ear.
