"You mean she refused to make house calls?" Prince An looked at Lu Yi beside him, seemingly lost in thought.
Lu Yi was already used to his master's unpredictable mood, but at this moment he couldn't help but secretly lament: What should we do!
He carefully observed Prince An's expression, trying to glean some clues from that calm face.
“Yes, Your Highness. Doctor Meng said that something happened to Young Master Li, and she can’t leave…” Lu Yi finished speaking with a forced smile, then lowered his head to wait for Prince An’s reaction.
Time ticked by, and the air seemed to freeze. Finally, Prince An slowly spoke, "I understand. You may leave."
Lu Yi breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been granted a pardon, and quickly bowed and withdrew.
After he left the room, he realized that his back was soaked with cold sweat.
Meanwhile, Prince An remained seated inside the room, motionless, his gaze deep and unfathomable, as if he were contemplating something important…
Li Xi was injured? He thought that Meng Zhelan had been avoiding him these days because she was unhappy with his marriage to Xuan Qing.
He never imagined that he had been deluding himself. How should he explain to her that there was actually a hidden reason behind the marriage agreement?
But now it seems that he misunderstood her meaning.
He began to reflect on whether he had been too confident and self-righteous, and whether he had truly understood Meng Zhelan's inner thoughts.
How can I explain to her the truth behind this engagement? After all, it involves too many complex factors and interests.
However, on second thought, perhaps Meng Zhelan didn't care about the engagement at all! Maybe she didn't have any romantic feelings for him at all.
In that case, wouldn't all my worries seem superfluous and ridiculous?
Thinking of this, Prince An's mood grew even heavier.
"Men, prepare the horses!"
In Tingfeng Courtyard, Shen Xu had just come out from Li Xi's place.
Seeing the person unconscious, he could only worry helplessly and could only order people to search the mansion for rare flowers and herbs, hoping to be of some help.
Since joining Wang Hui's entrepreneurial team, Shen Xu has frequently traveled to various places to handle business affairs.
Upon his return, he had just learned from Chairman Wang that Li Xi had encountered an accident, so he rushed over to visit her.
"Young Master Shen, thank you so much." Meng Zhelan said with emotion, looking at the mountain of precious medicinal herbs piled up in the courtyard.
"Dr. Meng, you're too kind. Xiao Xi is not only my good friend, but also my brother. It's heartbreaking to see him in so much pain and to be powerless to help him!" Shen Xu said, shaking his head and sighing repeatedly.
Meng Zhelan thought of Qin Xiaolin. If he were here, perhaps his internal strength could wake Xiaoxi up.
"If only Young Master Qin were here, his skills are profound, perhaps he could bring Xiaoxi back to her senses..."
Just then, someone rushed in, shouting in a trembling voice, "Where is Xiaoxi?!"
The shout broke the silence in the courtyard, startling everyone who turned to look at the doorway.
A tall man was standing there, his face full of anxiety and worry.
Now dressed as Feng Monian, Qin Xiaolin strode up to Meng Zhelan and asked, "What happened to Xiaoxi? Why did she become like this?"
Meng Zhelan frowned and told him what had happened.
After hearing this, Feng Monian's face turned so gloomy it seemed like water could drip from it.
He returned to Yinxian Manor a few days ago, and when he rushed back to Kyoto, he heard from Chen Quan that Li Xi was injured and unconscious.
He was extremely anxious and immediately turned his horse around and galloped towards this place.
"Master Feng, you're finally back! That's wonderful! Please come with me, there's something I need your help with." Meng Zhelan's face was full of joy.
She received the elixir that Luo Yun had carefully refined yesterday.
Chen Quan was responsible for finding either Qin Xiaolin or Feng Monian, since their skills were far superior to Xiao Xi's.
When Feng Monian and Qin Xiaolin saw Li Xi on the bed, her face was as pale as paper, as if all life had been drained from her, and her figure was as thin as a candle in the wind, which made their hearts ache.
"Master Feng, I have already used silver needles to seal Xiaoxi's acupoints, temporarily stopping the loss of her vital energy, but this is only a temporary measure. Now, I need you to inject your internal energy into Xiaoxi's body while I am performing acupuncture, but this will consume a lot of your internal energy, and you will be extremely weak for a short time..."
He interrupted Meng Zhelan before she could finish speaking, "Dr. Meng, these are all minor matters. I would give up anything to help her."
With that in mind, Meng Zhelan began preparations.
Sweetie changed Li Xi into a dress that would be convenient for acupuncture and wouldn't expose her.
Luo Yun had already dissolved the medicine in warm water and fed it to Xiao Xi spoonful by spoonful.
"Master Feng, you may come in now." Tian Tian went to the outer room to invite him in.
Meng Zhelan was already sitting by the bed. "Master Feng, let's begin."
She gently inserted a silver needle into Li Xi's Tanzhong acupoint, and Feng Monian immediately placed his palms on the top of her head, continuously channeling his internal energy.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Feng Monian's forehead was covered in sweat, and his face had turned pale.
She continued to insert silver needles into other acupoints, making a total of thirteen.
At this moment, Feng Monian had very little internal energy left. He persevered, not wanting to fail at this crucial moment.
Meng Zhelan watched the sweat roll down his forehead and said softly, "Master Feng, thank you for your hard work."
Feng Monian shook his head and gritted his teeth, saying, "As long as Xiaoxi can wake up, it's all worth it, no matter how hard it is."
She observed Li Xi's reaction intently, the silver needle in her hand trembling slightly, as if guiding some mysterious power.
As time went by, Li Xi's complexion gradually became rosy, and her breathing became steady and strong.
Meng Zhelan pulled out the last silver needle. "Alright, thank you for your hard work, Master Feng. Now we just need to wait for Xiaoxi to wake up."
"When will she wake up?" Feng Monian sat on a chair to the side, meditating and regulating his breathing.
"It's hard to say, but judging from her pulse, she should wake up soon." Meng Zhelan was also covered in sweat.
Someone was arranged to take Feng Monian back to his usual courtyard, and Meng Zhelan also went to bathe and change. Only Tian Tian was left to watch over Li Xi.
The people outside breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Li Xi's condition had stabilized, and they all went back to their rooms.
No matter how anxious Wan Yue was, there was nothing he could do; Xiao Xi needed to rest. He had no choice but to return to his own courtyard.
Feng Monian's internal energy suppressed the domineering pulse energy within Li Xi's body, and gradually her internal energy began to recover.
While Li Xi was asleep, she was still immersed in all sorts of bizarre and wonderful dream worlds, constantly shuttling back and forth.
She felt as if she were in an endless labyrinth, where each dream was a completely new world.
