coma
"Ruyi, are you alright?" Shangguan Zeyu asked in a panic, hurriedly taking Jiang Yan from Chen Run's arms.
Chen Run breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Jiang Yan was being held tightly in Shangguan Zeyu's arms, and then swayed unsteadily due to the pain in his back.
Shangguan Zeyu looked at him with great concern: "Are you alright?"
Despite the pain in his back, Chen Run said, "I'm fine. Take Ruyi to see a doctor right away!"
"and you?"
"I'm fine, Ruyi can't be delayed!!" Chen Run endured the excruciating pain and hurriedly waved for Shangguan Zeyu to carry Jiang Yan to find a doctor.
Without hesitation, Shangguan Zeyu immediately picked up Jiang Yan and ran out quickly.
Only then did Chen Run dare to truly relax.
He felt as if all his strength had been drained away, and he collapsed to his knees, his eyelids blinking slightly before he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
The blow that Xiao Yiqing suffered this time was exceptionally great; it should be said that this blow was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
She seemed to have gone mad, watching everything that had just happened with a silly grin. When she saw Chen Run fall down, she clapped and cheered like an innocent child.
Such an incident in the two private rooms naturally attracted the attention of the other guests in the restaurant. The restaurant owner and the waiter also rushed over upon hearing the commotion, but because they couldn't afford to offend the guests in the private rooms, and the situation had far exceeded their capacity to handle it, they could only watch worriedly from a short distance away.
Seeing Shangguan Zeyu anxiously and worriedly carrying the bleeding and unconscious Jiang Yan out, they dared to rush towards the private room, where they witnessed this eerie and chilling scene.
Jiang Yan's abdominal wound was extremely severe, and the bleeding wouldn't stop, terrifying Shangguan Zeyu. Zhang Qin, having heard everything that had happened at the restaurant, rushed to find him with the imperial physician.
After examining Jiang Yan's wounds, the imperial physician was also at a loss.
Shangguan Zeyu broke down, losing his composure, and shouted, "If you dare to spout nonsense again, I will exterminate your entire clan!"
!!
The imperial physician was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, his legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, begging for mercy: "This humble servant has mercy! This humble servant is willing to discuss with the other imperial physicians to see if there are any other countermeasures."
"What are you waiting for? Go!"
The imperial physician was so frightened that he wet himself and ran away in a panic.
The doctor and two apprentices at the clinic were terrified, their foreheads pressed to the ground, not daring to move an inch.
Zhang Qin glanced at Shangguan Zeyu, who was anxious, worried, and panicked, and then at Jiang Yan, who was lying on the bed with a pale face and white lips, before silently walking out.
The imperial physicians were also at a loss. The bleeding from Jiang Yan's abdomen had not stopped and continued to flow slightly. If it went on for too long, it would probably be too late to save her. Therefore, the imperial physicians unanimously agreed that at this moment, they could only gamble with the imperial medicine.
The imperial medicine was the same medicine that Shangguan Zeyu obtained from the Imperial Hospital when Jiang Yan was rendered unconscious by Wang Qianqian and her group and nearly met his end.
Now, only three remain, and the imperial physicians have taken them all.
Without a second thought, as soon as Shangguan Zeyu received the medicine and heard that it was effective, he fed it to Jiang Yan without saying a word.
Jiang Yan was unconscious and lost consciousness, so he fed Jiang Yan the medicine with his own mouth. It took him a long, long time to finish feeding him all three pills.
The imperial physician, fearing death but not daring to speak recklessly, hesitated before saying, "Your Highness, I am incompetent and this is the only method I can think of. As for whether the Princess Consort can recover, I dare not make any promises."
Although Shangguan Zeyu was so terrified that he lost his mind, he was ultimately not one to make fun of people's lives. Hearing the imperial physician's words, he simply waved his hand dismissively: "Go away!"
The imperial physician was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly withdrew.
Shangguan Zeyu stayed by Jiang Yan's bedside without changing his clothes or eating, for three days and three nights. Just when Shangguan Zeyu was so exhausted that he could hardly breathe, Jiang Yan finally opened his eyes slightly.
Shangguan Zeyu was overjoyed, but he was afraid that Jiang Yan was seeing things because he was too longing for her or too scared. He forced himself to suppress his excitement and waited for Jiang Yan to open her eyes slightly before excitedly restraining his strong emotions and calling out, "Ruyi, you're awake!"
Jiang Yan's eyes were still unfocused. He stared at Shangguan Zeyu for a long time before he could focus and then forced a smile: "Mm."
Shangguan Zeyu was almost moved to tears. He suppressed the intense joy of having something lost and then regained it, and asked, "How is Ruyi? Would you like some water?"
Jiang Yan smiled weakly at him and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "No, thank you."
Shangguan Zeyu said again, "You lie down for a while, I'll go call the doctor."
Jiang Yan still smiled weakly, slowly closed her eyes and then slowly opened them again, which was her way of giving Shangguan Zeyu an answer.
The imperial physician who treated Jiang Yan did not leave. Like Shangguan Zeyu, he remained at the clinic. He appeared when Shangguan Zeyu needed him, and when Shangguan Zeyu did not need him, he simply prepared medicine for Jiang Yan.
The imperial physician came to the bedside, greeted Jiang Yan, and began to take her pulse.
Shangguan Zeyu thought Jiang Yan had finally come back from the brink of death. Even the imperial physician who had just seen Jiang Yan thought she had come back to life. However, after examining Jiang Yan's pulse, the imperial physician couldn't help but sigh.
Shangguan Zeyu was now like a frightened bird, the slightest disturbance could make him overthink for a long time, so he hurriedly asked, "Is there a problem?"
The imperial physician glanced at Jiang Yan, smiled reassuringly at her, and said, "Your Highness is recovering very well. After a few more days of rest, you will be able to get out of bed and walk around."
"Really?" Shangguan Zeyu exclaimed in surprise.
However, out of Jiang Yan's sight, the imperial physician looked regretfully at Shangguan Zeyu and said, "Your Highness, please come with me to fetch the prescription that the Princess Consort needs." He then bowed to Jiang Yan and slowly withdrew.
How could Shangguan Zeyu not see the hint in the imperial physician's eyes before he left? But he didn't want to think about it in that negative way. He felt that he must be too scared, so much so that even the slightest change in someone else's gaze made him think the sky was falling!
"Ruyi, please rest well. I'll be right back." Shangguan Zeyu gently tucked Jiang Yan in, then lovingly kissed her forehead before striding out.
The imperial physician hadn't gone far; he was waiting for him in the courtyard.
"Weren't you asking me to fetch the prescription?"
The imperial physician glanced at him with alarm, then looked worriedly at the closed door behind him, and said, "Your Highness, may I speak to you in private?"
Shangguan Zeyu followed the imperial physician nervously to a secluded corner of the room.
"Just say what you have to say," Shangguan Zeyu said, but a voice in his heart kept saying, "Don't say anything, don't say anything at all, I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it."
The imperial physician turned around, knelt down swiftly before him, kowtowed, and said, "Your Highness, spare my life!" Before Shangguan Zeyu could even accept it, he hurriedly added, "Your Highness, the Princess Consort is beyond saving. Please make preparations as soon as possible."
"What?" Shangguan Zeyu suddenly heard a "buzz" in his ears, like a bolt from the blue, so startled that he didn't react for a long time.
The imperial physician continued, "Your Highness, please spare my family, as I have not lied." He then kowtowed three times to Shangguan Zeyu.
Shangguan Zeyu found it absurd and couldn't help but laugh as he pondered, "What are you talking about? Didn't you see just now? Ruyi has already woken up and is fine."
"Your Highness, I dare to be bold, but the Princess Consort is only experiencing a brief moment of lucidity before her death; she won't last many more days."
Shangguan Zeyu's smile twitched a few times, and then a tear slid down the corner of his eye as it twitched.
"How is this possible? How is this possible?" Shangguan Zeyu muttered to himself.
He truly couldn't imagine it, couldn't accept it. It had only been a few days! Not long ago, Ruyi was still chatting and laughing with him, and they were even discussing going to Maple Mountain to find fireflies and make wishes. How could it be that in the blink of an eye, she was saying she was going to die?
This is absurd!
The imperial physician said, "Your Highness, the princess's health was already poor. Coupled with her previous injury and exhaustion, she is now on the verge of death after this ordeal."
Shangguan Zeyu still found it impossible and couldn't help but laugh speechlessly: "How is this possible? Ruyi doesn't look sick at all. She's so lively and energetic, how could she keep weakening her body like this?"
The imperial physician, unsure of what to say, lowered his head and sighed.
