Chapter 155 Injury 2
Lu Sui's entire upper body was almost completely wrapped in gauze, with a large area of blood seeping out in the middle, staining the gauze red and irritating people's eyes.
He just lay there, motionless.
His eyes were tightly closed, and his angular face looked extremely pale due to excessive blood loss, as if he had stopped breathing.
Jiang Yueyao suppressed her inner trembling and slowly approached step by step.
He was clearly fine when he left, less than half a month later, how could he be injured like this?
Qing Yi came in from outside and saw her wiping away tears. He glanced at his master lying on the bed, hesitated for a moment, and whispered to her in a comforting voice, "Don't worry, young lady. Although the master's injury is serious, it can be cured."
The word "can be cured" immediately stopped Jiang Yueyao's tears.
"Didn't Qingshu just say that you were helpless..."
"That arrow is poisonous. I dare not act rashly. The emperor just gave the master an antidote pill. It should be fine."
As he spoke, he leaned over to take Lu Sui's pulse.
Jiang Yueyao stared at his hand nervously: "How?"
"You might get a high fever soon." He put his hand away and turned to walk out. "I have to prepare the medicine first."
Jiang Yueyao chased after him: "What can I do?"
"Young lady, please stay with the master. If he wants to drink water, you can feed him some with a spoon."
Jiang Yueyao nodded, went into the inner room, and squatted beside Lu Sui's bed.
He was injured on the left side of his chest, where the blood was darker in color. Both of his arms were exposed, and there were also scars on them.
Jiang Yueyao raised her hand and touched it gently. Although the wound was not serious, it was still shocking to see.
Worried that he had a high fever, Jiang Yueyao leaned over and touched his forehead.
She was relieved to find that the temperature of her forehead was normal.
Qingshu came in and saw her squatting beside the bed, so he hurriedly brought her a stool.
"Young lady, please sit down. We don't know when the master will wake up. I'm afraid we'll have to stay up late tonight."
Maybe I squatted for too long.
As soon as Jiang Yueyao stood up, her feet felt numb. She quickly sat down. The discomfort took her a long time to recover.
Qingshu brought some tea and snacks and placed them aside: "Miss, if you are hungry, eat some first. I will ask the kitchen to make you some dinner."
"I'm not hungry, don't worry about me."
Qingshu sighed lightly and turned to leave the inner room.
Qing Yi came in twice more, took Jiang Yueyao's pulse, gave her some instructions, and then went out.
Everything was peaceful during this period. Lu Sui was still in a coma, but he did not have a high fever. Qing Yi said that this was a good thing, which meant that the master was in good health and might be able to survive it.
But we can't be careless. The wound is right next to the heart and lungs, which is very dangerous. In addition, the arrow is poisonous. Although I have been fed antidote pills, the remaining poison has already seeped into my body during the three days of rushing back...
"If I don't have a high fever tonight, does that mean I'm fine?"
"That's right. The first night is very dangerous. If we can get through it safely, maybe the master will wake up tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueyao clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and prayed in her heart...
"Gods and Buddhas, please bless Lu Sui to spend this night safely and keep him from getting a high fever. I am willing to give up a year of my life in exchange for a peaceful night for him."
"If one year isn't enough, then two years..."
After all, the gods and Buddhas in the sky did not respond to her prayers. In the early morning, Lu Sui developed a high fever.
The high fever came so fiercely, so hot that Jiang Yueyao's voice changed.
"Qing Yi... Qing Yi..." She ran out in a panic and grabbed Qing Yi who was sleeping on the table. "The master has a high fever. It's so hot."
Qing Yi's originally groggy mind immediately woke up.
He rushed in with a quick step, followed closely by Jiang Yueyao, and Qingshu also came in. The two stood aside, staring nervously at Qingyi who was taking Lu Sui's pulse.
Qing Yi's expression gradually became solemn.
"The pulse is unstable, Qingshu, please send someone to get Doctor Tian and tell him to hurry."
"Okay." Qingshu turned around and ran out.
Jiang Yueyao was frightened and stood aside, not daring to make a sound. Her whole body was tense and she was so nervous that even her breathing became light.
The fever-reducing medicine was brought in, but Qing Yi was stumped when it came time to feed it.
"The master's teeth are clenched so tightly that the medicine cannot be fed to him."
After giving orders, Qingshu ran in. He rolled up his sleeves and volunteered, "I'll do it."
He tried to pry open Lu Sui's mouth with a spoon, but his teeth were so tightly clenched that he didn't dare to use too much force for fear of hurting his master, so he had to give up.
"What should I do?" Qingshu was so anxious that he was spinning around in circles. "The medicine is almost cold..."
"Give it to me." Jiang Yueyao reached out, took the bowl of medicine, and sat down on the edge of the bed.
She has always been afraid of bitterness. Every time she takes medicine, she has to eat a few sour plums in advance before she can drink the medicine reluctantly.
But at this moment, she couldn't care less about anything.
Holding the medicine bowl, he took a big sip and handed the bowl back to Qingshu. Then, in the shocked eyes of the two, he held Lu Sui's cheeks with both hands, leaned over and pressed his lips against his.
Her lips pressed against his, her thin lips burning hot. She used the tip of her tongue to press against his teeth. She thought it would take some time, but as soon as they touched, he opened his mouth.
The medicine went down her throat smoothly. She took another sip and applied it again.
This went on for five or six times, and he was fed the entire bowl of medicine without leaving a drop.
After feeding him, she took a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of his mouth. She stood up and was about to rinse her mouth when she saw Qingshu and Qingyi looking at her with red faces and surprise...
Jiang Yueyao finally reacted.
Her face also turned red.
"Um...I didn't mean to take advantage of your master."
"Hmm!" They both nodded at the same time, but their eyes secretly glanced at her mouth...
Jiang Yueyao: “…”
She came out of the inner room with a flushed face, stood in front of the table, poured herself a bowl of tea, rinsed her mouth to relieve the bitterness in her mouth, and then sat down on the soft couch by the window.
When Doctor Tian came, he saw a girl sitting there, so he just glanced at her without asking any questions.
Jiang Yueyao wanted to go in, but was worried about disturbing them, so she stood at the partition and waited anxiously.
After being busy for more than an hour, the noise finally died down.
Qingshu sent Doctor Tian out.
"If you would rather trouble me to come here, you can stay here tonight. The room is ready."
"Okay, tonight is special, running back and forth is not a big deal."
"Hey, please come this way."
After the two of them walked out, Jiang Yueyao hurried in.
The gauze on Lu Sui's body had been changed. It was much cleaner than before and there was not as much blood.
Qing Yi was wiping Lu Sui's body with a wet cloth. Jiang Yueyao stepped forward and took the wet cloth.
"I'll come, you go and rest."
After being busy for more than an hour, Qing Yi was also tired.
His clothes were all wet, and as he sat aside, his breathing became heavier.
"The high fever has subsided a bit. If it can go away before daybreak, the master should be fine."
Jiang Yueyao didn't say anything.
She folded the half-wrung wet cloth into a square and placed it on Lu Sui's forehead. Then she took another piece, wrung it dry, and carefully wiped his palms, arms, and neck... over and over again.
In the meantime, Qing Yi gave him another injection.
Jiang Yueyao wiped him many times, and finally at dawn, Lu Sui's high fever subsided.
When her hand fell on his forehead and felt the cool warmth, Jiang Yueyao burst into tears of joy...
