Chapter 226 Concubine Su is already at the end of her life
I didn't expect that Abbot Kongming would suddenly offer to take my pulse, but he is both a teacher and a father to Yun Ji, so it is normal for him to be concerned about Yun Ji's bloodline.
What's more, Abbot Kongming is an excellent doctor. Normally, he couldn't even treat me when he wanted to. Now that he can enjoy the same treatment as the emperor, there is no reason for him to refuse.
Although he was excited, Su Rui pretended to be calm and extended his hand, saying, "Thank you, Abbot."
Abbot Kongming smiled faintly and reached out to take Su Ruidu's pulse, checking the pulse. Although his expression showed no change, Su Rui's heart couldn't help but tighten.
After a while, Abbot Kongming didn't speak and couldn't help asking, "Abbot, is there anything wrong with the fetus in your belly?"
"The fetus is fine and very healthy." Abbot Kongming withdrew his hand, picked up the pen on the table, dipped it in ink, and began to write on the paper. "It's just that you've been too tired recently. Your body wasn't in good health to begin with, and now you're already experiencing signs of qi deficiency. You're already pregnant, so don't work too hard. Just rest and recuperate."
Su Rui could also feel the changes in her body in the past few days, and it was indeed time to rest.
After receiving the prescription, Abbot Kongming was called away by the head monk. Su Ruifu bowed and carefully checked the prescription in his hand. They were all herbs for replenishing qi and strengthening the body, and he felt completely relieved.
His attention was all focused on the prescription and his stomach, so he didn't notice that after Abbot Kongming left the wounded camp, he went towards the military affairs office where Yun Ji was at the moment.
Yun Ji had just finalized the arrangements for returning to the capital with the two generals when he saw Abbot Kong Ming coming. He immediately realized that he had already seen Su Rui's condition and hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"Don't be anxious, don't be impatient."
Abbot Kongming's voice had a calming power. Yun Ji took a deep breath and waited until the two generals had completely left before accompanying Abbot Kongming to the main hall. He personally served tea and said, "Abbot, this matter concerns Su Rui. I am truly in a hurry. I hope you will not conceal anything and tell me the truth."
Looking at Yun Ji, whose determined eyes were tinged with worry, fear, and panic, Abbot Kong Ming did not answer him directly. Instead, he sighed softly, "I haven't seen you for several months, Yun Ji. You have changed."
Yun Ji knew that he had changed and had long since left Buddhism. He bowed his head and said in shame, "I have failed the abbot's many years of teaching."
"No." Abbot Kongming shook his head. "This is what should have been you. You are not a Buddhist monk. Forcing yourself to join the Buddhist sect will only lead to your inner demons. Now, it's good."
Seeing that it was Yun Ji now, Abbot Kongming was relieved.
Ever since Yunji entered the temple as a child, Abbot Kongming has calculated his fate for him.
It is hard to get rid of the worldly affairs but it is even harder to cross the sea of Buddhism. There is a gap in one's fate that seems to be there but not there, which is full of variables. It may exist or not, and it is impossible to be certain.
Therefore, over the years, Abbot Kongming did not place much hope on this and taught and guided people on his own.
But as fate dictated, Yun Ji became more and more isolated, cutting off everything and devoting himself only to Buddhism.
But he had not yet understood that even if he turned to Buddhism, he would still be entangled in delusion, and if he forced himself to enter the world of mortals, he would fall into emptiness.
Until four years ago, the gap that had disappeared reappeared.
But the way of heaven is mysterious, and Abbot Kongming can only glimpse a corner, and cannot tell whether the breach is a person, an object, or an event.
Therefore, the emperor was determined to stop Yunji from becoming a monk, and even found a female donor to serve and seduce Yunji. He did not stop her and just let everything happen. However, the result was not satisfactory, and it made Yunji isolate himself even more deeply.
Until Su Rui appeared.
When Yun Ji brought the wounded Su Rui back to Fahua Temple that day, Abbot Kongming knew that Su Rui was the breakthrough point, the one who could break through Yun Ji's closed heart, pull him into the world of mortals, release his dormant self, and break his fate.
However, I didn’t expect that fate is so unpredictable.
Su Rui has become Yun Ji's light, but it is her last ray of light. If she dies, Yun Ji is afraid...
Abbot Kongming was worried, but since things had come to this, there was no escape and he could only leave everything to fate.
"It was Concubine Su who saved you. She is the one destined for you, but I'm afraid she won't be able to accompany you for the rest of your life. Neither her fate nor her health are long-lasting. Now the twins in your arms are healthy and strong, like tigers in the forest, which is extremely exhausting for the mother. Concubine Su is already at the end of her rope. Once she gives birth, not even half a snow mountain ginseng, or even a few roots, will be of no use."
"How could Snow Mountain Ginseng be useless?" Yun Ji couldn't believe what he heard.
He had thought about the worst possible outcome, but he didn't expect that the snow mountain ginseng would be useless.
That is a life-extending elixir that can extend the lives of the royal family. Why can't Su Rui do the same?
Twins are often born prematurely. Su Rui is now seven months pregnant and will probably give birth in a month or so.
Once produced...
"What if I have an abortion?"
Abbot Kongming was surprised that Yun Ji would say such words, but he understood after a moment.
Now, no one in the world is more important to Yun Ji than Su Rui.
But Abbot Kongming could only shake his head helplessly.
"You've studied medicine. She's already seven months pregnant. An abortion is the same as giving birth. Her body is no different even if she had an abortion early in the pregnancy. On the contrary, although these two children drain her body, they also support it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have made it this far."
Yun Ji naturally understood, but at this moment, he hated himself for understanding.
His body was swaying, but he held on to the arm of the chair tightly, and asked, "Is there no way to save her?"
Abbot Kong Ming shook his head, but suddenly stopped, thought of something, and said with a wry smile, "It's not completely hopeless. If I can get the Dongyue national treasure, the Ten Thousand Year Lotus, I might be able to save my life."
This method is not much different from having no method at all.
The reason why a national treasure is a national treasure is that it is a treasure that is protected by the whole country. Moreover, the Wannian Lotus is one of the foundations of the Dongyue Kingdom. The founding emperor obtained the Wannian Lotus and gained the reputation of being the chosen one by heaven, thus overthrowing the previous country and ascending the throne.
From generation to generation in Dongyue, only the emperor and the crown prince of the current dynasty can see the Wannian Lotus.
How can one obtain such a thing?
What's more, they had just fought a war with Dongyue. Even if they asked Dongyue for medicine in the name of Da Zhao, Dongyue would not give it to them. And Su Ruidu's situation must not be known to the Lin family.
But Yun Ji couldn't just give up like this and watch Su Rui gradually disappear.
Even so, there is little hope.
After thinking for a moment, a flash of pain passed through Yun Ji's eyes, but it soon turned into determination.
He reached out and lifted his robe, then knelt on both knees in front of Abbot Kongming. He leaned forward, knocking his forehead against the ground with a thud, and said, "Yinqin kneels to thank the Abbot for his care over the years."
Abbot Kongming was shocked. He didn't expect Yun Ji to be like this.
This bow means that you will completely sever your ties with Buddhism.
Knowing what he was going to do, Abbot Kongming opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, no words came out.
As a master and as a father, he didn't want Yun Ji to do this, but as a bystander, he should go with the flow and let everything happen. Yun Ji's decision and his fate should be up to him.
Su Rui had three calamities in his life. He had already survived one death calamity and was now facing the second calamity. His fate was uncertain and he could not tell whether he would live or die.
The third calamity was hidden in the fog, and Abbot Kongming could not see it clearly, but if Su Rui could survive the second calamity, he would inevitably be doomed to the third calamity.
Everything is fate.
