Chapter 58 Zhelan
"Your Highness..." Mu Xun was startled and grabbed him.
The darkness before Mu Xi's eyes flashed by, and when she recovered, her heart was pounding so hard that she couldn't speak.
Without saying a word, Mu Xun picked up Mu Xi and said, "Doctor Luo, Tao'er, quickly go and invite Doctor Luo."
Zhelan, who had been overjoyed but was shocked by the sight of her, rushed in, asking, "Young Master... what happened to you, Young Master?"
Mu Xi was only thinking about Zhe Lan. As soon as she was put on the bed, she asked with difficulty, "Zhe...Zhe Lan...how did you get back?"
Zhelan got up and limped into the room, tears streaming down her face. "Young Master, I almost didn't see you again, but... but... what happened to you?"
"I..." Mu Xi's nose also tingled when she saw Zhe Lan's tears.
Is she destined to live with such a weak and frail body from now on?
But Zelan was covered in blood, clearly wounded and missing for several days, so this was obviously not the time for her to wallow in self-pity.
"I'm fine, but how about you?" Mu Xi forced a smile.
As soon as Zhelan entered, she collapsed to her knees, crawled two steps, and cried out, "Your Highness, I'm alright! I missed you so much! I'm fine, but you were shot with an arrow that day, how did you end up like this? Waaah..."
Zhelan cried with genuine emotion, and Muxi's heart warmed: "I'm alright, at least I'm not dead. But you, how did you disappear and come back? Why did you only come back now? Don't kneel on the ground, get up, sit down and tell me slowly."
When Zelan heard Muxi say "It's alright," she immediately stopped crying and smiled, wiping her tear-streaked face: "This servant doesn't need it. The young master's carpet is soft, and this servant is perfectly comfortable sitting on the ground, much better than on a stool."
Just as he finished speaking, footsteps sounded outside.
Before the physician Luo appeared, his voice preceded his arrival: "What is it? Didn't I warn you, young master, not to get agitated or overexert yourself..."
As the voice spoke, Doctor Luo entered.
"I'm fine, I'll be alright after a while. Doctor Luo, please take a look at Zhelan first." Mu Xi pointed at Zhelan first, then looked at Tao'er who followed in and instructed, "Tao'er, bring a bowl of porridge to Zhelan. I think she seems to have had a peaceful meal a few days ago."
"Yes." Tao'er turned and left again.
Mu Xun, however, insisted: "Dr. Luo, please examine the young master first. He almost fainted as soon as he stepped down. What could be the reason?"
Without needing any instructions, Physician Luo intended to examine Mu Xi first, and without further ado, she stepped forward to take her pulse.
After taking his pulse, he repeated the same old advice: "It will probably take several years to fully heal this injury. I'll say it again: you need to calm your mind and stay peaceful, that's the fastest way."
"A few years?" Mu Xun's calm eyes rippled with emotion. "Dr. Luo, didn't you say before that the arrow was removed in time and the remaining poison was cleared away, and that he would recover as long as he took good care of himself for a period of time?"
Doctor Luo shook his head helplessly: "That was before, but that night she risked her life and suffered a great loss... It's like a tree with three supporting roots. The first time someone cut off one root, before it could recover, another root was cut off, leaving only one. Now you're trying to maintain it with just this one root, and you're trying to help it grow two more roots. How could that be possible in less than several years?"
Previously, Doctor Luo had not explained things in such detail; it turned out that those were just words to "comfort the patient."
Mu Xi felt a chill in her heart and a sense of despondency arose within her.
The divine physician Luo immediately saw through it: "You are so young, how can you be so easily discouraged? I have always said that as long as you keep calm and take good care of yourself, you will always have a chance to make a comeback. Besides, you have only damaged your foundation, the tree has not fallen."
Yes, the tree hasn't fallen yet.
It was only through the power of her spirit and soul that the fairy sister was able to keep this tree standing.
Our current predicament is entirely thanks to the Gao family.
They launched attacks time and again, giving them no chance to catch their breath or retaliate.
But as long as she doesn't die, once she recovers, I will definitely repay her double.
Just then, Tao'er brought in some hot porridge.
Zhelan didn't stand on ceremony and started gulping down the porridge from the bowl.
Mu Xi regained her composure: "I understand. I'll trouble Doctor Luo to take a look at Zhe Lan."
Doctor Luo turned around and examined Zhelan for a few moments. Before even taking her pulse, he asked, "You have injuries on your shoulders, back, and legs, none of which have been properly treated. The injury on your back was caused by a hidden weapon, which I saw that day. Fortunately, it wasn't poisonous. But how did you get the injury on your legs?"
Zelan seemed to have not eaten for a long time, and finished the porridge in a few bites, then stretched out her arms.
"Want more?" Tao'er asked with a look of disgust.
After getting up, Doctor Luo took Zhe Lan's right wrist and instructed her, "If you haven't eaten for several days, just bear with it and eat only a bowl of porridge for now. And don't overeat."
Disappointed, Zelan obediently handed the bowl to Tao'er, saying, "I don't want it anymore."
Tao'er took the bowl, rolled her eyes, and turned to leave.
"Once you've recovered from your injuries, you'll have plenty to eat. Tell me what happened first?" Compared to the original owner's fondness for Tao'er's talkativeness and cheerfulness, the current Mu Xi prefers Zhe Lan's innocent and straightforward nature.
Zelan, after being examined by the divine physician Luo, began to recall: "That day, the young master was shot by an arrow and boarded the carriage. Fortunately, he left behind his soldiers to cover the retreat of the bandits. I was injured in the back and fell to the ground. I had planned to wait for the soldiers to win a great victory so that I could go back to the manor with them. Who would have thought that after the young master left, those people became more and more ferocious, killing anyone they saw. I could only hide and hid. I accidentally rolled down the hillside and fainted. When I woke up, I found that I had injured my leg. When I climbed back up, there was no one left, only me."
"Was it because your leg was broken that you couldn't get back?" Mu Xi had also experienced that situation, and it was truly a miracle that Zhe Lan survived.
Zelan nodded: "Yes, I was later rescued by a farmer. The farmer had no doctors or medicine, but the woman in charge was kind and helped me remove the hidden weapon from my back and bandage it. As for my leg... I didn't know at the time whether it was broken or not. Anyway, I stayed at the woman's house for a few days."
"It's not broken, but there's a tear." While Zhelan was speaking, Doctor Luo had already examined Zhelan's shoulders, back, and legs. "The wound on your back has already scabbed over. Fortunately, it's not poisonous, which is why you pulled through. As for the leg wound, it's been a bit delayed, but it's not a big problem. I'll prescribe some external and internal medicine for you, and after some rest, you should be fine."
Ze Lan chuckled foolishly, "Thank you, Doctor Luo. I knew that as long as I held on, my body would heal on its own."
"Well, consider yourself lucky. If you had really broken your leg, you would be ruined by now." After making a preliminary diagnosis, Doctor Luo stood up to write a prescription.
Zelan said nonchalantly, "I've always been lucky and thick-skinned. Back then, I was able to be bought and treated by Madam, and now I'm being saved by a noble person."
