As the name suggests, the hemostatic talisman is of course used to stop bleeding.
So, Wei Wan can still be saved, right? A glimmer of hope appeared in the eyes of the wife of Duke Wei.
Looking at his little sister who was breathing weakly and dying, Duke Weiguo's face turned pale, veins popped out on his forehead, he was angry and heartbroken, and he raised his voice and shouted angrily: "Kill!"
The overwhelming anger in his heart was vented out with this shout, and the sound resounded through the sky like a dragon's roar, with an intimidating momentum.
"Leave him alive." Lady Weiguo, who was kneeling beside Wei Wan, said with difficulty. Her voice was hoarse and tears could not be restrained from flowing from the corners of her eyes.
Seeing that the Duke of Weiguo did not refute, the guards understood what their master meant and acted in a well-trained and divided manner.
The guards who came with the Duke of Weiguo today are all elite members of the Duke's Mansion. Some of them have even accompanied the Duke of Weiguo on the battlefield, and all of them have seen blood on their hands.
They were all very skilled in martial arts. With just a few swipes of their swords, they killed three robbers in grey coarse shorts, leaving only the last one with a big beard.
To prevent the bearded man from committing suicide, one of the guards broke his jaw with lightning speed, causing his face to twist in pain.
All this happened within ten breaths, and everything has been settled.
"Duke, the others have been executed on the spot." Several guards from the Duke's Mansion escorted the bearded man to report to the Duke of Wei.
Xu Yan, who was lying down, woke up only at this moment. He raised his hand and touched his swollen forehead, which was covered in blood.
His head was still buzzing and he was in a daze.
Xu Yan groaned almost silently, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the Duke of Wei and his wife a few feet away, and his memories before he fell into a coma quickly returned.
Seeing that the Duke of Wei and his wife were focusing their attention on Wei Wan, Xu Yan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes darkening.
He gritted his teeth and said nothing, crawling out from the gap between the tree trunk and the carriage with difficulty, and then climbed into the overturned carriage.
After a while, he took Xu Luo out of the carriage, covered his son's mouth with one hand, bent over and quietly walked to the back of the carriage, tiptoeing...
Xu Yan was so focused on running away with his son in his arms that he thought no one in the Weiguo Mansion noticed him. However, he didn't know that a pair of clear and bright almond-shaped eyes were watching his every move from behind.
Gu Yanfei turned sideways and picked up the jade pendant on the ground. He rubbed it twice with his fingertips and saw a roaring tiger engraved on the jade pendant, which obviously belonged to a man.
She looked at the little girl's curled up right calf calmly again. There was nothing she didn't understand.
Gu Yanfei poured a little spiritual power into the jade pendant, threw it casually, and her sleeves flew up...
The jade pendant shining with white light drew a long curve in the air and hit Xu Yan's back of the head accurately.
“Boom!”
Xu Yan didn't even have time to scream before his tall body fell straight to the ground with a dull sound.
Even Xu Luo in his arms fell to the ground in a mess, and the boy cried out "Wow".
The guards of the Duke's Mansion were checking the bodies on the ground. They noticed this scene and rushed over to take down the unconscious him.
"Uncle!" Xu Luo climbed up from the ground. The skin on his palm was scratched by the stones on the ground, and his little face wrinkled in pain.
He wanted to rush over to find the Duke of Wei, but was stopped by two guards who prevented him from getting close to the Duke of Wei and his wife.
He was still young, and faced with two tall and strong guards, he was as fragile as a baby.
The chief guard hurried over to ask the Duke of Wei: "Duke, how should we deal with Xu Luo, the son of the Marquis of Ji'an?"
Before the Duke of Wei could answer, Xu Luo, who was stopped by the guards, started shouting at the top of his voice: "Uncle, they are so bold that they dared to stop me. Beat them to death!"
Xu Luo's eyes showed a defiant and fierce light, and his chin was held high.
"Catch him." Duke Weiguo decisively ordered the captain of the guard, looking at the boy with cold eyes.
Not to mention that Xu Luo's background is questionable, even if he is really Wei Wan's son, he has such a peculiar and unruly temperament that I, as an elder, have to take care of him.
The captain of the guard understood the Duke of Wei's intention and did as he was told.
"Yan Fei, the bleeding has stopped... Has the bleeding from Awan's wound stopped?!" Lady Weiguogong had been staring at Wei Wan's wound and shouted excitedly.
Gu Yanfei nodded: "The bleeding has stopped temporarily." He fed her a pill and then asked: "Is there any farm nearby?"
"Yes, yes!" Lady Weiguo replied hurriedly, "It's at most two miles away from here."
At the Duke of Wei's command, the guards first worked together to right the overturned carriage, and then replaced the two horses pulling the carriage.
Finally, Duke Weiguo carried the unconscious Wei Wan into the carriage.
Everyone set off in a hurry, led by a guard who was familiar with the terrain. After a cup of tea, the group of carriages and horses arrived at the farm that the wife of Duke Weiguo had mentioned.
The people in the village had never expected that the Duke of Wei and his wife would suddenly come here. The whole village suddenly became bustling, with lights on as bright as day.
In less than an incense stick of time, everyone had settled down in the manor and everything was in order.
Wei Wan was placed in a side room. A maid wiped her body, carefully bandaged the wound on her waist, and changed her clothes.
In order to avoid pressing on the wound, the old woman carefully adjusted Wei Wan to a side-lying sleeping position.
Xu Yao held Wei Wan's hand and stayed by her side, staring at her peaceful sleeping face, refusing to leave for even a moment.
After Gu Yanfei drank half a cup of tea, he heard Xu Yao beside the couch shouting, "Mom...Mom, what do you think?"
Gu Yanfei, Duke Weiguo and his wife all left upon hearing the voice. Gu Yanfei glanced at Wei Wan's face and raised his eyebrows calmly.
There was still a layer of deathly aura on Wei Wan's forehead lying on the couch.
Wei Wan blinked and her eyes became much clearer. Her lips were as white as snow due to excessive blood loss and she was still very weak.
She looked straight at Gu Yanfei and said sincerely: "Second Miss Gu...thank you."
If Gu Yanfei had not arrived in time, both she and her daughter would have died there.
Thinking back on everything that happened before she fell into a coma, Wei Wan's heart was filled with an unspeakable sadness and powerlessness.
Wei Wan slowly looked at the Duke of Wei and his wife, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Brother, sister-in-law, how did you find me?"
The wife of Duke Weiguo sat down beside the couch, stretched out her index finger and lightly touched Wei Wan's forehead, sighing: "You, you always have a quick temper!"
"You run so fast, we can't catch up with you..."
“……”Wei Wan pursed her lips, looking embarrassed and speechless for a moment.
She had always cherished her two children the most. When she was at the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, she heard Gu Yanfei cursing her and her children to death. She was furious and did not want to hear what Gu Yanfei had to say. Especially when she saw that her sister-in-law and Jiao Niang were on Gu Yanfei's side, she became even more furious and left in a rage.
Because of her impulsiveness, she almost hurt herself and her daughter.
Wei Wan closed her eyes and asked in a difficult tone, "Where is Xu Yan?"
She took a deep breath and said slowly and firmly, "I want to see him."
Duke Weiguo actually didn't want his sister to see Xu Yan again, but he also knew that with his sister's personality, he had to let her see Xu Yan, otherwise she would never be able to let it go for the rest of her life.
"Go and bring Xu Yan... and Xu Luo here together." Duke Weiguo instructed the old woman serving beside him. After receiving the order, the old woman hurried out.
Then, the wife of Duke Weiguo asked another maid to take Xu Yao away. Xu Yao walked away, looking back every few steps.
There were only four of them left in the room.
The room was silent for a moment.
Wei Wan took a deep breath and said bitterly: "Xu Yan said, he said..."
Her tense heart finally broke when she faced her loved ones.
Her tears fell madly from her eyes, and she said in a hoarse voice: "He said, Luo...Xu Luo is not my child."
"Xu Luo is him and another woman..."
Thinking of the deep affection Xu Yan expressed for Qing when he was a child, Wei Wan's heart ached again, her eyes became more sore, and tears rolled down.
Her husband had betrayed her, and the child was already six years old, which meant that he had been secretly having an affair with that woman for at least seven years... or even longer, and she had no idea.
Wei Wan closed her eyes again, her pearly teeth sinking deeply into her lower lip, almost biting it to bleed.
The wife of Duke Weiguo leaned over and carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of Wei Wan's eyes with a handkerchief.
Wei Wan forced a comforting smile towards the wife of Duke Weiguo, but the smile was extremely bitter.
She calmed herself down and continued, "Back then, I consulted many doctors, including the imperial physician, and they all said that I was pregnant with twins."
"How could Xu Luo not be my child?!"
Wei Wan was still unwilling to believe this fact until this moment, and her breathing was disordered and rapid.
"..." Lady Weiguo's heart felt heavy as if a mountain was pressing down on her. She pursed her lips, wanting to say something but unable to, and could not help turning to look at Gu Yanfei.
Gu Yanfei immediately said, "According to the hexagram, your daughter has a twin sister."
"You should give birth to twin girls."
A baby girl?! Wei Wan's eyes widened, and for a moment, her mind went blank.
She swallowed hard and asked, "Where's that child? Where's Yao Jie'er's sister?"
She didn't dare to think or guess, her heart was beating violently.
Gu Yanfei looked into Wei Wan's eyes and said slowly, "The hexagram shows that the child is dead."
The moment she heard these words, Wei Wan suddenly grabbed the mattress underneath her with one hand and squeezed it so tightly that her fingertips turned white and the veins on the back of her hand popped out.
Wei Wan's head was buzzing.
After the extreme shock, an intense feeling of sorrow swept over her body, and something in her heart seemed to be shattered into pieces.
This time, she didn't say she didn't believe it.
Even if she didn't want to believe it, that was the truth.
