Although Helian Sheng was also frightened, he still felt that things were not that simple. He looked at Xuan Yi and Xuan Er and said, "What is going on? Explain it clearly!"
Xuan Yi lowered his head and said, "We...we escorted Miss Chanxue to see Master Duan last night. Master Duan was very happy when he saw Miss Chanxue, and Miss Chanxue seemed willing to stay there with Master Duan to watch the lanterns. Later...later there was a fireworks display..."
After a pause, he continued, "Master Duan even specially selected a nice guest room and took Miss Chanxue up there. They ate while he watched. We all...we all thought that Miss Chanxue wouldn't be in any danger since she was with Master Duan, so we got careless. When we came to our senses, both Master Duan and Miss Chanxue were gone."
Helian Sheng frowned and asked, "And then?"
This time it was Xuan Er who spoke. He said, "We searched for a long time in that area, but couldn't find any trace of Master Duan and Miss Chanxue. We thought they had gone back on their own, so we searched all the way to the General's Mansion, but didn't see Master Duan. We then went back to the Prince's Mansion, but still couldn't find Miss Chanxue. We realized something might have happened, so we told Su He..."
Su He continued, "After I learned about this, I didn't dare disturb the prince and princess. I immediately sent people to search everywhere, but there was no trace of Master Duan and Miss Chanxue. Just now, someone came to report that Master Duan brought Miss Chanxue, who was covered in blood, back to the general's mansion and even found an imperial physician to treat her. After careful investigation, I found out..."
He seemed to be at a loss for words, but after a pause, he continued, "I just found out. It was last night when Master Duan got drunk and assaulted Miss Chanxue... Miss Chanxue seemed to be refusing to obey and had a violent temper. When she woke up, she cut her wrists. Master Duan woke up later and found Miss Chanxue covered in blood. He quickly brought her back to the General's Mansion."
Duan Qingxi's face had turned pale, and she didn't even know what to say.
Helian Sheng supported her and said softly, "Don't think too much. This may be a misunderstanding. It's just hearsay. What if it's not true?"
After a pause, he continued, "Let's go to the General's Mansion now. Chan Xue is in critical condition. You have great medical skills, maybe..."
Just as he finished speaking, a servant came to report that a servant from the general's mansion wanted to see him and asked Duan Qingxi to go back to the general's mansion.
It seems that Chanxue's condition is not optimistic. Duan Hong and Duan Sijin both remembered that Duan Qingxi had superb medical skills, so they sent someone to invite her back.
Duan Qingxi didn't dare to hesitate for a moment. Even though his legs were so weak that he couldn't walk, he still hurried back.
There was chaos in the general's mansion. Many servants didn't know what had happened. When Duan Qingxi and Helian Sheng appeared, they were still confused.
Chan Xue was brought back to Duan Sijin's own courtyard and was now being treated in his bedroom. When Duan Qingxi and Helian Sheng rushed over, Duan Hong and Duan Sijin were waiting outside the courtyard, while the imperial physician was busy in the room. Many servants and maids were coming in and out, and from their nervous expressions, it was clear that Chan Xue's condition was not optimistic at the moment.
Duan Hong was also very anxious. He frowned and dared not show any expression on his face. He looked at the door of the room from time to time, and sometimes turned to look at Duan Sijin beside him. He must have known what had happened.
Although Duan Sijin was standing next to Duan Hong, his face was pale, his hair was messy, his hair crown was missing, his clothes were wrinkled and stained with blood, which was very different from his usual image. He stood there motionless, with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking. But if you look closely, you can find that his body seems to be trembling slightly.
When Duan Qingxi walked over, Helian Sheng suddenly grabbed her and then shook his head slightly at her, probably worried that she would say something excessive to Duan Sijin because of anger.
Duan Qingxi sighed slightly and pulled her hand away. Although she was angry and found this matter difficult for her to accept, Chan Xue was angry for no apparent reason. Even if she wanted to settle the score with Duan Sijin, she would not make trouble at this critical juncture.
After she walked over, Duan Hong quickly saw her. He was excited but also had other emotions. In short, it looked very complicated.
He whispered, "Xi'er, are you back?"
Duan Qingxi nodded and glanced at Duan Sijin, but Duan Sijin didn't know whether he hadn't heard Duan Hong or noticed her, or he simply didn't have the courage to look up at her. He still kept his head down and didn't move.
Seeing this, Duan Qingxi had no choice but to look at Duan Hong and ask, "Dad, how is Xue'er now?"
Duan Hong's expression changed again. He glanced at Duan Qingxi, then walked towards her and whispered, "Right now... the imperial physician said the situation isn't good. I don't know if he can be saved."
Then he added: "Xi'er, you have great medical skills, otherwise you..."
Duan Qingxi nodded, glanced at Duan Sijin who was still motionless, and walked towards the bedroom.
The imperial doctors in the room seemed to have no other options. Just when they were about to give up, they suddenly saw Duan Qingxi walk in. They were so excited that they almost knelt down on the spot.
However, Duan Qingxi was in no mood to go through the formalities with them. After driving them out, he walked to the window to look at the Zen snow.
He was barely breathing and his pulse was very weak, but fortunately he arrived in time and could still be saved...
Helian Sheng and Duan Hong waited outside for a long time before looking at Duan Hong and saying, "Don't worry, father-in-law. Xi'er has always been an excellent doctor. If she doesn't come out right away, it means there's still a chance. As long as Xi'er thinks there's a chance, she'll definitely be able to save the person."
Hearing this, Duan Hong looked at Helian Sheng. Even Duan Sijin, who had been motionless, raised his head and glanced in his direction.
