Chapter 184 Yue'er, Brother Can't Protect You
Mu Yi, carrying a box of exquisite pastries, reached the entrance of a secluded alley when she suddenly heard a bustling crowd of people, the clamor of chattering. Curious, Mu Yi involuntarily quickened her pace, following the sound.
Pushing through the crowds, Mu Yi's heart tightened at the sight before him. In the alley, a man lay quietly on the cold ground, his clothes disheveled and bloodstained.
Mu Yi was very familiar with the style of the clothes, and a sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in his heart. He hurried forward, and when he saw the man's face clearly, he felt as if struck by lightning, and the cake box in his hand fell to the ground with a "clack".
"Master, Master, what happened to you?" Mu Yi's voice trembled. He quickly squatted down, carefully carried his master Lan Shenye on his back, and staggered towards the nearest pharmacy - Baicaotang.
"Doctor, doctor..."
Inside Baicao Hall, Doctor Qi looked up when he heard the voice, and saw Mu Yi hurriedly walking in carrying Lan Shenye, who was covered in blood.
"Hurry up and carry the person into the inner room." Doctor Qi looked solemn and stood up to give instructions.
Mu Yi did as he was told and gently placed Lan Shenye on the small couch in the room.
Doctor Qi sat down beside him, stretched out his fingers, gently placed them on Lan Shenye's wrist, and carefully felt his pulse. After a moment, he shook his head, his expression becoming even more serious.
"The injury is too severe." Doctor Qi's words were like ice, making Mu Yi's heart sink to the bottom in an instant.
He grabbed Doctor Qi's sleeve tightly and begged, "Doctor, please save our young master! You must save our young master!"
Doctor Qi sighed softly and began to treat Lan Shenye's wounds. He gently took off Lan Shenye's shirt, carefully wiping away the blood, and slowly said, "Hey, how did he get hurt like this? His injuries are not serious, he can recover with some rest, but these legs... were broken by gravity, the bones are fractured, I'm afraid..."
"What?" Mu Yi was stunned upon hearing this. He couldn't believe his ears. How could the young master's leg be injured? He grabbed Doctor Qi's hand again and almost begged, "Doctor, please save our young master! Our young master's leg can't be injured! He still has to take the imperial examination, and he still has to..."
Doctor Qi shook his head helplessly, a trace of regret flashing in his eyes: "I am powerless, you should find someone else."
This sentence, like a final verdict, made Mu Yi's heart sink into the abyss. He looked at the unconscious young master, tears welling up in his eyes, but he forced himself not to let them fall.
Mu Yi carried his young master Lan Shenye on his back and hurried to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.
"What happened?" Duke Protector of the Country Yun Zhentian rushed over after hearing the news, and frowned when he saw Lan Shenye lying on the bed with a pale face.
"Father, this guard said that Ye'er was waiting for him on the street today to buy cakes, but when he returned, he found Ye'er gone. He searched everywhere anxiously and finally found Ye'er in the alley, but she was already dying."
Mu Yi whispered, "I immediately carried the young master to Baicaotang to see a doctor. The doctor said that the young master's injuries were not the most important. The important thing was that his legs were broken by gravity."
Upon hearing this, the Duke of the Protectorate's expression darkened. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the exertion. "Take my letter and immediately go to the Imperial Hospital to ask the head of the hospital to come in person."
Soon, the head of the Imperial Hospital was hurriedly summoned. After a thorough examination, he solemnly announced to everyone, "Young Master Lan's leg bone is severely fractured. I'm afraid that in the future..."
Upon hearing this, the Duke of Huguo's face turned extremely grim. He said in a deep voice, "Lord Su, is there no way to cure my grandson's leg?"
The head of the Imperial Hospital shook his head and said, "The leg bone is severely fractured. There's nothing I can do. I can only prescribe some painkillers."
The Duke of Protectorate said in a deep voice, "Sorry to trouble you, Lord Su."
"You are too polite, old Duke." After saying that, Lord Su began to treat Lan Shenye's injuries. After bandaging them, he prescribed some medicine and left the Duke's Mansion.
The Duke of Huguo looked at Yun Yongan and said, "Boss, send someone to investigate. Who harmed Ye'er like this?"
Yun Yongan quickly responded, "Yes, Father, I'll have someone investigate right away and bring the murderer to justice!"
Suddenly, a faint groan broke the silence of the night.
Lan Shenye was just waking up from the pain in a daze. He looked around with a painful expression: "I...what happened to me?"
Upon hearing this, the Duke of Huguo quickly turned around, his eyes filled with concern and anxiety. He walked lightly to the bedside and asked, "Ye'er, you're awake. Do you feel any discomfort?"
Lan Shenye endured the pain and frowned: "It hurts...Grandpa, why am I here? Why do I feel pain all over my body?"
As he was about to stand up, he was horrified to find that his legs were limp and he couldn't move them at all. His face turned pale in an instant, and he said in panic, "My legs, why can't I move my legs?"
Seeing this, the Duke of Protectorate felt a sinking feeling in his heart. He gently patted Lan Shenye's shoulder and sighed, "Ye'er, did you see who attacked you?"
Lan Shenye's eyes were empty and confused, as if they had lost all color. "I don't know. I just felt a pain in the back of my neck, and then everything went black. I didn't know anything."
"Ye'er, take good care of your injury. Grandfather will definitely find a way to heal your leg."
At this time, the old lady and others rushed over after hearing the news. As soon as they entered the room, they saw Lan Shenye lying weakly on the bed, and their hearts ached.
The old lady walked quickly to the bedside and stroked Lan Shenye's face distressedly: "Who hurt Ye'er like this?"
Lan Shenye still had empty eyes and was silent.
The old lady's eyes were slightly red as she consoled him, "Ye'er, just stay here and recuperate. Grandmother will definitely find the best doctor to treat you."
Lan Shenye's mood was unusually low. He whispered, "I want to go back to the Marquis' Mansion."
The Duke of Huguo nodded and said, "Okay, I'll have someone take you back. Ye'er, don't worry. Grandfather will definitely find a way to heal your legs."
After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Lan Shenye sat in front of the window without saying a word, staring out with a dull look.
His heart was filled with despair and helplessness. His disabled legs meant that he would not be able to take part in the imperial examination next year. This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to him, a man full of ambitions.
“Young Master…” Mu Yi came forward with the medicine.
Lan Shenye spilled the medicine on the ground, his eyes red, and he pounded his legs vigorously with both hands, muttering, "It's broken, my legs are broken, broken, I can't participate in the scientific examination next year, Yue'er, brother can't protect you anymore."
"Master, Master, please don't be like this. Don't let your imagination run wild. You still have a lot of injuries on your body. I'll have someone boil some medicine for you right away."
After Mu Yi finished speaking, he hurried out and asked the servant to boil the medicine.
