Her words may have made Leng Zian a little worried. He sighed deeply and prepared to get up. Duosheng saw this and hurriedly helped him up. He looked at Luo Lan and asked in a low voice,
"Can I go in with him then?"
"Can't."
Luo Lan interrupted him directly and decisively.
"His condition is very unstable right now. People who know me well understand that when I'm treating a patient, no one can interrupt me, and no one can visit the patient mid-treatment. So you have no choice but to wait."
Although Leng Zian desperately wanted to stay with Xiaozhi, he also knew what Luo Lan meant.
He stood up straight and suddenly bowed to Luo Lan. Seeing this, Luo Lan hurriedly raised his hand to support him.
"Uncle Emperor, why is this happening?"
Leng Zian pursed his lips, sighed deeply, and said to her with his hands clasped together:
"I have offended my uncle many times in the past, but you have devoted all your efforts to treating Xiao Zhi. I will hand Xiao Zhi over to you. I would like to thank you for not taking it personally, and then thank you for treating Xiao Zhi."
His action really shocked Luo Lan. The arrogant King of Zhennan actually bowed to a junior like him for the sake of his son. This made Luo Lan feel sad.
She bowed in return and said:
"Uncle, this is truly humiliating to Luo Lan. Although Xiao Zhi is your son, he should still call Leng Yu his master and me his sister. I will do my utmost to protect his life. You can go back and rest assured."
Leng Zian then let out a long breath, nodded to her, turned around, and left dejectedly.
His back looked somewhat forlorn, without the previous arrogance, and suddenly a bit more vicissitudes of life.
Watching him leave, Leng Yu stepped forward, took her cold hand, and asked in a low voice:
"Lan'er, you must be tired. Go and take a rest. I'll take care of this place."
Luo Lan shook her head slightly. Xiao Zhi's condition was unstable. How could she feel at ease with someone else guarding her?
She chuckled and refused, "Don't worry, my husband, I'm fine. I'll go in and get some sleep. Have someone take turns guarding here. Don't let anyone in. My healing method comes from another world and can't be seen by others, otherwise I can't explain it."
Leng Yu believed her words without a doubt. Otherwise, he would not be able to stand here upright.
He nodded heavily, raised his hand to pluck the hair off her face, looked at her tired and pale face, sighed softly, and said with concern:
"Okay, I'll stay here. If you need anything, just let me know."
"Need not."
She rejected his offer and said, "You should go to the next room and rest. Xiao Zhi may wake up in a day, a month, or even a year. We can't keep waiting all the time. We just need to make sure there are people guarding the door."
In fact, she knew that her worries were unnecessary, because the area was already full of Leng Zian's people, and not even a fly would fly in. However, she still felt that she could only feel at ease if a few of her own people were here.
Seeing her resolute attitude, Leng Yu looked at her tenderly and said softly:
"Okay, go and rest. I'll be next door. Call me if you need anything."
Luo Lan nodded heavily, "Go ahead, I'll go in and see Xiao Zhi too."
After she finished speaking, she smiled at Leng Yu, pulled her hand out of his palm, turned around and went into the house.
The moment the door closed, she leaned against it. She felt weak all over and as if she was about to fall apart.
But she didn't want to show it in front of Leng Yu, for she was afraid that he would worry and then he wouldn't get some rest.
After resting for a while, she came to the operating room. Looking at the regularly fluctuating frequency graph on the ventilator, she felt somewhat comforted.
She sat by the bed, looking at Xiao Zhi wearing an oxygen mask, and whispered softly:
"I'm sorry for you. You must be strong. I know you're a strong child. You will definitely get better. You still have a lot of things to do, don't you know?"
She knew that Xiao Zhi would not respond to anything she said. She took a deep breath, changed a bottle of nutrient solution for Xiao Zhi, and then lay down on the rest bed beside her. After a while, she fell asleep.
In her dream, she returned to her previous life and stood on a street full of strangers. She felt helpless. She was looking for Leng Yu, but she couldn't find him at all.
She felt as if her body was hollowed out. She wanted to shout out Leng Yu's name, but found that she couldn't open her mouth at all.
Suddenly, she saw two familiar figures. It was Leng Yu, who was holding Xiao Zhi's hand. Their expressions were dull, and they were walking away with their backs to her.
"Leng Yu..."
She finally cried out, but was also awakened at this moment.
Looking at the familiar operating room around her, she closed her eyes again, took a deep breath, and then opened her eyes again.
Thinking about what had just happened in her dream, a cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
She didn't know why she had such a strange dream. Leng Yu was clearly in the next room, and Xiao Zhi was clearly right in front of her.
Sitting on the bed, she took a deep breath. She thought it must be because she felt so helpless after seeing Xiaozhi being hurt like this that she had this nightmare!
Touching the beads of sweat on her head, she stood up and walked to Xiaozhi, grabbed his hand and touched it, then put her hand on his pulse. Fortunately, his pulse was beating.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she felt more comforted in her heart and more relaxed on her face.
…
The next day, in Baohe Hall, the emperor sat high up in the main hall with a gloomy expression.
Leng Zian sat upright, the anger on his face was beyond words.
It was unusually quiet here. Leng Zian finally couldn't contain his anger anymore and raised his voice and shouted:
"Your Majesty, you must give me an explanation for this matter."
The emperor frowned, turned to look at Liu Dechang, and asked in a probing tone:
"General Liu, what do you think about this matter?"
Liu Dechang's eyes suddenly sank, and he said calmly:
"Your Majesty, this matter is extremely strange. Without any grudges or animosity, who would harm a child who had just entered the palace? I spent last night up all night pondering this matter, and finally concluded that the person who did this must be someone who hopes to break up the relationship between Your Majesty and the Prince of Zhennan. Therefore, I believe that this matter must be thoroughly investigated and the person who has this evil intention must be found."
His words made the emperor frown. How could he not understand this truth? But who in this palace would do such a despicable thing?
He turned to look at Leng Yu and said solemnly:
"Yu'er, I'll leave this matter to you to investigate. You must find out the result as soon as possible and give an explanation to the King of Zhennan."
Seeing the emperor's sincere attitude, Leng Zian also changed his anger from yesterday, sighed, and replied in a deep voice:
"If this is really as General Liu said, then this man is truly despicable. If we find out his identity, we will definitely have him torn into pieces to comfort my son for the suffering he has endured."
When Xiaozhi was mentioned, his face suddenly became gloomy.
Seeing this, the Emperor asked with concern, "How is Princess Yu?"
