It was as if a switch was turned on. As soon as the blood was released, Hua Zhi's expression gradually changed, and her fair face turned red.
Gu Yanxi didn't know whether this change was good or bad, and called out urgently: "Mr. Yu!"
Yu Lao ignored him and held Hua Zhi's wrist without letting go. After a while, he sprinkled powder to stop the bleeding and said, "No destruction, no construction. You need to stimulate all her symptoms before I know how to treat her."
Looking up at him, Yu Lao said bluntly, "It's better than her sleeping like this forever."
Gu Yanxi's lips were pressed into a straight line. She was usually very quick to react, but now she turned around a few times before she understood what he meant. She would keep sleeping, and would never wake up? Just thinking about Gu Yanxi made her feel uncomfortable, as if a mountain was pressing down on her heart, a mountain that she could never overturn.
The symptoms came on suddenly and fiercely. In just a moment, Hua Zhi's face had turned red. Yu Lao stood up and told the maid waiting beside him, "Use the method that the eldest lady used before to reduce her temperature."
Baoxia ran out after hearing the sound, while Yingchun climbed onto the bed and lowered the curtain to block out all sights.
Mr. Yu wrote a prescription and handed it to someone to get the medicine. If the medicine went in, it was fine. If not...
He sighed in his heart and didn't dare to think too much. He just hoped that this girl whose heart could hold the whole world could hold him in her heart at this moment and get through this.
On the bed, Hua Zhi took off all her clothes. Yingchun was inside and Baoxia was outside. There was a basin of water next to each of them. Amid the aroma of wine, they wrung out a towel and wiped the young lady's whole body. Outside the bed, Gu Yanxi sat on the edge of the bed, his hands clenched into fists, not saying a word.
"Miss!"
Bao Xia's scream scared everyone. Bo Lin and Zeng Han rushed over here. Gu Yanxi stood up just as fast as them. She resisted the urge to lift the curtain and asked, "What's going on?"
Yingchun cried out, "Doctor Yu, the young lady's body is covered in red patches!"
“Is there any pattern to follow?”
"I, my servant, can't see anything..."
“Look carefully!”
There was silence for a moment, and Gu Yanxi used all his self-control to restrain himself from lifting the tent to check in person!
Yingchun and Baoxia were so anxious that they were trembling. They helped the young lady sit up and found in despair that there were also lesions on her back and lower part of her waist.
After wiping away the tears, the two carefully put the person down. Bao Xia looked at the legs again. She remembered that the lady here had also been injured...
Injuried?!
Baoxia held Yingchun's hand and said in a broken voice: "These places, these are the places where the young lady was injured. Later, Miss Shaoyao made medicine to remove the scars, right? Are they these places?"
Yingchun was stunned and quickly checked again. Yes, yes, that's right!
As soon as he saw her nod, Bao Xia immediately lifted the curtain to make a gap, poked his head out and shouted in disbelief, "The red areas are where the young lady was injured before, but Doctor Yu, Miss Shaoyao took good care of those areas and even eliminated the scars. How could this happen now, how could this happen..."
Old Yu paced back and forth, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Has the eldest girl been ill in the past two years?"
Bao Xia thought about it carefully and said, "It sometimes gives me a headache."
"Headache is caused by overusing her brain. It's not a disease. Is there anything else besides this?"
Baoxia turned around and exchanged glances with Yingchun, then shook her head, "I don't remember."
"You never had a fever every time you were injured?"
"No... there was one time." Bao Xia recalled, "That was the first time the young lady got injured and had a fever at the farm. There has been no such incident since then."
"Fever is normal, it means her body is healthy..."
Gu Yanxi suddenly interrupted, "She didn't have a fever even when she was seriously injured and on the verge of death at Yinshan Pass."
"I heard from Shaoyao that you fed the medicine to the eldest girl."
"yes."
Old Yu sighed. If she hadn't taken the pill, she wouldn't be so helpless right now. "That pill is a life-saving medicine, but it can also be called a dangerous medicine. After taking it, the effect of other medicines will be discounted. If she takes good care of herself, it will be fine. She can always recover, but she has never taken good care of herself."
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Old Yu signaled the maid to stretch out the patient's hand.
Looking at Mr. Yu who was frowning all the time, Gu Yanxi's fists were about to bleed out of water. He was afraid to hear any unpleasant words!
"Has the red mark changed?"
"It's even redder." Yingchun choked up, "It's hot to the touch."
"Keep wiping." As he spoke, Yu Lao poked another blood bead from Hua Zhi's fingertips, picked it up with a silver needle and took it to the door to look carefully for a moment, then said to the outside without regard to anyone, "The medicine needs to be taken quickly."
Someone immediately ran away to urge them.
Old Yu returned to the table and wrote out the second prescription. Berlin immediately stepped forward to take it and ran to hand it to the person outside the door. Everyone was eager to do more, as if only in this way could they prove that their eldest daughter would be fine.
Gu Yanxi hated this feeling of powerlessness. He could do nothing and could not help in any way. He could only wait like this. Although she was right beside him, it seemed as if there was a thousand miles between them.
In the surprised gaze of everyone, he suddenly walked out of the yard. Just as everyone was looking at each other, he quickly walked back and sat back down beside the bed. No one knew why he went out.
Basins of water were replaced one after another, and a jar of wine was emptied, but the fever never subsided. No matter how badly my body was burned, there was no trace of sweat.
There were so many people inside and outside the room, but they were all silent.
"Here comes the medicine."
Everyone made way consciously, and Nian Qiu and Fu Dong, with their skirts flying, ran straight to the young lady's boudoir as if they were not touching the ground.
Baoxia heard the noise and picked up the young lady and held her against him. Yingchun held the handkerchief on the young lady's forehead. Fudong knelt on the bed and scooped a spoonful of food to feed the young lady. After a while, she shook her head and said, "No, the young lady's teeth are too clenched."
Bao Xia immediately tried to pry the young lady's mouth open, but Fu Dong couldn't help but remind her, "Be gentle, it will hurt the young lady!"
"It would be great if the young lady could be awakened by the pain." Bao Xia said stubbornly, stiffening his neck, but his movements were obviously more cautious.
The two of them worked together and finally fed the medicine in, but before they could be happy, the medicine flowed out from the corners of their mouths. Fu Dong became anxious and scooped a spoonful and fed it in again, but the same thing happened again.
"Miss, please drink the medicine. How can you get better if you don't drink it..." Fu Dong begged in a low voice, scooped another spoonful, put the bowl aside, used his free hand to pinch the young lady's nose, pried open her mouth and fed her the medicine, then used the spoon to press against her teeth, forcing the medicine to slide into her throat.
"Is it done?"
Fu Dong said nothing, and waited for a while before letting go of her hand and taking out the spoon. When she saw the black potion flowing down the corner of her mouth again, she broke down and cried out, "Miss, please drink it!"
Although Mr. Yu was mentally prepared and had written a new prescription, his heart sank when he heard the noise, "You can't feed it at all?"
"Miss, Miss, she doesn't swallow..."
"I'll do it." Gu Yanxi couldn't bear it any longer and lifted the curtain and got on the bed with a cry of surprise. Several maids looked at him helplessly, "Miss, Miss, you are not wearing any clothes!"
