Xiao Yan froze in place, staring blankly at the person on the couch, his voice a little vague.

"he is……"

Judge Xu's expression returned to its usual calmness and he wiped the blood off his hands.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Lu Ziqing's bleeding has stopped, so he's been saved. His brief unconsciousness is due to damage to his vital energy. He's too weak and tired. He'll need to take medicine and recuperate slowly."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan let out a long breath, and then he realized that he had forgotten to breathe before. His breathing had not yet calmed down when he heard Xu Yuanpan's instructions.

"The bleeding has stopped for now, but we still need to observe him. If he can get through tonight safely, then he'll be fine."

After they finished cleaning up, they went out to write a prescription. Xiao Yan was startled by the sound of the door closing, and his expression changed.

He stood beside the couch in a trance, then slowly squatted down and held the bloody hands.

In his impression, Lu Ziqing always looked gentle and humble, and he could often be seen busy at work in the military camp.

But this kind of deadly sleep is the first time I have seen it.

Xiao Yan reached out and gently wiped the blood off Lu Ziqing's face, feeling apologetic.

When he brought the person to the capital, he originally wanted to repay him, but now he can't repay him, instead...

A heavy feeling of suffocation filled his heart, making him feel very uncomfortable. He buried his head in his hands.

a long time……

I only heard a muffled "I'm sorry"

Xu Shizhang passed by the imperial physician's office. The people in the inner room were still chatting and laughing. When he stepped over the threshold, everyone immediately stopped talking and walked out as if nothing had happened.

When a few people passed by Chi Musheng, there seemed to be a smile on his face. He glanced at their backs coldly, went into the house, sat down and wrote a prescription.

Xu Shizhang asked him, "What happened? And who caused the wound on your face?"

After a while, Chi Musheng's face was more swollen than before, the corners of his eyes were almost narrowed into a slit, and his cheeks were twitching in pain.

He stopped writing and said, "It was the Concubine Chen who was deliberately making things difficult for us."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shizhang frowned and sighed deeply, with a bit of anger.

"I think she is the only one who could do that. A concubine in the harem would beat and scold court officials at will, showing no regard for the emperor's dignity. This is really too much."

Chi Musheng said, "She has relied on the military achievements of the Guo family to take her anger out on us more than once. I want to report her but I can't. This official is really frustrated."

"We can't reach it, but someone can." Xu Shizhang's anger had not subsided yet, and his eyes moved away from Chi Musheng's face.

"Lu Ziqing's suffering this time, Xiao Yan will not let it go. The Xiao family and the Guo family are incompatible. If we get rid of them, our future life will be better."

As night fell, candlelight from outside the courtyard shone through the doors and windows. In the dim light, Xiao Yan held Lu Ziqing's hand tightly and watched him sleeping.

"Council Judge Xu said everything is fine. You'll wake up after taking the medicine, and you'll be fine after taking good care of yourself. I'll take you back later."

Faintly, he seemed to reach out and touch Lu Ziqing's face, and continued to speak without any response.

"Did you hear that? The prince's illness depends on you. He even asked me today, 'Where else can I find a doctor as good as you?' Since you came, you not only helped the people of Meizhou, but also helped him out of his predicament. I say... it's fate."

The door behind him opened, Changsheng lit the lamp in the room, and Chi Musheng followed him in with medicine.

He put the bowl on the table, looked at Xiao Yan's back and whispered.

"Give him the medicine when he wakes up. I'll be waiting in the office outside. Call me if you need anything, my Lord."

Xiao Yan then stood up and looked at Chi Musheng, asking him, "Why is he vomiting blood for no reason?"

Chi Musheng glanced at Lu Ziqing.

Although Concubine Chen punished both of them, it was more because Lu Ziqing ate the ice alone for him.

If he hadn't acted impulsively and just admitted to being cowardly for a moment, perhaps the situation wouldn't have been so bad. Now that it has turned out like this, he feels guilty and ashamed.

Chi Musheng turned around to look at Xiao Yan and said, "He has stomach problems. He ate a lot of ice when he was tired and extremely hot, which suddenly irritated his stomach and intestines. That's why..."

"Ice?" Xiao Yan looked suspicious, then saw Chi Musheng's bruised face and understood what was going on. "Why would he eat ice? Who told him to eat it?"

"This is all my fault," Chi Musheng said. "When Hongxiu punished us this afternoon, I shouldn't have acted impulsively and caused him to be like this... Alas."

Xiao Yan's face was covered with a layer of coldness again, and he said, "So... it's Concubine Chen."

Chi Musheng nodded and said "hmm".

Before the curfew, Xiao Yan ordered someone to bring a carriage to take Lu Ziqing and Chi Musheng back to the Marquis' Mansion.

In the main room of Chongcuixuan, the servants put down the hot water and left.

Because he left in a hurry, Chi Musheng didn't bring any medicine with him.

The Marquis' Mansion never had as much spare medicinal materials as the Imperial Hospital. If there was an emergency at night, they could only watch and watch without matching medicine.

He looked at the bedside, where Xiao Yan was wiping Lu Ziqing's face. He asked, "Why did the Marquis insist on bringing him back here? In the Imperial Hospital..."

"There are medicines in the mansion. Doctor Chi, please go to the warehouse with the servant outside the door to check." Xiao Yan said frankly.

"You're welcome, Lord Marquis."

In the corner of the outer house, Xiao Si opened the door of the storeroom. He looked at Chi Musheng and said, "Doctor Chi, what medicine do you need? Go in and take a look yourself."

As soon as Chi Musheng pushed open the door, he smelled the scent of herbs and was stunned when he went in.

The warehouse is very large, with several large wooden cabinets standing in the middle and short wooden cabinets around the walls. Their furnishings and appearance are for storing medicinal materials.

He looked around in surprise, and every time he opened a drawer, he found different kinds of medicinal herbs inside, almost everything one could imagine.

The scale is no less than that of a large private pharmacy.

Speaking of spare medicinal materials, it stands to reason that the minister's mansion would have some stored there, but the types were limited and few.

I have never seen so many things like in Xiao Yan's mansion, stored on such a large scale.

Chi Musheng put the ginseng back into the drawer and said with a "tsk!", "I didn't expect this cold-faced military marquis to like dealing in medicinal herbs? Strange!"

Lu Ziqing reluctantly took some medicine in the Imperial Hospital and was in a coma for an hour. Now he finally opened his eyes.

He felt weak all over, with a burning pain in his stomach, and only a slight dampness on his face. He slowly turned his head and saw Xiao Yan wiping his face with a cloth.

Lu Ziqing met his gaze and was about to speak, but the man beat him to the punch.

"You're awake. How do you feel now? Is there any pain?"

Lu Ziqing's consciousness was still a little confused, and he did not answer immediately. He turned his eyes to the ceiling, and it took him a moment to realize that he was in Chongcuixuan.

He immediately recalled Hong Xiu's vicious face, Chi Musheng being beaten, and vaguely remembering her carrying him on her back, spitting blood on the way...

This time was even worse than the time he fell into a cave while collecting herbs in the mountains.

"Chen Fei! Hong Xiu!" Lu Ziqing clenched his fingers unconsciously, muttering in his heart, "You almost made me meet the King of Hell. Next time, I will send you to meet the King of Hell too."

The strength of his fingertips was not on gripping the fabric, but on Xiao Yan's hand.

Xiao Yan thought he was in pain again, so he held his hand tightly, moved closer and asked, "What's wrong? Is it still painful?"

Lu Ziqing then turned to look at him and said in a hoarse voice: "Chi..."

"He's fine. He's also in the Marquis' Mansion. He's going to make medicine for you."

Still like this, this person always spoke before he could. Lu Ziqing raised the corner of his mouth and said slowly: "The Marquis has predicted my words again."

"What?" Xiao Yan didn't react for a moment. He looked into his eyes and said, "Lie down first. I'll be out for a while."

He originally wanted to go to the kitchen to make porridge for Lu Ziqing, but was stopped by Chi Musheng.

"You can't eat anything right now because the bleeding has just stopped. Wait and observe. If there's nothing wrong the next day, you can drink some rice soup or something like that."

Su Chengfeng was stunned when he came back. Seeing Lu Ziqing looking sick and listless, with the bloody clothes still in the corner, he quickly walked to the couch and squatted down, looking anxious.

"How did it become like this? Who did it?"

"Don't worry." Lu Ziqing said weakly, "I was unlucky today. I was just given a hard time by that evil woman."

"Give it back?" Su Chengfeng was anxious and distressed, "You're already injured like this."

"I'm really fine." Lu Ziqing forced himself to smile, "Look, I'm fine."

"Uuuuuu——"

Wu Ji squatted at the end of the bed and cried loudly, which was exactly the scene of "unfilial descendants who did not have time to see their old father for the last time".

Su Chengfeng was already upset and angry, and the crying was like a pool of wax, pouring more on the fire in his heart, causing his anger to suddenly surge even higher.

He slapped the wailing man and said, "Are you done yet? If you cry again, I'll beat you up."

When Xiao Yan came back and saw Su Chengfeng there, he went out and talked to Yang Zhounan in the yard.

"How's the young doctor? Why is he vomiting blood?"

Xiao Yan said, "He's awake. Someone in the harem punished him by making him eat a lot of ice."
