Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

He Zan quickly explained, "Mr. Gu, don't be nervous. Doctor Lu just wants to see your eyes."

The man then let go.

Lu Yaoyao gently untied the black cloth covering his eyes. The moment she saw his face, she even forgot to breathe.

How could it be him?

——Gu Huai!

Wasn't he dead? His body was brought back to the capital for burial.

Am I hallucinating?

Lu Yaoyao rubbed her eyes hard to make sure she was not mistaken, covered her face, and quickly walked out the door.

The man looked puzzled.

"Miss He, what happened?" He was blind but had excellent hearing. He heard the sound of someone running, and from the sound of footsteps, he was sure it was not He Zan.

He Zan was also confused. "Master, please be patient. I'll go out and check the situation."

He Zan came out, and Lu Yaoyao looked up at the sky, trying hard to swallow back her tears.

She couldn't let He Zan and Gu Huai notice her emotions, and couldn't let Gu Huai recognize her.

First, Gu Huai was no longer her target, so why should she let him know that she was involved with him again?

I am no longer worthy.

Second, Gu Huai looked like this, he must have been injured and nearly died on the battlefield. If he recognized her rashly, he would definitely not be able to accept her seeing him in such a miserable state.

Pretending not to know him would actually make it easier to treat him.

"Miss Lu, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Yaoyao quickly adjusted her mood, turned around, and forced a smile. "It's okay, He Zan, I just felt a little unwell suddenly, it's nothing serious. Let's talk about Master Gu's condition first."

Although He Zan was full of doubts, he did not ask any more questions when he saw that Lu Yaoyao looked normal. Instead, he became worried about Master Gu, "Then Master Gu..."

"His condition is a bit complicated," Lu Yaoyao pondered for a moment. "It seems his legs are paralyzed due to long-term nerve damage, and his eyes... I need further diagnosis to determine if it's possible to restore his sight. This may be a long-term battle and will take a huge amount of time."

energy.

He Zan hesitated for a moment, but thinking of Heizi's mocking words, she quickly became resolute, "Miss Lu, as long as there's a glimmer of hope, we can't give up, right? I believe in you, and I also believe that Master Gu will definitely get better."

Lu Yaoyao looked at He Zan's determined eyes, and her heart was slightly touched. She nodded, "Okay, I will do my best."

"There's one thing I want to tell you. In the eyes of doctors, all patients are equal, so I hope you won't overthink or get jealous about my actions."

He Zan blushed and nodded, "I understand."

After the two of them discussed it, they returned to the room. Lu Yaoyao didn't want Gu Huai to hear her, so she deliberately changed her tone and said, "Mr. Gu, your injuries are quite complicated, but there's a chance they'll recover. I hope you'll cooperate actively during the treatment. You'll need to soak in the medicine and undergo acupuncture, so it might be painful."

"I will cooperate."

He is now a disabled person. If he can be cured, he would be willing to pay a thousand times the price.

"Well, could you try to open your eyes so I can take a closer look?"

Gu Huai cooperated and opened his eyes.

When Lu Yaoyao looked at him, his eyes were still as beautiful as ever, as bright as the morning stars. It was a pity that he was blind now.

Lu Yaoyao took a deep breath, forced herself to bury her emotions deep in her heart, and focused on the diagnosis at hand.

She carefully examined Gu Huai's eyes, thinking about possible treatment options in her mind.

"Mr. Gu, it looks like your eyes were damaged by something poisonous, but the damage wasn't treated promptly, leading to blindness. Recovery will take time, but that doesn't mean there's no hope. As for your legs, I'll prepare a special herbal decoction for you to soak daily, and I'll also use acupuncture to dredge the meridians and promote blood circulation."

Lu Yaoyao's voice was calm and composed. Although Gu Huai couldn't see, he could sense the confidence in her tone, and a surge of hope ignited in his heart. "I'll leave everything to Doctor Lu's arrangements."

Lu Yaoyao wrote a few lists and asked He Zan to buy them from the nearby pharmacy. If they were not available, she would go to the farther and larger town to buy them herself.

After a few days of preparation, she began to treat Gu Huai.

She wanted to touch his eyes and legs at the same time, but she was afraid that he couldn't bear it, so she started with his legs first.

She personally prepared the herbs and carefully adjusted the acupuncture points. At the end of the day, she was exhausted. Gu Huai was also very tired and pale.

She knew how painful this treatment was, but Gu Huai endured it.

The same thing happened on the second and third days.

He Zan couldn't bear to see the dense needles on Gu Huai's legs and left the room.

Lu Yaoyao felt more at ease when she was not around.

She placed her hand on Gu Huai's shoulder and said gently, "Mr. Gu, if you can't bear the pain, you can scream out. You don't have to endure it. Forcing the pain to concentrate in one place will only double the pain and make it even more unbearable."

"I'm fine. I can still bear it. Please increase my treatment in a few days. I want to get better quickly."

"Don't rush this, otherwise it will hurt your body. After all, medicine is three parts poison."

Gu Huai inexplicably felt close to her and was actually willing to talk to her more. "I have someone I'm anxious to see."

Lu Yaoyao felt a pain in her heart.

Does he still think about her?

But she could no longer respond to him, even in disguise.

There was no name to lend her the money.

"How can you be sure that the person you want to see is still waiting for you there? Maybe she has already found a new lover or someone else."

Gu Huai's tone darkened. "I know, but it's not her fault. It's my fault for putting myself in this situation. I can't give her happiness. It's justified for her to look for someone else."

He also wanted to find an excuse for her.

Lu Yaoyao didn't know what to say. She wanted to scold him, but seeing him like this, she felt even more guilty.

"Don't be impatient. More haste makes waste. You have to listen to the doctor. Take a shower and change clothes later. I'll have He Zan push you outside for a walk to relax. I'll burn sandalwood in your room so you can sleep better at night."

"No, I don't want to go out in this state."

It turns out that no matter how strong a person is, he will become inferior when he falls into desperate situation.

"It's okay, no one will say anything to you, the people here are very nice."

"No." He still refused.

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao could only say, "Okay, if you don't want to go, I'll play two soothing songs for you later."

"it is good."

He Zanxin brought in clean water, Gu Huai took a bath and changed his clothes, and Lu Yaoyao played a soothing song for him. He Zan could not help or say a word, so he had to prepare dinner.

The sun was setting in the west and a group of egrets flew by. Lu Yaoyao played a song related to the scenery to suit the occasion.

"Gu Huai, the sunset is beautiful today."

"Gu Huai?" Gu Huai's expression suddenly changed. "I don't think I've ever told you my name? How did you know it?"

Lu Yaoyao suddenly realized that she had let something slip and quickly explained, "Miss He told me."

"I haven't told her that either."

Lu Yaoyao was confused, "Maybe you said it in your dream and she remembered it."

"right."

He thought that the woman in his mind was definitely not here.
