Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

"Wei Yang, Xiao Wu's condition is indeed not good right now, but Physician Xu has temporarily stabilized his injuries."

"But this is not a long-term solution. Xiao Wu's condition is stable for now, but it will become more serious in the long run."

"The specific situation is like this..."

Zhu Yuanzhang then repeated what Physician Xu had just said, and Zhu Biao added details and his own speculations.

After listening to their descriptions, Zhu Yuxuan finally understood just how dangerous Wei Wu's situation was.

Seeing that Zhu Yuxuan had some understanding of Wei Wu's situation, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again:

“Weiyang, although your elder brother and I are the emperor and the crown prince, this matter concerns Xiaowu’s safety, and we cannot make a decision on this matter casually.”

"Therefore, Father Emperor sent someone to summon you. Whether or not to let Physician Xu use a miraculous medicine to keep Xiao Wu alive is a decision you must make yourself."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao initially thought that Zhu Yuxuan would hesitate as much as they did, since Physician Xu's method was too dangerous.

However, to their surprise, Zhu Yuxuan immediately looked up after they finished speaking.

At this moment, tears had soaked her cheeks, but her tear-streaked face held an incredibly resolute expression.

Without any hesitation, he immediately spoke:

"Use the medicine! No matter what, even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, I must save my husband!!"

Upon hearing Zhu Yuxuan's decision, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, but Zhu Biao couldn't help but interject.

"Little sister, you should think carefully. Doctor Xu said that this medicine is very dangerous. Even a tiny bit too much or too little can kill a person."

"Moreover, keeping Xiao Wu alive with this medicine is a long-term process, which will continue until the internal injuries in Xiao Wu's body heal."

"It's like every time you take the medication, you're teetering on the brink of death. If..."

Zhu Biao stopped there, but the meaning behind his words was clear enough that it was understandable without him having to say more.

Actually, Zhu Biao wasn't trying to stop Zhu Yuxuan; he was just pointing out the risks so that Zhu Yuxuan would be aware of them.

However, to Zhu Biao's surprise, even after he said all this, Zhu Yuxuan did not hesitate at all and firmly stated:

"Brother, I've made up my mind. I know the dangers involved, but my heart will not change."

At this point, Zhu Yuxuan suddenly turned her head and stared intently at the room that Wei Wu had mentioned.

Although blocked by the door, her gaze seemed to penetrate it, allowing her to see the person she loved most inside.

After a moment of hesitation, Zhu Yuxuan slowly spoke again:

"Without the medicine that Physician Xu mentioned, my husband will surely die. But with the medicine, he might survive. I just want my husband to come back alive."

"If...if it's true..."

Zhu Yuxuan couldn't continue speaking at this point. She took a while to compose herself before speaking again:

"On our wedding day, when my husband and I bowed to each other, we made a vow to live and die together under the witness of heaven and earth!"

At this point, Zhu Yuxuan suddenly turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang, then bent down and slowly knelt in front of him.

Because Zhu Yuxuan was pregnant, the two immediately stepped forward to help her, but they were a step too slow.

Zhu Yuxuan slowly knelt down, his eyes fixed on Zhu Yuanzhang, his voice soft yet exceptionally firm, and filled with remorse as he spoke:

"Father, our bodies and hair are given to us by our parents, and we should not damage them easily. I beg you, Father and Mother, to forgive Yuxuan's willful and reckless behavior."

“If my husband were to leave first, I would not live on alone, but the child in my womb is my husband’s only flesh and blood.”

"Yuxuan cannot let her husband die without an heir, so the day our child is born will be the day we can be reunited!"

As she spoke, Zhu Yuxuan slowly raised her hand and gently stroked her belly, her eyes filled with tenderness and longing.

Zhu Yuanzhang never expected that his daughter would be so resolute, actually wanting to go to the Yellow Springs with Wei Wu.

What kind of children in this world would say they want to die for love in front of their parents? Where does such behavior place the gratitude they owe their parents for raising them?

However, after hearing Zhu Yuxuan's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was at a loss for words.

Seeing Zhu Yuxuan at this moment reminded him of his own unwavering relationship with Empress Ma.

In fact, it wasn't just Zhu Yuanzhang; Zhu Biao, who was standing next to him, also saw the shadow of his elder sister, Chang, in Zhu Yuxuan.

The Zhu family are all sentimental, so although Zhu Yuxuan's choice was somewhat unfilial, they could still empathize with and understand it.

After Zhu Yuxuan expressed his opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang remained silent for a moment, but finally shouted "Good!"

"Good!! As expected of someone from the Zhu family, Weiyang, as your father, I shouldn't be saying this to you."

"But no one in the world can truly understand the word 'love.' Your father doesn't want to see you do anything foolish, but while physical ailments can be healed, a broken heart is hard to cure."

"If something really happens to Xiao Wu, and you... Father will have the Empress raise your child properly!"

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice. As he said, these were words that a father shouldn't have said, but he had no choice but to say them.

If Zhu Yuxuan really leaves with Wei Wu, his only concern will be his child, and that's all he can do.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to continue discussing this topic, so he immediately helped Zhu Yuxuan up.

Then he turned to look at Physician Xu, and after a moment of contemplation, slowly asked a question.

"Xu Shu, what is your reason?"

Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Xu Shu was taken aback, then bowed and asked:

"Your Majesty, please forgive my ignorance, I do not understand the meaning of Your Majesty's words."

Seeing the doubt on Xu Shu's face, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again and explained in detail.

“In the past, when you were treating patients in the palace, you were extremely cautious in your medical practice and medication, and you never used any risky treatment methods.”

"We are aware of this, but we don't think there's any problem. After all, stability is the most important thing, and as long as people can be cured, that's fine."

"But today, you are willing to risk being beheaded by us, knowing full well that the miraculous medicine is extremely dangerous, yet you still spoke out."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shu looked puzzled, then lowered his head and pondered for a moment before letting out a soft laugh.

"Perhaps, true friends are hard to find!"
