Reborn as a concubine's daughter and entering a noble family: Xie Lang, don't be too seduc

The seriously injured Xie Lin was temporarily placed in a side hall of Yuyang Palace. Huo Sanghua anxiously stayed by his bedside, watching the imperial physician treat Xie Lin's injuries.

It was clearly just a small, hidden arrow, but every imperial physician who came close to examine it shook their head, indicating that they were powerless to do anything about it.

But she was extremely worried. Xie Lin had fainted and was unresponsive, vomiting blood from time to time. His condition was extremely bad.

Hawthorne also had no idea how things had turned out this way...

Didn't she and Xie Lin just agree to be together?

How come, when she turned around, Xie Lin was on the verge of death after being hit by a hidden weapon while saving her?!

She could only watch helplessly as wave after wave of incompetent imperial physicians came and went, none of them able to claim they could save Xie Lin. As Xie Lin vomited more and more blood, she began to fear that he might die...

Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision time and time again.

"Don't worry, I will protect you."

Xie Lin's final promise still echoed in her ears, and he truly kept it, risking his life to protect her.

She was unharmed, but Xie Lin lay here, his fate unknown.

Lord Xie grabbed the imperial physician who was trying to escape, shouting, "What exactly happened? Tell me! What's wrong with my son?!"

"My lord..." The imperial physician, who had been grabbed by Marquis Xie, was extremely flustered. "My lord... this is no ordinary hidden weapon. This humble official truly... truly has no confidence..."

This isn't an ordinary hidden weapon?!

Upon hearing the imperial physician's explanation, Huo Sanghua also looked in this direction, wanting to find out what exactly was going on.

"What do you mean?" Xie Hou asked.

"...My lord, this hidden weapon from the Second Physician appears to have been shot into the body, but once it pierces the flesh, it immediately unfurls countless barbs, embedding themselves firmly into the wound... If we were to forcibly pull it out, it would likely... worsen the injury, and could very well lead to death!" The imperial physician said with difficulty, explaining that his medical skills were limited and he had never seen such a hidden weapon before, so he did not know how to treat it.

If the hidden weapon is pulled out rashly, it will inevitably cause more serious injuries.

They feared they wouldn't be able to save the second son of the Xie family, and that he would only cause him to lose his life in vain.

On the surface, it's an unremarkable short arrow, but its complexity lies in its intricate design. Once it pierces the flesh, it becomes firmly embedded, and forcibly pulling it out could have serious consequences...

If a large chunk of skin and flesh is torn off, it will worsen the injury, making treatment difficult.

All we can do is wait to die.

These imperial physicians were dedicated to treating the nobles in the palace; they had never seen such bizarre hidden weapons before!

"What can we do..." Huo Sanghua muttered to herself, distraught. She never imagined that Xie Lin's promise would come true so quickly. "What can we do? Is there no way to save him?"

"This..." The imperial physician wiped the sweat from his forehead, indicating that the task was extremely difficult and he dared not take the risk lightly.

Otherwise, not only would Xie Lin not be saved, but his injuries would become even more severe.

"You all need to think of something!" Xie Hou was furious, his anger and anxiety rising as he faced his youngest son, who lay on his deathbed, coughing several times. "Think of something! Is there any way to save him?!"

What if we can't save him...?

Hawthorne's heart sank.

She didn't know how to save Xie Lin.

If I had known it would turn out this way, I would have preferred to have taken the hit myself, so I wouldn't have owed him such a huge favor...

Although her initial intentions in approaching Xie Lin weren't entirely pure—she wanted Xie Lin to protect her and ensure her safety throughout the year—it certainly wasn't like this now...

Seeing him end up like this after trying to save her.

He was the first person to keep his promise to her and risk his life to protect her...

She couldn't bear to see Xie Lin die like this...

So when the imperial physicians were at a loss, unsure how to save Xie Lin, she had already habitually considered the worst possible outcome.

Will Xie Lin die?

Will he... die like this?

"Xie Lin... Xie Lin, can you hear me?" In the end, all she could do was helplessly tug at Xie Lin's sleeve, trying to call out to him. Tears fell onto the back of Xie Lin's hand, filled with her anxiety. "Xie Lin! Xie Lin, wake up... You can't die! Didn't you say you would protect me? Didn't you... didn't you still have things to do? You can't just die like this..."

A person who was laughing and joking with her just a moment ago, and who was supporting her resolve, suddenly collapsed here, as if he were about to die.

Hawthorne was consumed by despair and self-blame.

If she had never appeared in front of Xie Lin, perhaps Xie Lin wouldn't have ended up like this?

He was such a smart person, and his kung fu was so good...

Now, in order to save her, he's ended up like this.

“Xie Lin… ” Huo Sanghua was afraid, even Xie Lin abandoned her.

She finally decided to work with Xie Lin to find out the injustice suffered by the Huo family back then and to seek justice for General Huo.

How could this be...?

Xie Lin, still unconscious, showed a faint reaction. His eyes remained closed, yet he seemed to be gripping Huo Sanghua's hand tightly...

He heard her, heard Hawthorne calling his name again and again. He wanted to open his eyes and respond, to tell her he was alright. But for some reason, he was so tired, so exhausted...

I just can't open my eyes!

He could only listen to Sang Hua calling his name again and again, gradually losing his last bit of consciousness.

"Xie Lin..."

This time, Hawthorne was truly desperate.

He did respond, but only with such a faint movement, and then there was no further response!

"Is there anyone who can save him? Please help him..." she pleaded with those around her, hoping someone could help Xie Lin.

But not a single imperial physician dared to take the risk!

This man is, after all, the second son of Lord Xie.

If something goes wrong during treatment, no one can bear the responsibility!

Forcibly pulling out the hidden weapon was far too risky.

They preferred to feign incompetence and retreat rather than dare to step forward and try, so they all retreated, indicating that they were helpless.

Seeing Sang Hua weeping uncontrollably, and her youngest son lying unconscious on his sickbed, Xie Hou was overwhelmed with grief. He roared, "Go find more! Go find more people! Bring all the imperial physicians in the palace! Now—"

He refused to believe it; was there really no one who could save Xie Lin?

Even if he has to turn the entire palace upside down, he will find someone... someone who can save Xie Lin.

His youngest son was so young, just got married...

We can't let him die like this! "Ah Lin! Hold on, you must hold on!"

"Father!" Xie Shu entered the room with someone, pushing aside the imperial physician who was blocking the way and refused to treat Xie Lin. "Let Lu Ming give it a try!"

Lu Ming?!

Huo Sanghua was certain that she had heard Lu Ming's name, and she quickly looked up from beside Xie Lin.

Following Xie Shu's voice, I looked in his direction...

Sure enough, she saw that person!

How could it be him again?!

A chill ran down her spine, and she frantically grabbed Xie Lin's hand... That person, that person definitely wasn't there to save Xie Lin!
