Chapter 523 The Prodigal Son Returns to the Right Path
Having said that, half a minute later, Shu He still appeared in the Zhenyao Pavilion. However, she did not appear in her true face, but borrowed Yazhi's face.
Originally, Prince Jin's men wanted to send Shu Yuanqi to Xia's Pharmacy. However, Shu Yuanqi asked Prince Jin's men to transfer him to Zhenyaoge on the grounds that the doctor at Zhenyaoge had treated his leg and was very familiar with his condition.
He still has great faith in Yazhi's medical skills.
Besides, the Xia's Pharmacy today is no longer the Xia's Pharmacy of the past. The reason Xia Longze can still stay in Kyoto is because he paid for it with Xia Wenzhe's life!
Liu Ruxin broke into Xia's Pharmacy alone and killed several people from the Zheng family, causing the reputation and business of Xia's Pharmacy to plummet. Now there are no doctors left in Xia's Pharmacy.
Although the Zhen Pharmacy no longer has its attending physician Liu Ruxin, a new female physician has come in with decent medical skills. Moreover, the principles upheld by the Zhen Pharmacy remain the same as before. Therefore, the Zheng family's affairs have not had much impact on the Zhen Pharmacy.
Yazhi saw Shu Yuanqi as soon as he was sent to the precious medicine pavilion.
"Second Young Master!" This is the real Yazhi.
She had just finished clearing out the patients from the Precious Pharmacy and had no time to rest when she saw Shu Yuanqi being carried in.
Shu Yuanqi's leg injury became more serious, so serious that she could no longer handle it.
"Second Young Master, why did your legs become like this?"
Wasn't everything fine the past two days?
Shu Yuanqing gave her a wry smile and said, "I'm sorry to bother you again."
As soon as she put Shu Yuanqi into the treatment room, she was called away by Fei Qi.
When she went to the second floor and saw a woman who looked just like her, she instantly understood.
“Madam He, the second young master’s leg is very serious. I was just about to go find you.”
Shu He nodded and asked Yazhi to wait upstairs for a while.
Shu Yuanqi saw "Yazhi" come back without any suspicion. He just felt that his legs seemed to have lost all feeling.
Cold sweat broke out on his face. He saw her busy with this and that as soon as she came in, with equipment and medicine. He didn't understand what she was doing and just felt a little sorry.
However, seeing her serious expression, he knew that his leg might not be saved.
He pretended to be relaxed and said, "Miss Yazhi, I know my legs well. You don't have to be too stressed. Just do your best."
If it can’t be cured, then it can’t be cured.
"Yazhi" had a calm expression, even revealing a hint of indifference and alienation, and her tone was much colder than before.
"You are the second son of the Shu family. Can you accept losing your legs?"
Shu Yuanqi's lips curled up slightly, a hint of self-mockery on his face. "A leg may be important, but... it's a deserved fate. There's nothing to be unacceptable about it."
A hint of stiffness appeared on "Yazhi's" calm face, and a hint of strange emotion appeared in her eyes, which had always been cold.
She cut open his pants on his injured leg, which was once again covered in blood and flesh, and the wound even began to show signs of rotting and festering.
She frowned, obviously feeling a little tricky.
Seeing her like this, he touched his leg, a look of apology appearing on his face, "Miss Yazhi, you and Miss Zhang are good friends. Can I ask you for a favor?"
Seeing that she was concentrating on her legs and ignoring him, he realized that he might have disturbed her.
He stopped talking and just silently felt the instrument in her hand moving on his legs.
He saw piece after piece of bloody flesh being cut out. He didn't feel any pain, but only felt a kind of fear and discomfort intertwined from the depths of his soul, which made his scalp tingle.
He didn't know how long it had been, but he felt like he had taken a nap and then gradually woke up.
A pale blue figure busy at the table made his heart ache slightly.
"Ah He?"
He shouted in a daze, which startled "Yazhi", who was busy with her work with her back to him.
When she turned around, Shu Yuanqing realized that she had seen it wrong.
"I'm sorry, Miss Yazhi, I was confused in my sleep."
His voice was a little weak and hoarse, and it was almost unrecognizable as her original voice.
She put away the equipment and suddenly asked, "What's the matter?"
"What?" Shu Yuanqi was a little confused. He didn't know when the dust on his face was wiped off.
"What is it that you would like to ask of me?"
After hearing this, he lay on the bed with a confused look in his eyes, as if he had been thinking for a while before he figured out what to say.
"Oh, I remembered it."
"I want to ask you not to tell Miss Zhang about my situation, or rather, not to tell my sister, Shu He."
Yazhi walked over and asked calmly, "Why? Since she's your sister, why don't you let her know?"
He had a faint smile on his face, without any disguise or concealment. At this moment, he seemed to have some warmth and innocence, completely different from his usual self.
"I don't want her to laugh at me!"
He also didn't want her to worry about him anymore.
"When she was little, I always bullied her and scolded her. I used to say harsh things to her, but she never learned her lesson and always hung around me."
"I was so annoyed with her at that time, and my other sister kept telling me that she had done something embarrassing, which made me even more annoyed with her!"
"She too! Like a fool! She was scolded so harshly and hurt so deeply, but she still cares about her two incompetent brothers."
"Now that she has finally turned things around and has someone who can protect her, I don't have the chance to bully her anymore."
"I just hope she cherishes the people around her and stops wasting her energy on people who aren't worth it."
I don’t know if it was because there was still some residual anesthetic, but what he said at this time always seemed a bit unclear.
There was still a hint of haziness in her pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes.
"Yazhi" looked calm on the surface, but her heart was uncontrollably sour and painful.
He continued, "Some people are not suitable to be kept in your heart again, otherwise it will be very painful when you lose them, right?"
After saying this, he fell into a deep sleep again.
Shu He sat beside his bed, looking at him quietly.
The first time she looked him in the eyes in the front yard of the Shu family, she knew that her second brother was not what he seemed to be.
I don’t know whether to say that his acting is too good or that he is too hateful.
So, even if there were doubts about him, even if she had evidence in her hands, she still didn't want to admit that Shu Yuanqi, the man who had caused her the most harm, was a prodigal son who had turned back from his wrong path...
Looking at him now, the past seemed as clear as yesterday; but also as if it were a lifetime ago, so blurry that she could hardly remember the details of those events.
