Chapter 651 I couldn't help it
After drinking the medicine, Lu Yangyang vomited several more times until she had completely cleared the remaining toxins from her body. Only then did she finally fall asleep, exhausted.
When I woke up again, it was already noon the next day.
Fortunately, it doesn't look as scary as it did yesterday.
Lu Yangyang tidied herself up carefully before leaving Renxintang and going with Wen Yu and the others to the courtyard where Zong Que lived.
Lu Yangyang felt a little guilty when she entered the room, probably because she had been so busy these past few days. Luckily, Zong Que didn't see her.
Pei Ji stood guard at the door, while Wen Yu entered the house first.
Lu Yangyang glanced casually inside and asked Pei Ji, "Is A-Que not here at this hour?"
Pei Ji looked at her face, which was almost too thin to look like a human, and then thought of the person inside who still couldn't get up. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer.
Fortunately, Wen Yu came to the rescue in time, calling out from inside, "Come in."
Lu Yangyang walked in and heard Wen Yu sitting in front of the bed taking Zong Que's pulse.
“I had already told him about the medication beforehand, and I prescribed it for him last night so he could get a good night’s sleep. He hasn’t woken up yet because the medication is still in effect,” Wen Yu said.
Lu Yangyang remembered that she had taken the medicine and gone to sleep last night, so she didn't think much of it.
When he approached the bed, he saw that Zong Que was just sleeping peacefully, his face was a little pale, but there was nothing else wrong with him. He was slightly relieved. "Shall I take his pulse?"
Wen Yu shooed her away: "Go and call Sheng Junyi over. With me here, do I need you to take my pulse?"
Lu Yangyang was frustrated, but it was true. Although she had studied with Wen Yu for several years, she could not compare to Wen Yu's decades of experience. The most important thing now was to assist Sheng Junyi in using acupuncture and to administer medicine to Zong Que as soon as possible.
After the first dose of medicine, Zong Que's leg will be mostly healed. After another half month of acupuncture treatment, his leg will recover to about 70-80%. The rest will just require gradual recuperation.
Thinking of this, Lu Yangyang's originally extremely nervous mood became somewhat pleasant.
She prepared everything she needed and then went to call Sheng Junyi into the house.
At this moment, Zong Que had already woken up. He looked at Lu Yangyang with a gentle expression and said, "Yangyang, thank you for your hard work."
Lu Yangyang quickly shook her head: "No, that's not true. Let me help you up."
As she spoke, she was about to step forward to help Zong Que up, but Zong Que glanced at Sheng Junyi. Sheng Junyi then stepped forward and blocked Lu Yangyang's path, helping Zong Que up. "I can do it."
Lu Yangyang looked completely bewildered. What was going on today? Why were they trying to take something from her?
Sheng Junyi helped Zong Que to sit down on the prepared couch. Lu Yangyang walked over and was about to say something when Zong Que said softly, "Why have you lost so much weight?"
Lu Yangyang completely forgot what she was about to say and hurriedly covered it up by saying, "This medicine is troublesome to prepare. I haven't been able to eat or sleep well these past few days. Fortunately, it's already prepared. Once you're better, I'll go eat a whole cow."
Fearing that Zong Que would ask her more questions, Lu Yangyang quickly urged, "Let's begin!"
Zong Que nodded.
Wen Yu took Zong Que's pulse, and Lu Yangyang instructed Sheng Junyi to use acupuncture. Almost the instant the medicine was finished, Zong Que vomited mouthfuls of black blood.
Pei Ji wiped away Zong Que's blood, Ming Xiu washed the handkerchief, Lu Yangyang directed Sheng Junyi to use needles, and Wen Qingqing helped her hand over the needles. In just a short while, Zong Que's legs were covered with needles. After a full hour of work, Zong Que finally stopped vomiting blood, and the original black blood began to slowly turn red.
Lu Yangyang had Sheng Junyi remove the needles one by one, and it took nearly half an hour to finally remove them all.
Zong Que's legs were covered with tiny red and black bloodstains, which looked like dense spots. Lu Yangyang wiped the bloodstains clean with a handkerchief and then carefully applied ointment.
Zong Que had already collapsed from exhaustion.
After doing all this, Lu Yangyang collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted, unable to even lift her hands.
But she still touched Zong Que's pulse with trembling hands, and this time, Wen Yu did not stop her.
After checking Zong Que's pulse, Lu Yangyang finally breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes brightening. "Great, great, we finally succeeded!"
At first, she just thought His Highness was a good person, and she wanted to do everything she could to cure him in order to repay that kindness.
Later, this almost became her obsession.
She couldn't bear to see him suffer like that. Every passing moment filled her with anxiety and heartache. She wanted to heal him and help him stand up again.
Fortunately, she finally did it.
Lu Yangyang's eyes were full of smiles, but tears still streamed down her face.
She turned her head away and met Sheng Junyi's gaze as he looked down at her. She quickly wiped her face and said, "I didn't cry."
Sheng Junyi: "Did you get poisonous gas from it?"
Lu Yangyang nodded quickly.
Sheng Junyi chuckled to himself.
Lu Yangyang finally came to her senses and glared at him.
“It’s getting late, you should all go back. I’ll stay here and watch over him. I want to wait for him to wake up so I can tell him the good news,” Lu Yangyang said.
They came over in the afternoon, and it was already dark by then.
Everyone was on edge that afternoon, but thankfully it all went smoothly in the end.
Mingxiu brought her medicine over, saying, "Sister, you need to drink your medicine first."
Lu Yangyang reached out to take it, but Sheng Junyi took it from her and held it directly to her mouth: "Open your mouth."
Lu Yangyang's hands were so numb that she couldn't exert any strength, so she didn't say anything and obediently opened her mouth and drank the medicine in one gulp.
Sheng Junyi handed the empty bowl to Mingxiu.
Lu Yangyang looked at Sheng Junyi. No matter what, she owed him a lot this time. Otherwise, she would probably still be stuck on the issue of using needles, and things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
So Lu Yangyang said very sincerely, "Thank you."
Sheng Junyi raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"
"Thank you, Second Brother," Lu Yangyang said again.
"Get some rest." Sheng Junyi ruffled her hair.
Lu Yangyang nodded.
Wen Qingqing touched her little face, "Mingxiu and I will stay in the guest room of the courtyard where you are staying. Your uncle will also stay in the guest courtyard next door. If anything happens, please let us know immediately."
"Okay," Lu Yangyang replied.
After the others left, Pei Ji moved Zong Que to the bed and then went out as well, leaving only Lu Yangyang and Zong Que in the room.
Zong Que was still unconscious. Lu Yangyang recovered a little after a while. Looking at the bloodstains all over her body, she called a maid to boil water and cleaned herself up. When she returned to the room, Zong Que was still unconscious.
Lu Yangyang sat down on the edge of the bed, took his pulse again, and then held his hand. "Why is it so cold?"
Lu Yangyang grabbed his hand and pressed it against her face. Zong Que's fingertips brushed against her lips, and he subconsciously grabbed her hand, calling out softly, "Yangyang."
Lu Yangyang hurriedly looked at Zong Que, only to see that Zong Que's brows were furrowed and he was unconsciously calling her name.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Lu Yangyang leaned closer, intending to touch his forehead with her hand, but suddenly withdrew her hand and pressed her own forehead against his, feeling a slight heat.
"I have a slight fever," Lu Yangyang muttered. Just as she was about to get up, Zong Que grabbed her forcefully and made her fall on top of him.
In a panic, afraid of hitting his leg, she quickly used her hand to brace herself to the side, narrowly avoiding falling on him.
She breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Zong Que's face so close to hers, her eyes flickered slightly, and as if bewitched, she quietly kissed his lips.
"How can someone be so beautiful even when they're asleep?" Lu Yangyang whispered, then climbed onto the bed, moved Zong Que a little further in, lay down on his outer side, turned her face to look at him, and gently rubbed his brow with her fingertips.
"Your Highness, sleep well, I'll stay with you." Lu Yangyang rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes as well.
She didn't know how much time had passed. In her hazy state, Lu Yangyang only felt hot. She opened her mouth slightly, but the air was blocked, making it difficult for her to breathe. She slowly opened her eyes and met Zong Que's dark eyes.
"Your Highness?" Lu Yangyang mumbled, trying to push him away, but Zong Que grabbed her wrist.
"Don't move," Zong Que whispered.
Lu Yangyang's voice was quickly swallowed up by him.
It took Zong Que a while to release her.
Lu Yangyang's eyes and lips were wet with tears, and she looked at him with surprise and delight. "Your Highness, you're awake. How are you feeling? Is there anything wrong? Let me take your pulse first."
As he spoke, he reached out to touch Zong Que's hand.
Zong Que pressed down on her fidgeting hands, pressed his palm against the back of her head to draw her closer, and pressed his brow against hers, breathing slightly heavily, "Yangyang, close your eyes, I can't help myself."
Lu Yangyang was still a little dazed. She touched his face and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Tell me quickly, where does it hurt? I'll think of something to help you. Don't scare me."
"Want to know?" Zong Que grabbed her hand, placed it to his lips, and gently bit her fingertip.
"Tell me quickly," Lu Yangyang urged him. Although she had tried the medicine, their constitutions were different, and there would still be differences. What if there were any side effects?
Lu Yangyang was extremely anxious.
Zong Que held her waist, pulling her closer to him. He pressed his lips to her ear and said in a hoarse voice, "Yangyang, I woke up to find you by my side. How can I resist? Tell me."
