Seeing this, Su Fuliu, who was standing still, also stiffened up. Her body tensed up, and her hands trembled uncontrollably.
Chapter 408 Brother, please save your senior brother!
"Senior brother, senior brother!" Bai Yulang rushed over and caught Lu Chimo as he fell.
The black half-face mask fell off, revealing Lu Chimo's handsome but now pale face. He coughed twice, and blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"Senior brother, you're bleeding so much, what should I do? I can't stop it... Senior brother, don't scare me..." Bai Yulang cried loudly, his tears and rainwater mingling together. He pressed on Lu Chimo's injured abdomen, and the blood kept gushing out, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop it.
“Let’s go…” Lu Chimo said, his voice trembling as he looked at Bai Yulang.
"I won't leave, I don't want to leave my senior brother." Bai Yulang never expected that his senior brother, who was fine before leaving, would be covered in blood at this moment.
Those people were still after the ten thousand taels of gold, and seeing that Lu Chimo was still alive, they naturally wouldn't give up.
But before they could even raise their swords to strike Lu Chimo and Bai Yulang, they had already been killed by Su Fuliu.
Xie Chen, who had been secretly following Su Fuliu, didn't even have time to make a move before Su Fuliu picked up a knife from the blood and sent them to meet their maker.
All the bad guys had fallen, but Su Fuliu still tightly gripped the blood-stained knife in his hand, his face covered in blood as he stared intently at Bai Yulang, who was sitting in a pool of blood, holding Lu Chimo.
He walked towards Bai Yulang step by step, his hand holding the knife trembling slightly.
But he didn't blink once.
When he reached Bai Yulang and raised his trembling hand, Bai Yulang suddenly looked up at him and cried, "Brother, save Senior Brother! Senior Brother is dying! Please save him! He's bleeding so much... so much blood..."
That one word, "Brother," made Su Fuliu's heart clench. He blinked, glanced at the bloodstained knife in his hand, and then threw it away in horror.
"Brother, brother, please save my senior brother! He's not talking anymore, he's not answering me..." Bai Yulang cried out hoarsely.
It took Su Fuliu a while to recover his senses. He immediately knelt down, took out the silver needles he had bought and carried with him, and quickly inserted the needles into Lu Chimo's heart meridian with his left hand.
“No, we need to find shelter from the rain first. This rain is too heavy to properly administer acupuncture; the rain will wash away the needles and affect their position,” Su Fuliu said.
"Then, then let's find a place, find a place to shelter from the rain." Bai Yulang's voice trembled more than ever before; he had never felt such fear as he did at this moment.
He held Lu Chimo tightly, as if afraid that if he let go, Lu Chimo would be gone.
Xie Chen appeared and said, "There's a dilapidated temple ahead."
Su Fuliu nodded and quickly said to Bai Yulang, "Yulang, let's take Doctor Lu to the dilapidated temple ahead."
Bai Yulang carried Lu Chimo on his back: "Senior brother, don't be afraid, it's alright, everything will be alright."
These words were meant to comfort Lu Chimo, but more so, they were meant to comfort himself.
Su Fuliu said to Xie Chen, "Go back quickly and call a carriage."
"Can……"
"I'm fine. Right now, no one can hurt me. Go back and call a carriage to pick us up from the dilapidated temple."
"Okay." Xie Chen knew that Lu Chimo's condition was very bad. Thinking of Su Fuliu's killing move just now, it was clear that no one could easily hurt him. So Xie Chen quickly left.
Su Fuliu stood by, protecting him. He watched Bai Yulang carrying the nearly unconscious Lu Chimo, and his heart ached terribly.
Why would something like this happen out of nowhere?
If something happens to Lu Chimo, what will happen to his Yulang? His Yulang probably won't be able to survive either.
The three arrived at the dilapidated temple and found a spot where it wouldn't leak. Bai Yulang gently put Lu Chimo down, then slumped to the side as if he had lost his soul, holding Lu Chimo's hands tightly.
"Senior brother...please open your eyes and look at Yulang, okay? Senior brother, you...you can't leave Yulang behind. Brother Liu will definitely save you. You have to hold on, you absolutely can't leave Yulang behind, you can't..."
As he spoke, Bai Yulang began to sob again. He felt so distressed that he felt like he was suffocating.
Chapter 409 Be More Careful
"Yulang, don't cry. I will definitely save Doctor Lu." Su Fuliu took a deep breath and then began to administer acupuncture to Lu Chimo.
Bai Yulang stared intently at Lu Chimo. He had never seen Lu Chimo like this before. The Lu Chimo he had seen before was gentle and graceful, refined and elegant, soft-spoken and warm as light...
In short, his senior brother was always the gentlest person in the world. He never lost his temper, always smiled at him, and coaxed him all the time, wishing he could give him all his tenderness.
But now, his senior brother lay before him, covered in blood, his handsome face lifeless.
The rain outside gradually subsided.
But my uneasy heart remained unsettled.
At the palace, seeing that the rain had stopped, Feng Muting prepared to bid farewell to the emperor and planned to go to the city gate to welcome the Imperial Advisor.
But just as he stood up, a palace servant came in to report: "Your Majesty, Prince Ting, the Imperial Advisor has entered the palace."
Feng Muting and the Emperor exchanged a glance.
"Well, saves me the trouble of going out of the palace to greet him. He's already inside, and he's in such a hurry. Even the heavy rain couldn't stop him from entering the palace." Feng Muting sneered.
The Emperor said, "When you see Grand Preceptor Mo later, don't act like this."
"Your subject understands."
Before long, the Imperial Advisor walked in with his son.
After entering, he knelt down with his son, kowtowed, and said, "Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live ten thousand years! Your subject pays respects to Prince Ting, may Prince Ting live a thousand years!"
"Please rise, Imperial Preceptor," the Emperor replied.
The Imperial Advisor then led his son to stand up.
"The Imperial Advisor has finally returned. I have missed him dearly these past few years while he was away," the Emperor said, looking at him.
"During the years I have been on leave, I have been thinking of Your Majesty every moment and have been praying for Your Majesty's safety and well-being."
"Yes, it's good that you're back. The Imperial Preceptor's residence has always been reserved for him."
The Imperial Advisor shook his head: "I have a request that Your Majesty will grant."
"Please speak freely, Imperial Preceptor."
"I do not wish to return to the Imperial Preceptor's residence. I would like to stay in the palace. Your Majesty may arrange for me to reside in a remote and secluded palace. Would Your Majesty grant my request?"
After hearing this, Feng Muting asked before the emperor could answer, "It's rather strange that the Grand Preceptor would choose to live in a remote corner of the palace instead of his grand residence."
The Imperial Advisor sighed, “I have not returned for several years and feel guilty towards the Emperor. Now that I have returned, I wish to stay in the palace, even if it is just a remote and simple palace. I only want to stay by the Emperor’s side and continue to assist him with peace of mind. It is naturally closer to the Emperor in the palace than in the Imperial Advisor’s residence.”
His sincere and apologetic expression made it impossible for anyone to refuse him.
After thinking for a moment, the Emperor said, "Alright, there is an empty palace in the southeast corner. The Imperial Preceptor and your son can stay there."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The Imperial Advisor bowed respectfully.
Only after the Imperial Advisor and his son left did Feng Muting say, "Father, the Imperial Advisor's return this time feels even more strange."
"So it would be better for him to live in the palace, right under our noses, wouldn't it be easier to keep an eye on him?"
"Indeed, but Father, you should still be careful. The current Imperial Advisor is not the same as the one of yesteryear. If he is wholeheartedly devoted to the Feng Kingdom, that's fine, but I'm afraid he may have ulterior motives."
The Emperor sighed softly: "Alas, back then, he and I were close friends. But after he said he had to ask for leave to go back to his hometown, he didn't return for more than a month. After he came back, I felt that something was wrong with him. Perhaps it was because he didn't handle things well after returning to his hometown. Now we've grown increasingly distant."
Chapter 410 I Don't Want to Leave My Senior Brother
"Father, there's no need to lament. A true friend who can't be kept isn't a true friend. A true friend won't change with time," Feng Muting said.
The Emperor smiled and said, "Well, never mind. You should go back early today. The rain has stopped now. If it starts raining again later, you'll have to wait again."
"Then, I shall take my leave."
"You should be mentally prepared for what I'm about to tell you."
"yes."
Feng Muting left the palace, eager to return to the Prince's Mansion, run back to his room, and see his beloved baby.
But when he pushed open the door, he didn't see Su Fuliu. He was stunned for a moment and felt a little panicked. He grabbed a servant and asked him before he learned that Su Fuliu was in Lu Chimo's room.
At this moment, Su Fuliu and Bai Yulang had already brought Lu Chimo back.
Su Fuliu was still treating Lu Chimo, while Bai Yulang stood by, silently shedding tears.
When Feng Muting arrived and saw this scene, he was taken aback. He wanted to ask what had happened and why Lu Chimo was seriously injured, but seeing Su Fuliu carefully treating Lu Chimo, he didn't dare to say anything.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Fuliu finally stopped. He exhaled a breath of stale air and said to Bai Yulang, "Yulang, don't worry, everything is alright now. Just stay with Doctor Lu and wait for him to wake up, and we'll be out of danger."
After hearing this, Bai Yulang asked, "So, Brother Liu, you mean that if he doesn't wake up, he won't make it through?"
Su Fuliu was slightly taken aback, and then said, "If he doesn't wake up within three days, he will be in danger; if he wakes up within three days, he will be fine."
"I understand... Thank you for your hard work, Brother Liu." Bai Yulang kept staring at Lu Chimo lying on the bed without blinking.
"Yulang, why don't you take a shower and change your clothes? Don't catch a cold," Su Fuliu said.
Bai Yulang shook his head: "I don't want to leave my senior brother, not even for a moment."
“But you wouldn’t want your senior brother to wake up and see you in such a disheveled state, would you? Look at yourself, soaking wet and covered in blood,” Su Fuliu advised.
Bai Yulang looked down at himself and said, "Yes, I can't let my senior brother see me like this. Otherwise, he won't like it. He loves cleanliness the most. I need to wash myself clean and help him wash himself clean too. Brother, can you watch over my senior brother and wait for me to come back?"
Su Fuliu nodded gently: "Okay, go ahead."
Bai Yulang then took his clean clothes and went to find a place to take a bath.
Su Fuliu sighed softly and stood by the bedside, looking at the unconscious Lu Chimo. He was still thinking about why Lu Chimo had suddenly become like this. When they rushed over, he could hear the overwhelming hatred in Lu Chimo's hysterical roar.
So, is that Ye Wanxiu Lu Chimo's enemy?
"Ah Liu." Feng Muting walked over and called out softly.
Su Fuliu was slightly taken aback and looked at him: "Tinglang".
"What happened?"
Su Fuliu shook her head: "I don't know either. When we found Doctor Lu, he was fighting a bloody battle with someone."
Are you alright?
"I'm fine."
"You should go take a shower too. You're soaked, don't catch a cold. I'll stay here and watch over Doctor Lu," Feng Muting said.
Su Fuliu shook her head and said, "No, I promised Yulang that I would watch over Doctor Lu here for him. He is at his most vulnerable right now. If he comes back and sees that I am not here to watch over Doctor Lu, he will be nervous."
