Вдовствующая императрица Сяосюань

Глава 83

As the dust settled, only her fallen figure, her belt, and the dark blood on the ground remained, proving that a fierce battle had just taken place.

After the carriage left, it soon disappeared at the end of the road.

Suddenly, a figure flashed out from both sides of the bushes. She had a curvaceous figure and could be identified as a woman. She picked up Ru Feng from the ground, grabbed the belt, and ran back the way she came.

******

As usual, Zuiyue was currently at Shiweitianli, taking the pulse of the last customer and recommending some medicinal cuisine for him. After that, she looked around the restaurant and saw that there weren't many people left; the peak season had passed.

So he stood up, spoke with the shopkeeper, and prepared to go back to the backyard to rest. But then he discovered that someone had suddenly barged into the shop—a woman in red with a veil on her head, making it impossible to see her true face.

At this moment, Zuiyue had no time to pay attention to the woman's appearance. Out of a doctor's intuition, she first noticed the person in the woman's arms. The clothes were familiar, the hair ornaments were familiar, the arms hung limply, the slender fingers were stained with blood, and the blue shirt was covered in dark black.

Zuiyue's heart pounded violently, and a strong sense of panic surged within her.

"Senior brother!" she screamed.

The few customers were making a fuss. The innkeeper calmed down and was about to order the waiter to carry Rufeng down when Hanshan rushed out from the backyard like a gust of wind. Seeing the situation, he didn't say a word and gently picked Rufeng up in his arms. He shouted to Zuiyue, "What are you panicking about? Come to the backyard quickly. Also, quickly prepare hot water and the like."

Zuiyue was startled awake. When she came to her senses, she found herself holding a belt that her senior brother often wore. Upon closer inspection, the woman in red was gone.

Without time to think, Zuiyue rushed to the backyard at the fastest speed she had ever seen in her life.

She fed Ru Feng a pill first, then remembered to kick Han Shan out of the room. Then, Zui Yue composed herself and placed her hand on Ru Feng's pulse.

After a while, my hands started trembling again, but I breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, it arrived in time.

But looking at the bruises on her snow-white back, the bloody hole on her shoulder, the deep wound on her right arm that revealed the bone, and the countless tiny scars all over her body that weren't covered by her clothes, Zuiyue's hands couldn't help but tremble.

It's not that I haven't seen more horrific injuries before, but the person in front of me is my senior brother!

"Senior brother!" he called out, his voice choked with emotion, but he didn't dare stop wiping her body.

As she wiped her face, she noticed that her senior brother was frowning, and hot tears were slowly streaming down his face. Zuiyue felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

After treating her wounds, Zuiyue composed herself, opened the door, and went out.

As soon as the door opened, a whirlwind swept to Ru Feng's bedside. The newcomer examined Ru Feng carefully for a while before stepping out, closing the door, and looking at Zui Yue seriously: "How badly is he injured?"

Zuiyue had seen him before; he no longer possessed his usual refined and aloof demeanor. Now, his eyes were anxious, and his expression was somewhat flustered.

"It's alright. He has numerous small wounds, a sword wound on his arm, and another on his shoulder. However, the swords were coated with a strong sedative, which is why he fell into a deep sleep. In addition, his internal energy is depleted, and his internal organs have suffered some damage. He needs to rest for several months." Zuiyue said slowly, unable to calm down.

Hanshan breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Thank you for your concern for my senior brother, Headmaster."

Mu Wenchen regained his composure and said calmly, "I'll take him to my place to recuperate."

Zuiyue and Hanshan quickly stopped them.

“No, Senior Brother shouldn’t move right now, and only I can take better care of her!” Zuiyue refused without hesitation.

“But it’s very noisy here, which is not good for recuperation,” Mu Wenchen pointed out sharply.

Zuiyue hesitated for a moment, then finally relented, saying, "When Senior Brother wakes up, if he's willing, you can go and pick him up."

"Okay!" After thinking for a moment, Mu Wenchen agreed.

At this moment, Mu Tong arrived, panting slightly, and said, "Master, you ran so fast!" As soon as she finished speaking, she met Mu Wenchen's cold gaze.

Mu Tong quickly lowered his head and glanced at Zuiyue and Hanshan.

The two were sensible; Zuiyue went to the pharmacy, and Hanshan went to prepare the things Rufeng needed.

Seeing that no one was around, Mu Tong said, "That Yun Tianze is indeed powerful. He has many experts under his command, and he has injured all of our people."

Mu Wenchen said coldly, "I didn't know they became so incompetent?"

Mu Tong hurriedly lowered his head and replied, "That matter just ended, right? We thought there was no danger, so we withdrew, leaving only three people behind. We thought that would be enough, but who knew that Yun Tianze hadn't left Xiangzhou City yet, and then he ran into Ru Feng, and a fight broke out. Just as they were about to send a signal, they were attacked, so..."

Mu Wenchen interrupted him, saying sternly, "Go and be punished."

After saying that, he ignored Mu Tong and went straight into Ru Feng's room.

Mu Tong stared at the closed door, her face deathly pale.

Ru Feng remained unconscious for two days before waking up. She remained silent, her eyes calm and still.

Chapter 80 Awakening

Ru Feng remained unconscious for two days before waking up. She remained silent, her eyes calm and still.

"Senior brother, it's time to take your medicine." Zuiyue carefully held a white porcelain bowl, looking at Rufeng with joy in her eyes. Her senior brother had finally woken up!

Ru Feng rolled his eyes, looked at Zui Yue, and without saying a word, simply reached out his hands to take the bowl over, drank it down in one gulp, and didn't even frown.

Zuiyue was taken aback. This medicine was very bitter. She remembered that when they were on the mountain, her senior brother was the most impatient with taking medicine. Every time she took medicine, she would drag her feet and then she would have to give him candied dates. At that time, her senior brother was the most childish. Moreover, she always insisted that the medicine be made into pills so that it would be easier to swallow. However, some medicines take a lot of time to make into pills, so she guessed that the person would have died before the pills were made.

Unexpectedly, my senior brother was so agreeable this time, without even haggling.

Zuiyue and Hanshan exchanged a glance, and saw worry in each other's eyes.

Ru Feng, however, was already lying on the bed, stiff and straight, with his eyes open and his expression blank. If it weren't for the occasional blink of his eyes, one would really think he was a corpse.

Zuiyue sensed something was wrong and quickly took out Rufeng's hand to carefully take her pulse.

After that, she looked at Hanshan with a puzzled expression and said, "It's alright, everything is fine."

Han Shan frowned and called out, "Senior brother, senior brother!"
