The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 129 - 109: Her Face Disfigured, Plus Miaojiang Gu Poison
Noticed her pale little face, her lips trembling.
"Princess..."
"What happened? Who did this?!"
To be honest, Yun Chunnuan didn’t dislike this Second Madam, she even found her straightforward nature somewhat endearing.
Even though she once poisoned me, the poison quickly faded away.
At most, it made me look ugly for a few days.
Compared to that mother and daughter pair Madam Jing, someone like Lian Qiao is openly malicious, never underhanded.
So, I don’t dislike her.
In other words, even if I did dislike this woman, given her current miserable state...
She couldn’t comprehend, who could have been so ruthless?!
Sitting at the bedside, administering a pulse diagnosis to Lian Qiao, He Xuanzhi sighed deeply, "It’s her fate not to perish, if you hadn’t called me early today, I would’ve planned to leave the city soon.
She’s disfigured, and on top of that poisoned by Miaojiang’s venom. In this world, only two people can save her, one is my master, the other is this Divine Doctor."
Miaojiang’s venom...
Disfigurement...
And it all happened at the General Mansion.
Even if the poisoned and disfigured person wasn’t Lian Qiao but just a servant, Yelyu Lie would absolutely not tolerate such presence!
Because of the incident last time with the Little Princess and that dog of a Prince, Yelyu Lie had already tightened the mansion’s security.
Several highly skilled guards had been quietly protecting the residence.
How could someone turn into such a sorry state right under his nose?!
"Can it be determined what kind of poison from Miaojiang?" Yelyu Lie shielded Yun Chunnuan, asking softly.
He Xuanzhi took out some items from his medicine chest which no one could understand their purpose.
Because he was busy and silent, the room was so quiet that only the sounds of breathing could be heard.
Yelyu Lie, being impatient by nature, was getting a bit annoyed, just about to urge him, the Little Princess who had come to his side pinched his hand and gestured ’shush’.
A matter of life and death, and it was in the General Mansion.
Yun Chunnuan had already considered this place her home, even if it was about sending Lian Qiao away, she couldn’t sit by and do nothing with such an incident happening at her own home as the hostess.
Time passed slowly, not sure how long it had been, Yun Chunnuan felt her feet growing numb from standing.
The handsome doctor at the bed finally exhaled a long breath, "Seven-injuries poison, heh, the person who used this poison is truly vicious!"
He said, somewhat angrily, "This poison won’t kill someone immediately, but will cause the body to rot inwardly over seven days, eventually dying in agony from rotten intestines.
The terrifying part is, you can clearly feel your rotting body, yet you cannot die..."
"Can she be saved?" This was Yun Chunnuan’s main concern.
A girl, having her face ruined was already tragic, especially for a beauty like Lian Qiao, and having to suffer the agony of rotting insides!
Just thinking about it made her feel a chill beneath her feet, utterly terrifying!
He Xuanzhi raised his eyes, looking at the eager Little Princess, "She can be saved. But for her, perhaps a swift death would be kinder than living."
His gaze then fell on the man beside the Little Princess, "Save her?"
Not just He Xuanzhi, in everyone’s eyes, Yelyu Lie was the sole master of the General Mansion.
For the people in his mansion, deciding whether to save or not naturally needed the master’s decision.
No matter who the person was, even if it was Wu’er or Qiao’er, Yelyu Lie would resolutely say just one word, ’Save’.
But just as the word was about to escape his lips,
Yelyu Lie suddenly stopped, looking down at the Little Princess tightly holding his hand.
Yun Chunnuan hadn’t realized he was seeking her opinion.
Her attention was all drawn to the disfigured woman lying on the bed.
She was wondering if the Blood Beads could restore her face, since the old scars on the Barbarian General’s back had been healed...
Her new injuries should be too, right?
Yet, she waited a long while without hearing the man’s response.
She raised her eyes to look at him, instantly understanding his intention...
He considered all her feelings, no matter when, where, or under what circumstances, her decision was always his top priority.
Saying she wasn’t moved would be a lie.
A warm feeling surged in Yun Chunnuan’s heart, she gently squeezed the big hand holding hers, "Why are you looking at me, of course, save her! Life is precious, no one has the right to arbitrarily take someone else’s life.
If Lian Qiao herself loses hope, that’s her business, but others must not give up.
You agree, don’t you?"
Yun Chunnuan felt the big hand holding her small one slowly tighten, gripping more firmly.
The early morning sunlight streamed through the lattice window onto his profile, his lips curved slowly, his gaze like liquid glass, filled with comfort, attachment, and an intense, unbreakable deep affection.
"All listen to madam."
"Ahem!"
At this point, He Xuanzhi, who couldn’t bear it anymore, coughed heavily.
He wanted to ask, could you two possibly act more like humans!
The patient lies on the bed with her life in the balance, still your concubine, can’t you choose a better time to show affection!
Is that polite?
Are you two being polite?!
Who would have thought, the same man just full of deep affection, suddenly kicked him hard, "Cough what! If you’re sick, take medicine!"
He Xuanzhi: "..."
So, will you save or not?
He really needed to calculate how much he could earn from this!
None noticed, the woman who had been lying unconscious on the bed opened her eyes just then.
Her gaze fell on that delicate and graceful silhouette, her voice weak like a thread, "I...returned to you...what I owed you...I’ve returned all...returned all..."
