"Yi'er!"
Gu Jiangyue was standing nearby, and the spattered blood stained her white dress red. She rushed towards Gu Yi and couldn't help feeling heart - broken at the sight of his pale face.
"Quick, save him! Save him quickly!"
Gu Jiangyue grabbed Ji Yunsheng's sleeve. Unable to hold back any longer, her tears welled up and fell one by one like broken beads.
Ji Yunsheng remained surprisingly calm at this moment. Xie Jiuan comforted Gu Jiangyue while Ji Yunsheng reached out to check Gu Yi's breath.
"He can still be saved!"
Ji Yunsheng blurted out immediately. His words reassured Gu Jiangyue.
They carried Gu Yi into the room. Not knowing much about Gu Yi's condition, Ji Yunsheng asked,
"What's his illness?"
Gu Jiangyue helped Ji Yunsheng push open the door and explained,
"Gu Yi has a heart disease. He was once diagnosed as not likely to live past twenty. He has been recuperating elsewhere."
"Okay, prepare a few silver needles for me."
Ji Yunsheng laid Gu Yi on the bed. Zhi Yuan fetched a few silver needles for him.
Ji Yunsheng tore open Gu Yi's clothes and inserted several needles into his chest, then a few more on his head. Then he turned to Xie Jiuan with an unprecedentedly serious look.
"Go and find Song Zhong quickly. He won't be able to bear my treatment method. I can only keep him alive for a while."
Without wasting a word, Xie Jiuan flew out using his light - body skill. In no time, the gray - haired Song Zhong arrived with his medicine chest in hand. He rushed into the room, drove everyone out without saying a word, and then closed the door tightly.
Although worried, Gu Jiangyue had no choice but to wait outside. She stared at the door eagerly. Finally, after an hour, the door creaked slightly. Gu Jiangyue quickly looked over and saw Song Zhong walking out.
Song Zhong handed over a prescription and said,
"Go and boil the medicine according to this prescription quickly."
"I'll go!"
Gu Jiangyue didn't give others a chance. She took the prescription and rushed off. She was eager to do something for Gu Yi.
Gu Jiangyue found the medicinal materials, boiled the medicine, and quickly brought it to Gu Yi. Gu Yi had woken up this time. He was reclining on the couch, his face frighteningly pale. Gu Jiangyue's eyes were full of pity. Holding back her tears, she brought the medicine to Gu Yi.
To Gu Jiangyue's surprise, Gu Yi turned his head slightly. His breath was weak, but he still managed to say in a low voice,
"I won't drink it. It won't cure me anyway."
Gu Jiangyue heard his words clearly. Looking at Gu Yi's weak state, she couldn't hold back her tears any longer. Seeing Gu Jiangyue crying, Gu Yi seemed a bit flustered. His eyes were at a loss, but he still struggled to sit up and took the medicine from Gu Jiangyue's hand.
"I'll drink it. Don't cry."
Gu Yi steeled himself and drank the medicine in one gulp. It wasn't that he didn't want to take the medicine, but the medicine was so bitter and there was always more to drink. So he didn't want to drink it or get treated anymore.
Gu Jiangyue said nothing. She just reached out and ruffled Gu Yi's hair. His hair was very soft, so she ruffled it a few more times.
"Okay, go to rest early."
Gu Jiangyue put away the medicine bowl and left the room. Outside the door, Xie Jiuan and Ji Yunsheng were standing there, and Song Zhong was also nearby with a hesitant look on his face.
Even though it was getting late, Xie Jiuan noticed at once that Gu Jiangyue's eyes were red. Without saying a word, he stepped forward and hugged Gu Jiangyue to comfort her.
Gu Jiangyue's emotions had calmed down a bit. She noticed Song Zhong and quickly asked,
"Doctor Song, how's Gu Yi's illness?"
Seeing this, Song Zhong looked even more reluctant, but he still made up his mind, stepped forward and said,
"His illness is too serious. I can only keep him alive. If we want to eradicate the root cause, we must find three rare natural treasures. Otherwise, even if a god comes, he won't be able to live after a year."
Song Zhong looked at Xie Jiuan and continued,
"One of the medicinal herbs is in the possession of the Ninth Prince. If he is willing to take it out for now, Gu Yi's condition will improve a lot."
Before Gu Jiangyue could look at Xie Jiuan, Xie Jiuan spoke first. His tone was firm and decisive.
"Use whatever is available. I'll figure out a way for the rest. Let Song Zhong stay in the Gu Mansion to take care of Gu Yi these days."
While they were discussing outside, they didn't know that Gu Yi was hiding by the door and had heard their conversation clearly. He was well - aware of his own condition. He was just a bottomless pit for medicine. He tried his best to be cold and make everyone hate him, so that no one would be sad when he died.
But he just couldn't let go of Gu Jiangyue. Gu Yi raised his hand to touch his face and found that it was already wet with tears.
Gu Jiangyue led Xie Jiuan and Ji Yunsheng to her courtyard. The few of them discussed how to find the remaining two medicinal herbs.
Xie Jiuan thought for a while. After much deliberation, he decided that it would be better to tell Gu Jiangyue about the ambush on Gu Yi.
"On the way back, someone tried to kill Gu Yi. Ji Yunsheng and I killed them all without Gu Yi noticing. It seems to be the work of Gu Yimiao."
Xie Jiuan told the whole story, hoping that Gu Jiangyue would be more careful in the Gu Mansion.
"The deed was done very covertly. She can't be that smart."
Ji Yunsheng was sitting on one side, chewing an apple. He put forward his own opinion. He still looked down on Gu Yimiao. If it had been Gu Yimiao, she would surely have left many flaws.
Gu Jiangyue kept thinking in her mind. Gu Yimiao shouldn't have cared when Gu Yi would come back. Someone must have told her, and then she dared to come and snatch things. The person who was so kind to Gu Yimiao and had such courage... With this information, Gu Jiangyue immediately guessed who was behind it. She said,
"I know who it is. It's the mistress of the Second Branch, Gu Yimiao's mother, Shen Menglan!"
There was a glint of killing intent in Gu Jiangyue's eyes. She was fully confident in her speculation. Now most of the people in the Gu Mansion were Shen Menglan's people, so it was easy for her to get the information that Gu Yi was coming back.
"So what should we do? It's not appropriate to kill her, right?"
Ji Yunsheng finished an apple and threw the core out of the window. Gu Jiangyue's gaze followed the apple core and finally landed outside the window. She looked out.
It was completely dark now. Only a pale moon hung high in the sky, its light weak, making the night look extremely terrifying. As if suddenly struck by an idea, Gu Jiangyue curled her lips into a fierce smile and slowly said,
"I've got an idea. Let's play ghosts to scare Gu Yimiao."
Since Shen Menglan doted on Gu Yimiao so much, they would punish Gu Yimiao as a warning to others, so that Gu Yimiao would never dare to be so arrogant in front of them again.
