The events with Wu Qing replayed like a carousel in Liu Yushu's mind. In great pain, she closed her eyes tightly. The candle in her hand dropped to the ground. She covered her ears with both hands and sobbed, "No, don't come near me, you scoundrel! Stay away from me!"
Wu Qing had become a demon in her heart, leaving an indelible shadow. Tears streamed down her face. She truly wanted to die. Just the thought of what Wu Qing had done to her would plunge her into pain and despair. She felt that her life would be bleak from then on, with no more happiness.
In her previous life, she had a miserable end, being tortured and killed by a scumbag. In this life, she just wanted to live a peaceful life, but unfortunately, she was still tortured by ill - fated relationships and was in a terrible state.
"Liu Yushu, it's all your fault. Now I'm suffering in the underworld. You're here too. You deserve it. You deserve to die a bad death. I'm so delighted to see you die," a crazy and shrill laugh of a woman echoed all around, surrounding her like boundless waves and making her flustered.
Liu Yushu opened her eyes. Through her tear - blurred vision, she saw the blood - stained face of Concubine He. Not only Concubine He, but also Concubine Sun, Liu Yuyu, Liu Yumei and Liu Yanhao. These people had long been dead.
"Don't come here! Don't pester me! Your deaths are due to your own evil thoughts. You deserved to go to hell," she cried and cursed angrily. She propped herself up and ran, trying to get rid of the evil spirits. Suddenly, something cold grabbed her ankle. She fell to the ground at once. Looking down, she immediately let out a terrified scream.
A tattered person was lying by the roadside, covered in wounds. The hands, feet and body were separated. Judging from the wounds, they should have been cut off by a sharp weapon.
"Liu Yushu, you'll die a bad death. You're a natural slut. You'll surely die in a man's hands sooner or later..." the tattered and terrifying corpse cursed her in a low voice.
Liu Yushu summoned her courage and kicked the corpse away forcefully, retorting, "I have no grudges against you. Why do you curse me?" Taking a closer look at the scar - covered face, she gasped in horror and only then realized that the corpse was actually Zhao Qin.
The fact that Zhao Qin was here meant that he was already dead.
He deserved to die! But... who killed this bastard Zhao Qin?!
Liu Yushu had no idea that Wu Qing had tortured and killed Zhao Qin.
In the room, Dr. Yan looked solemn. After taking Liu Yushu's pulse, he took out dozens of silver needles and gave her acupuncture treatment. If the bleeding from the wound could be stopped, Liu Yushu might come back to life. If not, she might pass away.
An hour passed. There was no sign of Liu Yushu waking up. Her face was deathly pale. Mu Chan kept wetting a towel with warm water to wipe her face and body to keep her warm, but the blood... kept flowing.
If this continued, Liu Yushu would die from excessive blood loss.
Mother Xie was so anxious that she knelt down in front of Dr. Yan and cried and pleaded, "Doctor, you must save Miss Shu. She's only seventeen. She can't go to such a cold and desolate place as the underworld. Please save her."
Dr. Yan quickly helped Mother Xie up and sighed worriedly, "If I could save Miss Liu, I would surely do my best. But in my more than thirty years of practicing medicine, I've never seen a girl injured so severely. It's really hard on Miss Liu. It's already a great blessing that she didn't die from the pain at that time." After a pause, Dr. Yan rolled his eyes and said, "Now, there may be only one last way to bring Miss Liu back to life, but this method is very dangerous and not something an ordinary person can do. If there's a mistake, Miss Liu will die immediately."
"Oh... what shall we do then!" Mother Xie was dumbfounded.
Mu Chan noticed that Liu Yushu's hands were getting stiff and shouted in panic, "Mother Xie, something's wrong with the miss. Please make a decision quickly."
"We can't care about so many things now. Saving the patient is the top priority. What exactly is the method? Dr. Yan, please tell us truthfully," Mother Xie urged.
Dr. Yan hesitated for a moment and then said, "We must open the wound to let the stagnant blood flow out and then use medicine. Maybe we can save Miss Liu's life. But the difficult part is that there's a taboo between men and women. I can't treat her. If word gets out, Miss Liu's reputation will be ruined."
Mother Xie was completely stunned. Dr. Yan's words made perfect sense. A girl's innocence couldn't be ruined. But they couldn't just watch the girl die either. Caught in a dilemma, Mother Xie was at a loss.
Just when everyone was in a hurry, Zui Tao rushed in, followed by a middle - aged woman in a royal - blue dress. The woman was dressed exquisitely and华丽. She didn't smile at all. Her serious expression revealed strictness. She said loudly, "Let me do it."
Everyone in the room was extremely shocked.
The middle - aged woman walked over, gave Dr. Yan a disdainful look and ordered arrogantly and coldly, "You, get out. No man is allowed in a girl's boudoir, no matter who he is." The implication was that if Dr. Yan didn't behave himself, he would lose his life.
Dr. Yan wisely retreated.
Mother Xie frowned and questioned, "Who are you?" From the woman's dressing and the golden dragon hairpin on her head, she could roughly guess that this woman was from the palace and had a relatively high status. After all, ordinary people didn't dare to wear something related to the dragon. That was an offense to the emperor, and if discovered, the whole family would be executed.
"Mother Xie, this is Nanny Lu from the Prince of Yu's Mansion," Zui Tao replied in a low voice.
The Prince of Yu?!
