Chapter 307: Chapter 301: Wondrous Events_1

Doctor Zheng took Lin Yue’s illness very seriously, managing to convene nearly all the noteworthy doctors in Xin’an City, yet no one could ascertain the exact nature of her problem. Despite her condition seemingly improving, she just wouldn’t wake up. By the third day, Lin Yue continued to lie in a comatose state, almost like Sleeping Beauty, oblivious to the noise outside. Left with no other choice, Zhao Erhu could only endure making various medicinal soups to nourish Lin Yue’s body. His expectations weren’t high; he hoped his wife would at least not refuse food and manage to hold onto her life for the time being. He had also heard from Doctor Zheng that the Divine Doctor from Jimin Hall was merely two days’ travel from Xin’an City. The Divine Doctor, known for his miraculous healing powers, might have a solution upon his arrival.

Jiang Ziqi had already reached the county next to Xin’an City and had planned to rest there for the night before continuing his journey when he received urgent news from Xin’an City. His expression tensed, he chose a fine horse and dashed off, leaving only a message behind, "I have urgent business and must hasten ahead to Xin’an City, you all follow at your own pace."

Jiang Ziqi hadn’t expected that he would see Lin Yue within a day or two, but to his dismay, she had taken ill. Why must this girl constantly fall ill or get injured? Couldn’t she give him some peace of mind without causing such worry?

Riding hard through the night, it was just a matter of hours before Jiang Ziqi arrived in Xin’an City, his face weathered with the journey as he appeared at the entrance of Jimin Hall. The shop assistant, upon recognizing the Young Master, hurriedly greeted him and immediately went to inform Doctor Zheng.

For the past two days, Doctor Zheng had been troubled by Lin Yue’s unceasing unconsciousness, confused about the reason behind it. Upon hearing of Jiang Ziqi’s arrival, his face brightened, and he quickly went out to greet him, "I pay my respects to the Young Master."

Concerned about Lin Yue’s condition, Jiang Ziqi nodded and asked, "Where is Lin Yue, and what is her current situation? Tell me everything you know."

Jiang Ziqi didn’t immediately visit Lin Yue, instead choosing first to inquire about her condition from Doctor Zheng. He was well-acquainted with Doctor Zheng’s medical skills, which, although not the best, were certainly quite good. Unless they were dealing with a particularly tricky case, it would be unusual for Doctor Zheng to be unable to treat an injury from a fall. Jiang Ziqi wanted to be fully informed before making any judgments.

Doctor Zheng explained Lin Yue’s condition in detail to Jiang Ziqi, whose brows furrowed as he listened, especially upon learning that even after the consultative diagnosis with the doctors of Xin’an City, nobody could determine the problem with Lin Yue. This only intensified his urgency to personally check her condition.

Seeing the Young Master so weary from travel, Doctor Zheng, understanding of his avid concern for Mistress Lin’s illness, kindly led Jiang Ziqi to the room arranged for Lin Yue. He was eager to hear the Young Master’s opinions on Mistress Lin’s strange condition, which was like nothing he’d ever encountered before. It was peculiar, indeed, considering Lin Yue once before had narrowly escaped death and miraculously recovered. So, it would not be surprising for her to have some inexplicable aspects about her. Still, he wondered if the Young Master could unravel the mystery.

Zhao Erhu had previously looked upon Jiang Ziqi with disfavor, the man who harbored feelings for his wife, greeting him only out of courtesy. Now, seeing Jiang Ziqi arrive, he felt a wave of relief and quickly ushered him inside, "Divine Doctor Jiang, it’s wonderful that you’ve come. My wife has been unconscious for some unknown reason. I implore you to look at her and see what’s wrong."

"Rest assured, I’ve been informed about her condition by Doctor Zheng. At the very least, her life is not in danger. Let me examine her right now."

"How can she not wake up when there is clearly nothing wrong with her body?" Jiang Ziqi, frowning with puzzlement, took Lin Yue’s pulse. The abrasions on her body were severe, but they were merely external injuries. Internally, she was much less harmed and had improved considerably. She should have woken up by now. What could possibly be keeping her in a coma? If it were anyone else, Jiang Ziqi, the medical enthusiast, would be thrilled to study such a unique case. But this was Lin Yue, and all he wanted was for her to wake up safely and soon.

Zhao Erhu, seeing the worried look on Jiang Ziqi’s face, felt a sinking feeling in his heart. With neither Doctor Zheng nor any of Xin’an City’s doctors able to diagnose the cause of his wife’s mysterious coma, he had placed all his hope on Jiang Ziqi. Jiang Ziqi was revered as a Divine Doctor who had once awakened him from a coma. If Jiang Ziqi was at a loss as well, did it mean that his wife was truly beyond help and destined to sleep away her days?

Such an outcome was a heavy blow for Zhao Erhu. His wife’s voice and smile, her playful teasing and charming tantrums, which had endeared her so deeply to him, were vivid in his mind. Yet now, she lay motionless. Aside from the challenging task of administering her medicine, which led him to feel she might be aware, she showed no other signs of response. But as long as she was alive, there was a glimmer of hope. Perhaps one day, she might suddenly awaken. Zhao Erhu always believed that his wife was capable of miracles, just as she once returned from the brink of death, as if from the Gate of Ghost itself.

"Let’s try this—I will use the Acupuncture Technique to unblock her channels and help regulate her body. Once she has regained some strength, if she still doesn’t wake up, we will have to resort to that method," said Jiang Ziqi after pondering for a while, deciding on a course of action. That method carried certain risks, and it would only be feasible once Lin Yue’s body had sufficiently recovered to withstand the pain. Otherwise, there was a risk that not only would the attempt to save her fail, but it would also cause irreparable consequences.

Jiang Ziqi had some reservations before deciding to use that method, which would involve making use of a certain item. As the only heir of the Jiang Family in his generation, he had been entrusted with that item only after performing rituals at the ancestral temple and accepting the seal of Family Head. This matter was still not known to outsiders. The ancestral teachings of the Jiang Family sternly warned against using that item unless absolutely necessary. Nevertheless, since it was Lin Yue, Jiang Ziqi believed that this proud woman would never content herself with lying in bed for the rest of her life, which is why he made up his mind.

"Divine Doctor Jiang truly has a solution, this is wonderful news!" cried Doctor Zheng and Zhao Erhu in unison, both having feared the worst until Jiang Ziqi offered them a pleasant surprise. Zhao Erhu was overjoyed at the possibility of his wife awakening, while Doctor Zheng was eager to witness the Divine Skill in medicine that Jiang Ziqi would employ to save Lin Yue.

As a scion of the Aristocratic Family known for passing down medical knowledge and having traveled widely and seen much, Jiang Ziqi had indeed heard of one or two cases similar to Lin Yue’s. The inherited medical dictionary of the Jiang Family contained a record of such a case, though it challenged medical explanation. While Jiang Ziqi was a brilliant medical practitioner, he did not completely dismiss the possibility of the extraordinary. On the contrary, he held a reverent attitude toward such matters, aware that in the immensity of the universe, nothing was impossible. The more he saw and learned, the less he dared to assert certainty about anything.
