Chapter 1382: Chapter 18 The Same Hidden Force (18)

Princess Consort Wei had had enough of life in this rural backwater!

Calling this place a "detached residence" is putting it mildly; more harshly, it’s just a manor where one can rest their feet! For someone like her, who was raised in luxury and has never suffered hardships, staying even one more day was torture!

But right now, the one sitting on the throne was also here. Not to mention Prince Wei, even she wouldn’t actually leave, no matter how much she verbally complained to quench her craving for luxury. She hadn’t really meant it.

The couple made trips to Qin Mansion every other day to visit the Emperor and Empress. Most of the time, they would not see anyone, but occasionally, Qin Yi could be spoken to for a bit. However, Princess Consort Wei hadn’t even had a chance to see Su Pan’er, which only added to her complaints.

Waking from her deep sleep, Su Pan’er learned that Little Shitou had been hurt while protecting Ke’er, and after pondering for a moment, she sent someone to send a message to Su Ke, asking him to return home once.

Even though Su Ke was worried about Shuang’er, he still had to go.

But he never expected that in just a few days of not seeing her, his Fourth Sister had unexpectedly withered away to nothing but skin covered bones.

"Fourth Sister..."

Tears welled up in Su Ke’s eyes as he thought of his sister, who was ill but still concerned about his wellbeing. He immediately knelt down in front of Su Pan’er with a thump.

"Ke’er, you’re here. Come closer, let Fourth Sister have a look at you."

Su Pan’er beckoned to him.

After waking up this morning, Su Pan’er felt much better than before. Though she looked haggard, as long as she took care of herself properly, her health would recover after some time.

Su Ke quickly knelt and moved forward, coming close to the side of Su Pan’er’s bed.

"Fourth Sister, Ke’er is here."

"Why have you lost so much weight, you child?"

Su Pan’er gently stroked his head, sighed, and then dropped her hand, "Do I look very unsightly right now? Don’t worry, Fourth Sister was just injured and will recover after a few days of care. But what about the internal injury in your body, how did it happen?"

Her question made both Su Ke and Qin Yi look up at Su Pan’er.

"You’re saying Ke’er has suffered an internal injury?" Qin Yi put aside the Memorials to Emperor he was holding and walked over.

"Indeed!"

Su Pan’er nodded and closed her eyes. "The force that hurt him was The Power of Yinrou. This force lingers around his heart orifices. On Usual Days it lies dormant and unnoticed when taking the pulse. By the time it’s discovered, it is often mistaken for Tuberculosis..."

After saying this, she looked up deeply at Qin Yi.

A scraping sound came from Qin Yi’s fingers as his hands suddenly clenched into fists and with a sudden punch, he struck the chair beside him.

The chair couldn’t withstand such force and suddenly burst apart, with splinters flying everywhere.

"Are you sure you haven’t made a mistake?"

Qin Yi’s voice was deep and grave.

"I am not mistaken!"

Su Pan’er said with certainty. She looked into Qin Yi’s deep eyes, but saw his body trembling slightly.

"Fourth Sister, Fourth Brother-in-law, I was caught off guard by a villain’s subtle attack, truly, I’m fine. You don’t have to worry."

Su Ke looked annoyed, feeling sorry for his Fourth Sister and Fourth Brother-in-law for worrying over his condition.

"Silly child!"

Su Pan’er shook her head and asked someone to bring Paper and brush, quickly wrote a prescription: "Take this prescription, get the medicine and decoct it for consumption to stabilize your condition temporarily. As for the rest, wait until Fourth Sister’s health improves, then I will treat you."

She handed over the prescription to Su Ke, and with a concerned tone, she urged earnestly: "Remember not to reveal your treatment condition to the other party. Keep this in mind, keep this in mind!"

"Fourth Sister, Ke’er is not a child anymore!"

Su Ke was somewhat amused and exasperated. Was Fourth Sister treating him as a three-year-old child?

He and that Zhang Zhongding were like two people who couldn’t coexist. How could he possibly reveal his own condition to him?

"Indeed! My Ke’er has grown up!"

Su Pan’er sighed, closing her eyes wearily to rest.

She initially wanted to inquire about his and Shuang’er’s situation but, seeing Ke’er’s appearance, she finally held back her words and swallowed them down.

Forget it, forget it!

Matters of the heart should be left for them to handle on their own!

Su Ke also noticed Fourth Sister’s exhaustion and reassured Su Pan’er with a few more words before leaving the room.

Upon leaving, Qin Yi saw him out of the room, gave him some instructions, and only then did Su Ke return to Prince Wei’s separate residence with his mind full of questions.

It was Qin Yi who, once Su Ke had left, returned to the room.

Sure enough, Su Pan’er was waiting for him with her eyes open!

"He..."

Qin Yi wanted to ask but hesitated.

Without waiting for him to finish, Su Pan’er nodded.

"Your guess is not wrong! The hidden force I discovered in your heart meridian back then belongs to the same vein as the one currently in Ke’er’s heart meridian. However, there are some differences. The hidden force that remained in your body back then had completely merged with your heart meridian, probably because you were too young when you were injured. As for Ke’er, the force is evidently stronger, indicating that the practitioner hasn’t been practicing for as long. It’s also because of the shorter practice time and stronger force that Ke’er experienced the onset so early. If that person were to continue practicing for another three to five years, they might achieve the same state as you did back then."

After speaking a long paragraph in one breath, Su Pan’er was so weary that she couldn’t keep her eyes open.

This also made Qin Yi’s heart ache, prompting him to grab her hand quickly.

"I understand everything. You don’t need to worry about this matter; leave it to me. I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation. After all, I too must demand justice for myself, right? You, on the other hand, should focus on recuperating and getting better as soon as possible."

Looking at the serious demeanor of the man before her, Su Pan’er silently nodded her head.

"That’s good!"

She believed that Qin Yi would thoroughly investigate the matter.

Qin Shuan’er’s sprained ankle, after the initial bruising, was gradually improving day by day.

However, Su Ke’s cough had not gotten any better, and the entire courtyard was permeated with the scent of medicine, but he insisted on visiting Qin Shuan’er every day.

Naturally, he could always encounter Zhang Zhongding, who, like sticky candy, would cling to Shuang’er each time.

Upon seeing the grave and sallow look on his face, Zhang Zhongding couldn’t help but sneer mockingly.

"It’s really hard on Lord Su, knowing that both Shuang’er and I were injured, yet still visiting every day. Speaking of which, we’ve also gotten to know each other through conflict. But you know, Lord Su, you should really take good care of yourself. Look, my bruises are almost healed, yet it seems like Lord Su’s condition is getting more serious. Do you need me to bring more doctors over to treat you?"

The scent of medicine was always present in Su Ke’s courtyard. As a result, Prince Wei and Princess Consort Wei had brought in several doctors to diagnose Lord Su, who hadn’t found any issues and suggested that Lord Su had a weak constitution. They prescribed some mild prescriptions to benefit his qi and nourish his blood, such mild tonics that seemed inconsequential and ineffective for Su Ke’s consumption.

This resulted in rumors spreading throughout the entire manor.

"Don’t talk nonsense, Ke’er is not that kind of person!"

Before Su Ke could speak up, the always silent Qin Shuan’er refuted sharply.
