Chapter 599: Chapter 599 Coma_1

...

After leaving the Wang Family on horseback, Li Wuyu intended to go home, but the Imperial Capital was simply too far from Qilin County, so she set out to find her master, An Jing.

An Jing was her mentor, and to her, also her family.

All she wanted was to return to her family, who would never harm her, who wouldn’t let servants humiliate her as Wang Youbao had done.

However, she had barely left Sixteen Town when a heavy rain began to fall, drenching her body and face. Already heartbroken, she now lost control and cried.

Even though she cried, she didn’t care and kept riding towards her master’s home.

Heartbroken and crying fiercely, worsened by the heavy rain, Li Wuyu’s mind was no longer clear. She didn’t even know how she managed to reach the doorstep of An Jing’s home.

All she did was dismount instinctively and then fiercely knocked on the courtyard door of An Jing’s home, crying out, "Master, master, master..."

But as soon as the door opened from the inside, she didn’t even see who opened it before losing consciousness.

"Miss Li!" Meng Zhuqing opened the door to find Li Wuyu, soaked like a drowned rat, collapsing, which gave him a huge scare.

Ignoring the propriety between the sexes, he quickly dropped his umbrella, caught Li Wuyu, and then, carrying her horizontally, turned back into the house through the rain.

An Jing, upon seeing Meng Zhuqing carrying an unconscious Li Wuyu inside, was also frightened, and hastily called out, "Doctor Jiang, come quickly, have a look!"

Imperial Physician Jiang was in the main hall and quickly examined Li Wuyu’s condition before saying, "She has a knife wound on her arm, and she has a high fever. We must hurry and change her out of these wet clothes."

Meng Zhuqing and Imperial Physician Jiang could not cook, and Xiao Changyi had to look after four children and An Jing, so the two matrons had still not been dismissed and were still working in the household.

An Jing took out a set of her own clothes, and together with the two matrons, they changed Li Wuyu out of her wet garments.

Meng Lanqing had gone to Nan Shen to seek someone, and the room where Meng Lanqing lived was vacant, which was now just right for Li Wuyu to stay in.

Li Wuyu had ridden through the rain all the way, and with the injury on her arm, not only did she catch a cold, but the injury had also worsened, causing her current unconscious state and high fever.

At this moment, Li Wuyu’s beautiful face was flushed red from the fever, her body frighteningly hot.

An Jing sat heavily by the bed, watching Li Wuyu with a grave face. With such a high fever, she really feared that her disciple’s brain might get damaged. Moreover, if the wound soaked by rain became infected or inflamed...

Doctor Jiang had prepared medicine, which was ready and administered to Li Wuyu after reattending to her wound, but there was still no sign of the fever abating, which made An Jing’s expression even more solemn.

"Doctor Jiang, my disciple... she won’t get into any trouble, will she?"

Doctor Jiang’s expression was also grim. Upon hearing An Jing’s question, he sighed and said, "The fever is too high, and if it doesn’t go down, we can only leave it to fate."

The day Li Wuyu was injured by Wang Youtao, Wang Youbao had sent someone to inform An Jing and Xiao Changyi about the incident.

However, since Li Wuyu’s life was not in danger, and Xiao Changyi wouldn’t allow An Jing to leave the house before she had fully recovered from childbirth, An Jing had thus been unable to visit Li Wuyu at the Wang Family.

But An Jing had sent Meng Zhuqing to the County Government, instructing the County Magistrate of Qilin County to imprison Wang Youtao for life for the crime of injuring the daughter of the Prime Minister.
