Chapter 953: Chapter 214: Can’t Have More Children

Mo Heng had Pei Qin ambush from the safest spot inside while he took the main position outside. Pei Qin assigned the inner ambush point to her personal soldier Zhou Jian and took Lu Hai and Liu Feng to another main point to support Mo Heng.

However, while she was setting up an ambush for others, someone else had ambushed her.

Lu Hai’s breath caught, and he quickly flew over to support her.

Liu Feng’s eyes darkened as he turned to locate the direction the arrow had come from and immediately charged towards it.

Pei Qin looked down at the arrow in her left chest, opened her mouth, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"General!? General!?" Li Shun and a few personal soldiers all turned pale and immediately rushed over.

Pei Qin touched the arrow embedded deep in her flesh and winced in pain, drawing a sharp breath, "So, this is what being shot feels like."

Lu Hai was pale as he quickly stood up holding her, "I will take you to a doctor immediately! To the Imperial Physician!"

Li Shun and others also had red eyes, "Those damn Waci beasts, attacking us by stealth! Damn them all!"

Lu Hai stopped them, asking them to first escort Pei Qin back to see the Imperial Physician, "The arrow is poisoned!"

Hearing that the arrow was poisoned, Li Shun and the others clenched their teeth even harder in hatred, wishing they could devour the flesh and drink the blood of the Waci People, their rage boiling as they protected Pei Qin in her retreat.

As they retreated, the Chu Army, upon hearing that the Waci People had successfully ambushed Pei Qin, grew fiercely incensed and fought with disregard for their lives. They could only launch a counterattack because General Pei had invented the Thunder Cannon and the mortar and devised brilliant strategies to reclaim lost territory. The damn minions of Waci, unable to defeat them, resorted to such despicable and vile means as poisoning.

Emperor Chu Wen was waiting outside the city, expecting good news but was instead met with the report of Pei Qin being hit by a poisoned arrow. Seeing Lu Hai bringing Pei Qin back, her face already ghostly pale and lips dark and purple, he quickly approached, shocked and trembling, "Give her to me!" and reached out to take Pei Qin.

Lu Hai did not let go, having already picked up Pei Qin and hurried towards the tent, "Imperial Physician! Imperial Physician!"

Shi Rui had already sent his apprentice to summon all the accompanying Imperial Physicians.

Two Imperial Physicians and two military doctors hurriedly arrived, and before they could even pay their respects, Emperor Chu Wen urgently shouted for them to skip the formalities, "Examine her quickly, detoxify her!"

The four hurried forward to take Pei Qin’s pulse.

A doctor from behind, anxious in his heart due to her status that could no longer be concealed, wondered anxiously why his superior had still not returned.

An Imperial Physician at the front changed his expression to one of surprise as he looked at Emperor Chu Wen.

After having everyone else leave, Emperor Chu Wen asked again, "How is she? What poison did she suffer from? Can it be detoxified?"

The Imperial Physician spoke softly, "Pei... This poison is a severe poison from Waci. If we can find a Seven-pulse Lotus, we can detoxify her. However... it’s likely that she can no longer conceive in the future."

"Where can we find Seven-pulse Lotus? Detoxify her immediately!" Emperor Chu Wen begged, his face darkening and eyes blazing with killing intent.

Seeing him like this, the Imperial Physician, already aware that Pei Qin was indeed a woman, focused on detoxifying Pei Qin, "Seven-pulse Lotus is extremely rare, only available in the hinterland of the Waci and Rong Clans. General Pei, despite avoiding the vital points, was hit not far from the vital arteries. We will do our utmost to preserve the general’s life for seven days. Within these seven days, we must find the Seven-pulse Lotus and prepare the medicine, only then can we save General Pei."

Hearing this, Emperor Chu Wen’s heart sank to the bottom and he immediately decreed, "At all costs, the Seven-pulse Lotus must be found!"

The Palace was on fire, the fierce blaze quickly engulfed the Jinluan Hall, spreading rapidly, the flames connecting in a blanket.

Wachi Third Prince Ka Erle sat in the middle of the fire on the Dragon Throne, self-immolating in the palace of Great Chu.

Dou He led his troops to eliminate the remaining Waci forces, while Hu Qi immediately led his men to extinguish the fire.

Mo Heng killed his way through retreating Waci troops, no longer having the heart to fight, and hastily returned to the main camp.

Lu Hai, seeing him come back, told him about Pei Qin’s condition, "... We must obtain the Seven-pulse Lotus to save her."

Mo Heng, his body emanating an intense chill, stormed into the tent and immediately saw her pale face and black purple lips on the couch, unconscious.

A rush of blood seemingly surged backward through his veins, racing to his head as uncontrollable fury broke through his restraints, the dark and destructive energy in his heart soaring to the skies.

"Seven days! She has seven days before the poison triggers! Finding the Seven-pulse Lotus can save her!" Feng Wei hurriedly said, seeing him like this.

Seven days... Mo Heng, his limbs ice cold, moved forward and knelt by the couch, grabbing her hand. But her nails had also turned black, "Qinqin..."
