Chapter 997: Chapter 227: Unwilling to Die_2

Pei Qin listened to their noisy quarrels, her gaze cold and icy as frost.

By the time Fang Liuming and Fang Fu hurried back, Pei Yuan and Pei Wendong, along with Xie Yi, had come over; after half a day of treatment, Lady Yu had only stopped bleeding but remained unconscious.

"Don’t worry! Mother won’t have anything happen to her! Nothing will happen!" Fang Liuming clasped Pei Qian’s icy hand tightly, not knowing whether he was comforting her or himself.

Lu Hai, who rushed to Capital Jingcheng on horseback, encountered Prince Yongle, Xiao Guangzhao, outside the palace gates.

"Guard Lu? Is Madam Yuanyang here on emergency business in the capital?" Prince Yongle initiated the conversation.

Lu Hai gave him a deep look, thinking of Lady Yu’s condition, "Madam asked for an external injuries Imperial Physician."

Prince Yongle took Pei Qin’s calling card. Lady Yuanyang’s card had never been used in Capital Jingcheng before; he ordered the steward nearby, "Ask Imperial Doctor Zhang to go and diagnose Madam Yuanyang."

Imperial Doctor Zhang was the Imperial Physician who attended to the Emperor. Lu Hai did not hold back, reported to the Imperial Hospital, took Imperial Doctor Zhang, and hurried back.

By the time Lu Hai brought the doctor back to Daxing, the sky was completely dark.

Pei Qin was treated for poison by Imperial Doctor Zhang; seeing him, she immediately had him treat Lady Yu.

It wasn’t she who was injured and in trouble, just her aunt by marriage. Imperial Doctor Zhang felt slightly displeased internally—the Emperor couldn’t do without him now. However, he still quickly took Lady Yu’s pulse and diagnosed her.

Seeing that the Imperial Physician had arrived, Yang Yulan breathed a sigh of relief but also felt somewhat unwilling. It would be best if this cheap woman, Lady Yu, just died! Only if Lady Yu died would she have a chance to become the First Madam! As for Fang Liuming observing three years of mourning, with Pei Qin and Mo Heng around, they certainly wouldn’t let him go three years without an official position, granting an exception to mourn.

Fang Li always screamed about divorcing Lady Yu, and in a fit of rage, he wanted to kill her. This time he truly got angry and impulsively struck her, never expecting that Lady Yu might really die; he was more scared than anyone. He only brandished the knife to scare Lady Yu, not actually wanting to kill her. The slash he made was because she had moved forward while cursing angrily herself. If Lady Yu really died... Wouldn’t he be jailed, headed for execution!? He secretly prayed that Lady Yu wouldn’t die at this moment! She couldn’t die! If she died, he was finished too!

Heaven simply did not hear his prayers, and Imperial Doctor Zhang could only use medicine to bring Lady Yu back to consciousness, "You can go in and talk." Lady Yu’s injuries were too severe, and she had lost too much blood; there was nothing he could do.

Fang Liuming stiffened all over, his face pale as he entered the room.

Seeing Pei Qin’s expressionless face, yet eyes cold and terrifying, Imperial Doctor Zhang came forward stiffly with a salute, "Madam! This lady has lost too much blood..."

"Thank you for your trouble, Imperial Doctor Zhang. You have done your best," Pei Qin gestured dismissively.

Imperial Doctor Zhang exhaled in relief and stepped back. The Emperor held special favor for this General Pei, even willing to give up Liaodong just to cure her poisoning.

Pei Qin had Liu Feng allow Fang Liuyang to come in as well, to listen to Lady Yu speak.

The room was filled with people.

Lady Yu knew she wasn’t going to make it, yet she felt so unwilling. She hadn’t yet seen her grandson born, and Er Lang had yet to take a wife. She had been holding on just to see how the children were doing; she still wanted to take care of her grandson and daughter-in-law! Since Rongniang had died, Qianqian only had her as a mother-in-law!

"Don’t cry... Er Lang, don’t cry..." Lady Yu’s head throbbed with a dull pain, and she lost consciousness. She had been slashed on the shoulder and neck area and couldn’t even lift her hand, managing only to hold Fang Liuyang’s hand limply.

Fang Liuyang’s eyes turned bloodshot as he fiercely wiped away his tears.

Lady Yu gave intermittent instructions to Fang Liuming to treat Pei Qian well and to lead a good life together; she told Fang Liuyang to be obedient and make something of himself.

When it came to Fang Fang, she cried vaguely and stepped forward, "Mother!"

Looking at her now, Lady Yu suddenly felt a surge of powerlessness, "You... should lose some weight... Once mother is gone... there won’t be anyone..."

Pei Qian and Fang Fang hadn’t got along and still disliked each other; she was fed up with Fang Fang and didn’t have the kindness to help someone who was lazy, gluttonous, and dumber than a pig.

Lady Yu didn’t want to die, for once she was gone, she might find release, but what about her three children... After her death, Dalang would still have to observe mourning, and Qianqian was still pregnant...

"Qinqin... Qinqin..."

Pei Qin furrowed her brows and stepped forward, "I will take care of them."

Lady Yu’s heart was eased, and looking at Pei Qin’s pale face, she felt unbearably guilty. She was dying and wouldn’t be able to take care of Dalang and the others, yet she had burdened Qinqin with the responsibility, "You all must... must be good... to... your elder sister..."

Grandma Fang saw she was near death and cried breathlessly, "It’s mother who has wronged you!"

Lady Yu looked at her and Old Scholar Fang; with such in-laws, she had never suffered any grievances. It was just Fang Li and Yang Yulan, "...even in death... I will not let go... won’t forgive... you... two..."
