Chapter 39.2
Zhao Chong’s private soldiers were not raised in vain. After they discovered something was wrong, the first thing they thought of was to destroy the evidence by any means.
First they set fire to the boat and then they chased them all the way.
Because Fuman’s equestrian skills were very poor, she fell between the cliffs on the way and it took a long time to save her. Zhao Chong’s soldiers also caught up with her and thanks to the fact that Lu Yan brought some weapons with him, she was able to escape death.
Lu Yan was only seriously injured but Fu Ba and two other hidden agents were killed on the spot.
However, Shen Zhen had no way of knowing the process of Lu Yan’s injury.
Through Fuman’s words, Shen Zhen only came to one conclusion in her mind – he was injured because he was trying to save her.
Her nails dug into the palm of her hand, then suddenly she let go.
After Fuman retreated, Bai Daonian observed Lu Yan’s injuries. He had just left in a hurry and could not treat him on the spot, so he could only sprinkle a handful of blood coagulation powder on him.
Although the bleeding from the wound has stopped now, the flesh and blood are still stuck together with the damaged fabric, which is quite troublesome. He raised his head and said to Shen Zhen, “Can you hold a lamp for me?”
This was a wedding room. The room was filled with bright red candles. Shen Zhen quickly lit a few more. Finally, she came over carrying a lantern.
The room instantly became as bright as day.
The wounds on his body became more and more clear. Bai Daonian took out a knife, cut all his clothes and then used a needle to pick out the fabric that had seeped into the wound…
Shen Zhen’s heart twitched with his movements and her legs became weak.
She took a long breath and said slowly: “Doctor, is his life in danger?”
Bai Daonian raised his head and looked at her, “The cut was quite deep, but fortunately avoided the vitals, if it had been an inch further, even the immortals would not have been able to save him. For the next two nights someone has to stay by his side and check if he get a fever every half an hour.”
Shen Zhen nodded, “I will guard him tonight.”
After cleaning the wound, he began to suture. When the needle and thread passed through the flesh, Shen Zhen couldn’t bear it anymore and closed her eyes.
Bai Daonian cut the thread in his hand.
After two hours of tossing, Shen Zhen’s arm holding up the lamp had become stiff not to mention how tired Doctor Bai must be.
Shen Zhen whispered: “Thank you, Doctor Bai.”
Bai Daonian bowed deeply to Shen Zhen and then said: “Madam1(Here he used the word furen 夫人, used for the Main wife), please don’t mention the word ‘thank you’. His Excellency saved my life, so this is something I should do.”
Listening to him say “Madam“, Shen Zhen couldn’t help but be taken aback.
But on second thought, she didn’t need to explain these things, so she said calmly, “Even so, you should rest early, I guess… you will be busy tomorrow.”
“Yes, here are some antipyretic medicines. Give them as soon as possible after he wakes up.” After that, Bai Daonian withdrew.
Tangyue came in with a basin of hot water and some clean handkerchiefs. Shen Zhen took it, handed the medicine to her and said, “I’ll do it. You can go and boil the medicine.”
After Tangyue left, only Shen Zhen and Lu Yan were left in the room.
She slowly sat next to him.
Lowered her head and looked at his face.
Since meeting him, she has seen his arrogant and lonely back, his aggressive posture and his aloof expression but she had never seen him in such a sorry state.
After a while, Shen Zhen stretched out her hand and stroked his ear.
The moment she touched him, Lu Yan frowned and called her name in a low voice.
Shen Zhen.
His tone was unkind, the tone he had when he was looking for faults.
But for some reason, the tears in Shen Zhen’s eyes fell down in big drops. Even she herself couldn’t explain why.
But she didn’t expect that when she cried, the person who was still lying peacefully on the bed would be awakened by the pain in his chest.
As soon as Lu Yan opened his eyes, he saw the room full of red candles and a bride in her wedding dress. On the bride’s face were traces of tears that made him feel distressed.
When Shen Zhen saw that he was awake, she quickly called out to him.
As if it wasn’t enough, she added in a daze, “My Lord, are you awake?”
If he is not awake, how can he open his eyes?2(LOL)
The corners of Lu Yan’s thin lips parted slightly, revealing an almost imperceptible smile. He said hoarsely, “Yes, I’m awake.” If you keep crying, let alone waking up, even my life will be in danger. …
Shen Zhen was a little embarrassed, afraid that he would move around, so she quickly said: “The wound on the back has just been sutured, please don’t move around.”
Lu Yan frowned, feeling his throat dry and said, “Bring me some water.”
At this time, Tangyue came in with the medicine. Shen Zhen took it, walked to the couch, squatted down, looked at him and said softly: “Let’s drink the medicine first. After drinking the medicine, I will get you some water.”
He lay on the couch unable to move and could only wait for Shen Zhen to feed him.
She took a small spoonful, blew on it, handed it to his mouth, held it against his teeth, and slowly lifted it up.
Don’t know whether it was because the spoon was not working well or because the man was not cooperating, but all the concoction in Shen Zhen’s spoon spilled out.
Four eyes looked at each other.
The man’s thin lips were slightly pursed and his eyes were dark and unclear, as if to say: Why can’t you do anything right.
Shen Zhen’s hand holding the spoon paused and she had to think of another way.
