Chapter 2194 Onset
"Shut up!" Liu Zian's face instantly darkened, and his eyes turned sharp. "Young Master Huo, stop talking nonsense! I'm not sick!"
It's just that I didn't do well on the last exam and I'm in a bad mood, it's not that I'm mentally ill! If you're here to make fun of me, then please leave!
Seeing that he was angry, Huo Changxu felt somewhat helpless. He knew that Liu Zian was emotional at the moment and would be difficult to reason with.
Just as he was about to offer further advice, his gaze inadvertently swept over a large rock behind Liu Zian. He instinctively went around behind the rock and was surprised to find an empty wine bottle on the ground, with a faint smell of alcohol still lingering on it.
Huo Changxu's expression changed instantly. He picked up the wine bottle, turned to Liu Zian, and asked in a tone that was both urgent and serious: "You've been drinking?"
Liu Zian snorted coldly, turned his face away, and said in a cold tone: "So what if I drank it? This is my own business and has nothing to do with you, Young Master Huo."
Even if someone is to be punished, it will be the academy's teachers who will do it; it's not your place to interfere.
"This isn't about punishment!" Huo Changxu's voice rose a few decibels. "I'm doing this for your own good!"
Did you know that some students in the academy have suddenly fallen into a coma after consuming Yishengtang's medicinal cuisine and drinking alcohol?
"Your condition is very dangerous. You must come with me to the Prince's Palace for treatment!"
"That's alarmist!" Liu Zian turned around, his eyes filled with disdain. "Young Master Huo, are you too idle?"
Did you come here specifically to curse me?
I am in very good health. I drink Yishengtang's medicinal diet every day to regulate my body. I will only get healthier and healthier. Where would I get a serious illness?
Don't waste your breath here.
Seeing that Liu Zian was unyielding, Huo Changxu lost his patience. He knew he couldn't delay any longer, or it would really be too late.
He stepped forward and reached out to grab Liu Zi'an's arm: "Come with me! Stop being so stubborn!"
"Let go of me!" Liu Zian abruptly shook off his hand and struggled to back away. "Huo Changxu, don't go too far! I'll say it again, I'm not going!"
As the two were locked in a stalemate, they suddenly heard footsteps behind them. Huo Changxu turned around and saw Wu Liang leading two guards from the Prince's Mansion walking quickly towards them.
Wu Liang walked to Huo Changxu's side, cupped his hands, and said, "Second Young Master, the Princess Consort sent me to assist you. I wonder if things went smoothly?"
Huo Changxu pointed at Liu Zian, his tone tinged with helplessness: "It's him, Liu Zian. I tried to persuade him nicely, but he refused to come with me, so I had to forcibly take him back."
"Forcibly taken away?" Liu Zi'an's face flushed with anger as he pointed at Huo Changxu and shouted, "Huo Changxu, how dare you! I'm telling you, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly rolled back, his face instantly turned bluish-purple, his body swayed, and he fell straight to the ground.
"Oh no!" Huo Changxu exclaimed and rushed forward to support him. He saw that Liu Zian had lost consciousness, his breathing had become weak, and his lips had turned dark, just like the student who had fainted before.
"Quickly! Put him in the carriage!" Huo Changxu shouted urgently. "Wu Liang, hurry up and go back to the Prince's Mansion!"
Wu Liang and the guards rushed forward and carefully lifted Liu Zian up, running towards the carriage outside the academy.
Huo Changxu followed closely behind, extremely anxious, constantly urging the driver to hurry up.
The carriage was lined with soft brocade cushions, and Huo Changxu gently placed Liu Zian on them, allowing him to lie down comfortably.
Liu Zian's condition was becoming increasingly critical; his breathing was becoming more and more rapid, and his face was turning increasingly bluish-purple.
Huo Changxu remembered that the carriage carried the spring water given by the abbot, which was said to have the effect of refreshing the mind and body. He quickly took the water bottle, carefully pried open Liu Zian's mouth, and slowly drank a few mouthfuls.
Spring water flowed down Liu Zian's throat, and his breathing seemed to become slightly more stable, but he still showed no signs of waking up.
Huo Changxu sat to the side, staring intently at his face, his heart pounding with anxiety, constantly praying that they could reach the Prince's Mansion quickly so that his sister-in-law could receive treatment as soon as possible.
The carriage sped along, its wheels making a "clattering" sound as they rolled over the cobblestones. Huo Changxu's heart tightened with each turn of the wheels.
He would occasionally feed Liu Zian a sip of spring water, gently wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, his eyes filled with worry.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally stopped in front of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
Huo Changxu immediately lifted the carriage curtain and said urgently to the servants waiting at the door, "Quickly! Go and inform the Princess that Liu Zian has been brought here and the situation is critical!"
The servants dared not delay and rushed in to report.
Huo Changxu, Wu Liang, and the others carefully lifted Liu Zian out of the carriage and quickly walked towards a side courtyard inside the Prince's Mansion.
Just as they reached the entrance of the side courtyard, they saw Yan Ruyu rushing over with Doctor Cao and several maids.
Yan Ruyu walked to Liu Zian's side, carefully examined his complexion and pulse, and then looked at his eyelids. Her expression instantly turned serious.
“Exactly the same case as before, severe lung damage, inflammation of multiple organs, it’s an emergency,” Yan Ruyu said in a deep voice. “Quickly, carry him inside. Dr. Cao, prepare the medicine immediately according to the previous prescription!”
"Yes!" Doctor Cao quickly responded and turned to prepare the medicine.
The maids also sprang into action, carrying Liu Zian into the room and settling him on the soft couch that had been laid out.
Yan Ruyu walked to the bedside, took out silver needles, and quickly and accurately inserted them into several acupoints on Liu Zian's body.
She then dismissed the maids, took out the IV drip equipment from her spatial storage, prepared the anti-inflammatory and detoxifying medicine, located Liu Zian's vein, gently inserted the needle, and adjusted the drip rate.
The clear medicine slowly flowed into Liu Zian's body through the IV tube.
Yan Ruyu looked at Liu Zian's bluish-purple face and breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned to Huo Changxu and said, "Luckily you brought him back in time. If you had come any later, it might have been too late."
Huo Changxu breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a hint of relief, "Luckily we made it in time. Sister-in-law, how is he now? Can he be saved?"
“It should be possible,” Yan Ruyu nodded. “The symptoms are the same as those of the previous patients, so the treatment plan is feasible. As long as we get through this hurdle, we will gradually recover with proper care.”
"I wonder if I'll be able to get more information about Yishengtang's medicinal cuisine when he wakes up."
Huo Changxu gave a soft snort.
Seeing that his expression was off, Yan Ruyu asked, "What's wrong?"
Huo Changxu lowered his eyes, refusing to look at Liu Zian on the bed.
He said in a low voice, "I don't know what's going on. I don't even know Liu Zi'an, but he seems to be very hostile towards me."
“I tried to persuade him to come back with me, but he responded with harsh words, as if I had bullied him because of your and my elder brother’s influence.”
Yan Ruyu understood immediately; she could guess what had happened without needing to ask further.
