Chapter 199.2 - Using her body to test the medicine
His eyes widened in shock, his body swayed as he suddenly saw the patch of blood on her chest quickly expand.
Suddenly, he shouted towards the people outside, “Hurry and get an imperial doctor here! Quickly, get one here now! Qingwu, Qingwu ….”
The imperial doctors quickly came and because they knew that the patient was the Countess of Rende, they also brought a female doctor.
But when they saw her injuries, even the imperial doctor was shocked.
When they saw her yesterday, Miss Lou was fine, so … how did she get injured so seriously?
When the imperial doctor and the female doctor left the room, Xiahou Qing quickly walked up to them, “Imperial doctor Li, what happened with Miss Lou?”
“This … third prince, actually, this old subject doesn’t know what to say. There is something wrong, and nothing wrong with Miss Lou.”
“En?” Xiahou Qing’s brows furrowed, “What does imperial doctor Li mean?”
“It’s like this. Miss Lou has suffered grave injuries, especially because it’s in the chest area. But because she’s already received proper treatment, there’s no real danger. The only strange thing is that Miss Lou is injured in the exact same area as you ,the third prince. Furthermore, Miss Lou’s body also has remnants of poison that’s exactly the same as the third prince’s. But she’s already received an antidote, so there’s no real harm to her.”
“This … third rince, actually, this old subject doesn’t know what to say. There is something wrong, and nothing wrong with Miss Lou.”
“En?” Xiahou Qing’s brows furrowed, “What does imperial doctor Li mean?”
“It’s like this. Miss Lou has suffered grave injuries, especially because it’s in the chest area. But because she’s already received proper treatment, there’s no real danger. The only strange thing is that Miss Lou is injured in the exact same area as you ,the third prince. Furthermore, Miss Lou’s body also has remnants of poison that’s exactly the same as the third prince’s. But she’s already received an antidote, so there’s no real harm to her.”
When Xiahou Qing heard the imperial doctor Li’s words, he froze, his whole body stiffening. “Imperial doctor Li, you … what do you mean?"
“This, I’m not too sure about. Miss Lou seems to have suffered the same injuries as the third prince but she seems to have already been healed. If we can hear from Miss Lou who has healed her, I believe that the third prince can quickly make a complete recovery. Miss Lou is already fine, but her body is very weak. She’s just suffered great anxiety, and adding onto how weak her injury has made her, she spat out blood. As long as she rests well for a while, she should be fine. This old subject still has something to do in the palace so I’ll first head back.” After bidding farewell to the third prince, the imperial doctor Li and the female doctor left.
Xiahou Qing was left dazed, standing in the same spot as he didn’t speak for a long time.
In his mind, Lou Qingwu’s words suddenly repeated, “Third prince, I definitely will heal you …”
These words were like a nightmare, haunting him.
They gripped his heart, making him suddenly stagger backwards as his body fell against the doorframe behind him too.
But he still didn’t move, looking in the direction of Lou Qingwu’s room as his mind completely blanked.
At the same time, his heart felt numb, as if something was changing.
Suddenly, he gripped his head, incredibly frustrated at himself.
What exactly had he done?
He actually thought she had strangely admitted to lying to him?
But she was actually just admitting to using her body to test a medicine for him, and she was still thinking of him at that time?
And what was he doing?
Just because of Ye Ji’s words, he was actually suspicious of her?
Instead, she was just hiding that for the sake of saving him, she had personally cut open a hole in her heart, poisoning herself with the same poison he had, just so that she could have a chance to heal him.
Xiahou Qing suddenly felt warmth in his heart, making his whole body feel warmed.
He pushed open the door to enter as he walked towards Lou Qingwu’s bedside.
He saw her pale face and couldn’t help reach towards her face …
But before he could even touch her, the girl who was originally in a deep sleep, suddenly moved her long eyelashes, her eyes opening.
Lou Qingwu’s eyes were still a bit blurry, a bit dazed when she woke up before when seeing Xiahou Qing’s face, she suddenly froze.
Her watery eyes flashed heartbreak before her face slowly turned away from his.
Xiahou Qing’s heart suddenly felt tight as he half knelt at her bedside, gripping her hand, “Qingwu …”
Lou Qingwu didn’t say anything, making Xiahou Qing grip her hand even tighter.
“Qingwu, I was wrong. I was actually suspicious of you, I just … I just … I just didn’t know that you’d do so much for me, I’m sorry …” She was willing to even give up her life to save him.
So how could he be so heartless to her? And how could he even think of harming her?
