Chapter 51 Brother Xuan, Will I Die?
Chapter 51 Brother Xuan, Will I Die?
The dance overtime competition ended, which was a good ending for Qiu Ziyue, but it was full of sorrow for Qi Yuxuan and Qi Yushuang.
The night was as dark as ink, and the spring breeze was slightly cool.
Qi Yuxuan carried the injured Qi Yushuang and hurriedly walked back.
Although Qi Yuxuan's steps were steady, his heart was filled with worry.
He knew that Qi Yushuang was poisoned with a very potent poison, and if she did not receive timely treatment, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Under the moonlight, Qi Yushuang's face was as pale as paper, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
She clenched her teeth, trying to endure the excruciating pain, but occasionally she couldn't help but let out a low groan.
"Yushuang, hang in there a little longer, we'll be there soon."
Qi Yuxuan comforted her in a low voice, his voice trembling slightly.
Finally, they returned to Qi Yuxuan's residence.
Qi Yuxuan carefully placed Qi Yushuang on the bed and immediately began preparing the necessary medicinal materials for the detoxification, as instructed by the physician.
While he was busy, Qi Yushuang suddenly curled up in pain, her body trembling violently.
Her face grew even paler, and her lips turned cyanotic, clearly indicating that the poison had relapsed.
"Ah..." Qi Yushuang let out a shrill scream, sweat pouring down her forehead like rain.
Qi Yuxuan turned around upon hearing the sound, and upon seeing this scene, his heart ached as if it were being torn apart.
He hurriedly put down the medicinal herbs in his hand, rushed to the bedside, and held Qi Yushuang's hand tightly.
"Yushuang, how are you?"
Qi Yuxuan called out anxiously, his eyes filled with worry and heartache.
Qi Yushuang barely opened her eyes, her gaze filled with pain.
She gripped Qi Yuxuan's hand tightly, as if searching for a sliver of support.
"Brother Xuan...I feel so bad..."
Qi Yushuang's voice was weak and trembling, each word sounding as if she had used up all her strength.
Qi Yuxuan's heart ached so much it felt like it was about to break.
He gently stroked Qi Yushuang's hair, trying to comfort her.
"Don't be afraid, I will save you, I will definitely save you!"
Qi Yuxuan said firmly, but there was still a hint of helplessness in his voice.
He quickly returned to the medicine stove and sped up the process of boiling the medicinal herbs.
The firelight illuminated his face, making him appear exceptionally resolute.
As time went by, the medicinal soup was finally ready.
Qi Yuxuan carefully fed the medicine to Qi Yushuang, holding the bowl.
The medicine was bitter and hard to swallow, but Qi Yushuang did not hesitate at all and forced herself to drink all the medicine.
After taking the medicine, Qi Yushuang's pain seemed to be relieved. Her breathing gradually became steady, and her complexion regained some color.
Qi Yuxuan's tense nerves relaxed a little, but he knew that this was only a temporary relief, and that true detoxification would require more time and effort.
Qi Yuxuan sat on the edge of the bed, holding Qi Yushuang's hand, quietly keeping her company.
As night deepened, moonlight streamed into the room through the window, adding a touch of tranquility to the small house.
"Yushuang, you must be strong. We will get through this together."
Qi Yuxuan said softly, his eyes filled with determination and warmth.
Qi Yushuang nodded slightly, a weak smile appearing on her lips.
She knew that with Qi Yuxuan by her side, she was not alone.
That night, Qi Yuxuan stayed by Qi Yushuang's side without leaving her for a moment until dawn.
His worries had not completely dissipated.
After a night of effort, Qi Yushuang's condition finally improved.
The first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the window, bringing a touch of warmth to this simple little house.
Qi Yuxuan sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Qi Yushuang's peaceful sleeping face, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
However, he was not completely at ease.
He knew that only by finding the person who poisoned him could the problem be completely solved.
Previously, he had already sent his two bodyguards, Yun Feiyang and Liu Qingluo, to investigate the truth.
The clues surfaced at a nearby teahouse, a place often used by people in the martial arts world to exchange information.
The two guards, dressed in plain clothes, found a quiet corner to sit down and began asking the regulars in the teahouse for information.
Soon after, a street thug named Ah San, who was also a spy for their secret unit, came over.
Ah San whispered to them, "You need to find the person who poisoned us. I heard it was someone named Liu Xu, but she has already been detained by the officials."
The four guards stared sharply at Ah San.
Ah San swallowed hard and lowered his voice, saying, "Actually... someone saw Qiu Ziyue approach Miss Qi before she was poisoned."
Upon hearing this, the two guards' hearts sank.
"Are you sure?" Yun Feiyang's voice trembled slightly.
Ah San nodded and said, "It's absolutely true, several people saw it."
The two guards gave some silver to Ah San, and then went to report back to Qi Yuxuan.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuxuan abandoned his usual humble and polite gentlemanly demeanor, his face instantly turning ashen with anger, his heart burning with fury.
He suddenly stood up, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force.
"Qiu Ziyue... It's you again! You're such a female demon and bandit. With her around, nothing good ever comes of it. If you want my people, just say so. Why did you hurt Yu Shuang?"
Qi Yuxuan said through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing with anger.
Just then, Qi Yushuang's maid came over anxiously and shouted, "Something terrible has happened! Miss's poison has flared up again!"
Qi Yuxuan hurriedly ran out to check on Yu Shuang. "Quickly, invite the best doctor in the city," Qi Yuxuan ordered the two guards.
The physician rushed over. He was an elderly man over sixty years old, with white hair and beard, but his eyes revealed wisdom and determination.
After carefully examining Yu Shuang's condition, he frowned and looked grave.
"The poison this young lady has is very rare, and I need some time to research the antidote," the doctor said in a deep voice, his tone tinged with helplessness.
Qi Yuxuan paced anxiously back and forth in the clinic, glancing at Yu Shuang lying on the bed from time to time.
She remained pale and breathing weakly, as if she might leave this world at any moment.
"Old doctor, please save her!" Qi Yuxuan pleaded, his voice filled with anxiety and helplessness.
The old doctor nodded and continued his research.
Time passed by, and each moment seemed exceptionally long.
Several hours later, the old doctor finally raised his head, a look of exhaustion on his face.
He sighed and said slowly, "Young Master Qi, this poison is extremely rare. I have searched through all the medical books, but I have not been able to find a corresponding antidote."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mohan's heart sank as if struck by a heavy hammer.
His eyes glazed over, and he froze on the spot. "Then... what do we do?"
Qi Yuxuan's voice trembled, and he could barely control his emotions.
The physician shook his head, a hint of sympathy flashing in his eyes: "If we can't find an antidote, this young lady probably won't last more than thirty days. You should prepare yourselves."
Qi Yuxuan suddenly felt dizzy, and everything before his eyes became blurry. He staggered a few steps and almost fell.
He couldn't believe he had lost Yu Shuang. "No! I can't let her leave like this!"
Qi Yuxuan said through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing with determination.
He walked to the bedside and held Yu Shuang's hand tightly; her hand was cold and weak.
Qi Yuxuan felt as if his heart was being torn apart, and tears welled up involuntarily.
"Brother Xuan, will I die?" Qi Yushuang asked.
"Yushuang, you must hold on! I will definitely find the antidote!"
Qi Yuxuan said in a low voice, his voice filled with determination and pain.
Qi Yuxuan turned to the old doctor, his eyes full of pleading: "Old doctor, do you have any clues? Even if it's just a tiny bit of hope, I'll give it a try!"
The physician pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "As far as I know, this poison comes from the Western Regions. It is said that Lei Xinzhen of the Lei Guang Sect is quite knowledgeable in medicine and detoxification. Perhaps you could go to him and see if you can find the antidote."
Qi Yuxuan's eyes lit up immediately, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope.
He immediately stood up, ready to leave. "Okay, I'll go find Lei Xinzhen right now!" Qi Yuxuan said firmly.
