1475 Close Relationship

He knew very well how deep he had stabbed himself.

Even though Ji’er took the initiative in that situation, he did not push her away when it happened, and instead, was almost lost in the moment.

He was disgusted at himself and ashamed at the same time.

Chu Qi had wanted to punish himself, which was why he was quite vicious with the stab.

The thought of Ji’er dimmed the look in his eyes.

After that, the physician wrote him a prescription for the wound and after giving a few more instructions, he left.

When Steward Chen returned and saw the general was still awake, he could not help advising, “It’s really late right now. You should rest immediately when you’re so heavily wounded.”

“Alright. You should get some rest too, Uncle Chen,” Chu Qi replied softly.

Steward Chen sighed.

He could not understand how the general would suddenly get so heavily wounded when he was fine just a moment ago.

Steward Chen shook his head and walked out.

The next day.

Steward Chen came to see Chu Qi and found that he had a high fever. Chu Qi was also unconscious and this shocked him. He quickly sent for the physician.

It was the same physician from the night before.

After diagnosing Chu Qi again, the physician’s forehead broke out in cold sweat.

“For some unknown reason, the general’s wound has gotten worse. By the looks of his wound, there’s…there’s nothing I can do…”

Steward Chen’s eyes widened with fear when he heard this. “What do you mean?”

The physician was at a loss. “You…you should find yourselves another physician.” With that, he left quickly with his medical box.

Steward Chen was fearful and he could not believe that the general’s wound had taken a worse turn when he was doing fine last night.

He did not dare delay it any longer as he quickly got someone to bring him the general’s token of authority and he went to get the help of an imperial physician.

The Palace.

It was the first day of the Lunar New Year. Long Yin and his siblings were the first to greet their parents with a happy new year.

Lu Liangwei was happy to see her children get another year older and she gave each of them a red packet. She even gave them a few words of encouragement.

It was a happy family occasion.

Zhao Qian came running in at that moment.

As this was the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Qian did not dare mention Chu Qi’s serious wound and how his condition has taken a worse turn in public. He leaned in close to Long Yang and whispered a few words to him instead.

Long Yang’s expression changed when he heard this. “How did he get seriously wounded when he was doing fine last night?”

Zhao Qian said worriedly, “I have no idea either. It was a servant from the South Conquering General Mansion that had come for an imperial physician.”

Ji’er was talking to her mother at the side and caught the words ‘South Conquering General Mansion’ and ‘imperial physician’. She could not help worrying.

She had no idea how Lil Qi was doing after he left with his wound last night.

Ji’er wanted to leave the Palace early in the morning to check on him, but at the thought of how determined he was, she hesitated and did not go in the end.

When she heard Zhao Qian talk about it, she held her breath.

Was Lil Qi’s wound very serious?

His blood had covered the ground last night…

“Go and check on him.” Long Yang instructed.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Zhao Qian immediately left the Palace after being given the order.

He was very worried about Chu Qi as well.

Lu Liangwei had heard part of the conversation and she asked, “What’s wrong with Chu Qi?”

“I heard that he had gotten himself seriously wounded and the wound had taken a turn for the worse,” Long Yang frowned and said.

Lu Liangwei was surprised. “How did that happen? Wasn’t he drunk last night? How did he get himself seriously wounded without any reason?”

Before Long Yang could reply, the sound of a teacup smashing on the ground was heard.

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw Ji’er’s pale face. She ran out in a rush.

“Ji’er…” Lu Liangwei immediately stood up and watched her run off in shock. However, at the thought of her close relationship with Chu Qi, she knew Ji’er was worried and did not think much of it.

Everyone present, including Long Yang, thought the same, except for Yaoyao.

Ji’er was brought up by Chu Qi, after all. It was only normal that she was worried when Chu Qi was seriously wounded.
