Chapter 170: Jealousy (1)
After Xie Xuanchen had the Jing Erdan, he soon fell asleep. His actions this time shocked many. The five imperial physicians who stayed in the manor hurried over, and even the people from the Imperial Medical Bureau came.
After the imperial physicians’ pulse diagnosis, several of them discussed in a low voice, and retreated back out from the door all together.
In the small room outside the door partition, there were many people standing there at this moment. Seeing the imperial physicians exit, everyone immediately gathered around: "How is it?"
The imperial physician was about to speak, this was when he saw the person behind, he quickly bowed with his hands over his chest: "Concubine."
Mu Mingtang still had the blood-stained clothes on. At this moment, she walked over from the couch bed, no one dared to stand in her way, and everyone made way for her. The maids kept persuading Mu Mingtang to head back and rest, and later, even Jiang Mingwei and the eunuch also came to talk some sense into her, but Mu Mingtang just shook her head without saying a word and insisted on staying at the front line.
Mu Mingtang walked towards the imperial physician, and the person who had just questioned him could only drop his hand and step aside. When Xie Xuanchen’s illness kicked in last time, the room was also filled with people. However, as the concubine, Mu Mingtang was squeezed out, and she didn't even have the right to listen to his diagnosis. Mu Mingtang wasn’t sure if they were the people from back then, but there is no doubt that no one would dare to ignore her anymore.
Mu Mingtang stood still and asked, "How is he?"
"In return to your question, his royal highness has lost too much blood and strength, that’s why he fell into a coma. We have stopped the bleeding, and he’ll be able to wake up after a good rest."
Mu Mingtang was really relieved when she heard that he was only in a coma and breathed a sigh of relief. The tension from that one nerve finally relaxed and she suddenly blacked out, she fell to the side as her body weakened.
The maids quickly helped her up, and hurriedly called out: "Concubine, concubine!"
Mu Mingtang suddenly fainted and this startled everyone, they rushed to her side with a cry. Xie Xuanji was also in the hall at that moment. He watched Mu Mingtang faint and raised his hand reflexively, but immediately after everyone's voice sounded, it seemed to give him a wake up call, Xie Xuanji immediately realized what he was doing.
In front of so many people, how could he have physical contact with his brother’s wife? Xie Xuanji squeezed his fist tight and could only withdraw his hand silently. He looked at the person who had fainted, and suddenly thought, she didn't hesitate when she said that she would be by his side through life and death, and Xie Xuanji knew how rare true love was as he had seen much of the world. So, does she really take Xie Xuanchen as her husband?
Mu Mingtang fainted, and Yulin Hall was in a total mess for quite some time, everyone hurriedly carried her to the bed. As Xie Xuanchen was also in a coma now, the two patients could not be together. Fortunately, Yulin Hall was big enough and there were several bedrooms. The maids brought Mu Mingtang to the bed in the back room, pulled up the curtains and screens, and summoned the imperial physician to check on her pulse.
His sister-in-law had fainted, and it wasn’t convenient for Xie Xuanji to be in there with her, but he had to stay guarded outside. He listened to the commotion that was coming from behind the screen, and the maids lowered their voices as they speaked, he uncontrollably slumped into a trance, deep in thought.
He kept thinking about the scene when he saw Xie Xuanchen just now. Mu Mingtang rushed towards Xie Xuanchen without hesitation. Xie Xuanchen was covered in blood, but there were no dead bodies in the room. The blood belonged to Xie Xuanchen himself.
