The Story Of Dusk 215 She Was Safe, But...

"We were being ambushed when I returned from the village." Qi Xunyi tried to explain, but his attention was fully on Qianru. "What can I do to help?" Though he wanted to do something, but there was nothing that he could do to help in this kind of situation, he wasn't a doctor neither he knew how to use acupuncture needles.

Ignoring Qi Xunyi's question, Ye Xiu asked Jinse instead. "How is the bleeding!?"

Jinse raised a bit Qianru's dress as Qi Xunyi looked away awkwardly. "The bleeding is slowing down, but still not stops yet." She bit her lower lips nervously.

"This will not do." Ye Xiu shook his head, he had tried everything in his power to stop the bleeding, but if it didn't work, he didn't know what else he should do.

"How is it?" Qi Xunyi asked while looking at Ye Xiu's unsightly expression, he felt something bad must be happening now.

"In this point we will lost her." Ye Xiu said in grievance.

Furrow on Qi Xunyi's brows deepened. "What we should do now?" He asked in his husky voice as it laced with many indescribable emotions. "She will be death if we let her like this without doing anything."

Exactly.

Qianru wouldn't be able to survive if kept bleeding.

"I know." Ye Xiu put the last acupuncture needle on Qianru's right waist and wiped away his sweat with his sleeve.

They were no longer in danger and under threat of those border's soldiers because his men were already there, but Qianru's predicament still had not pa.s.sed yet.

"The blood has stopped." Jinse said in relief.

Hearing that, Qi Xunyi's eyes a bit softened as he let out a heavy breath. "That's good…" He muttered to himself.

However, Ye Xiu shook his head as his expression remained the same. "It will only save her temporary." He said in matter of fact tone. "We need to bring her to the Greenhill Mountain right away and find the Dragon blood plants."

That was their only chance to save Qianru or else no one of them would be able to face Xiao Jun's wrath later, Ye Xiu knew his disciple very well.

Xiao Jun wasn't the type that would easily get angry, but once he did that, the consequence would be dire.

At that time someone opened the carriage curtain and Lin Xinyang's face appeared. "Your men said we have to go now." She informed all the people inside as her eyes landed on Qianru and Ye Xiu, who was pulling off needles from her body. Lin Xinyang's expression changed. "What happen to her? Is she alright?"

Before there was someone answered Lin Xinyang's question, out of the blue, Qi Xunyi gathered Qianru's limply body in his embrace and carried her out of the carriage. "We need to go now." He said coldly.

No one could stop him when Qi Xunyi brought Qianru and mounted his horse away. He went ahead, leaving his men behind.

As Lin Xinyang and Jinse climbed up on the other carriage, Ye Xiu led the entourage to go after Qi Xunyi. There was a complicated thought that roaming around his mind after seeing how care Qi Xunyi was to Qianru. It wouldn't be ended well if the last prince of Xinghe has another thought on the other prince's wife, especially if it was Xiao Jun.

Ye Xiu couldn't confirm it yet, but he had a bad feeling about this.

With their speed, it took half day to reach Greenhill Mountain from the border of Rockstone Kingdom.

The moment they arrived, Qi Xunyi directly brought Qianru to the house that he occupied since Xinghe Kingdom had been destroyed, while Ye Xiu went to the elder house and asked for his guidance to help him to find the dragon blood plants.

People in Greenhill Mountain were living in small village that surrounded with poisonous plants, not just anyone could enter their place.

Lin Xinyang and Jinse helped Qianru to change her b.l.o.o.d.y dress and wiped her body clean, until now, she still not yet regained her consciousness.

During that period of time, Qi Xunyi was always there, he would stand outside of the room while waiting for Lin Xinyang and Jinse dressed Qianru up and ordered someone to make a ginger soup.

Though it was Lin Xinyang who fed Qianru, but Qi Xunyi would be standing nearby in case something happened and Qianru's condition became worst.

Only when the night fell, Ye Xiu and the Elder of Greenhill Mountain returned with the Dragon blood plants.

The physician there swiftly concocted the plants and made a bowl of medicine from it.

It took quite a long time for Qianru to drink all of the medicine, once it was finished, despite the color of her face remained the same, her breath wasn't as shallow as before, her body also wasn't starting to become warm.

"She will be alright for the meantime." The physician put down Qianru's wrist after he checked her pulse and added. "Feed her with the medicine every four hours." He said and stood up.

"Thank you so much…" Jinse was weeping a wave of relief spread in her heart. She wasn't only a close young maidservant for Qianru, but she also sincerely cared for her mistress.

Losing a child would be hard for Qianru to face the moment she was awake, but at least she was alive.

However, the next words of the physician crushed every soul inside the room when they heard it.

"She has a really bad miscarriage case, not to mention her body is weak to begin with. I am afraid in the future, she will have a problem to conceive again." The physician said in low and regretful voice.

All the people inside the room looked at the physician in disbelief as they missed to witness a lonely tear that fell from the corner of Qianru's eyes.
