Chapter 1020: Chapter 1019: Di Cheng’s Regret! Chapter 1020: Chapter 1019: Di Cheng’s Regret! Gazing at his daughter lying motionless at the head of the bed with her eyes tightly closed, his heart was twisted in agony.
With a cry of deep sorrow, he called out, “Feng’er!…”
He could no longer contain his heartache and wept uncontrollably over Xiao Feng’s body.
“It’s all my fault, all my fault! I forced Xiao Feng, insisting she must bear a son to carry on the Feng Family lineage. It’s who killed her! Feng’er, please wake up. Dad won’t force you anymore, Dad will never force you again! Feng’er, my Feng’er…”
The crying was heart-wrenchingly shrill, yet Feng’er continued to lie there without movent; instead, the child beside her, startled by the crying, also began to wail.
For a ti, the room was filled with the sounds of bitter, grieving sobs.
Tears swirled in Liu Sisi’s eyes as she looked up at the roof, but she couldn’t stop their flow, and they stread down her cheeks.
“Don’t cry, oh oh oh… baby, don’t cry, good baby…”
Finally, soone nearby could not bear it any longer and gingerly picked up the child, cradling and gently soothing in her arms.
The child seed to sense that her mother would soon leave her, and no matter how Ms. Gao coaxed, she continued to cry inconsolably.
Ironsmith Fan, hearing the child’s crying, managed to stop his tears.
He wiped away the tears with his sleeve, slowly stood up, and took the child in his arms: “Give her to ! Let have a look…”
Just yesterday, he was jubilantly sharing his joy with the neighbors, but in just one night, how did everything co crashing down!
“Child, don’t cry, stop crying, and look at your mother! Take a good look while you still can, after this, you might never see her again! Child…” Ironsmith Fan held the child, weeping uncontrollably.
Liu Sisi could no longer bear to watch and, overwheld by sorrow, she rushed out of the house, ran into the courtyard, and onto the avenue.
Outside, the day had begun to brighten, and the avenue was bustling with travelers. All who saw Liu Sisi’s tear-streaked eyes could not help but look back repeatedly.
“Your Highness, are we really going to abandon the Eldest Young Madam at this point?” Ms. Gao, too, had eyes red from weeping.
Ms. Gao’s words awakened her; Liu Sisi forcefully wiped away her tears.
“Of course, we’re not giving up. As long as there’s even the slightest chance, the slightest hope, we’ll never give up! Co on, let’s go back and see if the doctors have any other solutions!”
The two turned around and entered the room again.
Soon enough, a procession of doctors arrived.
However, unlike yesterday, a multitude of doctors ca today, all brought by order of Liu Sisi.
Initially, the doctors arrived in a huff, but upon facing Liu Sisi’s eyes filled with a murderous intent, the expressions on their faces seized up; none dared to utter another word as they took turns examining Feng’er.
At the mont, Feng’er’s body was icy to the touch, not resembling soone alive; her face was as pale as paper, her lips a shade of ashen white. Yet, bizarrely, her cheeks bore an abnormal flush—no matter how you looked at it, it was strange.
Each doctor felt her pulse, then approached Liu Sisi to report.
“… She has been injured giving birth, and now she’s at the end of her strength. Not only that, but she has also been poisoned. I cannot determine what poison it is, and it will take ti to identify. However, ti is what the patient lacks the most. I fear she may not last until the antidote can be prepared…”
Liu Sisi closed her eyes and, without saying anything, waved them away.
One after another, doctors ca to report their opinions and thoughts after feeling the pulse, and the results were all similar.
The more she listened, the more Liu Sisi’s heart sank.
By chance, the elder doctor who had co to treat Feng’er last night was brought over again. Liu Sisi stared into his eyes, “Your Honor, is it true that there really is nothing that can be done for the patient at the mont? Not even a glimr of hope or a sliver of chance?”
The elder doctor showed so hesitation, sighed, and finally gave a glimr of hope.
“Princess, even if you summon all the doctors from Macheng County, it would be of no use. If you really want to save her, there is one person who I think might be able to help.”
Liu Sisi was overjoyed imdiately, “Please speak, Your Honor! If the patient is saved, I will surely hang a plaque for you to sing praises of your great kindness and great virtue!”
“All that is too insubstantial. A healer’s heart is like that of parents; it is our duty.”
The elder doctor waved his hand to stop Liu Sisi from continuing her thoughts, “At present, considering the patient’s condition, unless you can find a disciple from Shenlong Valley quickly, I have heard that a direct disciple of Shenlong Valley had gone to Wanzhou City a few days ago. If anyone else has the ability to save her, I fear that under the heaven, only a successor of Shenlong Valley might have the ans. However, you need to hurry. The patient can only last for half an hour at most. If you don’t find soone within that half an hour, then…”
A successor from Shenlong Valley?
Liu Sisi furrowed her brow. The person the elder doctor was referring to must be Young Master Wuxin!
Not to ntion, if Young Master Wuxin with his dical skills were here, there would indeed be an eighty percent chance of saving Feng’er.
But the problem now was that Young Master Wuxin had long taken Niuniu back to Shenlong Valley. Where was she supposed to look for him, and within half an hour at that? It simply wasn’t possible.
Besides, she didn’t even know where Shenlong Valley was!
Liu Sisi’s silence made the elder doctor sigh repeatedly and shake his head as he turned and left with his dicine box.
In his eyes, perhaps she, too, was a cold-hearted person?
Unable to find Young Master Wuxin and watching Feng’er’s chest rise and fall more and more slowly, the painful feeling enveloped Liu Sisi heavily.
“Feng’er! Where is Feng’er? Feng’er, where are you, Feng’er?”
Like a gust of wind, Di Cheng rushed in from outside.
As he burst into the house, his gaze fell on Feng’er at the head of the bed, and he froze in place.
“Feng’er…”
He couldn’t fathom that lying motionless there was his Feng’er, his very own Feng’er, who had never even had a minor illness before, and was always full of energy. He could never have imagined there would co a day when she would be so frail, lying there.
He moved closer step by slow step until he cautiously approached the bedside and then slowly knelt down.
“Feng’er, wake up. Qiu’er and Yue’er can’t be without their mother. Please get up. As long as you are willing to wake up, I will indulge you in everything from now on, is that good?”
Di Cheng held her hand, that chillingly cold hand, and buried his head against it. “Haven’t you always said that you wanted to go see different places? As long as you can wake up, I promise you, I will no longer be busy outside all day, too busy to spend ti with you. We can raise our three children together, all right? Don’t leave behind… Feng’er…”
He regretted, he had co to realize, and only now did he truly understand what he most wanted and what he should have cherished the most.
But everything, everything was far too late!
