Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 12 - Jia Xiazhu

Inside the woodshed of the Princess' Mansion, it was cold and damp.

Pitch-black with no light, Xia Zhu was tossed aside like a piece of tattered cotton, her blood already dried.

No one cared whether she was alive or dead.

Squeak, squeak, squeak—

A grey-haired rat scurried out, drawn by the scent of blood, it approached her.

Suddenly, a hand seized the rat with lightning speed.

Xia Zhu opened her eyes, a cold light flickered within, and she snapped the rat's neck.

Having not had a sip of rice water for a whole day and night, and severely injured, Xia Zhu stuffed the rat into her mouth and chewed it roughly a few times.

The salty and metallic taste of fresh blood still lingered on her tongue, she licked her lips, now blood-stained like a blooming poppy, her eyes full of unsated desire.

Hiss, a strong wind came from the dark.

A hint of surprise flashed across Xia Zhu's eyes, but it was coupled with a trace of mockery.

With a lift of her hand, without looking back, she caught the stealthy attack from behind.

An odd knife was clamped between her thumb and middle finger.

The door of the woodshed opened, and a woman stood at the doorway.

"You're not Xia Zhu."

Feng Bailing did not expect to see such a scene upon entering the woodshed.

Truly magical—it seemed that a person on the brink of death had come back to life.

Utilizing the faint moonlight, Feng Bailing made out the stranger's skills; she was not Xia Zhu.

"Everyone says the legitimate eldest daughter of the Yong'an Princess Mansion is both ugly and foolish. It seems the rumors were wrong— you're just ugly, not foolish. Sadly, you'll soon turn into a corpse."

A devilish gleam shot through Xia Zhu's eyes; her fingers twitched slightly, and the scalpel in Feng Bailing's hand spun out a cold arc, ready to shoot back.

In an instant, the other's face changed, her right hand feeling numb and powerless, the scalpel dropped to the ground.

"You used poison!"

Xia Zhu's face turned pale, damn it, she usually used poison on others, but today she fell into the hands of an ugly monster.

She struggled to rise, wanting to strangle that woman.

"Don't move rashly; right now, only your fingers should be numb. Move a bit, and you'll feel your entire hand go numb, and if you circulate your qi, your whole body will become numb, eventually turning into a puddle of blood."

Feng Bailing lied without batting an eye.

On that scalpel, she had smeared anesthetic ointment.

The numbness spread from his fingertips to his palm. He wouldn't really dissolve into a puddle of blood, would he?

The person became panic-stricken upon hearing this; not to mention moving, even his breaths became considerably shallower.

This woman was vicious!

Seeing that she had bluffed the other party, Feng Bailing closed the door of the woodshed unhurriedly. In the encompassing darkness, two pairs of eyes with different expressions stared at each other.

"You... you realized long ago that I'm not Xia Zhu?"

The person's voice even changed, becoming deep and pleasant to the ear, clearly a man's voice. It was a mystery how he had managed to disguise himself as Xia Zhu in build and appearance.

"The location of the wound is wrong. Although Dongfang Li isn't very smart, he is very skilled. His stab hit Xia Zhu's vital spot, and she couldn't have survived. But your wound is three inches off. I didn't expose you because I wanted to see what you were up to by infiltrating the Princess' Mansion..."

At that time, Feng Bailing was somewhat cautious, which is why she had the 'Xia Zhu' thrown into the woodshed first. Her words suddenly stopped.

The effect of the anesthetic wouldn't last much longer.

"Or is it because the Seventh Prince is not giving up and sent you to kill me?"

After Feng Bailing finished speaking, a glint flashed in Xia Zhu's eyes.

"What's with all this Ah Qi, Ah Ba; Lord Gong, I just have bad luck, ending up into your horse carriage and thus entering the Princess' Mansion. Otherwise, how could a high-rank martial artist from the Xingxiu Sect fall into the hands of someone as ugly and monstrous as you!"

The man was so angry that his back teeth were itching.

The poison was too strong. In addition to causing numbness, he also felt his body alternately hot and cold. To think that the Princess' Mansion had hidden such a master of poison, it was terrifying.

"Xingxiu Sect, huh? I better notify Dugu Wu."

Feng Bailing sudden realization hit her; this guy must be the leader of those who were chasing Dugu Wu, probably having fought to a stalemate with Dugu Wu, then being pursued and hiding in the Princess' Mansion.

This guy also had some strategies, considering the whole Chu City, the last place Dugu Wu would come was the Princess' Mansion.

"Wait... If you can help me keep this a secret, I will tell you a secret, a huge secret."

The man grew desperate, also fearful of the poison in his body, he didn't dare to move rashly.

Feng Bailing kept walking without stopping, a killer left in the Princess' Mansion was undoubtedly a time bomb.

She, as a person, didn't like to leave troubles for later.

"You have a son!"

The man gritted his teeth.

Feng Bailing stopped in her tracks, her voice remained calm, but her heart was stirring up a tempest.

"A son?"

Feng Bailing felt as if her heart was gripped by a hand, breathing became somewhat difficult.

The other person did want to explain clearly, but his consciousness was gradually blurring, and he collapsed forward, unconscious.

Feng Bailing moved forward to check his breath and found his forehead burning hot.

"He's got a fever."

Feng Bailing lit the oil lamp in the firewood room, helplessly inspecting the man's injuries.

This guy's injuries were only worse, not lighter, than those of Dugu Wu, and they were untreated, no wonder he pretended to be Xia Zhu to sneak in, his wounds were infected and resulted in a persistent high fever.

After disinfecting his wounds with iodine and doing some basic treatment, she took out a piece of antipyretic medication, and while fetching the anti-inflammatory drug, Feng Bailing was slightly taken aback.

There were only two pieces of anti-inflammatory drug left.

She silently repeated the name of the drug several times, but the drugs in the medical kit did not multiply.

In the past, the integrated emergency kit was very smart, it would automatically replenish the medication as long as the owner needed it, it seems that the Seventh Sense wasn't fully recovered yet.

Feng Bailing left one piece and fed the other to "Lord Gong."

In the moment she fed the medicine, Feng Bailing witnessed a bizarre scene.

Due to the high fever, "Xia Zhu's" face turned red, beads of sweat covered his forehead, and a fiery red ancient "fire" character appeared at the brow, and after the mark appeared, several shallow wounds on the man's body began to heal slowly at a visible rate...

"Eldest Miss, the horse carriage of the master and the second young lady has already arrived at the mansion gate."

As Feng Bailing was surprised by the scene in front of her, she heard Nanny Gui's reminder from outside the firewood room.

"If the master asks, just say I've gone to sleep in the west wing and no one is allowed to disturb me."

After giving a few words of instructions, Feng Bailing locked the firewood room and headed straight for the west wing.

Inside the west wing, only a brazier was left, and the windows and doors were opened according to Feng Bailing's request. A ventilated environment would be more beneficial to the patient's recovery.

Nanny Gui and the maids had laid out a soft couch for Feng Bailing to accompany Dongfang Lianhua.

Nanny Gui was excited in her heart. Although the Eldest Miss had changed a lot this time she returned, she seemed to have improved her attitude towards the Princess significantly.

Before sleeping, Feng Bailing checked on Dongfang Lianhua's condition again. The blood pressure had stabilized.

"It's just a pity that I can't use the blood pressure monitor in the Medical Cabin, otherwise I could check the blood pressure at any time."

Feng Bailing took out the Jade Pendant she had received from Dugu Wu and clutched it close to her chest, quickly falling asleep.

The night deepened, and the Jade Pendant emitted a faint purple light from time to time. The purple glow, thread by thread, followed Feng Bailing's breath into her body...
