The Cousin Is About to Marry，The Abstinent Young Lord Loses Control-Chapter 37: When Ah Zhen Awakens, You May Rise
Xie Yunzhen fell into unconsciousness.
While Ji Mingzhu was worried about the assassins finding them, she was also afraid that Xie Yunzhen might die just like that.
The wound on his arm was still oozing blood, darker than that of a normal person.
In this situation, Ji Mingzhu wasn’t sure whether she should stop the bleeding or expel the poisoned blood.
Xie Yunzhen’s face was pale, so fragile that any ordinary person could take his life.
In Ji Mingzhu’s memory, he was always invincible, strong and healthy, never facing such a situation.
After a moment of hesitation, she patted his arm, "Xie Yunzhen, can you hear me?"
The man didn’t respond, yet the hand that gripped her never let go.
No matter how she tried to pry it off, it was to no avail.
Ji Mingzhu’s brows furrowed slightly; she had already decided to stay away from Xie Yunzhen, and his entanglement at this moment only made her feel exhausted.
She exhaled heavily, telling herself not to bicker with a patient for now.
Everything should be discussed after they escaped the danger.
Seeing Xie Yunzhen’s wound bleeding incessantly, Ji Mingzhu decided to clean the dirt around his wound first.
Earlier, they had been in the water, and their clothes were soaked, with water still seeping into the wound.
In a short time, it had worsened significantly.
The handkerchief she carried had been lost somewhere, so Ji Mingzhu took out her pouch, squeezed out the water, and used it to clean Xie Yunzhen’s wound.
Perhaps it was a habit formed on the battlefield, but even in a coma, Xie Yunzhen hadn’t forgotten to defend himself.
As soon as Ji Mingzhu touched his wound, her wrist was seized.
The unexpected pain made her cry out.
The grip on her immediately loosened.
Ji Mingzhu scolded irritably, "Biting the hand that feeds you, where do you get the nerve to say I’m heartless!"
She stood up and kicked his wrist, "Let go."
Xie Yunzhen didn’t wake up, but obediently let go.
This made Ji Mingzhu somewhat suspect if he was really unconscious, or just pretending?
Her doubts didn’t last long, as Tianshui and the Hidden Guard soon found them.
Seeing Xie Yunzhen lying on the ground, the Hidden Guard with medical knowledge immediately stepped forward to give first aid.
Tianshui was also anxious but didn’t forget to check on Ji Mingzhu’s condition.
For the sake of Miss, the Young Master even dared to jump off a cliff.
If that’s not love, then what is?
Sooner or later, Miss will become their Young Madam.
"Miss, are you injured?"
Ji Mingzhu shook her head, but Tianshui had already noticed the wounds on her neck.
He quickly fetched clean gauze, "Miss, you’ll have to bandage it yourself for now."
Only then did Ji Mingzhu remember that the assassin had cut her neck during the abduction.
The subsequent chaos had made her forget about it.
When her fingers lightly touched the wound, it stung sharply, though not deeply.
"We’ll fetch Doctor Xi immediately, please endure it for a moment, Miss."
The wound wasn’t much, and Ji Mingzhu glanced at Xie Yunzhen, "Is the Young Master going to be alright?"
Tianshui had a serious expression, "With Doctor Xi’s help, the Young Master will surely recover."
Ji Mingzhu hoped so too.
Otherwise, who knows what the Commandery Princess, who cherished her son like her life, might do.
In this new life, she just wanted a peaceful life.
She didn’t want to be needlessly troubled and live a miserable life.
After some simple treatment, Xie Yunzhen and Ji Mingzhu were both taken to Xi Yu.
Seeing them, Xi Yu felt a headache coming on.
He glanced at the side room where Du Peilan, who had been sent in not long ago, hadn’t been treated yet.
"At this rate, I might as well become the official physician of your Duke Mansion!"
"Doctor Xi, the Young Master is poisoned. Please help him detoxify. Afterward, if you wanted the stars, the Young Master would pick them for you."
Xi Yu snorted, "I’m not a lady, why would I want stars?"
His gaze fell on Ji Mingzhu.
He knew Xie Yunzhen had affections for Miss Ji, even though that guy wouldn’t admit it.
If he didn’t like her, why jump off a cliff with her then?
Truly a romantic fool!
He summoned a maid, "Take Miss Ji to change her clothes."
Although Xie Yunzhen’s situation was urgent, they couldn’t neglect Ji Mingzhu either.
In this cold weather, if she caught a cold, Xie Yunzhen wouldn’t stop bothering him once he woke up.
After giving instructions, Xi Yu went to detoxify Xie Yunzhen.
Ji Mingzhu followed the maid to a side room. Since there was no female head of the household, there were no luxurious women’s clothes.
The maid could only offer Ji Mingzhu her unworn clothes.
Afraid Ji Mingzhu might mind, she nervously explained, "These are clean. I’ll go buy new ones in town for you soon."
Ji Mingzhu didn’t make things difficult for her; given the circumstances, having clean clothes was fortunate enough.
Being picky at such a time would be foolish.
"No need to buy new ones. If the Young Master is fine, we should return to the mansion today."
She had gone out with Xie Yunling, without a carriage or even any gold, left in the city by Xie Yunzhen.
If he didn’t arrange for a carriage, there was no way she could return on her own.
Even if she was willing to walk back, she had to consider the safety issues.
The assassins were lying in ambush on the way, well prepared. They were clearly aware of Xie Yunzhen and Xi Yu’s connection.
Knowing they met frequently, they chose a sitting-duck strategy.
Although they had escaped danger now, who knew if the person behind this would attempt another strike?
Ji Mingzhu valued her life too much; it’s better to be cautious.
People were coming and going in the small courtyard, busy as tops, while Du Peilan and her maid were completely ignored.
"Ji Mingzhu has someone to tend to her, while we’re treated as air?" Du Peilan felt humiliated.
Mei Xiang shared this sentiment.
"Madam, please calm down. The Young Master is also seriously injured. If we insist on Doctor Xi treating you first, won’t we offend the Young Master?"
Du Peilan was stumped; she didn’t intend to steal the doctor.
Only that her side was so desolate while Ji Mingzhu had maids attending to her.
The comparison made her feel unfair.
As Xi Yu was Ah Zhen’s friend and valued Ji Mingzhu, didn’t that mean Ji Mingzhu was the most important in Ah Zhen’s mind?
Du Peilan wasn’t a fool. Some things she could see clearly, just didn’t want to accept.
Did it have to be like the dream, with Ji Mingzhu destined to be Ah Zhen’s first wife?
Even if she foresaw the future, could she not change the predetermined path?
Du Peilan gazed out the window, lost in thought. If this was true, her early return to the capital was just ruining things in haste...
Xie Yunzhen was poisoned with a deadly toxin. Even with Xi Yu’s treatment, his life was only temporarily saved.
They didn’t return to the mansion that day; Mrs. Guan personally left the city to find and bring Ji Mingzhu back.
Xie Yunzhen’s poisoning couldn’t be kept a secret; Princess An He rushed outside the city immediately.
Meanwhile, Ji Mingzhu was summoned to Crane Dance Hall by the Old Madam.
The Old Madam had a kind face, but her gaze toward Ji Mingzhu was as sharp as a knife. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
"Ah Zhen was injured saving you, and now he’s in a coma. You shall kneel in the Buddha hall and pray for him; you’ll rise when he wakes."
