The princess was ordained by Heaven.

Chapter 239 Falling into a Coma

Although Zheng Xun had fainted, the matter was not over yet.

Wu Zongyu shoved the young man next to him: "Hurry up and bang the gong!"

However, no matter how much the youth banged gongs and shouted, it had little effect.

Many people have lost their composure; they now have only one thought in their minds: the earthquake is real, escape, they must escape!

They were in a hurry to tell their families and to pack their belongings.

When you're in a rush, things can easily go wrong.

A scream suddenly erupted from the crowd.

"Legs! My legs!"

"No!"

"Which bastard tripped your grandpa!"

Wu Zongyu felt a pang of anxiety. He had already mobilized all the people he could, but it still wasn't enough.

He began to regret sending all his men out a few days earlier.

Fortunately, he wasn't alone.

Che Zhong'an and Pang Yunyi, who had left, soon returned with a large group of people.

The situation was brought under control with great difficulty, and in the end, no major chaos occurred; only a few people suffered minor injuries.

"Leave this place to us, Lord Wu, you and the princess go back first."

Wu Zongyu glanced at her and saw that Lü Mengying had already carried Zheng Xun a distance away. He responded and quickly followed.

Lü Mengying walked very fast, and Wu Zongyu had a hard time keeping up.

He dared not complain, for the cold-faced guard's expression was truly unpleasant.

He followed behind, panting, and said eagerly, "Lord Lü, I have sent a message back to the manor by carrier pigeon. The doctor will be here soon. Would you like a horse or a carriage? I will arrange it right away!"

Seeing his thoughtfulness, Lü Mengying softened her tone slightly: "No need, I'll go first."

After saying that, she hugged Zheng Xun and gathered her energy.

Watching her graceful figure disappear swiftly with Zheng Xun at the end of the road, Wu Zongyu said admiringly, "Indeed, the carriage is slow, riding a horse is bumpy, and the surroundings are too crowded, so it can't keep up with the speed of a great hero."

This method has no other drawbacks, except that it's tiring.

Without even taking a break, he found a guard who could ride a horse: "Quickly, take me back!"

His mind was now completely focused on the princess. If the princess was alright, he might only receive a few words of reprimand, but if anything happened to her, he would lose even if he had nine lives.

Meanwhile, Lü Mengying returned to her residence, where the doctor had just arrived.

Zheng Xun lay quietly on the bed, like a silent traditional Chinese painting, the brushstrokes outlining her features and flesh and blood, but without adding a vibrant soul.

Lu Mengying heard her warm heartbeat pounding in her mind and saw her calm breathing pulsating on her skin. For the first time, she felt the silence was so heavy, making her limbs feel weak.

She didn't even have time to feel panicked or wipe the sweat from her face.

Because she was afraid of disturbing the doctor taking her pulse.

The doctor hesitated for a long time before withdrawing his hand.

Lü Mengying's voice was hoarse: "How is it?"

"Her mind and spirit are exhausted, and all five vital energies are depleted; the princess's pulse is very weak..."

Lu Mengying's gaze was so oppressive that the doctor's voice grew softer and softer as he spoke.

He felt he had taken on a hot potato, and for a moment he couldn't bring himself to say the rest.

"Please speak frankly, doctor."

The princess is not the type to take her anger out on innocent people, and naturally she wouldn't.

After a moment's thought, the doctor said tactfully, "This is the first time I've felt such a pulse. If I'm not careful enough, I might mistakenly think the princess is... deceased."

He was actually very curious about how a princess could have ended up like this, but he knew no one had time to answer his questions, so he dared not ask a single question.

"Could medication be used?"

"It should be possible, but we need to consider it carefully, very carefully," he sighed. "I am not knowledgeable enough to be competent."

With his abilities, it's not that he can't make a move, but that he doesn't dare to.

He cannot afford to risk making a mistake.

Lu Mengying noticed his hesitation and tried to keep her tone calm: "I'll do my best, if..."

She wanted to say she wouldn't hold a grudge against him, but she realized that given her position and circumstances, she couldn't fulfill such a promise.

So, without hesitation, she decided to be a villain: "If anything happens to us, none of us will survive."

doctor:……

Great, everything is going as expected.

With utmost calmness, he wrote down a prescription: "I can only promise that the princess's condition will not worsen within seven days; there is no guarantee whatsoever."

Hearing his resigned tone, Lü Mengying softly hummed in agreement.

At this moment, Wu Zongyu finally arrived.

When Lü Mengying saw him, her expression immediately relaxed: "You stay here and guard the princess. Don't let anyone get close. I'll go and prepare the medicine for the princess."

In fact, she didn't want to entrust either of these matters to others because she didn't trust anyone.

Well, Wu Zongyu is a little better, but only by a little.

So, she added anxiously, "Lord Wu, the princess's life is our life..."

Wu Zongyu said helplessly, "Lord Lü, I understand."

Lu Mengying went to prepare the medicine, turning back every few steps.

Seeing that Zheng Xunren was still unconscious, Wu Zongyu asked the doctor guarding the area with concern, "How is the princess...?"

The doctor forced a smile: "I can't say that."

Wu Zongyu: ?

Guard against him?

He practically had his head strapped to the waistband of those princess pants!

Even if the princess were to lose her life, her current unconscious state would be enough for the emperor to take his wrath upon her entire family!

He now hopes the princess will wake up, so that his sins will be lessened and the princess can speak up for him.

He wished the princess would come down so he could lie on top of her!

As a result, they still guarded against him!

He felt wronged, but had nowhere to confide in.

The bored doctor sat nearby for a while, but couldn't help asking, "Princess, have you encountered any danger? How did you get yourself into this state?"

He was just curious this once! Just once!

Wu Zongyu said smugly, "You can't say that."

Doctor: Are you so vengeful?

However, he was not afraid: "Lord Wu, you know that the princess's condition is currently unclear. Understanding the cause and effect may help with the diagnosis."

Wu Zongyu: Although what you said makes a lot of sense, it's useless even if it does.

After all, there are some things he doesn't not want to say, but rather things he can't bring himself to say.

He said cryptically, "You should have heard that the princess is skilled in divination, but how exhausting it is to try to uncover the secrets of heaven..."

The doctor clearly didn't trust his explanation.

So when Lü Mengying returned, he immediately decided to file a complaint.

But to his surprise, Lü Mengying did not hold it against him: "There are some things that are indeed inconvenient to say. Lord Wu did not lie to you."

The doctor dared not lose his temper with them, but he couldn't help but let out a sneer.

"If you don't want to tell me, then fine. You two don't need to coax me."

Lu Mengying said in a serious tone, "The princess first predicted the earthquake, and then she exhausted too much power to prove her ability, which is why she fell into a coma. That is the cause and effect."

The little immortals were using the power of immortals, and it's normal that they, being mere mortals, couldn't understand it.

However, Lü Mengying still felt guilty, blaming herself for not protecting the princess and for not being able to help her.
