Chapter 101 - 101 Amazing
101 Amazing
This was her husband, and they had been husband and wife for decades. To her, he was a part of her.
Imperial Duchess Wei’s sharp gaze shot towards Gu Yanfei. Her fierce gaze seemed to be saying that if anything happened to Imperial Duke Wei, she would definitely not bypass the person who had murdered her husband.
Gu Yanfei was as still as a mountain as she gently stroked her sleeve.
“…” Imperial Duke Wei let out a low moan, his voice weak.
He raised his head with difficulty. His face was pale, his lips and beard were stained with black blood, and his breathing was very weak.
Madam Wei looked at Imperial Duke Wei worriedly. She gently wiped the black blood from the corner of his lips with a handkerchief and called out in a choked voice, “Ah Shen…”
“He’s fine,” Gu Yanfei said calmly.
As soon as she finished speaking, a cold wind at the window blew her robe, making it flutter.
Fine?! Everyone, including Murong Yong, couldn’t help but look at Imperial Duke Wei, who was sitting on the chair. Imperial Duke Wei’s face was as pale as paper, and he was breathing less and less. He was so weak that he looked like he would die at any moment.
But this girl actually said that he was fine?!
Imperial Duchess Wei frowned tightly, her face as calm as water. She did not believe Gu Yanfei’s words at all.
“If you say he’s fine, he’s fine!?”
Imperial Duchess Wei’s words were as cold as ice. She gestured for the attendant to support Imperial Duke Wei, planning to go over and talk to Gu Yanfei.
Her husband had vomited so much blood that it was as if he had vomited all the internal organs in his body. How could he be fine!
So what if the Eldest Prince was this girl’s backer? Even if she caused trouble in front of the imperial court, she would not let go of this liar who harmed her husband’s life!
Imperial Duchess Wei had just taken half a step aggressively when she felt her cuff tighten. She looked down and saw Imperial Duke Wei holding a corner of her sleeve.
“I…” Imperial Duke Wei’s eyes widened, and his eyeballs bulged slightly. The whites of his eyes were covered in spider web-like blood vessels, and even the breathing between his nose and mouth had stopped.
Imperial Duchess Wei was shocked and afraid, and her heart suddenly shrank into a ball.
Murong Yong was also shocked. He almost thought that Imperial Duke Wei was going to say his last words.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore…” Imperial Duke Wei suddenly took a deep breath before finishing his sentence, but his voice was still weak.
Imperial Duchess Wei: “…”
Silence filled the private room.
The people outside were all stunned and looked at each other in a daze.
Imperial Duke Wei had said that it no longer hurt, but he had been on the verge of death just now. Could it be that he had finally recovered?!
Everyone was bewildered as they watched Imperial Duke Wei’s breathing visibly stabilize. Even his originally dazed eyes began to take on some life.
Not only were the outsiders in disbelief, but even Imperial Duke Wei himself was stunned.
One moment he was touching his abdomen, the next his chest and throat, and the next he was pinching his thigh hard.
The pain in his thigh made his face twist slightly.
It also made him certain that his abdomen really did not hurt anymore.
Just now, he was in so much pain that he looked like he was rolling in a mountain of knives and a sea of fire. Now, it was completely painless.
Imperial Duke Wei took two deep breaths and tried to calm himself down, but he realized that even his breathing had become smoother.
“I’m fine,” he muttered. He grabbed the arm of the chair with one hand and tried to get up. The attendant hurried to help him, but he waved him away.
It was only when he stood up straight that Imperial Duke Wei felt a sense of reality. He felt that his body was much lighter, as if all the toxins that had accumulated in his body for many years had been expelled.
Although his face was also a little pale, he was in good spirits. He was a completely different person from the old man who had vomited blood and was on the verge of death.
Imperial Duchess Wei felt as if she was in a dream and almost pinched her thigh.
“Ah Shen, it doesn’t hurt anymore? Have you really recovered?” She couldn’t help but ask. She looked Imperial Duke Wei up and down and held his right arm with one hand.
Imperial Duke Wei’s feet were still a little unsteady. He raised his hand to touch his stomach again and felt that something was amiss, but he was also certain. “It really doesn’t hurt anymore!”
Strange? What was wrong? Imperial Duke Wei thought hard.
The guards and other idlers outside the private room had seen everything from beginning to end. At this moment, they were all dumbfounded and amazed.
This imperial duke had escaped death. Was he really fine now?
If so, this Taoist priest girl was simply a living immortal!
Amazing, too amazing!
Everyone stared at Gu Yanfei with burning eyes. At this moment, when they looked at her again, they felt that her entire body seemed to be surrounded by a transcendent immortal aura. They secretly praised this girl for being really divine and pure!
Under the gazes of so many people, Gu Yanfei was still calm and composed. Her smile was faint and she did not feel uncomfortable at all.
She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and bent down to pick up the fragment that Imperial Duke Wei had spat out earlier. She spun it casually and waved at Chu Yi with her other hand.
“It’s this.”
She said these words to Chu Yi.
The casualness in her words shocked Imperial Duke Wei. He watched helplessly as Chu Yi was summoned to her side.
“It’s a fragment from the tip of an arrow.” Chu Yi took the small fragment and recognized it at a glance.
Imperial Duke Wei recalled Gu Yanfei saying that he had been injured by an arrow when he was young and blurted out, “It’s that arrow?!”
The arrow that had hit him 20 years ago!
Gu Yanfei nodded with a faint smile. “That’s right.”
“20 years ago, you were injured by an arrow on the battlefield. However, when the military doctor pulled out the arrow, he accidentally left a small fragment of the tip in your body.”
“This fragment has been in your stomach for years, making the intestines in your abdominal cavity stick together. That’s why you’re feeling nauseated and bloated after eating. Gradually, it turns into abdominal pain and blood.”
“You still don’t know how to control yourself. There’s no end to the hard liquor!”
She was certain that Imperial Duke Wei would definitely have stomach discomfort every time he drank strong wine.
