The Protagonist Just Wants to Fall in Love [MTL]

Chapter 44-45 [WORLD 3]

Chapter 44 Regent

It was the hottest time of the year, with the blazing sun high in the sky. At noon, the cicadas were chirping continuously on the branches. In a courtyard in the east of the capital, servants were running back and forth.

　　Two maids were standing at the door of the wing room, their foreheads wet with sweat. The maids wiped their sweat with their sleeves, looked into the distance from time to time, paced anxiously, and could not help talking in a low voice with the maid next to them.

　　"What should I do?"

　　"Why hasn't Xiao Zhuo brought Lord Li here yet? If it's too late, if it's too late..."

　　"Could it be that the prince is..." The maidservant made the shape of "hopeless" with her mouth but did not dare to say it out loud.

　　The other person was still frightened and broke out in a sweat, "Shhhhhh! Don't say that nonsense!"

　　"Here he comes! Lord Li is here! Get out of the way!" the servant shouted loudly, followed by a white-haired old man.

　　This is Lord Li, the imperial physician in the palace, who is also the doctor who often treats the patient inside. The maid hurriedly opened the door and let Lord Li in.

　　The room was cool and the windows were closed. A man was lying quietly on the bed. His handsome face was pale and his breathing was almost nonexistent. It seemed that he was terminally ill and there was no cure.

　　Lord Li felt the pulse, and the servants surrounded him, not daring to breathe.

　　The room was silent for a while. When Lord Li placed his hand on the cold wrist that seemed to be broken at a touch, his heart skipped a beat. There was actually no pulse. Sweat broke out on his forehead. He felt the pulse carefully, fearing that he had neglected something and felt the pulse wrong.

　　This prince has been weak since childhood and has been hanging on by a thread. A Taoist priest once said that he would not live past his twenties. Lord Li has treated him for many years, but he can only help him nourish his body with medicine and cannot cure him.

　　He was born with a weak constitution, and Lord Li knew it. He had been holding on until now, but he was already at the end of his rope.

　　The servant who came to see him told him on the way that the prince returned to the mansion a few days ago and got very angry for some unknown reason. He then asked someone to summon a dozen prostitutes into the mansion secretly. He sent those women away the next day and then stayed indoors.

　　If you are already weak and don't exercise self-control, it will definitely harm your body.

　　Without the prince's order, the servants did not dare to enter the house, and this caused trouble.

　　Lord Li's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Suddenly, he felt a slight throbbing under his fingertips. He concentrated and tried it, then breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly turned around and told his servants to get some medicine and boil it.

　　The servants were already very familiar with this process, and they were relieved to hear that there was still hope. If this person was gone, they would probably not survive either.

Wen Yijin lay on the bed with his eyes closed. His body was still numb and his breathing was weak. He could only hear the sound of footsteps coming and going hurriedly, and someone was giving him an injection.

　　My body felt so heavy that I couldn't even open my eyelids.
