Even If It Can Be Cured, I Won’t Cure You

The Lu family was praying and finally saw Feng Yu Heng arrive. Ge shi personally led Feng Yu Heng to Lu Yan’s courtyard. While walking, she said: “The symptoms from Yan’er being poisoned are getting more severe. She coughed up blood earlier in the morning, and some of the blood was black. Even a common person could tell that she has been poisoned, but even after a few groups of doctors came, they could not find the source of the poison. The servants that work in the manor have been swapped out, and the medicine was personally fetched by this wife. Even the utensil for preparing the medicine was changed, and it still had no effect.” Ge shi was on the verge of crying, but she knew that now was not the time for crying. As long as Feng Yu Heng had come, it was good. Even if the process of the situation was not mentioned, she begged Feng Yu Heng to save Lu Yan.

Left Prime Minister Lu Song was currently sighing in Lu Yan’s room. A maidservant came to report that Imperial Daughter Ji An had arrived, thus he quickly got up to receive her. He was very respectful, also kneeling to perform a grand salute; however, Feng Yu Heng waved her hand and said: “Lord Left Prime Minister, there’s no need to be so courteous. This imperial daughter came today for a medical examination. If these manners can be set aside, just set them aside.” After saying this, she walked over to Lu Yan’s bed with Wang Chuan and Huang Quan at her side.

The maidservant, Ru Yi, was still standing at the side of Lu Yan’s bed. Seeing that Feng Yu Heng came, she also quickly saluted; however, Feng Yu Heng completely ignored her. In the end, it was Ge shi that tugged her to the side to prevent her from getting in Feng Yu Heng’s way.

Lu Yan was not unconscious. She was quite alert, but her complexion was without a single trace of red. It was as though her entire body had been hollowed out, and she had become a shriveled figure.

Speaking truthfully, seeing her like this caused Feng Yu Heng to be given a fright. In just a few days time, she could actually end up like this. The person that had carried out this poisoning had really wanted to take Lu Yan’s life. This was a little too violent.

Seeing Feng Yu Heng come, Lu Yan was a bit emotional. She struggled to try and sit up; however, she just did not have the strength. She could not even raise her arm to grab Feng Yu Heng’s hand. Helpless, she could only continue to lie in bed and look toward Feng Yu Heng with an unreconciled gaze. Her sunken eye sockets carried tears, but she resolutely refused to let them fall.

“Imperial Daughter!” She summoned the energy to speak. Her voice was weak; however, it was not to the point that nobody could hear her. “Imperial Daughter, as long as you have come, it’s good. I am not afraid of dying. I just want to know who it was that harmed me. I’m sorry. I know that my engagement to His Highness the eighth prince came to be as a result of Imperial Daughter’s help. I will not try to guess at the circumstances; however, I also understand that it was a trick that Imperial Daughter employed for His Highness the eighth prince. But I will not argue about it. I like His Highness the eighth prince and want to marry him. Regardless of how the marriage came to be, I am fine with it. That’s why, Imperial Daughter, I must thank you. I just never thought that there would be someone so vicious that they would actually try to poison me to death to prevent His Majesty from sanctioning our marriage! Imperial Daughter, the person that poisoned me is the one that ruined your plans. You must not let them off easy!”

Lu Yan spoke through gritted teeth. The poison had not affected her ability to speak. Although her voice was weak, her bearing was still there. Feng Yu Heng did not argue with her too much, only nodding and saying: “Don’t worry, it will definitely be investigated carefully.” She then reached out to feel Lu Yan’s pulse for a while. Sure enough, she had been poisoned. The poisoning had been done quite brazenly, and it had been done very fiercely. It would also cause quite a bit of suffering, and it would not immediately kill the victim; however, the victim would be completely hollowed out within ten days. In the end, a human body would be the only thing left behind. The person would be like a balloon that was slowly deflating with each passing day until the person died. She told Lu Yan: “It can’t be cured, and there is no medicine that can cure it. From the day you were poisoned to the day of your death, there will be at most ten days. I can help increase how long you will live, but it will definitely not surpass one month. You will suffer greatly, and it would be worse than dying after ten days. This is something that you should think about yourself.”
