108 Concerned - 33.4 (1/2)

After a few moments, the calm look on her face gradually turned serious until the time she let go and gently placed his hand back down to his side with a somber expression before going back to open the door, just in time to see Granny Fang coming back from the kitchens.

When Fan Zhu Xia opened the door, she surprised all those outside who were waiting for her to come out especially after seeing the dark look on her face.

Meeting Yi Ting Zhe and Granny Fang's gaze, Fan Zhu Xia opened her mouth and the next words that she spoke made both Yi Ting Zhe and Granny Fang's blood run cold.

”Young Master Wu's condition is extremely bad. The internal injuries he received recently has been partially dealt with by the medicinal pills that Father sent over but due to his previous ailment acting up and being aggravated, the pills were only able to help his situation by about forty to fifty percent... He's not in grave danger but if he isn't treated immediately, the sequelae he might develop in the future will be particularly painful and detrimental to his future cultivation.”

Stunned at her words, Yi Ting Zhe still blurted out and asked, ”Is there anything we can do?!”

Faced with his question, Fan Zhu Xia felt a moment of hesitation before she resolutely pushed it away.

She knew that if she helped now, there might be a risk of her identity being discovered but when she thought back to it again, didn't Wu Jun Qiao already know who she is? Besides that, even she knew that outside of his identity as the adopted son of General Wu Zhang He, he also had another identity as the mysterious Lord Owner of Thousand Treasures Pavillion; an organization that has power not restricted in Thunder Vale Country but also reaches far and deep to other countries as well.

Since that's the case then what does she have to lose?

With the mentality of taking a gamble, Fan Zhu Xia opened her mouth and said, ”If you trust This Princess then I might be able to help...”

As Wu Jun Qiao's trusted aide and the main person who was entrusted to find a certain girl, of course Yi Ting Zhe knew the true identity of the princess before him and upon hearing her words, a strong feeling of hope shot through him.

”Princess, if you can treat our young master, we would be in your debt...” Yi Ting Zhe responded almost immediately with a serious look on his face while Granny Fang nodded in agreement.

”Rest assured Princess that General Wu has also told me to listen to your words even if it concerns our young master. The only thing that he prohibits is for the Young Master's face to be exposed...” Granny Fang added.

”Fine? Of course it's fine! More than fine! Young Master has suffered from his old injuries so much in the past couple of years, the fact there is a chance to treat it is already more than we can ask for...” Yi Ting Zhe burst out, his gruff voice slightly shaking due to a flood of his emotions which is a mixture of relief, joy, pain, concern and excitement, all at the same time.

”Alright then I'll start stabilizing his condition now and make sure he has enough strength to wake up. In the meantime, I'll need you to prepare the following herbs and once everything is gathered, I'll prepare a medicinal bath for your young master to soak in once he's awake...” Fan Zhu Xia said while at the same time making her way to the table inside and bringing out a roll of paper, a brush and a bottle of ink before rapidly writing down numerous herbs that was needed for the treatment and handing it over to Yi Ting Zhe who followed her in.

”How soon can you gather it? Some herbs listed are a bit rare and I do still have some of it back at my Princess Manor but it might not be enough for a long treatment...”

With a quick look towards the list, Yi Ting Zhe, met her gaze and said in a serious voice, ”We'll have it done as soon as possible... Half of this herbs listed, we already have. This subordinate will strive to have at least a portion enough for one treatment within the day...”

”Good enough. The preliminary treatment I'll be doing will still take a long time so I'll have to trouble you to guard the courtyard and make sure that no one interrupts me. Once the herbs have been gathered, just wait for me to come out and I'll personally prepare it since this medicinal bath needs to be used as soon as it is done to ensure that it doesn't lose any of it's efficacy.”

”Understood.” Yi Ting Zhe replied with a nod before bringing out a small bamboo flute and blowing on it making four dark clothed men appeared.

”Stay in the courtyard and make sure Princess Leifeng isn't disturbed during the course of her treatment of the Young Master. Stay outside and listen to Her Highness' maid and Granny Fang for further instructions until I return.”

”As you command!”

After the four of them simultaneously called out in acknowledgement, they quickly dispersed around the yard and filled in the gaps between Fan Zhu Xia's own personal escorts.

With a nod of respect, Yi Ting Zhe excused himself and said he'll personally go and get the medicinal herbs while Granny Fang said that she'll go and send word to inform the general before they left with the promise to come back as soon as they were done.

Turning to her personal maid, Fan Zhu Xia just quietly ordered her and said, ”Chun Tao, guard the door and don't let anyone in without my permission.”

”Yes my lady...”

Without another word, Fan Zhu Xia went back inside and closed the door behind her.
