Chapter 333 - Wei Zichao Feels Wronged (2/2)

Wei Zichao was speechless.

Perhaps because Mo Junyang did it too carefully and attentively, the other two couldn’t speak a word.

Shi Qingxue felt more embarrassed and murmured, “I…I am fine. Don’t worry about me.”

Mo Junyang looked up at her, with complaints and guilt in his eyes.

He complained about her as she didn’t care about herself.

And he felt guilty as he didn’t protect her well.

Shi Qingxue’s body got soft under his stare, and she didn’t know what to do. Even though her whole body was hot and her face almost burnt, she just obediently let Mo Junyang do anything for her.

Seeing that the couple displayed affection as if nobody else were here, Wei Zichao got impatient and couldn’t help but call again, “Master, I…”

Before Wei Zichao finished his words, Mo Junyang glared at him.

However, Wei Zichao was iron-willed this time and endured the “pain” as his body was dismembered by Mo Junyang’s eyes. He gritted his teeth and continued in one breath, “There was news from the capital just now. Duke Shi’s wife has a difficult labor and she is in deadly danger.”

“What?”

Shi Qingxue sprang from the chair instantly and felt dizzy. She almost couldn’t stand steadily.

Mo Junyang supported Shi Qingxue and calmly asked on behalf of her, “What’s going on? Tell me everything. Don’t say that it is so critical.”

He glared at Wei Zichao again. The master asked while threatening him with his eyes, “If you scare Qingxue, I will make you take the whole responsibility.”

The guard felt wronged.

This news was sent to him by the servants. They said that it was so critical, so what could he do?

Considering his life, Wei Zichao still tried his best to find some euphemisms. “Mr. Qu told somebody to send this news. He said that Duke Shi’s wife was poisoned and had fetal movements in advance. The situation is emergent. Mr. Qu asked you to return to the capital at once.”

It was the same matter, but after he polished it, it was more acceptable than the shocking news obviously.

Mo Junyang supported Shi Qingxue and then reminded her in a soft voice, “Qingxue, don’t worry. Shen Luo is in the capital, and your mother will be fine.”

Shen Luo was always praised as a miracle-working doctor and could bring a patient back to life. He was quite capable.

At this thought, Shi Qingxue felt a lot relieved, yet she still grasped Mo Junyang’s hand anxiously and said, “Let’s go back to the capital.”

Mo Junyang stared at Shi Qingxue deeply and agreed. “Okay, I will take you back to the capital.”

They were in a hurry this time, so Mo Junyang gave up the carriage and immediately told Wei Zichao to prepare horses. He would take Shi Qingxue back first, and the others in the family temple would return to the capital after the people came to send a message and pack up everything here.

Wei Zichao did everything. He was a bodyguard of Mo Junyang, so he would naturally go back to the capital with the master, but then he would part with Dong Shuang.

The leader of guards who was always decisive hesitated for the first time, but after only a short while, he returned reserved and didn’t say anything. Then he followed the master silently down the mountain on horseback.

Shi Qingxue wasn’t skilled in horsemanship, and she was restless, so Mo Junyang wouldn’t feel relieved to let her ride a horse alone.

Fortunately, Mo Junyang’s horse was a ferghana horse, one in a million in Mo Country, and it was not hard for this horse to carry two people. It ran as quickly as Wei Zichao’s horse.

They were on the journey for one day and night almost without a stop and finally returned to Duke Shi’s mansion.

Shi Qingxue finally knew that there were signs that Dong Hui would have a premature birth a few days ago, but the doctors in the mansion just thought that it was because of her health, so they didn’t take it seriously as no amniotic fluid came out. They just told her to rest quietly and didn’t find that she was poisoned.

One afternoon, the lower part of Dong Hui’s body bled profusely all of a sudden, which shocked everybody. When the doctors in the mansion and the imperial doctors didn’t know what to do, Qu Yuebai sent Shen Luo here.

Shen Luo found that Dong Hui was poisoned at a glance, and the poison was strong and put skillfully. Because she was pregnant, she couldn’t be detoxified, and it might harm the baby.

The best way was to save the mother and give up the baby.

In fact, Shi Junhe told Shen Luo to do so.

However, after Dong Hui heard that even if she was detoxified, she might not be able to get pregnant again in the future, she disagreed and didn’t allow Shen Luo to kill her baby.

Shen Luo was a miracle-working doctor, yet he could do nothing as the patient didn’t listen to him.

They argued several times, and it was delayed. Shen Luo had no choice but to prescribe some medicine, trying to relieve the poison in Dong Hui’s body, and then he quietly waited for the amniotic fluid to come out.

Only after the amniotic fluid came out could Dong Hui and the baby in her womb have a chance of survival.

As a result, after Shi Qingxue and the others returned to the mansion in a rush, Dong Hui hadn’t given birth or been detoxified.

Shi Qingxue was so anxious that she could do nothing. She asked Shen Luo all the questions that she could ask, and he answered all of them. In the end, he sighed helplessly. “Your mother is stubborn. She would rather die with the baby than let me kill it. I really…”

Shen Luo looked hesitant.

He had seen some women who would give birth to a baby at the risk of their lives, but generally they were new mothers or had no right to speak as the mother-in-law or husband demanded.

So he couldn’t understand why Dong Hui still insisted on giving birth to the baby even though she had two daughters and her husband and all the others asked him to save her and give up the baby.

Dong Hui even ignored the fact that the baby might be an idiot or monster after it was born because she was poisoned. She just wanted the baby in her womb.

When Shi Qingxue heard Shen Luo sighing sadly, she couldn’t stop the tears falling from her eyes and covering her face.

Mo Junyang supported Shi Qingxue from behind and comforted her in silence.

Seeing that Shen Luo looked at him, he said, “Since she wants to keep the baby so much, just keep it for her. Aren’t you a miracle-working doctor? Can’t you do such an easy job?”

Shen Luo was speechless.

The miracle-working doctor wanted to slap Mo Junyang with the words “such an easy job” and then say ferociously, “If you are capable, just do it.”

However, before he started, a midwife in the room suddenly shouted, “The amniotic fluid comes out.”
