Chapter 71: No visitor will be received

In order to further confirm whether the owner of this shoe was his daughter, Si Chaoqun forgot about looking for food and chased Qi Mohan in the direction where he disappeared.

Qi Mohan used a Qing Gong and reached the extreme speed. Si Chaoqun didn’t even know which direction to go when there was an intersection ahead of him, not to mention catching up with him.

Just when Si Chaoqun was confused, Han Yi and others who had been chasing Qi Mohan all the way arrived here.

Si Chaoqun was dressed as an ordinary person and didn’t attract the attention of the group of people.

The people headed by Han Yi were arriving at Prince Rong’s Mansion at this moment, and their speed had gradually slowed down.

He breathlessly muttered: “I’m afraid His Highness Prince Rong’s Qinggong will never be as good as mine. His feet are injured, and he’s holding a woman in his arms, but he is still faster than us who are relaxed.”

“It seems that we brothers have to continue to work hard so as not to be left too behind by our master.”

“……”

Si Chaoqun could no longer listen to what those people behind him said. Judging from the content of the first person’s speech, he was already sure that the tall and thin figure that just passed by was undoubtedly His Highness Prince Rong.

In this case, he was certain that the woman wearing her daughter’s shoes also went to Prince Rong’s Mansion.

Without any doubt, Si Chaoqun quickly ran in the direction of Prince Rong’s Mansion according to the original owner’s memory.

At this time, Qi Mohan finally arrived at Prince Rong’s Mansion. He thought that over at Suolan Lake, Prince Heng, and Prince Jin were still leading people to capture the millennium clam. If they didn’t succeed today, they would rest here at night.

In order not to let those two disturb him, he ordered the guard in front of the door: “This prince is busy with important matters now, and I will not receive any visitors. If Prince Heng and Prince Jin arrive, you arrange for them to rest in the guest house.”

After the explanation was clear, Qi Mohan hugged Si Si and ran to the backyard.

Originally, he wanted to place Si Si next to his yard, but considering that his mother and the two little ones were also concerned about her safety, Qi Mohan simply took Si Si to the two little kids’ room.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Qi Mohan ordered the maid who was guarding there: “Quickly go and ask the doctor to come over.”

The maid saw Qi Mohan coming back in the rain with a girl in his arms and thought that after she left, the two of them would get together to discuss the identity of this girl, who was actually being cared for by the prince in such a small way.

As a result, the prince ordered them to call the doctor immediately. The maid could only suppress her curiosity for the time being and quickly ran out to ask for help.

Qi Mohan carried Si Si to the door of the two little kids’ room, and knocked on the door open with his knees: “Mother, make the bed quickly, Si Si is injured and unconscious.”

Imperial Concubine Yun was comforting her two little kids when the door to her room was suddenly pushed open. She was stunned for a moment, and then she heard her son mention Si Si’s name.

When she turned her gaze to the door, she saw that Qi Mohan was wet all over his body, as if he had just been fished out of the water. In his arms, he held tightly an unconscious girl with her eyes closed.

Take a closer look, isn’t this none other than Si Si?

Her normally lively eyes were closed tightly and lifeless at the moment, and her originally rosy cheeks had become as pale as paper, making people feel pity and worry.

Imperial Concubine Yun didn’t care to ask too many questions and immediately got up and tidied the two little kids’ beds: “Mohan, quickly, put Si Si on the bed.”

Qi Mohan carried Si Si to the bed and gently put her on it.

At this time, the two little kids were completely stunned. They stared at Si Si and still couldn’t believe their eyes.

In the end, it was Xiao Mujin who responded first and was about to throw herself at Si Si with tears in her eyes: “Sister…sister…”

As a result, before she could run to the bed, he was grabbed by Qi Mohan.

“Your sister is injured and unconscious. Don’t disturb her yet.”

The two little kids were very sensible and loved their sister from the bottom of their hearts. After hearing what their uncle said, even though they were anxious, they didn’t move forward anymore. They just stood there silently and stared at Si Si.

Imperial Concubine Yun also suppressed her urge to ask questions and quickly called her maid to get a set of dry clothes for Si Si to change into.

At the same time, she was urging Qi Mohan to immediately change his clothes which were still dripping.

Si Si seemed to have lost her soul at this time, lying unconsciously on the antique bed.

She closed her eyes tightly, and her pink cheeks became extremely pale at this moment, without a trace of blood, as if her life force had been drained away.

There was deathly silence in the room, and only the slight sound of breathing proved that she was still alive. The whole situation made everyone present feel uneasy.

At this time, the doctor also came over with a medicine box.

Imperial Concubine Yun pulled the two little kids out of the way of the bed and asked the doctor to check Si Si first.

After all, this was ancient times, and men and women must abide by the rules of self-defense. When the doctor examined Si Si, he only checked her pulse. As for the wounds on her body, he told Qi Mohan orally.

After the doctor checked Si Si’s pulse, he stood up with a sigh and saluted Qi Mohan and Princess Yun:

“Your Highness, Your Majesty, this girl must have been weak because she didn’t have a good rest. In addition, her body was injured, and she was exposed to the rain, which caused her high fever to persist.”

Imperial Concubine Yun anxiously ordered: “Since the symptoms have been detected, please ask the government doctor to prescribe medicine to treat her first!”

“This…” The doctor hesitated for a moment and said something unspeakable: “The Imperial Concubine must have forgotten that there has been a drought for more than 2 years. Let alone our Qiushui City, I am afraid that commonly used herbal medicines are not available in the capital now.”

After hearing what the doctor said, Imperial Concubine Yun realized the seriousness of this problem.

“Isn’t there any other way?” Imperial Concubine Yun also knew the situation of the entire Daqi Kingdom after a severe drought for more than two years.

Take Qiushui City as an example, guarding the contiguous land, there used to be countless medicinal herbs, and many people who knew medicinal herbs relied on collecting medicinal herbs to make a living.

Since the drought started, especially in the past year, it can be said that it has reached the point where no grass can grow. What was stored in the original medicinal shop has been used to relieve the people in the past two years. Where? What other medicinal materials will be kept?

Even if they were available, they might not affect Si Si’s symptoms at all.

Qi Mohan on the side was also at a loss. The best place to seek medicine at the moment was the two imperial brothers.

Prince Heng and Prince Jin did not support the people during disasters unlike him, so they must have some commonly used herbs.

Now he felt angry that he was too hasty when he left Suolanjian and didn’t ask those two for some medicine.

He was alright now, but Si Si was here with a high fever but no medicine.

The doctor shook his head helplessly at Qi Mohan and Imperial Concubine Yun: “There are only some medicines left here to treat injuries. As for the rest, there is nothing this old man can do.”

As he spoke, the doctor’s eyes fell on Qi Mohan’s injured foot.
