“Alright.” Wei Ruo didn’t say anything more.
While they were waiting for Physician Cheng, Wei Qingwan, who had just returned to the residence, also rushed to Cangyun Courtyard after hearing the news.
The moment she entered and saw Wei Mingting lying unconscious, her face turned pale as well, and she hurried to the bedside.
“Mother, how did Father end up like this?”
“Your father was severely wounded on the battlefield. The military physician said he cannot be cured anymore…” Yun Shi’s tears streamed down her face as her body trembled with worry.
“How could this happen? Father… he…” Wei Qingwan panicked, her voice beginning to shake.
She looked again at the figure on the bed, her eyes red.
Yun Shi didn’t know how to answer. She had always feared something like this might happen, yet she had also hoped it never would.
But now, it has happened.
The mother and daughter, not knowing what to do, held each other and wept in grief.
Before long, Physician Cheng arrived at Cangyun Courtyard, led in hurriedly by Jing Hu.
After taking Wei Mingting’s pulse, Physician Cheng’s expression grew grave.
“Physician Cheng, how is he?” Yun Shi asked anxiously, looking at him as though placing all her remaining hope in the elderly doctor before her.
He was already the best physician in the entire Taizhou Prefecture. If even he could not save her husband, she did not know what else she could do.
“Lord Wei is suffering from an old injury worsened by fresh wounds, and it is extremely critical. If I am not mistaken, Lord Wei was struck by an arrow several days ago. However, the wound only received simple treatment and bandaging, which caused it to fester,” Physician Cheng explained.
A deputy general standing nearby spoke up, “That’s right. LLord Wei had been struck by an arrow several days earlier. To avoid affecting morale, he concealed it from the men and insisted he was fine. Over the past few days he continued fighting alongside us, and none of us noticed anything unusual.”
“The wound is very deep—it pierced through his shoulder blade. He should have rested for at least two months. With treatment that simple, how could it possibly have healed so quickly?” Physician Cheng said with a sigh.
He then continued, “After that, Lord Wei suffered additional injuries, and these new wounds are also severe. Several vital areas were affected—his ribs are fractured, his spleen is ruptured, and the wounds on his shoulder and arm are all quite serious.”
“Physician Cheng, please save my husband!” Yun Shi pleaded hurriedly.
“Physician Cheng, I beg you! No matter how expensive the medicine or how much silver it costs, please save my Father!” Wei Qingwan cried through tears.
“I cannot say I have much confidence. Madam Wei and Miss Wei should prepare themselves mentally,” Physician Cheng replied honestly.
Hearing this, Yun Shi’s face turned pale, and her body went weak as she struggled to remain standing.
Fortunately, Mo mo Zhang and Cuiping supported her at once, preventing her from collapsing.
At that moment, it felt as though her entire world had collapsed.
Wei Qingwan was equally distraught, completely at a loss.
At this moment, Wei Ruo stepped forward and said to Physician Cheng, “Please do your best to save him. No matter the chances, something must be done.”
Hearing Wei Ruo’s voice, Physician Cheng showed a hint of surprise and looked at her more carefully.
Before he could finish looking her over, Wei Ruo continued, “Physician Cheng, if we are to save him, please tell me whatever you need first. I will have the servants prepare it.”
“Very well,” Physician Cheng said. “Please arrange for someone to start a fire and warm the room. I will soon need to remove the necrotic flesh from Lord Wei’s wound. Spring is still rather chilly, and he must not catch a chill during the procedure.”
Physician Cheng immediately began giving instructions.
