473 Strange Condition
Madam Xu was already scared out of her wits. This had occurred suddenly, and she didn’t know how it happened.
Her eyes reddened. “He’s never coughed up blood before. This is the first time. The doctor came to take a look, but he couldn’t find the cause of the illness. He said that he might have been possessed…”
Xu Yue frowned. “Young Master Xu’s illness is indeed abnormal, but I don’t sense any evil techniques being cast on him.”
No matter what, it was impossible for a person to suddenly be on the verge of death. Although Xu Lin was weak, he did not look like he would die early.
His illness was more like some kind of power that suddenly wanted to take his life. However, it was unable to do so.
His internal organs were failing, and he was only left with one last breath. Xu Yue didn’t speak the truth because he didn’t understand what was going on either.
Madam Xu’s eyes were filled with worry. “Then, what can I do to save my son? Please show me the way.”
Other than praying for her son to live, she didn’t know what to do. As long as her son was alive, she was willing to do anything.
The Imperial Physician also arrived very quickly. When he saw Xu Yue, he nodded slightly at him and went forward to take Xu Lin’s pulse. When he checked his pulse, he also frowned tightly. His expression was complicated and he did not know how to put it.
After a while, the imperial physician stood up and said, “Madam Xu, Young Master Xu’s pulse is complicated and dangerous. I’ve been a doctor for many years, but I’ve never seen this illness before. It’s really strange!”
Xu Lin’s face turned pale. “I feel like something is tearing me apart. Can I still be saved? State Minister?”
Others might not be able to understand what he was experiencing, but he did. Just as Xu Yue had said, there seemed to be a power absorbing his life force to kill him, but there was also a force keeping him alive.
This feeling was very painful.
Xu Yue looked at Xu Lin, trying to sense something unusual from him, but he could not feel anything. He wanted to tell him that he was going to die, but he could not bring himself to say it.
Xu Lin’s life force was slowly fading. Everything was abnormal. He suddenly thought of Liu Sanniang. The world was so big that there were all kinds of strange things. Just because he could not see clearly did not mean that it did not exist.
Xu Yue said, “Your situation is abnormal. I can’t save you, but there’s someone who can.”
Madam Xu’s eyes, which were filled with despair, lit up. She looked at Xu Yue and hurriedly asked. “Who can save my son? Please tell me.”
Xu Yue frowned and said, “Miss Liu… Liu Sanniang. She lives in a small courtyard by the city. Madam, please go and invite her over. I’ll stay here and watch Young Master Xu till then. In a critical moment, I’ll keep Young Master Xu alive until you come back.”
After Xu Yue finished speaking, he felt much more relieved. He looked at Madam Xu and said firmly, “Madam, go quickly. Young Master Xu is in danger now. The more you delay, the more dangerous it will be.”
Madam Xu didn’t even have time to express her gratitude. She immediately dashed out. Without bothering to wipe her tears, she instructed the coachman to drive.
Xu Yue stayed by Xu Lin’s bedside and kept a close watch on him.
He still couldn’t understand what was happening to Xu Lin. If there was an evil technique, then there must be something strange about Xu Lin’s body, but there wasn’t.
Xu Yue had a strong intuition that this was not normal.
Seeing that Xu Lin was about to cough up blood again, he hurriedly grabbed his hand and injected a pure and thick steam of power into him.
Xu Lin thanked him gratefully. “Thank you for saving my life, State Minister.”
Xu Yue shook his head. “You don’t have to thank me. I only want an answer.”
If it was in the past, he would have long come to a conclusion that Xu Lin was suffering a critical illness and that his life was ending. But now, he couldn’t bring himself to say this because he knew there was so much he didn’t understand.
Truthfully, Xu Yue did not like Liu Sanniang, but he also wanted to know if she could see through the reason behind this abnormality.
Xu Yue’s thoughts were a mess. He felt that Liu Sanniang was the biggest obstacle in his life. If he could not pass this obstacle, his cultivation would never ascend to a new height.
It was almost dawn outside. A carriage stopped in front of a courtyard. Madam Xu alighted from the carriage. After confirming the address was right, she went forward to knock on the door.
The door opened quickly. Chu Yan’s expression was calm and his tone was indifferent. “Wait a moment.”
Madam Xu was burning with anxiety. Just as she was about to say that she had a request to make, Chu Yan beat her to it.
Liu Sanniang came out quickly. She looked at Madam Xu and said, “Let’s go.”
Only then did Madam Xu say, “I… I’m looking for Miss Liu. You…”
Liu Sanniang replied with a faint smile. “I’m Liu Sanniang.”
Madam Xu was shocked. The Miss Liu that Xu Yue mentioned was actually so young?
Madam Xu couldn’t care less. She grabbed Liu Sanniang’s hand and said, “Miss, please save my son. No matter what you ask, I’ll agree to it.”
Liu Sanniang nodded. “Alright.”
When Yuan Hui came to find Liu Sanniang, she knew that Yuan Hui was a source of evil. The opportunity had yet to appear. She was also prepared to go to Duke Xu’s Mansion to see what the demon was.
However, after seeing Madam Xu, Liu Sanniang understood that the opportunity to eliminate Yuan Hui was on Madam Xu.
Madam Xu was overjoyed and quickly invited Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan into the carriage.
When they reached Duke Xu’s Mansion, the sky was already bright.
After getting out of the carriage, Madam Xu led Liu Sanniang into the mansion in a state of extreme panic. She walked very quickly. Fortunately, Liu Sanniang could keep up.
When they arrived at the main courtyard, Madam Xu rushed to the bedside after entering the room. When she saw that Xu Lin was still alive, she heaved a sigh of relief and fell onto the bed, as if all the strength in her body had been used up.
Xu Yue looked at Liu Sanniang and said, “Miss Liu, Young Master Xu’s strange illness has suddenly erupted and his life is at stake. I can’t see anything abnormal. Please take a look at him.”
