Fu Cheng screamed repeatedly as a sharp pain woke him up.
This time, it hurt even more.
Fu Shun also noticed this, and the grown man was on the verge of tears. "Father, did I hit Cheng'er's head too hard earlier, making his pain worse?"
Fu Cheng hadn't screamed so terribly before.
Fortunately, they had already wrapped him tightly in a quilt and tied him up, otherwise, Fu Cheng might have been unable to stop himself from self-harming.
In such agony, he had already lost his mind.
Physician Fu's face was pale.
"You also knew you hit him hard!"
Even so, he felt that it wasn't entirely due to the blow. It was highly likely that their crude use of external force "cut off" Fu Cheng's outlet for the pain, so when he woke up, the pain erupted even more severely.
"We can't knock him out again," Physician Fu murmured.
"Oh, heavens, my Cheng'er is such a good child. He hasn't done anything wicked, so why must he suffer such agony?" Old Madam Fu couldn't stand anymore and sat on the side, wiping away tears and crying out.
Madam Fu sat by the bed, watching her son in such pain, yet not daring to touch him, crying until she almost fainted.
The sight of the two women in such a state made Physician Fu and his son feel as if their hearts were burning.
"It hurts so much, Grandfather, I hurt so much..."
For a moment, Fu Cheng regained consciousness, crying out this sentence to Physician Fu.
Physician Fu's old tears instantly streamed down.
"Old Master, Miss Lu is here!" A servant shouted urgently.
Physician Fu was startled. "Quick, quickly invite her in!"
Lu Zhaoling entered the room with Qing Yin and Qing Bao.
The Fu family members all looked at her at the same time.
Upon seeing Lu Zhaoling's appearance, their expressions changed simultaneously, and what they thought was—
This injured, frail girl, can she save Cheng'er? What a joke!!!
"Miss Lu, my grandson is over here!" Physician Fu called out.
Lu Zhaoling ignored the others, first placing the root carving wrapped in black cloth on the floor before walking to the bed.
On the bed, a young man was tied up, only his head visible.
He was drenched in sweat, his face as pale as paper, his lips bitten and bleeding, his eyes bloodshot, and his breathing erratic and rapid.
Even tied up like a dumpling, one could still feel him trembling; it wasn't from cold, but from pain.
In Lu Zhaoling's eyes, Fu Cheng's head was almost enveloped by a thick black aura.
And within that black aura, faint wisps of bloody red could be seen.
"Such heavy death qi," she sighed.
"Miss Lu, can you save him?" Physician Fu trembled upon hearing her words.
"Father, this..."
Fu Shun truly couldn't believe Lu Zhaoling could save his son, and hearing her words, he only found it utterly absurd.
What death qi!
Talking about such spooky things instead of treating the illness!
"Shut up," Physician Fu immediately reprimanded him. Was this the time to introduce Miss Lu to him?
Lu Zhaoling extended a finger and poked Fu Cheng's forehead.
The action looked a bit too—
Not serious.
"What are you doing?!" Madam Fu shrieked, swinging her hand to swat away Lu Zhaoling.
Lu Zhaoling withdrew her hand in time, or she truly would have been hit.
Physician Fu's face changed dramatically. "Cheng'er's mother, what are you doing!"
Was Yao Lin trying to die? How dare she lay a hand on Miss Lu!
Madam Fu, Yao Lin, was startled by her father-in-law's loud yell.
She opened her red and swollen eyes. "Father, she, how can she poke Cheng'er's forehead at a time like this? Cheng'er already has a headache, and even a light touch makes him unbearable. She's still poking him with her finger!"
She was also just heartbroken for her son.
"Miss Lu is here to save Cheng'er!" Physician Fu was so angry his heart ached. "All of you, step back, don't get in the way here!"
Seeing his daughter-in-law about to speak again, he stamped his foot. "Yao Shi! I am Cheng'er's grandfather, would I harm him?!"
He even called her Yao Shi.
Fu Shun pulled his wife back, taking a deep breath. "Father, you've always doted on Cheng'er, we'll listen to you."
Although he didn't believe the young girl in front of him, he could only believe his father!
"Miss Lu, please don't mind them. They're just too anxious and lost their composure," Physician Fu said, worried that Lu Zhaoling would get angry and wash her hands of the matter.
Lu Zhaoling didn't seem to mind.
It was understandable for parents to be anxious and heartbroken when their son was suffering such torment.
Besides, she wasn't hit just now, was she? If she had been, that would be another matter.
"He's been in contact with that root carving for a longer time and has absorbed too much death qi. Physician Fu, where's the jade you prepared?"
Before Physician Fu left, Lu Zhaoling had told him to go home and prepare some jade, preferably a lot.
"Here!"
Physician Fu first pointed to a jade pillow at the head of the bed. "Miss Lu, this is the largest one. It's my jade pillow that I've used for ten years. Do you think this will work?"
"If not, there are these too." He turned and took a tray, placing it on the bed, on which lay several jade pendants and a few jade ornaments.
"Need jade? My pair of jade bracelets can also be used." Old Madam Fu, trembling, took off the pair of jade bracelets from her wrist.
Lu Zhaoling turned to look at her jade bracelets.
"Pure imperial green, high-ice type," Lu Zhaoling smiled. "Old Madam, this pair of jade bracelets is very good, but it's not necessary. Once I use them, the jade will be废, it would be a bit wasteful."
She looked at the jade pillow, then glanced at Physician Fu. "This jade pillow is suitable. Physician Fu, you should also change your pillow. This jade pillow is too high. Haven't you noticed your neck always aches after using it for ten years?"
Physician Fu was stunned for a moment.
So his constant neck and shoulder pain was related to this jade pillow?
"I'll listen to Miss Lu," he immediately said, changing to a lower pillow.
Lu Zhaoling hummed softly and placed the jade pillow next to Fu Cheng's head.
"Untie him now. He's tied too tightly, his blood circulation is poor throughout his body."
"Can't untie him, he'll hurt himself," Fu Shun quickly cried out. "He might also hurt you. Cheng'er is in too much pain to control himself."
As if to prove his words, Fu Cheng screamed again, heartbreakingly, and struggled desperately.
"Untie him."
Lu Zhaoling acted as if she hadn't heard him.
Physician Fu gritted his teeth and personally untied the quilt.
"Father!" Fu Shun couldn't help but rush forward to stop him this time.
Lu Zhaoling gently pushed him with one hand, and though the movement seemed light, Fu Shun felt as if he had run into a wave of qi, staggering back three steps and almost falling to the ground.
He looked at Lu Zhaoling in horror.
"If you can't be quiet and cause no trouble, then leave," Lu Zhaoling swept her gaze over them, her voice imbued with authority.
Physician Fu had already untied Fu Cheng.
"Ah"
The moment he was untied, Fu Cheng violently swung his hand, aiming to hit his own head.
His head felt like it was going to explode!
Lu Zhaoling caught his arm and patted his chest with her other hand.
"Be a good boy."
