Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart

The South Conquering General Mansion.

When Zhao Qian arrived, Chief Physician Lin had already re-treated and re-bandaged Chu Qi's wound.

However, Chu Qi had yet to wake up from his coma.

Zhao Qian walked over to check on Chu Qi. He was in bad shape—his face was pale and completely drained of color, and his lips were dry and chapped. Worried, Zhao Qian said, "How did he suddenly get this seriously injured?"

"According to my examination just now, he was stabbed rather deeply in the chest, and his depression and lack of rest only made the wound fester. I've treated and bandaged it all over again, so he should be fine." Chief Physician Lin then turned to Steward Chen. "Prepare the medicine according to my prescription and let the General take it as soon as possible."

"I'll see to it right away." Steward Chen left to prepare the medicine without wasting a moment.

Just then, Ji'er dashed into the room and straight to Chu Qi's bed.

"Third Princess?" Zhao Qian was taken aback.

Ji'er stood by the bed without a word, her face pale as she stared at the man lying on it. Realizing that his condition was worse than she had imagined, she clenched her fists.

Knowing that his wound had festered perturbed her even more.

"Lil Qi…" She gazed at the unconscious man, tears of guilt welling up in her eyes.

Sensing her distress, Chief Physician Lin quickly reassured her, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Chu Qi is all right."

Recovering her senses, Ji'er looked at Chief Physician Lin and asked beseechingly, "Really?"

Chief Physician Lin stroked his beard. "Yes. I may not be as skilled as the Empress, but I can still handle an injury like this. The previous physician didn't treat the wound properly, plus Chu Qi was depressed and fatigued, which was why his condition got worse. After he takes his medicine, his fever will subside, and his condition will stabilize."

The tension instantly left Ji'er's body.

"That's good to hear," she murmured, directing her gaze back to Chu Qi.

Zhao Qian coaxed her, "Since Lil Qi will be fine, why don't you return to your palace first, Your Highness?"

"You may leave first, Butler Zhao. I'll stay here for a while more," said Ji'er firmly.

Seeing how determined she was, Zhao Qian stopped persuading her and returned to the Emperor and Empress, who were still waiting for news.

After hearing his update, Long Yang decided to visit Chu Qi in the South Conquering General Mansion.

Knowing that Ji'er was still in the General Mansion too, Lu Liangwei followed him.

Long Yin and Yaoyao had nothing to do, so they tagged along as well.

None of them were ready for the shocking sight that was about to greet them the moment they stepped into the mansion.

Earlier on, Steward Chen had left to prepare the medicine according to Chief Physician Lin's instructions.

However, he was faced with a challenge when he tried to feed Chu Qi the medicine.

No matter how he tried, he could not get Chu Qi to drink the medicine in his unconscious state.

Chief Physician Lin was starting to get anxious too. "He's unconscious from the high fever, and his wound has festered too. If he doesn't drink the medicine, his fever won't go away, which will only make his condition worse."

Ji'er, who had been staying by the bed all this time, was in a state of agitation as well.

She tried to feed Chu Qi the medicine a few more times, but to no avail.

As she stared at the inky-black medicine in the bowl, an idea suddenly struck her.

Without hesitation, she picked up the bowl and took a mouthful of medicine.

Chief Physician Lin was startled to see her drink the medicine. Just when he was about to stop her from acting foolishly out of worry, she bent over and pressed her lips to Chu Qi's mouth.

Chief Physician Lin froze.

Steward Chen was stupefied as well.

Ji'er ignored their reactions. Her eyes lit up when she realized that her method was working, and she continued to feed Chu Qi the medicine by mouth, bit by bit.

This was the sight that Long Yang, Lu Liangwei, and their other two children stumbled upon the instant they walked into the room.

Lu Liangwei felt the world spin before her eyes, but Long Yang managed to catch her before she fell.
