Li Yuan lost her appetite, shook her head and asked: "Aunt Lin, what's going on with Jiaojiao? Has she seen a doctor about her illness? What did the doctor say? Also, how long has she been sick? Why didn't she send a letter to the capital? ?”
As soon as Li Yuan finished asking, before Lin could answer, there was another hurried knock on the door.
When she got up and walked to the door of the room, she was stunned there.
Upon seeing this, Li Yuan stood up and walked over. When she saw Ying Lei appearing in the courtyard, she couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
What's going on? He didn't take his mother's ashes, his grandfather, and an old servant to Dongfeng Mansion to take up his post. How could he be here?
Ying Lei frowned, his eyes full of anxiety.
He nodded towards the two of them, then looked at Mrs. Lin and asked hoarsely, "Auntie, where is Jiaojiao?"
Lin subconsciously turned sideways, and Ying Lei nodded and shouted: "Grandpa!"
Doctor Xue walked in from the carriage carrying a medicine box on his back.
When Li Yuan saw this, her eyes lit up, she hurried back to the room and opened the door.
Ying Lei walked to the door of the room, paused, then pursed his lips into a straight line, remained silent for a while, and said to Doctor Xue: "Grandpa, please!"
Doctor Xue felt sorry for his grandson. He didn't know the situation and couldn't guarantee it, so he could only nod and step in.
Li Yuan stood not far behind him, watching him examine Yan Jiao, and secretly prayed in her heart that Jiao Jiao would be safe.
But as the examination lasted longer and longer, her heart began to beat.
He took his pulse for so long that he didn't even know how many times he had taken his pulse while turning his hands.
Is there really nothing we can do?
While she was thinking about it, Doctor Xue had already finished the examination.
Mrs. Lin stared at him closely, wanting to ask but not daring.
As a doctor, Dr. Xue has seen a lot of life and death, and he has already seen through these things.
He did not hide anything, but said frankly: "The patient's heart disease was caused by overthinking. I think he must have vomited a lot of blood before coming, which damaged his roots."
Mrs. Lin was shocked. She had no idea about Jiaojiao vomiting blood. Also, she was so good, so why was she overthinking it?
Li Yuan just wanted to know what she cared about, so she hurriedly asked: "Doctor Xue, can Jiaojiao be raised like this now?"
Doctor Xue and Ying Lei came to Beijing with Li Yuan and the others before, and knew about her relationship with Yan Jiao.
He didn't think there was anything he couldn't say, so he immediately shook his head.
"It's too late. If it had been a month earlier, there might have been a chance. But now, she has no desire to live and has run out of fuel. At most, it will last only three to five days."
This was a clear time given by a wise doctor. After hearing this, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but break down and cry.
As for Li Yuan, she didn't believe it at all. She had just been fed some spiritual spring water, and Jiaojiao's complexion looked better.
Why is it only three or five days?
Could it be that if she didn't feed her, she wouldn't be able to survive for even three to five days and might die today?
Just when Li Yuan was thinking about whether to continue feeding Lingquan water, Ying Lei, who was initially hesitant, walked in directly after hearing the sound.
He never showed much emotion, but the sadness in his eyes could not be erased.
"Grandpa, is there really nothing we can do?"
His grandfather's medical skills were among the best even in the Imperial Hospital.
If even he couldn't do anything, it might really be like this.
Doctor Xue shook his head: "No! Every extra day she lives now is torture for her. She no longer wants to live!"
Although he didn't know why a young girl would have such thoughts, the facts were before him.
Even if he has miraculous medicines, it won't do anything. He can't change what is destined!
Ying Lei lowered his eyes, then without any scruples, he sat directly on the edge of the bed, held Yan Jiao's hand, and looked at her longingly.
Li Yuan wanted to say something, but felt that it was inappropriate to say anything.
Lin's heart was full of regrets. She felt that she should not have stopped Jiaojiao in the first place, but should have let Jiaojiao go.
In this way, she lives an unhappy life, but at least she is still alive.
The doctor said she was overthinking. Isn't that what he was referring to?
She has been unhappy since she arrived here from Xinyang Mansion, and she can count the number of smiles on one hand.
Just when Li Yuan was thinking about whether to go out first and go back to Lijia'ao with her brother Xie before coming back, she heard Ying Lei speak.
"Grandpa, I want to marry Jiaojiao!"
After finishing speaking, he said to Mrs. Lin, "Auntie, I want to marry Jiaojiao."
Doctor Xue knew that his grandson was suffering in his heart, and also knew that he wanted to use his own identity, so he nodded and remained silent.
Mrs. Lin's eyes widened and she stood there blankly, not knowing what to say.
After a while, her voice trembled: "Young Master Ying, Jiaojiao, she..."
Ying Lei interrupted her directly: "I know, and it's precisely because I know that I can't call her or myself, leaving no regrets."
As he spoke, he reached out and touched Yan Jiao's facial features. What he recalled in his mind was the two of them meeting and getting along in Juren Alley, as well as every detail of their last meeting.
He knew he had a crush on her, and so did she.
It was only because of her family background and because her temperament was not suitable for living in that environment that she had to pretend not to care and separate.
However, he never imagined that since he was a dead person in the palace, he would have to live in someone else's identity from now on, so he wanted to come and see her before he officially took office, just as a farewell.
Who knew that this would be the result.
Since she is going to die, then he will marry her, and he will marry her as Ying Lei, and no one will have any regrets!
Lin wanted to say something else, but Ying Lei didn't say anything. Doctor Xue saw his appearance and went out with the medicine box.
Since you are getting married, you have to prepare everything that needs to be prepared.
Three days was a bit rushed, but it was just a ceremony, so it should be okay.
Thinking of this, the old man was standing in the courtyard, wanting to say something to Mrs. Lin, when he saw Li Yuan pulling Mrs. Lin to the side, muttering something unknown.
Mrs. Lin felt that her brain was a little insufficient, especially when she found out that Ying Lei was the legitimate son of King Anlin, that is, a king with a different surname.
When he found out that everything his family had done to him, and that he was now a dead man just a few days after becoming a Jinshi, he felt very angry.
She couldn't understand that they were both sons. This child was born to his first wife who had saved his life. How could he be treated like this?
Those who don’t know, think of him as an enemy.
Regardless of whether she was angry or felt sorry for Ying Lei, after hearing Li Yuan explain the cause and effect, she agreed to the marriage.
Just think of it as a "yin" kiss.
If you marry a wife, you will be widowed, but he is him and he is not him. After all, to the outside world, Ying Lei is already dead!
And Jiaojiao, it was probably her wish to marry him before she died.
Perhaps it was because of his current special situation that Jiaojiao had this opportunity.
If he still has his own identity, then no matter what he says today, he is the legitimate son of King Anlin, a Jinshi, and an official of the imperial court in the future.
It is an existence that Jiao Jiao looks up to and cannot reach!
