Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 900: Chapter 900: Do as one pleases_1

Xiachu seriously envisioned the situation Gufeng had described in her mind.

The person she cared most about was naturally the Seventh Miss.

If the Seventh Miss was going to be beaten to death, could she possibly just stand by without even glancing?

Was that possible?

She would step in front of the Seventh Miss, taking the hits for her.

Of course, she could not remain indifferent.

Even if the Crown Prince didn’t care for Concubine Li, after all, Concubine Li was his woman. Not to mention a living person, even a pet cat or dog would have gained his affection over these years, wouldn’t it?

The Crown Prince is indeed a cruel man.

At this moment, Imperial Physician Dong came out carrying his medicine box.

Jiang Ning quickly approached him: “Master Dong, how is the situation inside?”

Xiachu was even more anxious.

The Crown Prince had said, if Concubine Li were to suffer in any way, the Princess Consort would be held accountable.

“Is Concubine Li still alive?” she asked.

Gufeng leisurely responded, “Xiachu, huh, the Seventh Miss and Huang Ying praised you for your maturity, but could you afford to ask such a question?”

Xiachu quickly bowed her head: “The servant spoke out of turn.”

Jiang Ning ignored her, turning to Imperial Physician Dong: “Master Dong, tell us the truth.”

Imperial Physician Dong quickly replied: “Responding to the Princess Consort, although Concubine Li’s condition is critical, her life has been preserved for now. The wound is on her head, she is still unconscious, there is likely internal bleeding.”

Indeed the situation was grave.

Jiang Ning glanced at Princess Ling’an, then asked, “And what can be done about the internal bleeding?”

There were no surgical options in ancient times.

Imperial Physician Dong thought for a moment: “I will prepare some medicine, after Concubine Li has taken it, it would depend on her subsequent condition. If the blood clot can be gradually absorbed, there should be no significant harm. Otherwise…”

“Feel free to continue.”

“At best, she may lose some abilities, at worst… she may never wake up.”

“You mean, she might end up in a vegetative state?”

“Vegetative state… you can say that.” Imperial Physician Dong felt strangely appropriate to use this term in describing the patient’s condition from the Princess Consort’s mouth, he was quietly surprised.

Why hadn’t he thought of this term in all his years of medical practice?

Forever unconscious, but still alive.

Isn’t that just a plant?

Worry emerged in the contours of Jiang Ning’s eyebrows: “You mentioned a loss of abilities at best, does that mean, even in the best case where she wakes up, there will be aftereffects, such as… paralysis?”

“What the Princess Consort said is correct, it’s indeed as such. However, it’s also possible that she might recover quite well,” Imperial Physician Dong said, bowing his head. “Right now, all of this is uncertain, we can only do our best and let fate decide. If she wakes up tonight, her condition will be much better.”

Jiang Ning said: “I heard that in such a situation, acupuncture might be more effective, is Imperial Physician Dong not willing to try it?”

“It’s worth considering, but with Concubine Li’s condition, we have to wait for her to regain consciousness first.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble Master Dong to prepare the medicine.”

After the medicine was prepared, the problem of how to administer it arose.

Concubine Li was unconscious, unaware of what’s happening around her, the palace maids could only use a small spoon to feed her, little by little.

Jin Man was also rushed over because of the news, she was startled and afraid on seeing Li Yuanyuan’s condition, she sat on the bedside, weeping.

Jiang Ning walked out, glaring at Princess Ling’an: “If Concubine Li doesn’t wake up, you’re done.”

“It would be best if she dies.”

Princess Ling’an showed indifference.

Jiang Ning, disgusted, said: “You malicious woman. I really don’t know how your family raised you. Don’t think that just because of your family’s status, you can do whatever you want in the East Palace.”
