Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Snatch Her Back No Matter What
The servant girl lifted the screen, and Xiang Ying strode inside.
The air inside the room was thick and foul-smelling. A family retainer had just cleared away a puddle of vomit and carried it out past Xiang Ying.
She slightly furrowed her brows.
The entire room was covered with heavy curtains.
Lying on the bed was the City Garrison Commander, Mr. Li, pale and gaunt.
The torment of many days had left him so emaciated he hardly looked human.
The bedside was surrounded by attendant servants, and on the ground knelt a doctor.
Mr. Li’s eyes were like two emotionless pebbles.
He looked towards Xiang Ying with a somber gaze and said, “Ever since this official arrived in West Zhou, I’ve been stricken with this strange illness.”
“I heard you are the elder princess of West Zhou. Fine, Zhao Yushi is one of your West Zhou people; she killed this official’s young son with her treatment, and now she can’t even cure this official’s illness. Since you are the elder princess, you cure this official’s illness then!”
“But remember, if you can’t cure it, you and Zhao Yushi at the door will share the same fate.”
Xiang Ying stepped forward, eyes lowered, with a steady tone of voice.
“I dare not treat the official.”
“Why not?”
“The drug primer is unclean; I fear the official won’t dare to take it.”
What do you think?
