Chapter 2065: Chapter 47: Illness Strikes Like a Mountain

Wufu suddenly fell into a coma, which no one could have expected. After all, in the past few days, although she seemed weak, she was always fine. Everyone thought that as long as she was properly cared for, the once strong and resilient Princess Consort would return.

But now, everyone was wrong. It turns out the Princess Consort is just a person, not a god, and she too has moments when she completely collapses.

It wasn’t until Bai Xiaobai was dragged into Wufu’s room for treatment, barely alive, that Ah Jiu understood why she couldn’t wake up.

Because the string she had been holding tight finally loosened, the energy she had been forcing out slowly leaked away after confirming she and her son were completely safe.

When a person’s spirit and vigor are depleted, it’s like a full balloon suddenly losing air; naturally, it can’t stay inflated. Not to mention, she was already severely deficient in vital energy and blood, her entire being essentially just a shell. Recovery seems incredibly difficult.

"... In simple terms, the Princess Consort is like a ceramic cup, just a touch..." Bai Xiaobai lightly pushed the ceramic cup off the table, and it shattered with a crash.

Ah Jiu’s face turned ashen.

"Is there any way?"

"Acupuncture, adjustment." Bai Xiaobai opened his medical kit, forced himself to focus, took paper and pen, wrote a prescription, and instructed someone to get the medicine.

Ah Jiu sat dazed beside Wufu’s bed, watching as her cheeks sunk in, feeling she was even thinner than yesterday. An indescribable sadness arose in her heart, and tears welled up.

Gently holding her hand, Ah Jiu hesitated, it felt a bit cold. She held it with both hands, bringing it to her lips and kissed it, saying, "I know you’re tired. Just sleep a bit. You don’t have to worry about your son, I will take care of him. But you must promise me that, by the latest, you will wake up tomorrow, otherwise I won’t care for him."

Jadeite stood behind the curtain, turned away, wiped the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand, and sniffed.

"Steady yourself. Whole body acupuncture. If the wrong needle is administered, the Princess Consort won’t be able to bear it." Bai Xiaobai stood beside her, speaking solemnly, no longer joking as he usually did.

Jadeite nodded and walked in.

Whole body acupuncture requires removing all clothing. Bai Xiaobai, being male, couldn’t do it himself, so fortunately, there’s Jadeite. He said she would administer the needles, and the two of them worked together quite well.

Jadeite quickly broke out in a sweat, her initially poor condition worsening, her face increasingly pale, and her hands slightly trembling.

Acupuncture requires a great deal of spiritual power.

"Steady." Bai Xiaobai spoke gravely, hearing Jadeite’s breath slightly unsteady from behind the screen.

Jadeite said nothing, took a few deep breaths, and continued with the acupuncture.

Ah Jiu never left, watching with the naked eye as Wufu’s face became rosy, sweat beading on her forehead.

Yet there was still no movement.

After two Shichen Chinese Time, Jadeite withdrew the needles, and Ah Jiu couldn’t help but touch Wufu’s forehead: "So hot."

Jadeite checked as well, pulled over a thin quilt, covered Wufu’s body, and let Bai Xiaobai in.

Bai Xiaobai entered, slightly turned his body, and examined Wufu’s pulse. He said, "Her pulse shows some improvement. Use the physical cooling method the Princess Consort taught before to bring down the fever, and don’t leave her side. Keep watch at all times."

Jadeite called Lu Xiaodie in, demonstrated once, then had Lu Xiaodie with several calm maidservants perform the physical cooling on Wufu.

"When will she wake up?" Ah Jiu asked Bai Xiaobai.

"It depends on the Princess Consort herself. Illness strikes like an avalanche, waking up soon is best. Otherwise, it’s hard to administer the herbal medicine, relying only on acupuncture has minimal effect." Bai Xiaobai replied, "I’ll go research the prescription some more."
