Chapter 811: Rui Is Infected

Xi Ying was angry when Li Rui fell unconscious. He was angry at himself as he thought that he didn't take care of Rui well.

However, when he saw the old shifu who was checking Li Rui having a grim face, his heart was suddenly filled with fear.

Actually, he had felt it when he caught her when she just fell down.

Her body's temperature was high.

A few moments later, the old shifu stood up from the bed and walked to everyone who were standing inside the tent and said after a moment of silence.

"She has fever."

"She must have caught cold."

Xi Ying said immediately. As if he was trying to convince himself, he said again

"These days, she keeps throwing away the blanket at night. I might have slept deeply last night and didn't take care to put it on her again."

The old shifu's eyes flickered with empathy as he looked at Xi Ying.

It was true that he and his disciples had never cared for anyone else except them before. They only cared about learning more about medicines even if for that they had to jeopardize someone's health.

In other words, they took the advantage of someone else's helplessness and then used that person's body as a test object for their new medicinal potions.

However, he had felt very low after he had left Xi Manor.

He had pondered over Li Rui's words. But he had not realized anything. When he had heard that a new kind of disease had spread in Xin, he gathered his disciples and came here.

He wanted to see what special feeling a physician really felt if he worked without the aim of getting any self-gain.

And it was truly something extraordinary.

As he saw people who were fighting with the disease for their loved ones, he felt overwhelmed. He remembers how a husband had kneeled down in front of him with tears in his eyes when he had heard his wife had been cured.

The love and care of the people's hearts overwhelmed him. He could see the change in his disciples as well.

Living in that isolated valley, they had been away from all these human emotions that they experienced in the past few days.

He could also see that Xi Ying loved Li Rui and hence he felt sad when he saw Xi Ying like this. But he had to harden his heart and tell him

"Prime Minister Xi, her eyes are also red."

The tent seemed to go silent after the old shifu's words.

Yi Junjie's eyes were suddenly blank and his fists were clenched tightly.

Xi Ying's adam apple wobbled as he looked at Li Rui lying on the bed. Physician Yun who heard it didn't have a good face while Li Diu's eyes were red.

He licked his dry lips and said

"Nothing will happen. We have the cure now. There is no need to worry."

His words instantly calmed down many hearts.

Xi Ying nodded his head and looked at Physician Yun who nodded his head and immediately left the tent.

"It is wise if not many people would stay here. Lady Li would also not feel happy if anyone of us got infected."

It was Physician Xuan who spoke this time.

Everyone started to leave one by one.

Li Diu and Yi Junjie stayed.

Li Diu was unwilling to leave just like Yi Junjie but when Physician Yun came with medicine, he made Li Diu understand the situation.

Li Diu nodded his head with red eyes and grabbed Yi Junjie's arm to bring him out. Yi Junjie, however, threw his hand away and said

"You go out. I will stay here."

His eyes didn't move away from the woman lying on the bed. Xi Ying was now seated on the bed. He was making unconscious Li Rui drink the medicine brought by Physician Yun.

He heard Yi Junjie's words and glanced at him for a moment but didn't say anything.

Focusing on his wife, Xi Ying saw that the medicinal paste was falling out of her mouth. Physician Yun sighed and said

"It would be difficult if Lady Li will stay unconscious."

It was actually strange that she fell unconscious. No infected person fell unconscious before and hence they could at least take the medicine no matter how much pain in they were.

Xi Ying gave the bowl back to Physician Yun and wiped the medicinal paste from Li Rui's lips that had fallen out from his sleeve.

The next moment, he took the bowl from Physician Yun again and drank the whole medicine in one go.

Physician Yun was shocked and confused by his actions.

Just when he was wondering what Xi Ying was doing, he saw Xi Ying leaning down and covering Lady Li's lips with his own.

Physician Yun turned around immediately understanding that this was the only method to feed Lady Li the medicine.

However, the problem was that this way Xi Ying could also get infected.

"Prime Minister Xi, this is dangerous. You can get the disease by doing this."

He remind the young prime minister, however, he didn't hear anything and sighed helplessly.

On the other hand, Li Diu was equally shocked seeing this scene. He looked at Yi Junjie and his heart was filled with despair for his brother-like friend.

He was actually aware of Yi Junjie's feelings for his sister. It was from the moment when the latter had proposed to marry his sister.

However, now his sister was already married.

Though Xi Ying had not been good to his sister in the past, he could see that now the young prime minister really loved his sister.

"Junjie…she has someone else to take care of her. We will be here only. Whenever she would need us, we will always be here. But she already has someone else by her side for now."

Yi Junjie's head was now lowered. He swallowed and nodded his head. After that, he left the tent with Li Diu.

Inside the tent, Xi Ying made Li Rui lie down on the bed after she had drunk the medicinal paste.

Physician Yun took the bowl and went to make more medicine for the next few days with other physicians.

A few moments later, the old shifu with two or three disciples entered the tent.

They had a large bucket of water and they put it beside the bed. Xi Ying was stroking Li Rui's hair and glanced at the buckets.

Seeing his gaze, the old shifu said

"She must drink water at least four times in a shichen alone. It would help her in healing early."

Xi Ying nodded his head.

The old shifu looked at Li Rui and left silently with his disciples.

Xi Ying leaned down and looked at Li Rui's face closely.

"Liar…"

He whispered as he caressed her cheek while continuing.

"You said you won't let anything happen to yourself. You better get well early otherwise…I don't know what I will do."

Finishing his words, he took the glass and filled it with water.

Just like how he had done previously, he made her drink the water.
