Chapter 1982
Not a Noble Consort 3
Liu Qingya called out, "Third brother, come quickly!"
Only the third brother in their family knows medicine. This person is covered in blood; they don't know if he can be saved.
It would be a shame if she died, she's so beautiful.
Liu Tong stepped forward to examine the man and found that he had many wounds, two of which were the most fatal: one on his chest, which almost damaged his heart, and the other on his abdomen, which damaged his internal organs.
In addition, there was excessive blood loss...
Dead!
Even the best physicians in the Imperial Medical Academy couldn't save this young man.
Of course, this is without Liu Dong.
Liu Tong had a lot of medical knowledge in his mind, including a book called "Hu Qingniu's Medical Book" and "Ping Yizhi's Lifelong Research", which recorded how to deal with the current situation.
Liu Tong first took out a pill and fed it into the man's mouth to temporarily save his life, and then instructed Liu Heng to carry the man on his back.
Liu Heng: "Why do I have to carry it?"
Liu Tong: "Because you are the youngest here, you have the least say."
Liu Heng: "..."
Shouldn't the youngest be the most pampered?
Why is the youngest child in their family always bullied by his older siblings? Even their father favors his older brothers and sisters.
Liu Heng resignedly carried the young man on his back.
Using their lightness skills, the four of them covered the distance that would normally take an hour in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
The four men's personal maids and servants were left in the courtyard to provide cover for them.
Their rooms are cleaned daily, so they are very clean.
Liu Tong did not bully his younger brother. He had Liu Heng take the injured man to his room and then asked the servants to prepare another room for him.
Liu Tong began treating the man's injuries, while Liu Qingya assisted him.
Despite her willful and somewhat impetuous nature, Liu Qingya has a deep love for medicine and is able to patiently learn it.
When she was a child, she watched her mother lying on her sickbed and wondered if she could cure her mother if she knew medicine.
After that, she began to read medical books.
Liu Tong wrote down Hu Qingniu's medical books, Ping Yizhi's lifelong research, and modern medical knowledge and gave them to Liu Qingya.
After studying, Liu Qingya discussed it with Liu Dong.
Her medical skills were not as good as Liu Tong's, but they were good enough to match those of the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Academy.
Thanks to the two doctors' efforts, the young man's life was saved.
……
Liu Qingya took the medicine into the room, preparing to change the man's dressing.
The man's injuries were too severe; he had been unconscious for two days.
Liu Qingya removed the cloth from the man's chest, cleaned his wounds with strong liquor, and reapplied the medicine.
It's rare to encounter such an injured patient, so this is a good opportunity for her to practice and gain experience.
Liu Qingya's movements were gentle and meticulous, completely different from her usual behavior.
She was focused on the wound and didn't notice that the injured person had already opened their eyes.
After bandaging the wound, Liu Qingya raised her head and met a pair of deep eyes.
Liu Qingya was startled: "You...you're awake?"
"It was you who saved me, young lady! Thank you!" the man said in a hoarse voice.
"Not just me, but also my two younger brothers."
Liu Qingya quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to the man's lips: "Have some water first."
The man was grateful for Liu Qingya's thoughtfulness, smiled at her, and drank the water in his cup.
Liu Qingya put down her cup and said to the man, "You should rest first. I'll have someone bring you your medicine later."
"Miss, wait a moment." The man quickly called out to Liu Qingya.
Liu Qingya turned around in confusion.
Man: "My name is Gong Yi. May I ask your honorable name, young lady?"
Liu Qingya: "My surname is Liu, but I can't tell you my given name."
After saying that, he stuck out his tongue and turned to leave.
The man was amused by her playful gesture. She only told him her surname, not her given name…
Girls from ordinary families and women in the martial arts world wouldn't do that; only young ladies from noble families wouldn't easily reveal their maiden names to men they don't know.
The person who saved him is no ordinary person.
Are there any powerful or wealthy families with the surname Liu in this capital city?
There really is one...
Gong Yi gasped. Could it be that family?
That young lady must be of very high status.
Gong Yi's eyes flickered.
Next, Gong Yi stayed in the courtyard to recuperate.
Liu Qingya came to check Gong Yi's pulse and change his dressings every day. Gong Yi's spirits improved, and he was able to have long conversations with Liu Qingya.
Gong Yi speaks with substance and humor, often making Liu Qingya very happy.
The two became very familiar with each other, and Gong Yi also got to know Liu Qingyu, Liu Dong, and Liu Heng, and became acquainted with the three of them.
Half a month later, Gong Yi's injuries had mostly healed.
Liu Tong and the other three could no longer stay in the courtyard; their father had already sent someone to urge them to return to the mansion.
The main reason is that the Empress Dowager in the palace misses Liu Qingya and wants Liu Qingya to come to the palace to accompany her.
The Liu family knew perfectly well what the real reason was.
Liu Qingya was unhappy. She had realized that although her aunt was so kind to her, she didn't have much sincerity and was mostly using her.
However, she was the Empress Dowager, high above everyone else, so even if she had a lot of grievances, she had to keep them to herself.
The four returned to the Liu residence and met with Liu's father.
The family had a reunion dinner. After the meal, Mr. Liu went to his study, and Liu Qingya followed him in.
The father and daughter were in the study for more than an hour; it's unknown what they said.
The next day, Liu Qingya went to the palace to see the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager pulled Liu Qingya aside and complained, "You child, why haven't you come to the palace to keep me company for so long?"
Liu Qingya smiled and said, "Aunt, I want to accompany you too. Isn't this for praying for blessings? It's forty-nine days, not a single day less!"
Empress Dowager: "Life in the temple is hard, you've suffered. Look at you, you've lost so much weight in just two months."
Where have you lost weight?
She felt that she had gained several pounds.
The main reason is that the local snacks are so delicious.
The two chatted for a while, and then the emperor arrived.
The emperor is twenty years old this year, just turned twenty, still somewhat immature, and not yet able to control his expressions.
Liu Qingya saw the impatience in his eyes.
Liu Qingya took a deep breath and mocked herself for being blinded by her own past self, failing to notice the emperor's displeasure.
Even if she enters the palace, how well can she live if she has a husband who doesn't love her?
And she wasn't even the emperor's principal wife; there would be another woman overshadowing him from now on...
Liu Qingya got angry just thinking about it.
Her pride wouldn't allow her to bow down to other women.
If the Emperor and Empress Dowager really want her to enter the palace as a Noble Consort, then she shouldn't blame them for doing things that would betray them.
After returning home, he and his younger brother researched drugs that could sterilize men.
When the time comes, she'll find another man to have a child with, and then claim it's her cousin, the emperor's.
The emperor's cousin only had this one child in his life, so the throne could only be passed on to this child.
Didn't the Empress Dowager want the Liu family bloodline to continue as emperor?
This way, her wish can be considered fulfilled, right?
As for the Empress...
She wouldn't kill that woman, but she definitely wouldn't let her get away with it. (End of Chapter)
