Chapter 609

“Master, Miss has shown Zhiya great kindness. I’m sure she wouldn’t joke about something like this,” Cuiguo said seriously after giving it some thought.

“Then let her try.” Li Tianyou considered the matter. As long as there was even the slightest chance, he was unwilling to let his daughter miss it.

“But Prince An is still in the Accompanying Moon Pavilion…” Cuiguo said hesitantly.

After all, none of them dared mention this matter to Prince An.

“I’ll go personally. In a moment, I’ll ask Prince An to come out and speak with me. Madam, you stay in the room and keep an eye on things. If anything goes wrong, call out,” Li Tianyou said solemnly as he looked at Lady Yao.

“Rest assured, Master. I understand.” Lady Yao agreed without hesitation.

After all, she wanted more than anyone for her daughter to wake up soon.

Once they had made their arrangements, the group headed toward the Accompanying Moon Pavilion.

Xu Heming sat beside the bed, staring unblinkingly at Li Zhiwei.

“Prince An!” When Li Tianyou saw how grief-stricken Xu Heming looked, he felt miserable as well.

Their daughter was unconscious and unable to wake, and they were heartbroken. But how could Xu Heming possibly be feeling any better?

At this point, all he hoped was that Zhiya truly had a way to save his daughter.

“Father-in-law, Mother-in-law!” Xu Heming nodded at Li Tianyou and Lady Yao, then turned his gaze back to the bed.

It was as though if he looked at Li Zhiwei a few more times, she would wake up.

“Prince An, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you. Let’s speak somewhere else.” Li Tianyou gave a light cough before addressing Xu Heming.

Xu Heming looked at Li Zhiwei on the bed and did not want to leave.

“Zhiwei is in no condition to wake up anytime soon. Let’s talk for a while in the pavilion outside,” Li Tianyou persuaded him.

Xu Heming gazed at Li Zhiwei, who looked as though she were merely asleep. Then he stood and followed Li Tianyou outside.

Only after they had left did Lady Yao let out a long breath and call Zhiya inside to examine Li Zhiwei.

“Zhiya, hurry and take a look. Master has already taken Prince An outside,” Cuiguo instructed her.

Zhiya naturally did not dare delay. She immediately stepped forward and carefully examined Li Zhiwei.

Only after she had finished did Zhiya finally relax. This condition was indeed exactly the same as that of the woman her grandfather had treated in the past.

“Madam, I need to use acupuncture on Miss,” Zhiya said seriously as she looked at Lady Yao.

“Zhiya, do you truly have a way to save Weiwei?” Lady Yao asked uncertainly.

“Madam, Miss is my benefactor. I wouldn’t dare make a reckless claim. It’s just that Miss’s condition is the same as that of the woman my grandfather treated before. I would like to try acupuncture on Miss and see if it works,” Zhiya said earnestly.

“Zhiya, Weiwei is pregnant,” Lady Yao said, still uncertain. After all, Li Zhiwei was carrying a child.

She did not want anything to happen to the baby.

“Please rest assured, Madam. The needles will only wake Miss. They will not affect the child in her womb,” Zhiya said firmly.

“How long will it take?” Lady Yao glanced outside at Li Tianyou and Xu Heming before asking.

“Only half an incense stick’s worth of time,” Zhiya replied confidently.

“Madam, since Zhiya has a way to save Miss, there’s no harm in telling Prince An, is there?” Cuiguo naturally knew what her mistress was worried about. Still, she did not think there was any need to hide this from Prince An.

“No!” Lady Yao shook her head without a moment’s hesitation.

If it had been any other matter, she would not have thought Xu Heming would object.

But this concerned both Li Zhiwei and the child in her womb. Lady Yao did not dare take the risk. After all, during these past few days, she had witnessed everything Xu Heming had done for Li Zhiwei.

He ​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‍would certainly never agree to let Li Zhiwei take any risks.

“Zhiya, begin. But if anything happens to Weiwei…” Lady Yao gave Zhiya a warning look, leaving the rest of her words unsaid.

“If my judgment is wrong, there’s no need for you to say anything, Madam. I am willing to die to atone for my mistake!” Zhiya immediately knelt before Lady Yao and made her vow.

“Since that’s the case, begin,” Lady Yao said.

In truth, she was not certain that Zhiya’s method could really save Li Zhiwei.

But her daughter had been asleep for far too long. Even if there was only the slightest chance, she did not want to let it pass.

“Please prepare a piece of red cloth for me, Madam,” Zhiya said to Lady Yao.

Lady Yao had no idea what Zhiya needed the red cloth for, but she still gestured for Cuiguo to fetch one.

Zhiya looked at Li Zhiwei on the bed. She tied one end of the red cloth around Li Zhiwei’s hand, while the other end pointed toward the ‘Li Zhiwei’ standing nearby.

Li Zhiwei’s eyes widened. She had not expected that Zhiya could seemingly see her. After all, the red cloth happened to be right beside her.

“Miss, it’s time for you to return!” Zhiya said, looking in the direction where Li Zhiwei’s soul stood.

“You can see me?” Li Zhiwei asked in shock.

“Miss, you must return to your body!” Zhiya continued muttering, clearly looking at Li Zhiwei but not answering her question.

This made Li Zhiwei wonder if what she had just seen was merely her imagination.

“Zhiya, I want to go back too, but I can’t.” Li Zhiwei was deeply troubled.

Ever since she had dragged Xu Heming back into his body, she had remained by his side.

For the past few days, Xu Heming had guarded her at her bedside, while she could do nothing but anxiously watch from nearby.

She also knew that she was pregnant.

Zhiwei frowned.

Since childhood, she had possessed another ability: yin-yang eyes. She could see things that ordinary people could not.

The reason she had dared to insist that she could save Li Zhiwei was that she had seen Li Zhiwei’s soul remaining inside the room the entire time.

Yet even after calling out three times, she still could not get Li Zhiwei to return to her body.

“Miss, is there something you haven’t finished?” Zhiya asked uncertainly.

“No.” Li Zhiwei shook her head. She knew that her parents from her previous life would ultimately come to a peaceful end, and that was enough for her.

“If you don’t return soon, Miss, you may truly never be able to wake up again.” Zhiya was becoming anxious as well.

She could not understand why Li Zhiwei was unable to return to her own body.

Zhiya tried tugging on the red cloth, and Li Zhiwei took a step forward.

“What are you doing?” an angry voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone in the room was startled.

Even Li Zhiwei was frightened and immediately fell into her own body.

“It worked!” Zhiya cried out excitedly.

“What worked? Who are you? What are you trying to do to Weiwei?” Xu Heming strode forward without a second thought and seized Zhiya by the throat.

His eyes were filled with fury.

“Heming, stop! She’s saving Weiwei!” Lady Yao had not expected Xu Heming to return at that exact moment. They had been completely unprepared.

Only after seeing Xu Heming gripping Zhiya by the neck did Lady Yao come to her senses.

“Hmph! So many imperial physicians at the Imperial Medical Institute could do nothing. How could a young girl like her possibly have a way? I think she was sent by someone else to harm Weiwei!” Xu Heming’s eyes were red-rimmed. He did not believe that this person could save Li Zhiwei.
