Chapter 489 Xiao Siyue in a Coma
But what Lu Zhijin didn't know was that he had actually guessed correctly.
The entire Xiao family in the capital gathered in Xiao Siyue's courtyard.
"Doctor, what's wrong with my daughter? Is she sick?" Xiao Qinian asked anxiously as the doctor took her pulse.
The doctor shook his head: "Lord Xiao, the pulse indicates that the princess is perfectly healthy. As for why she is unconscious, please forgive me for being unable to help. Lord Xiao, you might as well ask the imperial physician to examine the princess." Although the doctor said this, he was truly puzzled. He had been a doctor all his life and had never seen such a strange patient.
Xiao Qinian was somewhat disappointed, but he still gave the doctor the deposit and had someone escort him out of the mansion.
"Third brother, hurry and fetch the imperial physician to examine Yue'er! How could Yue'er suddenly fall into a coma? Just yesterday she was laughing and joking with me." Old Mrs. Xiao's face was full of worry, her eyes red and filled with concern.
"Mother, don't worry, I'll go and fetch the imperial physician right away. Our Yue'er is lucky and will be alright." Xiao Qinian comforted his elderly mother, but his anxiety did not subside at all.
Everyone was very worried, but no one noticed Lin Qin's strange behavior.
In the past, Lin Qin treated Xiao Siyue as her lifeblood, fearing that she would suffer even the slightest harm. If it were in the past, she would have already been sobbing uncontrollably by Xiao Siyue's bedside by now. But now, Lin Qin stared blankly at the person on the bed.
Everyone eagerly awaited the arrival of the imperial physician to help Xiao Siyue recover, but they were ultimately disappointed. The imperial physician's words were exactly the same as those of the previous doctors; they couldn't figure out what was wrong with Xiao Siyue either. After taking her pulse, they could only come to one conclusion: she was asleep.
They waited until dark, but Xiao Siyue still hadn't woken up. Although the Xiao family was worried, they couldn't stay there indefinitely, so Xiao Qinian told everyone else to go home first.
At this moment, only Xiao Qinian and Lin Qin remained in Xiao Siyue's room.
Xiao Qinian noticed Lin Qin's unusual behavior, but assumed it was because she was too worried about her daughter. After offering a few words of comfort, he turned to Xiao Siyue on the bed and said, "System, system, are you there? Do you know what's wrong with Yue'er?"
Upon hearing Xiao Qinian's words, Lin Qin's eyes flashed, and a hint of guilt and heartache suddenly appeared in them.
"System, say something! Are you there?" Xiao Qinian continued, hoping the system would answer his question.
He had been so worried about his daughter that he forgot about the system's existence, but now he remembered it. The system had helped his daughter many times, and he had actually felt its presence before. Now he just hoped that the system could help his daughter one more time.
However, despite Xiao Qinian's repeated calls, the system never appeared, leaving him feeling somewhat disheartened.
What he didn't know was that the system was also anxiously waiting in Xiao Siyue's mind. It had heard Xiao Qinian's words, but unfortunately, it couldn't send him any messages right now.
Thinking back on what had happened, the system felt helpless.
Xiao Siyue suddenly felt a sense of unease, as if something very important had happened to her. But the most important people to her were her family and her lover. Her family was all safe and sound, so the only one who could be concerned was Lu Zhijin, who was far away on the battlefield in Lizhou.
But she had no idea what had happened to Lu Zhijin, and could only worry anxiously.
Finally, I thought of asking the system.
"System, could you check if something happened to Ah Jin?"
"Host, that's possible, but it will cost you merit points."
"Sure, please check it for me quickly." Xiao Siyue agreed without hesitation, fortunately the cost wasn't too high.
The system is very fast; the investigation was completed in the blink of an eye.
"Host, Lu Zhijin has been pierced through the chest by the enemy's general and is about to die."
"System, what did you say? How could this happen? Can I take the Vitality Pill?" Xiao Siyue was unaware that the Vitality Pill she gave to Lu Zhijin had already been used up.
"Yes, the Life-Giving Pill is perfectly fine for this minor injury." The system's tone was reassuring, which put Xiao Siyue at ease. However, she immediately thought that Lu Zhijin was so badly injured, could he really take the Life-Giving Pill himself? What if he couldn't, then it would still be useless.
"System, please do me a favor. Check if Ajin has taken his medicine."
"Alright." The system checked again and saw that Lu Zhijin was about to die. It wanted to help him by taking out the Life-Saving Pill, but it couldn't find the Life-Saving Pill at all.
"Host, something bad has happened! Lu Zhijin doesn't have any Life-Giving Pills on him."
"What? Could it be that A Jin has already used up the Vitality Pill?" Xiao Siyue only realized this at this moment. The battlefield is full of dangers, and A Jin may have been injured before and consumed the Vitality Pill.
"System, quick, I need to buy another Vitality Pill." Xiao Siyue was extremely anxious. Lu Zhijin's life was hanging by a thread, and she had no time to hesitate.
"Host, even if you bought the Vitality Pill, it won't be long before you can deliver it. It's useless. Besides, you've forgotten that you don't have much merit left."
"System, aren't you still here? You can go to the battlefield and check; you should be able to give the Life-Saving Pill to Ajin."
"No, every item generated by the system can only be transferred through the system space and cannot be directly moved. Moreover, when I go to the battlefield, I am only a wisp of consciousness and cannot take anything with me." The system's words shattered Xiao Siyue's hopes.
"System, please save Ajin! He's so young, he can't die." Xiao Siyue was heartbroken at the thought of Lu Zhijin dying on the battlefield at such a young age, and begged the system to save him.
The system initially refused, but after Xiao Siyue's persistent pleas, it finally revealed the method.
"Host, the only way to save Lu Zhijin is to transfer the merits you have earned to him."
“Okay, system, please save him quickly.” Xiao Siyue agreed immediately without hesitation.
"Host, that will require almost all of your merits," the system couldn't help but continue.
Upon hearing all her merits, Xiao Siyue was stunned. She knew the consequences of losing all her merits; in fact, her life was almost entirely sustained by them. If she lost them, then perhaps…
Xiao Siyue wasn't afraid of death, but she couldn't bear to leave her loving family and Lu Zhijin.
But... she didn't want Lu Zhijin to die even more.
"System, if I die, could you erase my family's feelings for me? I don't want them to be sad," Xiao Siyue said to the system, suppressing her heartache.
"Host, are you sure you really want to give up the merits you've worked so hard to earn for Lu Zhijin?" After years of getting along, the system still couldn't bear to see Xiao Siyue leave.
