“How is he?” Mochuan looked at him and asked hoarsely.
Imperial Physician Zhang sighed and finally said it.
“He gave up in despair. He…… simply doesn’t want to live anymore.”
His words were like a thunderbolt that blew everyone silly in the room.
Chen Ning’s body shook again. She leaned back into Mochuan’s arms and closed her eyes. Two streams of tears fell down.
Mochuan seemed to be clutched by something. It was so painful that he couldn’t breathe.
“Imperial Physician Zhang, didn’t you say that Jingan Wang has lost consciousness? Then why are you saying that he doesn’t want to live?” He was confused.
“Yes. That is because he has closed off his senses. He doesn’t want to hear anything or feel anything. He put himself into a shell and doesn’t want to come out. He is…… bent on death. Even if this old man is more skilled, it is difficult to save a person who wants to die.
“Not to mention, he subconsciously does not want to take medicine. He spits out and throws up everything. This old man can only temporarily use acupuncture to maintain his life. But if things keep going on like this, he won’t last another few days.”
Imperial Physician Zhang shook his head. He said, full of confusion, “This old man does not understand. Jingan Wang is in the prime of his life. Why would he want to die? This old man can cure illnesses, but not heart diseases. For Jingan Wang to get better, the knot in his heart must be untied first. However, he doesn’t want to listen to anyone nor is he able to. This is a real incurable disease!”
Imperial Physician Zhang knelt down to Mochuan.
“Please forgive me, Emperor. This old man has really tried his best. Whether or not Jingan Wang can live, this old official can only say that it’s ‘Up to him and the Heavens’ will.’”
Mochuan tightly clenched his teeth. He silently helped Imperial Physician Zhang up.
“Zhen [how Emperors refer to themselves] knows that you are dedicated. Zhen won’t blame you.”
Chen Ning bit her lower lip until she bled. She knew why Chu Shaobai had lost the will to live. It was for her. He did it for her!
Not only did she know, but Mochuan knew too.
Chu Shaobai had always liked her. If Mochuan wasn’t jealous back then and sent Chu Shaobai away from the capital, perhaps the current situation would be completely different. The lucky person who had her wouldn’t be him, Mochuan, but him, Chu Shaobai!
But Mochuan never thought that Chu Shaobai loved her so deeply. He had no complaints even if he died for her.
If Chu Shaobai really died like this, he too would be guilty and unhappy for a lifetime.
No. He could not let Chu Shaobai die like this no matter what!
He must find a way to save him!
“Imperial Physician Zhang, if there is Thousand-Year-Old Fuling or Shouwu, or another Thousand-Year-Old Snow Ginseng, can Shaobai be saved?” Mochuan stared at Imperial Physician Zhang. Rekindled hope was in his eyes.
“Alas, even if there is such a rare treasure, it won’t save Jingan Wang’s life because he rejects any medicine. Even if the medicine is good, he needs to eat it for it to work.” Imperial Physician Zhang shook his head and sighed.
Mochuan’s heart sank. The ignited hope shattered again.
“Imperial Physician Zhang, is there really no way to save Shaobai? You have such superb medical skills. You’ve read so many medical books. Think again. There must be a way to save him. He’s so young. He…… can’t die like this. I beg you. You have to save him.”
Chen Ning bit her lip and suddenly knelt down to Imperial Physician Zhang.
