The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 442 Both in Coma

Finally, I saw the demon behind the scenes. Although he appeared as a man and I couldn't see his face clearly no matter how hard I looked, I could confirm that he really existed.

The demon was very dissatisfied with the current outcome. She was only one step away from success. Tiandu had been invaded by the demonic energy and was controlled by herself. She didn't expect that she could still be sober and rational.

Shen Wen looked at the immobilized Yuchi Lian and said to the demon, "It's not that you don't want to kill her, but you feel that compared to capturing me, I am still more important than her."

The man sneered, "So what? Now that you've ended up like this, what are you going to do? Let me warn you, I'm giving you this great opportunity to kill them both. Time is running out, and this is my best chance to help you. Either you kill them both, or this crazy woman behind me breaks my spell, and then you fall into her hands again and suffer her torture again. You've experienced it before, her torture methods are more terrifying than eviscerating. Think it over, do you really want to end up like that again?"

The tone of the man's every word was extremely creepy.

Chu Yanqiu, who was lying on the ground and heard his words clearly, recalled the fragments of memories of Shen Wen in his hands during that period. He couldn't help but feel sad for his sweetheart. He now understood everything. Shen Wen, the guy he had always tortured, was the woman he truly loved. The woman he regarded as a fake was tortured by him miserably.

Chu Yanqiu endured the excruciating pain throughout his body, struggling to move forward, his hands scraping against the ground as he inch by inch towards Shen Wen. Not only was he severely injured, he was also under a spell, and every time he was dragged, he trembled in pain.

The feeling of powerlessness in his heart made him collapse. This was the reality that a mortal like him had to face. No matter how hard he tried to protect someone, his wish could not be fulfilled. This was the ending. They were a pair of lovers, wanting to die but unable to, living in despair.

Shen Wen looked at the man's current appearance and remembered what he said to him that night when he regained his memory. A trace of warmth returned to his heart.

She still believed that human nature is probably good.

At this moment, the man behind him shook his neck lazily. He said with a bit of disappointment, "Time has been wasted like this. It seems that I still can't successfully capture you this time. It's such a pity. Then, your fate will continue to be tortured and teased."

After he said this, he disappeared from the spot, and the fairy from the cliff disappeared with him.

This story of cause and effect ended here. Yuchi Lian, who was wielding a sword and killing, had returned to his true body when he broke the immobilization spell. However, she saw the conversation between the demon and Shen Wen clearly.

Now that she had just obtained her true body, it would take some time for her soul to return to her body, so she found a cave to practice.

Chu Yanqiu in the mansion of Duke Ji has been in a coma for five days. There has always been a line of famous doctors waiting outside the door of the mansion. These people have different levels of skills, but they cannot wake Chu Yanqiu up immediately. The most common diagnosis given to Chu Yanqiu is that his injuries are too serious and he needs a long time to rest. Five days of coma is not a long time, and he can be observed for a few more days.

After hearing what the doctor said, Master Ji and his wife felt a little relieved.

Second Madam Ji was a considerate person. Although her son was very busy here, she still sent a doctor to visit Shen every day for a consultation.

Ever since Chu Yanqiu was injured and fell into a coma, Shen also fell into a coma in Chu Yanqiu's room. The doctor who was called to see her on the first day said that she fell into a coma due to excessive shock. When Mrs. Ji thought of her son going crazy anytime and anywhere, she naturally thought that it was all her son's fault because of Shen. Her eyes turned red and she sighed heavily, cursing her son for being such a bad boy.

Miss Shen was arranged to live in another courtyard, and this time there were seven or eight more servants and old women to take care of her. They were ordered by their superiors not to let Miss Shen suffer any injustice in the slightest.

Shen Wen was also in a coma for five days. Second Madam Ji, who had always cared about Shen, realized that something was wrong. She sent more doctors to examine Shen Wen carefully, but the doctors shook their heads after the examination because they could not find the cause at all. They didn't know why Shen Wen was still unconscious. One of the radical doctors even pricked Shen Wen's finger to let her bleed, but there was no sign of her waking up.

The little emperor in the palace had been going crazy in his bedroom for five days. When he came back late that night, he found that Shen Wen, who had been sleeping in front of the bed, had disappeared. He was furious and sent many guards to search all over the imperial city, but there was no trace of him.

He handled state affairs during the day and sent people to look for her at night. He turned the palace upside down and sent people out to look for her. The little emperor didn't sleep for three days because of this. On the fourth day, he had two dark circles on his head and had no intention of going to court to handle state affairs. He lay on the table, angry but not uttering a word.

Eunuch Guo was waiting nearby. Many people had already been punished or beaten to death because of this incident. When Eunuch Guo thought of his master's angry look, his heart trembled with fear. He was not delusion. He was more and more certain that his master was going crazy. If he couldn't find Shen Wen, his Majesty the Emperor would definitely go crazy.

It had been three days. He had secretly kept the imperial physician by his side day and night, waiting for the right opportunity to give the emperor a thorough diagnosis and treatment, but the little emperor wouldn't let the physician touch him at all.

The imperial physician was no pushover. Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, auscultation, questioning, and palpation. The imperial physician observed his own emperor for three consecutive days and privately revealed to Eunuch Guo that the emperor's behavior was too different from usual. The tranquilizers he secretly gave him several times a day did not show any improvement, which was not a good sign.

Eunuch Guo asked the imperial physician with a pale face and a trembling voice what should be done to make the emperor better.

The imperial physician thought for a long time before speaking uncertainly, "This...heart disease needs heart medicine. Everything must be traced back to its source. I think we should find that girl as soon as possible."

Eunuch Guo blinked his eyes and stared at the imperial physician blankly. He took a deep breath for a long time before he couldn't help but curse at the imperial physician.

I've been talking about this for so long, but it's the same as not saying anything at all. Now everyone knows this truth, okay?

The incident ended with Eunuch Guo turning around and leaving.

On the fifth day, the imperial physician came to him in a hurry again.

Eunuch Guo asked what was going on. The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said hurriedly, "Eunuch, I found her. I saw the girl you mentioned."

When Eunuch Guo heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately asked where it was.

The imperial physician said, "In the Duke Ji's mansion! Today, I was at the Duke Ji's mansion and was invited by Second Madam Ji to see someone in a courtyard. Who knew that the woman I saw was the one your Majesty was looking for? No doubt about it! I've seen the portrait of the girl in the hands of the imperial guards."

Eunuch Guo was not particularly surprised when he heard him say this. He drooped his eyelids and said, "We know about this. She is a fake. She is not the one the emperor wants to find."

The imperial physician had not anticipated this, but he was surprisingly quick-witted. He smiled and said, "Even if this is the case, it doesn't matter. Eunuch Guo, think about it. Our Majesty is seriously ill and almost unconscious. What he needs most right now is to see the person he longs for. But Miss Shen can't be found. Why not present the identical double to His Majesty? What if His Majesty's condition improves?"

When Eunuch Guo heard him say this, his eyes twinkled with stars. He smiled and said, "That's right. I'll do as you, Imperial Physician, suggest."

After the two men decided on the matter, Eunuch Guo secretly took his men to Duke Ji's mansion without telling the little emperor.

He brought a lot of people with him. The guards with swords were all masters, and they were holding the emperor's personal jade pendant. This time, he even found out clearly in advance where the substitute lived.

It was Master Ji who came to receive Eunuch Guo in person. Eunuch Guo asked directly to take Shen Wen away. This time, Master Ji was cautious. He did not immediately agree to hand over Shen Wen. Excluding other reasons, he did not dare to do so on his own initiative when he thought of his crazy and murderous nephew Chu Yanqiu.

Master Ji was smiling and dealing with Eunuch Guo, but secretly, while Eunuch Guo wasn't paying attention, he sent someone to quickly invite Master Ji and his wife. Eunuch Guo was anxious, but he always did a good job of saving face in front of others, and the two of them talked quite a bit in the room.

Until the arrival of Master Ji and his wife, Eunuch Guo took out the emperor's personal jade pendant and falsely conveyed the emperor's oral instructions to issue an imperial decree. As a result, the three masters of the Ji family knelt in front of Eunuch Guo and were forced by him to hand over Shen Wen. The three looked at each other in bewilderment, but they were not surprised.

Master Ji had received the emperor's oral order, so he quickly compromised. Master Ji's eyes hinted to Master Ji'er to obey the emperor's order, and Master Ji'er also agreed. Only Madam Ji put her son's affairs first in her heart. Since her son loved a woman, she loved her as well. How could she be willing to let Shen be taken away from her son?

Second Madam Ji secretly tugged at her husband's clothes. Second Master Ji looked back at his wife and immediately understood what she meant. He subconsciously raised his hand to stop her and said, "Um... Eunuch, can you please give Miss Shen a few more days? She's in poor health and unconscious. If you force her into the palace like this, I'm afraid her condition will only get worse."

Second Madam Ji also echoed, "Yes, eunuch, to be honest, Miss Shen has been in a coma for five days. We have called many doctors to see her, and even asked the imperial physician to take her pulse. She is just unconscious, but she is really very ill. Eunuch also doesn't want Miss Shen to get into trouble on the way to the palace, otherwise we should wait until she wakes up before telling you."

Eunuch Guo had long anticipated that it wouldn't be so easy to take her away. Hearing what Master Ji and his wife said, he took a few sips of tea slowly before saying with a smile, "I see. I didn't expect Miss Shen to be so seriously ill. You two should have told me earlier. I'll ask the palace physician to come and treat Miss Shen. This time, we'll ask a few more physicians, including some of the most capable judges. This matter is a matter of life and death, so the sooner the better."

So he called the eunuch outside the door and asked him to send someone back to the palace as fast as possible to call the imperial physician.

As a result, Eunuch Guo stayed in Duke Ji's mansion. He took this opportunity to go to Chu Yanqiu's room again and check on Chu Yanqiu's condition. Just as the description sent back to the palace by the imperial physician, Lord Chu was still very ill, with a dark yellow face and pale lips. Eunuch Guo was also a man of great knowledge. Looking at this situation, he guessed that he probably had serious internal injuries.
