Chapter 213: Injury Worsened
At the same time, in the general's mansion, the fifth lady Bai Yiling had just walked into her third brother's yard when she saw her third brother's personal servant Cheng Antai running out of the room in a dishevel, his body covered in medicine.
Bai Yiling hurried forward and asked: "An Tai, what's wrong with you?"
As soon as the servant An Tai saw her, he began to tear up and said, "The third young master's leg is in much worse condition today, and the ulcers are even more serious. The young master feels unbearable pain and is getting angry. He said that it is useless to drink the medicine anyway. I was holding the medicine and wanted to persuade him again, but the young master bumped into the medicine bowl and accidentally spilled it all over me."
As the servant An Tai spoke, he knelt down and cried, "Fifth Miss, I'm fine. Please go in and see the third young master. Please try to persuade him. How can we help him if he refuses to take the medicine?"
Bai Yiling suddenly became extremely anxious and rushed to her third brother's room as fast as the wind. The maid Jianqiu followed closely behind her, looking equally nervous and anxious.
When Bai Yiling suddenly pushed open the slightly old door, a strong and pungent smell instantly hit her face.
This smell is not only filled with a strong medicinal smell, but also mixed with various indescribable, complex and unusual odors. It is obvious that this room has not been ventilated for a long time.
Immediately afterwards, a heart-wrenching groan of pain came from the house: "Ah..." This sound was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Bai Yiling's heart.
It seemed that she heard the sound of the door being pushed open. Before Bai Yiling could get close to the bed, she heard her third brother's angry roar again: "Get out! Get out! Get out! All of you get out..."
Bai Yiling quickened her pace and came to the bedside, but the scene she saw made her heart ache. The third brother who was once full of vigor and heroic now looked like a disheveled madman.
His hair was messy and tied together, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, which kept rolling down his cheeks. He was curled up tightly on the bed, his hands trembling as he stroked his legs, which emitted a disgusting smell of decay.
Bai Yiling looked at him with great heartache. She rushed to the bedside in two steps and said anxiously: "Third brother, is your leg condition getting worse? I'll go get a doctor for you right away."
However, her third brother Bai Youan gritted his teeth, glared at me, and shouted, "Get out! Get out! I am a useless man now. I don't need any of your pity or care. Don't bother me."
Hearing this, Bai Yiling's heroic eyes were filled with guilt. Her beautiful face was already filled with endless sadness. Tears welled up in her eyes, as if they would fall at any time. However, she didn't want to cry in front of her third brother, so she tried hard to control her emotions.
"Third brother, don't say that... It's all my fault. If I had paid more attention to your injuries earlier and asked a better doctor to treat you sooner, maybe you wouldn't have been delayed until now. Your condition has become so serious. It's all my fault."
As Bai Yiling spoke, her body began to tremble slightly, and she felt more and more regretful and self-blaming.
In the past, she poured all her thoughts into her fourth brother Bai Mufan, and he was the only one she could see in her heart and eyes.
Because of this, she neglected her third brother, who needed her careful care the most. She used to come to visit and accompany her third brother often, but as time went by, her third brother's temper became more and more irritable, so she came less and less often.
At this time, the third young master Bai Youan looked at his sister who was kneeling beside the bed with a guilty look on her face. His heart was also filled with sorrow. So even though his legs were in excruciating pain, he still endured the pain, raised his hands with difficulty, and gently pushed Bai Yiling.
Bai Youan said, "It's no use. My legs are beyond repair and cannot be saved... Sister, this is not caused by you. You don't have to feel so guilty. Just get up and leave. Don't bother with a useless person like me anymore."
He didn't want his sister to see him in such a miserable state again. He had been unable to take care of himself for many years and was tortured by illness every day, which had long made him lose hope of living.
Bai Yiling choked up and said: "My sister will go and beg the emperor to give her another hundred-year-old ginseng."
Bai Youan whispered hoarsely: "It's useless. The imperial physician came to treat me before and said that I won't be able to stand up again with my legs. Even if I use this hundred-year-old ginseng, I can only keep my life hanging on. Besides, the emperor has already rewarded me with this ginseng once. How can we in the general's mansion have the nerve to ask for it again?"
He already knew that the ginseng in the mansion had been given away by his fourth brother, but it was useless. He would never be able to stand up again in this life anyway, so it would be better for him to just die.
Bai Yiling had no time to care about anything else. She just frowned and opened her red lips slightly: "Brother, I will go to see the emperor and ask for his forgiveness. I also pray that the emperor will give me ginseng again and send the imperial physician to treat me!" After she finished speaking, she flashed and rushed out like a light swallow.
She tapped the ground lightly with her toes, her internal energy flowing between her feet, and she displayed wonderful lightness skills, flying towards the gate of the mansion like lightning. Along the way, she nimbly crossed many obstacles and was near the gate in the blink of an eye.
However, at this moment, when Bai Yiling jumped over the wall, he was caught by the guards guarding outside the mansion.
The guards were all shocked when they saw this, but they could not catch up with the Fifth Young Lady in their speed. They could only watch as the young lady flew away like a meteor chasing the moon, and disappeared in the vast crowd in an instant.
A guard said: "What should we do? The young lady ran away like this. When the fourth young master comes back, we will all be punished."
Another guard said: "Send someone to inform the fourth young master first."
"it is good".
Bai Yiling rushed all the way to the outside of Shenwu Gate. Her pretty face was filled with anxiety. She stared intently at the guards at the gate and shouted, "I am General Bai's daughter—Bai Yiling! I have important matters to attend to today and must enter the palace to see the emperor!"
The imperial guards standing at the gate stood straight, spears in hand, their faces stern and serious. One of them stepped forward and said in a deep, unquestionable voice, "Miss Bai, you are well aware of the palace's rules. No one is allowed to enter the palace without the emperor's summons."
So Bai Yiling started to argue with the Yulin Guards at the palace gate, but they refused to let her in.
Bai Yiling saw guards everywhere and she couldn't defeat them. Seeing that this road was impossible to enter, Bai Yiling's eyes were red and tears were rolling in her eyes. She said almost pleadingly: "My kind brother, my brother is now terminally ill and in critical condition. He urgently needs the treatment of the imperial physician. Please be kind and let me in to see the emperor!"
However, although the Yulin Guards were full of sympathy for her words, they knew that the palace rules could not be violated.
The Yulin Guard shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Miss Bai, please don't make things difficult for us on duty anymore. No matter how much you beg, we must not sacrifice personal interests for public benefit and break this precedent!" After that, he held the spear horizontally in his hand again, indicating that Bai Yiling could not pass.
