Chapter 121 Xiao Ling is injured, and is carefully cared for.
After Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu left the palace, life did not return to normal. One day, while they were out, they were attacked by a group of unidentified assassins.
"Protect Madam!" Xiao Ling shouted, shielding Su Jinxiu behind him.
The assassins swarmed forward, and Xiao Ling fought back fiercely, but the assassins were numerous and highly skilled, and Xiao Ling gradually found himself in a predicament.
Just then, an assassin took advantage of Xiao Ling's unpreparedness and stabbed at Su Jinxiu.
"Jinxiu, watch out!" Xiao Ling rushed forward without hesitation, using his own body to block the fatal blow.
The sword pierced Xiao Ling's back, and blood instantly stained his clothes.
"Husband!" Su Jinxiu screamed in terror.
Despite the excruciating pain, Xiao Ling turned around and continued fighting the assassin.
"Hurry up!" Xiao Ling shouted to Su Jinxiu.
Su Jinxiu was in tears, but she knew she couldn't be a burden to Xiao Ling at this moment, so she had no choice but to escape under the protection of her trusted confidants.
Xiao Ling fought against multiple enemies and was injured in several places, but he still held off the assassins to buy time for Su Jinxiu.
Finally, reinforcements arrived, and the assassins, seeing the situation was dire, fled.
"General!" The reinforcements surrounded him.
Xiao Ling's vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground.
Su Jinxiu rushed back anxiously upon learning that Xiao Ling was injured and unconscious.
"My husband, you must hold on." Su Jinxiu stayed by Xiao Ling's bedside day and night.
The entire Marquis's residence was gripped by tension and worry.
"Madam, the general will be alright." The maids comforted Su Jinxiu, but her eyes were full of anxiety.
Meanwhile, the ministers in the court who were jealous of Xiao Ling began to stir with urges upon hearing this news.
“This is a good opportunity; we can take this chance to suppress the Marquis’s mansion,” a minister said.
“That’s right, we can’t let Xiao Ling have a chance to turn things around,” another minister echoed.
They slandered Xiao Ling before the emperor, saying that his assassination attempt was due to his own actions of making too many enemies.
Although the emperor still cared about Xiao Ling, he couldn't help but hesitate upon hearing these remarks.
Meanwhile, at the Marquis's residence, Su Jinxiu had to take care of the injured Xiao Ling while also dealing with pressure from the imperial court.
"No matter the cost, we must find the best doctor to treat the general," Su Jinxiu ordered.
After much effort, they finally managed to invite the most famous doctor in the capital.
After examining Xiao Ling, the doctor shook his head: "The injuries are too severe; I can only do my best."
Su Jinxiu's heart sank to the bottom.
Just when everyone was in despair, a mysterious old man appeared...
Su Jinxiu held Xiao Ling's hand tightly, her eyes filled with worry and determination. She personally cleaned Xiao Ling's wounds and changed his dressings, every movement careful, afraid of hurting him.
"My husband, you must get better soon," Su Jinxiu murmured softly, her voice choked with sobs.
To help Xiao Ling recover faster, Su Jinxiu personally cooked and prepared nourishing medicinal soup. The kitchen was filled with the rich aroma of herbs, and she kept her eyes glued to the stove, afraid that the heat would be too high and affect the efficacy of the medicine.
"Madam, please rest. These things can be done by the servants," the maid said with concern.
Su Jinxiu shook her head: "No, I want to take care of my husband myself. Only then can I feel at ease."
During the day, she would sit by Xiao Ling's bedside, telling him interesting stories from the Marquis's mansion, hoping to awaken his consciousness. At night, she would lie by the bedside, waking up immediately at the slightest sound to check on him.
The affairs of the Marquis's residence were numerous, but Su Jinxiu did not neglect them while taking care of Xiao Ling. She handled various matters in the study, and although she was exhausted, she never complained.
"Madam, news has come from the court that those ministers are stirring up trouble again," the steward said worriedly.
Su Jinxiu frowned: "Let's ignore them for now. Taking care of the general is the most important thing."
However, Xiao Ling's injuries did not show any significant improvement, and Su Jinxiu was extremely anxious.
"Isn't there any other way?" She inquired everywhere about famous doctors, unwilling to give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope.
One day, Su Jinxiu heard that there was a reclusive doctor outside the city with superb medical skills who had cured many difficult and complicated diseases.
"No matter what, I have to give it a try." Ignoring everyone's objections, Su Jinxiu personally went out of the city to find the divine doctor.
Along the way, Su Jinxiu encountered many difficulties. The roads were rugged and difficult to travel, and the weather was harsh and unpredictable, but she had only one belief in her heart: she must find the divine doctor to cure Xiao Ling.
After many hardships, Su Jinxiu finally found the miracle doctor.
"Divine doctor, please save my husband!" Su Jinxiu pleaded, kneeling on the ground.
The renowned physician was moved by her sincerity and decided to accompany her to the Marquis's residence.
Under the treatment of the miracle doctor, Xiao Ling's condition finally took a turn for the better.
"As long as he follows my prescription, he will gradually get better," the miracle doctor said.
Su Jinxiu wept with joy: "Thank you so much, doctor."
But at this very moment, the situation in the imperial court became increasingly tense...
