Chapter 90: Goddess, Have You Been Here?

Bai Wei gazed outside the door, not blinking once.

She wanted to meet Xiao Moting for real.

She wanted to hear his voice and see what he truly looked like.

But...

Her chest felt as if a heavy stone were pressing down on it, and it was growing heavier.

Pressure from all directions made it impossible for her to breathe.

The barrier of time and space was constantly driving her to return, to go back to the place where she was supposed to be.

Bai Wei felt dizzy and lightheaded; she even found it difficult to breathe.

She could not remain in this time and space that did not belong to her.

Otherwise, she would lose her life.

Bai Wei used her last bit of strength, struggling to crawl up, and stumbled toward the wardrobe, falling headfirst into it...

Boom!

The back door of the Cold Palace opened.

A ray of lamplight shone in.

"Quick, Physician Han, the Noble Consort is waiting for you to save her life." Lai Mama carried a wind lamp and pushed open the back door in a hurry.

Xiao Moting's tall, imposing figure also appeared at the doorway.

He took a long stride and stepped into the courtyard.

Suddenly!

His narrow eyes narrowed, and he vaguely sensed something unusual.

In the night wind...

There was a faint, delicate fragrance, like a familiar scent.

He and Bai Wei were separated by time, and could only pass items through the wardrobe.

But sometimes, the things Bai Wei sent over were stained with her scent.

Although the scent was extremely faint, Xiao Moting had become very familiar with her smell after back-and-forth exchanges.

Suddenly!

A thought flashed through his brain like lightning!

Xiao Moting's whole body shuddered, and he looked up at the palace in disbelief.

Could it be...

He dared not think it!

He dared not guess!

A giant wave surged in his heart!

"Physician Han, please, this way..."

Lai Mama had just led Physician Han onto the steps when, unexpectedly, a tall figure brushed past her side, accompanied by the sound of wind!

Clang!

Xiao Moting pushed open the palace doors, his voice trembling!

"Bai Wei..."

A cool breeze blew against his face.

In the quiet palace, the oil lamp flickered, and the entire hall was silent.

The flame in Xiao Moting's eyes extinguished instantly.

He had guessed wrong.

It was his own delusions.

How could Shennü Daren possibly have come to Daliang?

Just then, Xiao Moting suddenly saw a pile of things he had never seen before placed beside the bed of Consort Yun.

"These... what are all these?" Physician Han stepped into the palace and was immediately shocked.

On the floor sat a First Aid Kit, a Defibrillator...

On Consort Yun's arm was a Drip, the transparent tube hanging from a stand by the bed.

Consort Yun lay quietly on the bed, her eyes closed, but her chest was rising and falling in a regular rhythm.

She was breathing!

Lai Mama was also stunned; after coming to her senses, she cried out in a panic.

"Caiyun, who did this?"

"Who came into the palace?"

Xiao Moting stared in a daze, his mind a complete blank.

She... had really come.

Physician Han hurriedly put down his medicine chest, took two or three steps to Consort Yun's bedside, and reached out to check her pulse.

But the next moment, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

"Wasn't it said that Consort Yun had no breath left? Yet she is alive and well now, and her pulse is very steady."

"Consort Yun is perfectly fine; she just needs to rest well now."

"Coming, coming..." Caiyun carried a basin of hot water and stumbled into the palace, "Lai Mama, I just went to boil some water..."

Suddenly, she saw Consort Yun, and the hot water in her hands spilled onto the floor.

"The Noble Consort is alive?!"

Medical Officer Han frowned and nodded, "Someone has treated Yunfei; her pulse is strong and much better than before."

"This... is there a deity who has descended to earth to save the consort?" Lai Mama blurted out in excitement.

Xiao Moting's throat swallowed heavily.

He turned abruptly and ran toward the wardrobe by the wall.

It was not a deity!

It was...

"Bai Wei, is it you? Have you been here?"

Xiao Moting's trembling fingers held a piece of chalk and wrote messy characters on the wardrobe.

It was her!

She had been here!

Shennü Daren had saved his mother while he was away!

He trembled as he wrote row after row of characters on the wardrobe.

The handwriting was very messy, not at all like his usual neat script.

Xiao Moting was too excited.

He wanted to see her.

But... after he finished writing, Bai Wei did not reply for a long time.

Xiao Moting's heart suddenly sank.

Why didn't she answer?

Did something happen?

"Shennü Daren, are you alright? Please reply to me immediately."

"Bai Wei, are you okay? Were you hurt?"

"If you see this, come find me."

Suddenly!

Xiao Moting vaguely heard a faint, shattering sound.

He lowered his head and picked up the jade pendant.

This was his family's heirloom Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant; one of them, the Phoenix Pendant, had already been sent to Bai Wei as a Tribute.

The Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant in his hand had originally been crystal clear.

But on the jade pendant, he did not know when a thin crack had appeared.

Bai Wei did not reply.

Xiao Moting took a deep breath and turned back into the palace.

"Medical Officer Han, how is my mother's condition?"

Medical Officer Han had already finished examining Yunfei, stood up straight, and shook his head with emotion.

"Consort Yunfei's condition is no longer in danger."

"This Transparent Glazed Bottle must be the medicine sustaining her life."

"But as for these things on the ground, I have practiced medicine for decades and have never seen them before."

Xiao Moting nodded calmly.

"Good, I understand."

Medical Officer Han did not know, but he was clear.

His mother was receiving an Infusion Bottle; he had seen them at the Beijiang Military Hospital, all of which were medical equipment sent by Bai Wei.

"Oh my, who could have come and saved the consort?" Lai Mama was very surprised, her expression excited.

Xiao Moting hesitated slightly.

"It is... a young lady I know, whose medical skills are extremely high."

"Prince, when did you meet a young lady?" Lai Mama was even more surprised, looking around, "Where is she? Why didn't I see her come in with you?"

Xiao Moting did not say much about Bai Wei's situation; he turned and faced Medical Officer Han solemnly, bowing with both hands.

"Medical Officer Han, thank you for coming to treat my mother."

Medical Officer Han hurriedly bowed in return.

"Prince, that is too much courtesy!"

"As a medical officer, it is my duty to save lives and heal the wounded."

Xiao Moting nodded and smiled.

"Medical Officer Han, Lai Mama said that whenever you have time, you secretly come to treat my mother."

"This kindness, Xiao Moting will remember."

In the palace's Imperial Hospital, the highest rank is the Imperial Physician, who is exclusively responsible for the health of the Emperor, Empress Dowager, Empress, and other high-ranking and powerful people, followed by the Medical Officer, who treats Imperial Concubines and high-ranking officials.

And the medical attendant is only the lowest official rank.

Just as Medical Officer Han was about to speak, a slight, strange sound suddenly came from the courtyard.

Xiao Moting's heart jolted; he took two or three steps to the wardrobe and pulled it open.

"Eh, when were so many medicines put into this cabinet?" Medical Officer Han was shocked, "Prince, did you put these medicines in the cabinet?"

Inside the wardrobe, a large pile of medicine had appeared.

The medicines were packed in colorful paper boxes, emitting a faint scent of traditional Chinese medicine.
