Chapter 382 Shot by an Arrow
Chapter 382 Shot by an Arrow
The two fought for an unknown amount of time. Finally, Luo An punched An Liangchen in the shoulder, and An Liangchen kicked Luo An in the abdomen, causing both of them to stumble backward and fall to the ground.
Pain! Every muscle from head to toe was screaming in pain! The two lay there for a while, then simultaneously propped themselves up and looked at each other.
Luo An saw that An Liangchen had disheveled hair, one side of his face was slightly swollen, the corner of his eye was bruised, there was blood at the corner of his mouth, and his clothes were a mixture of blood, grass, and mud, and were filthy.
Luo An tugged at his tattered clothes, not daring to imagine how pathetic he would look. He braced himself on the ground with his right hand, about to get up, when he heard An Liangchen's deep voice:
"Over the years, I have never forced you. Whether you want to be a doctor or go out and have fun, I will follow your wishes."
Father is not expected to live past this year, and Jingchen is also gone. If something happens to me, Yuxuan is too young, Nanhua lacks the ruthlessness to handle the situation, and without Nanfei and Yuanfeng to assist him, he certainly won't be able to control the court officials.
If that day ever comes, please be sure to come back and help Nanhua. For your grandfather's sake, and for Nanfei's sake as well.
Luo An stared at the grass in front of him without looking up. After a while, he said, "What kind of accident could happen to you?"
An Liangchen said, "I am just a person, and everyone is subject to the vicissitudes of life. You are a doctor, and you must have seen many sudden deaths."
Indeed, my senior sister was perfectly fine yesterday, and she passed away today. Could anything be more sudden than this?
An Liangchen added, "Since Senior Sister is not here, I will have Senior Brother Su Mu temporarily take over her responsibilities and be fully in charge of the daily affairs of Heaven and Earth."
Su Mu also has the surname Su? What is An Liangchen thinking? Isn't he afraid that he might be another member of the Su family from Nan Yue?
Luo An said, "What, you think you can call the shots at Heaven and Earth?"
Look at you now, you look like a living dead man, what can you possibly do? An Liangchen wanted to retort, but solemnly emphasized: "Temporarily assume the responsibility."
Seeing that Luo An remained silent, An Liangchen added, "When you have the mind to handle the affairs of the manor, you can choose someone else."
Luo An felt somewhat ashamed. He struggled to his feet and limped back home.
An Liangchen also stood up unsteadily. He flicked his sleeves and was thinking that he should go to Moonlight Pool for a bath when he heard a sharp gust of wind.
A cold arrow, like a venomous snake, whizzed past his ear and headed for Luo An's back. Exhausted, Luo An was completely unaware.
An Liangchen used his last bit of strength to leap up and pounce on Luo An like a hungry tiger.
An Liangchen and Luo An were fighting. Jingzhe and the other three could neither pull them apart nor persuade them, nor could they watch. They could only step aside and turn their backs.
By the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late to help. They could only cry out in alarm, "Your Highness!"
During the Lesser Cold and Greater Cold periods, Luo An followed the swaying branches and pulled Luo An out from under An Liangchen. "Young Master, quickly look at His Highness."
When Luo An saw An Liangchen's arm pinned to the ground by a sharp arrow, his sleeve stained with blood, he felt an indescribable rage.
This is Tianxia Medical Clinic, a place for healing the sick and saving lives, and should be the safest and most reassuring place in the world.
But as the head of the World Medical Manor, his senior sister, his wife, and his brothers were all either dead or injured, and the injuries were all right in front of him.
Luo An touched the arrow, breathed a sigh of relief, pulled it out and threw it away: "It got stuck in my clothes."
The arrow tore through his clothes and scraped a large patch of skin on his upper arm, but did not injure any tendons or bones. Luo An first cleaned the wound with wine, then applied layer after layer of wound medicine, and finally wrapped it with fine gauze.
An Liangchen looked at his upper arm, which was bandaged up to a size thicker than his calf, and then at Luo An's crooked hair and tattered clothes, and suddenly laughed.
"You're happy about being injured?" As Luo An tidied up the messy medicine box, he gave a routine instruction like a responsible doctor: "Keep the wound dry, change the dressing on time, eat nutritious food and avoid spicy food, get plenty of rest and don't overexert yourself. If you feel unwell, seek medical attention immediately, don't push yourself."
Luo An handed a large bottle of medicine to Jingzhe: "This is what I prepared. The ingredients are all top-quality, and it works better than the medicine from the Imperial Hospital."
Jingzhe accepted the medicine: "Thank you, young master."
Luo An added, "The Crown Prince's complexion is pale, clearly indicating a deficiency of qi and blood, and insufficient yang energy. I'll prescribe some medicinal meals for you to take back to the Crown Princess and have her supervise the Crown Prince's consumption."
Jingzhe glanced at An Liangchen, but he remained silent and dared not respond.
Luo An picked up his pen and started writing, seemingly without even needing to think. As he wrote, he said, "I will write thirty medicinal diet recipes. One recipe will be eaten every night, and it will last for a month. You won't get tired of eating them in rotation."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Han and Da Han dragged someone in from either side and threw them in front of An Liangchen.
Before An Liangchen could interrogate him, the man confessed in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, spare my life! I was only following orders. His Majesty said that the process of Dongyang unifying the world was interrupted once by his father, and it must not be interrupted by him again..."
An Liangchen was furious and kicked the man hard in the chest: "Nonsense."
The man screamed and his body flew out of the door like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily outside and remaining motionless.
Xiao Han and Da Han chased after him, checked his breathing, stood up and shook their heads at An Liangchen: "Your Highness, he's dead."
An Liangchen was furious and used all his strength, but he didn't expect that the other person couldn't even withstand a single kick.
There is no proof!
Luo An stared at the corpse without saying a word, his whole body turning cold.
An Liangchen's chest heaved, his voice cold and firm: "I will find out the truth and give you an explanation."
Explain? If it was the emperor who gave the order, what could he, as the crown prince, possibly explain?
An Liangchen left, and the room remained quiet for a long time. Luo An slowly lowered his head and saw ink droplets on the paper, blurring a large area and obscuring the medicinal diet recipe he had just written.
