When Lu Tingxu was carried back by Ming Mo, the whole mansion was shocked. When Marquis Lu and Xiao rushed over, they saw Lu Tingxu lying on the bed with a pale face and unconscious.

"What happened? How did it become like this?" Xiao questioned Ming Mo.

When Lin Wan rushed over with the court doctor, she was also shocked by Lu Tingxu's appearance. After hearing what Xiao said, she hurried to her side and gently supported her arm.

Ming Mo told everyone everything that happened tonight, and everyone in the room fell silent.

Finally, it was Lin Wan who broke the strange silence and said to the court doctor standing by, "Doctor Mou, please help the prince first."

Doctor Mou stepped forward to check Lu Tingxu's pulse, and soon said to Marquis Lu and the other two, "The prince was very angry, but fortunately he has vomited out the blocked blood, so it will be fine. He will wake up soon."

After thinking about it, he felt that the psychological pain from this kind of thing should be more serious, but he had no other way to deal with it. "I will prescribe a prescription to calm your mind and give it to you for a few days. But... you still have to calm down yourself."

After saying this, he went out with the medicine box without waiting for instructions.

Only Lu Hou and his wife, Lin Wan and Lu Tingxu were left in the room. The room fell silent for a while, and none of the three spoke again. They just waited quietly for Lu Tingxu to wake up.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Tingxu slowly opened his eyes and continued to remain in a dazed state. He lay on the bed with a dull look in his eyes and remained silent, like a stone sculpture.

Xiao sat on the bed, patted him gently, and said softly: "It's all over..."

"Why? Why? Mother, why are you so cruel!"

"What……"

Lu Tingxu turned his head without even looking at Xiao, brushed her hand away, and said coldly: "From childhood to adulthood, I have never disobeyed you and father. The only thing is that I like Yue'er. Why, why did you use such a cruel method to push her away from me!"

Xiao was so angry at his words that her whole body started shaking, and she was a little unsteady sitting on the bed. Seeing this, Lord Lu hurried forward to support her.

"Rebellious son, what do you mean by we pushed her away? We told her to run away with that Meng guy, didn't we? You talk to your mother like this for a woman, where is your filial piety?"

Lu Tingxu's expression changed slightly when he heard Lord Lu's angry scolding. He remembered Ye Shiyue's enthusiasm and initiative in Meng Yucheng's arms, as well as Meng Yucheng's provocative words. He sat up suddenly and yelled at Xiao:

"If you hadn't sent her away, how could she have..."

Xiao looked at the son whom she had risked her life to give birth to, the son whom she had thought about day and night on the battlefield. She felt that she had always felt indebted to her son for not giving him enough company. Now, in front of her, he was yelling at her with a fierce face. He was scolding and questioning herself just for a fickle, vain woman.

At this moment, she felt as if she was back on the battlefield, standing alone under the enemy's sword, letting the long sword shining with cold light pierce into her heart.

"Mother!" Lin Wan screamed in horror, and saw Xiao's face as pale as gold paper, blood slowly flowing from the corners of her mouth, and she fell on her back in Lu Hou's arms.

"Jin Huan, wake up. Where is the palace doctor? Send someone to the palace to find the imperial physician!" Marquis Lu picked up Xiao and said repeatedly.

Seeing Xiao's state, Lu Tingxu was also frightened, and hurriedly got up from the bed and rushed over to help. However, he was slapped in the face by Lu Hou, and the whole person was knocked to the ground, looking at the person in front of him in disbelief.

"Rebellious son, rebellious son! If anything happens to your mother, I...I..." Lord Lu stared at him intently. He was so angry that he wanted to kill him, but he couldn't say the words.

Lin Wan carried Xiao out of the yard, looked at Lu Tingxu who was sitting on the ground in a daze, and rushed out without any hesitation.

After the imperial physician's diagnosis, he said that Xiao's health was completely broken. Although it was not fatal, she had to take good care of herself in the future and could not do any more overwork or stress. If she took good care of herself, she could slowly recover some of her vitality. Otherwise, her life span might be shortened.

This scared both Lord Lu and Lin Wan. Xiao had always been strong and energetic. When she was young, she was good at swordplay and archery. Her health was much better than those ladies who stayed in their rooms all day. It was so serious all of a sudden. Not to mention Lin Wan, the new daughter-in-law, even Lord Lu, the man beside her, couldn't accept it for a while.

"How could this happen?" Lord Lu asked in disbelief.

The imperial physician shook his head. "Madam injured her body during childbirth when she was young, and she didn't rest and recuperate afterwards. She kept suppressing these minor illnesses and pains, and they accumulated into a big one. Now they all broke out. And from my observation of Madam's pulse, she should be taking medicine to regulate her body. But it is almost impossible to eradicate the accumulated illness from a young age, and now... Alas!"

Lord Lu, who was standing nearby, couldn't help shaking when he heard this. He felt extremely guilty as he looked at his wife lying on the bed.

When Lu Tingxu was born, he was premature and it took two days to be born. The imperial physician said at the time that he was in poor health and needed to be nursed for at least a year. But less than half a year later, the border was in danger and he was ordered to go to the frontier. Despite her own health, Xiao insisted on accompanying him to the border.

They stayed there for three years, and when they came back, their son didn't recognize them anymore. Xiao always felt guilty about this, and felt sorry for her son. She had always given in to him all these years. She wanted to arrange everything for him, and it was because of her doting that she completely collapsed when she saw Lu Tingxu being hurt by love and being blamed and questioned.

Seeing Lord Lu holding the table with one hand and covering his chest with the other, Lin Wan was shocked. If Xiao had an old illness, then Lord Lu's health would be even worse.

"Imperial Physician, please take a look at the Marquis as well." Lin Wan bowed to the imperial physician.

The imperial physician saw that Lord Lu's face looked bad, so he hurriedly asked him to sit down and stretched out his hand to feel his pulse.

After a while, the doctor said with a grim expression: "My Lord, I don't need to say much about your health. You know it well. Although the injuries you suffered in the past few years have healed, there are still sequelae. You must pay attention!"

Marquis Lu waved his hands and thanked him. He asked Lin Wan to take the imperial physician to prescribe medicine, while he and Xiao Shi sat and lay quietly in the room.

Lin Wan sent the imperial physician away and took Gao Mama to arrange for the servants to boil medicine. Now that the whole family was full of patients, Lin Wan felt that her burden was even heavier.

"Young Madam, don't worry. The Marquis was injured several times on the battlefield before. After he came back, the palace arranged for imperial doctors to treat him. They are all old illnesses. As long as he takes good care of himself, he will be fine." Seeing that Lin Wan was worried, Madam Gao took the initiative to explain.

"Madam's health has been taken care of by the palace doctor. She was afraid that the Marquis and the prince would worry, so she kept it a secret. This time she was just angry. Fortunately, you are here to support her, so she can have a good rest. When you and the prince are well in the future, and there are two more young masters and young ladies, Madam will be even better!"

Lin Wan knew that Gao Mama was trying to comfort her, so she smiled and thanked her. Seeing that everything was arranged, she asked Gao Mama to send someone to look for her if she had any problems, and she went to see Lu Tingxu first.
