He killed someone, she finished him off, even the crazy Marquis was shocked

Chapter 8 Xiahou Su, will not live for more than one year

"I know, but this is exactly what I want. I have been lonely since I was a child, and my mother died early. Zhu Xiangyun has always bullied and provoked me, and Li Guangyao has always turned a blind eye. I have been careful and cautious, but even so, they still did not let me go and forced me to come and poison the young marquis. I also know that if this succeeds, they will benefit and I will be abandoned. I had no choice before, but now, I want to fight for myself once."

Li Siwan thought again and again that if she wanted to stay in the Marquis' Mansion, she had to break with the Shangshu Mansion, and the situation must be a fight to the death. Only then would she have the motivation to surrender.

Her life experience and what Xiahou Su saw last night made her words more convincing.

Xiahou Su looked at her with deep eyes, "Then what do you want me to do?"

"I want the entire Shangshu Mansion to be no longer a threat to me."

"If you surrender to me, you can keep yourself safe, but I am curious about why you want to kill me when the Shangshu Mansion has no grudges or interests with me?"

"It's not the Shangshu Mansion that wants to kill the young marquis, but the people behind the young marquis."

"who is it?"

Seeing the interest in Xiahou Su's eyes, Li Siwan was a little hesitant.

Given the friendship between Xiahou Su and Song Qiyu, if she mentioned Song Qiyu, he would probably think she was trying to instigate something!

After thinking for a while, Li Siwan shook his head and said, "I don't know who is behind this. I only know that this is all his conspiracy. Li Guangyao cooperated with him. His purpose is to seize the military power of Zhenyuan Army after overthrowing the Marquis' Mansion."

Li Siwan had concerns, but to Xiahou Su, these words sounded like a protection for Song Qiyu.

It's true that they are deeply in love!

A mocking smile appeared on Xiahou Su's lips, but he did not expose her.

"I will assume that what you said is true, and I will also believe that you really want to join me. Now let's go back to the original question. What qualifications do you have to ask me to protect you?"

"There are two reasons. First, my identity is beneficial to the young marquis. They want to use me, and so do you. When the two of them are at war, intelligence is the most important thing. As a middleman, the intelligence I pass on can determine the success or failure of the duel. I am the young marquis's man, and the young marquis is invincible."

After Li Siwan finished speaking, he looked at Xiahou Su and stretched out his hand. "Secondly, I know medical skills, and I am confident that my medical skills are very superb. The young marquis has been injured in the battlefield for many years, and I can heal you. There are also rumors of a curse on the marquis' mansion... Maybe I can give it a try."

Li Siwan hesitated to speak. After all, it was not a good idea for her, an outsider, to talk about this matter.

There are four branches in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. Xiahou Su's father is the legitimate wife, and the other three branches are the descendants of the late old marquis's half-brothers, that is, Xiahou Su's cousins.

The four families coexisted in harmony, but Xiahou Su was the only child of his generation. The other three families still had no children even though they were over 40 or 50 years old.

As time went by, rumors began to spread that the Marquis' Mansion was cursed to have no descendants because of the excessive killing.

Li Siwan didn't believe it, thinking that all diseases have their source.

When talking about family matters, Xiahou Su's expression darkened. "Let's not talk about the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion. It's not your turn to ask. Just considering my illness, the Imperial Hospital is helpless. Why do you think you can cure it?"

"With my medical skills, if I can't cure the young marquis within a year, you will kill me!"

Li Siwan was confident in his medical skills, but he was not completely sure that he could cure Xiahou Su.

The reason why she was so confident was that within a year, everything that was supposed to happen would happen. If she could save the Marquis' Mansion, she would have completed her mission. By then, no matter whether Xiahou Su died of illness or not, she could escape and live well.

Otherwise, we will all die together, and it doesn’t matter whether we can be cured or not.

What she really needed was to stay in the Marquis' Mansion for a year.

Xiahou Su couldn't see any flaws in Li Siwan's expression, so he put his hand to one side.

"I have never heard that Miss Li knows medical skills, but I am willing to give you this opportunity."

Understanding what Xiahou Su meant, Li Si reached out and took Xiahou Su's pulse before going to bed.

After carefully checking the pulse, Li Siwan couldn't help but frown.

She originally thought that Xiahou Su was just weak due to some old illness, but she didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to live even for a year.

In other words, even if Song Qi Yu did not take action, Xiahou Su would return to dust soon.

Seeing Li Siwan's expression, Xiahou Su frowned, "You can see that I don't have much time, but I do have some skills. Even so, do you still want to continue what you just said?"

Li Siwan withdrew his hand, his eyes firm.

"Yes, I still stick to what I said and I will cure you."

"It's easy to say, but it's not that easy to snatch someone from the King of Hell."

"The young marquis has many old illnesses, and all his five internal organs are damaged, so that his qi and blood are deficient, and his body is half collapsed, but these are not big problems. As long as I treat him and he recuperates, even if he cannot recover as before, it will not be a big problem. The young marquis' biggest problem is the wound on his heart."

After these words were spoken, Xiahou Su's expression changed slightly.

There were many people claiming to be miracle doctors who treated him, but she was the third one who could actually see his fatal illness.

Seeing that Xiahou Su didn't say anything, Li Siwan continued, "When I was in Fengxue Garden, I saw the scar on the young marquis' chest. It should be left by the arrow feather. From the pulse, I can see that although the arrow feather was taken out, there are still some fragments left inside. If I'm not mistaken, the tip of the arrow should have been poisoned."

What Li Siwan said was all correct.

The battle was tense at the time, and there was no time for careful treatment after being shot by an arrow. He pulled out the arrow with his bare hands, simply stopped the bleeding, and continued to return to the battlefield. Although the toxicity was controlled later, Director Han said that as long as the fragment was still in the body, the poison could not be cleared, and the fragment itself would take his life.

"Since you know the cause of the disease, do you still want to be buried with me?"

"I will not be buried with you, because I can remove the fragments for the young marquis and completely detoxify him."

"How to get it?"

"Open-heart surgery."

Xiahou Su's eyes darkened, and besides being shocked, there was even a hint of desire to live in his eyes.

Open the chest. He had heard Director Han talk about this method before.

But the difficulty and chance of survival are extremely low.

And so far, no one has ever heard of anyone succeeding.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Of course not. I am confident that I can succeed, but..."

Li Siwan paused and said, "I can't do it alone, I need help. I see that the young marquis' pulse is now stable and the toxins are well suppressed. I think there must be a medical expert around him. I would like to ask the young marquis to relay what I said. First, you can know whether what I said is true or false. Second, if you really want to open the chest in the future, you will need the help of this expert."

After that, Li Siwan thought for a while and said, "In addition, I need to make a batch of special tools. Young Marquis has a wide network of contacts. After I draw the blueprint, I will ask Young Marquis to find the best craftsmen to make them."

Li Siwan's words were so thoughtful that Xiahou Su couldn't find anything to complain about.

Looking at her serious face, Xiahou Su felt a little dazed. The person in front of him seemed like two completely different people from the one in his memory.

It seems that my previous understanding of her was too superficial.

What's worse, even if I had those memories, I only saw the surface of her.

"If what you said is true, when will I be able to remove the fragments?"

"Young Marquis, the limit is one year. At the latest, it will be ten months later, and at the earliest, it will be three months later. Because right now, Young Marquis' body cannot withstand the intensity of the surgery, he needs three months of recuperation first."

Seeing Xiahou Su hesitate, Li Siwan nodded and saluted, "Young Marquis, I am willing to guarantee it with my life. If it fails, I will go to hell with you. If it succeeds, please let me leave the Marquis' Mansion after the dust settles. From now on, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and I will be free."

The look in Xiahou Su's eyes was complicated and surging.

After a long time, he let out a sigh.

"I will trust you for now. There is a medicine house to the west of the courtyard. You can go there and use it yourself."

After saying that, he glanced at Wu Shang, who understood and stepped forward, "Miss Li, please follow me."

Xiahou Su must need time to digest and consider such huge information, so Li Siwan didn't say anything more and followed Wu Shang out.

Take a deep breath, this first step has been successful.

The next step is to ensure that he and the Marquis's family remain safe and sound within a year.

Of course, the chest-opening incident is also true.

But in this era and environment, with a shortage of medicines and equipment, it is hard to predict the outcome.

Li Siwan walked towards the medicine house with a worried look on his face, while Xiahou Su in the room also had a worried look on his face.

After Wu Shang came back, Xiahou Su said, "Ask Han Chu to come over later."

"I have already sent someone to invite her. Young Marquis, do you really want to trust Miss Li?"

"Do not believe."

"Then you still..."

"I have a new plan. Using her is indeed more useful than killing her. Moreover...if what she said is true..."

There were waves surging in Xiahou Su's eyes, that was the desire to live.

Who doesn’t want to live!

There were footsteps outside and Wu Yu walked in quickly.

"Oh no, young marquis, the imperial edict has arrived."

"The imperial decree has been issued at this moment, so act quickly!"

"Yes, in just one night, everyone in Kyoto knew about your relationship with Miss Li. The Fourth Prince asked for permission, and the Emperor issued an imperial decree to grant the marriage. The eunuch who sent the decree is already outside the door."

Xiahou Su sneered, stood up and straightened his clothes.

Then he walked out quickly.

"Alright."
