In just one night, Chu Zhen looked several years older, and he looked like he was about to fall down at any time as he stood in front of the corridor.

"Your eldest brother...can't accept this result. He's in a bad mood right now. Anyone who goes to see him will be in trouble. You don't have to go."

Chu Runxue's eyes were red: "Doctor Chen is a very good doctor. Maybe there is still hope for brother's legs."

"The imperial physician in the palace has already come to see me. Could it be that the doctors outside the palace are better than those in the palace?"

"There are always people better than you, father. One more doctor means one more hope, right? If Doctor Chen is not good enough, I will travel to the ends of the earth to find a good doctor for you. I will never let you never stand up again in your life!"

Chu Zhen looked at the girl in front of him. She was only fifteen years old, with red eyes and nose, and an extremely sincere expression.

If Chu Heyi had not analyzed the situation with them in advance, he would have been deceived by Chu Runxue's appearance at this moment.

She brought the doctor with her, not because she really wanted to save her brother's legs, but because she wanted to confirm whether her brother really lost his legs!

Chu Ni advised her: "Your elder brother doesn't want to see anyone now!"

"Father, I brought the doctor with me to treat his legs and give him hope. And as his younger sister, I should also go and comfort him. Please let me see my brother. It will be hard for me if I can't see him."

As Chu Runxue spoke, tears began to fall.

"It's not that I don't want you to go, but your eldest brother can't accept the fact that he lost his legs. He is very irritable and doesn't even want to see me as his father."

Chu Runxue asked, "Brother, have you not eaten much since last night? What should we do if this continues? Father, let me go and persuade brother! Even if I can't cure his legs, it would be good to comfort his heart."

Chu Zhen had a painful expression on his face, and after a while he said, "Since you are so interested, go and have a look. It would be good if you can persuade him to eat something."

"Father, I will do my best."

Chu Runxue took Doctor Chen to Chu Yi's yard.

In late spring and early summer, the wind always carries warmth, but at this moment in Chu Yi's yard, it felt like the coldest time of the year. The servants serving here all had solemn expressions or were trembling with fear.

When Chu Runxue arrived at the door, she was stopped by the guard Ding Sheng: "Miss, the general is in a bad mood right now and won't see anyone. You'd better not go in. I'm afraid that the general will get mad and it will be bad for you."

Faintly, Chu Runxue heard voices coming from inside the house, which seemed to be Chu Heyi's voice.

She sneered in her heart. Chu Heyi had only been back to Zhenbei Marquis Mansion for half a month, and she could accompany her elder brother to talk inside. Why couldn't she? In her elder brother's mind, she was much more important than Chu Heyi.

"Brother Ding Sheng, please don't worry. I know how to handle the situation when I go to see you. If he gets angry with me, I'll come out right away."

How could she feel at ease if she didn't personally bring a doctor to see Chu Ni and confirm whether Chu Ni's legs were disabled?

"Besides, I seem to hear the voice of sister Heyi talking inside? Although I am not of the Chu family's bloodline, big brother will always be my big brother. Please don't stop me, big brother Ding Sheng."

Ding Sheng pursed his lips, and finally said helplessly: "In this case, please let Miss go in, but if the general goes crazy, please protect yourself."

The door opened, and Chu Runxue brought Doctor Chen into Chu Yu's room.

Just as he turned the corner, he saw a bowl flying towards him and breaking at his feet. Then he heard Chu Ni angrily say, "I don't want to eat! Get out!"

Chu Runxue looked over and found that it was Chu Heyi who was persuading Chu Ni to eat, but the bowl was smashed by Chu Ni.

At this moment, Chu Heyi's face was pale and he didn't know what to do.

Chu Runxue walked around the broken pieces of the porcelain bowl and came to the bedside. Tears started to flow before she could even open her mouth.

"Miss Chu, let me take a look at the general's legs." Doctor Chen reminded her.

Chu Runxue finally wiped away her tears. "Brother, my heart almost broke when I heard the news about you. You have done so much for the Chu family and Daqi, but God is so cruel to you that he made you lose your legs..."

She squatted down beside Chu Yi and held his hand. "God is cruel, so I will fight against God and save your legs! I specially invited Doctor Chen to treat you. If he can't do it, I will go to the ends of the earth to find a famous doctor for you until you get better."

Chu Yu's eyes slid from her face to Doctor Chen's face, and he sneered, "Even the imperial physicians are helpless with my legs. How dare he, a quack doctor, say he can cure my legs?"

Chu Runxue wiped the tears from her face and said, "Brother, it doesn't hurt to try."

Chu Yi didn't say anything, but just looked at Doctor Chen coldly. Doctor Chen stood there for a long time, and then looked at Chu Runxue.

Chu Runxue nodded slightly: "Doctor Chen, please take a look at my brother."

Doctor Chen put down the medicine box, walked to the bed, and wanted to lift Chu Yi's quilt to check his legs.

But suddenly, Chu Ni pulled out a long sword from the side of the bed and cut Doctor Chen's neck with one sword.

Bright red blood spurted out, splashing onto the quilt and onto Chu Runxue's fair cheeks.

Doctor Chen's eyes were wide open, but before he could utter a word, he collapsed and was no longer breathing.

"I'm already a cripple, but he actually wants to take a closer look at how crippled I am. He deserves to die!" Chu Yu's eyes were red, and he said angrily: "Get out, all of you get out! If anyone invites a doctor to laugh at me again, I'll kill one person for each one, and I'll kill two people for each one!"

"Brother, calm down. We are leaving now and we will never call a doctor again."

As Chu Heyi spoke, he retreated toward the door and pulled Chu Runxue with him.

"Brother, no matter what you become, in Heyi's eyes, you will always be a hero. Brother, you can hurt others, but please don't hurt yourself."

Chu Heyi begged cautiously, then pulled Chu Runxue and walked out of the room step by step.

Only after he could no longer see the blood in front of him did Chu Runxue hesitantly say, "Brother killed Doctor Chen. He killed Doctor Chen on the spot."

Chu Heyi said, "After those doctors left last night, my brother never wanted to see any doctor again. You brought Doctor Chen here when my brother was heartbroken. It really hurt him too much. It's not my brother's fault."

As he said that, he asked Ding Sheng to go in and deal with the bodies inside.

Chu Runxue wiped her face with her fingertips, which were immediately stained with blood, bright red. She even remembered the feeling when the hot blood sprayed on her face.

That’s good. The fact that Chu Ni went so crazy proves that his legs are really beyond saving.

A person would only become so furious if he was severely provoked.

For Chu Yi, who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, losing his legs was more serious than taking his life.

Chu Runxue had tears in her eyes, but her tongue quietly licked the blood at the corner of her mouth. It tasted fishy and sweet.
