Both worlds are like dreams

Chapter 380 There are people that the ghost doctor cannot save

After Xuehuang returned to the princess's mansion, she locked herself in her room, practicing martial arts all day long.

Even when Rong Yu asked her to go out, she was unwilling to go out.

Until one day when they were practicing sword in the yard, Murong Hen jumped over the wall to find her.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Have you forgotten me?"

"I thought Master Murong had already left Shangyang City."

"You want me to leave so badly!"

"No. It's your freedom to go or stay."

Murong Hen came to her and asked, "Why do you seem unhappy?"

"No."

"Why don't we go have a drink, or I'll take you out to play. I've discovered a lot of fun places in Shangyang City these days."

Xue Huang didn't say anything.

Murong Hen seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, "Sorry, I forgot that you are married."

"That's fine. I have a few jars of good wine here, which I'd like to give to Master Murong as a token of my gratitude."

"You're welcome."

Xue Huang ordered someone to bring the wine. Murong Hen just smelled it and praised it as a good wine.

She wanted to drink with him, but then the maid came and reported that Zhao Manqing wanted to see her.

Xue Huang was a little surprised, as they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

He immediately asked someone to invite her in, only to find that she looked haggard, as if she had not had a good rest for a long time.

She looked hurried, and when she saw Xue Huang she quickened her pace and bowed deeply.

"Princess, I have something to ask of you."

"Hurry up and get up," Xue Huang quickly helped her up, "Just tell me if there's anything."

"My grandfather is seriously ill. I have invited all the famous doctors in Shangyang City, but they are all helpless. I heard from Princess Xingyue before that she knows a doctor with superb medical skills, so I came to beg the princess, can you introduce him to me?"

"Okay." Xue Huang patted her hands, "I'll send someone to pass the message right away."

Zhao Manqing got a positive answer and breathed a sigh of relief. She almost fainted. "Thank you, Princess."

"Are you okay? Why do you look so grim?"

"I'm fine..." Zhao Manqing said as she was about to leave, "I still have to go accompany my grandfather."

"I'm worried about you like this. I'll take you back." Xue Huang supported her, "Master Murong, I'm sorry for not treating you well."

"Human lives are at stake. If there's anything I can do for you, just let me know."

"Then please do me a favor, Mr. Murong. Go to Jinxiu Tower to find my second uncle and ask Doctor Dongfang to rush to Taifu Zhao's mansion as soon as possible."

"I will definitely live up to your trust." Murong Hen left quickly.

"Don't worry, they will be here soon."

Xue Huang followed Zhao Manqing to the Zhao Mansion. Murong Hen also moved quickly. As soon as their carriage stopped at the door, he and Dongfang Cong rushed over.

"Please, sir, please save my grandfather's life." Zhao Manqing pleaded hurriedly.

"There is no time to lose. Let me see the patient first." Dongfang Cong said.

Zhao Manqing quickly led them into Master Zhao's room, and they smelled a strong smell of medicine before they got close.

Dongfang Cong frowned slightly, but did not say anything. Instead, he went straight to check the pulse of Master Zhao who was lying on the bed dying.

Xue Huang was a little surprised. It was not the first time she had met Master Zhao. She did not expect that in such a short period of time, he would become so sick.

Even someone like Xue Huang, who was not particularly knowledgeable about medicine, could see that he was already on his last legs and there was probably no cure.

But she couldn't bear to say it out loud, and could only put her hope in Dongfang Cong, perhaps he still had a way.

After a while, Dongfang Cong withdrew his hand, looked at Xue Huang, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Xue Huang immediately understood what he meant, and there was nothing he could do.

Zhao Manqing held back her grief and said, "Doctor, my grandfather..."

"The end is near. This is fate. No medicine can cure it."

Xue Huang said, "Is there nothing we can do?"

"I can use drugs to keep his spirits up and make him suffer less, but this body is already old and there is nothing I can do to save it."

Dongfang Cong has always been the one who snatched people from the hands of the King of Hell, but he has no way to reverse his lifespan. This body is already exhausted and there is no room for recovery.
