Chapter 717: Chapter 645, Grandmother’s Love_1

After the Lantern Festival, Madam Yan also came to Taohua Temple to help Daohua take care of Grandma Gu.

"Older sister, you need to ease your mind, Gu Master will be back in a few days, with Yeyang by his side, he surely won’t encounter any trouble," repeated Madam Yan, comforting the increasingly frail Grandma Gu again and again.

Every time, Grandma Gu would smile and nod, but the worry in her brows never left.

Seeing this, Daohua was filled with anxiety and helplessness; she had already tried several prescriptions, but Grandma Gu’s illness had not improved in the slightest.

"This is a sickness of the heart, unless your master returns, she will continue to worry," said Madam Yan.

Upon hearing this, Daohua sent Wang Manman back to Ningmen Prefecture once more to send another letter to Xiao Yeyang.

Caiju and Dongli also sent letters to Beijing secretly every three to five days.

Amid everyone’s great anticipation, on the first day of the second lunar month, Gu Jian and Xiao Yeyang finally returned.

"Sister, I’m back!"

As soon as he returned, Gu Jian rushed to Grandma Gu’s bedside and seeing his sister, who looked emaciated, he felt his heart wrenching in pain.

When Grandma Gu saw Gu Jian, her eyes suddenly brightened, and her usually weak hands erupted with great strength, tightly grasping Gu Jian: "Xiaowu... Xiaowu..."

Gu Jian quickly reassured her, "Don’t worry, he’s fine, he’s fine."

Hearing this, the worry that had nestled between Grandma Gu’s brows for more than a month dissipated, and everyone watched her smile genuinely, "If he’s fine, that’s good, that’s good."

As she spoke, she began to cough violently.

Seeing this, Gu Jian hurried to help her up, patting her back to help her breath.

"Pfft—"

Bright red blood spurted from Grandma Gu’s mouth, harshly striking Gu Jian’s eyes.

Looking at his master, who seemed to be unable to accept what was happening, Daohua quickly took over Grandma Gu from him, swiftly pressing a few acupoints to stop her coughing.

Grandma Gu’s breathing eased, and her gaze swept to Xiao Yeyang standing on the side, instinctively reaching out to him.

Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang quickly came forward to hold Grandma Gu’s hand, saying with concern, "Grandma, we’re back."

Grandma Gu smiled and nodded, her eyes filled with relief: "Good."

Perhaps because the worry she had carried in her heart was resolved, Grandma Gu’s expression gradually relaxed, and before long, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Daohua carefully helped her back down to lie down.

Meanwhile, Gu Jian had recovered from the initial shock, quickly stepped forward to examine Grandma Gu’s condition, and after taking her pulse, his face turned white as he muttered, "How could this be?" _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

Daohua said with a face full of self-reproach, "Master, it’s my fault for not taking good care of Grandma."

Gu Jian shook his head: "It has nothing to do with you." After saying that, he closed his eyes in agony. After a while, he opened his eyes, waved his hand, and said, "You all go down, I want to accompany my sister for a while."

Hearing this, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang exchanged a glance and silently left the room.

...

Once outside the room, Daohua pulled Xiao Yeyang aside and asked, "With so many Imperial Physicians in Beijing, why did you have to call Master away?"

Xiao Yeyang replied, "I never intended to have Gu Master go to Beijing." It was the Imperial Uncle who personally requested Gu Master to enter Beijing.

Daohua was taken aback: "Then why did you bring Master to Beijing?"

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua, "I cannot speak of it now."

Looking at him, Daohua said, "Do you know that Grandma fell ill as soon as you left, and despite all my efforts, I couldn’t stabilize her condition."

Seeing the exhaustion and urgency on Daohua’s face, Xiao Yeyang placed his hand on her shoulder and earnestly said, "Don’t worry, now that Gu Master has returned, Grandma will be alright."

Doubt appeared on Daohua’s face: "Will Grandma really be alright?"

Xiao Yeyang confidently nodded, "She will definitely be."

Daohua sighed; having followed her master these past two years, her medical skills had indeed improved, but she was not so optimistic about Grandma Gu’s illness.
