My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 226 - 227 Regret

Chapter 226: Chapter 227 Regret

Bai Wuheng had people carry Ji Shen onto the bed, and when he turned him over, he realized it was the Imperial Physician Ji Shen.

"Ji Shen? How are you?"

"Save me, I’ve been infected with smallpox..." Ji Shen said weakly.

"What?"

Bai Wuheng incredulously checked his pulse, his complexion growing worse by the moment.

This pulse wasn’t normal, and it wasn’t just a common fever...

"Imperial Physician Bai, quick, put on a mask..." Ji Shen strained to remind.

Bai Wuheng looked at the other’s flushed face and the emerging red rash, then thought back to the pulse he just felt.

Could it really be smallpox?

Realizing this, Bai Wuheng hastily put the mask he had just taken off back on.

But thinking about how he had already been in contact with Ji Shen, his face turned pale, and for a moment he was at a loss whether to stay or go.

"Miss Chu, I was looking down on others like a dog earlier, can you save me..." Ji Shen used his last bit of energy to speak to Chu Nanli.

Chu Nanli wasn’t planning on refusing to help to begin with.

"All right, move aside, don’t delay me from saving someone," Chu Nanli said to Bai Wuheng.

Even though Bai Wuheng was somewhat angry, he stepped aside wisely.

He didn’t know how to treat smallpox.

He did want to see how Chu Nanli would treat it and whether it was really her who cured the Imperial Concubine.

"You all can leave now," Chu Nanli said to Bai Wuheng.

She was going to use antibiotics, naturally, she didn’t want outsiders to see.

Bai Wuheng was somewhat unconvinced, "Why, are you afraid of being seen? Could it be that you didn’t cure the Imperial Concubine?"

"Is there someone else here besides me?" Chu Nanli rolled her eyes in exasperation, giving Bai Wuheng a look that was reserved for fools.

Bai Wuheng was left speechless.

"You all hurry and leave, otherwise, if you delay the treatment and something happens to Ji Shen, I will not take responsibility!" Chu Nanli urged.

"Yunting, let’s go!" Bai Wuheng left with a cold snort.

Ye Yunting’s eyes darkened as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t speak and followed Bai Wuheng out.

"All right, close your eyes and rest,"

Chu Nanli said to Ji Shen.

Seeing him hesitate, Chu Nanli reassured, "The Imperial Concubine has been cured by me, don’t worry, you’re not in big trouble."

Hearing Chu Nanli say this, Ji Shen closed his eyes, reassured.

Chu Nanli began administering a fever-reducing injection and antibiotics to him, as well as using some medicine to reduce the red rash.

However, she didn’t painstakingly lance each of the rashes to remove the marks as she did with the Imperial Concubine because some rashes only affect the appearance and aren’t life-threatening.

Not lancing the rashes made the procedure much easier. In just over an hour, Ji Shen’s fever subsided, and he became conscious again.

"Thank you..." Ji Shen sincerely said to Chu Nanli.

At this moment, his forehead was covered with sweat, yet he finally seemed to come back to life, regaining his strength.

He looked at Chu Nanli’s youthful face, filled with surprise and guilt.

"I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have doubted you," Ji Shen said, full of regret.

He had not expected Chu Nanli’s medical skills to be so advanced.

Her medical ethics were also so lofty.

He had just offended her, yet she had treated him without hesitation.

Such magnanimity profoundly impressed Ji Shen.

"Saving you is what I should do," Chu Nanli replied indifferently.

She was a physician, naturally, she wouldn’t disregard a life in need.

Moreover, if she didn’t treat him, it would be even more trouble if he went out and infected others.

Seeing that Chu Nanli did not seek any credit, Ji Shen’s admiration for her deepened even further.

It was no wonder she was so young, yet could be Zhuang Muyan’s master—her realm was indeed lofty!

Ji Shen felt even more regret.

If he hadn’t offended Chu Nanli earlier, perhaps now he could have asked Chu Nanli to be his master!
