Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: Da Qiao doesn't want to be a widow anymore

Chapter 352 Qiao Rong Arrives
The day after Qiao Wei sent out the letter, news came from Hua Tuo that Zhou Yu had vomited blood and fallen into a coma again. This time, the illness was more severe than ever before.

Zhou Yu didn't know how long he had been unconscious. He only felt as if he were in an abyss, unable to escape the darkness before his eyes. In his hazy state, he seemed to hear a lot of noise.

He tried to discern the truth but could not, and then fell into a deep sleep again.

When he regained some consciousness, he felt a series of sharp pains in his body. He struggled to open his eyes, but his body felt as if it were not his own, and he could not muster any strength.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp pain shot through his hand. He forced his eyelids open with the help of the pain, and through his blurred vision, he saw a familiar figure by the bed, holding a thin acupuncture needle, about to place the last needle on the acupoints on his body.

Zhang Di, standing behind him, couldn't help but praise, "Your acupuncture skills have become quite proficient."

Qiao Rong was not complacent. He looked at Dr. Zhang's elder brother, the legendary physician Zhang Ji (Zhang Zhongjing), and Hua Tuo and said, "It is thanks to the two physicians for their hard work and willingness to teach me."

Zhang Di showed a satisfied and appreciative expression.

Even if Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo were willing to provide guidance, Qiao Rong would still need to be willing to learn, practice, and have the aptitude to succeed.

Qiao Rong tidied up the needle case and then patiently waited for Zhou Yu's reaction.

About half an hour later, Madam Gu's joyful voice rang out, "He's awake! He's awake! The General has woken up!"

His eyelids felt as heavy as if a thousand pounds of molten lead had been poured into them. He opened and closed them repeatedly, and after a long while, his consciousness slowly returned.

"Rong'er?" Like a rusty copper lock that hadn't been opened for a long time, Zhou Yu opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound. Only Gu Shi, who was closest to him, heard his soft and dry call.

"General, it's the young lady who has come to see you."

Zhou Yu raised his hand, trembling, trying to grab Qiao Rong.

Qiao Rong lowered her eyes and took a step back, inviting the physicians Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji to come forward to examine Zhou Yu's condition and consider how to adjust the subsequent prescription.

Zhou Yu stared intently at the beautiful figure, afraid that if he closed his eyes, she would disappear again. Qiao Rong, on the other hand, lowered her eyes, completely avoiding Zhou Yu's gaze, and focused on listening to Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing's discussion.

After the two doctors finished their consultation, he got up to report the patient's condition to Sun Quan.

Qiao Rong was about to leave the camp with Zhang Di, but after glancing back and forth between Zhou Yu and Qiao Rong for a while, Zhang Di suddenly stopped Qiao Rong from leaving.

"Young lady, please stay and take care of the Central Protector General. Although his condition has improved somewhat, he still needs someone with medical knowledge to keep an eye on things."

Qiao Rong did not answer immediately, but looked at Zhang Di with a puzzled expression.

Zhang Di nodded slightly to her, indicating once again that she should stay.

Qiao Rong ultimately said nothing and turned back into her tent.

Zhou Yu only woke up briefly for an hour before falling back into a deep sleep.

Gu Lingyun's eyes reddened. If he continued to sleep like this, Zhou Yu's day of rectum would not be far off.

Qiao Rong whispered, "People with illnesses are naturally prone to sleepiness. This is part of the body's self-recovery process. Madam Gu, please don't worry too much. With Doctor Zhang and Doctor Hua here, you will get better."

Gu Lingyun didn't know anything about medicine, but at this moment she could only use these words to comfort herself.

Late at night, Qiao Rong left the tent under the pretext of preparing medicine, but hid in a secluded spot behind the pharmacy, lost in thought.

Qiao Rong felt Zhou Yu's pulse and understood that with such a pulse, no amount of medicine could help delay the inevitable.

The words he said to Gu Lingyun, though meant to comfort her, were more like self-deception.

Even though she harbored resentment towards Zhou Yu, seeing him again, especially seeing him lying emaciated on the bed awaiting death, still stirred her emotions. She felt both annoyed and sad, her chest feeling as if it were filled with sour dates, a throbbing and astringent pain.

A gentle breeze carrying a fragrance drew near, and Qiao Rong looked up, "Sister..."

Qiao Wei sat down gently beside her, letting Qiao Rong lean on her legs and sob. She simply patted Qiao Rong's shoulder gently, just as she always had.

Qiao Rong did not actually come after receiving Qiao Rong's letter.

She had been in Runan since early morning. She had traveled to Runan with Zhang Di, and since she hadn't gone to see Sun An off when she got married, she thought she should send a gift and visit Sun An now that she was in Runan.

Unexpectedly, he learned from Sun An that Zhou Yu was in critical condition.

Zhang Di was aware of the entanglement between Qiao Rong and Zhou Yu, and wrote to his elder brother Zhang Ji, asking him to come and treat Qiao Rong.

"Sister, am I really useless?"

I had already made up my mind to say goodbye to the past and not shed tears for it anymore.

But I still can't help but cry.

"Humans are not plants or trees, how can they be without feelings?"

Especially someone you've genuinely loved and given your heart to.

"Sister, I don't want him to die."

Tears streamed down her face, dripping onto Qiao Wei's skirt and seeping into the fabric, carrying a chill with them.

Suddenly, a cool touch was placed in her palm. Qiao Rong was slightly startled, but when she looked down, she found a small jar in her hand.

"This is……?"

Qiao Wei pursed her lips and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "This is the dried-up stream water that Yu Ji used to treat illnesses and save lives. Before the dried-up stream dried up, the last bit of water was collected, which was originally intended for emergency rescue and life-saving."

If you really can't bear to part with him, you can try adding this water to his medicine; it might save his life.

Qiao Wei nearly lost her life after giving birth. In order to recover as quickly as possible, she used one of the jars of medicine and mixed it into her daily drinking water several times. Sure enough, she recovered very quickly.

With Zhou Yu so seriously ill, Qiao Wei couldn't bear to see Qiao Rong so heartbroken. Besides, Zhou Yu was still of great use to Jiangdong, so Qiao Wei sent Youxuan to Jingkou to fetch the jar of dried stream water.

This dry stream water is most effective for healing internal injuries. Now Zhou Yu's condition is fluctuating and his fever is difficult to subside, which is a condition caused by wound infection, so it can be considered the right treatment.

Qiao Rong gripped the jar in her hand, pondered for a moment, then understood Qiao Wei's meaning and hurriedly pushed the jar back to Qiao Wei.

"Sister...this is what you used to save your life, I can't take it..."

"I'm perfectly fine now, aren't I? Besides, I can't bear to see you sad. Take it. I'm not sure if this dried stream water will work for him. It's just a try."

But you mustn't tell anyone about this.

Yu Ji's involvement in Sun Ce's death was a taboo subject that neither Sun Quan nor Zhou Yu could discuss.

Moreover, matters of magic are inherently difficult to discern from the supernatural. If someone with ulterior motives were to discover that Qiao Wei still possessed the dried stream water, it would likely cause even more trouble.

Qiao Rong bit her lower lip, unable to make a decision. Qiao Wei stood up and made the decision for her, "Go!"

Do you remember the origin of Yu Ji and Ganxi River?
