A female coroner arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chapter 301 No Marriage Without Death!
"Blood stasis syndrome".

Jin Zesheng withdrew his hand from taking his pulse and said, "When blood accumulates and stagnates in the blood vessels of the brain, it can cause insufficient blood supply to the brain. You are young now and only have memory impairment, but as the blood stasis compresses for a longer period of time, other symptoms will appear one after another, and it may even lead to other serious diseases that endanger your life."

"Physician Jin, please treat him quickly!" Song Shuyu's voice changed with urgency. "He must be cured, he absolutely must be cured, there can be no mistakes!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Zesheng's expression grew even more grave. "The cost of treatment is extremely high. Shuyu, are you sure you want to undergo treatment?"

"Confirmed!" Song Shuyu replied without hesitation.

Kim Je-sung hesitated and said, "It will bankrupt you!"

"Incurable..."

"rule!"

Mu Qingcheng instinctively refused, but Song Shuyu didn't give her a chance to finish. He put his strong hand on her shoulder, looked at Jin Zesheng, and said in an unusually firm tone, "As long as Qingcheng can be cured, no price is too high."

Jin Zesheng was stunned. "But even if you use all the money in the Duke's mansion, the outcome is still unpredictable. Acupuncture requires inserting needles into the Baihui and Fengchi acupoints, which is extremely risky. If there is the slightest mistake, Miss Mu may become paralyzed and never be able to stand up again, becoming a cripple. At that time, is it worth exchanging your vast wealth for a paralyzed person?"

“Whether it’s worth it or not is irrelevant; it’s just how it should be.” Song Shuyu replied naturally, his expression showing no sign of wavering.

Mu Qingcheng tilted her head slightly.

From her angle, she could see Song Shuyu's thick, curled eyelashes, long, deep-set eyes, and perfectly shaped jawline. And, soft, pale pink lips.

She's always busy, and it seems like she hasn't really looked at him properly in a long time.

Feeling Mu Qingcheng's warm and ardent gaze, Song Shuyu moved his large hand up to gently stroke her hair, and continued, "But Physician Jin, Qingcheng cannot be paralyzed. She is exceptionally talented in literature and martial arts, and her ambition to solve cases and serve the people must not be abandoned!"

At this point, he knelt down and kowtowed devoutly, "I beg Physician Jin!"

"My lord, I don't want to be treated. Let nature take its course. I can accept any outcome." Mu Qingcheng's throat tightened, and her nose stung, making her eyes burn. "My lord, you don't need to force me or worry about me."

"How can I do that? How can I just stand by and watch you..."

"hehe."

Jin Zesheng couldn't keep up the act any longer, laughing so hard his shoulders shrugged. "Miss Mu, Shuyu is a good boy you can trust. You can rest assured."

"Huh?" Mu Qingcheng was dumbfounded.

Song Shuyu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up, both angry and amused, "Old man Jin, are you trying to fool me or scare me?"

"Hey, you little rascal, I'm only in my forties, how am I old?" Jin Zesheng, usually so serious, rarely showed such a relaxed side. He glanced at his chin and pointed at Mu Qingcheng, "Can't I test you on behalf of Miss Mu?"

"Okay, as long as you can cure Qingcheng, I will accept any test!" Song Shuyu's mouth was so happy that it almost stretched to the back of her ears.

Jin Zesheng smiled and nodded, "You're too worried, that's why I tricked you. With my reputation as a master healer, how could I not even cure a chronic blood stasis?"

Song Shuyu bowed repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I was confused. Then please, Physician Jin, begin the treatment!"

Jin Zesheng said, "Don't worry, we can regulate your Qi and blood, clear blockages, and promote blood circulation through medication combined with acupuncture. Acupuncture will be performed once every other day for 5 minutes each time, for a month."

After saying this, Jin Zesheng picked up a pen and wrote a prescription, handed it to Song Shuyu, and instructed him: "Send a trustworthy person to get the medicine and decoct it, and do not let anyone take advantage of the situation."

Song Shuyu nodded. "I understand."

Mu Qingcheng listened in a daze and asked in disbelief, "Doctor Jin, once the blood stasis is cleared, will my... my memory be restored?" Jin Zesheng said, "If the memory you lost is particularly important to you and left a deep impression, then theoretically, it will slowly recover."

"Hmm." For some reason, Mu Qingcheng felt her heart beating particularly fast. She subconsciously looked at Song Shuyu, her brows furrowing with obvious nervousness.

Song Shuyu's heart tightened. "Qingcheng, your... your lost memories are related to your dreams? What did you dream about? Can you tell me?"

Mu Qingcheng hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Let's talk about it after I regain my memories."

Her reaction gave Song Shuyu a bad feeling, so much so that he began to panic and feel uneasy.

……

The next day.

Early in the morning, Song Shuyu went to the royal temple on the outskirts of the capital to offer incense and pray to Buddha, asking Buddha to bless Mu Qingcheng with peace and safety and to bless their marriage to go smoothly.

However, on the way back, his eyelids suddenly started twitching badly, and he pressed them down with his hand for a long time but they still wouldn't twitch!
Song Li stroked his chin, pondering, "Master, could it be that you stepped into the temple with the wrong leg? Men step on the left and women on the right, which leg did you step on first?"

"My left leg!" Song Shuyu said with certainty. "I remember it very clearly. I didn't take the wrong step. When I kowtowed, I wasn't distracted. I was praying sincerely."

Song Li blurted out, "Could it be that the donation for incense oil was too little?"

"Then go and donate the money for ten more portions of incense oil, oh no, a hundred portions!"

"Now?"

"Yes, go!"

Song Li slapped himself twice. He shouldn't have talked so much and taken on so much work for himself!

Nevertheless, upon returning to the yamen, before Song Shuyu could even have a bowl of hot tea, the steward of the Duke's mansion rushed over in a hurry!
The steward knelt on the ground, ashamed and unable to lift his head. "Second Young Master, this old servant has failed in his duty. This old servant has let down the trust placed in him by the Second Young Master!"

Song Shuyu frowned. "What happened?"

"The person sent to Wuzhou to deliver New Year's gifts to Master Mu before the New Year has returned!"

The steward took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to Song Shuyu with both hands, saying, "Master Mu refused to accept the Second Young Master's gift. Our men knelt and begged at Master Mu's door for three days, but Master Mu not only refused the gift, but also took our men to the government office and accused us of plotting something! In the end, Master Mu wrote a letter and had someone deliver it to the Second Young Master."

Song Shuyu felt a chill in his heart upon hearing this. He took the letter, hesitated for a long time, and then slowly opened the envelope.

"Young man of the Song family: My daughter Qingcheng is already betrothed to another, so don't even think about it! The Mu and Song families are sworn enemies, and we will not marry without a fight to the death!"

The letter slipped from my hand.

Song Shuyu swayed and almost fell to the ground!

"Second son!"

The butler quickly stood up, helped Song Shuyu up, and comforted her, "Don't worry, there's always room for maneuver. First, find out why Master Mu refused. If we address the root cause and treat him with sincerity, we'll surely be able to move him!"

Song Shuyu's handsome face turned pale, his eyes lifeless. "This knot is probably hard to untie..."
