Seeking Help from Gods and Buddhas

"Thank you, Princess. We are deeply grateful for your help," Gu family Gu Wanning said sincerely.

"Look at you, how nice you were when you were begging me," Yiling said with a grin.

"You talk too much nonsense," Xu Weibei said sternly.

This Yiling is utterly inexplicable; she's just spoiled and can't distinguish between what's important and what's urgent.

"Stop talking nonsense and save people!" Yiling also had a very bad impression of Xu Weibei.

--You're a good person, so you can talk so rudely!

Gu Wanning reached out and tugged at Xu Weibei's sleeve, whispering, "Go out and wait for my father and brothers, and explain the situation inside to them, so they're aware of what's going on."

Xu Weibei hummed in agreement.

His voice softened when he spoke to Gu Wanning.

"Don't worry."

"I know."

Yiling stuck out her tongue at Xu Weibei, looking smug.

See, you're the one who got kicked out!

"It's not that I don't know what's important," Yiling explained to Gu Wanning, "But I'm waiting for Hua Ying to finish brewing the medicine. We need to induce labor first, and then we can save the person, right?"

She wasn't that ignorant; she wouldn't waste time when her life was at stake.

"Are you sure you have a way? Yiling, please do your best. My second sister-in-law is a very good person and so young."

"I'll try my best, I'll try my best, don't cry!" Yiling panicked a little, "I'm not good at comforting people."

Or, let Xu Weibei come back.

"Can you tell me how you plan to save them?" Gu Wanning clasped her hands together unconsciously and paced anxiously.

"No." Yiling refused decisively.

Gu Wanning: "... That was presumptuous of me. It's alright. As long as you can save people, whatever you say, we'll cooperate."

No matter how much medicine is used or how much money is spent, they will cooperate as long as it can save the patient.

In a life-or-death situation, seeing a straw to grasp at, she desperately tried to seize it.

"Don't worry," Yiling said proudly, holding her head high. "As long as I promise, I can bring them back."

Gu Wanning nodded, but she was still really worried and paced nervously back and forth in the courtyard.

Gu Anfang, who has always had a fiery temper and doesn't get along with Gu Wanning, stood outside the small kitchen, looking over with a complicated expression.

Inside the small kitchen, Third Concubine was personally brewing medicine, while outside, Yiling chattered away and Gu Wanning cried until her eyes were red.

What do I need to prepare?

After the two finished speaking, he asked in a hoarse voice, his tone unusually cautious.

Today's scene also frightened him.

My second brother is proud and stubborn by nature, but his career is not smooth, and he is full of thorns.

Only his second sister-in-law could make him put away all his thorns.

Now, the fate of my second sister-in-law is unknown.

If something were to happen to his second sister-in-law, his second brother would probably completely shut his heart away.

"No need." Yiling waved her hand, looking relaxed. "Why are you all so serious? I already said I could save people, honestly, you don't believe me at all. And you, Gu Wanning, do you think I'd eat your food for free? Don't you know what kind of person I am?"

"I know," Gu Wanning said, "Everything depends on you!"

Gu Yuanshi and his son arrived quickly.

The two men had identical serious expressions, and their anxiety and feigned composure were exactly the same.

Gu Wanning had an idea that seemed out of place at the time.

Like father, like son. If Xu Weibei didn't have a hidden illness, would she give birth to a miniature version of Xu Weibei?

My second sister-in-law had been looking forward to this child for a long time.

She was probably filled with love and wanted to leave a child, a symbol of their love, for the one she loved.

That child might have the features and talent of his second brother, and the elegance and personality of his second sister-in-law...

"Thank you for everything, Princess." Gu Yuanshi stepped forward and bowed to Yiling.

Yiling waved her hand and pointed at Gu Wanning, saying, "No need to be polite, I'm doing this for her sake."

Gu Wanning: "..."

Yiling, oh Yiling, you absolutely must help save this life.

Otherwise, not only would her second sister-in-law and second brother's lives be in danger, but the Gu family would also blame her for misjudging people.

Gu Yuanshi had also consulted the imperial physician and knew that Yiling was the greatest hope at this moment.

"Sister, the medicine is ready." Third Concubine came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of dark, black medicine.

This was the life-saving medicine for Princess Qingyi's unborn child, but it was also the medicine that led to her own death.

"I'll take it in," Gu Wanning said through gritted teeth.

"I'll go," the Third Concubine said softly.

She wanted to protect Gu Wanning.

In the future, when the Gu family recalls this scene, they should not harbor any resentment towards Gu Wanning.

"I'll go!" Gu Anfang snatched the medicine bowl from her hands without saying a word.

"Are you stupid? That's my sister-in-law's delivery room!" Gu Wanning glared at him fiercely.

Gu Anfang blushed deeply.

How could he forget something so important?

He only thought that Hua Ying shouldn't have gone in either.

"I'll come." Gu Anwei lifted the curtain and came out.

He remained calm, and upon seeing Gu Yuanshi and Gu Anqi, he nodded to them and said, "Father, elder brother, I'm sorry to have disturbed you."

"What are you saying!" Gu Anqi frowned. "Go inside and take care of your younger siblings."

"Good."

Gu Yuanshi suddenly spoke up, "Where's the butler? Have someone bring him to me."

Gu Anwei did not disobey him. She sent someone to call the housekeeper, and then calmly went in with the medicine.

What joy is there in life, what fear is there in death? I only ask to journey together.

Gu Wanning's hands hung at her sides, already unconsciously clenched, her nails almost digging into her palms.

She couldn't help but look at Yiling.

Yiling, smelling the blooming plum blossoms in the corner, exclaimed happily, "I knew the fragrance was strong as soon as I came in! I thought there was incense in the courtyard, but it turns out it's plum blossoms!"
