Romantic Medical Immortal

Chapter 617: Chapter 617: Sudden Onset of Poison

The door was pushed open, and Yang Cheng, with his upper body bare, covered in sweat, said apologetically, "I got delayed a bit, I’ll apply some medicine to Yue Ying first, please wait a little longer."

Everyone gasped when they heard that medicine needed to be applied.

Although they didn’t come to disturb the wedding last night, it was obvious that no one had slept.

Moments later, Yang Cheng came out after getting dressed and reminded, "Yue Ying is tired and has no strength. Please bear with us."

"Don’t worry, Little Divine Doctor."

Auntie Pang covered her mouth as she giggled, then led a group of women into the room.

The room was filled with a lewd scent, and Yue Ying lay on the bed, already in a deep sleep.

When the quilt was lifted, everyone gasped in shock. Her fair skin was covered in red marks, clearly having been harshly treated.

"The Little Divine Doctor shows no mercy; Yue Ying might not recover for days."

"What do you know? This shows that the enlightenment was successful. Yue Ying’s future married life will surely be prosperous."

Seeing Yue Ying weak, everyone had to help her up carefully, dressing her in a belly band and her wedding gown.

"This wedding gown is so beautiful! Unlike any other bride’s."

"It’s sparkling, with a phoenix embroidered in gold and silver thread; this gown must be expensive."

"The Little Divine Doctor pampers Yue Ying so much, even her wedding gown is so unique."

Everyone was extremely envious, unable to keep their hands off that gown.

Once Yue Ying was dressed, Ni Qingyao entered to apply her makeup.

The girls in the village didn’t usually wear makeup, but on their wedding day, they surely needed a little enhancement. Ever since Ni Qingyao arrived, she’s been the one beautifying the brides.

Meanwhile, Yang Cheng returned to Da Shan’s house to shower, planning to rest a bit since he hadn’t slept the entire night and was also injured.

Fortunately, he had applied herbs from near the Purifying Spirit Spring the previous day, and the wound seemed healed, but there was still a faint pain when he touched it.

He lay on the bed, starting to cultivate the Primordial Yin Qi he had absorbed, but as soon as the qi entered his dantian, an intense pain surged through him.

The blood in his body seemed to solidify, and even the flowing True Qi became stagnant, causing him to panic.

Kong Lingwen entered at that moment, somewhat sourly saying, "Yang Cheng, the wedding gown you bought for Yue Ying is truly beautiful. She looks like a fairy in it. Aren’t you going to see her?"

Yang Cheng clutched his chest, feeling utterly drained of strength, unable to speak for a long time.

"You just lay down; I know you’re not asleep, don’t pretend to be dead with me."

Kong Lingwen, dissatisfied, gently nudged his arm.

A bloody taste surged from his chest, and unbearable pain from his meridians overwhelmed him, causing him to suddenly spew a mouthful of blood.

"Ah!!"

Kong Lingwen couldn’t help but scream, froze for two seconds, then shouted in horror, "Yang Cheng, what’s happening? Don’t scare me. I only nudged you gently; why is this happening?"

"Call... call Yun Chan over."

Yang Cheng gritted his teeth, speaking with difficulty, before suddenly collapsing on the bed unconscious.

Seeing this, Kong Lingwen was dumbfounded and quickly ran out of the room, yelling, "Yang Cheng has fainted! Go call Village Chief Yun!"

The villagers were all gathered at Da Shan’s house entrance, waiting to welcome the bride, and were instantly dumbfounded at hearing this.

Da Shan responded the quickest, ignoring the fact that he was still the groom, and sprinted out.

"Hey? Da Shan! Come back, let someone else go!"

Nanny Dashan tried to stop him, but he ran off in the blink of an eye.

The people snapped out of it, hurriedly entering the room to check the situation, and indeed saw Yang Cheng lying unconscious on the bed, blood at his mouth.

"What’s going on? The Little Divine Doctor was fine this morning; why would he suddenly vomit blood?"

Kong Lingwen, panicked to tears, choked, "It’s all my fault! When I returned, he didn’t speak, so I gave him a gentle push, and then he just suddenly vomited blood."

"Lin Wen, don’t blame yourself. Xiaochen isn’t that fragile; a mere push wouldn’t cause him to vomit blood."

Ni Qingyao quickly stepped forward to comfort her.

"None of us knows medicine. Should we call the village’s old doctor to take a look?"

Someone suggested, as they were clueless about medical skills. Although the village doctor was not highly skilled, he at least knew some medicinal knowledge.

"No, before Yang Cheng lost consciousness, he said to call Village Chief Yun. She should know the situation, and none of us should move him."

Kong Lingwen stood by the bed, preventing anyone from touching Yang Cheng and causing further harm.

Soon, there were urgent footsteps outside, and Da Shan brought Yun Chan in, rushing straight to the bed without catching his breath.

"Village Chief Yun, quickly see what’s wrong with Yang Cheng!"

Kong Lingwen, almost crying, was utterly panicked, her hands trembling.

Seeing the black blood by the bed, Yun Chan’s heart sank, suspecting he had been poisoned. But supposedly after applying medicine last night, he had recovered. This morning, he even dallied with Yue Ying, nearly delaying the auspicious time, so why was the poison acting up again?

"Da Shan, give me a hand and gently turn Yang Cheng over."

Yun Chan spoke up, and Da Shan immediately called on a few friends nearby to help, turning Yang Cheng over to reveal the wound on his back.

Although the wound had healed, it had turned black, with a tendency to spread to the surrounding area.

At this moment, Yue Ying rushed in, followed by several aunties.

"Oh dear! Yue Ying! This breaks the rules; you haven’t even married yet, how could you just run in here!"

Auntie Pang shouted loudly, slapping her thigh in frustration.

According to Hidden Cloud Village customs, the new bride should be carried over, her feet shouldn’t touch the ground, and there were still a series of customs to complete. Hearing Yang Cheng fainted, she disregarded everything and ran over.

"I say, could it be that the Little Divine Doctor fainted because of Yue Ying!"

"Could be! The Little Divine Doctor works hard every night, last night he performed the enlightenment and was entangled all night; no matter how strong, his body would be exhausted!"

"The young girl is too selfish. It’s fine to want a successful enlightenment but don’t exhaust the person. Now he’s ill; who knows if he can continue with the enlightenment tonight."

The woman speaking was the mother of tonight’s enlightenment bride, her face full of displeasure.

Previous brides had all had successful enlightenments; it reached her daughter’s turn, and now they couldn’t continue, causing her to be labeled as an ill-fated person.

Amidst the buzz, Yun Chan spoke coldly, "Be quiet, this has nothing to do with Yue Ying. Yang Cheng was injured saving me, and now the poison has set in."

"Brother Cen is poisoned? What herbs are needed, I will go up the mountain now to find them!"

Da Shan quickly volunteered, with other villagers echoing him.
