Chapter 414 Good Fortune and Great Destiny
Although she knew in her heart that the possibility was probably slim, a glimmer of hope still ignited in Yu Wan's eyes, and without hesitation, she urgently ordered the guards:
"Hurry up and see if you can climb up there, there looks like a cave!"
Several guards quickly surrounded them, looking up at the steep mountain wall with troubled expressions.
Seeing their troubled expressions, Yu Wan pursed her pale lips slightly: "I know this mountain wall is slippery and probably not easy to climb, but I'm 70% sure that Yun Shang will be inside."
The guards exchanged glances upon hearing this, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
"Yes."
The two guards grabbed onto the protruding rocks and climbed upwards. The rain lessened a bit, but the rainwater kept falling down the cliff face, mixing with yellow mud and smearing their faces.
Their climb was arduous, and Yu Wan watched from below with a heavy heart.
Fortunately, it was only a little over three meters high. After some time, the two guards climbed up, and Yu Wan soon heard their ecstatic voices pierce through the rain:
"Yes! Lord Yun is really inside!"
Yu Wan's heart skipped a beat, then was instantly filled with immense joy.
My eyes quickly welled up with tears, which spilled uncontrollably and mingled with the rain.
She looked up and shouted at the top of her lungs:
"Quick, get him down!"
"Is he injured? How badly? Is he still awake?"
Her voice trembled slightly with excitement and worry.
Before long, the guards carefully moved Yun Shang and an official out of the cave and slowly lowered them down with ropes.
Yu Wan quickly stepped forward and caught Yun Shang with trembling hands.
Yun Shang had already fainted. His face was as pale as paper, his eyes were closed, his breath was weak, and he had many small abrasions all over his body.
The rain blurred the bloodstains on his body, and Yu Wan couldn't immediately tell where he was seriously injured.
She had her guards carry Yun Shang and another official on their backs, and hurriedly ordered, "Let's go, we're going back to the city right away."
After news of Yun Shang's disappearance reached Kyoto, many forces sent people to search for him, but Yu Wan didn't need to think about whether these people wanted to find him or "silence" him.
Just then, a commotion of footsteps and shouts came from afar.
Yu Wan's heart tightened, and her face turned pale.
It seems the common people couldn't hold off the officials for long; these people still managed to find them.
Although the rain had lessened, the fog had not yet dissipated, and visibility remained poor.
Yu Wan took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and whispered to the guard, "Let's leave immediately while our view is obstructed, and keep a low profile so the government officials don't find us."
The guards didn't ask Yu Wan why she was avoiding the government officials, and the group quietly headed towards Shengjing City.
Midway through, Yu Wan had several guards disperse, deliberately making some noise to attract the attention of the government officials.
She was on tenterhooks the whole way. The male lead had the protagonist's halo, but she didn't.
Fortunately, despite their anxiety, they made it safely into the city.
Early in the morning, Yu Wan had Xi Zhu drive a carriage to wait for her in the woods outside the city.
When entering the city, she had her guards and Xizhu take another carriage ahead, while she herself only took Yunshang and lagged behind a few steps, carefully blending into the crowd of ordinary people.
The guards at the city gate had witnessed her leading the guards from the Duke of Anguo's mansion out of the city, and now that they saw the guards from the Duke of Anguo's mansion appear, their attention was focused on them.
Yu Wan blended into the crowd of ordinary people and became quite inconspicuous.
She made her way into the city without being discovered by anyone else.
Upon entering the city, Yu Wan immediately instructed the driver to head straight to Huichuntang.
Old Feng often sees patients at this clinic. Even if Old Feng isn't here today, the doctors at Huichuntang, with his guidance, will surely be able to treat Yunshang's injuries.
Most importantly, Huichuntang is inconspicuous.
Yu Wan was quite familiar with Huichuntang. Instead of going through the main entrance, she knocked on the back door. The young apprentice from Huichuntang opened the door. He had seen Yu Wan several times and recognized her at a glance.
"Madam Yun, what brings you here?"
Yu Wan asked directly, "Is Doctor Feng here?"
The young apprentice shook his head and answered truthfully, "Dr. Feng comes to Huichun Hall every three days, but he didn't come today."
Yu Wan had already anticipated this, so she wasn't too surprised. She hurriedly said, "Then please hurry and fetch your best doctor. My husband is seriously injured and cannot be delayed."
Seeing this, the young apprentice dared not delay and hurriedly ran to find his master.
Yun Shang was placed in a private consultation room. The senior doctor from Huichuntang quickly came over. He also recognized Yu Wan. Upon seeing Yun Shang lying on the sickbed, he went straight to him without any delay.
The old doctor opened his eyelids, looked at him, and reached out to pull off Yu Wan's clothes.
Just as his hand touched Yun Shang, he suddenly snapped out of his daze, looked at Yu Wan, and politely asked, "Would Madam like to excuse herself for a moment..."
Yu Wan's eyes reddened with anxiety. "No need, you should examine him quickly!"
The old doctor said no more, quickly unbuttoned Yun Shang's clothes, and carefully examined his injuries.
Besides some obvious abrasions, Yun Shang also had several hidden bruises, indicating that he had suffered a serious impact.
The old doctor frowned when he examined his lower back.
Yu Wan noticed that he paused, peeked out, and froze instantly.
On Yun Shang's lower back, there was a deep wound that revealed the bone.
The flesh was torn open, and the surrounding blood had congealed and stuck to the clothes, making it look particularly gruesome.
Yu Wan's heart clenched suddenly, and she could barely breathe.
How did he manage to climb up the more than three-meter-high cave despite such serious injuries?
"Doctor, is this...is this injury serious?" Yu Wan's voice trembled uncontrollably.
The old doctor said, "Such a large wound must have bled quite a bit, but he must have managed to stop the bleeding himself. Don't worry, he's fine."
As he spoke, he carefully cleaned the clothes around the wound, moving as gently as possible to avoid causing further injury.
Yu Wan didn't dare to disturb him, and subconsciously held her breath and focused.
It was half an hour later when the old doctor finished treating Yun Shang's wound.
Yu Wan stood by the bed the whole time without moving an inch. When she saw the old doctor get up, she subconsciously took two steps aside and then realized that her legs were numb.
Seeing this, the old doctor gestured to the young apprentice beside him to bring over a stool, and said in a kind tone, "Madam, don't worry, Lord Yun is fine, he will wake up in an hour at most."
Yu Wan was not surprised that the old doctor recognized Yun Shang, but she asked him, "If anyone asks about Yun Shang's condition later, please don't say anything."
The old doctor agreed without hesitation.
Yun Shang's injuries were not suitable for frequent movement, so Yu Wan sat by his bedside to watch over him. In less than an hour, Yun Shang woke up.
He was the most tolerant of pain, but the moment he woke up, he couldn't maintain his composure.
Yu Wan leaned closer with concern, "Is your wound hurting? I'll go find a doctor right away!"
She made a move to get up, but Yun Shang reached out and grabbed her wrist. "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."
He looked at her, his lips pale but his eyes filled with laughter, his voice clear and crisp, "Don't be afraid, I'm lucky, I won't die."
