The spring water overflowed, and Song Qintang desperately tried to save herself, but she couldn't swim at all and was even afraid of water.

The intense pain inside my body, combined with the impact of the spring water, made me feel dizzy and sink to the bottom.

At that moment, even her cries for help were choked back by the deep water.

Just when she thought there was no hope, a figure suddenly jumped into the spring and swam towards her, breaking through the ripples.

Pei Jingshen, standing on the shore, was stunned. He had just said, "Why do the shoes on the shore look so much like 'Miss Unbearable Pain'?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Gu Huizhou suddenly jumped into the water.

Water droplets slid down his sculpted features as Gu Huizhou looked down at the person in his arms.

Her face was deathly pale, her lips were bluish-purple, and her long hair was wet and stuck to her neck and cheeks, with water droplets constantly dripping down her chin.

His eyelids were heavy and half-closed, his eyelashes were wet and drooping weakly, his chest rose and fell slightly, and each breath was accompanied by a fine, choking cough. His fingertips were cold, stiff and drooping.

She slumped against him, as if she were about to lose all her breath at any moment.

He let out a deep breath, "Song Qintang, hold on!"

Upon hearing the sound, she parted her soft lips slightly, her heavy eyelids still closed, and a mouthful of blood gushed from her mouth.

The scalding blood became the only warmth Song Qintang felt at that moment.

"Oh my god... this... this..." Pei Jingshen was so shocked by this scene that he was speechless.

"Call a doctor!" Gu Huizhou said urgently, carrying Song Qintang as he ran towards Cangyuan Garden.

Pei Jingshen saw that Gu Huizhou, who was usually as calm as a mountain, had lost his composure. He belatedly realized the seriousness of the situation and ran after him while making a phone call.

Yue Heng and the doctor had been waiting at Cangyuan for a long time. When they saw Gu Huizhou carrying Song Qintang in, there was still blood on his lips and chest.

Even he was somewhat surprised.

The doctor followed Gu Huizhou inside, while he instructed the servants of Cangyuan, "Not a single word of what happened today is to be spread!"

"Yes!" the servants answered in unison.

Cangyuan was Gu Huizhou's courtyard. He didn't come back often, but all the servants were still there. When they saw the young master carrying a woman who was vomiting blood in, they didn't dare to look up and stare. They all lowered their heads and remained silent.

The person in my arms kept crying out in pain, and blood was still flowing from the corner of their lips like a small stream.

Gu Huizhou looked down at the warm bloodstains on his chest left by Song Qintang and called for someone outside to bring in water.

He carried Song Qintang into the master bedroom and placed her on his bed.

As soon as the person was put down, the person on the bed vomited another mouthful of blood.

Gu Huizhou's eyes reddened, and he reached out to pull the person into his arms.

He heard her cry out in pain, her eyes closed, her body pressed against his chest. The fair skin on her shoulders and neck was now stained red with blood.

Each frame is shocking.

A few seconds later, the person in his arms loosened their clenched fists, slid to the edge of the bed, their lips turned bluish-purple, their body limp and weak against his chest, breathing faintly, on the verge of death.

Gu Huizhou frowned and shouted, "Save her, at any cost!"

The doctors and servants had never seen the usually composed and self-controlled young master so flustered, and they quickly began their work.

The maid was very careful with every movement, washing and changing the person on the bed.

The doctors were working feverishly to put the patient on life support equipment.

The tense atmosphere throughout the room made Gu Huizhou's heart ache.

"Let's go out first. It's not convenient for the doctor to stay here." Pei Jingshen tugged at Gu Huizhou, whose chest was heaving violently due to his emotions.

He admitted that he had panicked and was about to leave when his wrist was suddenly gripped by a cold, weak force.

Her fingertips were so light they could barely grip his sleeve; her half-open eyes were misty with tears, and her breathy voice was broken and indistinct. That stubbornness in her unwillingness to let him go crushed all the guilt and heartache he had accumulated over the years.

He stood frozen in place, gazing at her fragile appearance that seemed ready to vanish at any moment, his heart filled with bitterness and regret. He only hated that the accident back then had caused her to endure so many years of illness and suffering alone.

Gu Huizhou paused, his gaze darkening as he looked at her.

An uncontrollable heartache churned within him, yet his face remained aloof and cold.

His slender figure sat back down beside her, letting Song Qintang tightly grip his cuffs.

Just like that year when she had a high fever and fell into a coma, she tightly gripped his sleeve.

He bent down, silently watching the blood seeping from the corner of her eyes and lips. His slightly trembling fingers wiped away the moisture, and the usually cold expression in his eyes softened almost imperceptibly.

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and tears rolled down her cheeks one by one, as if she had suffered a tremendous injustice.

He listened to her murmurs of pain, tucked the stray hairs behind her ear, and gently patted her shoulder.

The once unyielding man now lowered his head and gently coaxed Song Qintang in her ear, "Don't be afraid..."

The person with their eyes closed seemed to be able to hear it, and their furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

The doctor involved in the rescue had been with the Gu family for decades and had never seen this stern young master show such a tender side, which shows how important this patient was.

They inevitably had to be a little more careful with their hands and feet.

The cardiac monitor beside me beeped, and the nurse repeated the emergency orders: "Adrenaline 0.25mg IV push."

A bubble rose above the needle tip and slid down as a droplet of liquid fell.

The needle tip was aimed at her wrist.

"Be gentle, she's afraid of pain!"

Gu Huizhou's heartache was no less than if a needle were piercing his hand.

A few seconds later, ripples appeared on the smooth lines on the monitor, emitting rhythmic beeps.

Gu Huizhou used to particularly dislike mechanical voices, but the voice he heard now made him feel exceptionally at ease.

After the medicine was administered, the bleeding from Song Qintang's lips gradually stopped.

But the pain remained on his face.

Gu Huizhou asked with a grave expression, "Why is she still in pain?"

Dr. Qi removed his gloves and said with a grave expression, "Young Master, this girl doesn't seem to have drowned; it looks more like she drowned after being poisoned."

Dr. Qi is the vice president of the Chinese Medicine Association and the 54th generation successor of Bian Shen Traditional Chinese Medicine.

"Normally, drowning would not cause vomiting blood, and the blood this girl vomited was dark in color. Her pulse was typical of aconite poisoning, being irregular and scattered."

Gu Huizhou raised his eyes slightly, his gaze deep: "Aconite poisoning?"

Dr. Qi nodded in agreement, "Yes, and judging from the severe poisoning, it should be a short-term, high-dose poisoning, and it also contains aconite, which has a toxic effect. If the person who took the medicine gets angry, their liver fire will clash, causing arrhythmia, hallucinations, and death from vomiting blood."

As he spoke, he walked closer and glanced at Song Qintang's electrocardiogram monitor. The fluctuating heart rate on the monitor further confirmed his suspicions.

Gu Huizhou lowered his eyes and stared intently at Song Qintang's tightly closed eyes. Her brows were furrowed, and her expression was pained, as if she were trapped in a nightmare.

He frowned deeply as he looked at the woman in his arms. No wonder she had drowned by the spring.

It turns out that someone deliberately provoked her by the pool so that she would fall into the water. Even if she vomited blood, the spring water would wash it away, thus creating the illusion of drowning.

He was certain that this was a series of schemes devised by the person who poisoned him.

I thought she was just suffering a bit in the Wu family, but I never expected she would lose her life.

But she still refused to speak to him.

He spoke again, his voice heavy with authority: "Detoxify first."

Dr. Qi agreed and immediately went to prepare the things.

Gu Huizhou summoned Yue Heng: "Go investigate, within half an hour."
