Cold Ruo Li and Jun Mo Han were having dinner, discussing the preparations for Cold Ruo Li's new medical clinic.
Before they could chat for long, their conversation was interrupted.
Upon hearing from the gatekeeper that Leng Jin Yu had brought an unconscious man to the Cold King's mansion, she and Jun Mo Han hurried over.
"Father, Young Master Xie, what happened?" Cold Ruo Li asked, her brows furrowed slightly.
"Ruo Li, first take a look at what's wrong with Young Master Xie. He came to visit us earlier and suddenly fainted," Leng Jin Yu said anxiously.
"Father, don't worry. First, tell me what symptoms Young Master Xie had before he fainted," Cold Ruo Li comforted Leng Jin Yu.
"Ruo Li, Young Master Xie suddenly came to visit our Cold residence tonight and chatted with me for a while. He then proposed to tour our Cold residence, and I readily agreed. However, when I led him into the Bright Moon Courtyard where you live, he suddenly suffered from a headache. But he recovered quickly, and I didn't pay much attention at the time. Yet, when I led him into Rui'er's (Cold Ruo Li's elder brother, Cold Ruo Rui) courtyard, his headache recurred, and his condition was even more severe than before. Afterwards, he fainted."
Leng Jin Yu explained everything to the Cold King and his consort.
"Alright, Father. Ruo Li understands the situation. I'll examine him now."
With that, Cold Ruo Li extended her fingers to take Xie Yi Chuan's pulse. Initially, Cold Ruo Li couldn't detect any illness through the pulse. Immediately, she used her will to activate the instruments in her space to examine Xie Yi Chuan's body. Soon, Cold Ruo Li's brows became tightly furrowed.
Seeing her distressed expression, Leng Jin Yu immediately felt worried.
"Ruo Li, how is Young Master Xie's condition?" Leng Jin Yu asked with concern.
"Father, Young Master Xie's body is not in serious trouble, but... there is a long-standing blood clot in his brain that is pressing on one of his brain nerves, which is why he experiences headaches when stimulated," Cold Ruo Li truthfully told Leng Jin Yu.
"What can be done? Is there any way to remove the blood clot from his brain?" Upon hearing this, Leng Jin Yu's face was instantly filled with worry.
When he saw Young Master Xie faint earlier, his heart clenched, and his head felt stuffy. For some reason, he just didn't want this Young Master Xie to have an accident.
"Father, don't worry. I'm here. Ruo Li won't let anything happen to him."
Cold Ruo Li thought Leng Jin Yu was worried about the trouble that might arise if Young Master Xie had an accident here.
Hearing Cold Ruo Li's words, Leng Jin Yu's expression did relax slightly.
After all, his Ruo Li was a renowned divine doctor. She should be able to help this Young Master Xie remove the blood clot from his brain.
At this moment, Cold Ruo Li suddenly looked at Xie Yi Chuan's guard and asked, "Little brother, has your young master ever experienced dizziness or headaches before?"
"Cold King's Consort, my young master has suffered from headaches before, but never as severe as today, and he has never fainted," Mo Yi replied with a serious expression.
"Then has your young master sought medical treatment for this illness?" Cold Ruo Li asked Mo Yi again.
"Yes, we have. Our master and madam have spared no effort to treat my young master's headaches, and have sought out all the famous doctors in the land, but none could cure my young master's headaches," Mo Yi said with a frown.
"Alas, alright. Thank you. I understand," Cold Ruo Li sighed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Cold Ruo Li finished speaking, Mo Yi suddenly knelt before her.
"Cold King's Consort, Mo Yi has heard rumors of your medical skills before. Now that you have diagnosed my young master's condition, it further proves that your medical skills are truly extraordinary. Mo Yi begs you, please save my young master. His headaches have plagued him for many years, and no doctor has been able to diagnose his condition. If Cold King's Consort can help my young master remove this ailment, Mo Yi is willing to serve you like a horse or ox."
After speaking, Mo Yi, with red eyes, kowtowed to Cold Ruo Li.
Seeing Mo Yi like that, Cold Ruo Li quickly asked Yin Chen and Ye Ying, who were standing by, to help him up.
"Little brother, you don't need to do this. Regarding your young master's condition, we will discuss it after he wakes up," Cold Ruo Li said to Mo Yi.
"Then, Cold King's Consort, when will my young master wake up?" Mo Yi glanced at Xie Yi Chuan, who was lying on the soft couch, and asked with concern.
"Give him this medicine from the small bottle to drink. In about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, he will wake up."
Cold Ruo Li took out a small bottle of medicine from her sleeve, and kindly helped him open the cap, letting Mo Yi squeeze the medicine into Xie Yi Chuan's mouth.
After a while, Xie Yi Chuan did wake up. He opened his eyes and glanced at the people in the room, then his gaze fell on Leng Jin Yu.
"General Leng, come and look at the birthmark beside my left ear... is it the same as your birthmark?"
Xie Yi Chuan's thin lips trembled as he slowly spoke, his voice even choked with emotion.
Leng Jin Yu was taken aback for a moment, and it took him a while to realize that Xie Yi Chuan also had a birthmark beside his left ear.
Thus, Leng Jin Yu strode to Xie Yi Chuan's side and looked down at the red birthmark beside his left ear. As it turned out, the birthmark beside Xie Yi Chuan's left ear was exactly the same as the ancestral birthmark of the Leng family.
"You, you, you are really Rui'er. No wonder I felt you were so familiar the first time I saw you. So you are truly a descendant of my Leng family..."
As Leng Jin Yu spoke, he disregarded his image and embraced Xie Yi Chuan, his eyes red, tears unknowingly flowing from the corners of his eyes.
The reason Leng Jin Yu was so certain that Xie Yi Chuan was his son was because the Leng family's rule was monogamy, and for generations, there had been no collateral branches, with only one son inheriting the lineage. Therefore, when Leng Jin Yu saw Xie Yi Chuan's birthmark, he immediately concluded that this was his son, Cold Ruo Rui, who had been missing for many years.
"Rui'er, Father is so sorry for letting you wander outside for so many years..."
That night, Leng Jin Yu held Xie Yi Chuan and spoke many words.
Seeing this scene, the Cold King and his consort tactfully withdrew from the room with the remaining people, and thoughtfully closed the door for the two of them.
After a long while, Leng Jin Yu called the Cold King and his consort back in.
"Ruo Li, this Young Master Xie is your elder brother, Cold Ruo Rui. He also has the same red plum blossom birthmark as you," Leng Jin Yu said with great excitement.
Cold Ruo Li, facing this sudden elder brother, found it difficult to adapt for a while, and their communication was rather awkward.
Xie Yi Chuan felt the same.
Later, it was Jun Mo Han who broke the awkward silence between the siblings.
"Father-in-law, we can acknowledge your elder brother, but your elder brother must first promise me that you won't fight with me for Ruo Li in the future, because Ruo Li is mine now! Neither of you can snatch her away!"
With that, Leng Jin Yu and Xie Yi Chuan burst into laughter on the spot.
As for Cold Ruo Li, she felt her face flush with embarrassment.
