Chapter 647 What should he do without the prince?
Dr. Lu frowned deeply.
At this moment, Xiao Yu lowered his eyes, and the sorrow and grief in his eyes made Doctor Lu's heart ache.
Even though he was unable to move and needed help with his daily life during this time, he had never felt so desperate.
Yes, it's despair.
He has now completely lost the will to live.
"What happened?" Doctor Lu held Xiao Yu's hand, asking him with the loving kindness of an elder. "Tell me what's wrong, and we'll figure something out together. Yan Qing and Yun Ting are still trying to get the other half of the Spirit Fire Grass. There's still hope until the very end. Don't give up so soon, okay?"
Having lived in the Prince's mansion together for so many years, Doctor Lu's feelings for Xiao Yu had long surpassed those of a master and servant. He treated Xiao Yu like his own child, and seeing Xiao Yu like this, his heart ached as if it were being cut by a dull knife.
Xiao Yu raised his eyes and looked at Doctor Lu.
Yunting betrayed him, disregarding their years of friendship and the kindness of his mentor, by killing Grand Tutor He and colluding with Prince Jing. He could not reveal any of this.
Yun Ting meant that he would not let anyone who knew about it live.
He wanted to take everything he knew to his grave.
Seeing the worry on Doctor Lu's usually kind face, Xiao Yu took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and suppressed the urge to confide in him.
In order for them to live well, he had to keep these things to himself.
“Uncle Lu, Prince Jing has a top-notch expert who is no match for them. We can’t get the other half of the Spirit Fire Grass back.” Xiao Yu said with his eyes closed, speaking in the calmest tone.
Lu Da held Xiao Yu's hand, tightening and loosening it repeatedly, his eyes filled with worry and heartache, all of which turned into a sigh: "Heaven is unfair!"
A man like him should have lived a more carefree and joyful life than others, yet he suffered eight years of torment and ultimately could not escape the torment of illness.
"Okay," Doctor Lu said kindly. "I will prescribe the medicine carefully and do my best to alleviate your pain. Rest well for the next two days and avoid stress or getting upset."
Xiao Yu, with his eyes closed, responded faintly, "Yes. Thank you for your trouble, Uncle Lu."
"Take good care of yourself." Doctor Lu patted Xiao Yu's hand, picked up his medicine box, and went back to the Hundred Herbs Garden to prepare medicine.

Lingling also noticed that the prince was not in a good mood. On the way back, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Grandfather, what did the prince say to you alone?"
Knowing that Lingling also knew about the Spirit Fire Grass, Doctor Lu decided not to hide it from her, since she would see it when he went back to prepare the medicine anyway.
Back at the Hundred Herbs Garden, Doctor Lu said, "We can't get the other half of the Spirit Fire Grass back. The Prince wants us to use the half we have to make medicine."
"what?!"
Ling Ling's face was filled with disbelief. "Use half? So even if you get the other half, there's absolutely no chance left?"
Dr. Lu sighed and said, "We can't get the other half back, and it would be a waste if we didn't use it. It's better to let him live the rest of his life without suffering so much."
After listening to Doctor Lu's words, Ling Ling stopped and asked, "What about Sister Yue? Does she know? What did she say?"
During her time in the manor, she saw very clearly that Sister Yue's love for the prince was probably even greater than that of her parents.
How could Sister Yue accept this?
Mentioning Su Lingyue, Doctor Lu sighed again and said slowly, "Yue'er... will accompany the Prince."
Ling Ling frowned, worried that she had misunderstood, and asked again, "Grandfather, do you mean that Sister Yue will be buried with us?"
Doctor Lu glanced at her. "You could put it more nicely: 'To share life and death, to be together in life and death, to share the same bed in life and the same grave in death.'"
"boom!"
The medicine box in Lingling's hand fell to the ground.
"Oh my god!" Ling Ling covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes and rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Dr. Lu took out a handkerchief to wipe away his granddaughter's tears, forced a smile, and comforted Lingling, saying, "They are a loving couple. They must have discussed making that decision. Let them decide for themselves. We will do what we should do and let them enjoy their love for a while longer."
"Pfft!"
Ling Ling took Doctor Lu's handkerchief and blew her nose, nodding vigorously as she did so. "Okay... I, I will definitely do my best to assist Grandfather."
Doctor Lu nodded, glanced at the handkerchief stained with tears and snot, and thought, "Never mind, she's my granddaughter, don't be disgusted."

After Doctor Lu left, Yan Qing and Su Lingyue went into the house together.
As soon as she stood in front of Xiao Yu's bed, Yan Qing immediately leaned forward and asked, "Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Yu looked at him, a forced smile appearing on his lips, and said, "No."
"Really!" Yan Qing breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "That's good. Your Highness, you must tell me if you're not feeling well."
Thinking of the reason why Xiao Yu was uncomfortable, he comforted Xiao Yu: "Your Highness, don't worry, Yun Ting and I are thinking of a way to get the Spirit Fire Grass back."
"What kind of spirit fire grass?"
Su Lingyue's heart tightened instantly. She walked to Yan Qing's side, tugged at his sleeve, and asked, "Where is the Spirit Fire Grass?"
She stared intently at Yan Qing, waiting for his reply.
At this moment, Yan Qing suddenly realized that he had let something slip.
Before he could speak, Xiao Yu smiled and explained to Su Lingyue, "He and Yun Ting are searching everywhere for spirit fire grass, saying they want to find one for their husband."
"Is that so?" The hope that had ignited in Su Lingyue's eyes was instantly extinguished.
Yes, if the Spirit Fire Grass were so easy to find, Uncle would have found it long ago.
Xiao Yu looked at Yan Qing and said, "You and Yun Ting don't need to look anymore. Uncle Lu will prepare the medicine for me. In the days to come, having you two by my side is enough."
These words were meant for Yan Qing, who naturally understood their meaning.
He wanted to say that it wasn't the last moment yet, and the prince couldn't give up.
But the princess was here, and he couldn't let her know. In desperation, he thought of Uncle Lu.
The prince must have said something to him.
We just need to ask Uncle Lu later.
"I understand," Yan Qing replied respectfully.
"Go down."
"Yes."
Yan Qing strode out of the main house and went directly to the Hundred Herbs Garden.
*
Only the couple remained in the house. Xiao Yu looked at Su Lingyue, who was in tears, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Despite being mentally prepared, Su Lingyue's heart still ached when she heard Xiao Yu say those words.
Tears instantly welled up in her eyes and dripped down her snowy cheeks.
Xiao Yu gazed at her and said gently, "Yue'er, come here."
Su Lingyue wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, sat down on the edge of the bed, moved closer to Xiao Yu, hugged him tightly, and buried her head in his neck.
She was really terrified just now.
These days, although Xiao Yu has been coughing and drowsy, he has never lost consciousness like he did just now.
Thankfully, it was a close call.
Before Xiao Yu fell into a coma, he had only seen Yun Ting.
He had clearly told Yunting not to say anything that would provoke Xiao Yu, but he didn't know what Yunting had said to him.
Su Lingyue sniffed and asked in a muffled voice, "Your Highness, did Yunting make you angry again?"
Xiao Yu thought for a moment and asked, "What will happen to Yue'er if it's him?"
"I will punish him severely and forbid him from seeing you again." Remembering that he was still working for Xiao Yu, she changed her mind, saying, "Even if he does see you, I must be with him!"
A soft chuckle came from beside her ear, "She just happened to be tired, it has nothing to do with him."
"Seeing Yue'er get angry and shed tears for her husband is worth it."
Su Lingyue raised her hand and gently covered Xiao Yu's lips, saying softly, "Nothing is more important than Your Highness's health. Consider it prejudice; I will never allow Yunting to see Your Highness alone again."
After saying that, he snorted unhappily, "As long as he comes, I will sit here, and the prince cannot chase me away."
*
When Yan Qing arrived at the Hundred Herbs Garden, she asked about the conversation between Doctor Lu and the Prince, and she almost couldn't stand up.
Lingling simply brought over a stool and let him sit down.
Yan Qing asked blankly, "Your Highness really said that? But, but..."
What will he do without the prince?
He had lost his memories of the past, unlike others whose hearts were filled with hatred.
All his memories are of being with the prince. Yunting is also good, but the prince is different. He wants to stay by the prince's side for the rest of his life.
Even knowing that Xiao Yu's illness was difficult to cure, he still couldn't accept that he would have to face losing the prince even after knowing the whereabouts of the other half of the Spirit Fire Grass.
How could he give up?
He can't give up!
If he gives up, the prince's illness will be completely hopeless.
What can we do to save the prince?
After thinking it over, Yan Qing decided to go find Yun Ting.
With the two of them working together, and given their previous tacit understanding, they might still have a chance to retrieve the Spirit Fire Grass.
