Before he could finish speaking, a loud "bang" rang out. Lu Gong slammed his hand on the table, his eyes wide with anger, and shouted, "What did you say? How dare you utter such treasonous words! Say it again!"
The sudden roar made Lü Zhi involuntarily shrink back, but she quickly regained her composure, straightened her back, and looked directly into Lü Gong's eyes without fear, saying again, word by word, earnestly: "I want to annul the engagement."
Lord Lü abruptly stood up from his seat, his eyes wide open, glaring at Lü Zhi, and shouted angrily, "You ungrateful girl! Don't you understand? This Liu Ji will surely rise to prominence and become a prominent figure in the future! At that time, countless noble ladies will be scrambling to marry him! I'm making the decision for you now, betrothing you to him. You'll be grateful to me in the future!"
However, Lü Zhi stubbornly shook her head and firmly replied, "Father, I do not wish to marry this man."
Seeing this, Lü Gong lowered his voice slightly and whispered in Lü Zhi's ear, "Zhi'er, your father loves you the most, you should know that, right? Your father has the ability to read faces. When I first saw Liu Ji, I sensed a faint dragon aura in his face! Zhi'er, do you know what this means?"
Empress Lü was startled, immediately understanding the underlying meaning in her father's words. Dragon aura? Didn't that mean Liu Ji was likely to become a powerful figure in the future? But the Liu Ji before her was clearly a penniless young man. Could he really achieve such great things? However, her father's physiognomy was always incredibly accurate, never wrong. For a moment, Empress Lü was caught in a deep dilemma and confusion. What choice should she make?
Empress Lü frowned slightly, and asked softly as if deep in thought, "Father, why do you think Liu Ji is unconscious?" A hint of doubt was revealed in her beautiful eyes.
Upon hearing this, Lord Lü looked troubled. He stroked his beard and pondered for a moment before saying, "This... I truly do not know! This matter is quite strange, and I am completely clueless." With that, he shook his head helplessly.
Lü Zhi bit her lip and continued, "What if Liu Ji never wakes up? Does that mean I'll have to live a life of widowhood? What will become of my marriage?" As she spoke, her eyes gradually reddened, and her voice trembled slightly.
Lu Gong sighed and said slowly, "Zhi'er, don't be anxious. Liu Jiji is blessed by Heaven and will surely wake up. And even if he doesn't wake up for a while, we can still find a way."
Empress Lü raised her eyes, her gaze filled with anticipation. Lü Gong said, "I've heard there's a miraculous physician in Nanshan, whose skill can bring the dead back to life. Perhaps he can awaken Liu Ji. I will send someone to invite him tomorrow."
Although Lü Zhi was still unwilling, she thought that if Liu Ji could really be cured, refusing the marriage would make her seem unreasonable. So she silently nodded.
Time flies like an arrow, and a few days passed in the blink of an eye. Finally, the legendary physician was invited to Pei County. Lu Gong hurriedly led the physician straight to Liu Ji's location. When the physician saw Liu Ji unconscious and seemingly asleep, a look of astonishment crossed his face. He quickly stepped forward and carefully examined Liu Ji. However, despite numerous attempts, this highly skilled physician remained helpless and completely baffled by Liu Ji's unconscious state.
Upon seeing this, Lü Gong hurriedly and anxiously asked, "Divine Physician, do you have any miraculous method to revive Liu Ji?"
The divine physician slowly shook his head, replying with a puzzled expression, "This person's pulse is stable, and on the surface, his body appears perfectly healthy. But why he has fallen into such a coma, I truly cannot fathom. Allow me to return and study this further." Although deeply disappointed, Lu Gong could only nod helplessly in agreement. He then personally saw the divine physician out, expressing his deepest gratitude before turning back into the house.
When Lü Gong turned his gaze back to Liu Ji lying on the bed, he suddenly shuddered as if struck by lightning. The faint dragon aura that Lü Gong had previously sensed on Liu Ji had vanished without a trace! Lü Gong rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then leaned closer to Liu Ji, scrutinizing him intently. But no matter how closely he looked, he couldn't detect even the slightest trace of dragon aura on Liu Ji.
What on earth is going on? Lu Gong couldn't help but ponder this in his heart. Just a month ago, he had personally witnessed Liu Ji emanating a faint dragon aura, a scene still vivid in his mind. But now, the unconscious Liu Ji showed no dragon aura whatsoever. What could be the reason for this? Had something unexpected happened? This mystery weighed heavily on Lu Gong's mind, leaving him utterly perplexed.
Lord Lü frowned, filled with doubt, yet unable to come up with a solution. What should he do now? Could it be that Liu Ji's continued unconsciousness had caused the dragon aura that originally resided within him to vanish? Or had some unexpected event occurred during this time, causing this mysterious dragon aura to dissipate without a trace? Filled with worry, Lord Lü slowly returned to the Lü residence, his face etched with anxiety.
As soon as they entered the mansion, Lü Zhi noticed her father's somber face, as if shrouded in a heavy gloom. Seeing this, Lü Zhi quickly followed her father into the study. Once they were seated, Lü Zhi softly asked, "Father, did that divine physician say anything? When will Liu Ji wake up?"
Lü Gong did not answer Lü Zhi's question, but paced back and forth in the room, appearing anxious. Lü Zhi stood quietly to one side, silently observing her father's every move. After a long while, Lü Gong finally stopped, turned to look at Lü Zhi, and said in a deep voice, "Zhi'er, regarding your marriage, let's wait until Liu Ji wakes up before discussing it further."
Hearing this, Lü Zhi clearly sensed her father's distress and inner turmoil. Knowing it was not the right time to ask any more questions, she obediently nodded and replied, "Your daughter understands. I will leave everything to Father's discretion." With that, she gave a slight bow, then turned and slowly left the study.
