Arriving at the operating room, Lu Yuan's eyes were indeed wide open.
Mr. Lu and his wife called him by the bedside, but he was lying numbly. He didn't look at anyone, and his face even had no expression.
"Yuan'er. Look at mother. Mother is calling you. Do you hear that?" After calling a few times, Mrs. Lu saw that her son didn't respond and didn't even look at her. She became anxious and reached out to shake his shoulder.
Yuan Qing Ling said hurriedly: "Madam, don't shake him. The blood in his brain has not cleared up yet."
Madam Lu was so frightened that she immediately withdrew her hand and looked up at Yuan Qingling, who had been waiting and taking care of her for several days. She was completely haggard, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying. "Princess, he doesn't recognize anyone even when he wakes up. Take a look." .”
Yuan Qingling walked over and put the medicine box next to the bed, then stretched out her hand and raised it to Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan's eyes did not react to her actions.
Her heart sank slightly, and she reached out to open his eyelids. Her eyes did not move, as if she was unconscious.
He slowly closed his eyes again. He still seemed to be in a coma, breathing and heartbeating independently. He was a living person, but he didn't look like a living person.
Mrs. Lu said in a trembling voice: "Are you scared and confused? Are you crazy? Do you want to ask a mage to come and take a look?"
Yu Wenhao also stepped forward and called him twice, but there was no response, and he didn't even open his eyes.
Yuan Yongyi was very happy, but seeing him like this, she couldn't help but ask Yuan Qingling, "Sister Yuan, why is this happening?"
Yuan Qingling shook her head, took out the stethoscope from the medicine box and listened to her heart. There was a heartbeat and her breathing was normal.
After completing a series of possible tests, she sighed softly.
Seeing everyone looking at her with anxious eyes, she slowly put down her stethoscope, looked at Master Lu and his wife, and said in a deep voice: "Master Lu, Mrs. Lu, I suspect that he has become a vegetative state."
"What? A vegetative state?" Mr. Lu was confused when he heard this, "What is a vegetative state?"
Mrs. Lu's face changed with fright, "Aren't plants dead? Princess, you mean, Lu Yuan..."
Before he could finish his words, he burst into tears.
Yuan Qingling waited for Mr. Lu to comfort her before explaining: "Vegetative state, as the name suggests, is like a plant. It cannot speak, cannot communicate with others, and cannot eat on its own..."
Mrs. Lu didn't wait for her to finish speaking, she cried and shook her head: "How could it be? How could a plant open its eyes? He is not a plant, Princess, you have to save him, he has woken up."
After saying that, he rushed over and slapped Lu Yuan's face gently, crying heartbrokenly, "Son, please open your eyes again and look at your mother. Move quickly. Stop falling asleep. You are going to die." Mother’s life!”
Yuan Yongyi held back tears and asked Yuan Qingling, "Will he get better?"
Yu Wenhao and Mr. Lu, who was extremely sad, also looked at Yuan Qingling, hoping to hear hope from her mouth.
Yuan Qingling was silent for a moment, popularized the concept of vegetative state, and then said: "There are precedents for vegetative people to recover. Life is full of miracles everywhere."
Yuan Qingling's words were a little untrue. Although there was a precedent for a vegetative person to be revived, there were not many medical conditions here. She had no way of knowing how long Lu Yuan could stay alive.
He was unable to eat on his own. He had to use nasogastric feeding to pour liquid food into his stomach. He had to have a gastric tube inserted. There was something in the medicine box...
She rummaged around and found that there was a gastric tube in the medicine box, but with the tube in hand, she didn't know how to tell the Lu family that Lu Yuan would rely on this tube to maintain his life in the future.
She helped Lu Yuan change the sling bottle, administered amino acids, and continued to take anti-inflammatory medicine.
After calling her, it was confirmed that there was no response. Mrs. Lu cried until she almost died. Mr. Lu forcibly helped her back and told her eldest son, Lu Hu, to take care of her here.
Yuan Yongyi dragged Yuan Qingling out and asked with red eyes: "Sister Yuan, tell me the truth, will he never wake up again?"
When she asked this, tears fell down.
Yuan Qingling reached out to wipe her tears, her tone was gentle and helpless, "You have to have confidence in him. I believe he has a strong enough willpower. There are people he cares about here, and he will definitely wake up."
Yuan Yongyi's round face was covered with tears, and she asked in a choked voice: "Then how can I help him?"
"Talk to him more and talk about things he is interested in." Yuan Qingling knew that she couldn't do anything now, and she felt very sorry for her and Lu Yuan.
Yuan Yongyi cried and said: "Actually, I was the one who hurt him. If I hadn't kept asking him to go out and play with me everywhere, nothing would have happened to him that day. In fact, the old man at the Shanshen Temple had already said that he was in trouble, and I should be vigilant.
I should have sent him home that day, why was I so careless?"
"Don't blame yourself. This was intentional harm and has nothing to do with you." Yuan Qingling comforted her.
"Sister Yuan, what will happen if he doesn't wake up in the future?" Yuan Yongyi covered her mouth and burst into tears.
Yuan Qingling quickly hugged her and comforted her, "Don't cry, you have to believe that he will wake up. There are miracles everywhere in the world. I have personally seen a vegetative person wake up."
Yuan Yongyi has been holding back the sadness in her heart for the past few days, and now she is out of control when she cries.
King Qi looked at her under the locust tree, feeling particularly sad.
He had said many things against his will, such as saying that he would bless her and Lu Yuan, as long as she was happy, but those words were just to comfort himself and put a noble hat on himself to aggrieve himself.
But now he sincerely hopes that Lu Yuan can wake up, and he will also sincerely wish them a happy life.
Yuan Yongyi hugged Yuan Qingling and cried for a while. When she raised her head, she saw King Qi standing under the locust tree.
He nodded slightly at her, with an encouraging light in his brows.
Yuan Yongyi can now face him calmly, as if the past has been sealed away. She knows that it is Lu Yuan's credit that she can survive this period of time.
Thinking of this, she felt sour in her heart again.
King Qi turned around and left, determined to find the murderer for Lu Yuan at all costs.
He posted a reward notice in the name of Prince Qi's Mansion, and anyone who saw the man in black passing by or noticed any unusual movement in the alley that night would be rewarded.
He finally offered a reward of 200,000 taels of silver to encourage anyone who knew the murderer to come forward and report it.
This method is the most direct method. Yu Wenhao also thought about using this method, but the Jingzhao Mansion has limited funds and can give some rewards, but it cannot come up with 200,000 taels of silver.
Every day, many people came to Jingzhao Mansion to report news. Of course, many of them were false. King Qi took the trouble to have people record them one by one.
He thought that since it was not very late that day and there were people on the street, someone must have seen it.
Three days after the reward was posted, King Qi screened the information one by one and found that one person's words were very reliable.
