To Hold One's Joy Chapter 49-2

Chapter 49-2: I Am Different

With the tension somewhat diffused, Luo Sheng decided to refocus the conversation on more pressing matters. "Furthermore, rather than wasting time arguing with me, shouldn't we prioritize finding ways to wake Father up?"

Luo Yue bit her lips and muttered: "That's easy for you to say. Numerous imperial doctors have examined Father. If there was a way to wake him up, wouldn't it have happened by now?" Her voice was barely audible. Obviously, she didn't dare to confront Luo Sheng for now.

Observing the young girl's submissive stance, Luo Sheng, being a kind person, didn't plan to press her further. Instead, she turned to Yundong with a serious expression. "Have all the imperial doctors been unable to help?" she inquired.

Yundong nodded gravely.

At that moment, the door swung open, and two individuals entered one after the other. Leading the way was a handsome young man, followed closely by an elderly man with white hair carrying a medicine box.

"How's Godfather?" The young man inquired, seemingly noticing Luo Sheng only after speaking, causing him to slow his pace in surprise. "Sanmei, why are you here?"

"Call me Luo Sheng or Sanguniang," Luo Sheng replied, not intending to answer his question.

Yundong interjected, "Sanguniang rushed back home to see Godfather. It's my fault for not informing you, Dage."

Now fully aware of the newcomers' identities, Luo Sheng recognized the young man as Pingli, the first foster son of Luo Commander. Unlike the other adoptive sons stationed in various places, Pingli had been residing in the Capital under the direct order of Commander Luo, which shows how much Commander Luo values him.

Pingli displayed his way with words as he sighed upon hearing Yundong's explanation. "It's not your fault, Wudi. Everything was in chaos when Godfather collapsed," he reassured. "Imperial Doctor Wang, please examine my Godfather."

Imperial Doctor Wang stepped forward to examine Luo Commander's condition. Pingli and Yundong anxiously asked in unison, "How is he?"

Imperial Doctor Wang stroked his beard and shook his head. "Commander still shows no signs of waking up. I'm afraid he won't last for two more days..."

The room fell silent, and a heavy atmosphere hung in the air.

"I'll see Imperial Doctor Wang out," Pingli offered

But before he could leave, Luo Sheng interjected, "Wait a moment."

All eyes turned to her.

Approaching Imperial Doctor Wang calmly, Luo Sheng inquired, "Can you tell me why my Father has been unable to wake up?"

Having discussed the matter with all the imperial doctors, Imperial Doctor Wang cupped his hands and explained, "It's possible that Commander sustained serious injuries at that time, and his body fell into a special comatose state to protect itself. However, this is just our speculation, as many diseases can be complex and unpredictable."

"That is to say, there is no cure, and no one can treat my Father's current condition?" Luo Sheng's mood sank.

If Commander Luo couldn't be saved, and she lost her honorable status as the daughter of the Jinlin Guards Commander, she still wouldn't give up seeking vengeance for Zhennan Wang Palace. However, this would undoubtedly lead her onto a more arduous path of revenge.

In the worst-case scenario, once she loses Commander Luo's protection, she might be at risk of becoming a trafficked slave. In such a dire situation, she would have to find a way to escape from this predicament and flee the Capital.

Such a detour was something she never wanted to encounter.

As these thoughts weighed on her, Luo Sheng suddenly remembered someone: Divine Doctor Li! He definitely could save Commander Luo! However, her excitement soon waned as she realized that Divine Doctor Li might not even be alive after twelve years. Even if he were alive, finding the reclusive old man would be arduous, and Commander Luo's condition couldn't wait.

Unexpectedly, before Imperial Doctor Wang could respond to Luo Sheng's words, Pingli cleared his throat and said, "Actually, there is one person in the world who can save Godfather, and that is Divine Doctor Li, resides on the outskirts of the Capital."

T/N: An additional chapter will be released tomorrow to celebrate hitting the big 5-0 chapters mark! 🎉

THOJ Chapter 1

 TO HOLD'S ONE JOY  Chapter 1: Devil Incarnate Luo Sheng gazed at the engraved silver incense ball beneath the emerald green curtain. Her eyes, which before had been full of vigor, seemed a little dull now, and the chattering of the little maid in her ears became louder as a result. "Miss, isn't it just a Su Er Gongzi [1] ? If you like him, you could capture him directly, but hanging yourself for him is not worth it, hu hu hu..." Luo Sheng shifted her gaze to the little maid who was crying at the bedside. This little maid's name is Hongdou (red bean), and she can speak and cry at the same time. It's been three days since she heard Hongdou's chatters, and she's gained a general understanding of her situation. Her present body, Luo Sheng, is the daughter of the powerful Commander Luo, the chief commander of Jinlin Guards. She was sent to her maternal ancestral home in Jinsha County, the Sheng family's mansion, where she currently resides, after getti

To Hold One's Joy Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Kaiyang Wang's Greetings Luo Sheng returned to the Luo Mansion and went straight to her room, never stepping outside again. Si Nan had been freed, but it left her feeling burdened. After all, her heart wasn't made of iron. Pingli was furious upon learning that Luo Sheng had killed Si Nan. "Didn't Fifth Brother accompany Third Miss? Why did you allow her to lay her hands on the criminal?" he demanded of Yundong. "Third Miss said that she wanted to speak privately with Si Nan... I'm sorry, Eldest Brother, I didn't anticipate that Third Miss would take such action," Yundong apologized, though his heart harbored no remorse. The man was killed in Jinlin Guards Prison, so the news would remain suppressed unless Pingli chose to disclose it. Pingli might have considered leaking the information if Godfather had not regained consciousness. However, now that Godfather was awake, he didn't think Pingli dared to do so. Pingli obviously also un

To Hold One's Joy Chapter 57-1

 Chapter 57-1: Divine Doctor's Visit The echo of footsteps resonated as an elderly man emerged from behind the screen, causing Luo Sheng's eyelashes to quiver. In comparison to a decade ago, Divine Doctor Li had scarcely changed. His hair remained silver without a hint of other colors, and his eyes shone with more vitality than those of young people. Time seems to have forgotten this old man, leaving his unaltered appearance to evoke a sense of familiarity in Luo Sheng. However, the same couldn't be said for Divine Doctor Li. He stared at the unfamiliar young girl before him with a grim expression and addressed her sternly, "Where's the Yangyuan Pill?" Luo Sheng handed him a small box. Upon opening it and seeing the pills inside, Divine Doctor Li's eyes shrank. He brought the box close to his nose, took a sniff, and his expression soured. "Where did you get this pill?" he asked. Luo Sheng blinked. Her bright eyes showed surprise. "Yo
