Celestial Master Zhang said this and then smashed himself hard against the wall beside him again. But right after, his face twisted up in agony, and he let out a miserable howl of pain: "Ah...!"

"Old Master, Old Master, don’t do this." Lady Zhang was so anxious that tears were spilling out, and she said, heart aching, "Why hurt yourself like this, what’s the point?"

Celestial Master Zhang kept cursing nonstop: "That damned Weirdo, it’s one thing if he crippled himself, but he had to turn me into this ghost of a thing too. How am I supposed to live from now on?"

Lady Zhang wiped her tears as she asked, "Old Master, don’t be like this. As the saying goes, the cart will find a way around the mountain when it gets there."

Celestial Master Zhang was still cursing angrily: "That damned Weirdo."

madam: "Old Master, could it be that you know the one who hurt you?"

Celestial Master Zhang’s hair was all disheveled, his undergarment was soaked through with sweat, and both his arms were covered in bright blood. He ground his teeth and said, "Of course I know him. I’d recognize him even if he turned to ashes."

Lady Zhang was furious too, and asked, "Who on earth is so heartless? To want to ruin you, Old Master?"

Celestial Master Zhang still wanted to say something, but suddenly he crouched down on the ground in pain.

Lady Zhang was scared half to death, and rushed forward, wanting to help him up.

"Don’t... don’t touch me." Celestial Master Zhang was squatting on the ground, groaning in pain.

Lady Zhang looked down and saw a pool of fresh blood spreading under the Old Master.

"Ah... ah... help... someone, come quickly... save the Old Master...!" Lady Zhang seemed to have gone mad, shouting and screaming in the room.

The Maids and Servant boys outside the door heard and all rushed in.

"madam... madam, what’s wrong?"

"Hurry... hurry and go get a Doctor, the Old Master... the Old Master’s wound is bleeding again."

"Yes, yes, got it! madam, don’t worry, we’ll go get a Doctor right away." A few quick-witted Maids, upon hearing this, turned and ran.

Just then, the Fourth Prince arrived with several other officials and ran straight into those Maids.

Two of the Maids crashed right into the Fourth Prince.

The impact made the Fourth Prince frown. He looked at the Maids and asked displeased, "Why are you running around in such a panic? Where are you going?"

The Maids looked up and, seeing it was the Fourth Prince, were so terrified they dropped to their knees with a thud. "Please spare us, Fourth Prince, this maid had no intention of bumping into your honored self. The Honorable Celestial Master’s wound started bleeding again, this maid was rushing to get a Doctor, and accidentally collided with the Fourth Prince."

The Maids were scared half to death, thinking, how could they be this unlucky? Of all people to bump into, they had to run into the Fourth Prince. Even though the Fourth Prince’s eyes were ruined, with the Empress backing him, lowly servants like them could never afford to offend him.

The Fourth Prince frowned and said, "No need to go. I’ve already sent someone to the Imperial Palace to summon an Imperial Physician."

The Maids looked at each other, not knowing what to do for the moment.

The Fourth Prince stepped past them and went into the room with the others.

The scene inside gave them all a shock.

Blood was all over the bed and all over the floor, and on top of that, things had been hurled everywhere; some of them were already smashed to pieces. The entire room was a complete mess.

The Fourth Prince frowned. "What’s going on? How did it end up like this?"

Lady Zhang saw the Fourth Prince come in, hurriedly wiped her tears, and stammered, "We’ve made a spectacle of ourselves before the Fourth Prince. Our Old Master was in such pain he couldn’t take it, he... he threw all that himself."

Right now, Celestial Master Zhang was curled up on the bed, in so much pain that all his clothes were soaked through. His face was wrinkled up like a dried bitter gourd, and he looked at everyone as if they didn’t exist, completely drowning in a pain worse than death.

Lady Zhang’s heart hurt terribly; she cried as she said, "Fourth Prince, look at how pitiful our Old Master is, he... he... wuwuwu...!"

Seeing Celestial Master Zhang in such torment that he wanted to die, Lady Zhang felt she just couldn’t take it.

The Fourth Prince: "madam, don’t panic. I’ve already sent someone to the Imperial Palace to summon an Imperial Physician. I believe the Imperial Physician will be here soon to relieve Celestial Master Zhang’s pain."
