The moment Su Renzhong saw Duanmu Junyu open her eyes, he could hardly believe his eyes and immediately exclaimed with delight, "You're finally awake!"
Before Duanmu Junyu could react, Su Renzhong excitedly clasped his hands together and bowed, exclaiming, "Thank goodness! You're finally awake!"
Duanmu Junyu gave Su Renzhong a blank look, a look so unfamiliar that it frightened Su Renzhong.
"You..." Su Renzhong looked at Duanmu Junyu nervously, afraid of scaring her, and said in a soft voice, "Do you want some water?"
Before Duanmu Junyu could speak, Su Renzhong poured a glass of warm water, then returned to the bedside, half-lifted Duanmu Junyu up, and fed her half a glass of water.
After the warm water was poured down her throat, Duanmu Junyu finally seemed able to speak, looking at Su Renzhong and asking in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?"
Su Renzhong was taken aback by Duanmu Junyu's sudden question. He stared blankly at Duanmu Junyu: "I am Su Renzhong, don't you recognize me?"
Duanmu Junyu wanted to shake her head, but she couldn't shake it at all. Moreover, whenever she tried to think, her head felt like it was being torn apart.
Duanmu Junyu clutched her head in anguish, murmuring, "Who are you? And who am I?"
"Duanmu Junyu!" Su Renzhong, seeing her pained expression, immediately hugged her tightly, his heart aching. "What's wrong with you? Don't you remember anything?"
At this moment, Duanmu Junyu's mind was blank, devoid of anything. Most importantly, whenever she tried to think, her brain would ache as if it were being torn apart, making it hard for her to breathe.
"Medical officer!" Upon seeing this, Su Renzhong immediately called for the medical officer.
When the soldiers outside heard Su Renzhong calling for a medic, they immediately went to help him.
When Mu Wenhai heard that something had happened, he also rushed over with the military doctor.
When everyone rushed into the tent and saw that Duanmu Junyu had woken up, they were all stunned.
"She's awake!" Mu Wenhai exclaimed with delight. He had thought the woman was dead, but who would have thought she would actually wake up?
The military doctors didn't expect Duanmu Junyu to survive. After all, when they examined her before, her pulse was very weak, and everyone thought she definitely wouldn't survive!
Su Renzhong looked at the military doctor and said urgently, "Come and take a look at her, she seems to remember nothing?"
The military doctors were also quite shocked upon hearing this and immediately stepped forward to examine Duanmu Junyu.
Seeing this, Su Renzhong released Duanmu Junyu and laid her flat on the bed. He wanted to step back so that the military doctor could examine her, but before he could step back, Duanmu Junyu grabbed him.
Su Renzhong patted Duanmu Junyu's hand reassuringly, trying to get her to let go of him, but she held on tightly.
Su Renzhong had no choice but to continue staying by her side.
The military doctors carefully examined Duanmu Junyu, mainly checking the injury to the back of her head.
A moment later, the military doctors asked Duanmu Junyu, "The wound on the back of your head has begun to heal, and you've regained consciousness now, so you should be fine. Can't you remember anything?"
Upon hearing this, Duanmu Junyu tried again to recall something, but as soon as she tried to think, her head throbbed with pain, as if something were tearing it apart. She gasped in pain, "I can't remember anything. Who am I? And who are you?"
Duanmu Junyu's question stumped everyone, and they all turned to look at Su Renzhong.
They don't know who she is either. You'd have to ask their general!
Su Renzhong completely ignored the expressions of others, only looking at Duanmu Junyu with heartache: "Has she lost her memory? How could she suddenly lose her memory?"
The military doctors examined Duanmu Junyu's head again and frowned, saying, "Perhaps this girl has suffered a brain injury. Although the external wound has begun to heal, the internal wound in her head has not yet healed, which is why she has lost her memory."
Su Renzhong instantly recalled the scene he saw when he went down the cliff. She had hit the back of her head and was bleeding a lot. She must have had a head injury.
"When will she regain her memory?"
This question stumped the military doctors. One of them said helplessly, "It's hard to say. It depends on when the girl's internal injuries to her head heal. Perhaps she will regain her memory by then."
The military doctors were actually quite unsure of themselves. As military doctors, they were good at treating external injuries, but they really didn't care about internal injuries, especially internal injuries to the brain, which they were even less capable of treating.
Su Renzhong knew that these military doctors had limited medical skills, so he didn't ask any further questions.
Mu Wenhai glanced at the weak Duanmu Junyu, but was quite happy: "I said, isn't it the best thing that she can wake up now? Such a high cliff, and she still managed to survive, which means this girl is very lucky. Why do you care about amnesia or not!"
Upon hearing this, Su Renzhong sighed silently.
Mu Wenhai was right. She was seriously injured this time, and she survived falling from such a high cliff. She was truly blessed to have survived.
If she were an ordinary girl, it wouldn't matter if she had no memories. After all, what matters in life is not the past, but the future.
But she is the Empress of Xiliang! Such an important identity! Now that she has forgotten who she is and lost all her memories, this is extremely important to her!
Given her current state, he dared not send her back to Xiliang.
The person who harmed her has now taken her place and easily killed even the Grand General of Xiliang. If he knew she was still alive, he would definitely try to harm her again.
If she has her memories, he isn't worried. After all, as the Empress of Western Liang, she must have some tricks up her sleeve. Even if she can't bring herself to harm that person, she will still be wary of him.
But now she remembers nothing, as innocent as a blank sheet of paper. If he sends her back to Xiliang now, it's the same as sending her to her death.
Mu Wenhai, unaware of the seriousness of the situation, chuckled and patted Su Renzhong on the shoulder, saying, "I said your wife is awake, why are you so serious? You've just gotten a wife for free, shouldn't you be happy?"
He had genuinely thought the woman was doomed, and even lamented that Su Renzhong was unlucky; he had finally found a woman he liked, only to lose his life like this.
Now look what's happened! This woman didn't die, so Su Renzhong has actually gained a wife!
Seeing Mu Wenhai rambling on again, Su Renzhong glared at him unhappily.
Mu Wenhai, still chuckling, said, "Now that your wife is awake, shouldn't you call it a day and head back to the capital?"
He's already delayed things by several days; if this continues, I really won't be able to explain it when I get back.
The withdrawal of troops back to the capital was indeed a very important matter, especially since the emperor's order to transfer them had been issued.
Su Renzhong frowned and glanced at Duanmu Junyu, who was looking at them with a blank expression, feeling somewhat at a loss.
She woke up, but she had lost her memory. He couldn't take her back to the capital of Eastern Chu, nor could he bear to leave her here alone.
Now he's truly caught in a dilemma once again!
