The man before them wore a purple-gold crown and a magnificent crimson wedding robe embroidered with gold thread.
Su Xuerong was momentarily dazed. How could Xiao Yuan's appearance have changed so suddenly, and he had also lost a lot of weight?
Not only did his attire change, but his originally cramped new room also became spacious and bright, with the red curtains and double happiness characters hanging everywhere being much more luxurious and high-class.
The man's expression turned very strange.
Overwhelmed with surprise and excitement, his eyes instantly welled up with tears, and he lunged forward to hug her tightly.
“Arong…you’re finally awake…”
Su Xuerong's mind went blank for a moment, but then she was overjoyed: "I...I'm really back?"
It turns out her intuition was right.
She completed her wedding with Xiao Yuan in the illusion, and then she returned as she wished.
Xiao Yuan slowly released her, his voice trembling with a low sob: "What...what's back?"
Su Xuerong reached out and cupped the man in front of her, staring intently at his reddened eyes, and said softly, "It's nothing... Why did you suddenly get married?"
She looked around; there was no one else in the room except the two of them. The candles with big red "double happiness" characters illuminated the entire room, creating a festive atmosphere.
Suppressing his excitement, Xiao Yuan hugged her tightly again: "I have to fulfill your wish..."
Su Xuerong asked in surprise, "Me? What is my wish?"
She herself didn't know.
Xiao Yuan looked at her intently, his eyes gleaming with intense light.
“My mother-in-law said that your wish is for Yuan’er to live a peaceful and healthy life, so I thought that only by marrying you properly can I give her the title of princess, and then you won’t have to worry.”
Su Xuerong looked at the man in front of her, and her eyes suddenly became extremely sore.
Having been given a second chance at life, she truly hoped that her daughter and family would live a peaceful and prosperous life, but she never expected that Xiao Yuan would go to such lengths for her.
She felt a little heavy-hearted, as if she had a thousand words she wanted to say but couldn't utter them.
Su Xuerong couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke Xiao Yuan's gaunt face, her voice choked with emotion as she said, "Thank you..."
Xiao Yuan reached out and took her hand, gently kissing it. "As long as you wake up, I'll do anything for you..."
Su Xuerong stared at him intently, seeing her own reflection in his eyes.
At that moment, all he could see was her.
Tears fell unexpectedly, and she collapsed softly into his arms, her sobs growing louder.
Xiao Yuan held her, somewhat panicked: "What's wrong? Don't cry, don't cry..."
Master Chen specifically instructed that Su Xuerong had been on a liquid diet for the past month and was very weak, so she must not do anything rash.
Xiao Yuan felt that he was subtly reminding him that they should not consummate their marriage.
But then he realized that Su Xuerong couldn't afford to be overjoyed or devastated at this moment.
He held her somewhat nervously and awkwardly, gently coaxing her, "Don't cry, you've been unconscious for over a month, you mustn't be too upset..."
Su Xuerong also felt very weak, so she gradually stopped crying.
Xiao Yuan hurriedly put her back on the bed and carefully covered her with a blanket.
Su Xuerong then realized that she was wearing a gorgeous bright red dress, and she was filled with emotion.
"Should I help you take it off?" Xiao Yuan asked hurriedly.
Su Xuerong thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "I'll wear it for you when I'm fully recovered."
Xiao Yuan saw a blush creep onto her pale face and skillfully began to help her remove her complicated dress.
Su Xuerong looked at him with some surprise as he skillfully undressed her with his long, slender hands.
Xiao Yuan said calmly, "I've gotten quite used to it these past few days."
Su Xuerong's face instantly turned bright red.
This guy!
But soon she gently tugged at his hand: "You should rest too!"
When she woke up and saw his thin and haggard appearance, she guessed that he had been worried and anxious these past few days.
Looking at her shy expression, Xiao Yuan smiled gently, took off his wedding dress, put on a set of inner garments, and lay down beside her.
Su Xuerong suddenly thought of something and immediately became nervous.
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't worry, Lao Zhuangzi specifically instructed us today that we cannot consummate our marriage until you recover."
Su Xuerong: "..."
Her face immediately burned, and she couldn't help but mutter, "I didn't mean that..."
Xiao Yuan stretched out his arm to cover her with the blanket, then kissed her on the cheek: "Go to sleep!"
Su Xuerong hesitated for a moment, then said, "I...I...I'm a little hungry..."
I didn't feel it before, but now that I'm lying down, I'm wide awake and start to feel very hungry.
This feeling is completely different from what I experienced in the illusion before.
She ate in the illusion, but she always felt something was unreal, like she was dreaming.
Perhaps it was a very long dream she had after falling into a coma following the poisoning...
Xiao Yuan immediately got up and pulled a bell by the bedside.
Xiuchun, who was outside the door, hurriedly came in, bowing her head and saying, "Your Highness!"
Su Xuerong hurriedly called out, "Xiuchun!"
Xiuchun looked up abruptly and saw Su Xuerong sitting up on the bed. Her eyes widened instantly, and she rushed over, crying, "Wife, you...you're awake?"
Xiao Yuan, having already dressed again, said, "Your wife is hungry. Go ask the old master what would be a good meal for her right now."
Xiuchun hurriedly wiped away her tears, nodded in agreement, and went out.
"Don't disturb Madam tonight. Tell her tomorrow morning," Xiao Yuan added.
