The old man was in a stable mood, but he couldn't help but look worried and toss and turn all night, unable to sleep.
Azi was undoubtedly the one who was in the most unbearable pain. Seeing her father, mother, grandfather, and brother Yimeng unable to eat or sleep because of him, she secretly made a decision.
If A-Cheng didn't come looking for her within seven days, she wouldn't keep the child, nor would she ever leave the village again. Thinking this, her mind gradually cleared, and she felt a little better.

At the Prefect's residence, Emperor Jinghan and Prefect Liu watched as the imperial physician administered acupuncture to Emperor Jingcheng, their faces filled with worry.
"Imperial Physician, why hasn't the Emperor woken up yet? It's been so many days!"
"Your Highness, although His Majesty's life is not in danger, his injuries are very serious. I heard from Lord Cheng that His Majesty has been kneeling for half a month without getting up, and has barely eaten or drunk anything. His body is severely depleted, and he has also suffered serious external injuries, so it is natural that he sleeps for a long time."
"Do you know how long it will take for my brother to wake up?"
"In my humble opinion, Your Majesty will wake up in the next two days, but will need to stay in bed and will have difficulty moving around."
Di Jinghan nodded: "That's good, that's good."
Finally, on the morning of the ninth day of his coma, Di Jingcheng regained consciousness. The first thing he did upon opening his eyes was to look for Azi, but as soon as he moved, the crisscrossing wounds on his body caused him to fall back onto the bed in pain.
Cheng Er entered carrying the medicine, overjoyed: "Your Majesty! You've finally woken up! This humble subject will go and inform the Princess immediately!"
Upon discovering that he was in the room of the prefect's residence, Di Jingcheng instantly became agitated and grabbed Cheng Er's hand, demanding, "Where's Azi?!"
Cheng Er was startled by his fierce and sharp gaze, and quickly knelt down by the bedside: "Your Majesty, please don't get agitated, take care of your health. The Empress is safe and sound in the tribe, so please don't worry."
Although Emperor Jingcheng was injured, he still possessed great strength due to his internal energy. He shook off Cheng Er and tried to get up, but Cheng Er quickly stepped forward and pressed him down: "Your Majesty, you cannot get out of bed!"
Di Jingcheng supported himself with his hands, his back aching terribly. He tried to put weight on his legs but found he had no strength, and he fell back onto the bed.
"Damn it! Where's Cheng Yi?! Tell him to get in here!"
Everyone rushed over upon hearing the commotion, and they were incredibly excited to learn that Emperor Jingcheng had woken up. However, upon entering the room, they found the emperor in a frenzy, spouting the Empress's name repeatedly; he had clearly gone mad.
Cheng Yi was covered in blood, his neck gripped by the enraged emperor, his face turning bluish-purple.
