Chapter 154: Recovering
When Chen Qi woke up, Xiao Ling was standing beside her, stirring a bitter medicine. Two imperial doctors were standing behind the screen, considering her prescription.
Although Chen Qi felt a pain in her forehead and a dry throat, she still opened her mouth to ask.
"he……"
Xiao Ling knew what she wanted to ask most without her having to finish.
"The Second Master has woken up."
After hearing this, Chen Qi was stunned for a long time, then she felt her whole body relax and fell on the pillow, but in just a moment, she struggled to get up again.
"I'll go see him."
Xiao Ling knew that she was bound to go and couldn't be stopped, but she still stopped her.
"Drink this bowl of medicine first."
Chen Qi, who was most afraid of drinking bitter medicine, took the bowl of medicine from her hand and drank it all in one gulp.
…
When Xie Yuduo just woke up, the person he saw was Yu Jing.
This is not right.
Although he was unconscious, he already knew in his heart that the person next to him was Chen Qi, whom he thought about day and night.
But, I finally managed to open my eyes, why couldn't I see her?
"elder brother!"
"What about her?"
Yu Jing had noticed that her brother was about to wake up, and she was surprised and happy. When he finally opened his eyes, she knew he would ask this question, and she had already prepared the answer.
"My sister-in-law...is in front of the Bodhisattva statue, praying for you, brother, and making a wish. She hopes you will recover soon."
Xie Yuduo didn't quite believe it after hearing it.
"Send her over."
"My sister-in-law instructed me to pray to the Buddha with sincerity and never give up halfway."
"Then I'll go find her."
He was so weak that he couldn't get up. Yu Jing quickly helped him lie down.
"My sister-in-law has made a solemn vow. For your speedy recovery, she must pray sincerely. No one can disturb you... not even you."
“Hmm…”
Xie Yuduo began to believe it a little bit. This was indeed something that Chen Qi could do.
He had been ill for a long time. Although he could wake up, he was still weak. After a while, he fell into a coma again.
Yu Jing hurriedly called the imperial physician over. She was so nervous that she almost crushed the handkerchief in her hand.
Fortunately, the imperial physician said that there was nothing wrong with him, and he woke up in just over half an hour.
"Where's Yue'er?"
He seemed to have forgotten that he had asked this question before.
Yu Jingqiang steadied his breath and repeated the nonsense again.
After he asked this question, he fell asleep again.
Every one or two hours, he would fall asleep for a while and then wake up for a while...
Ask again.
The jade mirror answered again and again.
Fortunately, Chen Qi was just overly tired and exhausted for several days, so she was unconscious for most of the day. Her body was much better than his who was seriously ill.
She drank the medicine here, and after calming down a little, she went to see him.
"Where is the moon?"
Xie Yuduo asked again.
Chen Qi sat at the head of the bed and put her head close to him with a smile.
"I'm here."
Xie Yuduo smiled gently when he saw her. Although he was still very weak, there was some light in his eyes.
Seeing that his smile was so weak, Chen Qi felt a pang of pain in her heart and could not help shedding tears. Then she saw him reaching out his hand to her and quickly grasped it.
The hand that was once the strongest and most powerful is now skinny... but still warm.
"Your forehead...what's wrong?"
Chen Qi knelt and worshipped all night, and his forehead was bleeding. It was now bandaged with cotton cloth, and a little blood was faintly seeping out.
He was already so ill, yet he still asked about his own injury. Shen Qi felt a pang in her heart.
"My enemy, you still want to ask me? I also want to ask you, you have been unconscious for so long, what happened to you, your body, and your whole body?"
Xie Yuduo smiled weakly, actually trying to make a joke.
"It's okay. I haven't slept this well in a long time. It helps to relieve my fatigue."
He was still looking at the wound on Shen Qi's forehead.
Chen Qi held his hand, forced a smile, and reassured him.
"So... the Bodhisattva took a liking to me and wanted to transform me into a servant. But seeing that I was deeply concerned about you, my enemy from a previous life, she blamed me for clinging to the mundane world. She only drew this red dot on my forehead and sent me back..."
She said it easily, but her heart ached, tears streamed down her face, and she couldn't help but hold his hand tightly.
"...My dear, you really scared me to death."
Xie Yuduo smiled slightly and squeezed her palm.
"Don't worry, I haven't grown old with you yet in this life... Even if I have to crawl, I will crawl back from the underworld to find you."
Chen Qi couldn't bear to hear the King of Hell's words. She felt sad and asked him to speak less. She asked someone to bring the medicine and fed him one mouthful at a time.
Illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like a thread being pulled.
Fortunately, he is getting better day by day.
…
From that day on, Xie Yuduo's time spent awake became longer and longer, and he was able to eat more and more.
It took another ten days before he could get out of bed and walk.
Although he lost a lot of weight after suffering a serious illness, one can still tell from his physique that he is a man who can travel alone and do great things at the age of seventeen or eighteen.
During his recovery at home, if he felt better, Xie Yuduo would tell Chen Qi about what happened on the road, the scenery he saw along the way, the soldiers he met at the border, and how he was stabbed...
It was scattered here and there, mixed with my longing for her.
After a month or two, when he felt better, Xie Yuduo began to go to the study to meet guests. He felt that he had recovered, and sometimes he would kiss her briefly and still want to stay with her as before.
Chen Qi's refusal was more resolute than any other time in his life. She even held his clothes tightly, making him understand clearly that this was absolutely impossible.
After being decisively rejected, Xie Yuduo was still reluctant to leave, so he had to drink the medicine obediently, and only then could he get a kiss from time to time.
It took more than a month before he fully recovered. He was able to travel on horseback again and regain some of the weight he had lost.
After he recovered, he found that his wife was a little different from before.
Chen Qi started to eat vegetarian food every day, and would worship the Buddha every morning before going to bed. On the first and fifteenth days of each month, she would go to the temple to burn incense.
When Xie Yuduo saw this, he couldn't help but tease him.
"Yue'er, you look like a little nun in a temple now."
Chen Qi's expression was particularly correct and serious.
"You don't understand. I have an agreement with the Bodhisattva."
However, this little nun can only do it during the day. At night, Xie Yuduo becomes more like a child, asking for candy everywhere.
Chen Qi took pity on him as he had just recovered from a serious illness, and was particularly accommodating to him, giving him whatever he asked for without any hesitation, which really made him very happy.
After the clouds and rain dissipated, he lifted her chin and narrowed his eyes.
"Little nun, you really make me very happy."
He was very satisfied because Chen Qi didn't dare to hit him.
…
Xiaowu and Xiaoling worked together, lived up to everyone's expectations, worked day and night, and made painstaking plans, and finally collected the last installment of military pay.
On the day when the silver was handed over to the court, Chen Qi suddenly felt a little nauseous.
Xie Yuduo took a quick look and immediately asked someone to call a doctor.
She is pregnant again.
Xie Yuduo guessed correctly and was overjoyed. He laughed out loud and hugged her and spun around several times.
Although he had recovered from his illness long ago, Chen Qi was still very worried about his health and told him to let go of himself.
"Look at you, you're already a father of two, and you're even happier than when you first found out you were going to be a father."
"Haha, a person who originally had only half his life left has created another life. Isn't that happy? Yue'er, this time we are not doing a losing business!"
Because she was pregnant, Chen Qi only persisted in being a vegetarian for a few months and ended it here.
Xie Yuduo has made a prediction ever since the child was diagnosed by the doctor.
"It must be a daughter."
Chen Qi stroked her waist and smiled.
"Oh, Second Master, can you take a pulse?"
"No. But I always feel that this child is so charming to me, she must be a daughter."
Xie Huailang, who was standing next to his parents, also heard this.
"Happy! I'm going to have a little sister! Eh? No... this means... it seems to mean... Daddy!!!"
