"My eldest sister has woken up. She seems to be in a lot of pain. Quickly, call the imperial physician."
Upon hearing this, Leng Chuchen's face turned cold, and she then growled in a low voice to the people beside her.
"Quickly summon the imperial physician."
After leaving those words, he strode into the room, quickly went to Luo Zhiwan's bedside, and seeing her covered in sweat from the pain, he tenderly wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Zhiwan, don't be afraid, the imperial physician will be here soon."
"It hurts, it hurts so much..."
When Luo Tianhe removed the hidden weapon from her, he did so raw, and she fainted several times from the pain.
When the imperial physician came to bandage her wound, he only changed the cotton swabs and used hemostatic medicine. He didn't give her any anesthetic. Besides, there was no anesthetic in ancient times. Plus, so much flesh had been cut out of her arm. It's no wonder it hurt.
A moment later, the imperial physician arrived in a hurry, and Leng Chuchen asked impatiently:
"How can we prevent her from feeling pain?"
The imperial doctor hurriedly returned.
"Your Highness, Miss Luo's wound is too deep, and the bone is exposed. There is no way to stop the pain, so she can only endure it."
"Then give her a sleeping pill, let her sleep, and stop her from being in pain like this."
"But if she doesn't eat or drink, she will become malnourished, which will affect the healing of her wounds. I don't recommend doing that."
"What should we do? She's in so much pain..."
He looked at the sweat pouring from her forehead and felt as if his heart was being clenched by something.
The imperial physician shook his head.
"This old minister can only prescribe anti-inflammatory remedies to speed up Miss Luo's wound healing, but he cannot relieve the pain."
"roll!"
Leng Chuchen shouted impatiently, and Luo Zhiwan quickly called out to him.
“Leng Chuchen…”
"Zhiwan, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of you."
Although her lips were pale and her face was bloodless, she still shook her head with a light laugh.
"It's not your fault. I'm a grown adult; you can't take me everywhere you go!"
"I couldn't do it before, but I will definitely do it in the future. I will stay by your side every step of the way and never let such a thing happen again."
"Oh……"
She laughed, a laugh tinged with sorrow and helplessness.
In fact, she had already guessed that the person who wanted to kill her was still Empress Qi, but she was unwilling to ask him directly or expose him in front of him.
When Jiawang's mother and Yiming brought in the chicken soup, he immediately took the bowl from her. "Aunt Luo, let me do it. Yiming, take Grandma to bed."
Yiming looked at his mother, who had already woken up, and smiled with a pout.
"Mother, you must take good care of yourself. Yiming is taking Grandma out now."
Despite the pain, Zhiwan smiled and nodded at him.
"Mom knows. Take good care of Grandma and Auntie."
Yiming nodded in agreement and then left with Jiawang's mother.
Leng Chuchen then picked up the soup spoon, blew on it, and fed it to her.
"Have some chicken soup to nourish your body. I'll ask the kitchen to make some pig's trotter soup and pigeon soup later. Just tell me what you want to eat. From today onwards, I will always stay by your side."
This was his first time taking care of someone, and although he was a little inexperienced, he was very careful.
"You are the Crown Prince, you have many important matters to attend to, you don't need to stay by my side all the time."
"What use am I, the crown prince, if I can't even protect my own women?"
"But that was an accident..."
"I know best whether it was an accident or not, but don't worry, I promise you that this kind of thing will never happen again. I, Leng Chuchen, will protect you even if it costs me my life."
His casual words warmed her heart, and he continued to feed her the chicken soup...
Having not slept all night and been busy all day today, Jiawang's mother was feeling quite tired. After arriving at the side room of Donghui Courtyard, she told Zhiruo to go to sleep.
Zhiruo, however, was wide awake.
"Mom, I'm going out for some fresh air. You and Yiming go to sleep first!"
"It's so late, where are you going?"
"I'll be right at the door, I won't go far, I'll be back in a bit."
"Okay, then come back soon, I'm really sleepy."
As she spoke, she covered Yiming with the blanket, lay down, and fell asleep in no time.
Ever since her belly started to show, Zhiruo has had to wear an extra layer of clothing every day to cover her slightly protruding belly.
It was already dark, and it was pitch black outside. She could finally go out with peace of mind.
She took off her oversized outer coat, feeling relaxed as she stepped out the door into the courtyard. Looking at the guards filling the courtyard, she then stepped out of the gate of Donghui Courtyard.
A gentle breeze is blowing tonight, giving a cool and pleasant feeling.
However, tonight the moon only showed a small crescent, and the light emitted by that crescent was not enough to dispel the darkness.
Ever since she arrived in the capital, she has been trying her best to conceal her pregnancy, but the baby in her belly is getting bigger and bigger. How will she hide it in the future? What about after the baby is born?
Although she had long been prepared that after the child was born, she would suffer the same scorn and contempt as her older sister had, she felt that she did not have the courage of her older sister when she thought about that day.
She walked along, worried and lost in thought, until she reached the backyard. Looking at the moon's reflection in the pond, she breathed a sigh of relief, bent down and sat by the river, enjoying the moment of peace when she was all alone.
Ever since she found out she was pregnant, she has preferred to be alone, the quieter the better, like now, with no one to bother her.
In the pavilion not far away, Wei Tiancheng, unable to sleep, sat alone, looking at the moon in the sky and then at the moon reflected in the water, listening to the chirping of insects and birds, lost in thought.
