Qi Huai thought he was dead, but he didn't expect that there would be a day when he would wake up.
He blinked hard and turned his head, trying to see his surroundings clearly.
The decoration is very warm, and there is a faint smell of medicine in the room. Has he been rescued?
"Ah Huai, Ah Huai, you're awake. That's great. I'll go find the princess."
Before I could see clearly, the familiar voice faded away, and not long after, someone else came in.
"He's recovering quite well. If he keeps going like this, he'll be able to get out of bed in a couple of days."
Xunmi took a look at the healed wound and took his pulse, and gained a new understanding of the recovery ability of the ancients.
If you think about it carefully, the fact that ancient people generally lived long lives may be related to their physical fitness.
Living conditions were not as good and the hardships were greater. Even the highest rulers had experienced the battlefield.
Modern people’s living environment has changed, with heavy pollution, so their bodies are naturally more delicate.
Of course this is not absolute, but most phenomena are like this.
After prescribing a prescription, he handed it to Wang Tongyu, "Feed him the medicine later, and then give him some liquid food."
He stood up and walked to the bedside, just in time to meet Qi Huai who was fully awake.
Seeing the surprise in the other person's eyes, Xunmi said calmly, "Don't think too much. Although you are not the child of the late Crown Prince and Crown Princess, he is the child of his uncle."
Qi Huai was stunned. Things changed too quickly and he was a little unable to react.
"Well, then go back and be your emperor. As long as you don't have any inappropriate thoughts, I won't take action."
Qi Yefeng's voice came from the door, and he briefly recounted what happened that year.
The former Crown Princess, Xunmi's mother, was a woman from the Jianghu, and the person she loved was not the former Crown Prince.
Because of a dispute, the two were in opposing positions and agreed to elope.
But on the way to elope, they were chased. In order to protect her, her lover led the killer away.
It happened that the former crown prince passed by at that time, rescued her from her miscarriage, and fell in love with her at first sight.
Not only did he send people to look for her lover, he also gave her the status of Crown Princess.
Because she had someone in her heart, she kept refusing until she found the body of her lover.
She was pregnant, had no ability to protect herself, and her family had abandoned her. She had no choice but to stay.
She also wanted to leave the most stable support for her children.
But she didn't know that her child was switched after she gave birth.
The royal family needs an heir, and the former crown prince also needs a son.
He respected her and liked her, so he never forced her. It can be said that the former prince always considered her in every way.
But he kept this secret from her until his death.
Ge Wensi happened to know about this because the steward of the palace who returned home that year told his son about this past event before he died.
Then his son was bragging outside, and he got caught by luck.
When Xunmi learned the whole story, he couldn't help but sigh.
A prince from a poor and remote place would actually go there, tut tut tut...
Four people who knew the truth were the prince and princess of the palace, the steward who handled all the small details, and the late crown prince.
Now, these people are all dead.
Qi Huai looked stunned and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Is that really the case?
"My brother was originally going to send you to the palace, but on the way, the butler went... well, he left you alone in the carriage, and when he came back, you were gone."
Speaking of this, Qi Yefeng felt a little embarrassed.
He didn't know how much she had suffered in her childhood, but he would never let her suffer again.
"You mean my mother's name is Lin Xian'er? What does that have to do with Lin Jiang?"
Xunmi suddenly asked, this surname was really too rare, so rare that she was suspicious.
"They are brother and sister." Qi Yefeng recalled the information he had found. "It was only after he discovered your appearance that he thought of your mother."
"As for whether he told your mother, I don't know."
After all, the parties involved have long been buried and there is no one who knows the truth, so this is an unsolvable mystery.
Xunmi remained noncommittal, as she felt that some things were better left unseen.
"But I was taken away by my master, the master of the Divine Doctor Valley."
"My master told me that someone had abandoned me on the roadside, and he found me because of my crying, so he picked me up."
Now that I think about it, this was all a misunderstanding o(╯□╰)o
Qi Yefeng took her hand, held it in his palm, and said solemnly: "I will protect you from now on."
These few simple words carry with them an indescribable solemnity and majesty.
It was like a mountain, pressed against her back, so safe.
Xunmi thinks that a husband who says sweet words is very attractive, and even more intoxicating when he says sweet words that are not sweet words.
Nodding, Yingying smiled lightly: "Okay."
Wang Tongyu and Qi Huai stared at the two people walking away, with blessings and indescribable envy.
Their status is obviously not as high as theirs, but they live more freely and happily than them.
Those who have long understood the importance of cherishing now understand even more that as long as they are happy and live a good life, that’s enough.
"Xiao Yu, I will protect you from now on." Qi Huai retracted his gaze and said to the person standing by the window.
"Okay, but now, you have to take the medicine and get better."
He sat down beside the bed, scooped up a spoonful of black Chinese medicine, and fed it to the person lying on the bed with a smile.
"It's a bit bitter." The malicious man waited until the other person drank it before speaking.
Qi Huai's face wrinkled into a ball, and he cried, looking for revenge /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
In the past, the medicines prepared by the Imperial Hospital were not bitter, but this one is so bitter that it makes me question my life.
I deliberately didn't add licorice, and smiled calmly: the bitterer it is, the better the effect.
Just when Qi Huai was able to walk again, a group of uninvited guests arrived at the Prince of Huai's Mansion.
"Did you get stung by a wasp? But why are you running to the gate of our palace? Hurry up and leave."
Pan Ling looked at the person lying on the chair being carried to the door, whose face could not be seen. Although he was confused in his heart, he looked very dissatisfied.
I had already calculated the time and went back to the Valley of Divine Doctors with my husband to look for her, and I had no idea what was happening at the moment.
Showing mercy to Qi Huai is already the limit.
That was impossible for Govensi, who had instigated everything. It was already a mercy on her part to let him live.
Shen Yu, who came to see the emperor, also happened to appear at the gate of the palace.
For a moment, several people met, but they all fell into silence.
Gowensi's fate was like a warning, reminding them that they were fine. It wasn't that they were really fine, but that the two of them just didn't want to.
"Since the emperor has recovered from his injuries, please return. Our palace will be closed to visitors."
Pan Ling strictly followed the orders of his princess and asked people to leave in a polite manner.
Qi Huai looked at the people who were still struggling outside, and then looked at the palace which had become empty at some point in time.
"Please thank the emperor's uncle and aunt for me." Thank them for showing mercy and thank them for giving me the opportunity.
The moment he turned around, the door of the palace slowly closed behind him.
This level has never been opened again.
