"How is she?" Chi Yu was very panicked and kept asking while grabbing the doctor's hand.
The doctor was a kind-looking old man. He was usually known for his good temper, but now he was glaring at Chi Yu: "Your wife was pregnant and had such a big shock that she almost lost the baby. How do you think she is doing?"
Chi Yu turned pale in an instant, and his breathing became rapid. The doctor frowned and said, "Okay, your wife is not well yet, don't let her collapse again. Let's go in and take a look."
Chi Yu rushed in without even having time to say thank you.
Tang Wan still had her eyes closed, but her brows were furrowed, her lips were pale, and her face was completely bloodless.
Chi Yu held her hand, which was so thin that it didn't have a trace of flesh. His eyes were filled with guilt. Before he could react, tears began to fall: "I'm sorry, I'm late."
He stroked her thin cheek, feeling sour and painful in his heart. He had been away for too long and she had lost a lot of weight.
He didn't dare to imagine how much she had suffered during the time he was away to become as thin as she is now, so thin that a gust of wind could blow her down.
She was still pregnant with his child. Chi Yu hated herself at this moment. If he could come back earlier, she wouldn't have to suffer so much.
He was now enduring tremendous torment and pain. He wanted to cry, but he couldn't. He was just thinking that if Tang Wan was gone, he would not be able to survive.
"...Hmm" Tang Wanxu, who was in a coma, tightly grasped his hand.
Chi Yu quickly leaned over, gently stroked her hair behind her ears, and responded softly: "I'm here, Wanwan, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Under his comfort, Tang Wan gradually calmed down and her clenched hands loosened a little. She seemed to want to say something, but she never opened her eyes.
At this moment, the doctor standing at the door stepped forward and gently reminded: "She needs to rest, please come with me."
Chi Yu nodded, reluctantly left the bedside, and followed the doctor outside. After taking her pulse for a moment, the doctor's expression became serious: "Although she has passed the critical period, she is now very weak and needs to be taken care of."
"Can she recover?" Chi Yu asked nervously.
The doctor looked at his nervous expression and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm here and will do my best to help her recover. However, she's emotionally unstable right now, so you need to pay more attention to her and never let her get upset again."
Chi Yu nodded repeatedly and said gratefully, "Thank you, doctor. Here is the consultation fee."
The doctor nodded, then wrote a prescription, handed it to Chi Yu, and told him to give Tang Wan the medicine on time.
Chi Yu took the prescription, walked into the room, carefully boiled the medicine, and then personally fed it to Tang Wan bit by bit.
Under his care, Tang Wan gradually calmed down and her face became rosy.
Cheng Du was amazed when he saw this scene outside the door. He never expected that the emperor with such an iron fist would have such a gentle side. Who is this woman?
However, he suddenly remembered something important.
"Your Majesty." Chi Yu raised his hand to stop him from saying the next words and signaled him with his eyes.
"Let's talk outside." Wanwan finally stopped frowning. She couldn't wake her up.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with those villagers?"
Chi Yu's eyes were dark, and veins popped out on the back of his hands. He clenched his teeth, and his eyes were filled with intense hatred. He wanted to kill them all, but then he remembered Tang Wan's instructions. She was so kind and soft-hearted. What if he punished her too severely and she woke up and ignored him?
He took a deep breath and said, "Anyone involved will have their hands and feet chopped off, their eyes gouged out, and their breath left. They will be sent to those people's homes. As for their relatives, they will each be given fifty lashes of the cane and exiled to the northwest."
In fact, these punishments were already very light. If Chi Yu hadn't been afraid that she would be angry, he would have wanted to kill them all, but he couldn't. However, with such a punishment, it would be difficult for them to survive.
Even if they didn't die, they would still be tortured to death on the road in a place like the Northwest.
"Yes." Cheng Du immediately understood what he meant. Those people were those with special fetishes in the capital. If their hands and feet were chopped off and they were tortured, they would not be able to escape.
His Majesty also asked to keep them alive, which was even more painful than death. He couldn't help but feel a chill on his back. Fortunately, he was His Majesty's man.
…………
Three days later, Tang Wan's condition had stabilized a lot. The old doctor said that she was fine and just needed to rest well.
Chi Yu gave him another large reward before carrying Tang Wan to the carriage.
The carriage that Chi Yu brought was extremely luxurious, and it was no different from a small house, with all kinds of eating utensils available.
He was actually very afraid that Tang Wan would be angry with him after waking up, but he had no other choice. He carefully placed Tang Wan on the small bed covered with animal skins and soft cushions, squatted down and stroked her face.
He kissed her cheek, and when he looked at her face again, he found that she had opened her eyes.
Chi Yu's eyes immediately burst into a strong joy: "Wanwan, you finally woke up."
Tang Wan just looked at him with empty eyes, without blinking or answering.
Chi Yu panicked, "Wanwan, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, can you please say something?"
Tang Wan ignored him and just grabbed the pastries on the table and started eating them in big mouthfuls.
She ate quickly and anxiously. Chi Yu was afraid that she would choke, so he quickly poured her a glass of water, but she didn't even look at it.
As she was eating, all the plates on the table suddenly fell over, and some fragments splashed onto Chi Yu's forehead.
Blood slowly flowed down his forehead, but he didn't care about that at all. He hugged Tang Wan and stroked her back again and again: "Okay, baby, it's okay, it's okay."
Tang Wan was caught off guard when he hugged her. She was stunned for a moment, then her eyes turned red, and crystal tears as big as beans slid down her thin cheeks.
She suddenly became furious and bit Chi Yu's neck hard.
Chi Yu hissed and stopped moving. He just held her and let her bite him.
She bit Chi Yu's neck with all her might, leaving a deep tooth mark on it, with blood constantly oozing out.
She was crying. The wind blew in from the window sill, ruffling her hair. She let go of Chi Yu and stared blankly out the window.
There was still blood on her lips, which made her look much better. The blood on her lips looked both enchanting and evil.
Chi Yu was scared. He was afraid of Tang Wan's current appearance and afraid that she would do something stupid.
He didn't care about his still bleeding wound, and tremblingly held her hand: "Sister, please say something, you can punish me however you want, don't ignore me."
Tang Wan turned her head mechanically and looked at the tearful boy in front of her. He was crying so sadly that his body was shaking.
Tang Wan wanted to wipe away his tears, but her hands did not move. She just closed her eyes and stopped looking at him.
