Her tone was very anxious, "Why did you block the arrow for me? Are you stupid?"
"Aren't you stupid? Why did you rush over to me?" Si Chao replied to her.
However, he had to admit that when Tu Qingyu pounced on him, he was truly overjoyed.
Even if he got hit, he was happy.
"Let's not talk about this for now, let's get out of here."
"No, it will be over soon."
It was indeed done quickly. Almost the moment he finished speaking, the fighting stopped.
She didn't care about the current situation, but just kept shouting, "Where's the imperial physician? Call the imperial physician quickly!"
"It's okay, I'm hiding."
She lowered her head in self-blame, tears streaming down her face. "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been shot by the arrow."
This was the first time Si Chao saw her cry like this. He felt both happy and distressed.
But he didn't keep saying it didn't hurt. He realized that this was a good opportunity to get closer.
The imperial physician arrived quickly, and the arrow was indeed not shot far enough.
When the arrow was pulled out, he was lying on the bed, his forehead covered with sweat, gritting his teeth and groaning.
Seeing this commotion, his personal eunuch Guangbing couldn't help but take a few glances.
This is really pitiful and pampered.
I remember the time when His Majesty fought the most fiercely with his brothers.
Once, he was tricked into falling off a carriage, and his thigh hit a sharp object. The wound was so deep that the bone was visible, and it was no less serious than the one he has now.
His Majesty didn't even frown. He dragged his injured leg, fought back first, and then went to see the late emperor.
This isn't a serious injury now, can I really cry out in pain?
Turning around and seeing the distressed look in the eyes of Empress Zhaoyi, he realized that he understood His Majesty.
After the imperial physician had administered the medicine, he stood up and reported, "Although it's just the shoulder, it's a serious injury. He'll need to recuperate for a while."
"Then the back of your Majesty's shoulder may be restored to its original state?"
"It's natural. Just stay out of the water and avoid overexerting yourself for the next few days. Just get some rest."
"Thank you, Imperial Physician."
"This is all my duty. I will go down and boil the medicine now."
"Go ahead."
The imperial physician went out, and Guangbing also packed up and tactfully led his men out.
She sat on the edge of the bed and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. "Does it hurt?"
Without waiting for his answer, she continued to mutter to herself, "Look at me, how could I not feel pain... It's all my fault, if I hadn't run away..."
Before she could finish her words, her hand was held.
"I don't blame you. I'm glad you came." He hissed softly as if he had pulled a wound. Seeing Tu Qingyu's face tense, he asked cautiously, "Can you call me Wulang again?"
She paused, then snorted softly and turned her head away, no longer looking at anyone.
Just when he was about to feel disappointed, he heard her whispering, "Wulang..."
The timid and delicate call of "Wu Lang" made him feel that the pain in his wounds was gone.
He chuckled softly, and Tu Qingyu frowned, "You're already like this, and you're still laughing?"
"I'm happy. I think this arrow is worth it." He grinned.
Tu Qingyu hit his back lightly, "Pah, pah, pah, what's the value of this!"
"It's worth it." He looked up at her straight in the eyes, "Now that the thief has been dealt with, why don't you move in with me?"
"The doctor said you need to rest. Why would I move here?"
"If you don't move here, I will want to see you. The distance, the round trip..." He didn't finish his words, but his meaning was already very clear.
Seeing Tu Qingyu frowning and thinking, he continued, "Qingyu, you don't know how hard it has been for me to endure not seeing you these past few days. If I had known you would come anyway, why would I have endured this?"
"Who told you not to tell me anything?"
"I'm just afraid you'll worry."
She curled her lips, clearly not meaning what she said. "Ridiculous, who would worry about that?"
"Really?" He laughed again, "Who was that who rushed over like he was risking his life?"
"I didn't think that much at the time." She lowered her head, blaming herself. "Thinking back, it was indeed dangerous. I could have tackled you and we wouldn't have gotten hurt, but I...my mind was completely blank. I couldn't think of anything."
"I know, caring too much can make you confused." He comforted her, "I'm happier than anything else that you can come, even if..."
Tu Qingyu quickly covered his mouth with a fierce look in his eyes, "Don't say it!"
The soft palm pressed against his lips, and there was that camellia scent again.
He felt dizzy for a moment, but only recovered after she took her hand away. "Okay, okay, I won't tell you."
"It's getting late, you should go to bed early." She looked at the sky outside the window, stood up and was about to leave.
My hand was grabbed, "Where are you going?"
"It was too sudden today. I haven't washed up yet. Come back tomorrow." Seeing that he was holding her hand tightly, she added, "Move in tomorrow."
"Seriously?" His eyes sparkled.
"really."
The next morning, before daybreak, Eunuch Guangbing was already guarding the door of her bedroom.
The head aunt saw him as soon as she opened the door. "Why are you here so early, eunuch? What does His Majesty want you to do?"
"Your Majesty is fine. He was just worried that the people in the palace would be too busy to handle it, so he asked me to bring some people to help your Majesty move things."
The corners of the nanny's mouth twitched slightly. His Majesty is too anxious.
But she still respectfully invited the person in.
"The queen hasn't woken up yet, maybe you'll have to trouble the eunuch to wait a little longer."
"As you should. His Majesty has already instructed that the Empress not be disturbed. Once she wakes up, we will invite her to join His Majesty for dinner."
Tu Qingyu deliberately did not sleep in today. In order to show her concern for him, she got up an hour earlier.
But when she arrived, he was still looking forward to it.
"Why are you up so early today?"
"I got up early?" She looked at him with a teasing look in her eyes. "I don't know who it was, but they sent Eunuch Guangbing here at dawn."
She reached out and pressed her fingertips on the dark circles under his eyes. "But the pain keeps you awake at night?"
No, I couldn’t sleep because I was thinking about it.
He side-eyed her and looked at her pitifully, "Yeah, it hurts."
Seeing the pain in her eyes, he lowered his eyes in satisfaction.
"Can I apply the medicine today?"
"Not yet. Please help me apply the medicine after we finish breakfast."
"good."
Si Chao was injured, so the breakfast was very light, but the kitchen cooked it very well and it suited Tu Qingyu's appetite.
The wound was on the back of the shoulder. Tu Qingyu looked at the man's muscular back and couldn't help but touch it with her fingertips.
Si Chao's whole body was obviously stiff, his muscles couldn't help but contract, and blood was oozing from his wounds.
"What's wrong?" She looked very innocent. "Does it hurt? Don't move. You're bleeding."
