"Although it's good for your bones, your mood is the most important thing."
Xiao Chengci reassured him, "Besides, this can't be fixed overnight."
"Maintaining a good mood is the most important thing when recovering from illness."
"A good mood?"
"Look at me now, I can't even leave the mansion, how can I be in a good mood?"
"I'm so paralyzed that I can't even leave the house?"
Pei Zhi said agitatedly, "If that's the case, why did you save me in the first place? You might as well have let me die and ended it all."
"To save ourselves from torturing each other now."
Xiao Chengci squatted down, reached out his hand, and said in a somewhat cold tone, "I'll carry you to change your clothes."
Pei Zhi, however, did not expect that, in the struggle, she would slap Xiao Chengci across the face.
Upon seeing this, Pei Minxue immediately knelt down and stammered as if to beg for forgiveness.
Xiao Chengci wiped his cheek with the back of his hand. "You can go out now. This is none of your business."
"Zhizhi is having difficulty walking, so she's not in a good mood, Your Majesty..."
Xiao Chengci angrily rebuked, "I told you to get out!"
Pei Minxue didn't dare to delay any longer. He immediately got up, ran out of the house, and thoughtfully closed the door behind him.
Xiao Chengci bent down and squatted in front of Pei Zhi.
"Was that enough? Did it make you feel better?"
Xiao Chengci stretched out his face: "If that's not enough, bring some more from here?"
Seeing Xiao Chengci's shamelessness, Pei Zhi, despite her temper, couldn't bring herself to continue attacking him.
"I didn't mean to, I just..." Pei Zhi sighed softly.
Pei Zhi looked down at her legs; she couldn't move them, that was part of the reason.
Another reason is that Pei Zhi is unable to take care of herself.
Pei Zhi injured her back and had only been awake for a few days. She was still in bed eating, drinking, and using the toilet, which she could accept.
Although most of her external injuries have healed, she is still unable to take care of herself.
They can't even control when they need to go to the toilet.
Therefore, Pei Zhi dislikes drinking soup or broth.
Only in this way can she reduce the number of times she needs to change clothes.
Pei Zhi is a normal person, and she naturally cares about these things.
Xiao Chengci held Pei Zhi's hand tightly, "Everything will be alright."
"I am the emperor, and I will summon all the famous doctors in the land to diagnose you."
"You will definitely get better, so don't worry."
"If you're angry, you can hit me, yell at me, anything is fine, just don't give up on yourself."
Xiao Chengci coaxed softly, "If it really doesn't work, I'll just break my leg and come with you, okay?"
Pei Zhi was completely amused by Xiao Chengci. "Then who will take care of me?"
"Shang Huai alone cannot take care of two cripples."
"The two of you are taking turns taking care of me, and you're both exhausted."
Even though Pei Zhi and Xiao Chengci had the closest relationship.
However, there were some things that Pei Zhi was still too embarrassed to let Xiao Chengci clean up for her.
Pei Zhi suggested sending a maid, but Xiao Chengci refused.
Xiao Chengci said it was no big deal, and that he would do the same for Pei Zhi when he got old.
Xiao Chengci was very clumsy when he first changed Pei Zhi's clothes, making everything dirty.
Pei Zhi couldn't help but lose her temper many times, but Xiao Chengci remained silent, and then his movements became even more swift.
It was Pei Minxue who secretly told Pei Zhi that Xiao Chengci had specifically sought out servants to learn the skills in detail.
Pei Zhi couldn't control her physical needs; sometimes, even when she was asleep, she would find her bed wet in the middle of the night.
Xiao Chengci and Shang Huai would take turns sleeping on the floor in front of Pei Zhi's bed at night to keep watch.
Pei Zhi felt embarrassed to wake them, seeing that they were sleeping soundly.
As dawn broke, Xiao Chengci and Shang Huai realized that their bed was also ice-cold.
Since then, Xiao Chengci and Shang Huai would wake up several times during the night, even when they were sleeping.
Get up and touch the bed to see if it's dry.
Pei Zhi's illness not only caused trouble for herself, but also for Xiao Chengci and Shang Huai.
Xiao Chengci spent more time taking care of Pei Zhi, and usually, he would stay with her at night.
Xiao Chengci brought Pei Zhi clean clothes and began to undress her.
"It's my blessing that I can still serve you. What's there to be tired about?"
Xiao Chengci took off Pei Zhi's outer robe: "If I really find it tiring, I can just leave you to be served by the palace servants, wouldn't that be better?"
Pei Zhi muttered, "I'm overjoyed that you've asked me to be served by palace servants."
After all, they were paid to work, so Pei Zhi had nothing to be ashamed of.
"What, in your heart, I'm not even as good as those palace maids?"
Pei Zhi didn't want to argue with Xiao Chengci about these things, so she let Xiao Chengci change her clothes.
Pei Zhi was injured for a long time, and Xiao Chengci was also in mourning for a long time.
Xiao Chengci would react to Pei Zhi's daily bathing and changing of her clothes.
However, Xiao Chengci remained calm and hid his true feelings very well.
Today, the two were standing quite close, and Pei Zhi noticed the rise and fall of Xiao Chengci's breathing.
Pei Zhi thought for a moment and then extended her hand.
Xiao Chengci hissed, "What are you doing?"
Pei Zhi asked innocently, "What are you doing?"
"I'm already like this, and you still want to?"
Xiao Chengci deftly changed Pei Zhi's clothes, saying, "Your leg is just temporarily inconvenient, so why can't I react?"
Pei Zhi gave Xiao Chengci a thumbs up, "Great, you're the best."
Xiao Chengci dressed Pei Zhi, knelt down, straightened her clothes, and tied her belt.
