Jiang Wanying, who was standing by, looked away slightly and rushed over to support her. The doctors present also said, "Don't worry, Madam. Don't disturb the fetus!"
Liang Shuyi leaned over and touched her belly, then raised her head and glared fiercely at the old men in the room: "What's the big deal about the fetal gas? I want her to be full of life!"
The old doctors were also very helpless. From the moment they found Tang Chen fainted until now, they did not dare to leave the room. They were really helpless. "This, please forgive me, Madam. I am afraid there is nothing we can do. If Master Shen were here, perhaps there would be a chance of recovery."
After Liang Shuyi recovered, he said very bluntly: "If he were here, you old men wouldn't have to be detained here by me."
It wasn't clear if their commotion was due to the noise being too loud, or Tang Chen finally getting enough sleep, or perhaps it was because the foul-smelling medicine the old doctors had waved near her nose had taken effect; this person, who had been unconscious for a day and a night, was finally showing signs of waking up. Jiang Wanying warned, "Calm down, she seems to be waking up."
Tang Chen slowly opened her eyes, staring at the soft candlelight in the room. After a moment of daze, she finally realized something. Just as she was about to sit up, Jiang Wanying instinctively placed a few soft pillows behind her back. Liang Shuyi, who had been furious just a moment ago, now acted like a loving mother, asking with concern, "Ah Chen, how are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?"
Tang Chen smiled weakly, looked at the old doctors in the room who were looking at him with shining eyes, and said jokingly, "There are so many people here, why are there so many old men?"
After hearing this, Liang Shuyi felt relieved a little, and even had the energy to joke around, so it wasn't that bad. "You're still talking nonsense," he said, then Liang Shuyi made way and urged, "Hurry up, let her see it."
The doctors were about to step forward when they were stopped by Tang Chen, who seemed to have suddenly regained consciousness: "No, no need, I know my body well. Don't blame them, let them go back and rest."
Tang Chen had already said so, so at this moment, it would be better to go along with her wishes: "...Go down, I don't want anyone to take this matter out of this room."
"We understand, we'll take our leave now."
Tang Chen waved his hand and then ordered: "As for the others, go back and rest. Shuyi and Wanying are enough here."
After everyone who was not involved left, Liang Shuyi saw that Tang Chen's complexion was not very good, so she suggested: "Why don't you rest for a while? It's not too late to talk about it tomorrow."
Having kept it a secret for so long, Tang Chen had no idea that death would come so soon. She had thought that by this time, she would be fully prepared, but who knew that at this moment, she would find that there were still many things that were not completed.
From the excitement on the faces of the old doctors when they saw him wake up, Tang Chen knew that Liang Shuyi and the others were probably also aware of his physical condition. There was no point in hiding it any longer, so he simply said frankly, "I don't know how long I have left to live. I'm not afraid of anything except that I might close my eyes and never wake up again."
Before she could finish, Liang Shuyi stopped her and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you keep talking nonsense, I will be angry!"
Tang Chen smiled, his eyes involuntarily fixed on Liang Shuyi's bulging belly. He felt a little embarrassed to ask a pregnant woman who was about to give birth to take care of his affairs after his death. "Shuyi, I'm really sorry. I didn't want to worry you, but I still have something to ask of you."
Liang Shuyi: "...I won't listen, you should have a good rest."
"Shu..." The next second, in order to prevent Tang Chen from saying anything unpleasant, Liang Shuyi directly pressed her sleeping point; she had been anxiously waiting for her to wake up, but now she wanted her to have a good sleep, and then wake up and tell herself that everything that happened during this day and night was just a joke between her and everyone else, and nothing had actually happened.
Liang Shuyi called in the servants who had been waiting outside, gave them a few more instructions, and then left with Jiang Wanying. Listening to the intermittent chirping of crickets, Liang Shuyi complained thoughtfully, "Look at her just now. It's like she was giving instructions to future generations. I told you to read more, but you didn't. All you do is talk nonsense all day long."
Jiang Wanying knew that Liang Shuyi was just speaking in anger, so she said, "Her condition doesn't seem to have happened suddenly, but rather it seems to have accumulated over time."
Liang Shuyi stopped and analyzed the available information. "Though those doctors' medical skills aren't as good as Chen Xin's, they're not completely senile. Do you think someone secretly gave her some slow-acting poison that's difficult to detect?"
Jiang Wanying held her forehead and said, "That's possible, but the people in the Qingliang Palace should be trustworthy. As for the newcomers, it won't do them any good if Tang Chen gets into trouble."
Speaking of people who were not trustworthy in the past, Liang Shuyi suddenly remembered that there was a person in the dungeon of Qingliang Palace: "There is a place and a person who can ask about the situation."
Jiang Wanying asked, "Can I come with you?"
Liang Shuyi looked down at his own potbelly and said softly, "Thank you Wanying for accompanying us. Let's call Xihe along. We need to get some medicine from her before we go. If we tell her about this, I'm sure she won't say anything."
Jiang Wanying said very straightforwardly: "Just trust her, I have no objection."
Although Xihe was completely bewildered when Jiang Wanying quietly pulled her out of the quilt, her expression subtly changed after Jiang Wanying conveyed Liang Shuyi's words to her.
After the two tiptoed to the dungeon entrance and reunited with Liang Shuyi, who was alone, Xihe took out something that looked like a snuff bottle. After asking Xihe to confirm that the medicine did not contain any ingredients that would harm the fetus, Liang Shuyi opened the bottle and shook the thing in front of his nose, his face solemn.
After Jiang Wanying smelled the indescribable smell in the bottle, her face gradually twisted and she almost vomited: "Tsk, this smell..."
Xihe also sniffed the thing and added, "After half a cup of tea, our sense of smell will be temporarily impaired, but the drug's effect will only last for a stick of incense at most."
Liang Shuyi nodded and said, "That's enough."
After the Qilin Guards opened the cell door, before entering, Jiang Wanying grabbed Liang Shuyi and asked again, "You're pregnant. Is that really not taboo?"
