This time, when she opened her eyes again and woke up, the things that were originally blurry in front of her eyes seemed to become as clear as before.
Liang Shu saw that she had woken up and hurriedly helped her up. After hearing the noise, Xihe quietly pulled the corner of Jiang Wanying's clothes and asked her to take her away quietly.
After Tang Chen sat down on the couch, he looked around and saw that the room was crowded with people he hadn't seen in a while. "...Hey, why are you all here?"
When Mrs. Liang heard Jiang Wanying say that Tang Chen had woken up, she walked in from the corridor with the support of Duke Liang, followed by Marquis Wen who had come to Qingliang Valley with them.
"Godmother, Marquis Wen, why are you here too?"
Mrs. Liang's eyes were red as she gently held Tang Chen's pale hand and asked distressedly, "Child, how do you feel now?"
"I'm fine, I'm doing fine." Tang Chen held Mrs. Liang's hand, signaling her not to worry. Many people came to the house, but it was quiet. The two children who were usually noisy were nowhere to be seen. "Shuyi, where are the children? Why can't I see them?"
Liang Shuyi said softly, "I was afraid they would disturb you, so I asked the wet nurse to take them away. If you want to see them, I'll have someone bring them here right away."
Tang Chen was about to ask to see the child, but he swallowed the words back. "...No, no need. If they come, I won't be able to hold them. I'll also feel itchy just looking at them. Isn't it dark now?"
Madam Liang said, "Well, it's almost midnight. You slept so terrified. If it weren't for Miss Xihe, we wouldn't know what to do."
Tang Chen was slightly stunned, and said apologetically: "It's so late, you all should go back and rest, I'm fine now; I've never been so awake in this period of time, I feel like I have the strength to eat three bowls of rice in one go."
The gentle smile on Tang Chen's face did not melt the ice on the faces and hearts of everyone in the room. Liang Shuyi turned his back, quietly wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, turned back, and asked with a choked voice: "Achen, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"
Tang Chen had been in a coma the whole time, so how could she know what had happened while she was asleep? Naturally, she didn't know that her body suddenly became cold and her pulse almost disappeared while she was sleeping. She also didn't know what kind of mental blow those people who were worried about her and loved her had suffered during the day because of her.
At this moment, after Tang Chen regained consciousness, her mental state was no different from before the onset of the disease. It wasn't because she was lucky and her condition suddenly improved, or because her connection with Hua Wuxin suddenly disappeared, but because Xihe had given her the Nine Revolutions Soul-Restoring Pill, which could temporarily suspend her soul.
This elixir was extremely valuable. Just when they thought Tang Chen was about to leave them, the black market people, as if they knew everything, sent it to them. According to them, Tang Chen had previously obtained two of these pills from the black market and sent them to Wang Yanzhou. This one was a special gift from Hua Wuxin.
However, after all, Tang Chen was forced to stay, and the effect of this small pill was only for a moment.
Tang Chen was slightly stunned. It seemed that his fate had come to an end: "A wish? Maybe, there is no more..."
No one dared to speak, fearing that any noise they made would disrupt Tang Chen's thoughts. When Tang Chen came out of her reverie, she looked at the people in front of her, their brows furrowed and their noses red, and her guilt grew stronger. She felt that perhaps what she should be thinking about right now wasn't her own affairs after death, but rather how to make everyone around her relax their frowns.
"I know that after I'm gone, you will take good care of Guiyi and Yanzhou for me. I won't need to worry about them anymore. As for you, Shen Xin, Xihe and the others, just live well. Although my life is much shorter than many people's, it has not been lived in vain. In the end, I can close my eyes in peace."
Before Tang Chen finished speaking, Liang Shuyi's hot tears rolled down her cheeks: "Achen..."
Tang Chen picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped Liang Shuyi's tears while saying, "Shuyi, do you think my current state is the legendary last breath of life? I feel like I have suddenly gained endless energy."
After saying that, Tang Chen smiled foolishly at everyone. She knew Liang Shuyi was upset, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn't tell her like before, "Just cry if you want to." Because today, these tears were for her.
In her short life, Tang Chen had welcomed and sent off many lives. After witnessing the cycle of life from birth to disappointment, she felt more and more that if one day she were to leave, she would rather everyone saw her off with a smile than cry their hearts out. "Shuyi, there's a letter in my makeup box. Can you help me find it?"
After Liang Shuyi calmed down, she and Madam Liang went to the dressing table and started searching. After a while, they actually found a blank envelope at the bottom of the makeup box. "Is this it?"
Tang Chen nodded and took the suicide note Liang Shuyi had prepared early in the morning. Her mind was in a mess and she couldn't remember what was written on it. The only thing she remembered was that it seemed to take her a long time to write and she had explained everything she needed to.
Tang Chen held the envelope with a relieved smile and explained, "I didn't know if I would have the energy or the chance to speak by then, so I prepared it in advance."
Duke Liang, who had been silent the entire time, finally couldn't help but speak up at this moment: "Son, why did you hide this from us? If you had told us earlier, the situation wouldn't have gotten so bad."
Tang Chen explained with a wry smile, "It's not that I want to hide it, but neither you nor I can change this outcome. Rather than letting you worry about me day and night, it's better to let you see my final appearance. The light and shadow of my past few years have been picked up in vain. If it weren't for God's blessing, I would have died with that child long ago."
Liang Shuyi covered Tang Chen's mouth with her hand and said in a pleading tone: "Stop talking, stop talking..."
Tang Chen gently took her hand away and continued, "Shuyi, I really don't know if I can hold on until Yanzhou comes back. Promise me that if I die, let him bury me in Jiangling, in the garden of the Su family in the past, okay?"
