Chapter 279 Tang Bugui lay weakly by the bedside, looking extremely frail.
Just as Tang Bugui was about to speak, the butler's voice came from outside.
"Lord Ling, His Majesty and the Empress have arrived again, and they've brought several imperial physicians with them..." The steward, having heard from his servants that the two had come, hurriedly ran to find Guard Ling.
"Uncle Tang, I'm fine!" Tang Bugui said calmly to the old butler with a slight smile.
The old butler was startled when he heard Tang Bugui's voice and quickly ran over.
Guard Ling's eyes widened immediately. Wasn't the butler grandfather always in bad shape?
Why are you running so fast right now?
The old steward didn't care about what Guard Ling thought; he was relieved to see his general wake up.
"It's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake!" the old butler murmured.
He walked anxiously to Tang Bugui, and only when he saw that Tang Bugui was alright did he feel truly relieved.
Thinking about what had happened in the past few days, he was on the verge of tears.
For the past five days, the entire General's Mansion seemed to be plunged into darkness, as everyone waited for Tang Bugui to wake up.
The Lan family somehow heard about this, and Old Madam Lan started making a scene, saying she didn't want to get married anymore!
It was only after Lan Feng and Lord Lan directly sent Old Madam Lan to Huguo Temple that the matter was temporarily resolved.
The old butler wiped his eyes and then smiled.
"General, you haven't eaten properly for so long. What would you like to eat? This old servant will have it made right away!"
The old housekeeper had watched Tang Bugui grow up, and he was more worried than anyone else these past few days.
"No rush, help me to greet His Majesty and the Empress!" He hadn't gotten out of bed for five days and didn't have much strength left.
Just then, a group of people escorted the Emperor and Empress into the room.
However, the two were dressed in ordinary clothes today, and were followed by several imperial physicians...
"What welcome? You're in such poor health, why don't you take good care of yourself? How long do you plan to keep going like this!" The Empress entered and helped Tang Bugui sit down.
Apart from Guard Ling, everyone else withdrew, even the old steward left.
"When did you wake up? Have you eaten? Is anything bothering you?" the Empress asked in a nagging, motherly manner...
"Zitong, he's a fine young man. We'll bring out that thousand-year-old ginseng for him later!"
The emperor walked up to the empress and said with a hint of jealousy.
The Empress ignored the Emperor, knowing that he also cared a lot about Tang Bugui.
"Kid, tell me what's wrong with you? You've been sleeping for so many days. Do you know how worried your aunt is about you!"
The emperor glared at Tang Bugui, but deep in his eyes was heartache and worry.
What's heartbreaking is Tang Bugui's health...
What is worrying is the future of the Great Shang Kingdom.
After all, none of the new generals could match Tang Bugui in the past, who could kill so many enemies that they dared not move.
These days, several small countries around us have heard the news of Tang Bugui's illness from somewhere, and they've been making quite a fuss about it lately.
"This humble general has caused Your Majesty and Her Majesty worry..." Tang Bugui said, about to kneel down...
emperor……
Oh no, this kid's got bad intentions. All that worrying about him was for nothing...
"He's already like this, and you say you're worried about him, but you're not worried at all? I think all you're good for is putting on a brave face!" The Empress turned around and glared at the Emperor.
The emperor looked at Tang Bugui with resentment; the latter's face was deathly pale, and he looked even thinner.
He didn't care that the kid had tricked him, and turned to shout outside, "All of you imperial physicians, come in here!"
Several imperial physicians, who were talking, rushed in with their medicine chests when they heard the emperor's summons.
"Your Majesty, I'm fine! My body... cough cough is alright... cough cough..." Tang Bugui lay weakly by the bedside, looking extremely frail.
emperor……
"Alright, you lot, quickly check his body again. If there's anything wrong with him..." The emperor's eyes sharpened, and he suddenly felt a pain in his waist.
emperor……
"Ahem, let's see a doctor first!"
The Empress stood gracefully to the side, looking kind and gentle.
It was completely different from the emperor's dark complexion.
As expected, the Empress remained the same kind and benevolent Empress, while the Emperor... was a tyrant...
Several imperial physicians muttered to themselves, but dared not utter a single word.
"Your Majesty and Her Majesty the Empress, the General has some old injuries. This coma is probably a recurrence of those injuries. With proper care, he can recover!" Physician Shen said respectfully.
The emperor nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Tang Bugui, about to begin to grumble…
Before he could speak, he felt a small hand on his waist again. The emperor's face contorted for a moment before returning to normal.
"Cough cough, it's good that you're alright. Take good care of yourself. If you need anything, just...tell me!" The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to hold his wife's hand tightly.
His empress is good in every way, except she's a little fierce!
Oh well, I'll spoil my own wife...
"Little Lingzi, tell me about your General's situation!" The Empress turned to look at Guard Ling, her eyes filled with worry.
Guard Ling quickly explained the situation of his general.
After hearing this, the Emperor and Empress breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there was no serious injury.
"It's good that you're alright. You need to be careful with your health, tomorrow is your wedding day!" The Empress said, pulling the Emperor to sit on a stool beside her.
The emperor nodded, took the empress's hand, and asked, "How are the preparations for the wedding going? If you need anything, just tell me and I'll have someone send it to you!"
"Your Majesty, no need. Everything has been prepared at the Ministry of Rites, and Old Cheng and Old Ma are still here at home!"
Tang Bugui leaned back on the bed with peace of mind, his gaze falling on the Empress, a slight smile in his eyes.
Just then, his stomach rumbled at an inopportune moment.
During the days he was unconscious, he had only been fed rice porridge carefully fed to him by Guard Ling. Upon waking up, he immediately felt his stomach was empty...
The Empress frowned slightly: "You haven't eaten yet?"
Tang Bugui nodded, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Little Lingzi, what kind of work have you done? Your general has been unconscious for so many days and has just woken up. Why didn't you get him some food?" The emperor immediately looked at Guard Ling and reprimanded him.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong!" Guard Ling hurriedly bowed and admitted his mistake, his movements extremely smooth.
The Emperor... is it that he can't even find trouble even if he wants to?
As they were talking, the emperor twitched his nose and saw several servants carrying trays into the room.
The first person was carrying a large bowl of rice, the kind that's huge; the second was carrying a bowl of stir-fried meat; the third was carrying tofu; and the fourth was carrying vegetables...
It would definitely be inappropriate to leave so much food in someone else's house!
But there's absolutely no problem putting it here!
