Chapter 442 His Achu is back
Shen Chu looked up and met Pei Yuan's cold and beautiful peach blossom eyes, her heart trembling slightly.
She subconsciously opened Pei Yuan's hand and took two steps back.
"This humble servant is Chuchu. Your Highness, what's wrong?"
"Chu Chu?" Pei Yuan got off the couch and slowly approached, scrutinizing her intently.
This was actually the first time he had seriously looked at her since she first joined the Flying Eagle Guard.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the girl named Chu Chu in front of him was similar in height and build.
Their eyes are similar, and the familiar scent of wisteria blossoms on their bodies is exactly the same.
The only difference is their faces.
Pei Yuan recalled how badly he had been deceived by Ling Ce, who wore a human skin mask, in Yangzhou three years ago.
Is the person in front of me also wearing a mask?
What kind of face lies beneath that mask?
A sudden thought struck him, making him tremble.
A surge of emotion welled up within him, and his voice was low and husky with a hint of restraint.
"What's your surname? Is it Chu, and your given name is Chu?"
Shen Chu's eyes flickered slightly, and she gave a vague, soft "hmm."
Unable to contain his emotions, Pei Yuan approached Shen Chu and suddenly reached out to her.
Shen Chu was so frightened that she retreated repeatedly.
"Your Highness, what are you going to do?"
Did he discover something?
She didn't give anything away, did she?
Shen took a step back until his back hit the wall.
She couldn't avoid it after all; Pei Yuan's hand was about to touch her face.
Chen Chu's heart nearly leaped into her throat. She ducked and slipped under his arm.
She retreated to the doorway, her face darkening, and said coldly:
"I joined the Flying Eagle Guard because I wanted to do my job properly, not to climb the social ladder."
Moreover, I heard that His Highness and the Princess were deeply in love, and that His Highness married the Princess on the day of Lord Shen's burial.
He is devoted to the Princess and his affection for her is deep and profound. Please, Your Highness, do not do anything to hurt her.
Recalling the scene three years ago, Pei Yuan, dressed in a bright red groom's suit, walked step by step toward Chen Jiaying's bridal sedan chair.
She couldn't suppress the bitterness in her heart, and her voice carried a hint of sarcasm.
Pei Yuan slowly withdrew his hand, a hint of interest appearing in his peach blossom eyes.
If I heard correctly, those words sound a bit sarcastic.
His heart started beating even faster.
An absurd thought kept clamoring in my mind.
Is it his Achu who has returned?
But three years ago, everyone assured him that Achu was gone.
Even though he refused to believe it, three years of lonely searching and waiting, and repeated disappointments.
He simply couldn't bear another disappointment.
"Your Highness."
Just then, Sun Yan appeared at the door and said urgently, "His Majesty has summoned you to the palace."
"knew."
Pei Yuan responded softly, then suddenly swayed.
puff.
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Highness."
Shen Chu's expression changed drastically, and she quickly stepped forward to support him, her face filled with anxiety.
"Why did he suddenly vomit blood? Sun Yan, quickly summon the imperial physician."
Then go to the palace and report to His Majesty that His Highness has vomited blood and cannot enter the palace for the time being.
Sun Yan was stunned for a moment, stared blankly at Chen Chu for a couple of seconds, and then subconsciously looked at Pei Yuan.
Pei Yuan waved his hand, indicating that he should do as Shen Chu said.
Sun Yan responded with a "Yes".
Master is a divine physician, senior brother is a famous doctor, and Shen Chu has some knowledge of medical principles.
The blood that Pei Yuan vomited was somewhat dark in color, a sign of poisoning.
She helped Pei Yuan sit on the couch and asked anxiously, "Are you poisoned?"
Pei Yuan's face turned slightly pale, and he gave a soft "hmm".
"When did this happen? What kind of poison did you ingest? Now that you know, why didn't you have the imperial physician detoxify you?"
Pei Yuan's eyes were slightly closed, and he looked exhausted, as if he didn't even have the strength to speak.
With a worried heart, Shen Chu took out the antidote pills prepared by her master from her body, took one out, and put it into Pei Yuan's mouth.
Pei Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed her wrist, and stared at her with a stern gaze.
What are you going to give me to eat?
Shen Chu quickly explained, "This is an antidote pill; it can neutralize some common poisons."
Pei Yuan raised an eyebrow and hummed with a hint of amusement.
"You care about me a lot?"
Shen Chu's expression changed slightly, and she realized that she had lost her composure due to her worry.
She struggled slightly, trying to pull her hand away.
To everyone's surprise, Pei Yuan had a strong grip and held her tightly, refusing to let go, his eyes fixed intently on her.
It's like stubbornly waiting for an answer.
Shen Chuxin's heart was pounding so hard that she didn't dare to look him in the eye.
She lowered her eyes and said softly, "Your Highness is the commander of the Flying Eagle Guard, and your superior. It is only right that I care about Your Highness."
"Yeah?"
"certainly."
Pei Yuan abruptly released her hand, seemingly quite dissatisfied with the answer.
Shen Chu pursed her lips, not daring to say anything more. She wanted to persuade Pei Yuan to take the antidote first, but she was afraid that if she said too much, it would arouse his suspicion.
Just as they were getting extremely anxious, the imperial physician came in carrying his medicine box.
"Imperial Physician, please take a look at His Highness."
The physician Sun Yan summoned was the one who usually helped Pei Yuan with his health.
After taking the pulse, the imperial physician frowned deeply.
"That shouldn't be the case."
Chen Chu was completely confused and anxious, so she subconsciously asked, "What shouldn't be?"
"Imperial Physician, what's wrong with His Highness?"
The imperial physician stroked his beard and sighed. Seeing that Pei Yuan only had Shen Chu by his side, he concluded that she must be someone His Highness could trust.
He then said, "Three years ago, Your Highness was poisoned by a deadly poison and nearly lost your life. Doctor Han went to great lengths to pull Your Highness back from the brink of death."
However, His Highness still has residual poison in his body, which flares up once a month. When it flares up, he feels cold all over, even his bones ache, and in severe cases, he even vomits blood.
The imperial physician looked puzzled as he spoke.
"But His Highness just had a flare-up of the poison half a month ago. Logically, it shouldn't be time for it to flare up yet."
Could it be that His Highness's poison has worsened? If so, I must write to Doctor Han immediately and urge him to return at once.
Shen Chu was terrified and turned pale.
Three years ago? Was it when Luo Heng took her away?
Who poisoned him?
Is it Luo Heng?
She thought she had had a tough three years, but she never imagined that Pei Yuan had also been fighting against a deadly poison for three years.
Sadness and heartache surged into my heart at the same time.
She couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice, "What will happen if the poison can't be cured?"
Before the imperial physician could speak, Pei Yuan suddenly whispered, "It could take three to five months, or as short as a year."
The imperial physician glanced at Pei Yuan and said, "Ah, yes, Your Highness is right."
Shen Chu trembled all over and almost collapsed to the ground.
She stared at Pei Yuan in disbelief, her eyes suddenly reddening, and tears streaming down her face.
No, that's impossible.
How could Sixth Brother only have one year left to live?
He's still so young, and there's so much he hasn't done yet.
He hadn't even met Little Potato and Little Apple yet, and didn't know he had two adorable children in the world.
No, that's impossible.
A low, hoarse sigh reached my ears.
Why are you crying? Are you worried about me?
Shen Chu's tears fell even more fiercely.
Pei Yuan gently wiped away her tears with his cool, large hand, his voice trembling with barely concealed emotion.
"A-Chu, is that you?"
Shen Chu looked at Pei Yuan through teary eyes.
The moment their eyes met, Pei Yuan's lips curled into a smile.
It's his Achu who's back.
In the end, fate was kind to him.
