Many people came in as vibrant young people, but were released with gray hair and ravaged beyond recognition.
Some people didn't even make it to this day.
That night, Wei Wangqing, as usual, talked with Chen Zhiyan for a while before falling asleep peacefully.
But in the middle of the night, the person beside Wei Wangqing suddenly opened his eyes.
Fortunately, Wei Wangqing is asleep now, otherwise even if this person were Chen Zhiyan, he would probably be terrified to see this scene.
After opening his eyes, Chen Zhiyan remained frozen in place, seemingly lost in thought. He remained like this for a while before finally snapping out of it.
"My lady, my lady, are you alright? How are you? Let me see your wounds."
Wei Wangqing was shaken awake, still half asleep. "Oh, I'm fine."
After saying that, he wanted to turn over and go back to sleep.
But her movements suddenly froze. Who was talking to her just now?
Wei Wangqing slowly turned her head and, by the dim moonlight, saw Chen Zhiyan's face.
Wei Wangqing asked in disbelief, "Ayan?"
“It is I, my wife.”
He lowered his head after saying that, "My lady, I'm sorry, I hurt you, I didn't mean to, but..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was suddenly hugged tightly.
Chen Zhiyan could feel that his wife was hugging him very tightly, as if she were holding some lost treasure that she had found again, afraid that he would leave again.
"My wife?" Chen Zhiyan patted her back and asked in confusion.
"Ayan, you've finally woken up."
"I knew you wouldn't be so heartless as to leave me and the child behind." As she said this, tears welled up in her eyes.
Chen Zhiyan could also hear the sob in his wife's voice. What had happened to him?
"My lady, what's wrong?"
"Ayan, do you know that you've been in a coma for four months and ten days? If you don't wake up soon, the children will all be grown up and won't recognize you anymore," Wei Wangqing said, wiping away her tears.
Chen Zhiyan was astonished. He felt nothing at all; to him, it was just like taking a nap.
However, this was an immense torment for the wife.
Wei Wangqing told Chen Zhiyan everything that had happened during this time, and only then did Chen Zhiyan realize that so much had happened while he was in a coma.
Instead of staying by his wife's side, he caused her worry and distress.
"I'm sorry, my wife."
Wei Wangqing smiled, "It's alright, as long as you're awake."
However, she had no intention of telling anyone about the origins of the Great Wei. Let this secret remain buried in her heart. The matter had already been settled, and there was no point in revealing it; it would only add to her sorrow and troubles.
“Zhen’er and Ling’er have been by your side every day during this time, talking to you and not going out to play. You have to make it up to them.” Wei Wangqing also tried to get some benefits for his sons.
Chen Zhiyan was also deeply moved; he and her son were naturally very good.
"Yes, I will." It's just too late now, I'll see the children tomorrow.
"By the way, my lady, have your injuries healed?" she said, as if she were about to pull open Wei Wangqing's nightgown to check.
Wei Wangqing said with ill intent, "I didn't expect my husband to be so enthusiastic as soon as he woke up."
"But I'm afraid your body can't take it!"
Chen Zhiyan was extremely embarrassed upon hearing this, "My wife, you know perfectly well that's not what I meant."
"Hehe, I had no idea." With that, he pulled the person into his arms.
"You're awake! That's so good." Wei Wangqing took a deep breath and hugged him tightly.
Chen Zhiyan sensed his wife's unease. "Wife, I'm here. It won't happen again."
"Um."
The two embraced tightly.
At dawn, everyone knew that the Queen had woken up.
The palace servants were overjoyed. It wasn't anything else, but the palace had been too oppressive during the Empress's coma. Everyone could see that His Majesty was in a bad mood, and everyone was acting very cautiously, for fear of upsetting him.
Although His Majesty has always had a good temper and has never punished palace servants, who would want to gamble!
Therefore, even though the war is not over yet, this is the only good news in recent times.
Sesame was also happy for the young master. Everyone in the capital knew how good His Majesty was to the young master. Even during the time the young master was in a coma, His Majesty stayed with him every day. Everyone knew that His Majesty had long been deeply in love with the Empress.
Now that the young master has woken up, that's wonderful!
The ministers also knew the good news from the emperor's beaming face.
Her Majesty made no attempt to hide her joy, so much so that the ministers who presented their memorials today felt as if they were bathed in a spring breeze. The Empress's voice was so gentle that it made the ministers feel uncomfortable.
The happiest family was naturally the Chen family. If the Empress were to fall into a coma, the Chen family would have no choice but to remain silent.
If they had never risen to prominence, that would be one thing, but who could accept such a sudden decline?
They've also endured a lot of ridicule during this period.
Chen's mother was also worried about her son. He was the only capable son she had left. Her younger daughter was still young and needed her brother's help.
Upon hearing this news, Mr. Chen was overjoyed and wept with joy. If his son had passed away like this, it would have been a waste of his blessings!
Thank goodness.
After Wei Wangqing went to court, Chen Zhiyan ordered someone to bring the two children over.
Although it was only one night for him, it had been months for the two children.
The children won't forget him, will they?
Chen Zhiyan suddenly felt uncertain.
"Daddy, Daddy, you can move!" Wei Yingling looked at Chen Zhiyan with surprise.
The wife really wasn't lying to him; the children had all grown up.
And he missed out on a lot.
“Father.” Wei Yingzhen’s eyes were also filled with joy.
Every day, their mother would talk to them about their father, helping them to picture him, hoping that their father could hear her and awaken him.
Only that silly Ling'er would forget; he has a very good memory and wouldn't forget his father.
"Yes, Father is all better now. Did Zhen'er and Ling'er miss Father?"
"No."
"I've thought about it."
After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other, their eyes meeting.
Wei Yingzhen sighed and rubbed his forehead. "That silly little Ling'er, her father will be unhappy if he hears this."
Wei Yingling's small eyes were filled with great confusion. What's wrong with her brother?
Chen Zhiyan chuckled. These two are such a pair of clowns.
The wife taught them very well.
Why doesn't Ling'er miss her father?
Wei Yingling shook her little head and said, "Of course it's because Ling'er can see Daddy every day!"
Chen Zhiyan reached out and pinched Ling'er's little nose. What a cutie.
No wonder the wife likes them so much.
"Come on, Daddy will take you to the study and see how far you've come in learning to read, okay?"
He wanted to make up for the time he had missed.
Hazel nodded obediently and said, "Okay."
Ling'er pouted and her face fell. "Ling'er doesn't want to learn to read."
