Chapter 80 Wake Up
The chicken soup was still on the small stove used for boiling medicine, waiting for him to drink it when he woke up. Gu Chengze, who had just finished drinking the porridge, moved his hands slightly under the quilt. Li Zheng only noticed when his eyes seemed to move. She quickly squatted down and said, "Can you hear me?"
After hearing Li Zheng's words, he seemed to want to open his eyes even more forcefully. Although he could hear her voice in his head, his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, preventing him from opening them. He didn't know how long he had been trying before he finally opened his eyes, and saw Li Zheng's anxious look.
"How long have I been sleeping?" Gu Chengze opened his mouth weakly, but he knew that it must be her who saved her.
"It's been almost ten days. Are you feeling unwell?" She was delighted to see him wake up, but also worried that he might be feeling unwell somewhere she didn't know about. Seeing her concern for him, Gu Chengze smiled and said nothing, only looking at her tenderly.
Li Zheng saw him smile, and was furious. She cared about him, but he was still like this. Although she thought so in her heart, her hands did not do so. She went up and pinched him. When she heard him groan, she felt much better.
But she still asked him, "Can you get up now?" Gu Chengze felt his body and shook his head. He could only move from the neck up. Li Zheng thought that the medicine would only need to be taken a few more times. Doctor Liu had said that he would wake up tonight, but he woke up in the afternoon. It was only a matter of time before he would get out of bed.
"Don't worry, it's okay. He's been poisoned for too long. He needs to drink more medicine." Li Zheng was afraid that he would worry, so she comforted him with a few words. Besides, she had the cheating artifact, the spiritual spring water, so she would definitely cure him. "By the way, should you tell the people outside that you woke up?"
"Go ahead. It's just going to be hard on you." Since he couldn't move, the task of greeting people naturally fell on her. "It's okay, just sleep a little longer, I'll be back soon."
After a while, Qin You came, ran to Gu Chengze and said, "Brother, you are really awake! I didn't expect your wife is so awesome. But when you wake up, you have to compensate me well. I rushed back overnight for you and even killed several horses! As for compensation, just ask your wife to cook something for me." I think the grilled fish today is good, but I didn't say this. If she made a fresh dish, I would be at a loss!
Gu Chengze nodded with a twitch of his lips. This matter was told to him when he woke up, so of course he had to treat him, but he didn't expect that this man was still so unruly.
A little later, General Wang and his men arrived. Hearing Cheng Ze had woken up, they rushed over to check on him. Sure enough, although he still looked a little weak, it was a good thing he was awake. "Oh, Cheng Ze, you're so lucky to have made it through this. Haha!" General Wang quipped.
"General, you're joking." He had just woken up and was still a little tired. General Wang and others naturally couldn't stay any longer to disturb him, but when they were about to leave, General Wang told Li Zheng something.
Seeing that she was still thinking, Gu Chengze couldn't help but say, "Why don't we wait until I get better, then we can go back." But Li Zheng shook her head at this time.
Just now, General Wang said that he wanted to ask Li Zheng if she could make some medicine to prevent poisoning. Of course, General Wang said it very tactfully, but Li Zheng understood that this was what King Qi meant. Although she also wanted to refuse, now did not seem to be the time to refuse.
Now I am in the King of Qi's territory and cannot leave. If I resist, he will probably threaten my family in Taiyuan Prefecture. Maybe they are already watching me. Now I suddenly regret why I didn't make arrangements before leaving!
Gu Chengze was also worried, but at this moment, he could only lie there motionless, feeling powerless. Suddenly, he remembered that she had taken care of him when he first broke his leg. No! That's not right! He was much better now, but he couldn't move. He had to think of a way.
Li Zheng thought about it for a long time and decided to do it. "Do you want to do it?" Gu Chengze looked at her worriedly. She was obviously the person who least wanted to be bound by constraints, but because he gave in again and again, she felt that she was really useless.
Li Zheng nodded and said, "Although I don't want to serve the King of Qi, I feel that these thousands of soldiers are more important than him." She had never felt a sense of belonging here, always observing from the sidelines until she got married. Furthermore, she had inevitably seen injured soldiers in the barracks these past few days, some with broken limbs, or simply dragged out and cremated after dying. This made her feel very uncomfortable. Call her hypocritical or a saint, but she wanted to help these soldiers.
Gu Chengze looked at her. Yes, in wars, only famous generals are known, but no one knows these soldiers. Soldiers are the ones who rush to the front line, and soldiers also suffer the most deaths.
Don't ask her why she doesn't help the enemy soldiers, because when comparing two armies, she will definitely help the side she is familiar with.
Li Zheng did what she said, but she made Gu Chengze drink the medicine and eat some food before doing it. Gu Chengze fell asleep after eating. He needed enough sleep to fight the virus.
Li Zheng spent the entire night researching, but the premise was that the recipe in her space already had it. However, she modified it a little and made a medicine that could not be prevented by the recipe, just in case. After Li Zheng finished it, she handed it to General Wang and told him that after the recipe was boiled, put the cloth in and soak it for an hour, then cover his mouth and nose with the cloth.
The most powerful effect of Li Zheng's medicine is to prevent the poison in Gu Chengze's body. No other research has been done. The most important thing is that although this poison is powerful, it is definitely difficult to make, and the materials are special, so it is definitely impossible to achieve mass production. At most, these medicines can be used to launch sneak attacks on generals and other high-ranking people.
At noon that day, Li Zheng went to the kitchen camp again to make some nutritious meals. She saw that the place was still empty, so she walked over and greeted everyone one by one. No wonder she felt something was strange today. It turned out to be this. Li Zheng nodded and asked if this was okay. After all, you shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you.
"Madam Gu, are you cooking fish today? We have fresh fish caught this morning!" a kitchen helper who looked only fifteen or sixteen asked her. Li Zheng immediately understood what they meant. They were thinking about the fish they had eaten yesterday. But it didn't matter. It wouldn't be cooked for a few days anyway, so she just let them taste the dish.
But today I plan to make fish head soup for Gu Chengze to nourish him, and the rest of the fish will be used to make braised fish. I won’t make grilled fish today. Yesterday it was because no one was watching, but today it won’t work because those sneaky eyes are staring at me!
