Qi Huai thought he was dead for sure, but he didn't expect to wake up one day.
He blinked with difficulty and turned his head, trying to see his surroundings.
The decorations were very warm, and there was a faint smell of medicine in the room. Had he been saved?
"Huai, Huai, you're awake. That's great. I'll go find the princess consort."
Before he could see clearly, the familiar voice ran off into the distance. Not long after, another person came in.
"He's recovering well. At this rate, he'll be able to walk in two to three days."
Xunmi looked at the healed wound and felt his pulse. She had a new understanding of the ancient people's recovery ability.
Come to think of it, the longevity of the ancient people should be related to their physical fitness.
Their living conditions were not as good and they suffered more. Even the highest ruler had experienced war.
The modern people's living conditions had changed and pollution was heavy. Naturally, their bodies were more delicate.
Of course, this was not absolute, but it was most of the time.
She wrote a prescription and handed it to Wang Tongyu. "After feeding him the medicine, give him some liquid food."
She stood up and walked to the bedside, meeting Qi Huai who was completely awake.
Seeing the surprise in his eyes, Xunmi said calmly, "Don't think too much. Although you're not the child of the late Crown Prince and Crown Princess, you're his uncle's child."
Qi Huai was stunned. Things had changed so quickly that he couldn't react.
"Go back and be a good emperor. As long as you don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, I won't do anything."
Qi Yefeng's voice came from the door and he told him about what happened that year.
The late Crown Princess, Xunmi's mother, was a woman of the martial arts world. She didn't love the late Crown Prince.
Because of disputes, they were on opposite sides and decided to elope.
But on the way, they were chased. In order to protect her, her lover led the killers away.
Coincidentally, the late Crown Prince happened to pass by and saved her. He fell in love with her at first sight.
Not only did he send people to look for her lover, but he also gave her the status of Crown Princess.
Because there was someone in her heart, she refused until she found her lover's body.
Pregnant with a child, she couldn't protect herself and her family gave up on her. She had no choice but to stay.
It was also because she wanted to leave the most stable backing for her child.
However, she did not know that her child had been swapped after she gave birth to it.
The royal family needed a successor, and the late Crown Prince also needed a son.
He respected her and liked her, so he had never forced her. It could be said that the previous Crown Prince had always been considerate of her.
However, he had kept this secret from her until his death.
Coincidentally, Ge Wensi knew about it because the steward of the Prince's Mansion had told his son about it before he died.
Then, his son bragged outside that he was that good! Luck! He had been hit.
When Xunmi knew the whole story, she couldn't help but sigh.
A prince of a country would actually go to such a remote place, tsk tsk tsk …
The four insiders were the Wangye, the Wangfei, the steward who handled all the details, and the former Crown Prince.
Now, all of them had passed away.
Qi Huai's expression was stupefied, unable to recover for a long time.
So that's how it is?
"My Imperial Brother was supposed to send you to the Prince's Mansion, but on the way, the housekeeper went to … that, so he left you alone in the carriage, but when he came back, you were gone."
Speaking of this, Qi Yefeng felt a little awkward.
He didn't know how much she had suffered when she was young, but he would never let her suffer again.
"You're saying that my mother's name is Lin Xian 'er? Then what's her relationship with Linjiang? "
Xunmi suddenly asked. This surname was too rare, so rare that she doubted it.
"They were siblings." Qi Yefeng recalled the information he had found. "He only thought of your mother after he saw your appearance."
"As for whether he told your mother, I don't know."
After all, the people involved were already buried, so there was no one who knew. This was an unsolved mystery.
Xunmi didn't comment. She felt that it was better not to know some things.
"But I was taken away by Master, the Valley Master of Miracle Medical Valley."
"Master told me that someone had left me by the side of the road. He heard my cries, so he picked me up."
Now that I think about it, the whole thing was a blunder.
Qi Yefeng held her hand in his and said solemnly, "I'll protect you from now on."
It was just a few simple words, but they carried an indescribable solemnity and dignity.
It was like a huge mountain on her back, so safe and secure.
Xunmi thought that her husband was very seductive when he spoke sweet nothings, but when he spoke sweet nothings that weren't sweet nothings, it was even more intoxicating.
She nodded and smiled faintly. "Okay."
Wang Tongyu and Qi Huai stared at the two of them as they walked away. Other than giving them their blessings, they also felt an indescribable envy.
They didn't have a higher status than them, but they lived more carefree and happy lives than them.
They had long understood how to cherish things, and now they understood that as long as they were happy, it was fine.
"Xiao Yu, I'll protect you from now on too." Qi Huai retracted his gaze and said to the person standing by the window.
"Okay. But now, you have to drink the medicine first and get better."
He sat by the bed and scooped up a spoonful of black medicine, smiling as he fed it to the person lying on the bed.
"It's a bit bitter." He waited until the other person drank it before speaking.
Qi Huai's face was scrunched up as he cried. Xunmi was definitely taking revenge.
In the past, the medicine brewed by the Imperial Academy of Medicine wasn't bitter, but this one was so bitter that he doubted his life.
Xunmi, who deliberately didn't add licorice, smiled faintly. The more bitter it was, the better the effect.
When Qi Huai could walk again, Duke Huai Palace welcomed a group of uninvited guests.
"Were you stung by a wasp? But why are you in front of our palace? Let's go, let's go. "
Pan Ling looked at the person lying on the chair being carried to the door. Although she was puzzled, she was very dissatisfied.
Xunmi, who had already calculated the time and returned to Miracle Medical Valley with her husband, didn't know what was happening at this moment.
Being merciful to Qi Huai was already the limit.
It was impossible for her to be merciful to Ge Wensi, who started everything. Leaving him with one breath was already her mercy.
Chen Yu, who came to find the Emperor, also happened to appear at the palace's entrance.
For a moment, when they met, they all fell into silence.
Ge Wensi's fate was like a warning, reminding them that they were fine. It wasn't that they were really fine, it was just that those two didn't want to.
"Since Your Majesty has recovered, then please go back. Our palace is going to close the door and refuse to receive guests."
Pan Ling strictly carried out her princess consort's order and asked them to leave with a proper attitude.
Qi Huai looked at the people who were still struggling outside, and then looked at the empty palace.
"Help me thank Imperial Uncle and Imperial Aunt." He thanked them for being merciful and for giving him a chance.
The moment he turned around, the palace's door slowly closed behind him.
This time, it didn't open again.
