"But Heir, your body is still very weak. Don't you want me to take care of you?" Su Qing said.
"No need. I want to be alone for a while. If I feel unwell, I will call you."
"Alright, then I will guard outside. If Heir needs anything, call me." Su Qing said and retreated, closing the door behind him.
Once everyone left, the study returned to its former tranquility.
Young Master Su forced his weak body to slowly sit up.
He glanced at the black concoction and stood up. He carried the bowl to the flower pot and poured the concoction into it.
Then, he hid the pot of chrysanthemums that was originally on the table under the bed. Only then did he return to the bed and lie down.
As soon as he lay down, he looked at the dusky canopy and felt an endless loneliness.
During the day, when the sky was clear and he had things to do, his mood wasn't so bad. But when night came, his mood was very irritable.
Why did he marry a woman he didn't love?
This was really painful. He really envied those couples who loved each other.
He lay on the bed, tossing and turning restlessly. He simply got up and looked outside through the crack in the door. He found Su Qing was dutifully guarding the door.
Then, he turned around and walked to the back door. He gently opened the back door and walked out under the moonlight.
-
It was already late autumn and it was cold outside. Young Master Su was only wearing an emerald blue unlined garment. He looked around. When he saw that there was no one around, he took advantage of the moonlight and went to the lake in the backyard.
Looking at the cold lake, Princess Royal's words rang in his ears.
"Your wound can't touch water, or it will worsen. You have to be careful when you bathe."
He looked at the wound on his arm. Would the wound worsen if it came into contact with water?
This would definitely endanger his life. Then, wouldn't the little Yue'Er come to see him?
Thinking of this, he slowly leaned against the side of the lake and entered the water.
He was a landlubber and didn't know how to swim. So he could only lean against the shore and slowly soak his body.
The lake water was very cold, and he was very afraid of the cold, so he was soon freezing to the point that his teeth were chattering.
He let out a light breath and leaned his head against the shore. He raised his head to look at the dark sky and spread out his hands, wantonly dipping them into the icy water.
At this time, his whole body was soaked in ice water, including the wound on his arm. This feeling was not pleasant, but he enjoyed it very much.
After soaking in the water for about the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, he climbed out of the water while trembling. Then, he quietly returned to his room through the back door.
As soon as he returned to his room, he took off his wet undershirt and stuffed it into the wardrobe. He then changed into a clean, pure white undershirt.
After doing all this, he shivered as he lay on the bed, lifted the blanket, and began to sleep.
Unknowingly, Young Master Su fell asleep.
But when it was almost dawn, he found that his body was getting heavier and heavier, as if there was a thousand pounds of iron pressing down on his body. His whole body was sore and weak, and he could not stop coughing.
Every time he coughed, his throat seemed to be smoking and burning. It was so spicy that his face twisted, and he wanted to jump into a fire pit.
At this time, he found that the wound on his arm was also itching and painful.
He wanted to get up, but he didn't have any strength. That feeling of loneliness attacked him again. He was muddle-headed, and felt as if he had stepped into the gates of hell. It was as if a thick aura of death was shrouding him.
