After a while, Li Dui walked in with a steaming midnight snack. The father and daughter were looking at each other in silence, and the atmosphere was a little heavy.

He was well aware of the situation, so he quickly prepared the midnight snack and brought it to them.

Li Dui smiled apologetically and said, "I made this in a hurry, so it might not taste very good. These fried noodles are what's left over from tonight, so just eat them."

Yun Xi smelled the fragrance and smiled softly: "It's good to have something to eat."

Just as Li Dui was about to bring the midnight snack to Censor Xiao's bedside, Censor Xiao struggled to lift the quilt and said, "Don't bother, I'll just go over and eat." Seeing this, Li Dui hurried forward to support him.

"Is it convenient to get out of bed?" Li Dui asked with concern.

Censor Xiao nodded and slowly let his feet hang down from the edge of the bed. Yun Xi inadvertently caught a glimpse of his bony calves and couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in her heart.

She clearly remembered that Censor Xiao was not so thin before. What kind of torture had he experienced in such a short period of time?

Censor Xiao seemed to notice Yun Xi's gaze, and quickly bent down and pulled down his trouser legs to cover up the unsightly scene.

He stood up, revealing a body so thin that it was almost just skin and bones beneath his pajamas. Yun Xi noticed that his face was not pale, but rather frighteningly sallow.

This sallow color reminded her of Aunt Li Shen in the village. When Aunt Shen was seriously ill, her face was also frighteningly yellow, and she unfortunately passed away in the end.

Yun Xi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that besides his injuries, Censor Xiao was suffering from another serious illness?

The thought gave her a sense of panic.

Censor Xiao didn't seem to notice Yun Xi's abnormality. He looked very happy after sitting down: "I smelled this fragrance and my appetite was immediately aroused."

Li Dui also laughed and said, "Eat more now that your appetite has been aroused. You have only been drinking millet porridge these days. How can your body recover? You need to eat more."

Xiao Yushi picked up his chopsticks and began to eat with big mouthfuls. Halfway through, he looked up and saw Yun Xi staring at him intently, so he called out, "Eat too, don't just look at her."

Yun Xi nodded, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a mouthful of fried noodles and put it into her mouth.

This fried noodles has a light taste and almost no flavor, which is suitable for patients, but Yun Xi felt it was particularly delicious at this moment.

Censor Xiao no longer ate as voraciously as he did at the beginning, but slowed down his pace, as if he was waiting for Yun Xi.

After finishing the last two bites of rice, he put down his chopsticks and stared at Yun Xi quietly.

After Yun Xi finished eating the fried noodles in the bowl, she said, "If you can't finish it, don't force yourself."

Censor Xiao shook his head: "No, I can eat. Let's rest for a while before eating. Do you want to eat more? I'll ask Li Dui to make you some more."

Yun Xi shook her head to indicate that it was not necessary.

Censor Xiao sighed with some disappointment: "Oh, okay." Then he picked up the chopsticks and reluctantly took one more bite.

However, at this moment, he suddenly squatted down and vomited violently.

Li Dui was so frightened that he quickly took out a spittoon and supported Xiao Yushi's back: "Are you full? Stop eating, stop eating! Oh, why do you keep vomiting these days? This can't go on!"

When Yun Xi saw Censor Xiao vomiting in such pain, her heart ached.

She couldn't help but ask, "Is it always like this lately?" Li Dui sighed, "That's right, I've been vomiting for several days.

At first I thought it was due to the long journey back to Beijing, but now it's still like this even after resting for so long."

As he said that, Li Dui picked up the towel and wiped Xiao Yushi's mouth.

This vomiting made Censor Xiao vomit out almost everything he had just eaten. His face was pale with a hint of blue, which looked very scary.

Yun Xi looked at Censor Xiao in front of her, and a strong feeling of pity welled up in her heart.

She knew that she could arrange for him to escape to the Cangzhou yard.

That was her sphere of influence, and even if the government wanted to investigate, she could quickly move there.

So while Li Dui was out cleaning, she helped Xiao Yushi lie down on the bed to rest and said softly, "I'll arrange for you to escape to Cangzhou Yard."

However, Xiao Yushi shook his head weakly: "No, I can't run away. I am a military commander, and if I run away, I will be a deserter. I would rather die than be a deserter."

His tone was firm and resolute, making it impossible for Yun Xi to persuade him any further.

She knew that he was a man of principles and faith, and would not give up his beliefs and dignity because of temporary difficulties.
