In the middle of the night, Chu Xuanchi woke up because his stomach was churning.
He wanted to move closer to the edge of the bed, but suddenly he felt something restraining his waist.
Then he remembered that he was married, and the person beside him was his sweetheart, who was hugging him at that moment.
Mo Zhaohua was worried and didn't dare to sleep too deeply. He opened his eyes immediately when he heard some noise, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Chu Xuanchi endured the discomfort and responded softly, "Hmm..."
Mo Zhaohua shouted, "Zhenzhu, light the lamp."
Pearl was also mentally prepared. She woke up as soon as she was called and hurried in to light the lamp and wait on her.
Chu Xuanchi drank too much after all and vomited again.
Fortunately, Mo Zhaohua had the foresight to prepare the wooden barrel in advance, so there was no need to clean it up after vomiting.
Zhenzhu promptly handed over two glasses of water, one cold one for rinsing the mouth and one hot one for warming the stomach.
Mo Zhaohua asked Zhenzhu to leave a small lamp outside, and then asked Chu Xuanchi with concern, "Are you feeling better?"
Chu Xuanchi forced a smile, "Much better, it seems that hot water is very useful."
Mo Zhaohua put his hand on his lower abdomen, "Does it hurt more?"
Chu Xuanchi closed his eyes to hide the pain, but did not deny it, "Hmm..."
Mo Zhaohua massaged his stomach evenly, "Did they force you to drink?"
Chu Xuanchi felt that the pain was relieved in a short time, "Why did my beloved concubine say that?"
As a doctor, Mo Zhaohua could use kneading and pressing techniques to relieve his pain even without medicine or needles.
She would occasionally press with her thumb, "My husband is a man who knows his limits and is also aware of his own body."
Chu Xuanchi didn't have the energy to explain too much for the time being. "Let's talk about this later. Let's take a rest today. I'm a little tired."
Mo Zhaohua continued to massage him, "Okay, if you need anything, call me in time. I will always be by your side."
Chu Xuanchi fell asleep as he was told, but his sleep was extremely restless. Although his stomachache had eased, his internal injuries flared up again, causing him to break out in cold sweats.
Later he got up and vomited again. He was much weaker at this time and it seemed that he would not be able to get up the next day.
He didn't want to disturb Mo Zhaohua's rest any longer, "Sorry, Zhao Zhao, how about I go to another room to sleep for one night."
Mo Zhaohua wiped his sweat and said, "If I can't even handle this little thing, how can I grow old with my husband?"
Chu Xuanchi sighed softly, "I don't know when my injury will heal. There may be many more days like this in the future. Are you afraid, Zhao Zhao?"
Mo Zhaohua leaned her head on his shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, my husband will get better soon, and I will always be with him."
She was confident enough that she could cure him, as long as he gave her a chance.
Chu Xuanchi stretched out his hand and held her tightly, "Zhao Zhao..."
It was supposed to be a wonderful wedding night, but because of Chu Xuanchi's drunkenness and injuries, the two of them couldn't sleep well all night.
The same goes for Pearl, who was in charge of night watch. Wuying was not allowed to enter as a foreign man, so she had to serve him all the time.
Amber came early to exchange. She explained in detail what happened last night, then she went back to the lower room yawning with relief.
Mo Zhaohua woke up earlier than Chu Xuanchi. She lay on her side and when she opened her eyes she saw his sleeping face, quiet and beautiful.
No, it should be quiet but not beautiful. His face was flushed, but he was not drunk like last night.
She raised her hand and touched his forehead, and sure enough, it felt a little hot. He was actually having a fever, which was why he avoided alcohol.
Chu Xuanchi felt the little hand on his forehead, and before he opened his eyes, he reached out to grab her hand, "Good morning, Zhao Zhao."
Mo Zhaohua felt the slight heat on his hand, "Good morning, husband, how do you feel now?"
Chu Xuanchi opened his eyes, which were a little bloodshot, "Not so good, but we can just go to the palace to express our gratitude."
Mo Zhaohua reacted very quickly, "Could it be that you drank on purpose last night and made yourself look like this?"
Chu Xuanchi asked tentatively, "If I say yes, will Zhao Zhao be angry with me? But if I deny it, it would be a lie."
Mo Zhaohua's eyes were full of pity. "Don't be angry. I know that my husband must have sufficient reasons for doing what he did, but I will feel distressed."
"Zhao Zhao..." Chu Xuanchi pulled her hand to his lips and kissed it, "Thank you for trusting me so much."
"I will trust my husband with all my heart, and I hope he can give me a certain amount of trust."
Mo Zhaohua sighed quietly in his heart. Only if he trusted her enough, would he be willing to let her treat him.
Chu Xuanchi said firmly: "I trust Zhao Zhao with all my heart."
"Well, then get up. Since my husband has deliberately made such a scene, he should take this opportunity to enter the palace and achieve his goal."
Mo Zhaohua was about to help him up, but he stopped her, "No hurry, Zhao Zhao, go get dressed first, I'll lie down for a while."
"Are you feeling very uncomfortable?" Mo Zhaohua subconsciously wanted to grab his hand to feel his pulse and tell her everything.
Chu Xuanchi thought she wanted to hold her hand, so he grabbed it first, "No, it's because I know you need more time to dress up."
Since she was going to the palace to thank the emperor for his grace, she had to dress up properly. She had taken down her bun last night and needed to re-do her hair and put on makeup.
Since he couldn't help, he might as well lie down for a while and make the play more realistic so that those people would believe it.
***
Chengqian Palace.
Emperor Wenzong and Empress Jingren sat upright.
On the second day after a wedding in an ordinary family, the bride would offer tea to her parents-in-law, while the royal family would go to the palace to express their gratitude.
After being summoned, Chu Xuanchi, dressed in a black gold-woven python robe, was pushed into the main hall by Wuying.
Mo Zhaohua also put on the dark red court dress of a princess, dressed up in her best attire, and walked leisurely beside him.
When the couple enters the palace, they first pay their respects to the emperor and empress, and then express their gratitude. However, they do not need to serve tea, they just need to listen quietly.
The emperor and empress said some words of blessing to the newlyweds and gave them many gifts, the most eye-catching of which was a statue of Guanyin, the goddess of fertility.
The White Jade Guanyin had kind eyes and was holding a cute baby in her arms, but this scene hurt Chu Xuanchi's eyes.
Yesterday on his wedding night, he couldn't even consummate the marriage, yet Emperor Wenzong gifted him the Goddess of Childbirth, how heartbreaking!
Mo Zhaohua actually liked this white jade Guanyin statue. The baby in the statue's arms looked very much like her child in her previous life.
That is also Chu Xuanchi’s child!
Emperor Wenzong: "Now that the fifth son has married, you should bring Princess Yu out more often to meet your brothers and sisters."
"I would like to obey your order, but I am afraid that my body will not live up to your expectations and will disappoint my father and wrong the princess."
Chu Xuanchi didn't dare to move around too much, lest Emperor Wenzong think that he was siding with one of his brothers or forming a clique for personal gain.
Queen Jingren said in a gentle voice, "Chi'er, don't be discouraged. We have many great doctors in Dongling. Chi'er will definitely get better."
Few people would call Chu Xuanchi like this. Apart from Empress Dowager Yuande, probably only Empress Jingren would do so.
Chu Xuanchi had returned for more than half a year, but he had only met the queen once before. This was the second time, and she treated him gently every time.
He guessed that the prince's temperament was like that of the queen. He looked gentle and refined, and his words were warm and touching.
If it was true feelings, it would be fine, but if it was just on the surface like Chu Xuanhan, that would be truly terrifying.
