After the divorce, the four big guys became my servants

Once, the imperial physician said that ginseng was needed, but Zhao Ge was unable to help, so she went to ask Princess Liyang for help.

Princess Liyang brought back the thousand-year-old ginseng the next morning without saying a word.

Taking the ginseng to the small courtyard in the valley, Princess Liyang was limping. Zhao Ge asked her what happened, but she didn't say anything.

It was not until later that I learned from the maids in the princess's mansion that Princess Liyang had raced horses with others in order to obtain the thousand-year-old ginseng. She rode the horse as if her life depended on it and almost fell off the horse.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ge sighed in her heart that Princess Liyang's love for Pei Yu was truly sincere.

In the blink of an eye, spring has arrived, the weather has warmed up, and flowers are blooming.

In such nice weather, Zhaoge pushed the wheelchair and took Pei Yu out for a walk.

The sun made people feel lazy. She took Pei Yu to a stream, rolled up her sleeves and trouser legs, and went into the water to fish.

"I'll grill some fish for you." She said with great joy, "I'm sure I can catch it."

Pei Yu smiled as he sat in the wheelchair. "The fish is very slippery. If you can catch it with your bare hands, you are amazing."

"Of course I'm awesome!"

Zhao Ge raised an eyebrow at him proudly, then began to concentrate on catching fish.

Unfortunately, just as Pei Yu said, the fish was too slippery and it was really hard to catch it with bare hands. As soon as I caught one, the fish twisted its body and ran away.

Gradually, Zhao Ge became a little discouraged.

"What's going on? If we can't catch this, we'll starve..."

"Alas, you didn't listen to the old man's advice and now you are suffering." Pei Yu on the shore ridiculed her.

Zhao Ge snorted, "You wait!"

She couldn't swallow this breath, so she started trying hard to catch it again. After trying for a long time, this time she actually caught a dizzy little fish.

"I've caught you! Pei Yu! Look!"

Zhao Ge was extremely excited. He held the little fish tightly in both hands and turned around to show it to Pei Yu.

She thought she would see Pei Yu's indulgent smile.

But the moment he turned back, Pei Yu's face froze and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Pei Yu!"

Zhao Ge was in a daze, his legs went limp, and he knelt on one knee in the stream, his knee being scratched by the hard rocks in the water.

But she ignored the pain, rushed to the shore, and hurriedly brought Pei Yu back to the yard.

"Wait a minute, Pei Yu, wait a minute, I'll go call the doctor right away!"

She was flustered and confused, crying and calling his name, "Don't fall asleep, please, I'll be back soon, wait for me!"

"Do not……"

Pei Yu murmured something, but was unable to stop her from leaving.

A moment later, the imperial physician rushed over.

Li Yang and Zhao Ge followed behind him. The imperial physician stood beside the bed and sighed to Pei Yu.

"Why are you two pretending to be so profound? Tell me what happened to him." Li Yang has a bad temper.

The leading doctor quickly turned around and knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, I'm afraid... this young master... is not going to make it."

"Isn't he getting better?" Princess Liyang shuddered.

"Yes!" Zhao Ge seemed to want to prove something. "He has been in good spirits these days and often asks me to take him out for a walk. Doctor, did you see it wrong? Can you take another look?"

The imperial doctors saw that they could no longer conceal the truth, so they all kowtowed and apologized.

"Your Highness, please forgive me!"

"What's wrong? Explain everything to me clearly!" Li Yang was so angry that these imperial doctors were talking nonsense.

The doctors looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, the old doctor who was in the lead replied tremblingly, "Princess, in fact, from the very beginning, when I felt the pulse of this young master, I found that his heart pulse was intact. There is really no cure because he is not sick at all!"

"No illness?" Li Yang was stunned. "How is that possible? He looks like he is not sick."

The imperial physician was sweating profusely. "I was also very surprised by this. So I went back and looked through the medical books carefully, but I couldn't find the answer. The young master's heart pulse is obviously intact, but he looks sick and haggard. This doesn't look like a disease, but rather like... a punishment from heaven!"

Li Yang almost kicked him, "What nonsense are you talking about! You are the one being punished by God!"

"I'm telling you, if you keep shirking your responsibilities, I'll cut off your arms right now. You're a bunch of quacks, and you're shamelessly eating salaries at the Imperial Hospital? I'll get you all out!"

The doctors were horrified: "Princess, spare my life!"

Zhao Ge on the other side was in a state of disarray, with only the word "divine punishment" in his mind.

She didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but since Pei Yu was like this, she had to believe.

If I pray to God for forgiveness on Pei Yu's behalf, will it make him get better?

So, after this day, Zhao Ge began to frequently go in and out of Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in Dongdu, worship statues of gods at home, copy Buddhist scriptures every day, and kneel down to beg God to spare Pei Yu.

Princess Liyang didn't believe it at first, but when she saw Zhaoge was so pious, she began to imitate her in her mansion.

The two women were so devout, but Pei Yu still could not wake up.

It's been seven days, and the string in Zhaoge's heart has only held on by force.

Once when she was coming back from the princess's mansion, she saw a man dressed as a Taoist priest on the street, and somehow she went over to ask him to break the divine punishment on Pei Yu.

The Taoist wanted to charge her ten taels of silver, but she didn't have that much money, so she gave him her bracelet.

"This bracelet can be worth a lot of money. Please have mercy on me and tell me." Zhao Ge was afraid that he would not believe her, so she prayed humbly.

"All right." The Taoist stroked his beard and said reluctantly, "There is only one way, to pay off the debt with blood!"

Zhao Ge was delighted: "Thank you!"

From that day on, she cut her blood every day to offer to the statue.

I don’t know if God really heard her prayers, but three days later, Pei Yu really woke up.

Zhao Ge cried silently beside his bed: "You finally woke up, you scared me to death."

Pei Yu knew that she was crying again and wanted to wipe her tears, but when he remembered that he couldn't see, he gave up.

So, I just comforted her with a hoarse voice: "I'm fine, don't cry."

Zhao Ge wiped her tears: "I won't cry, then you don't need to sleep anymore, okay?"

"I...I don't want to sleep." Pei Yu forced a smile.

After a while, Princess Liyang also came. Seeing Pei Yu's face, which was terribly weak, her heart trembled.

She knew that Pei Yu only wanted to talk to Zhao Ge, so she didn't squeeze in between the two of them, but just stood aside and watched silently.

When Zhaoge raised her hand, she saw the bloody gauze on her wrist and was startled: "What happened to your hand?"

Zhao Ge quickly signaled her not to say anything.

But Pei Yu asked alertly: "What's wrong with your wrist?"

He struggled to get up and touched her wrist in panic. Zhao Ge felt pain and even dropped the bowl of medicine in his hand to the ground.

"Li Yang, what's wrong with her!" Pei Yu asked anxiously.

Princess Liyang was stunned: "There was a lot of blood on her wrist, which was wrapped in gauze..."

After saying that, he seemed to realize something and rushed to the statue to take a look. "You actually cut your blood to offer to the statue! Did you meet that swindler? He is just a charlatan, he is not even a Taoist priest."

Zhao Ge's face was already very ugly, and he said awkwardly: "Don't say anything."

But Pei Yu's expression became even uglier. He lowered his voice and said, "Li Yang, go out first. I have something to say to her."

Li Yang seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing and walked out angrily.

The room was quiet. Zhao Ge lowered his head, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Pei Yu lowered his eyes, and there was no emotion in his voice, "Zhao Ge, don't do these stupid things for me."

"No matter how much you pray to the gods or seek medical advice, I can't help you."

"What nonsense! There is no disease that cannot be cured—"

"Because I'm not sick at all."

Pei Yu closed his eyes and said, "All this is the retribution for changing my fate."

Zhao Ge was struck by lightning.

What does it mean to change destiny?

Before she could think about it, the hoarse voice came again.
