Chapter 102 - 102 You Have Me
102 You Have Me
Imperial Duchess Wei was someone who slept beside her, so she naturally knew that her husband had been injured by an arrow 20 years ago. At this moment, hearing Gu Yanfei’s tireless explanation, she also came to a realization and clapped heavily. “In the past, those quack doctors said that your stomach was weak because you were addicted to alcohol. So that’s what happened!”
Because of his stomach problems, Imperial Duchess Wei had also invited an imperial physician for Imperial Duke Wei a few times. He had also drunk medicine, but there was no improvement, so she could only persuade him to drink less.
Gu Yanfei praised Imperial Duke Wei in all seriousness, “You’re really amazing!” He could really endure it!
Chu Yi tilted his head and put his fist under his lips. He laughed softly, elegantly and restrained.
“…” Imperial Duke Wei opened and closed his mouth, speechless.
He had never taken those problems of gastrointestinal nausea, bloat, and abdominal pain seriously, and thought he would simply get used to it.
After all, he had many old injuries from the battlefield. Usually, every time he encountered a snowstorm, the cold would flare up and hurt like a knife.
Even if he occasionally bled, Imperial Duke Wei didn’t think it was a big deal. The prescriptions given by those imperial physicians were really too bitter and useless anyway. After drinking it a few times, he secretly poured the medicine away.
Imperial Duke Wei coughed dryly to cover it up, and his smile was a little forced as he chuckled. “Sure, sure.”
Knowing her husband well, Imperial Duchess Wei could see the guilty look in her husband’s smile at a glance. Her heart skipped a beat and she narrowed her eyes.
“Wei Seng, you!” A dangerous glint appeared in her eyes. She raised her hand and grabbed Imperial Duke Wei’s right ear, twisting it forcefully…
Imperial Duke Wei sucked in a breath of cold air, his features instantly contorting on his pale face.
If not for the fact that they were outside, he would have said, “Have mercy, Madam.”
Imperial Duchess Wei quickly let go of Imperial Duke Wei’s ear and gave Gu Yanfei a bright smile. She said apologetically, “Young… Young Master, I’m an impatient person. I was rude just now.”
As she spoke, she took out a horse whip from her waist and forcefully stuffed it into Gu Yanfei’s hands. “I have a Akhal-Teke horse that can travel thousands of miles a day. Take it as my apology!”
“Let’s forget about our grudges with a smile. Don’t be calculative with me… Sigh, it’s all this old man’s fault for avoiding treatment. That’s why his injuries worsened and caused such a misunderstanding!”
As she spoke, Imperial Duchess Wei vented her anger on Imperial Duke Wei. She couldn’t help but punch his arm a few times, and the way she addressed him changed from the endearing “Ah Shen” to a distasteful “old man” now.
Poor Imperial Duke Wei had just recovered from a serious illness. After being heavily pounded by Imperial Duchess Wei, he almost lost his balance.
Gu Yanfei chuckled. Her laughter was as clear as silver bells, as if a breeze with the fragrance of flowers had swept past.
She was thinking of buying a horse!
“Sure.” Gu Yanfei grabbed the horse whip and swung it casually, accepting the other party’s apology.
Madam Wei’s straightforward and fiery personality was a little similar to her Ninth Senior Sister in the Bright Spirit Realm.
At the thought of this, Gu Yanfei couldn’t help but feel a sense of closeness to Madam Wei. She added, “My Lord, this is an old illness. Although the root of the illness has been removed, you haven’t recovered yet.”
“When we get back, find an imperial physician to give you a prescription to nourish you. After a year and a half, you’ll be able to recover. In the future, you can’t drink strong wine or eat fat.”
“Otherwise, your lifespan won’t last long.”
As she spoke, she looked around the room full of smelly blood and smiled faintly. Her indifferent tone seemed to be casual, but the extraordinary methods she had displayed previously made no one dare to underestimate her.
“Little…” Imperial Duke Wei originally wanted to call her ‘Little Girl’, but when he thought about how it would be unsightly for him to expose a girl disguised as a man, he forcefully changed his words. “Little Brother, thank you for this.”
As he spoke, he was more or less afraid.
However, Imperial Duke Wei was an old general who had experienced countless life-and-death battles. That fragile emotion only lasted for a moment before he perked up again, and he thought to himself, “I actually met a living immortal by chance when I came to watch a show. This means that I’m not destined to die!”
Little Brother? Gu Yanfei was amused by this form of address. Didn’t that make her Chu Yi’s little uncle?
She couldn’t help but chuckle as she glanced at Chu Yi. Her dark eyes were sparkling, and her smile was shallow.
Their eyes met and Chu Yi raised his eyebrows in confusion.
“Little Brother,” Imperial Duchess Wei had the same tacit understanding as her husband and asked eagerly, “Do you have any nourishing prescriptions?”
