"Cough, cough, cough!"
After the two finally separated, Physician Xu coughed twice to remind them of his presence.
Seeing that Wei Wu and Zhu Yuxuan were looking in his direction, Physician Xu then spoke:
“Your Highness, the Duke of Zhenguo has now awakened, so you can return to your residence to recuperate. I will take care of things here.”
As they were talking, Physician Xu entered the ward, and only then did the two realize that he was carrying a white porcelain bowl.
Seeing that Wei Wu and Zhu Yuxuan were both looking at the bowl in his hand, Physician Xu spoke up to explain.
"For nearly a month, the Duke of Zhenguo has been relying on miraculous medicines to stay alive, and his vital energy has been depleted. He needs to be slowly and gently replenished."
In the past, Zhu Yuxuan was the one who fed Wei Wu medicine, but this time, Physician Xu did not hand the medicine bowl to Zhu Yuxuan.
Just then, Wei Wu spoke up.
"Alright, Yuxuan, you've taken care of me for so long, it's time for you to go back and get some rest. Just wait for me to come home!"
Since Wei Wu had spoken, Zhu Yuxuan couldn't press the matter further. She could only slowly stand up, look at Wei Wu, and say softly:
"My lord, then Yuxuan will head back now."
After speaking, Zhu Yuxuan turned to look at Physician Xu.
"Old Master Xu, I'm entrusting my husband to you."
Physician Xu bowed slightly in greeting, and Zhu Yuxuan did not linger, turning around and leaving the ward.
Over the next few days, Zhu Yuxuan visited the Imperial Hospital every day, and Wei Wu gradually recovered.
Although his lower limbs still lack strength, his arms can move normally and he can feed himself.
Meanwhile, after several days of fermentation, the news that Wei Wu had woken up from his coma also spread throughout the capital.
Over the course of several days, people from the Academy of Sciences and those who had a good relationship with Wei Wu all made special trips to visit him.
On the surface, everything is developing in a positive direction, but underneath, there is still an undercurrent.
That day, Zheng Shiye had just finished visiting Wei Wu and came out of the Imperial Hospital. He was being pushed back to his residence by his newly hired servants.
Since it was getting late, after dinner he dismissed the servants and prepared to go to bed.
However, just as the servant was about to leave, he pushed open the door and found that there was a figure inexplicably standing outside.
The figure was covered by a black cloak, making it impossible to see his appearance or even his figure.
The servant reacted and was about to cry out, but before the figure could make any move, the servant fell to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Master Zheng's heart pounded, and his pupils contracted in tension.
However, instead of shouting like the servants, he forced himself to calm down and looked at the other person calmly.
Master Zheng did not speak, because he knew that the other party would definitely state their purpose, otherwise they would not have been standing outside the door for so long.
As expected, just as Master Zheng had guessed, the other person spoke the moment their eyes met.
“Master Zheng, you are a member of my Holy Sect, yet you betrayed your master for personal gain, abandoning the Holy Sect to join the imperial court. Did you ever imagine that you would face this calamity today?”
Swish!
Upon hearing this, Zheng's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
Before the other party spoke, Master Zheng could barely maintain his composure, but now he was truly afraid, terrified from the bottom of his heart.
Firstly, it's because of the content of this person's speech; the ability to utter the words "Holy Sect" undoubtedly indicates that only someone from the White Lotus Sect could do so.
In other words, the person who suddenly came to their door was one of the lunatics from the White Lotus Sect.
But that wasn't the most crucial point. What truly terrified Master Zheng was the constantly changing tone of the man's voice.
The first sentence was spoken by a woman, but it immediately turned into the childish voice of a toddler.
