Ever since the poison entered his lungs, Xiao Yu has been sleeping one or two hours longer than before.

He didn't want to, but he felt the life slipping away very clearly.

His hands and feet began to lose strength and his body became easily tired. When he had nothing to do, he would sit instead of standing if possible, and lie down instead of sitting if possible.

Fortunately, Yan Qing, Yun Ting and other subordinates are very capable and can complete the tasks assigned to them, so he can sleep peacefully until he wakes up naturally every day.

Su Lingyue would wake up earlier than him every day. Even after waking up, she would not move around, but just lie quietly in his arms.

In the past, when Su Lingyue woke up first, she would not stay still and would either tickle him here or touch him there until she woke him up.

He saw Su Lingyue's cautiousness and restraint, and he was the same.

Reason and desire fought repeatedly, but finally reached a reconciliation. As long as she was by his side and he could hold her in his arms, it was enough.

Xiao Yu gently stroked the back of the person in his arms and smelled the faint fragrance of her hair, but he noticed something was wrong.

Su Lingyue didn't react to his actions at all.

Generally speaking, Su Lingyue would be quiet after waking up. But when she knew that he was awake, she would start making various small movements.

Touch his face, touch his chest, and rub your head against his neck for a while.

However, Su Lingyue has not woken up yet.

"Yue'er!" Xiao Yu let go of Su Lingyue and called her softly.

Su Lingyue still didn't respond.

Xiao Yu looked at Su Lingyue's face and gradually realized that something was wrong.

Her face was pale, her lips were bloodless, her brows were furrowed, and her body was not as warm as usual.

The two of them moved away from each other, and the smell from the quilt filled the air. His heart tightened, as he was very familiar with this smell.

Countless dark nights had been tainted by his dreams, the smell of blood.

Su Lingyue said that her happy life was during these few days, and the smell had never been as strong as it was today at this time before.

He lifted the quilt and saw that Su Lingyue's panties were bright red, and the lotus pink bed sheet was also bright red.

"Yue'er! Yue'er!" Xiao Yu gently patted Su Lingyue's face, but she still didn't react at all.

Xiao Yu panicked and shouted, "Someone come!"

Caidie and Caiyi, who were waiting outside to help Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue get up and wash, heard Xiao Yu's voice and hurriedly pushed open the bedroom door.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Caiyi asked as she pushed open the door.

"Go and call Uncle Lu over!" Xiao Yu said anxiously.

"Miss!" Caidie Caiyi walked around the screen and saw the situation on the bed. She was so scared that she stood there in a daze!

"Go quickly!" Xiao Yu shouted again, and Caidie Caiyi came back to her senses from her shock.

"Sister, please take care of the young lady. I will go call Doctor Lu." Caidie said and ran out of the bedroom.

"Yue'er, wake up!" Xiao Yu held the unconscious Su Lingyue in his arms with panic in his eyes. His cheek was close to Su Lingyue's forehead, and he called her softly, fearing that she would disappear the next moment.

Xiao Yu exuded a terrifying aura. Caiyi didn't dare to say much and could only stand aside silently.

Not long after, the bedroom door was pushed open, and Caidie, holding a medicine box, and Dr. Lu trotted in, panting.

"Your Highness, Doctor Lu is here!" Caiyi said happily.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu looked towards the door. Doctor Lu walked in, panting, around the screen.

"Uncle Lu, come and take a look!" Xiao Yu urged.

Doctor Lu was also shocked when he saw the scene on the bed.

"You..." Doctor Lu's face turned dark and he looked at Xiao Yu in shock.

He did give him medicine to consummate the marriage, but he didn't let him go through this.

"No!" Xiao Yu urged, "She must be having her period. Uncle Lu, please treat her quickly!"

After finding out the reason, Doctor Lu's complexion looked better. He walked forward, took Su Lingyue's hand and began to take her pulse.

"What's going on?" Xiao Yu frowned and looked at Doctor Lu and asked.

"It's the aftereffect of the last caning." Doctor Lu said, and took the medicine box, took out a pill from it, and put it into Su Lingyue's mouth. Caiyi handed over some water, and Xiao Yu fed her to drink it.

After giving her the medicine, Doctor Lu took out a silver needle and started acupuncture on her arm.

Xiao Yu felt heartbroken as he looked at Su Lingyue's pale face. He thought the injuries from the last caning had gradually healed, but he didn't expect there were still sequelae.

"Will it be like this next time?" Xiao Yu frowned.

"This shouldn't be the case!" Doctor Lu inserted the silver needle and began to take Su Lingyue's pulse.

After a moment he asked, "Has she taken any medication recently?"

"I've never seen her take it. Have you ever seen it?" Xiao Yu asked Caidie Caiyi in a deep voice.

Caidie Caiyi hurriedly shook her head, "We have been with the young lady the whole time, and we have never seen her take any medicine."

"That's strange! His pulse shows that he seems to have taken blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine in the past two days."

"Ointment!" Xiao Yu suddenly reacted and said to Cai Yi, "Bring the ointment on the table over here and let me see it!"

Caiyi handed the box on the table to Doctor Lu. He opened it, smelled it, and nodded, "There is indeed a blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine in it."

"This is the scar-removing ointment she applied on the scars from caning." Xiao Yu explained.

Doctor Lu sighed, "No wonder! She hasn't fully recovered from the caning last time. Using blood-activating medicine during her menstrual period would only make the injury worse. This medicine can only be used after her menstrual period is over."

He turned to Caidie Caiyi and said, "I will write a recipe for her diet and cook for her according to the recipe every day. As for the medicine she needs to drink every day, I will ask the servant who delivers medicine to the prince to bring it together."

"I understand, Uncle Lu." Caiyi responded.

Doctor Lu saw that the time was almost up, so he pulled out the silver needle and felt her pulse again, "There won't be any more heavy bleeding, you guys wipe her body and change her clothes!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and gave Su Lingyue a light kiss on the forehead.

Doctor Lu glanced at Xiao Yu, who was holding Su Lingyue gently, with a look of heartache on his face.

It seems that he doesn't know about that yet.

Doctor Lu said nothing and left the bedroom.

Caidie brought hot water and placed it in front of the bed, and then Xiao Yu gently put Su Lingyue down.

The two men wiped Su Lingyue's body clean, changed her menstrual cloth and clothes, and replaced the mattress on the bed.

Xiao Yu came to Doctor Lu's yard. Doctor Lu didn't seem surprised to see him coming.

"Your Highness, please sit down." Doctor Lu used the hot water on the stove to make a pot of health-promoting tea and poured a cup for Xiao Yu.

"Uncle Lu, is her injury serious?" Xiao Yu asked Doctor Lu.

Doctor Lu said calmly, "It's not a minor case. Just walk less and rest more during your period, and don't use blood-activating medicine."

Xiao Yu frowned. She said she felt uncomfortable in her lower abdomen these days. She should have asked Uncle Lu to check her out. But he thought she knew medical skills and didn't take it too seriously, which is why she became like this.

Looking at Xiao Yu's expression, Doctor Lu said, "I thought you were consummating your marriage, but you're making too much of a fuss!"

Xiao Yu said in a deep voice: "I have no plans to consummate my marriage with her. My days are numbered and she still has a long life ahead of her. I have already agreed with her that she will stay with me for this period of time, and before I die, I will give her the divorce papers."

"She agrees?" Doctor Lu asked suspiciously.

"I agree." Xiao Yu replied while stroking the cup.

Doctor Lu felt a little depressed when he heard this. He was already old and there were few things that could change his mind, except for the matter between the two of them.

How could a foolish girl who is just beginning to fall in love and a man who is about to die and has a life full of regrets be brought together? It's fate.

"You still don't understand women's hearts." Doctor Lu sighed lightly and didn't say much more.

He understands.

He knew what Su Lingyue was thinking, and when the time came, he would have his own way to make Su Lingyue obey and let go.

Xiao Yu asked again: "Uncle Lu, did she know about my condition by asking you?"

Doctor Lu replied, "She came to ask me the night you came back from Longhua Temple. I couldn't hide it anymore, so I told her."

Xiao Yu's heart trembled slightly. It turned out that she had known it for a long time but never showed it.

If it weren't for that action on the day of the birthday party, he probably wouldn't have been able to tell.

It turned out that she knew what he was thinking and was willing to cooperate.

In the past, he thought that as long as he had taken care of the matter of revenge, he could die peacefully without any worries.

At this moment, he suddenly felt attached to this world again, and he really wanted to stay with Su Lingyue forever.

He felt a little regretful. If he had known this day would happen, he should not have acted on his own.

Xiao Yu really wanted to see his princess, so he didn't stay any longer and returned to Furong Pavilion. Su Lingyue had already been cleaned up and her frown had relaxed.

He sat down beside the bed, tightly held the slender hand under the quilt, and looked at the person on the bed with extremely gentle eyes.
