Forcibly Snatched by the Tyrant After Transmigrating into a Book 63

Chapter 63: Entanglement

Chu Yi supported his belly, simply draped a long robe over himself, and closed his eyes, waiting for news from Lianfang.

Lianfang took a hand warmer and a lantern, walked to the residence gate, and ordered the gatekeeper to open it.

She leaned out slightly, extending the lantern a little, and examined the area with the faint light.

She saw a person lying on the steps in the distance. Lianfang’s heart tightened, and she hurried forward to check. When the light from the lantern gradually illuminated Sheng Qianheng’s face, and it was clearly visible, she was slightly flustered and quickly reached out to check his breathing.

Only after confirming that Sheng Qianheng was still breathing did Lianfang breathe a sigh of relief.

She ordered the two servants to quickly carry Sheng Qianheng into the residence, then quickly returned to Chu Yi’s bedchamber.

Hearing Lianfang’s anxious push of the door, Chu Yi looked up and asked, “How is he?”

After taking off the clothes that were already covered in a lot of snow, Lianfang walked to Chu Yi’s side and reported, “Your Highness, His Majesty seems to have fainted from the cold at the door. This servant has already ordered people to carry His Majesty in…”

Chu Yi immediately sat up. In a moment, a dull pain from his lower back made him have to support himself on the bedpost.

Lianfang quickly supported Chu Yi and asked, “Your Highness, be careful. This servant doesn’t know how to place His Majesty now.”

Chu Yi took several deep breaths. After the pain had subsided, he finally calmed down and arranged everything one by one. “Move Sheng Qianheng to the side room and light a few more floor braziers. And have someone bring a few more quilts to cover him. And… go and find a doctor to take a look at him!”

Before Lianfang could reply, Chu Yi continued, “Forget it. Help me change. I’ll go to the palace to get an imperial physician.”

Lianfang tried to dissuade him, “Your Highness, it’s freezing outside. Are you really going out? This servant is afraid that if you accidentally catch a cold, it will be difficult.”

Chu Yi didn’t know Sheng Qianheng’s condition at the moment, but he was only concerned about the Da Mo emperor’s safety!

“But it’s probably difficult to find a doctor at this hour. I can only use the token my older brother gave me to get an imperial physician.”

Lianfang could naturally see that Chu Yi’s feelings for the Da Mo emperor had not faded, and it was even more so now.

“Your Highness, this servant will go!”

Chu Yi supported his lower back, only feeling that the pain was spreading like vines. He looked down and saw that his abdomen was already swollen, and his clothes could no longer hide it. Helpless, he had no choice but to compromise and hand over the object in his hand. “Lianfang, take this token! The road is slippery in the snow. Go and come back quickly!”

Lianfang quickly agreed and immediately stood up.

When Chu Yi supported his waist and sat back on the bed, he closed his eyes and rested his head on the bedpost. He heard the hard-to-ignore noise from outside and thought it must be the maids tidying up Sheng Qianheng according to his orders.

He wanted to get up and go to the side room to check several times, but in the end, he couldn’t get up due to the influence of the drug.

However, no matter how he told himself not to think about Sheng Qianheng, the worry for him in his heart was always with him, difficult to dispel. He stood up and personally lit a furnace of calming incense, but his chaotic thoughts seemed to have no restraint and were still surging in his heart…

It wasn’t until Chu Yi felt a faint fetal movement from his abdomen that he said to the little one in a low voice, “Did you feel that your other daddy is here? You must have missed him after not seeing him for so long, right? But we’ll just go and take a look. No being greedy, okay!”

After finally finding a suitable reason for himself, Chu Yi quickly stood up.

Just as he was standing at the door of the side room, Lianfang rushed back with an imperial physician from the royal palace.

The imperial physician bowed to Chu Yi. Chu Yi immediately said, “Thank you for your trouble, imperial physician, for coming so late…”

The imperial physician nodded and immediately entered the room.

Lianfang had expected that Chu Yi would eventually come to see Sheng Qianheng, but it was almost midnight, and the night was very cold.

She ordered someone to light a few more hand warmers and handed them to Chu Yi.

Chu Yi stood at the door of the side room, muttering to himself.

Lianfang: “Your Highness, don’t worry.”

Chu Yi hummed in agreement and paced in the small space at the door.

Seeing her master so worried, Lianfang thought that it would be better to go in and take a look.

She went into the room and gave the imperial physician a few instructions, then stood back by Chu Yi’s side and said, “Your Highness, I have already ordered the imperial physician to apply needles to seal a few of His Majesty’s acupoints. His xìnxiāng will be temporarily sealed for these two days. Your Highness can go in and take a look now.”

Chu Yi looked at Lianfang and couldn’t help but choke. His hand, which was about to push the door, trembled unconsciously. Once he entered this room, it meant that in Sheng Qianheng’s eyes, he, Chu Yi, still had him in his heart.

But he really couldn’t deceive himself. He lifted his leg and stepped into the room, slowly walking to the bed where Sheng Qianheng was lying.

He looked at Sheng Qianheng’s flushed cheeks from the cold and only felt as if his heart were being squeezed by an unknown hand. He always felt as if he couldn’t breathe.

Sheng Qianheng was clearly a high and mighty sovereign, but what was he doing now?

He averted his gaze and asked the imperial physician, “How is he?”

The imperial physician: “To answer Your Highness, he should have been invaded by cold evil, his yang qi is weak, and his qi and blood are stagnant. His face is as pale as paper, his lips are purplish, and his pulse is deep, thin, and on the verge of disappearing. It is a sign of deficiency and cold. He should have been in a cold place for a long time, his yang qi was damaged, and his qi and blood were not flowing smoothly, which led to his fainting.
But Your Highness, although he was frozen, there is no need to burn the floor braziers in this room so vigorously. Warming up should be done gradually. This subject will prescribe a few doses of cold-dispelling soup. Have someone decoct it later and have him take it as soon as possible.”

Chu Yi nodded and immediately extinguished two of the floor braziers.

Lianfang immediately went with the imperial physician to get the medicine, leaving Chu Yi alone with Sheng Qianheng.

When only Chu Yi was left in the room, he slowly sat on the edge of the bed and said to himself, “Sheng Qianheng, I’ll only let you stay until the day you recover. You always barge into my life so suddenly. How do you expect me to adapt? Sheng Qianheng, even if you are the emperor, you can’t force me…”

Sheng Qianheng felt that his stiff limbs were barely able to move. He looked up in the faint candlelight.

He turned his head slightly and saw Chu Yi sitting on the edge of the bed with his back to him.

He struggled to extend his hand out of the quilt, slowly pinched one of Chu Yi’s fingers, and said tremblingly, “A-Yi…”

When the pad of Chu Yi’s thumb was gently pinched, his whole body seemed to be frozen in place, motionless. He slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on Sheng Qianheng’s face. He saw that his face was still as pale as paper. At that moment, countless thoughts surged in Chu Yi’s heart, but for a moment, he didn’t know how to react.

Sheng Qianheng looked at Chu Yi’s hesitant expression and said again, “A-Yi, I apologize to you… I still came to find you on my own.”

Chu Yi pressed his lips together, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He could only shake his head slightly, then stood up. But Sheng Qianheng, with some unknown strength, held his hand and refused to let go.

He could only use his other hand to pry open Sheng Qianheng’s fingers, then turned his back and said coldly, “You should rest well. You can stay here for these few days. I’m not so heartless as to drive a sick person out of my residence.”

The moment he finished speaking, Chu Yi hurried out of the room without looking back.

He quickly closed the door and took a deep breath with his eyes closed.

Chu Yi had never thought that Sheng Qianheng would apologize to him. He had even rehearsed countless scenes of their reunion. But it was definitely not like this…

What on earth did Sheng Qianheng want to do? He was getting more and more unable to figure him out.

Chu Yi returned to his own bedchamber. When he lay down on the bed again, he only felt physically and mentally exhausted.

Every time he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with Sheng Qianheng’s pale face.

It wasn’t until the yín hour that Chu Yi curled up in the quilt and fell into a deep sleep.

He woke up again near noon. He sat up and rubbed his slightly swollen temples.

Lianfang stood up and helped Chu Yi change, then reported Sheng Qianheng’s general condition to him. “Your Highness, His Majesty is already awake, and his complexion is much better.”

Chu Yi looked back at Lianfang and questioned him, “Why are you telling me these things?”

“Lest Your Highness has no appetite for tea or food today and wrongs the little highness in your belly.” Lianfang helped Chu Yi tie the frog buttons at his waist and said, “Your Highness, although Lianfang does not understand love, Lianfang knows that only by living as one pleases can one be free and unrestrained.”

Chu Yi raised a hand and tapped Lianfang on the head. “When did it become your turn to teach me? You’re really getting more and more audacious!”

Lianfang chuckled softly. “That’s also because Your Highness treats me very well, so Lianfang dares to speak frankly.”

Chu Yi was having his midday meal in the room. He had only had a few bites when Chu Mingzhao rushed in.

She pulled on Chu Yi’s sleeve and chattered, “Royal Uncle! Who on earth is the person living in the side room? Can I go and see him?”

Chu Yi gave an awkward smile. How did Chu Mingzhao know that there was someone in the side room? Could it be that someone in his residence had been gossiping?

He immediately explained to Chu Mingzhao, “Zhao’er, the one in the side hall is a pitiful person that Royal Uncle saved. He fainted at our residence gate because he was freezing and had no food to eat or warm clothes to wear.”

Chu Mingzhao “ah-ed” and then said, “Royal Uncle, how can someone be so pitiful?”

Chu Yi hadn’t wanted to lie to a child, but now he had no choice.

“There are always beggars in the world. They have no ability to work and can only starve and freeze. Therefore, Zhao’er must study more so that in the future, you can inherit your father’s legacy and make the beggars of our Qianlin completely disappear from the streets.”

Chu Mingzhao nodded. “Mm! Zhao’er will definitely study hard!”

Chu Yi held Mingzhao and had her sit on the chair beside him. The two of them had their midday meal together.

Sheng Qianheng looked at Chu Yi’s departing back, only feeling as if he had been abandoned again. But today, he had already entered this residence and would never be driven out by Chu Yi again!

He was determined to make Chu Yi change his mind!

He had used his weakness to apologize to Chu Yi, but he had left him and gone out of the room.

However, Sheng Qianheng had heard Chu Yi’s words clearly. It turned out that Chu Yi still loved him! As long as he had a place in his heart, he would definitely be able to bring him back to Da Mo!

The next day, his body was gradually able to move freely, but he noticed that his gland seemed to be controlled by an external force. He couldn’t release a single bit of xìnxiāng.

Could it be that his gland had been frozen last night! Then what would he use to soothe Chu Yi?

Sheng Qianheng paced anxiously in the room! Had he lost the advantage of a Qianyuan! How could this be?

Chu Yi couldn’t stand the annoyance of Lianfang reporting Sheng Qianheng’s condition to him every hour and could only assign her to the outside.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The room was finally much quieter.

He stood up to see the little An’er who was with the wet nurse. When he was about to go back to his room, he somehow ended up at the door of the side room.

By the time Chu Yi came back to his senses, it was already too late!

Sheng Qianheng had been in a state of anxiety in the room. He heard the sound of footsteps approaching from a distance, until they stopped at the door of his room.

The moment he turned to look at the door, he had already noticed Chu Yi’s xìnxiāng.

He immediately strode forward and pushed the door open.

As expected, Chu Yi was standing outside the door.

Chu Yi and Sheng Qianheng’s eyes met. In an instant, his mind wavered, and he wanted to turn and leave. However, before he could make a move, Sheng Qianheng had already wrapped an arm around his waist and gently pulled him into the room…
