It was the next morning when Hua Zhi woke up again. She looked around and smiled at Gu Yanxi, "Did you drive Shaoyao away again?"
"No, she left on her own." Gu Yanxi lied calmly. Seeing that Ah Zhi seemed to have remembered, he stepped forward to help. He first helped her to lean against himself, and then took the quilt next to her and put it behind her.
"How does it feel?"
"It's like an overwhelming pain." However, after this movement, Hua Zhi's forehead was already covered with sweat, and her lips had a little color.
Gu Yanxi was about to speak when Shaoyao pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing Huahua wake up, she ignored Yan Ge's expression, pushed people aside, took a seat, and checked her. After a moment, she nodded and said, "She's recovering, but Huahua, you have to bear the pain. Some medicines can relieve your pain but they are not good for your body. I didn't use them when I prepared the medicine."
"Don't worry, I can handle it."
"I'll go get you the medicinal food."
Shaoyao came and left in such a hurry. Gu Yanxi was not angry. She brought some water for Azhi to drink, and then put the small table that had been prepared earlier on the bed.
Shaoyao came back faster, but this time she failed to snatch Gu Yanxi away and could only watch Brother Yan feed Huahua.
The Hua family also knew from Shaoyao's actions that Hua Zhi had woken up. Hua Yi was walking in hurriedly, but he paused when he saw this scene. The worry in his heart was suddenly put to rest.
There aren't many romantic people in the Gu family. To be treated so attentively by him, she must be truly trusted by him.
"Grandfather." Hua Zhi quickly swallowed what was in her mouth to avoid the next spoonful that was following closely, and signaled Yan Xi with her eyes to slow down.
Gu Yanxi was enjoying it and looked at Hua Yizheng with some displeasure. He said, "I have risked my life for you, and now you won't let me eat properly?"
Hua Yizheng coughed lightly, pretending he didn't notice he was unwelcome. "Are you feeling okay? How is your wound healing?"
"You see I'm eating so happily, how can I not be in good spirits? My wound hurts a little, and Shaoyao said she didn't give me any pain-relieving medicine, which is good for your health." Hua Zhi smiled with her eyes narrowed. She was indeed happy. Her family was safe and sound, and that was the best thing.
Hua Yizhen felt uncomfortable with a choking throat, but since Zhier didn't want him to worry, he let her rest assured.
"Pain is inevitable, just bear with it. Shaoyao is a good doctor, so it's right to listen to her." Hua Yi was smiling, his whole body exuding kindness, "Eat first, I'll come over later."
"good."
Before she could close her mouth, a spoon was fed to her. Hua Zhi glanced at the man, but finally opened her mouth wide and took a bite.
Hua Yizheng looked at them with a smile in his eyes. It was not necessarily the case that Zhier was at a disadvantage among these two people.
Hua Zhi only ate half of the jar of medicinal food. She was not as energetic as she said. She pushed the bowl in front of Yan Xi and said, "Eat one bowl. Don't let anyone see it."
Gu Yanxi didn't even need to think about it to know Ah Zhi's intention. Although he felt that there was no need to be so careful with the Hua family, they were not so useless, but Ah Zhi said so, so he couldn't refuse. He ate a bowl of rice with her bowl and spoon, and handed it all to her in front of Shaoyao's wide eyes, "Make less next time, do you want Ah Zhi to eat one can for two meals?"
Shaoyao hadn't yet recovered from the fact that Brother Yan had used Huahua's bowl and spoon. When she heard this, she subconsciously said, "I was planning to keep half for myself... Brother Yan, this is for women to eat, it replenishes blood!"
"I've already eaten." Gu Yanxi didn't care. Not to mention that it was for blood supplement, he would eat it even if he was losing blood if he could use the same bowl and spoon with Azhi. "I need to go back to Beijing first, I'll leave soon."
Hua Zhi understood, "Be careful, don't get yourself into trouble. Also, the Hua family is the victim, don't let us be at a disadvantage in this matter."
"No." Gu Yanxi took the small table off the bed, sat closer, and said softly, "He can't turn over."
Even the eldest son of a powerful foreign family ended up being exiled. The second son was far inferior to the eldest and was even less valued by the emperor's uncle. If he really had the ability to turn things around, the emperor would look up to him.
"When you go back, find a chance to go to the Hua family and tell them... just say that Fourth Uncle is sick and I will take care of him for a while before returning."
Gu Yanxi raised his eyebrows. He was a little envious of Mr. Hua Si, who was of the same age as him. He had watched Ah Zhi grow up and they had a very good relationship.
"Why is it Mr. Hua Si?"
"Because Fourth Aunt is more capable of handling things than others, hurry up, find me a pen and paper, I will write a letter to Fourth Aunt, she will know what to do."
Shaoyao put down what she was holding and went to get the pen and ink. She set up the small table again and said, "You tell me to write."
"I'll do it myself. Fourth Aunt recognizes my handwriting." Hua Zhi had wounds on her arms and shoulders. It hurt whenever she moved. Her hand holding the pen was shaking, and she had to use her other hand to hold it in order to write properly.
Just at this moment, Hua Pingyang came in with his elder brother. Seeing her like this, he got anxious and said, "Why don't you take a good rest? Who in the Hua family doesn't hold a pen? Do you really need to show off your ability?"
Shaoyao immediately got angry, "Huahua is not trying to show off!"
"Hurry up." Hua Zhi stopped her and looked up at her father and fourth uncle. "Yan Xi is going back to Beijing. If I don't come back without an explanation, my family will be anxious. Fourth uncle, I used you as a scapegoat. I said you were sick and I stayed to take care of you, but I didn't want to make Fourth Aunt worry, so I thought of writing her a letter to reassure her."
You thought of this and that, but what about you? What about yourself? Hua Pingyang took a deep breath and moved the small table away. "I'll write. She can recognize my handwriting."
"That's fine, but Uncle, don't write too seriously about me. Just say that my leg is injured and I need to recover before I can ride a horse."
"I know." Hua Pingyang knew Zhier's intentions completely, but he would not do that. They should all know and help share the housework.
Hua Zhi felt relieved, and looked at Yan Xi with some unconscious love in her eyes, "Please help me take all the letters back, everyone must be waiting anxiously."
Gu Yanxi loved her like this, but he couldn't cross the line in front of her father, so he could only respond to her with a softer look, "Okay, give them all to me."
Hua Zhi didn't need to say anything else. Hua Pingyu went out and gave some instructions, and soon a package was delivered. Hua Pingyang blew on the ink to seal the opening, put it in, tied it up and handed it to Gu Yanxi.
Gu Yanxi stood up and took it, then turned around and stared at Shaoyao, "Don't leave. If anyone comes to attack me again, I will allow you to kill them. If they are guilty of treason, they are no longer Daqing people, so there is no need to show mercy."
Shaoyao nodded vigorously. Although she wanted to go back and make Gu Cheng'an suffer a fate worse than death, Huahua's health was more important at the moment.
Seeing Ah Zhi sitting up straight and leaning over to look at him, Gu Yanxi walked over and pressed her down to lie down. He couldn't help but touch her head, "Take good care of yourself. Shaoyao said you can get out of bed only when you can. Don't be stubborn. Be good and don't make me worry."
Hua Zhi rubbed his palm and whispered as if speaking only to him, "Well, I'll be good, don't worry."
Gu Yanxi's heart was so soft that she didn't want to leave. She was hurt at the slightest provocation. He really wanted her to stay within his sight all the time and not let her go anywhere. He would also not go anywhere and just live his life by her side.
