Chapter 610

“Cough! Cough! Cough!”

Li Zhiwei let out several faint coughs from the bed.

“Miss!” Cuiguo rushed over in delight to check on Li Zhiwei.

“Weiwei!” Lady Yao hurried to the bedside as well, eager to see whether her daughter had truly awakened.

“Let her go!” Li Zhiwei rasped, her throat dry and hoarse.

She had never expected to wake because of Xu Heming’s furious roar.

Xu Heming froze when he heard her. He had not expected Li Zhiwei to truly regain consciousness.

“Weiwei?” Xu Heming released Zhiya at once and hurried to the bedside. Seeing that Cuiguo had helped Li Zhiwei sit up and lean against her, he suddenly became flustered.

“She just saved me! Let her go!” Li Zhiwei looked at Xu Heming and repeated herself.

“I… I didn’t know. Weiwei, you’re finally awake!” Xu Heming cried out in joy. He embraced Li Zhiwei, unable to stop the tears of excitement from falling.

“Are you all right?” Cuiguo quickly helped Zhiya to her feet.

“I’m fine.” Seeing that Li Zhiwei had awakened, Zhiya also let out a sigh of relief.

“Cuiguo, take Zhiya to see a physician first, then arrange for her to rest properly. We will certainly reward her handsomely.” Even in her joy, Lady Yao did not forget to thank the woman who had saved her daughter.

“What happened?” Li Tianyou had originally been speaking with Xu Heming, but Xu Heming had suddenly rushed into the room, leaving him utterly dumbfounded.

When he entered the room, he saw Cuiguo helping Zhiya out.

Li Tianyou’s heart lurched, and a terrible premonition arose within him.

Could it be that the girl had failed as well?

“Madam… Madam!” Li Tianyou suddenly felt as though his legs could no longer support him.

“All right, Weiwei has already awakened.” Seeing Li Tianyou’s reaction, Lady Yao guessed that he had misunderstood.

She quickly explained, “She’s awake?”

Li Tianyou stared at his daughter’s bed in disbelief. Sure enough, that Xu Heming fellow was embracing his daughter and shedding tears.

“What are you crying for? Isn’t it a good thing that she’s awake?” Li Tianyou stepped forward unhappily and addressed Xu Heming.

“My ​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‍daughter, you’re finally awake.” Looking at Li Zhiwei’s pale face, Li Tianyou’s eyes reddened as well.

“Mother, I want some water.” Seeing the two men vying to cry first, Li Zhiwei felt as though her mouth was about to dry up completely.

She had no choice but to call out to Lady Yao.

“All right, all right!” Hearing her, Lady Yao quickly poured a cup of warm water and brought it to Li Zhiwei.

“Weiwei, I’ll give it to you.” Xu Heming hurriedly took the teacup from Lady Yao and held it to Li Zhiwei’s lips.

Although Li Zhiwei had been unconscious before, she had known everything Xu Heming had done during those days.

She knew that, just like her parents, he truly cared for her, so she obediently drank the water he offered.

“Thank you, Father and Mother. Thank you, Prince.”

Li Zhiwei felt as though she had been watching scenes from a play, seeing the life she had lived in her previous existence as well as everything that had happened to her over the past few days.

The experience had left her shaken, but it had also made her cherish her present life all the more.

She still had all these loved ones who cared for her.

“You mustn’t do this again, child. You nearly scared us to death.” Lady Yao finally relaxed, though she still could not resist scolding her.

“Mother, don’t worry. From now on, I’ll take good care of myself.” Though Li Zhiwei was still weak, she nevertheless promised her mother this.

“Go and call Doctor Zhang.” Only then did Xu Heming turn to order someone to summon the physician.

Doctor Zhang had been staying at the Li residence throughout this period as well.

He had done so in case anything happened to Li Zhiwei, so that he could arrive at once.

When Doctor Zhang arrived and saw that Li Zhiwei had regained consciousness, he was likewise deeply shocked.

“Doctor Zhang, please examine Weiwei quickly and see how she’s doing.” Xu Heming immediately stepped aside to make room for him.

Doctor Zhang did not reply. He simply sat down beside Li Zhiwei and carefully examined her.

“Prince, Lord Li, Madam Li, aside from being somewhat weak, the Princess Consort has no other problems.” Doctor Zhang promptly informed them of his findings.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

“Doctor Zhang, does Weiwei need to eat anything to help restore her health? After all, she’s still carrying a child.” Lady Yao looked at Doctor Zhang with concern.

“Though the Princess Consort is pregnant, she has only just awakened from a coma. She should first have some porridge and other light foods. She must avoid greasy or heavily nourishing dishes for now.” Doctor Zhang considered the matter before giving his advice.

“Chuntao, have the kitchen prepare some plain porridge for Miss at once.” Hearing this, Lady Yao immediately instructed Chuntao to send someone to prepare it.

“Doctor Zhang, is there anything else wrong with the Princess Consort’s body? Why was she unconscious for so long?” Xu Heming asked with a frown.

“As for the reason behind the Princess Consort’s coma, this old man’s medical skills are insufficient, and I was unable to determine it. However, there is nothing else wrong with her body. Even the fetus is perfectly healthy.” Doctor Zhang spoke with complete certainty.

“As long as she’s awake. As long as she’s awake.” Li Tianyou nodded from the side.

Hearing this, no one said anything more.

Xu Heming still had questions, but now that Li Zhiwei had awakened, he could finally relax.

After all, with Li Zhiwei awake, he could set his mind at ease and deal with the people from Qinling.

Just as Xu Heming had this thought, he saw Jin Yan standing outside the courtyard beside Zhu Jingchen.

“Prince An, His Majesty requests your presence at the palace.”

Jin Yan called out each word clearly.

Xu Heming and Li Tianyou exchanged a glance.

“His Majesty is probably summoning you because of the Qinling envoys’ arrival in the capital,” Li Tianyou said after thinking it over.

“Tell His Majesty I’m not free,” Xu Heming replied. He had no desire to work for that treacherous emperor, Zhu Jingchen, who would burn the bridge after crossing the river.

Hmph. Otherwise, who knew when he might be thrown into prison again? The thought left Xu Heming deeply displeased.

“Your Highness, His Majesty said he knows he was wrong. He has already dealt with the city gate guards who acted on their own authority, and the Minister of Personnel has also been dismissed,” Jin Yan said quickly, seemingly aware of what Xu Heming was angry about.

“Prince, go and attend to your duties. I’m all right now. I’ll wait for you to return.” Li Zhiwei looked at Xu Heming and spoke earnestly.

She knew that Xu Heming had suffered grievances during these days as well, but Lanwan needed him.

Moreover, there was still that detestable Lanwan Kingdom.

If they did not drive these loathsome people away, the people of their Lanwan Kingdom would never enjoy peaceful days.

“It’s fine. Those matters aren’t important.” Xu Heming gently helped Li Zhiwei lie back down, then carefully tucked the blanket around her.

“Prince, I’ll wait for you to return. Hurry and drive those people away so that the people of our Lanwan Kingdom can live in peace.” Li Zhiwei clasped Xu Heming’s hand.

She knew he must be extremely anxious, but now that she had awakened, he was unwilling to leave because he was worried about her.

Xu Heming was also afraid that Li Zhiwei might fall unconscious again, which was why he did not want to go.

After all, no one had been able to determine what had caused her previous coma.
