Chapter 44 Very painful
Li Youde wanted to chase after Chen Hui and scold her severely. However, when he recalled the focused and worried look when she was treating him last night, his feet could no longer move as if they were nailed.
Finally, he withdrew his gaze and even he didn’t know whether he was speaking to his subordinates or himself, “It is important to go receive the imperial edict!”
Then, he walked out quickly.
After Chen Hui returned to the room, she sat on her bed and sulked. Xiao Tiao stood aside and looked at her carefully. After a while, Chen Hui’s head that was dizzy from anger gradually calmed down. She was in a cold sweat.
“Xiao Tiao…did I scold lord just now for deserving it?” Chen Hui looked at Xiao Tiao and swallowed.
Xiao Tiao nodded and revealed a worried look.
Chen Hui lay on the bed with her head facing the roof and felt that Li Youde would come in the next moment and break her neck. She waited tremblingly in fear for a long time. Only when no one rushed in to punish her did she relax.
“Xiao Tiao, I feel bloated,” Chen Hui said annoyingly.
Xiao Tiao let out a bewildering sound.
Chen Hui sighed and thought that Li Youde had been too polite to her recently, causing her to not hold back her temper and she got angry at him. Oh my god, what was she thinking just now?! Did she dislike her life for being too long and had to make trouble and cut down her life span?
Chen Hui jumped from the bed and listened nervously to the movements outside. Should she go to Li Youde to make amends? Would it still be useful to hold the thigh this time?
Chen Hui thought for a while in fear and then heard a loud noise coming from the outside. She threw herself at the door and her hand pressed on the door. She didn’t know whether she should go out to face her gloomy life…
Just when Chen Hui was struggling, someone knocked on the door suddenly. Chen Hui shuddered in fright. She heard someone say outside of the door, “Lady Chen, lord calls you over.”
Chen Hui hesitated and opened the door. The person outside was Ah Er. She glanced in the direction of the main room and asked in a low voice, “Is…is lord angry?”
Ah Er smiled and said, “Lady Chen, don’t panic. You did a great job last night. How could lord be angry with you?!” He was one of the witnesses who saw Chen Hui boldly scold Li Youde before. At that time, he was so scared that his soul almost left his body. Afterwards, he saw that Li Youde was not angry and left on his own, he suddenly realized that it was right that he had fawned upon Lady Chen deliberately or unintentionally before and that he should be more polite in the future.
Chen Hui looked Ah Er. Although she didn’t believe him, she still smiled at him politely, “Thank you for your comfort.”
She took a deep breath and walked towards the main house like a martyr.
Li Youde was sitting at the table and when Chen Hui came in, he stared at her. Chen Hui’s gaze sank and shifted her gaze. She glanced at the injury on his arm, immediately leaned forward and said softly, “Lord, how is your injury? Did it open? Just now this Lady Chen was too worried about lord. That was why this Lady Chen didn’t hesitate to speak. Lord, don’t be angry…”
Really can’t blame her for being timid. Li Youde held her life, how would she dare to not be timid?
Originally, Li Youde hasn’t figured out how to treat Chen Hui. She actually dared to howl at him in front of so many people before. He must teach her a good lesson, otherwise, how would his prestige remain? If it had been another, he might’ve long been dead. However, when he thought about what she did last night and that she howled at him because she was afraid that his injury would burst, if he punished her because of this, it also wouldn’t be good. No one has cared so much about him. The feeling of real care from others was really amazing. It made him at loss for a moment.
What he didn’t expect was that she resolved his entanglement as soon as she came. Since she begged for forgiveness and she had been bold because she was worried about him, so, he should forgive her.
Li Youde frowned, “Weren’t you so bold before, dared to say everything and now you withered? And you still say I deserved it. Who did you think you were talking to?”
Chen Hui lowered her head and looked repentant, “Yes, it is all this Lady Chen’s fault. Lord, don’t be angry. If something happened to you because of the anger, this Lady Chen would be more sinful.”
Li Youde humphed once, “I will let it go this time. Next time, see how I will deal with you!”
“This Lady Chen absolutely wouldn’t dare to have a next time!” Chen Hui quickly said and breathed from relief in her heart. Sure enough, meeting force with force was bad. It was better to do an amenable persuasion. Look, look, didn’t it work on him?
Li Youde pondered for a moment and said, “The emperor just rewarded me for saving him last night. You handled the injury well. Tell me what reward you want.”
Only now did Chen Hui understand why he had to go out now. It turned out that the imperial edict has arrived and he had to go receive it. She took a quick glance at him and felt that the emperor was really not very kind. Li Youde blocked a stab for him. Forget it that he didn’t let the person stay in the palace for a good medical treatment, even a reward, he didn’t know to send it to Li Youde’s bed. Did he really think that Li Youde had just suffered a bite from a mosquito? Really being close to the sovereign could be as perilous as lying with a tiger. Even a eunuch with the status as Li Youde didn’t have it easy.
“Last night was what this Lady Chen ought to do. Lord doesn’t need to reward,” Chen Hui said. She said this very sincerely. Even for her own sake, she had to make effort to improve his chance of survival.
“Haha, don’t want a reward? Then what do you want?” Li Youde asked.
Chen Hui said, “This Lady Chen doesn’t want anything…Ah no, this Lady Chen will be satisfied by maintaining the status quo.”
Li Youde raised his eyes and looked at Chen Hui. She looked very pleasing to the eyes and well-behaved as if she was not the same person who scolded him before. She was indeed well-behaved lately, oh, except for the matter of Wen Jing.
“You can not want it, but I can’t not reward,” Li Youde said. “You can choose later.”
Chen Hui said, “Then, this Lady Chen will first thank lord for the reward.” Since it was given to her for nothing, why wouldn’t she take it?
Li Youde glanced at the cotton cloth on his arm. The pain was so painful that he wanted to die at this moment, but he couldn’t shout that it was painful in front of everyone. It was hard to endure. Thinking that it was Chen Hui who treated his injury last night, he asked, “What will happen to this injury from now on? What did the genius doctor you mentioned say?”
Chen Hui had long thought about this and immediately said, “Lord, this Lady Chen will help lord treat the injury later. This Lady Chen isn’t at ease letting others do it. This Lady Chen would remove the stitches after a while.”
When Li Youde first heard that Chen Hui said that she was not at ease, his heart suddenly warmed up, and then he heard her last sentence, he was taken aback, “Remove the stitches?”
Chen Hui said, “Yes, lord. When your injury is almost healed, the threads should be removed.” She paused and added, “It might be a bit…painful.”
Hearing the word pain, Li Youde also felt that his injury was throbbing with pain. He stared at Chen Hui and tried to make his tone as if it was nothing, “Pain? How much?”
Chen Hui glanced at Li Youde’s face and was also wondering how much it would hurt. After all, it wasn’t thread specially used for sewing flesh together. Would the thread become unseparated from the flesh when the wound is healing? Aiya, won’t do. The moment she thought about it, she felt that it was very painful. That was a pain of flesh tearing apart!
“This…this Lady Chen is also not quite sure. I heard from the genius doctor that it seemed to be bearable.” Chen Hui said, “Perhaps, it’s just like a poke of a needle.” Like the poking of a hundred needles…
Li Youde felt relieved after listening to Chen Hui and said with a cold face, “I just asked casually.” It was just a poke of a needle. Fortunately, fortunately.
Chen Hui said, “Yes lord.” She was also just saying that casually.
