Chapter 265 - 263. I Promise

Third-person POV

It didn't take the couple long to arrive at their residence. Di Shang carefully carried Meiyun to their chamber and let her rest peacefully in the warm and comfortable bed. While he had nothing to do for the moment, he decided to pay his parents a visit.

He knocked on their door and entered the room after he heard a response from his father. Coincidentally, Physician Tu was talking with the two middle-aged couple when Di Shang came to visit them.

"Is there something wrong?" Naran asked as she didn't expect Di Shang to visit them.

"No, I want to talk about Meiyun with father and mother, actually to Physician Tu as well. What a coincidence." Di Shang sat on a seat not far from Physician Tu.

"We are discussing about Meiyun's current health too. You know… as a woman and a mother, to lose a child is a major trauma to us and with her personality, I think she would feel responsible and wants to have a child as soon as possible to compensate us which is unnecessary." Naran sighed.

Physician Tu lightly nodded his head and swept his fingers along his white beard, "This servant indeed found weird symptoms that previously wasn't found on the Young Madam when I diagnosed her before the big event. Her blood seems to act unusual which is very dangerous if this matter prolonged and become chronic."

Di Shang's face got darker as he didn't have an ounce of good feeling about this, "May I ask what is happening to her?"

Physician Tu turned to look at Di Shang and sighed, "This servant deeply apologize to General Di because this servant is also at a loss. The only thing that this servant can confirm is Young Madam's body will probably have a hard time to heal if its bleed. So please avoid any hard labor on Young Madam as the bleeding not only can occur on the outside but also on the inside which is more fatal."

"Her illness is so severe?!" Di Shang exclaimed as he couldn't believe what he heard.

"Young Madam is healthy for now, we don't know when the illness will suddenly acute. Refrain the Young Madam from having any stress or overthinking, it can cause her to damage her frail blood vessels. Her blood vessels are more fragile than normal people have because of her blood unusual behavior. She won't feel any pain which is more worrying because we can't know if she is having any internal bleeding or not." Physician Tu explained.

"Is there any solution, Physician Tu?" Di Shang inquired with an expression full of anxiousness.

"This servant has asked for help to the other amazing physicians such as Shu family and we are currently finding the cure for this unidentified illness. For now we can only provide Young Madam with daily Qi supply to boost her immune system." Physician Tu suggested.

Di Yu looked at his son and sighed in pity, "Shang Tang, it probably would be better if Meiyun doesn't get pregnant for a few years so she can focus on recovering."

"I agree. But it will be quite difficult with Meiyun's personality." Naran said worriedly.

"I will do my best to help her recover.  And Physician Tu, I beg you one thing…" Di Shang bowed his head to Physician Tu.

Physician Tu was immediately fl.u.s.tered when Di Shang lowered his head to him which was inappropriate considering Di Shang had a status way higher compared to Physician Tu. He shot up from his seat and bent his body lower than Di Shang.

"…please don't tell her about this or else she would start to overthink that she is burdening us with her illness and do something stupid like distancing herself from us." Di Shang predicted.

Physician Tu couldn't help but soundlessly agree with Di Shang's statement regarding Meiyun's way of thinking. However, Physician Tu was worried because he had told Meiyun that she had an illness.

"Th-this servant will do his best." Physician Tu stuttered.

"Want some sweets?" Di Shang offered Meiyun a cloud-shaped candy.

"En. This medicine is too bitter that I think I can't feel my tongue anymore. Bleh~" Meiyun snatched the candy from Di Shang's hand and threw it inside her mouth without thinking any further.

Di Shang personally watched Meiyun drink her medicine to ensure that she didn't sneakily throw away the medicine if it was a maid who was watching over her. He took the bowl from Meiyun's hand and walked away.

"I will be back." Di Shang said before he stepped out of the room.

Meiyun's playful smile instantly vanished as soon as Di Shang was out of her sight. She rose from her bed and mended her way to the exit. Meiyun peeked outside and saw that there were two guards standing on guard outside the door.

"Psst psst!" Meiyun whispered.

The guards immediately sprinted to Meiyun and bowed, "Is there anything we can do for you, Young Madam?"

"Can you please call Physician Tu to come here for a second? I need to talk to Physician Tu." Meiyun whispered and looked around for any sign of Di Shang.

Hearing that Meiyun need to see Physician Tu, the guards' face paled as one of them was going to dash like wind to fetch Physician Tu when Meiyun quickly stopped them.

"I am not hurt, I only want to talk to him." Meiyun smiled sheepishly.

The guards sighed in relief to find that Meiyun was feeling fine. One of them went to get Physician Tu while the other one stayed to guard Meiyun. Meiyun gave the guard a brief glance and exhaled.

"Don't tell my husband about this matter. If he ask you or threaten you to tell him, report to me. I got your back." Meiyun gave him a thumb up.

A few minutes later, Physician Tu arrived at Meiyun's chamber and sat down across her.

"Cut to the chase, what illness am I suffering of?" Meiyun didn't beat around the bush and asked Physician Tu without any hesitation.

"This- This servant can't tell Young Madam…" Physician Tu was caught off guard.

"Why? Is it because my husband told you to keep this out from me?" Meiyun's voice was tranquil but it came out different in Physician Tu's ears.

Physician Tu stayed silent as he didn't know how to reply to Meiyun. He was stuck between the two overwhelming couple.

"This is my body and I have the obligation to know what is happening to my own body. I will act like I don't know anything so Physician Tu doesn't need to fear my husband. If he dares to do anything to you, I will take full responsibility." Meiyun emphasized.

Physician Tu felt what Meiyun said was correct. If she knew her body condition then she would be more cautious of what she eat, drink and body activity to maintain her health. Physician Tu sighed for the hundredth time and parted his lips.

"Young Madam, you only have…."

Di Shang walked into his chamber with a plate of fruit in his hand and a magnificent view made his body stopped moving. Meiyun was sitting beside the window, staring blankly at the small tree that she planted as soon as she moved into this residence. Her silky jet black hair flowed over her smooth shoulders as the wind softly brushed her pinkish cheeks.

Di Shang placed down the plate of fruit on the table and walked towards Meiyun with light steps. He took his coat and dr.a.p.ed it over Meiyun's shivering shoulders.

"The weather is still cold, wear more layers." Di Shang said genuinely worried about Meiyun's health.

Meiyun smiled gently and pulled Di Shang's hand that was holding the coat, "Beautiful…"

Di Shang's face softened and seat himself beside Meiyun, "Do you want to eat fruit? I will feed you."

"En, let's eat it together." Meiyun uttered with a soft loving voice.

Di Shang was quite taken aback by Meiyun's lovely behavior that she usually would not show because she thought that it was too embarrassing. He picked a slice of apple with a chopstick and positioned it in front of Meiyun's lips.

Meiyun happily munched on the apple while staring at Di Shang with her dark brown eyes. Di Shang chuckled and gave Meiyun another slice of apple.

"Why are staring at me so much?" Di Shang inquired amusedly.

Meiyun stayed silent for a few seconds before she broke into a huge grin, "Because I want to enjoy every moment with you."

Di Shang lightly knocked Meiyun's forehead with his knuckle, "So cheesy but I love that part of you."

"Ehehehe~ Then you have to stay beside me forever!" Meiyun giggled and stuck out her pinkie.

"I promise I will never leave you." Di Shang locked his pinkie with hers and leaned his forehead on her forehead.
