Chapter 622: Chapter 628: The Grand Finale

“`

The Marquis of Zhen Guo’s injury had always been diagnosed by the imperial doctors in the palace, and they were all aware of Han Yu’s leg condition. Unexpectedly, the situation turned out to be so serious, and his old injuries had not healed properly either. During such a time, one small mistake could lead to all his conditions flaring up at once, and if not fatal, it could still leave him bedridden for an extended period.

Han Yu’s injuries were something that the imperial doctors were unable to fully treat from the start, let alone now, when the situation had become even more severe. After discussing amongst themselves for half a day, the doctors could only come up with a relatively safe method. Such an illness couldn’t be cured in just a few days anyway; all he could do was rest quietly. The doctors then left with a prescription and went back to the palace to report.

The Emperor paid special attention to the situation at the Marquis of Zhen Guo’s Mansion. As soon as Han Yu relapsed and summoned the imperial doctors, the Emperor was immediately informed and waited in the palace for the diagnosis result.

“Is the condition of the Duke Zhen Guo really so serious that he can’t even leave his bed?” Liu Xiu seemed somewhat anxious as he asked, but his expression contained a hint of inscrutability.

The imperial doctor reported the diagnosis results to the Emperor with extreme caution, his forehead dripping with sweat. It was difficult to predict the Emperor’s mood, and his thoughts were not something they could guess.

Seeing that Han Yu’s condition was indeed severe, Liu Xiu seemed to relax slightly. Genuine worry appeared on his face, and since the imperial doctors said so, it must be true. With so many imperial doctors visiting, and the lead doctor being his confidant, it was impossible for them to falsify anything. Thinking of the causes of Han Yu’s pain, Liu Xiu felt even more guilty and emotional. He repeatedly instructed the imperial doctors to treat Han Yu well, then dismissed them, sitting alone in the imperial study room, lost in thought.

This time, when Han Yu submitted his resignation letter, it was exceptionally smooth in getting approved. It was immediately granted, and soon after, the palace sent over many gifts as a token of concern for Han Yu’s injury, urging him to recuperate properly. Mr. and Mrs. Han respectfully accepted the rewards, and closed the door to live their own small lives.

Half a year later

“Husband, you had promised to take me to XX to see the scenery. I think the weather is just right now, clear and crisp. Shouldn’t we be setting out?” Su Wenyue had been looking forward to venturing outside these days. Initially, because of Han Yu’s leg condition and the excuse given before the Emperor that it was an old affliction re-emerging, it naturally didn’t look good to head out immediately for pleasure trips, wouldn’t that reveal their lie? After finally waiting for so long, she couldn’t wait any longer and begged Han Yu to go.

Han Yu, having spent such a joyful time glued to his wife, knew she had been stifled these days. And now, having both the money and leisure, saw no reason to refuse. He agreed readily, “Alright, as you wish. I’ll take care of affairs at the Mansion in these next two days, and the day after, we’ll set off.”

“Husband, you’re the best!” Receiving Han Yu’s definite reply, Su Wenyue was so thrilled she almost jumped with joy. She quickly had someone send word to Brother Xing and his two sisters to prepare the travel gifts, anticipating any emergencies that might occur on the road, as it’s always good to be prepared for everything.

Unfortunately, despite all the calculations, Su Wenyue had not anticipated that shortly after leaving the city gate, she would begin to feel unwell. She’d never been car-sick before, not even when following Han Yu into tough conditions during his military campaigns, adapting quite well. But this time, in the comfortably prepared large horse carriage, she felt very uncomfortable, a constant sense of chest tightness and nausea.

At first, Su Wenyue kept her discomfort to herself, fearing Han Yu would change his mind. She had been eagerly awaiting this trip and simply bore the discomfort, hoping to adapt eventually. However, the situation worsened, and soon after passing the city gate, she couldn’t help but vomit in the carriage.

This greatly alarmed Han Yu and Brother Xing, along with his three siblings, who then cared little for the trip anymore.
