Chapter 265 - 263. I Promise (1/2)
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?”
