Returning after a three-year escape from death, the tyrant has turned evil.

Chapter 202 Locked Up

Jiang Lanye reluctantly let go of her and gestured for her to sit next to him.

"Your Majesty, I have heard about Your Majesty's poor health. Now, I beg Your Majesty to allow me to take your pulse."

For some reason, just hearing the unhurried voice of the imperial physician made Song Yi feel inexplicably at ease.

He took Jiang Lanye's pulse for a long time, with great care. Jiang Lanye's expression remained unchanged throughout, as if he didn't care about his physical condition at all. Song Yi, on the other hand, had a solemn expression.

After a long pause, he said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty suffers from liver qi stagnation and heart meridian obstruction, resulting in a tight and hesitant pulse. Forgive my boldness, but was Your Majesty injured during the campaign?"

Jiang Lanye directly exposed the wounds on his waist and abdomen.

The imperial physician frowned upon examining the body and said, "This is it. His Majesty is not only restless, but also deficient in qi and blood, and his vital essence is depleted. It has been a long time since the depletion of his vital essence, so it is not so easy to replenish it. If we rashly use highly nourishing substances, His Majesty's heart fire will become excessive, which will easily aggravate his depression and irritability."

Hearing the imperial physician's words, Song Yi became even more worried. Seeing that the imperial physician still had something to say, she could only patiently listen to him continue.

"Furthermore, Your Majesty's pulse has been somewhat irregular from time to time. Besides the injury to your waist and abdomen, does Your Majesty have any other injuries?"

Song Yi immediately said, "As expected of the imperial physician, your medical skills are superb. His Majesty is suspected of being poisoned by Gu. I wonder if the imperial physician can make a diagnosis?"

He glanced at the wound on Jiang Lanye's arm, his expression remaining relatively normal.

"It is indeed a Gu poison, but it is not as potent as Your Majesty imagines. When it enters His Majesty's body, it disturbs His Majesty's mind more. To put it simply, His Majesty's emotions are easily amplified, and many thoughts will be unconsciously led astray, making it more difficult to control one's emotions, thoughts, and behaviors."

Recalling that scene, Song Yi glanced at Jiang Lanye and asked with concern:

"Is there no way to detoxify?"

The imperial physician said helplessly, "Your Majesty's most urgent task now is to regulate your Qi and blood. This Gu poison is not a major problem. We can study it carefully after your body has recovered."

Song Yi nodded repeatedly: "That's good."

The imperial physician gave her a deep look, then suddenly said, "Your Highness, I have something else to say to you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lanye immediately frowned and refused to allow Song Yi to leave him.

Song Yi glared at him: "Listen to me, I'll be back soon. This is a matter concerning your health, so we can't be careless."

After saying that, she ignored Jiang Lanye's gaze and walked to the side with the imperial physician.

"Your Majesty, in the days to come, I'm afraid you'll have to trouble yourself because this Gu poison isn't very potent, but His Majesty will likely be disturbed by it, making it difficult for him to control his desires, including coughs and in that area."

Song Yi: "."

"However, given Your Majesty's current physical condition, sexual intercourse is not advisable."

The imperial physician said helplessly, "Your Majesty, His Majesty will not listen to us on many matters. Only Your Majesty's words may have any effect. In addition, the night is when the body is at its weakest and is prone to nightmares. It is also easier for Your Majesty to understand what I mean."

Song Yi nodded and said, "I understand."

However, this did present her with a difficult problem.

When Jiang Lanye insisted on doing something silly, she couldn't stop him.

When Song Yi returned, Jiang Lanye stared intently at her.

Several imperial physicians took Jiang Lanye's pulse again, and their conclusions were almost identical.

They went to discuss how to treat Jiang Lanye's body. After all, he had more than one problem. Multiple causes were mixed together, which was really troublesome. They couldn't use too strong a medicine, as recovery would be slow and gradual. They could only take it one step at a time.

The imperial physician actually had more to say, but he didn't want His Majesty to worry.

If it cannot be recovered, its lifespan may be limited.
After they agreed, Jiang Lanye needed to take medicine six times a day: three times a decoction, in the morning, noon and evening; and three times a pill, between the two decoctions. In addition, he needed to have acupuncture once a day before going to sleep.

Aside from these treatments, the food I eat on a daily basis can only be prepared according to the regulations of the Imperial Hospital. We will need to communicate carefully with the Imperial Kitchen later, mainly to prepare more foods that nourish qi and blood.

In addition, Jiang Lanye cannot overwork himself or become engrossed in politics; he must take good care of himself.

After hearing all this, Song Yi was completely bewildered, but Jiang Lanye's expression remained unusually calm, as if he wasn't the one who would be taking medicine six times a day. After the imperial physician left, Song Yi couldn't help but comfort him, "It's alright, we'll take it slowly, I'll stay with you."

Jiang Lanye saw the concern in her eyes and suddenly smiled: "I won't be sad that you care about me so much, as long as you stay by my side."

"Song Yi, grant me one request, okay?"

Seeing the strange light flickering in his eyes, Song Yi hesitated, "What?"

He held Song Yi in his arms and said in a hoarse voice, "Will you agree to my request first?"

Jiang Lanye's voice was hoarse and sounded inexplicably pitiful. Song Yi thought for a moment and finally softened, saying, "Okay, I promise you."

A smile played on his lips.

"click"

A crisp sound sounded.

Song Yi looked down in disbelief.

These are a pair of gold rings with a delicate little lock in the center.

Her two ankles were tethered together.

Song Yi's lips trembled: "What...what are you doing?"

Jiang Lanye kissed her lips with some satisfaction and explained softly, "I've wanted to do this for a long time, so I ordered people to prepare it early on. The reason I didn't bring it out was because I was afraid it would scare you."

"Won't this scare me now?"

"You are too beautiful. I want to hide you away so that no one can see you, okay?"

Song Yi was almost in tears. "Jiang Lanye, you can't do this."

"Isn't this good? From now on, wherever you want to go, I'll have to carry you there."

"You just said you'd listen to me!"

"I'll leave the matter of recuperating to you."

Song Yi tried to persuade him for an entire afternoon, but she still couldn't convince him.

It's not tight; there's actually still room to move. It's just that before, you could take a full step while walking normally, but now you can only take half a step.

Dinner was brought in, all of which were the dishes the imperial physician had instructed on. Jiang Lanye glanced at them, looked at Song Yi, and smiled, "Let's go, let's eat."

Immediately afterwards, he carried Song Yi to his arms.

"Jiang Lanye, what should I do if I want to take a bath?"

"I will go with you."

Song Yi was completely convinced.

She sat there, looking perfectly normal, but her slender ankles were firmly bound by gold rings.

She felt that Jiang Lanye seemed to have changed, which must be due to the Gu poison.

Thinking of this, she was so angry that her teeth itched, and she couldn't help but bite her lip.

Jiang Lanye saw this and immediately reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to open her mouth.

"No biting allowed."
