Two days later, Gu Qianying woke up.
Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating her face.
Su Cheng had been guarding her side, and the moment she opened her eyes.
Su Cheng quickly leaned closer, "Qianying, you're awake? That's wonderful, you're finally awake."
During the days he had spent by her bedside, Su Cheng had been very worried about Gu Qianying.
For the several days Gu Qianying slept, Su Cheng had stayed by her side without leaving.
He neither ate nor drank, nor did he go out.
Upon seeing Su Cheng, Gu Qianying was stunned for a moment.
Where am I? What happened to me?
Gu Qianying tried to sit up, but she found that she was still completely without strength.
It was Su Cheng who helped Gu Qianying, propping her up with pillows to lean against the side of the bed.
"Qianying, you slept for two days and didn't wake up. I was very worried about you and stayed here watching over you. I'm so happy to see you awake."
"I slept for so long?"
Gu Qianying found it incredible that she could sleep for so long.
She looked at the bandaged wounds on her body, then raised her eyes to look at Su Cheng again.
At this moment, Su Cheng had already brought over the prepared plain water.
"The doctor bandaged you. The injuries on your face and body are all superficial, not serious. Qianying, you must be thirsty after sleeping for so long. Here, drink some water first, and I'll go to the kitchen to prepare some food."
At this time, Su Cheng was unshaven, and the robes he wore had been on for two days.
With no mind to tidy himself up, he looked somewhat disheveled.
Seeing Su Cheng in this state, Gu Qianying's eyes welled up.
"Su Cheng, you've worked so hard. Thank you for staying by me."
Gu Qianying knew that the person before her was her husband, Nangong Mo.
However, her memories of their past life had not yet been awakened, and at this moment, Su Cheng did not know that he was Nangong Mo.
And her husband was undergoing his reincarnation tribulation. His memories of his past life should have been sealed.
To help Su Cheng remember his past life identity, to recall all the events of his past life, and also her and their son, Xiao Yihao, would require some effort.
Some things could not be rushed.
However, being able to see Su Cheng the moment she opened her eyes was already very satisfying for her.
In Nangong Mo's past life, she had learned of his reincarnation tribulation. If she interfered with the rules, it would be very disadvantageous to her husband, Nangong Mo.
Therefore... there were some secrets she needed to keep for now, letting Su Cheng discover them slowly.
Taking the teacup from Su Cheng's hand, Gu Qianying drank the water, and her dry lips and burning throat felt much better.
Su Cheng had been prepared at all times before Gu Qianying fell unconscious. As he put down the teacup, the servant outside the door brought in the prepared meal.
It was a bowl of plain congee, a stomach-soothing congee.
After the servant placed the congee down, he left, closing the door as he went out.
Su Cheng brought the congee over and sat by the side of the bed.
He scooped a spoonful of congee with a small spoon, blew on it, and then fed it to Gu Qianying's mouth.
The plain congee was freshly made and a bit hot. By being careful, he ensured Gu Qianying would not be harmed.
As a spoonful of plain congee was extended to her, a mist of water gathered in Gu Qianying's eyes.
Su Cheng's actions were exactly the same as Nangong Mo's.
She, as his wife, had never noticed this until this very moment.
"What? Is this congee not to your liking?"
Seeing Gu Qianying on the verge of tears.
Su Cheng was startled. He thought the congee tasted bad, so he quickly comforted Gu Qianying, "It's alright, Qianying. If you don't like the taste, I'll go to the small kitchen and make it again. You... you don't cry, okay? Please don't cry, okay?"
Seeing the mist in Gu Qianying's eyes growing thicker, Su Cheng became flustered.
He had no idea what Gu Qianying was thinking.
He still thought the congee was too unpalatable.
"Su Cheng... I want to marry you."
Gu Qianying looked at Su Cheng very seriously.
Although Su Cheng's appearance was not the same as Nangong Mo's.
At this moment, she saw a shadow of Nangong Mo in Su Cheng.
"Really... really?"
Su Cheng stared blankly at Gu Qianying, his eyes filled with shock.
He never expected Gu Qianying to say something like this to him at this time.
"You... you don't want to marry me?"
Seeing Su Cheng's prolonged silence, Gu Qianying felt a little sad.
"No, no, no, I am willing, I am very willing."
Su Cheng snapped back to his senses and quickly explained.
Seeing his overwhelmed expression, Gu Qianying smiled.
At the same time, she recalled Nangong Mo's appearance and his figure in her mind.
If her husband, Nangong Mo, were present, he would surely embrace her tightly.
She pushed away all the thoughts in her mind.
Gu Qianying took the plain congee from Su Cheng's hand and finished it all.
After eating, she rested on the bed and sat cross-legged, wanting to find her spiritual power. However... after several hours, there was still no reaction in her body.
Not only was her spiritual power gone, but she couldn't even perform basic martial arts.
"Qianying, the doctor said there were no toxins in your body, meaning you weren't poisoned. But you can't use your spiritual power. This is indeed very strange."
With no spiritual power to use, Gu Qianying decided to wait. Perhaps in a few days, her spiritual power would return.
As for the reason she couldn't muster any strength in her body, even she herself needed to observe it. It was too strange.
Su Cheng, sitting beside Gu Qianying, looked at her with a sweaty forehead but an unyielding expression.
He walked over with great concern and supported Gu Qianying, "Qianying, don't be afraid. I'll transfer my martial arts to you."
Su Cheng was also a martial artist, and he understood the feeling of someone losing their martial arts.
At the same time, he felt that since Gu Qianying was a woman, having martial arts would be much better for her.
"Su Cheng, don't say that. You don't know what I'm thinking. By the way, during the two days I was unconscious, what happened to Meng Qinghua, the old Su couple? And the other members of the Su family, Su Yuxi, where is she?"
Gu Qianying clearly remembered the events before she was taken to the cellar.
Since Su Cheng could capture her and bring her to the Su family's cellar, it meant he was very familiar with the Su family.
Why would an outsider be so familiar with the Su family? There must be something strange about it.
She had always thought that Su Cheng must have colluded with someone in the Su family. So, which member of the Su family betrayed the Su family?
Or perhaps, Su Cheng was saved by Grand Tutor Su, which is why he was so familiar with the Su family.
Not only that, but what about Lu Zhu now?
She wanted to know all of this.
"The old Su couple, along with Meng Qinghua and I, went to the palace. But on the way, I felt something was not right. I always had a feeling that you were still at the Su family's residence. To be safe, I returned to the Su family to look for you. That cellar, before, people who had bullied me were also locked up there, but I got out quickly."
"After finding you in the cellar, you were on the verge of death, so I took you to an inn and found a doctor to treat you."
"But the others... they..."
