I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

Husband ~

Since they had decided to enter the refugee camp, some preparations were definitely necessary.

For example, the method they used to hide their looks had to be changed. At the very least, they couldn’t just use ingredients that could easily expose themselves.

This wasn’t a problem for Lin Suisui. She had made preparations early on and asked the butcher for some skin when she weighed the meat. When she came back, she could make a simple but not easily exposed human skin mask.

When Lin Suisui was fiddling with these things, she didn’t forget about Lu Ze’s body.

The herbs she brewed could temporarily alleviate the effects of the poison on Lu Ze’s body, but if to completely detox him, she had to wait until they were completely out of danger before thinking of a way.

Initially, Lin Suisui thought that Lu Ze would reject the medicine she brewed. Unexpectedly, Lu Ze didn’t say anything. He took her medicine bowl and drank it clean.

Just as Lin Suisui had worried about, the officials came looking for them at dusk.

The lit torches surrounded the alley outside the courtyard.

The bailiff’s scolding quickly spread to the courtyard door where they lived.

Although everything had been prepared, Lin Suisui, who looked like an ordinary woman, was still a little nervous when she really went to open the courtyard door.

“Why did it take you so long to open the door?!”

An official rushed in with a fierce expression and glared at the obedient Lin Suisui with dissatisfaction.

The little girl in the golden silk dress cowered back and replied in a low voice, “Sir, I was brewing medicine for my husband at the back when I heard it.”

The official glanced at Lin Suisui and clicked his tongue before turning to walk into the courtyard. “Who else is living in your house?!”

Lin Suisui watched as the official began to check the courtyard and didn’t dare to say anything. She only continued carefully, “Only my husband and I live here.”

Seeing that the official was about to enter, Lin Suisui quickly caught up and begged in a low voice, “Sir, Sir, my husband has been sick for a few days. He just drank the medicine and lay down. Sir, you…”

The official ignored Lin Suisui’s pleas and rudely lifted the curtain and rushed into the room.

The room was very dark, but the strong smell of medicine couldn’t fool anyone.

The officer took two steps forward, picked up the candlestick from the table, and walked to the bed. He glanced at the sallow-faced man lying on the bed. It was obvious that he had been sick for a long time. He glanced at him in disgust before looking away. He put the candlestick back on the table and continued to circle the room. When he saw that nothing was wrong, he walked out again.

A group of officials rushed in and searched the inner and outer rooms again before leaving aggressively.

Although she had successfully sent those officials away this time, Lin Suisui didn’t dare to relax. When it was completely quiet outside, she tidied up the house that had been rummaged through and went to the kitchen to dig out the small package she had hidden inside.

What was in this package now was all she had.

There was the gold jewelry from the wedding, and the pouch with silver notes that the Fourth Prince had given her at the Li Palace. An ordinary family would probably be able to live comfortably for more than ten years with these things!

While she checked these, an old-looking pouch attracted Lin Suisui’s attention.

This should be the Host’s own thing.

She opened it and saw nothing but a round, exquisitely carved jade bead. There was a hole in the middle. She passed a red string through it. It looked like old jewelry that had hung on the Host’s body.

It could serve as a relic.

Lin Suisui didn’t think too much about it and continued to hang the bead around her neck.

Then, she raised the idea of leaving at night to Lu Ze. “Although those officials came today, there’s no guarantee that those people won’t make a comeback tomorrow.”

Why don’t we leave tonight?”

Lu Ze had no objections to Lin Suisui’s suggestion. He nodded straightforwardly and sat up on the bed to prepare to leave.

Simple masks for disguising their appearances had been made. Just in case, Lin Suisui had even made an additional one. Their other clothes were simply packed and wrapped in a small bag. The two of them locked the courtyard door and sneaked towards the shanty town where the refugees were gathered.

Although they were mentally prepared, the dirty and messy environment here was still beyond their expectations.

She really didn’t expect such a dilapidated place to exist in the capital.

Lin Suisui helped Lu Ze land and found a place with fewer people to rest.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of other places in the capital, this refugee gathering place seemed a little quiet and lifeless.

If she wanted to hide herself, the most effective way was to completely integrate into the refugees. Lin Suisui took the initiative to take on this mission.

In just two days, the refugees living nearby had a certain understanding of her and Lu Ze, who had been sitting in the corner and didn’t speak much.

Their family members were dead, leaving only the newlyweds.

The man was sick, so the burden was on this woman alone.

At this moment, Lin Suisui even followed a neighbor, Mrs. Song, to do some laundry work. She earned a few copper coins and handed them to Lu Ze.

“Husband, keep it well. If we save a little more, we’ll have enough money to hire a doctor for you.” Lin Suisui’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was enough for the people beside her to hear.

This woman was timid and weak, but cared for her husband.

Lu Ze met the little girl’s blinking eyes and was silent for a moment. He knew that she was acting, but he still couldn’t help but get carried away.

He reached out and wrapped the little girl’s hand in his palm instead of taking the copper coins.

“Don’t go tomorrow.” The man’s voice was as cold as ever, but there was a hint of gentleness and love. “I’m already much better. We don’t have to spend money to treat my illness. It’s been hard on you recently.”

“As long as you can get well, I’m willing to do anything.” Lin Suisui didn’t expect Lu Ze to really lower himself to accompany her in this act.

More importantly, he was even more immersed in it than she was!

If not for her fast reaction, she would have broken character!
