As the Imperial Physician had said, ever since Su Luo's last "feigned death," Wei Shu had neglected his own body.
His constitution had been weak since childhood. After marrying Su Luo and removing most of the Poisonous Insects, his health had greatly improved. Yet, the deficiency from years past needed to be slowly nourished back to health.
However, after only a year of care, Su Luo was gone.
His world had collapsed.
His mind was consumed by thoughts of revenge, and he had no care for his own physical well-being.
Despite repeated persuasion by those below him, he did not heed their advice, but shockingly, no major issues had surfaced.
The absence of issues did not mean there were none.
It was merely that the problems were being temporarily suppressed, not having erupted yet.
With this occurrence of knife wounds and smallpox, all of the previous deficits manifested themselves, frantically gnawing away at his ailing body from every corner.
