Sure enough, as Shi Ye said, on the third day, I wish Scarlett would wake up.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a completely unfamiliar scene in front of me. It was different from the prosperity of Qin Feng's buildings, and it didn't look like the residence of an ordinary family. The various arrangements from the bed to the window sill seemed more like the specifications of a palace.
They arrived at Langya safely.
I wish Scarlett was very confident.
She slept for a long time, but she didn't have any nightmares, as if she had been trapped in darkness for thousands of years.
There was no black and white impermanence to guide her to the underworld, and there were no painful memory fragments from her previous life, so she could barely be considered pure.
Occasionally she could still hear voices from the outside world, but she couldn't open her eyes to respond to them even though she tried her best.
But she knew that since she fell ill, the people around her were taking care of her all the time.
Especially Yan Xiu.
But now she was lying on the bed, turning her eyes and looking around, but she didn't see Yan Xiu, and she didn't know where he had gone.
Zhu Siying and Shi Ye took the medicine and entered the dormitory one after another. Seeing Zhu Sijia looking confused and looking left and right, Zhu Siying immediately ran up crying and hugged Zhu Sijia:
"Sister! You really woke up!"
Zhu Sijia thought that as soon as she spoke, her voice would be as dry and hoarse as a person who has been walking in the desert for a month. Unexpectedly, except for a little hoarseness and weakness, it would still be the same as before.
Perhaps this is also due to Yan Xiu.
She rubbed Zhu Siying's head and said, "Good sister, have you had a hard time these days?"
Zhu Siying was much slimmer than before she left Xijing. She must have worked hard during the time she was unconscious.
Zhu Siying: "If we don't work hard, how can we not have the hard work of His Majesty?"
Zhu Sijia asked again: "What day is today?"
Zhu Siying: "It's May 13th, and summer is about to begin."
It was May 13th. Unexpectedly, from the day she was poisoned to today, she had been sleeping for nearly twenty days.
But this number of days was much shorter than she imagined.
Her current memory is stuck at the last moment of the poisoning. At that time, her internal organs seemed to be twisted and curled up in pain. Yan Xiu was so frightened by her that he could not speak coherently, and he did not look like an emperor at all.
This was more painful than the time she died in her previous life. She originally thought she would die.
Unexpectedly, she saved a life from the Palace of Hell this time. Even if she slept like this for ten years, she would be content.
Shi Ye cooled off the medicine and stepped forward to salute: "The daughter of the people has seen the empress."
Zhu Sijia looked up at her, nodded slightly, and asked doubtfully: "Who is this?"
Zhu Siying carefully introduced Shi Ye's origins to her.
"It turns out that the miracle doctor of Xijing in the past was you." Zhu Sijia was about to get up, but found that she was slumped on the bed unable to move no matter what, and could not even notice the existence of her limbs. "Doctor Shi, don't blame me, my body is really weak and I can't do it myself." Thank you and salute you.”
Shi Ye handed the medicine to Zhu Siying, sat down by the bed, stretched out his hand to feel her pulse, and slowly explained:
"Your Majesty, you have been injured and have been lying down for too long this time. Coupled with the influence of the poison, your limbs have temporarily lost their vitality. It is normal for you to be unable to move your muscles and bones."
"When the civilian girl has completely forced the remaining poison out of your body, and you slowly adapt to the activities, you will be back to your original state within half a year."
Zhu Siying asked in surprise: "Half a year? Will sister be paralyzed on the bed for so long?"
Zhu Sijia, however, was quite calm about this matter: "Half a year is already considered a blessing to me. How many people have gone through a serious illness and are unable to walk for the rest of their lives. To me, half a year is nothing."
In her previous life, she also had broken legs. In the environment like Prince Yi's Mansion, she endured it tenaciously. In this life, she has delicious food and drinks to serve her, and so many relatives and friends to take care of her. Why worry that she will not die soon? Recovery?
Shi Ye said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are quite open-minded."
After serving and wishing Scarlett to drink the medicine, Shi Ye left first, leaving the two sisters to have a heart-to-heart talk.
Zhu Sijia wanted to sit up, but Zhu Siying was thin and it took a lot of effort to help her sit on the bed.
A simple movement made her sweat a lot. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said casually: "If His Majesty were here, he would definitely be a hundred times stronger than me."
Zhu Sijia: "Where is your Majesty? I thought he would live in the same palace as me."
After sitting upright, she discovered that there was another narrow couch at the end of the bed. Based on the noises she heard in her sleep, it was obvious that Yan Xiu had slept on that small couch.
Yan Xiu had told him not to tell anyone about his troubles. He was even more worried that when Zhu Sijia woke up, she would see him listless and drinking medicine to get by. In case it affected her mood, he had moved out of Beichen Palace in advance the day before yesterday and moved into Another palace.
Zhu Siying pretended to be relaxed and lied to her: "His Majesty said that he was afraid that you would affect your recovery after you woke up, so he took the initiative to move out. Don't worry, he will come to see you after he has finished handling the political affairs at hand."
After the people of Qin came to Qi to govern, there were indeed many things in Qi that had to be reviewed by Yan Xiu.
Zhu Sijia didn't doubt it. She didn't even have the strength to raise her hand now, so she asked Zhu Siying to hold the book and read to her for a while. Seeing that Zhu Siying was yawning profusely and her eyes were bloodshot, she sent her back to rest first.
…
During lunch, Zhu Sijia thought that Yan Xiu would not come.
She was still looking forward to who would serve her dinner today. As soon as the palace door opened, the layers of bead curtains were knocked open with a crisp sound, which was very pleasant.
Familiar footsteps and breaths approached step by step, and Yan Xiu walked in with familiar faces such as Xiner and others without haste.
He moved a small table and placed it at the head of the bed, pointed at it and said, "Put the meal on it, and you all should step aside."
Xin'er still wanted to say a few words to Zhu Sijia, but with Yan Xiu here, it was not their turn to interfere in such a small matter as feeding Zhu Sijia, so they did as they were told.
As soon as the palace door closed, Yan Xiucai took Zhu Sijia's hand and gently massaged her: "Cicada, good Cicada, you finally got through it, I will never let you suffer any more in the future."
After his rubbing, Zhu Scarlett's hand felt much better. Now all she could move was her mouth. She could only reply with a smile:
"Xuanzhi, since you and I met, you have never made me feel even a little bit wronged or even a little bit miserable. It's my fault this time. It's me who has dragged you down and made you worry."
Zhu Sijia took a closer look at him and saw that he was much thinner.
His body seemed to be constantly getting stronger and thinner over and over again, but never once did he lose weight so much as he did now. The darkness under his eyes made his entire face even more sinister and fierce.
On the contrary, the color of his lips was bright red, which fortunately did not hurt his blood.
Zhu Sijia frowned: "You have lost a lot of weight, have you lost all the fat?"
Yan Xiu pulled the small table closer: "Don't worry, it won't be so skinny. Let's not talk about it for now. Eat well. You haven't eaten anything good in this time."
There was no need for him to do such a small thing, but no one could persuade him to do what he wanted to do. Zhu Scarlett did not stop him and said with a sweet smile: "Okay."
After finishing the meal, Yan Xiu rubbed her hands and legs again. He was so attentive that she felt tired just sitting on the bed and looking at him.
His concentrated look is the most charming. With such a face, why worry about getting well soon?
Zhu Sijia swallowed her saliva and couldn't help but said: "Xuanzhi, please kiss my hand."
