Chapter 163: Fever?
"I am glad your fever broke." The Imperial Doctor said to Si Ning.
Si Ning narrowed his eyes, he doesn’t know why Ah Dai and Yang Sheng were making a fuss when he just woke up from a nightmare yet Xiao Pei had to call the Imperial Doctor to check on him.
And what was the fever he was talking about?
Looking at the Imperial Doctor, Si Ning never thought he would be much younger than he thought, he had been expecting to see an old man who had a long white beard and mustache but Si Ning could bet Song Ouyang was much older than the man sitting in front of him.
Si Ning only watched as the Imperial Doctor took his hand to his pulse after placing a white handkerchief on his wrist and this made Si Ning rember Song Feng but it seed like it was true that Song Feng would never be his Doctor again.
When the Imperial Doctor ca in, soon after Xiao Pei left, he gave so instructions to Ah Dai and since then Ah Dai had gone out leaving only Yang Sheng and the Imperial Doctor with Si Ning. If Si Ning says he was comfortable then he would be lying because it was his first ti seeing the Imperial Doctor but the way the Imperial Doctor carried himself made Si Ning be a little bit at ease because he wasn’t flashing so acupuncture needles like when Si Ning first t the Doctor Song Feng.
From what Si Ning could rember after his struggles in the court eting and he finally got to his room in the Jasmine palace, all he could think of at that ti was to go to bed and that must have been what he did because he could only rember carrying his feet which were heavy and heading straight to his room so he must have slept off then when he woke up, he was a bit tired but he felt well-rested but was still shaken up by his nightmare which prevented him from not stopping Xiao Pei when he announced he was going to send for the Imperial Doctor which leaves Si Ning no choice than to comply to the Imperial Doctor checking him because if he sends him back when he arrived then the Imperial Doctor might go to report to Xiu Zhicheng that the King Consort didn’t allow him to do his work after his personal guard Xiao Pei sent for him and that was one situation Si Ning would want to avoid.
Xiu Zhicheng?
Sothing was missing but Si Ning doesn’t know what but he doesn’t know why he even thought of the Imperial Doctor reporting to Xiu Zhicheng when Xiu Zhicheng seed to be so busy and doesn’t have the luxury to visit him nor did he bother to even send for his Empress to be to accompany him even if it was just for them to have tea or stroll for a while.
"General Si Ning make sure you take this pill in the morning and night after you eat." The Imperial Doctor told him as Yang Sheng collected the bottle of pills from him.
"Let
see." Si Ning said, his eyes not leaving the bottle of pills once, he was sure he would be able to see any slight or shift in Yang Sheng’s movent. He had been in the palace for three nights and Xiao Pei didn’t alert him of any suspicious movent in his palace but that doesn’t an he shouldn’t be careful, he doesn’t trust Yang Sheng yet so he couldn’t trust him with sothing he was going to take.
After staring at the bottle of pills, Si Ning only blinked after Yang Sheng transferred the bottle to him. After turning the bottle in his hands to see the dark round pills which reminded him of Song Feng pills. Song Feng learned his dicinal practice from the Imperial Doctor so Si Ning couldn’t help but think it might be the sa type of pills which only one would knock him out. He placed it at the back of his mind never to take it.
"General Si Ning you should take so terrapin soup and also light porridge is accepted." The Imperial Doctor told him as he packed up his case. "Now I will take my leave, General Si Ning. I have to go and report to his Majesty."
Eh?
"Wait you don’t have to report to his Majesty." Si Ning said briskly. He was a bit shocked that he wasn’t talking slowly which was good and before the Imperial Doctor ca, Yang Sheng wiped his body, Ah Dai changed his cloth and also gently brushed his hair which ans he was looking neat and wasn’t sweaty anymore but he doesn’t think his face was right because last ti he checked he had dark circles under his eyes so he doesn’t think Xiu Zhicheng would need information about him being unwell.
If Xiu Zhicheng gets the information about the Imperial Doctor seeing him and if he wasn’t looking at his best then Si Ning was going to regret it forever because appearance was sothing that mattered to him and worst that could happen was Xiu Zhicheng disregarding him and not co to see him then he was going to die of sha if anyone finds out and spread it and he was also going to feel unimportant to Xiu Zhicheng and to the palace.
The Imperial Doctor seed confused. "But I will have to make the report because His Majesty was so worried about General Si Ning that His Majesty had to stay here in your palace throughout the night."
Si Ning’s mouth fell. "Eh?"
The Imperial Doctor bowed and said. "If you will excuse , General Si Ning, I will be taking my leave and co back tomorrow to check on you." He left the room swiftly with Yang Sheng.
Si Ning was dumbfounded, it was still unbelievable that Xiu Zhicheng ca to see him, he turned to Ah Dai who ca in with porridge in a small white ceramic bowl, "Ah Dai His Majesty ca?" He asked as soon as Ah Dai placed the bowl on the table.
"Yes Young Master, His Majesty stayed for one night to care for you when Young Master had a fever." Ah Dai explained.
It was shocking to Si Ning that Xiu Zhicheng ca to not only see him but stayed with him all night, thinking about it, it wasn’t the first ti Xiu Zhicheng would act like that, Si Ning could still rember Xiu Zhicheng slipping into his bed when he wasn’t feeling well a few tis and he doesn’t know if he should be happy that the Emperor finally ca to see his Consort or to be sad he wasn’t well enough to see him but sothing was still confusing him when Ah Dai said he was cared for throughout the night but from what he could see it was still night.
"How long was I asleep?" Si Ning asked.
"All through yesterday afternoon, evening, night, this morning, afternoon, evening, and Young Master just woke up now at night." Ah Dai said. "His Majesty ca yesterday night when His Majesty heard that Young Master had a fever and won’t open his eyes and his Majesty left this morning." He quickly fell on his knees. "Forgive
Young Master because I was careless..."
Si Ning couldn’t comprehend what Ah Dai was saying as his eyes widened almost popping out of its sockets.
Ehn.....!!!
