When Zheng Nianru ca to again, she had almost forgotten what had happened at that mont. The Imperial Physician stood by respectfully, while Zheng Congyuan was earnestly inquiring about sothing.
"The oppressive energy within Her Highness has gathered more and more, and it has beco quite severe, affecting Her Highness’s mind..." Only the slow voice of the Imperial Physician reached Zheng Nianru’s ears—before he could finish, she had already turned her head away.
This turn of the head imdiately brought Zheng Congyuan rushing over.
"You’re awake?" Zheng Congyuan’s voice ca warmly, and Zheng Nianru felt her hand being held by soone.
In a blur, Zheng Nianru began to rember so things, but all of them were unpleasant: Zheng Congyuan’s strange silhouette, the fear of a wicked demon opening its mouth to swallow her, and the darkness—all-encompassing darkness like falling into a bottomless cave. She was dazed, utterly bewildered.
"Nian Ru, don’t be anxious, everything is alright. You’re tired, so rest if you want to rest." Just then, she heard Zheng Congyuan’s voice again, warm like the sun, dispersing the darkness; Zheng Nianru’s heart slowly cald, and she was then overco by a strong wave of drowsiness.
"Sleep—" Zheng Congyuan said gently, patting her, until Zheng Nianru’s breathing beca stable and she fell into a deep sleep. Only then did Zheng Congyuan stand up, with the Imperial Physician still waiting by his side.
Everything that had happened today seed almost incredible in Zheng Congyuan’s eyes.
Zheng Congyuan felt as if he had experienced life and death once more, and this ti, he had been completely unaware. When he regained consciousness, he only saw the shocking wound on Zheng Nianru.
He hadn’t forgotten what had happened before he passed out, so the fear he felt upon waking was no less than during the Wen Family’s rebellion.
However, fate had once again sided with him, and amidst these circumstances, there ca a turn of events.
According to Qi Jin and Qi Yu’s report, as Zheng Nianru was about to do sothing foolish, suddenly a group of people sprang out and instantly took control of the situation.
And it seed these people were Nian Ru’s n.
Zheng Congyuan couldn’t begin to guess where these people had co from, or when they had infiltrated the palace. It seed Qi Jin and Qi Yu had long before noticed these very strange individuals, not only infiltrating the palace but also eluding capture on multiple occasions.
However, from the current situation, these people behaved as if they did not know Zheng Nianru at all, acting timid and hesitant, now rely waiting outside in the outer hall for Nian Ru to awaken.
"Continue speaking." Zheng Congyuan’s voice turned cold again. He glanced at those respectfully waiting by the entrance of the hall, a trace of strangeness flashing in his eyes. It seed that everything would have to wait until Nian Ru woke up.
Imperial Doctor Xu, standing aside, jumped at the sound, beads of sweat the size of beans forming on his forehead, the first thing that ca to mind was that he was finished.
However, fortunately for him, Zheng Congyuan’s attention was on the people outside the hall, and he didn’t notice the very abnormal Imperial Doctor Xu, not even Qi Jin and Qi Yu were paying attention inside the hall.
"Your Majesty, Her Highness’s external injuries are not serious, and with so rest... she should co around after a sleep. However..." Imperial Doctor Xu had just started speaking when he suddenly saw the eyes from outside the hall all looking his way, which imdiately made him tremble with fright.
Zheng Congyuan also turned his head back sharply. But what happened next?
The looks of those people suggested they were very concerned about Zheng Nianru, and since they had saved them, it was unlikely they were enemies.
Imperial Doctor Xu was so frightened he almost knelt down, his mind filled with the threat he had faced when he had hurried over.
Don’t speak of that which should not be spoken.
The mont Imperial Doctor Xu placed his hand on the Empress’s pulse, he imdiately understood the aning of this maxim.
If it hadn’t been for witnessing the terrifying strength of these people, even taking care of the Mage from Nann State, he wouldn’t have been this scared.
Imperial Doctor Xu had been by The Emperor’s side diagnosing from the beginning and had discussed The Emperor’s strange symptoms with a variety of eccentrics and mages from the martial world. He naturally knew that The Emperor had no chance to be with the Empress until now.
So, where did the Empress’s joyful pulse co from?
"It’s just what?" Zheng Congyuan couldn’t wait any longer.
Imperial Doctor Xu imdiately snapped back to reality. Spacing out at this mont was tantamount to courting death.
"Your Majesty, as I was saying earlier. Her Highness’s primary issue is unresolved frustrations in her heart, hence..., she is prone to despair..." Imperial Doctor Xu stumbled over his words; he had been fluent earlier, but now, after being interrupted, he had almost forgotten what he had wanted to say.
