"Maid, escort the empress back. She's unwell" The emperor seeing his wife was in a bad state, ordered the maidservant to bring her back to her manor. He couldn't bear to let his wife fainted because of that unfilial son right?
"Yes, your majesty" The maid quickly escorted the empress while holding to her body, afraid that the empress would suddenly fell. The empress was really shocked silly!
"Hhh...so he goes because of his wife" when the empress had gone back to her chamber, the emperor secretly sighed. His feeling was right. His son went back to the lower realm! For someone as cold and as aloof as his son to escape from his punishment just because his wife was sick…
He bet Long Ao Zhen...had a romantic feeling for this human? Interesting!
-----
Long Ao Zhen stayed for 3 days in a row, taking care of Li Shi Ying. For the past 3 days, Li Shi Ying kept having a nightmare, especially at night. Only then Long Ao Zhen knew what Jiu Wei meant by her being anxious.
"Bring me the medicine!" Jiu Wei wiped the sweats on his forehead as he looked at Long Ao Zhen who was trying to calm Li Shi Ying.
"No...don't leave me…" Li Shi Ying cried again for the n-th time today. It's the second day ever since Li Shi Ying fell sick. The girl was better than yesterday but just, as usual, she still had a nightmare.
"Don't worry I'm here I won't leave you" Long Ao Zhen hugged Li Shi Ying and strokes her head gently. Seeing his baby bunny cried even though it's just because of her nightmare, he still felt bad for her. His heart ached to know that his precious girl was burying deep anxiety even he wasn't aware of.
"Uh…" Li Shi Ying snuggled to Long Ao Zhen arm and a while later, she went back to sleep. It's been a few times already that Li Shi Ying would suddenly wake up and cried. Long Ao Zhen had to console the girl so she would go back to sleep.
"Is this really okay? She keeps having a nightmare in the morning and her fever rise at night" Long Ao Zhen laid Li Shi Ying down on the bed again as he asked Jiu Wei out of worry. This is the second day so he couldn't hope much but Li Shi Ying didn't look like she was recovering.
Aside from her good appetite and rarely pukes again, the girl seemed to be lost in her own world. Even when she was eating, someone needed to feed her. She wasn't aware of anything happening around her. She didn't even know he was here next to her.
"Your highness it's something normal" Jiu Wei sighed as he stirs the medicine in his hand. Gu Zhong had just done a morning check and said that Li Shi Ying would fully recover 2 days from now. If tomorrow she didn't puke again, she would be fine.
"Really? She is screaming and crying in her sleep, gnashing her teeth, hugging her own body out of cold even when her temperature is so high...that is normal?" Long Ao Zhen couldn't believe his ear. He knew that the illness Li Shi Ying got was indeed serious but to think that the girl turned a bit crazy at night was something normal…
"What Jiu Wei said is true" Gu Zhong suddenly entered the room and answered Long Ao Zhen's question. The man came to deliver another batch of medicine and coincidentally heard Long Ao Zhen doubtful question.
"Really?" As stubborn as he is, Long Ao Zhen raised one of his eyebrows. He couldn't bear to see his bunny like this could she really be healed? Would she recover?
"Li Shi Ying case is still not too serious actually. Other patients I know will even enter a state of madness and destroy their own cultivations. Those without cultivation would throw things, roll on the floor and such" Gu Zhong nodded his head while explaining more about the behaviour of the patients having this illness.
"So tonight her fever won't be high again?" Long Ao Zhen silently sighed in relief. Li Shi Ying was lucky to only acted like this then.
"She will still have a high fever but in the morning it will cool down. By afternoon she won't have a fever anymore and only need to rest. She will already regain her consciousness early in the morning by the next day"
Gu Zhong placed the medicine he brought as he excused himself later. He was sure that Li Shi Ying would be alright by tomorrow. Everything would be fine.
Hearing Gu Zhong words, Long Ao Zhen could finally calm down. The man still keeps taking care of Li Shi Ying though.
The next day.
"Mn…" Li Shi Ying blinked her eyes slowly as she gets up. She felt that she had a long, scary nightmare but today she felt great. She didn't feel cold or hot anymore. Is she cured?
Li Shi Ying had just about to look around to ask for water when she noticed a familiar man was sleeping on a chair next to her with his head rested on her bed.
...Long Ao Zhen?? W-why is he here??
