Xue Yinzhou looked at the black-clad person on the ground showing faint signs of awakening, his voice extremely cold, "How should we handle this?"
Lu Xiao hesitated for a moment and replied, "The Female Master seems to need him, let’s bring him back as well."
...
Shen Tang didn’t know how long she had been unconscious, but when she woke up, she was already back in the sleeping quarters of the Imperial Palace.
The air was filled with the smell of medicine and faint disinfectant. She turned her head and saw several doctors and nurses beside her.
"Don’t worry, Your Majesty’s health is fine, it’s just some residual nerve toxins in the blood. We’ve administered an antidote, and Your Majesty’s constitution is special, you’ll recover soon... Your Majesty is awake!"
"That’s great! Tangtang, you finally woke up! Do you know you nearly scared me to death!" Xiao Jin rushed over, but before he could get close, he was swatted away by a tail.
Xue Yinzhou said with displeasure, "Settle down."
He walked to the bedside, leaned down, held one of Shen Tang’s hands, and gently brushed her warm cheek with his slightly cool palm.
Xue Yinzhou gazed at his partner with tenderness and worry, "Tangtang, is your body feeling better?"
Xiao Jin glared discontentedly at the snake that stole a march, tail raised in anger, but he realized he had been too rash earlier. He hurried over to ingratiate himself, saying, "Tangtang, we were so worried about you! You didn’t send us many messages these days, I almost wanted to fight my way over to save you!"
Jia Lan stood at the door, his slender form tall and elegant.
He looked at Shen Tang as she awoke on the bed, his thin lips slightly pursed, hesitating as if unsure whether to approach.
To be honest, he felt a bit resentful. She had tricked him, sent him away, and ran off without a word, to such a dangerous place...
He had heard from Xiao Jin and the others that she had gone alone to the rebel army’s base camp and even encountered their leader.
God knows what she experienced these days, whether she was in danger, whether she ate and slept well...
Before he got a response from her, Jia Lan was wracked with guilt and unease, even shutting himself in his room to cry secretly. He felt he hadn’t kept her safe, hadn’t cared for her, failing his duties as Beast Husband.
He hadn’t slept well these past few days... no, he hadn’t slept at all!
"As long as you’re back." Jia Lan, seeing Shen Tang was unharmed, finally felt relief. After saying this lightly, he turned and left.
Shen Tang saw the mermaid youth’s particularly indifferent demeanor, her heart skipped a beat, recalling her actions when leaving, she sighed inwardly:
Oh no!
This time it’s really over; I made the little prince angry.
She needs to think about how to soothe him...
Lu Xiao noticed her gaze and raised an eyebrow slightly—looks like the disobedient little Female Master will be busy in the future.
He withdrew his gaze, walked to the bedside, and touched her still somewhat pale cheek, his voice low and gentle, "Does your body feel any other discomfort?"
Shen Tang opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found her throat was so hoarse she could barely make a sound, "Thirsty..."
Xiao Jin was quick on his feet and hands, promptly pouring a glass of water to feed her.
After drinking the water, Shen Tang felt like she was revived.
She glanced at the darkened sky outside the window and asked, "How long was I unconscious?"
"A little more than half a day. You haven’t had water or food for so long; I made some liquid food, you should have a little to fill your stomach first." Lu Xiao brought a bowl of lean meat porridge, pulled up a chair to sit by her bedside, scooped up a spoonful, gently blew on it to cool, and fed it to her.
