Naturally, no one slept well that night.

Chi Yao called Xu Jin, and then the doors of the rooms in the main cabin were opened.

There was also a medical kit in Chi Yao's room. He asked Shi Xing to sit on the sofa and used the thermometer to spray him several times. Chi Yao looked at the numbers on the gun and took a deep breath again. Shi Xing glanced and saw that the number after the decimal point seemed to have increased by two more places than when he came. He hesitated and picked up a pillow and hugged it tightly, not daring to speak.

"Why is your spiritual sea uncomfortable?"

Chi Yao asked Shi Xing.

Shi Xing thought he wanted to check again, so his first reaction was to move away from her body, "Don't..."

Chi Yao understood, "Don't look."

Chi Yao: "Relax, don't be nervous."

Shi Xing really stopped moving, resting his chin on the pillow, and then he said with some guilt, "Well, it's not that I can't look, but I'm not very comfortable. If you want to look, I'll prepare it."

Chi Yao: "Don't look."

Chi Yao: "You can't tell from the outside if you're uncomfortable."

Oh, that's right.

Shi Xing relaxed and organized his words, "There's no fluctuation, everything else in the spiritual sea is fine, the uncomfortable feeling... just, I feel very tired, and I don't want to mobilize the spiritual sea."

After a pause, realizing something, Shi Xing added, "It seems that it has no vitality, and its own fluctuations have decreased."

In addition to the time when the spiritual sea is mobilized, it has a cycle of energy flow.

Seeing the darker red on Shi Xing's cheeks, Chi Yao lowered his voice, "Why don't you feel it, are you sure?"

Shi Xing followed his words and said, "Well, let me feel it again."

His voice was weak, and after saying a few words, he looked dizzy and not very clear-headed.

"It's sure, it's lower than usual, and the circulation has slowed down."

This is not a good sign.

Chi Yao was speechless and didn't know what to say. After a while, he put his hand on Shi Xing's head and put the back of his hand against his forehead to feel the temperature.

Skin contact brought about the transmission of mental power. During the gentle movements, Shi Xing did not dislike it, and even felt a little attached.

"Your Highness, are you angry?"

Shi Xing asked in a low voice without being able to see the person's face.

Chi Yao said nothing.

Shi Xing: "I don't think it has anything to do with the use of mental power today. After all..."

He was interrupted by Chi Yao, "I'll be very angry if you say that again."

Shi Xing: "..."

Shi Xing: "...Oh."

The medical staff came quickly, followed by Xu Jinyan, Chang Yue and Fu Qing.

Everyone's expression was very serious. Shi Xing wanted to make a joke, but found that no one could laugh at this time, so he swallowed his words silently.

After a careful examination, the results seemed good, but in fact they were very bad.

It seemed good that except for the fever, the fluctuations in the mental sea decreased, and there was no problem with the body.

In fact, the bad thing was that the Blue Star people who got sick and died in the mature period also showed these two symptoms.

The doctor whispered to Chi Yao, "You spied on his spiritual sea today, right? Maybe it has some effect. We can't be sure whether the fever is asymptomatic or caused by physical discomfort. We can only wait and see."

"If the temperature can go down tomorrow, it will be an ordinary high fever, no big problem."

Chi Yao drooped his eyelashes slightly, "What if it can't?"

The doctor paused and lowered his voice again, "Then I'm afraid we have to use some methods, such as absorbing a large amount of crystal and beast core energy, to see if it will be relieved."

Chi Yao: "Are the data of the spiritual sea out?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the nurse came over with a report and handed it to the doctor.

The doctor took a look and was silent for a moment. Chi Yao caught this reaction and asked, "Is the situation not good?"

The doctor said frankly, "The circulatory fluctuation has dropped a bit."

"The normal value is above 3. The fever just started, and it has dropped to 2.7..."

Without the doctor saying anything more, Chi Yao knew that it was not a good sign.

Nodding and asking the doctor to prepare the medicine for cooling and infusion later, Chi Yao looked at Shi Xing from a distance, with a breath accumulated in his chest, and he couldn't spit it out for a long time.

Chi Yao's silence seemed to be transmitted to everyone. Everyone lowered their heads and did their things silently, not talking much.

After the medicine was prepared, the doctor asked Chi Yao for instructions. Chi Yao asked about Shi Xing's condition, carried the feverish and confused man back to his own bed, and let Shi Xing get an IV in a familiar environment.

At first, Shi Xing wanted everyone to stop accompanying him, but he didn't listen. After that, he fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

When he woke up the next day, someone was already walking beside the bed. Shi Xing opened his eyes vaguely and put a hand on his forehead. Without looking clearly, Shi Xing knew it was Chi Yao. This was what his mental power told him.

"Your Highness." Shi Xing spoke, and his throat was hoarse for some reason.

"Do you feel any other discomfort today?"

Shi Xing shook his head.

After taking the cooling medicine, Shi Xing's body temperature did not continue to rise the next day, but it did not drop either. It seemed to be sealed by something and maintained in a stable range.

"Take the medicine for another day and see." The doctor said.

Chi Yao nodded.

Because of Shi Xing's sudden illness, the two spaceships did not move forward and stopped to rest on the spot.

Xu Jin and Yan Changyue have been taking turns to watch over Shi Xing. Fu Qing, whose painting style is rather peculiar, was copying military regulations in the main cabin living room. When he was tired and could not write anymore, he would go to Shi Xing's room to check on him.

After a night of fever, Shi Xing had difficulty lifting his hands the next day and was exhausted. He felt better when people came and talked to him, but he felt tired again when they left.

Shi Xing always felt that he was familiar with this feeling...

but his mind was dizzy. When he thought about it, he only remembered the fever in the tree nest, and he could not remember anything else.

After trying twice, Shi Xing's mind became even more unclear, so he gave up.

In the afternoon, Chi Yao brought animal cores and crystals to see Shi Xing. The attendant decorated the sofa on one side to be particularly comfortable, and Shi Xing nestled on it to absorb energy according to the doctor's instructions. Chi Yao sat on the sofa on the other side, working with a projection screen in front of him.

Shi Xing: "Your Highness, if you are busy, please go to the study. Officer Xu and Officer Yan are watching me."

Chi Yao gave Shi Xing an answer that he could not persuade, "I'm not busy."

"I'll stay with you for a while, you absorb yours."

There was nothing to say, Shi Xing covered himself with a thin blanket and absorbed the crystal obediently.

Chi Yao watched with his peripheral vision and found that Shi Xing's speed of absorbing the energy of the crystal had slowed down. In the past, it would take about two to three minutes for one crystal to break into powder. Now the time has been extended to five or six minutes, and he hasn't changed to the next one yet.

Knowing that it was not a good sign, Chi Yao drooped his eyelashes and did not point it out.

Shi Xing's condition changed again that night.

The high fever continued and the temperature rose.

The doctor confirmed that the normal medicine had no effect, so he switched to a cooling medicine specially used by the Blue Star people. He worked until midnight, and the new medicine was used up. All possible treatment measures were taken before the medical staff left.

Shi Xing's condition deteriorated rapidly. He could still move and talk during the day, but he was always in a daze at night. Chi Yao called him twice, but Shi Xing didn't wake up, so he stopped calling him.

Xu Jin and Yan Changyue kept watch that night.

It was almost noon on the third day when Shi Xing finally woke up completely.

Shi Xing felt uncomfortable and wanted to sleep, but Chi Yao didn't let him. He asked the attendant to help him sit up and forced him to eat something. Shi

Xing frowned, "Your Highness, I don't want to eat."

Chi Yao: "Be obedient."

Shi Xing stirred the porridge with the spoon in his hand, looking listless.

Chi Yao sighed in his heart, but his face remained tough, "Or do you want me to feed you?"

Shi Xing's hand paused, and he imagined the scene where he would be even less likely to eat. In the end, he gritted his teeth and drank the porridge mouthful by mouthful.

Before taking a nap, he heard some noise in the study. Even though his room was soundproofed, he could still hear it. It was obvious that the noise was quite loud. Shi Xing looked at the attendant Xu who had just entered the room in confusion.

Xu Jin lowered his voice and said, "It has nothing to do with you. His Highness is communicating with the Council of Elders."

In fact, it was somewhat related, but seeing Shi Xing's expression, Xu Jin did not tell him the whole story.

When Shi Xing woke up after his nap, he moved a little and felt something pulling his hand.

Shi Xing opened his eyes, saw the person sitting next to the bed, and said blankly, "Your Highness?"

"It's me."

It was Chi Yao who was holding Shi Xing's hand. There was a crystal stone in Shi Xing's palm.

He looked over and saw a crystal stone breaking into pieces. Chi Yao didn't wait for him to absorb all the energy and create powder that was difficult to deal with. He threw the broken stone into the waste box and replaced it with a good one and put it in his palm.

Chi Yao held Shi Xing's hand, clenched his long fingers, and led Shi Xing's five fingers to hold the crystal stone tightly to absorb energy.

Feeling the rippling energy flowing into the sea of ​​​​spirituality, Shi Xing realized later that it must be because he didn't wake up when the time came. Chi Yao just held his hand and led him to absorb the energy of the crystal stone piece by piece.

It's hard to describe what the feeling is, I just feel a little sad, and a little moved.

After changing another crystal stone, Shi Xing came back to his senses and said, "Your Highness, I'll do it myself."

After that, Chi Yao's gray eyes swept over him and retorted, "That's it."

"Aren't you still busy with official business? This is too much trouble for you."

Shi Xing was talking about the small projection screen in front of Chi Yao.

On it was indeed the document sent by the Senate today.

Chi Yao didn't even move his head this time, "No trouble, this has been decided a long time ago, I just went through it one last time."

Shi Xing said softly: "If it doesn't work, there are also Xu Shiguan and Yan Shiguan, let them do the same."

After saying that, Chi Yao finally turned his head from the projection screen and looked at Shi Xing.

Chi Yao's face couldn't tell any emotion, and after a while, Shi Xing was getting nervous.

Sensing Shi Xing's discomfort, Chi Yao spoke again, his voice was not loud, but he was particularly firm, "That's true, but I am your boss after all."

Not Xu Jin and Yan Changyue.

Shi Xing didn't know what to say at all, and his eyelashes drooped.

Chi Yao asked him, "Do you remember it when you wake up?" Shi

Xing shook his head. He was dizzy with fever and wanted to lie down.

Chi Yao: "Then drink some water, Xu Jin prepared it for you before."

Shi Xing nodded.

Officer Xu was thoughtful and even put a straw in place. Shi Xing took several big sips and felt his throat was better.

Chi Yao's hand reached out again and lightly touched his forehead, which was hot.

The brief separation of sight gave Shi Xing some courage, "Your Highness, are you still angry?"

Chi Yao responded with a little effort, "What do you think?" Shi

Xing: "..."

As soon as his hand moved away, Shi Xing moved. Chi Yao thought he wanted to sit up, and just as he was about to help, he felt something and his hand stopped in mid-air.

Shi Xing didn't want to sit up.

He just twisted his body on the bed, moved his head to the outside of Chi Yao's knees, and put his whole face against it.

Chi Yao sat on the edge of the bed, and Shi Xing leaned against the outside of his legs. Through a thin layer of fabric, Chi Yao could feel Shi Xing's moist breath.

The intimate contact made Chi Yao's back slightly stiff.

Shi Xing closed his eyes, wrapped himself in the quilt, and leaned against Chi Yao and said, "Your Highness, please don't be angry."

Chi Yao: "Reason?"

Shi Xing: "I think I'll be fine."

"The fever has nothing to do with your treatment. You were fine this afternoon."

Chi Yao lowered his head and looked at the blue star's feverish and red cheeks with a complicated expression, "Then what do you say it has to do with?"

Shi Xing muttered, "Anyway, it's not a problem of treatment."

Chi Yao laughed, "You say it's okay, so it's okay?"

This time Shi Xing was silent for a moment, then spoke again, softly, "I don't think so."

"I haven't even formally treated you yet."

"I haven't seen the full picture of your spiritual sea."

"The healing power that permeated the spiritual world the day before yesterday has left many problems."

He paused and said firmly.

"God will not be so unfair to His Highness."

Nor will he be so unfair to him who has come back again.

This is really what a child would say. Chi Yao wanted to refute, but looking at Shi Xing who was curled up on his knees, his heart softened for a moment.

He raised his hand high to push the person who was playing tricks away, but it really fell down, and he just rubbed the head gently.

Chi Yao: "Sleep well."

Shi Xing buried his face in the quilt and bargained in a muffled voice, "I want to rely on you for a while, just for a while."

"..."

Chi Yao was afraid that Shi Xing would suffocate himself, so he pulled off the quilt to let his head out.

Silently, he took Shi Xing's hand and continued to lead him to absorb the energy of the crystal stone.

Shi Xing said boldly, "Your Highness, are you angry now?"

There was no answer for a few seconds, so Shi Xing changed the subject, "Minister Xu said that you were angry today. Did the elders offend you?"

Speaking of this, Chi Yao wanted to say something to Shi Xing, "You know, the couples of the direct royal family of the empire must participate in politics."

Shi Xing: "Yeah." Xu Jin said so.

Chi Yao: "The elders will use the fact that you are from the Blue Star as an excuse to say that you are fragile during your maturity period. To be on the safe side, they want to postpone the granting of this right until after you reach maturity. In other words, you will have the right to intervene in some major events of the empire three years later."

Chi Yao: "What do you think about this?"

Shi Xing thought about it with his muddled brain, "Are they afraid that I can't survive the maturity period?"

Chi Yao sneered, "Maybe."

Shi Xing: "That... makes sense?"

Chi Yao: "..."

Chi Yao: "..."

Feeling the silence in the air, Shi Xing felt uneasy, "Your Highness?"

Chi Yao shook his head, exhaled lightly, and said in a voice that was almost helpless, "I think you should just piss me off to death."

Shi Xing: "!"

Chi Yao, who was in-depth, did not intend to say more, and turned his head to read the official documents.

According to Shi Xing's observation, Chi Yao was not obviously angry, but it was not to say that he was not angry.

Combined with the last sentence, Shi Xing actually tasted something like "later punishment".

He was startled for two seconds, but the discomfort in his body made Shi Xing lie down again. It would be better to punish him later, not now. He

was very confident in the follow-up and did not ask Chi Yao whether he had calmed down or not.

After another check in the evening, the body temperature was still rising slightly. After the doctor left, the four people in the main cabin looked very ugly.

Shi Xing fell asleep drowsily after dinner.

He went to bed early, so if he was awakened by something unexpected, it was not time for everyone to go to bed.

Shi Xing felt that he was going to melt with heat, and his mental power was released uncontrollably in waves. He took a deep breath

. The leakage of mental power allowed Chi Yao and the others to come very quickly.

The sound of the door opening almost echoed with Chi Yao's anxious voice, "Shi Xing, what's wrong with you?" Shi

Xing half-knelt on the bed, with big drops of sweat dripping from his forehead, feeling like he was about to explode.

"Your spiritual sea..."

"Your Highness," Shi Xing frowned and said word by word, "My spiritual sea seems to be expanding."

It's not an ordinary growth and expansion, it's an extremely rapid expansion.

"Your Highness, I..."

"It's so uncomfortable."
