While he was pulling at Nangong Luoying and crying out, Nangong Luoying had already fainted.
Eunuch Ma caught Nangong Luoying in his arms and cried out, "Princess! Princess? Someone come quickly! Summon the imperial physician! Princess Luoying has fainted!"
As soon as he shouted, the palace maids nearby rushed out to help, and the guards also notified the Emperor and Consort Shu.
The man in the dark watched her being led into the palace before turning away, relieved.
When Nangong Luoying woke up again, she was completely stunned when she saw the familiar ceiling above the bed. She turned her head and looked incredulously at the decorations in the room and the group of people surrounding her. She was so frightened that she quickly closed her eyes tightly and then opened them abruptly. Only when she was sure that she was not dreaming did she sit up in bed with a jolt.
Consort Shu was the first to react. Looking at Nangong Luoying, tears streamed down her face: "Luoying, you're finally awake! Do you know how worried your mother was about you? Waaah! Where have you been all these days!"
Nangong Luoying hugged Consort Shu tightly, letting out all the grievances in her heart: "Waaaa, Mother Consort, Luoying missed you so much! Do you know how much I've suffered lately? Waaaaa, I'm so scared!"
While sniffling, Consort Shu hugged Nangong Luoying and gently comforted her, "It's alright, it's alright, you're back now. With your mother here, no one can hurt you!"
Nangong Luoying nodded: "Yes, Mother Luoying is so hungry, I want to eat meat!"
"Very well! Your mother will order someone to prepare." Consort Shu released her from her embrace, helped her lie down on the bed, and covered her with a blanket.
She turned and walked outside: "Eunuch Ma, go and tell the Emperor that the princess has woken up."
Nangong Luoying lay on her bed, thinking about everything that had happened in the past few days...
"The Emperor has arrived!" Eunuch Li's announcement interrupted her thoughts.
Nangong Luoying slowly sat up from the bed and looked at the Emperor who was getting closer and closer. The tears she had managed to hold back flowed out again: "Father!"
The emperor walked to her bedside and looked at her thin face, unable to say anything to blame her, after all, she was his own daughter.
He looked at Nangong Luoying and said softly, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back! Do you still remember who kidnapped you?"
Nangong Luoying thought for a moment and shook her head: "Luoying doesn't remember."
Her eyes were filled with fear as she spoke of these days and experiences; she never wanted to relive them again.
The Emperor grasped her hand: "It's alright! If you don't remember, that's fine. Your father will find a way. How did you escape?"
Nangong Luoying gripped the Emperor's hand tightly in terror: "I sneaked out when no one was guarding the courtyard! Father, you must do justice for me! I... I'm so scared!"
Her body began to tremble slightly.
For so many days, apart from seeing some light through the windows and cracks in the doors, she could not see a single ray of light at all. Those days of utter darkness were truly the biggest nightmare of her life.
The Emperor looked at her with heartache, but anger gradually crept into his eyes. He looked at Eunuch Li and said, "Go and investigate for me! Send the Imperial Guards! Once you find the murderer who kidnapped the princess, bring him back to me immediately!"
Seeing the Emperor's expression, Eunuch Li knew he was truly angry, so he quickly nodded and replied, "This old servant will go right away."
When Consort Shu entered, she saw Nangong Luoying holding the Emperor's hand, crying pitifully...
