Chapter 354
Shen Qingnian swayed slightly, and she was a little unsteady on her feet. Xia Zi quickly stepped forward to support her.
She never imagined that Song Xuan's life would turn out like this after she left...
Seeing Shen Qingnian so distressed, Xia Zi couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, you don't need to be too sad. Now that you're back, His Majesty's old illness has also healed without medicine. However, what happened tonight is really strange. The divine physician clearly said that His Majesty had recovered, but I had a relapse tonight."
"And His Majesty's headaches have never been so severe before. Tonight's attack is the worst in the past three years. On previous occasions when His Majesty had an attack, although the headache was also unbearable, he did not need to be bound..."
What happened tonight is really strange.
Shen Qingnian did not speak upon hearing this. She just stared at Song Xuan, who was tied to a chair and had fallen into a deep sleep.
The man now looked utterly disheveled, completely devoid of the noble and dignified air of an emperor; his dignity had been stripped away by her own hands.
She's the one who made him suffer so much. How are her actions any different from Shen Zheng's?
Shen Qingnian's mind was in turmoil. Feelings of inferiority and inadequacy surged up, and guilt churned endlessly in her heart and mind...
Just as she was in a daze, Song Xuan, who was tied to the chair, opened his eyes at some point. He looked at her and said, "Qing, Nian, stay with me..."
The man's tone was weak yet firm, and his eyes held an intense desire.
Song Xuan didn't want Shen Qingnian to see him like this, partly out of respect, and partly because he worried that Shen Qingnian would feel guilty if she saw him like this.
He didn't need her guilt; he only wanted her companionship and affection, as well as her determination to walk together into the future.
As for what happened three years ago, that's all in the past, and he doesn't care about it at all.
When Shen Qingnian heard Song Xuan say that, the tears in her eyes could no longer be held back and rolled down, hitting his arm.
"Your Majesty, let this servant move His Majesty to the bed," Xia Zi suggested cautiously.
Song Xuan looks very weak right now, but he has regained his senses, so it would be best to let him lie down on the couch.
Shen Qingnian nodded and had Xia Xiazi carry Song Xuan to the bed.
"Your Majesty, there is tea and pastries on the table. I will be waiting outside the tent. Please feel free to give me any instructions if you need anything," Xia Zi said before quietly leaving the tent.
Only Song Xuan and Shen Qingnian remained inside the tent.
Shen Qingnian sat on the edge of the couch, wiping the sweat from the other person's forehead with a handkerchief. She couldn't help but ask softly, "Are you still holding on?"
She could tell that although the man had regained his senses, he still had a splitting headache, and cold sweat kept pouring out of his forehead.
Song Xuan raised his sweaty hand, took her hand, and curved his pale lips into a smile, saying, "With you by my side, no matter how painful it is, I can endure it."
He's right. As long as she's there, his pain will be much less.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnian smiled and took off her embroidered shoes, then lay down on the couch, wrapping her arms around the man's waist and resting her head in the crook of his arm.
