Moreover, if he doesn't wake up soon, Xiao Yuanshan is becoming increasingly irritable and is really going to start a rebellion.
So, at dawn that day, as all things awoke, it was time for the officials to sheepishly enter the palace for the grand court assembly.
Xiao Zhixing grunted twice and opened his eyes.
"!!" Xue Mei was adjusting the blankets on her body when her eyes widened and met the familiar gaze. The next moment, she screamed in a tearful voice, "Your Highness!!"
The sound was like thunder, instantly waking up the entire town's royal palace.
Xiao Yuanshan rushed over without even putting on his shoes, just throwing on a coat, his face pale. "What happened? What happened?!"
It certainly wasn't the terrible news he was thinking of.
The next moment, the burly man with the beard, who had lost several pounds, burst into tears and wailed at the top of his lungs, "My daughter—!"

Granny He and the others grinned, but tears welled up in their eyes.
Wu Xu snatched the pulse, checked it, and said, "It's healed, completely healed."

Xiao Zhixing was carefully helped up to eat, ignoring Xiao Yuanshan who was slowly moving over.
The latter grinned obsequiously and leaned closer, "Hehe, hehe, daughter—"
