Chapter 238 Awakening
Shen Baoqing was in a coma for ten days before waking up.
During this period, Jiang Yueyao didn't even leave the house and stayed with her in Mingyue Tower.
There was a heavy snowfall in the capital yesterday, and her mother accidentally caught a cold, so her father didn't let her come over today. Jiang Yueyao took a book and sat on the armchair beside the bed. The floor heating in the room was very strong. She read for a while and then got up, took a cotton towel dipped in warm water and wiped Shen Baoqing's dry lips. Then the maid brought in the boiled medicine, and the two of them fed her the medicine together. After doing all this, she sat back in her seat, picked up the book and read for less than half a cup of tea, when she suddenly heard someone calling her.
The weak and subtle voice made Jiang Yueyao think she was hallucinating.
She raised her head and subconsciously looked at the bed opposite. Meeting the pair of almond-shaped eyes that had opened at some point in time, Jiang Yueyao was stunned for a moment.
But soon, I realized it.
She threw away the book in her hand and rushed to the bed.
Looking at Shen Baoqing who finally woke up, Jiang Yueyao, who was calm the moment before, burst into tears in an instant. She held her cheeks with both hands and cried so hard that she couldn't utter a word.
Tears accidentally fell on Shen Baoqing's face, and she frowned in disgust.
"Chen Baoqi, you are so dirty."
Jiang Yueyao, who was immersed in excitement, joy... and various emotions, suddenly stopped crying when she heard these words.
"Who's dirty? I'm just so happy... How dare you look down on me!"
As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief, wiped her own face first, and then went to wipe Shen Baoqing's.
"Oh, oh, be gentle, I'm your sister, Shen Baoqi, can you be a little gentler to your sister?"
"Hmph, you can't move now. If you fall into my hands, not only will I not be gentle, I will also beat you."
"Ouch, ouch, it hurts..." Shen Baoqing suddenly cried out in pain.
Jiang Yueyao was so frightened that she stopped and asked, "Where does it hurt?"
Seeing her face pale with fear, Shen Baoqing laughed: "I lied to you."
Jiang Yueyao glared at her lightly, then she remembered that she had to inform her father and mother, so she hurriedly ordered Jinzi to go to Begonia Garden to report the news.
Bai Jinyu and Shen Huaishan came over quickly.
Seeing her eldest daughter wake up, Bai Jinyu couldn't help crying again, and even Shen Huaishan's eyes turned red.
The female medical officer Xingman who lived next door was called over.
After taking her pulse, she looked at Shen Baoqing and asked a question.
"Miss Shen, who hurt you?"
"Bandits!"
"With whom was he injured?"
Shen Baoqing frowned suddenly.
"With whom?" she murmured, her eyebrows knitted together. "Who am I with?"
She suddenly became miserable.
"I don't seem to remember..."
Seeing her in so much pain, Bai Jinyu hurriedly hugged her and coaxed her softly.
"Don't think about it anymore. It doesn't matter if you can't remember. You're not an important person. Just be well."
Shen Baoqing leaned in her arms, her eyebrows furrowed.
Her mind suddenly became confused, she seemed to have forgotten someone...
In the gentle voice of her mother, she fell asleep again.
When she was sleeping, there seemed to be a vague figure in her mind... It made her sad and upset!
After Shen Baoqing fell asleep, she left her mother in the inner room to accompany her.
Jiang Yueyao followed her father out of the inner room and went to the warm room next door with the female doctor Xingman.
As soon as she entered, Jiang Yueyao couldn't wait to ask Xingman: "Sister, have you forgotten Master Xuanji?"
Xingman's face was solemn.
"From the test just now, it seems that the young lady has indeed forgotten Master Xuan Ji, but I am not sure whether this is a symptom of just waking up or she has really lost her memory. I have to go back to the palace and find Master."
Shen Huaishan nodded: "Okay, I'll send someone to take you there."
"Thank you, sir."
After Xingman left, Jiang Yueyao and Shen Huaishan sat in the warm room, and no one spoke.
I feel very depressed.
The old imperial physician's words came true, and Shen Baoqing really lost his memory.
But this amnesia is selective. She remembers her family but forgets Xuan Ji.
"Why did you only forget Master Xuan Ji?" Jiang Yueyao looked at her father, Shen Huaishan. "Dad, I heard that after someone is hurt, they will forget the person who hurt them deeply. Could it be that Xuan Ji hurt my sister?"
Shen Huaishan’s face was cold and he remained silent.
Just when she thought he wouldn't speak, he spoke in a deep voice.
"It's better to forget. Your sister and Xuan Ji had an ill-fated relationship. Now that your sister has forgotten him, it can be considered a new life."
"Xiao Qi, I'm going out for a while. You go stay with your mother and sister."
"good."
----
Shen Huaishan rode out of the city on horseback and headed straight for Xiangguo Temple.
After entering the mountain gate, he dismounted, threw the reins to the accompanying guards, and strode into the temple.
Halfway through the journey, he met Lu Sui coming out.
Lu Sui saw him and stepped forward to greet him: "Why are you here?"
Shen Huaishan didn't stop and glanced at him coldly: "Why are you here?"
"Xuan Ji is also my junior brother. He was injured, so I came to take a look."
"Hmph!" Shen Huaishan snorted coldly, without saying anything, he walked towards the yard where Xuan Ji lived.
Lu Sui, who was about to go down the mountain, saw him coming with great momentum and turned around to follow him.
Xuan Ji's courtyard is located in the temple, closest to the foot of the mountain. The courtyard is not big, but square, and the inside is very simple and tidy.
Xuan Ji, who had been seriously injured and in a coma for many days, woke up three days ago.
Now, he is able to get up and is currently sitting cross-legged on a cushion, his eyes slightly closed, chanting scriptures.
Shen Huaishan just rushed in straight away.
Xuan Ji opened his eyes and looked at him. His black eyes were as dark as an ancient well, without any ripples.
"Amitabha." He said the Buddha's name in a calm voice, raised his hand and pointed at the cushion opposite, "Donor Shen, please sit down."
Shen Huaishan sneered: "I think it's better not to sit down. I came here today to ask the master a question."
"You ask."
"I don't blame you for my daughter's injury. It was done by bandits. I will destroy them and avenge her."
"I didn't want to come to you, and you don't have the qualifications for me to talk to you."
"But today my Baoqing woke up."
"But she remembers everyone except you!"
Lu Sui was standing at the door.
From his position, he happened to catch Xuan Ji's abnormality.
When Shen Huaishan said "I just forgot you", Xuan Ji's hand twisting the Buddhist beads paused slightly.
It was just a moment, and soon everything returned to normal.
He glanced at the other person, who was wearing a red cassock and had his eyelids drooped, as if the hustle and bustle of the world did not bother him and he was isolated from the world.
Shen Huaishan got angry when he saw him like this.
If Xuan Ji were someone else, he would have beaten him up long ago.
But the other party is the abbot of Buddhism, how can you just beat him up?
He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
When he spoke again, his voice was much calmer.
"My Baoqing was willful before. She knew it was wrong, but she still insisted on pestering you. This is her fault, and it's also because I, as a father, didn't teach her well enough. I apologize to you on her behalf."
"Now that she has finally returned home and forgotten you, she can be considered to have been reborn."
"When you two meet again in the future, all the past events will be written off and you will be like strangers!"
"Of course, as a father, it would be best if you two never met in your life."
After saying these words, Shen Huaishan turned around and left the Zen room.
Lu Sui stood by the door, looking at Xuan Ji lying on the futon. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he could sense a sense of emptiness and sadness...
After not seeing him for two years, this cold and aloof Buddhist disciple has become a little more human.
