The Emperor? It seems so; I must have transmigrated.
Yueying's words brought back Luo Jiu's previous memories.
What's wrong with me?
Luo Jiu was puzzled. She only remembered fainting suddenly at the farewell banquet, but why did everyone around her bed almost burst into tears when they saw her?
"Let me take a look."
Rong Yu took Luo Jiu's hand and began to take her pulse.
Yueying, who was standing to the side, was a little worried and began to tell her about the things that had happened during her coma these past few days, and how frightening they were.
"The Gu worms have emerged. His Majesty has not eaten properly for many days and is now somewhat weak. We can prepare some blood-nourishing porridge soon."
After speaking, Rong Yu smiled at Luo Jiu, his gentle and refined manner making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze. However, he couldn't maintain the smile for long before a sudden itch in his throat caused him to turn away and cough, covering his face.
"Huh? What's wrong with Young Master Rongyu?"
Luo Jiu knew Rong Yu was in poor health, but she had never seen him like this before. As a doctor, he naturally knew how to protect his own body. But why, after only ten days apart, had he become so thin, with dark circles under his eyes, as if he were terminally ill and not long for life?
"It's nothing. His Majesty has already woken up, so this humble subject will take his leave."
Rong Yu bowed with both hands and prepared to leave.
Just then, Luo Jiu noticed the gloves on his hands and asked with some doubt, "Wait. Why is Young Master wearing gloves?"
"It's nothing."
However, Luo Jiu's doubts only grew stronger. Taking advantage of his inattention, she ripped off the white glove.
The once slender and delicate hand was gone; the entire hand in front of her was swollen and red, with half of her little finger missing. It was wrapped in snow-white gauze, and blood was still soaking into the gauze.
007, what happened?! My second male lead's finger is gone?! #Angry#
【Master. The second male lead cut off his little finger to make a bone flute to help you dispel the poison.】So touching!
[Furthermore, to prevent you from being tormented by the Gu worms, I feed you a bowl of my heart's blood every day. Otherwise, in your chaotic state, you would surely be suffering excruciating pain from the Gu worms.]
Such a man is truly a celestial being; such a sight is rarely heard of on earth.
Luo Jiu was shocked upon hearing this, and almost moved to tears. "Waaah, what an amazing man... He's only met me a few times, yet he's willing to risk his life to save me. He truly deserves to be called a divine healer!"
However, if Rong Yu heard Luo Jiu's inner thoughts, she would cry her eyes out.
He loved her and was willing to give everything for her. But in her heart, she was just an ordinary friend, and she didn't even know how he felt about her.
[Master, the second male lead likes you.]
Luo Jiu stopped her daydreaming. Yes, everything made sense now. But was it worth it to give everything for someone who wouldn't like her back?
Luo Jiu got off the bed, bent down, and knelt before Rong Yu, looking him in the eye. She gazed into his dark eyes, which seemed to hold the stars and the sea. With some confusion, she asked, "Why?"
Rong Yu smiled gently in response. She reached out and patted her head, saying, "Because you are Xiao Jiu."
Because, when we first met by Yunmeng Lake, I admired your talent; then I liked your straightforward and adorable nature... I like you, so I'm willing to give everything for you.
Um?
Luo Jiu was somewhat stunned. However, before she could figure it out, the main gate outside the palace was suddenly pushed open.
Gu Muchen, dressed in a black robe with gold trim and wearing a jade crown, hurriedly walked in.
Seeing Luo Jiu squatting there in a daze, he didn't pay any attention. He quickly walked over and hugged her tightly.
He murmured, "Little Nine..."
