Chapter 181 Suddenly Awakening
Jiang Mi was anxious, so she walked quickly and soon arrived at the male lead's side.
"Young lady! You've arrived!"
Several guards were pacing anxiously at the door. They didn't know if Jiang Mi would come, and now they could only take a gamble.
When they saw Jiang Mi, the huge weight on their hearts finally lifted.
Jiang Mi rushed through the gate, her voice cold and sharp, "Where is your master?"
The guard's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly gave the heroine directions.
“Miss, the master is in the inner courtyard. I will take you there.”
Jiang Mi stopped and followed the guard.
When the guards brought Jiang Mi to Huo Ran's door, the door was still tightly closed.
"Open the door."
As soon as he finished speaking, the guard pushed open the door.
Suddenly, he lay weakly on the bed, his face pale and unconscious.
"How long has your master been in this state?"
"Replying to you, young lady, it has been some time, but I do not know the exact number."
Jiang Mi didn't want to make things difficult for him, so she said, "Okay, you can go now. I'll handle things here."
"Yes, thank you, young lady."
After Jiang Mi stepped inside, the guards closed the door.
Click—as soon as the door closed, Jiang Mi rushed to Huo Ran's side. She pulled out a chair from the side, took out the box, placed it on it, and began to treat him.
This plague is truly fierce.
Half an hour later, when the last needle was removed, beads of sweat had appeared on Jiang Mi's forehead.
Now all you need to do is decoct a few more doses of medicine and take them, then you can gradually recuperate.
Jiang Mi took the medicine out of the box and began to decoct it.
Looking out the window again, I was surprised to see that it was getting dark.
It's time for her to eat, but she doesn't feel hungry at all.
After a while, her wrist ached from fanning herself.
The medicine was finally brewed, and she slowly picked up the bowl and sat down next to Huo Ran, gently supporting his head as she fed him the medicine.
The medicine was slightly bitter, but Huo Ran had already fallen into a coma and felt nothing.
Jiang Mi hoped in her heart that he would feel better after taking this medicine.
In the middle of the night, Huo Ran felt a little better after taking the medicine. His fingers twitched slightly, and Jiang Mi immediately took his hand.
"Suddenly, suddenly?"
She tried calling out softly several times, and Huo Ran's eyelids began to tremble slightly.
Jiang Mi was overjoyed; it seemed she could finally wake her up.
As a result, Huo Ran only improved after taking the medicine, but did not fully recover. Due to the illness and excessive sleepiness, he is still in a semi-conscious state.
Jiang Mi shook her head helplessly. It seemed that he hadn't woken up yet, and she could only wait until tomorrow morning to see.
Just as Jiang Mi was distracted, Huo Ran suddenly called her name in a soft, drowsy voice.
Jiang Mi instantly snapped out of her daze. She lowered her head to listen to what he was saying, then abruptly turned her head and repeated her name.
Now she understood; Huo Ran was calling her.
She touched Huo Ran's forehead, her eyes overflowing with love.
The next morning, he woke up suddenly and touched his head, feeling a splitting headache. He struggled to sit up and immediately saw the medicine box on the chair. He frowned.
Jiang Mi just walked in carrying a bowl of water. Before the door could be closed, he could see that there were still guards outside.
"Someone come here!"
With a sudden shout, the guards outside rushed in. "Your Highness, what are your orders?"
Actually, he was sweating profusely, since he was the one who brought the girl in.
He knelt on one knee, his hand resting on his knee, trembling slightly.
Huo Ran was sitting on the bed, glaring angrily at the guard, and said, "Didn't I instruct you to refuse to see anyone who requests an audience? What are you doing?"
What? Disobeying orders or ignoring my words?
The reprimand frightened the guard so much that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Highness, I dare not. It was this girl who insisted that she had a cure for Your Highness, so I let her in. I deserve to die."
After the guard finished speaking, he hurriedly kowtowed several more times.
Huo Ran suddenly coughed a few times, and Jiang Mi hurriedly stepped forward with a glass of water, but he waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need it.
"If this girl hadn't come to heal me but to stab me, then what's in front of you right now would be a corpse, do you understand? How can I keep you as my personal bodyguard when you're so careless?"
Actually, Huo Ran was just worried about Jiang Mi; he was afraid that she would catch the disease.
But the guards believed it to be true.
He kowtowed again, his forehead bleeding from the effort. "Your Highness, I deserve to die. It was my negligence. Please punish me."
He coughed and said again, "Fine, nothing can be accomplished without rules. Since you want to be punished, I will grant your wish. Go down and receive twelve strokes of the military rod."
"Guards! Drag this man out and give him twelve strokes of the cane."
When Jiang Mi saw that he was really going to punish the guard, and that she was the one who had insisted on letting him in, she quickly walked in front of the guard and stopped him.
"Your Highness, please wait. Since ancient times, there has been the principle of atonement for one's sins through meritorious service. Although this guard made a mistake, it was not serious enough. Moreover, I have already cured Your Highness. Would Your Highness be willing to withdraw the punishment for this guard and atone for his sins through meritorious service?"
Jiang Mi still had to maintain appearances in front of Huo Ran and the guards, and she also didn't want innocent people to get hurt.
Huo Ran was quite pleased to see that she was kind-hearted. As expected, Jiang Mi was just as he had thought, not an ordinary woman.
Although I was happy, I still had to put on a show.
After thinking for a while, Huo Ran said, "I think what you say makes sense. Since I am now showing signs of improvement, and you are a kind-hearted person who has no intention of harming me, I will consider it as you making amends for your sins."
Upon hearing this, the guard repeatedly expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Miss."
Huo Ran waved his hand and said, "Go down, all of you."
"Yes, Your Highness, I shall take my leave."
After all her subordinates had left, Jiang Mi gave Huo Ran some water to drink.
Seeing Huo Ran's slightly upturned lips, Jiang Mi put her hand on his shoulder and laughed, "Your Highness is so majestic."
Huo Ran smiled and put down the bowl. "Jiang Mi, please stop teasing me. What kind of prescription is this? It made my illness improve so quickly. Tell me about it."
Jiang Mi took out her prescription for treating the disease, along with similar medicine, and handed them to Huo Ran.
"This is the prescription and medicine. It's alright if you don't have acupuncture needles. Just decoct a few more doses, take them, and rest well for a few days, and you will recover completely."
Huo Ran was overjoyed as he held the prescription. "Our Jiang Mi is truly gifted, a reincarnation of Hua Tuo!"
"Weren't you so arrogant just now, Your Highness? What's your intention in making fun of me now?"
Huo Ran smiled indulgently and patted Jiang Mi's head.
"Jiang Mi, I have a plan."
"Please speak, Your Highness."
