Chapter 544 Come, Hug One
When the iron box was opened and Luo Qinghan saw the motionless Xiao Xixi, he felt that the blood in his body almost froze.
My mind went blank.
Even the heartbeat stopped.
The world seemed to disappear in this instant.
All that was left in front of him was Xiao Xixi's pale face without a trace of blood.
Her face gradually overlapped with the face of Shen Zhaoyi before her death in her memory.
The despair brought by death was overwhelming, almost completely destroying Luo Qinghan's sanity.
Until Baoqin rushed over and cried, "My Queen."
Only then did Luo Qinghan come back to his senses from the nearly suffocating state.
He stretched out his trembling hands and carried Xiao Xixi out of the iron box.
Pressing her neck, there was still a slight beating.
She is not dead yet, she can still be saved.
Eunuch Chang quickly sent someone to call the imperial physician.
Luo Qinghan called Xixi's name, and seeing that she didn't respond, he wanted to pat her on the back, but because he was too anxious, he accidentally used too much force, and the pain woke Xiao Xixi from her coma.
Luo Qinghan was delighted: "Xixi, you finally woke up..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Xixi turned her head, opened her mouth and spat out a large mouthful of river water.
Only after she spit out all the water in her throat did she feel a little better.
Baoqin saw that she was soaked all over and wanted to take off her coat and put it on her.
However, Luo Qinghan took off his coat first.
He wrapped Xiao Xixi with clothes.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay."
The voice was low and deep, with a slight tremor.
I don’t know whether he is comforting others or comforting himself.
Xiao Xixi wanted to comfort him and tell him not to be too nervous, but she was powerless. She had just been to the gates of hell and had barely managed to save her life. She was extremely exhausted both mentally and physically.
She had no strength left, her lungs were burning with pain, and she couldn't speak a word.
The imperial physician rushed over and gave Xiao Xixi emergency treatment.
She was then sent back to Qingge Palace.
Xiao Xixi didn't remember when she fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already the next afternoon.
She felt dizzy, her limbs were sore and weak, her throat was very dry, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Baoqin, who had been guarding beside the bed, saw her wake up, rushed over and shouted excitedly.
"The Queen is awake!"
Qingsong, who was guarding outside the door, poked his head in and asked, "Is the queen awake?"
Baoqin turned her head and shouted at him, "Really, the queen is awake!"
Qingsong immediately cheered up: "Great, I will report this to the prince right away!"
He ran out in a flash.
Xiao Xixi spoke with difficulty: "I'm so thirsty..."
Her voice was so hoarse that she even scared herself.
Baoqin quickly poured a cup of warm water, helped her up with one hand, and held the cup with the other hand for her to drink.
"My lady, do you want more?"
Xiao Xixi nodded.
So Baoqin poured her another cup of warm water.
After finishing the glass of water, Xiao Xixi said she had had enough.
She glanced at the sky outside the window and found that the sun was about to set, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Have I slept for half a day?"
Baoqin's eyes were still red and her voice was a little hoarse: "You slept for more than half a day, you slept for a day and a half."
Xiao Xixi was very surprised.
She felt like she had only slept for an hour or so, how come a day and a half had already passed in the blink of an eye? !
Baoqin said as she stuffed the cushions behind her.
"You fell asleep not long after you were sent back yesterday, and the prince stayed by your side the whole time. Last night you had a fever, and your whole body was burning hot. The prince had someone call the imperial physician over, and the physician gave you acupuncture, saying that you would be fine as long as the fever went down. The prince was worried about you, and he stayed by your side all night, ignoring others' advice. He wiped your face and fed you medicine, and these were all done by the prince himself."
When Baoqin said this, she couldn't help but sigh.
"The prince really cares about you."
Xiao Xixi tried hard to recall, but she only remembered what happened before she fell asleep. She had no idea what happened after she fell asleep.
She asked in a hoarse voice, "Where is the prince?"
Baoqin said truthfully, "The prince went to the meeting hall at dawn this morning. He came back at noon and saw that you were still asleep, so he sat beside you for an hour. General Zhao came in the afternoon and seemed to have something urgent to do. They left together and didn't say when they would be back. But before the prince left, he told me that if the queen woke up, he should send someone to send a message to Mingguang Palace immediately."
Xing'er came in with a bowl of hot medicine.
"My lady, the doctor said that you should drink this medicine immediately after you wake up."
Xiao Xixi felt a headache as soon as she saw the black medicine.
She doesn't want to drink.
She tried to find reasons for herself not to take the medicine.
"I'm strong and I'll be fine after a few days of rest. I don't need any medicine."
Baoqin, who usually obeyed Concubine Xiao in everything, rejected her without thinking.
"No, the doctor said you must take the medicine. You can't refuse to drink it just because it's bitter. As the saying goes, good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. For the sake of your health, you must drink this medicine."
Xing Er also chimed in: "Sister Bao Qin is right. If the queen wants to get better quickly, she must take the medicine."
No matter how they persuaded her, Xiao Xixi didn't want to drink the bitter medicine.
When Luo Qinghan walked in, he happened to see Baoqin and Xing'er surrounding the bed and trying earnestly to persuade Xiao Xixi to take medicine.
Baoqin and Xing'er hurriedly paid their respects to the prince.
Luo Qinghan waved his hand, signaling them to leave.
After everyone left, Luo Qinghan walked to the bed and sat down.
He picked up the medicine on the low table and asked calmly.
"Do you drink it yourself? Or do you let me feed you?"
Xiao Xixi recalled the painful experience of being forced to drink medicine by him last time, and immediately gave in.
"I drink it myself."
She took the bowl, faced the black medicine that exuded a bitter smell, and silently hypnotized herself in her heart.
This is cappuccino. This is cappuccino. This is cappuccino.
Close your eyes and pinch your nose.
Open your mouth and drink it all in one gulp!
After swallowing a bowl of medicine, Xiao Xixi felt that her entire tongue was so bitter that she had lost her sense of taste.
She threw away the empty bowl and slumped on the bed with a look of despair on her face, like a dead fish.
Luo Qinghan held her hand.
The hand in the palm of my hand looks small, feels soft, and has a comfortable temperature.
This temperature proves that she is still alive, she is not dead.
Luo Qinghan couldn't help but hold her hand tighter and called out in a low voice.
"Hehe."
Xiao Xixi responded weakly: "Hmm?"
Luo Qinghan called out again: "Xixi."
Xiao Xixi turned her head and looked at him: "What's the matter?"
Luo Qinghan: "It's okay, I just wanted to call you."
He called her name yesterday, but she didn't respond at all. The terrifying feeling of losing her forever still makes him feel scared when he thinks about it now.
He was afraid that she would never wake up again.
He couldn't help but scream again.
"Hehe."
Xiao Xixi: “…”
She sighed, pulled her hand away from his, then stretched out her arms towards him and coaxed him in a coaxing tone.
"Come, give me a hug."
