At this moment, outside the hall, Shi Lan led Shen Ruoxuan in. As soon as Hai Ling saw Shen Ruoxuan, she seemed to see hope and anxiously gave him orders.
"Chen Ruoxuan, investigate for the Emperor, quickly!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Shen Ruoxuan accepted the order and stepped forward to examine the Emperor's injuries on the bed. Inside the palace, the Empress Dowager and Hai Ling watched him, hoping that he could find a way to heal the Emperor.
Soon, Shen Ruoxuan finished his inspection and got up to report.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty is not in mortal danger, but he has suffered multiple serious injuries, which is why he has fallen into a coma. The most serious injury to His Majesty is the wound on his face, which is too severe to be fully healed. There is also a blood clot in his brain, which can be removed, but it will take some time."
Shen Ruoxuan's examination results were almost identical to those of the imperial physicians. Hai Ling, who was full of hope, was once again dealt a blow. She could only stand by supporting herself on Feng Qian's arm and spoke slowly with a heavy heart.
"It's good that His Majesty is alright."
As long as he's alright, everything will be alright.
The Empress Dowager glanced at Hailing and saw that her beautiful face was pale and her body was trembling. Remembering that she was pregnant, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but give her some words of advice.
"Your Majesty should return to Liuyue Palace to rest. I will stay here and wait for His Majesty to wake up. I will send someone to fetch you."
Hai Ling shook her head, unwilling to leave. She slowly pushed Feng Qian away and walked firmly to the bedside. She sat down in front of the Emperor's bed, looking at the person on the bed with a pained and sad expression.
Night, I will never leave you. No matter what you become, I will always stay by your side.
Inside the palace, Shen Ruoxuan felt bad seeing Hailing upset. He walked to the bedside and said calmly, "Your Majesty, why don't you rest? Let Ruoxuan give the Emperor acupuncture. He will wake up soon."
Feng Qian walked over, helped Hai Ling up, then sat down to the side and quietly comforted her.
"Hailin, you must be strong. If the Emperor wakes up and sees you like this, he will be even more heartbroken."
Hailin nodded, forcing back her tears, her eyes filled with determination.
Shen Ruoxuan began to administer acupuncture to the Emperor. Inside the palace, everyone remained silent, all staring at the man on the bed.
A quarter of an hour passed, and the person on the bed finally murmured softly and stirred. Shen Ruoxuan put away the golden needles and slowly got up.
Hai Ling and the Empress Dowager rushed to the bedside, their eyes fixed on the person on the bed until he slowly opened his eyes. His dark eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment. He looked up at the two people by the bed, his expression showing that he didn't know who they were. It took him a long time to speak.
Who are you?
The Empress Dowager and Hai Ling exclaimed at the same time, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you're awake?"
The person on the bed was momentarily stunned, unable to react for a long time before finally speaking in a hoarse voice, "What happened to me?"
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but reach out and touch his face. He then touched some gauze, and his expression changed. He ordered the eunuchs and maids to his side, "Bring me a mirror, bring me a mirror."
The eunuchs and palace maids knelt and dared not move, looking up at the Empress and the Empress Dowager.
Seeing that the kneeling eunuchs and palace maids ignored him, the man on the bed flew into a rage and roared, "Are you deaf? I told you to bring me a mirror! I told you to bring me a mirror!"
As she spoke, she waved her hands excitedly, struggling on the bed to get up. Hai Ling felt extremely distressed when she saw this and quickly ordered the eunuch, "Go and fetch a mirror."
The young eunuch quickly obeyed and went to fetch the mirror. Hailing took two steps over and spoke softly with a pained expression.
"Night, don't worry, everything will be alright. I will always be by your side."
Unfortunately, her tender words and heartache sounded like a provocation to the person in bed, who immediately yelled, "Get out! Get out! All of you get out! Get out of here!"
His emotions were very unstable, and he pounded the bed with his large hands.
Inside the palace, the eunuchs and maids dared not utter a sound. The Empress Dowager, her eyes blurred with tears, cried out, "Feng'er, it's your mother, Feng'er."
"Mother?"
The person on the bed finally calmed down a bit, then looked at the Empress Dowager and softly called out, "Mother, what's wrong with me?"
The Empress Dowager stepped forward, embraced the person on the bed, and gently comforted him: "Feng'er, it's alright, it's alright, nothing will happen, your mother will always be with you."
At this moment, the eunuch brought over a mirror and presented it to the person on the bed in a flustered manner. The person on the bed reached out to take it, but the Empress Dowager quickly pressed his hand down: "Feng'er, don't look."
"No."
He growled, then reached for a mirror and looked at himself. He was startled by the person whose face was mostly covered in the mirror, and screamed. He then threw the mirror at the floor of the palace, yelling and shouting.
"Who is this? Who is this monster? Who exactly is he?"
"Feng'er, Feng'er."
The Empress Dowager held him sadly and comforted him. The man on the bed finally felt a little better, but he yelled at everyone, "Get out, all of you get out! Get out of here!"
While feeling sorry for him, Hai Ling almost suffocated. If Feng Qian hadn't been supporting her tightly, she wouldn't have been able to stand up. Seeing the person on the bed in pain, her pain was no less than his, and she couldn't help but cry out, "Ye, everything will be alright."
But the moment she opened her mouth, the person on the bed yelled, "Get out! You get out too!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at the Empress Dowager.
"Mother, tell her to get out. I don't want to see her. I don't want to see him."
After he finished speaking, he covered his face with his hands, seemingly utterly ashamed of his appearance, feeling helpless and in pain.
The Empress Dowager turned back to Hai Ling, weeping, and said, "Someone, help the Empress back to Liuyue Palace."
"night."
Hai Ling never expected Ye Lingfeng to treat her like this after waking up. Overwhelmed with sadness and heartache, she couldn't catch her breath and fainted from the shock.
Feng Qian, Shen Ruoxuan, and the others couldn't help but cry out in alarm, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
