Chapter 428 Open Your Eyes
Chapter 428 Open Your Eyes
His dog-like attitude made Yizhen feel very aggrieved. But the other party was in a high position and had great power, so Yizhen did not dare to argue with him and could only walk away silently with the medicine bowl in hand.
About a quarter of an hour later, Yizhen, who had received the hot medicine, stood in front of An Youchen again. This time, she no longer begged him to let her in to see the emperor, but just silently handed the medicine bowl to An Youchen and asked him to pass it on to the emperor.
Unexpectedly, when faced with the bowl of medicine handed to him by Yizhen, An Youchen simply refused to take it.
Yizhen's hand, stretched in the air, was hanging in the air, and soon it felt numb and sore.
"Grand Commander, do you like to embarrass others so much?" Although Yizhen was weak in character, she would still complain a little when she was pushed into a corner. In addition, she cared about the emperor so much that she had long since forgotten about the consequences and fears.
An Youchen gently pushed her hand away, turned away and said, "Take it in yourself."
Although the sound was light, it hit Yizhen's eardrum hard. Yizhen's eyes widened immediately and she repeated woodenly: "Bring it in?"
"If you didn't hear it clearly, forget it." An Youchen's voice suddenly rose, full of displeasure. Asking him to say it once was already the limit, did Yizhen want to force him to repeat it? He pretended to snatch the medicine bowl from Yizhen's hand, and Yizhen hurriedly protected the medicine bowl in her arms.
Due to the intense movement, the medicine almost spilled out.
"I'll go, I'll go... Don't blame me, Commander." Yizhen couldn't hide her inner joy, her face was full of smiles.
"Put down the medicine bowl, take a look at the emperor and come out, don't stay in there." An Youchen was not affected by Yizhen's joy at all. He had a stern face, like a war ghost.
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief." Yizhen was afraid that An Youchen would go back on his word, so after thanking him, she hurried into the bedroom.
When Eunuch Hua saw Yizhen coming in with medicine, he was startled and subconsciously asked, "Why are you here?"
"The commander-in-chief allowed me to see the emperor." Yizhen put down the medicine bowl and turned to look at Long Mohan lying on the sickbed.
The room was very large, and Yizhen was standing some distance away from the bed. In addition, there was a gauze curtain hanging over the bed, so she could only vaguely see Long Mohan lying there motionless.
"Eunuch, is the emperor okay?" Yizhen wanted to get closer but didn't dare to, so she had to ask Eunuch Hua first.
Eunuch Hua sighed deeply, "The Emperor was already seriously ill. I don't know what he encountered in the Immortal Pavilion. His condition is getting worse and worse."
Yizhen said nothing. After thinking for a while, she asked cautiously, "Is the emperor's worsening condition related to the monster?"
Ji Anni is a fox demon, Yun Zhen is a Taoist priest, and Long Mohan is just an ordinary person, how can he be capable of dealing with this demon? So Yizhen immediately suspected that Ji Anni and Yun Zhen cast a spell to make Long Mohan unconscious.
Eunuch Hua didn't understand pathology, so he could only paraphrase the doctor's words: "The emperor vomited blood and fell into a coma because of anger. I don't know what made the emperor so angry."
"Eunuch Hua, can I feed the emperor medicine?" Although he knew the hope was slim, he still couldn't help but make this request.
"I have already fed him the medicine, but the emperor refused to drink it." Eunuch Hua had tried many methods, but none of them could make the unconscious Long Mohan swallow the medicine. In the end, he could only watch the medicine get cold and asked the servants to bring back a bowl of hot medicine.
"Eunuch Hua, let me try. I have been the best at taking care of patients since I was a child." Yizhen continued to recommend herself. She held the bowl in her hand and just waited for Eunuch Hua to nod before she immediately walked towards the bedside.
Eunuch Hua knew that Yizhen was a kind person, so he stopped making things difficult for her and nodded in agreement.
Yizhen couldn't believe her luck was so good that she managed to pass the two difficult tests of An Youchen and Hua Gonggong. She remembered the bowl of black water that Yuan Rong had persuaded her to drink not long ago... Could it be that the black water had taken effect? However, since then, Yuan Rong had never appeared in front of Yizhen again, leaving Yizhen with no one to ask about it, and she didn't know what the black water was for.
After drinking the river water, she had no illness or pain for the next two days, as if nothing had happened. Gradually, Yizhen was no longer worried about the black water.
Yizhen rolled up the gauze curtain and looked at the emperor's pale sleeping face, feeling a little heartbroken.
"Your Majesty?" she called softly as she sat beside the bed.
Long Mohan closed his eyes and did not react at all.
At this time, Eunuch Hua came behind Yizhen, leaned over to carefully observe the emperor's expression, and said, "It's useless, your majesty, the emperor is too unconscious."
"Eunuch Hua, can you help me support the emperor?" Yizhen was holding a medicine bowl in her hand, so it was inconvenient for her to help the emperor sit up.
Seeing that Yizhen was very skilled in treating patients, Eunuch Hua couldn't help but hold on to some hope and helped her help the emperor sit up.
"Your Majesty, please drink the medicine. If you remain unconscious like this, everyone in the palace will be in panic." Yizhen put the medicine spoon to Long Mohan's lips. Long Mohan still did not respond. Yizhen had no choice but to force him to drink the medicine, but the medicine soon flowed down the corners of his mouth.
"Your Majesty, this won't work. I've tried it before." Eunuch Hua hurriedly took out a handkerchief and helped Long Mohan wipe off the medicine.
"Eunuch Hua, Yizhen has another way, but..." Yizhen seemed to be hesitant and did not dare to speak directly.
"Your Majesty, just say it. I also want to see the emperor safe and sound as soon as possible." Eunuch Hua was anxious and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. If the emperor didn't wake up, he might be severely punished for not protecting his master. The pain of the flesh is small, but the fear is that his life will be in danger.
With the encouragement of Eunuch Hua, Yizhen finally made up her mind and took a deep breath.
Eunuch Hua thought Yizhen had some solution, but he saw her suddenly drink the medicine herself.
"My Lady?" Eunuch Hua's eyes widened. Just as he was about to ask for clarification, he saw Yizhen holding the back of Long Mohan's head and kissing Long Mohan's lips. The medicine flowed out from their lips pressed together, but it was much less than when Long Mohan was forced to drink the medicine just now. Although Eunuch Hua was shocked, he did not rush over to pull Yizhen away, but stared at them blankly.
After a while, Yizhen finally raised her head and wiped the corners of her own and Long Mohan's mouths.
"Empress, do you want to feed me the medicine this way?" Eunuch Hua still couldn't believe it.
"Isn't there no other way..." Yizhen frowned and smiled bitterly with uneasiness.
No matter what others think, no matter whether she really has any selfish motives, she just wants to help Long Mohan drink the medicine.
"Oh, okay... Her Majesty is just trying to save people and didn't mean to offend." Eunuch Hua lowered his head and clenched his fists, muttering to himself to convince himself that there was no need to interfere.
At this time, Yizhen took another sip of the medicine and fed it to Long Mohan in the same way.
Eunuch Hua subconsciously turned his eyes away, not knowing where to look.
After feeding her a few mouthfuls, I don’t know if it was the medicine or the kiss that worked, but Long Mohan actually let out a soft "Woo..."
Yizhen, who was closest to Long Mohan, immediately noticed that he was waking up and called out urgently, "Your Majesty? Are you awake, Your Majesty?"
After hearing Yizhen's call, Eunuch Hua quickly turned his eyes to Long Mohan's face and found that Long Mohan's brows were slightly wrinkled, no longer as relaxed as they were when he was unconscious. He immediately became excited, rushed to the bed, grabbed Long Mohan's arm and called out: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, can you hear your servant's voice?"
As Yizhen and Eunuch Hua waited, Long Mohan opened his lips slightly, and a soft sound came out from his lips moistened by the medicine: "Zhao Ji... Zhao... Ji..."
When Long Mohan called her for the first time, Yizhen and Eunuch Hua didn't know what he was mumbling. It was not until he called her three or four times that Eunuch Hua finally realized that he was calling Zhaoji. Eunuch Hua sighed heavily and said, "Alas, the emperor is still thinking about Zhaoji..."
At this moment, Yizhen's expression revealed a trace of barely perceptible sadness. She gently held Long Mohan's hand and whispered softly in his ear: "Your Majesty, Zhaoji is here... beside you, please open your eyes and take a look..."
This is the best way to encourage Long Mohan to open his eyes. If he doesn't lie and say that Zhao Ji is by his side, Long Mohan's shallow consciousness will soon be swallowed by the darkness again.
"Zhao...Ji..." With this call, Yizhen felt Long Mohan suddenly hold her hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would leave suddenly. At that moment, the emotion overcame the sadness, and Yizhen's eyes were a little wet. Although she knew that Long Mohan was not calling her, the illusion that she was needed by him made Yizhen's heart full of sweetness, almost overflowing.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Ji, please open your eyes quickly... Please... take a look at Zhao Ji..." Yizhen continued to speak in Zhao Ji's tone. This trick was very effective. Long Mohan's eyelids began to tremble slightly, as if they were about to lift up.
Seeing this, Eunuch Hua became even more excited and kept shouting in Long Mohan's ear: "Your Majesty, are you awake? Your Majesty, are you awake?"
"Zhao Ji, if it is really you... please don't leave me again, please don't leave me again..." Long Mohan was like an abandoned child, clinging to the last glimmer of hope and refusing to let go.
Yizhen held his hand tightly in her palm, raised it to her chest and said, "Your Majesty, I will never leave... Zhaoji will never leave again..."
Suddenly, I didn't want him to open his eyes. I wanted him to live in Soji's fantasy for the rest of his life, and I would accompany him and comfort him as Soji...
Because once he opens his eyes, he will find that he is not So Ji.
By then, not only will he be disappointed, but he will also be suddenly awakened from his sweet dream and fall very painfully.
The more Yizhen thought about it, the sadder she became. She lowered her head silently and no longer responded to Long Mohan's call.
After a while, Yizhen suddenly realized that Long Mohan's calling had stopped. She finally came to her senses and hurriedly raised her head.
When he looked up, he found that Long Mohan had already opened his eyes and was staring at him.
Because he had just woken up from a coma, his eyes were not sharp, with a hint of confusion, and in the confusion there was a bit of surprise and disappointment. This surprise and disappointment were because he found that the person accompanying him was not Zhao Ji, but the somewhat unfamiliar Yizhen.
