It was as if she was floating in a sea, swaying from side to side, the events of the past flashed past her eyes continuously, but Hu Xiao felt that she could not wake up no matter what.

"Dad, Mom, I'm in so much pain."

"It hurts, why don't you hug me?"

"… …"

"Your Majesty, your body is more important. This place should be guarded by a servant."

Hu Xiao had already fainted for an entire night, and Qin Shuo had also stayed at Hu Xiao's side for an entire night. At this time, Qin Shuo no longer had the elegant demeanor he usually had, and instead had a few more vicissitudes of life.

"No worries. It's fine to be alone here. You all can leave."

Qin Shuo said as he glanced at Zhi Lan, who had been attending to him from the side.

Looking at the people around him who had worked hard the entire night, Qin Shuo felt as if he was numb when he thought of the unconscious Hu Xiao who was still lying on the bed.

"Your majesty, the dragon's body is more important, this Empress saved you for your majesty's safety in the first place. If Empress were to know that your majesty, who only used her life to save herself, is so uncaring, I'm afraid she would be angry."

Seeing Qin Shuo who was clearly tired, yet was not resting at all, the court officials were all worried.

"So noisy, so noisy …"

Before Qin Shuo could say anything, a whisper came from the bed.

"Empress, Empress, are you awake?" What did you just say? "

Zhi Lan was extremely close to Hu Xiao in the first place, so when everyone was still making noise, Zhi Lan had already heard what Hu Xiao said.

"Hmm? The empress is awake? "

The previously noisy room immediately became quiet, Qin Shuo also lowered his head, he tilted his head as though he wanted to hear what Hu Xiao had said clearly.

"That's enough, all of you can leave for now. Our queen is still lying here, why would Gu Ruoyun go alone to rest? If there's anything, I'll tell you alone."

Qin Shuo looked at Hu Xiao's pained expression and quickly chased away all the people who were planning to continue persuading him by her ear.

Although he wanted to say something, seeing that Hu Xiao's face was completely bloodless, he could only shake his head and leave.

Initially, he had thought that Hu Xiao's mutterings were meant to wake him up, but even after waiting for a long time, he did not seem to have any signs of waking up.

"You can leave first."

Seeing Zhi Lan who was still standing at the side, Qin Shuo felt that she was an eyesore.

"Okay."

Zhi Lan did not insist, and the current Hu Xiao did not need her help, so she left for the kitchen to stare at the medicinal herbs.

There was finally no one around him, and Qin Shuo, who had been enduring for a long time, was finally unable to hold on. He sat on Hu Xiao's bed, a person who was usually in high spirits, but now because he was lying on the bed, Qin Shuo had never hated himself for being so powerless.

"Mm …"

Just as he was deep in his thoughts, Hu Xiao's mutterings caused him to come back to his senses.

"You're awake?"

Looking at Hu Xiao who was slowly opening her eyes, Qin Shuo was wild with joy.

"Yes."

It was as if he hadn't opened his eyes for a long time, as if he wasn't used to it.

"What's wrong? But where is it hard to bear? "

Looking at Hu Xiao's expression, Qin Shuo asked nervously.

"I'm fine."

Although she was in a coma, she could still hear everything that was happening around her, and it was just that she couldn't speak. Looking at the slightly green-eyed Qin Shuo, a tinge of bitterness flashed across Hu Xiao's heart.

However, in the past few days, Qin Shuo had been unable to understand what was going on. She was able to tell whether or not the relationship between the two of them was real or fake, and he thought that it was only because of her identity, but if it was just that, Qin Shuo didn't need to stand by his side for an entire night.

When Hu Xiao was still unconscious, Qin Shuo felt that he had millions of words in his heart that he wanted to tell Hu Xiao. But now, he couldn't even say a single word.

"Zhao Qiyan captured a person."

All the Janissaries had been dispatched that day, but there was only one survivor.

"Mn, this is not the same wave as the one at Liuzhou City."

Hu Xiao had long known about it, catching one was already considered good, those people were all Death Soldiers.

"It isn't?"

Hu Xiao's words caused Qin Shuo to be stunned for a moment. She originally thought that this was the first time they came looking for Hu Xiao, and this time, she was the first one to come looking for Hu Xiao.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please let the General Zhao interrogate you first. Your aim should not be pure."

"Alright."

Seeing that Hu Xiao had woken up, but her face was still extremely ugly, Qin Shuo could not bear to do so.

"Rest for a moment, I'll come see you later."

Originally, they had wanted to wait for Hu Xiao to wake up and decide the outcome of that person. However, Hu Xiao actually said that it was not the people from Liuzhou City, then, these people could actually find an Elephant Water Villa.

Seeing that, Hu Xiao nodded her head, felt that she was too tired to bother with Qin Shuo, and closed her eyes.

Seeing Hu Xiao like this, Qin Shuo turned and left, he had more important things to do.

"The empress is already awake, go in and be careful. She's still resting. If anything happens, come and inform me as soon as possible."

Qin Shuo said to Zhi Lan who was still outside the door.

He turned and walked towards the place where the assassins were locked, just in time to see Zhao Qiyan walking out, bringing Zhao Qiyan along with him.

"Your Majesty, why are you here? Is the Empress awake?"

Shouldn't they be guarding the Empress's bed at this time? Why did it appear here?

"I just woke up. The empress said that the killers this time are not the same group as last time. Is there any result?"

"Is that true? From the assassin's tone, it seems like he is not from East Court. "

Zhao Qiyan heard Qin Shuo's words and felt that it was strange. The assassins were approaching the Empress, so why aren't they a group of people? However, it was unlikely that the empress and emperor would take this as a joke.

"Not East Court?"

If not because of East Court, did he come to intercept the empress so that he could instigate a war between East Court and South Yue? It was no wonder so many people had surrounded him when he had seen him that day. It was just that he didn't know which nation had come to assassinate him with such a large amount of profound energy!

"Again! I have to find out who the mastermind is! "

With how brazen he was, Qin Shuo did not even put him in his eyes! were they not putting the hundreds of thousands of his East Court in their eyes?

"Yes!"

Zhao Qiyan naturally thought of the same problem that Qin Shuo was thinking about, and was extremely furious, but the teacher had not been guarding the border for a few months, and actually dared to reach out to Qin Shuo!

"Your Majesty, His Majesty is in trouble. The Empress fainted again."

Just as Qin Shuo was planning to follow Zhao Qiyan to meet that man, Zhi Lan ran over and said that.
