Chapter 36: Forgetting (3)
"Your Majesty, please forgive me !"
"What are you doing? Get up and talk--"
"I have deceived the emperor and I deserve to be punished."
"fool?"
Zhou Cheng was puzzled by Xue Han's words.
"To be honest, Your Majesty, King Zhou, Doctor Xue and I actually knew that the princess would wake up at this time—"
"What?"
Wang Ye’s words surprised Zhou Cheng.
"In fact, we already knew from the beginning that the miraculous effects of 'Ice Grass' and 'Flame Flower' cannot make the princess wake up immediately, but she needs to go through a transition period. If there is any mistake during the transition period, the princess will die. That's why my brother and I decided not to tell anyone yet, so as not to alert the enemy. The two rare flowers and herbs in the world do have the effect of bringing people back to life, but it's a pity that it takes a while to absorb their effects. The success or failure depends on the decisive fifteen days, either life or death. However, my brother and I are confident that we will not let the princess die, so we concealed it from the emperor. Please forgive me!"
Xue Han's explanation stunned Zhou Cheng. What kind of words are these? It turns out that 'Ice Grass' and 'Flame Flower' can really bring Yin Yin back to life, but there are risks. No wonder Xue Han was not shaken by the fact that the medicine extracted from 'Ice Grass' and 'Flame Flower' did not work. He and Wang Ye took turns to stay by Yin Yin's side. It turned out that they had a purpose. Once this information fell into the ears of the assassins who wanted to assassinate Yin Yin, they would definitely take the opportunity to attack. At that time, they might really wipe out Yin Yin, and then it would be really powerless to save the situation.
"... So this is true. Does that mean you and Wang Ye have been deceiving me all these days?"
"This humble minister deserves death!"
Damn it. Who let Xue Han and the others dare to lie to him, the king of a country? Moreover, shouldn’t they know his feelings for Yin Yin? It’s impossible for them to frame Yin Yin. There’s no reason for them to hide it, right?
"To deceive the enemy, you must first deceive your own people. If even you, King Zhou, believed it, then the assassin would be more likely to take it seriously and be careless. This is how the princess not only escaped from danger, but also finally woke up from her long sleep. You should be happy—"
Wang Ye's words made a lot of sense. If even Zhou Cheng didn't know and believed it, how could those assassins who were secretly preparing to move not believe it? More importantly, it was because of their private actions that Yin Yin woke up from her long sleep. Now even Zhou Cheng didn't know whether he should blame them. However, he only knew that Yin Yin's escape from danger and awakening was more important than anything else. Everything else didn't matter. If Yin Yin could wake up just by deceiving him, he would also feel that being deceived was also a happy thing.
By the way, not many people knew that Yin Yin had woken up. Xue Han also had Zhou Cheng's order to keep it secret from everyone. The only people who knew about it were the guards and it was kept absolutely secret. Even Zhou Yan didn't know about it, so he went back to [Prince Jing's Mansion] with Han Ji.
Yinyin woke up, but fell asleep again immediately, and then she was still sleeping. In order to confirm with his own eyes that Yinyin had woken up from her long sleep, Zhou Cheng stayed by her side day and night, and only left when necessary to avoid being noticed by others. The rest of the time, he stayed by Yinyin's side all the time, including eating, sleeping, etc. Zhao Ziheng was waiting the whole time, while Zhou Yan was recuperating at home due to a relapse of his injury and only paid attention to Zhao Ziheng, and did not notice Zhou Cheng's actions...
On the third day after Yin Yin woke up from a long sleep and fell into sleep again, Yin Yin woke up again.
There was no color in Yin Yin's hazily opened eyes, and her mind was blank. She felt like she had forgotten something important, but she couldn't remember it. She sat up weakly...
"ah--"
She was suddenly struck by a headache, which was caused by long sleep.
"Where is this? Where? Who am I?"
Yinyin stroked her forehead and muttered to herself. After a moment, she turned her head and looked outside the gauze curtain. She saw that the huge bedroom was empty. She wanted to know where she was, but her head still hurt badly...
"Yin Yin——"
Just when Yinyin was suffering from a headache, Zhou Cheng came in at some point. Seeing Yinyin sitting up, he excitedly opened the curtain and went inside...
"Ah, who are you?"
Yin Yin raised her head slightly, and looked at Zhou Cheng, who was standing in front of her but was very unfamiliar to her now. "What are you talking about? I am Zhou Cheng——"
Zhou Cheng sat down on the bed and supported Yin Yin, who was feeling very weak, and explained. "Zhou, Cheng?"
Yin Yin looked at Zhou Cheng, who was familiar to her but now seemed very strange, with doubt in her eyes. She couldn't help wondering, did she really know this man? This handsome, extraordinary man...
"Yin Yin?"
Zhou Cheng could tell from Yin Yin's puzzled look that Yin Yin had forgotten him. When had the woman he loved so deeply in front of him looked so weak? As if she would fall down with a slight breeze. Why were her eyes so empty? What on earth was this...
"Yin Yin? Are you talking about me?"
Yin Yin asked Zhou Cheng in front of her softly, because she knew that Zhou Cheng was talking to her. At the same time, she was wondering why this stranger Zhou Cheng in front of her had such a bitter expression?
"Have you forgotten?"
From Yinyin's words and her expression, Zhou Cheng confirmed that Yinyin had forgotten everything. To Yinyin now, Zhou Cheng's words were too complicated and made her confused, but the only thing she was sure of was that the person in front of her knew her...
"Yin Yin——"
Seeing Yinyin so weak and confused, Zhou Cheng could no longer suppress himself and hugged her tightly...
