Flowers bloom without worries

Chapter 10: Getting to Know Yourself

After Xiao Chuhan left, Ye Lanxi's heart, which was hanging due to tension and anxiety, finally found temporary peace. At this moment, she was exhausted physically and mentally, and she was eager to escape from reality and find a place where she could temporarily forget her troubles. Gradually, Ye Lanxi's consciousness began to blur and she sank into a dark dream.

Ye Lanxi fell into a deep sleep, her dreams were full of strange scenes and inexplicable emotions. She seemed to be in an unknown world, constantly shuttling through various scenes, trying to find a trace of familiarity. However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not see those vague memory fragments clearly, nor could she touch what she really wanted.

"Why hasn't the Queen woken up yet?"

"Your Majesty, the Queen hasn't had a good rest for too long."

"So, I fell asleep."

"Go back."

"My minister retire."

Xiao Chuhan sat next to Ye Lanxi, looked at her, and reached out to gently touch her face. Ye Lanxi's brows were furrowed, and she looked very painful.

"You'er, what should I do?"

"Are you so unwilling to wake up and face me?"

Xiao Chuhan gently kissed Ye Lanxi on the forehead, then stood up and left.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Lanxi finally woke up from her deep sleep. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked around at the strange yet familiar environment in confusion. The air was filled with a faint floral scent, and the sunlight shone through the window, warm and bright. She touched her forehead, where the warmth left by Xiao Chuhan still remained.

Ye Lanxi recalled what Xiao Chuhan said to her when he left. Those doubts and confusions intertwined into a complex emotional web in her heart. Ye Lanxi didn't understand what kind of person Xiao Chuhan was? Why did he hate her so much, but also lend a helping hand when she needed it most? The answers to these questions seemed to be hidden in the depths of her memories that she could not reach.

Ye Lanxi struggled to get up from the bed. Her whole body was sore and every step felt like walking on cotton. She endured the pain and slowly walked to the mirror and sat down. The mirror reflected a strange yet familiar face, which had an indescribable beauty and tenacity. Even though her face looked a little haggard, it could not hide her stunning beauty. Her eyes were bright and energetic, her eyebrows were well-shaped, her nose was straight, and there were dimples on her cheeks. She was extremely beautiful. The sunlight on her face made her complexion look crystal clear, soft like jade, and her skin was unusually white, while her eyes contained a deep blue like the sea.

Ye Lanxi stared at herself in the mirror, feeling an inexplicable sigh in her heart. "So beautiful..." She whispered to herself, but her heart was full of doubts, "How could he bear to hurt you?"

At this time, Jiuer, the maidservant who had been accompanying Ye Wuyou, came in with a bowl. Seeing that Ye Wuyou, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, had woken up, Jiuer was surprised and happy. She put down the medicine bowl in her hand and walked excitedly to Ye Lanxi's side, overjoyed: "My queen, you finally woke up, it's great!"

Ye Lanxi came back to her senses and looked at the excited woman beside her and asked confusedly: "You are..."

Seeing this, Jiuer quickly restrained her emotions and replied softly: "My queen, I am Jiuer. Jiuer, your personal maid from childhood to adulthood, has been waiting for you to wake up."

After hearing Jiuer's answer, Ye Lanxi suddenly realized: "It turned out to be you, Jiuer. I remember you."

Ye Lanxi paused and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Did I make you worried?"

Jiuer's eyes turned red when she heard Ye Lanxi's words, and her voice was filled with tears: "I'm glad you're okay, Madam. You worried me so much."

Jiuer carefully raised her sleeve to wipe the corners of her eyes and continued, "Your Majesty, you have been in a coma for a full half month. During this period, the emperor and the imperial doctors have been taking good care of you."

"Half a month, slept for so long?"

"Well, Jiuer is very afraid of the queen..."

Ye Lanxi didn't expect that she had slept for so long. Now that she was awake, what should she do? Ye Lanxi was deeply entangled. She didn't know how to face Xiao Chuhan.

"My lady, let's drink the medicine first."

"it is good."

After Ye Lanxi drank the medicine, she felt very uncomfortable all over.

"Jiu'er."

"My lady, if you have any instructions, please tell me."

"I slept for so long, I feel really uncomfortable when I want to take a shower."

Jiuer hesitated for a moment but still shook her head firmly: "Your Highness cannot take a bath now because the wounds on your body have not healed completely and you need to apply medicine every day."

Jiuer explained softly, "You can take a bath after the wound has healed to avoid infection."

Jiuer's eyes turned red, tears welled up in her eyes. Ye Lanxi understood and comforted Jiuer: "I know, Jiuer, don't be sad, dear."

Ye Lanxi looked at Jiuer's red eyes and a warm current surged in her heart as she continued, "Jiuer, come over and apply medicine to me, and then change your clothes. I want to feel more comfortable."

Jiuer nodded at Ye Lanxi, turned around and left to prepare new clothes and medicine to apply on her body.
