Shen Qingxu woke up three days later.

When she saw Shen Qiuchi sitting beside her bed and reviewing memorials, she suspected that she was dreaming.

“Sister…sister…”

Shen Qingxu wanted to speak, but found that his voice was hoarse.

"Qingxu! Qingxu, wake up! You scared me to death!"

Although Shen Qingxu did not make a loud noise, Shen Qiuchi, who had been distracted here, immediately noticed that Shen Qingxu had woken up.

She immediately put down the pen in her hand, brought some water, hugged Shen Qingxu and fed her.

"Qingxu, you scared me to death. I thought I would never see you again!" Shen Qiuchi, who was always cold, had tears in her eyes.

Tears wet the pillow beside Shen Qingxu's neck.

"Ah-ah!" Shen Qingxu stretched out his hand with difficulty.

"Drink slowly." Shen Qiuchi hurriedly brought the water over and fed it to Shen Qingxu.

After drinking the water, Shen Qingxu wanted to say something to Shen Qiuchi, but her throat was a little difficult to speak after not speaking for a long time, and she was very anxious!

"Qingxu, you should have a good rest first. When you are well rested, talk to your sister." Shen Qiuchi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Shen Qingxu was so anxious that she burst into tears and quickly pointed at paper and pen. Shen Qiuchi nodded and took the paper and pen. Shen Qingxu's hands were shaking. "Someone from the Xiao royal family wants to harm you!"

Shen Qiuchi looked at the words on the paper and stroked Shen Qingxu's back!

"Sister knows. She will be more careful. You should have a good rest!" With Shen Qiuchi's comfort, Shen Qingxu felt relieved and fell asleep again.

Everything felt so real, so her sister was not just her fantasy, she really returned to her sister!

Outside the door, Xu Xingyi, who had been kneeling for a long time, was relieved when he heard Shen Qiuchi in the room say that Shen Qingxu had woken up.

Just wake up, just wake up.

"Master Xu, the princess has woken up, and the queen asked you to go back and rest." Mei Qing walked out of the room and looked at Xu Xingyi's stubborn look, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"I won't get up. This is the punishment I deserve." Xu Xingyi shook his head.

"But you still have injuries on your body..."

"nothing!"

Seeing that Xu Xingyi was so persistent, Mei Qing stopped trying to persuade him. He shook his head helplessly and went back into the house.

"Empress, he refuses to leave." Mei Qing reported truthfully.

Shen Qiuchi nodded to show that he understood. Seeing that Shen Qingxu was sleeping soundly, he got up and walked out the door.

"Do you want to wait for Qingxu to wake up and then blame me, her elder sister, for punishing her brother?" Shen Qiuchi said in a cold voice, looking down at Xu Xingyi who was kneeling on the ground with a pale face but still with his back straight.

"I dare not. I just blame myself for not protecting Qingxu and causing her to get hurt. I deserve to be punished. I feel better kneeling here. After all, I shamelessly promised you to live!"

"You know you're being arrogant!"

“Although my injury is nothing compared to Qingxu’s.” Xu Xingyi smiled bitterly.

"Do you know now how weak you are?" Shen Qiuchi ignored Xu Xingyi's words and asked.

Xu Xingyi nodded.

He is weak.

It was precisely because he was weak that Shen Qingxu suffered such serious injuries!

"Then do you know what to do next?" Shen Qiuchi glanced at Xu Xingyi and continued, "I don't want this to happen again. I sent you to the Military Education Department and gave you so many opportunities. Don't forget your responsibilities! If there is a next time, I will not let you kneel here. If you take Qingxu out and fall into a desperate situation, I will definitely take your life!"

"I will never let Qingxu fall into danger again. Otherwise, I will kill myself without you asking me to!"

As early as when he found Shen Qingxu, Xu Xingyi secretly swore in his heart that from now on he would not let Shen Qingxu be hurt by anyone again!

Even he himself can't do it!

It was already late at night when Shen Qingxu woke up.

Shen Qiuchi stayed by Shen Qingxu's bedside, never leaving.

She was now leaning against the bed and sleeping lightly.

Shen Qingxu saw the dark circles under Shen Qiuchi's eyes and did not say anything.

As the Queen, my sister has to deal with a lot of government affairs every day, and now she has to take care of her all night long...

How can my sister's body bear this?

"Sister, let's sleep together." Shen Qingxu's voice was hoarse and unpleasant. She gently pulled Shen Qiuchi's sleeve to wake her up.

Shen Qiuchi opened his hazy eyes and did not get into bed. Instead, he asked softly, "Are you hungry? I asked the kitchen to keep the porridge warm for you. Do you want to eat some?"

Shen Qingxu shook her head and moved towards the bed with difficulty. The wounds on her body had not healed yet and she felt pain all over when she moved.

"Sister, take a rest. I'm fine. Your health is more important."

Shen Qiuchi couldn't persuade Shen Qingxu, so he got on the bed with his clothes on. He was afraid that he would accidentally touch Shen Qingxu's wound, so he just leaned against the edge of the bed with most of his body hanging in the air.

"Sister is not tired. As long as Qingxu is fine and doesn't leave sister alone, that's enough." Tears slid from the corners of Shen Qiuchi's eyes and fell onto the pillow.

This is tears of joy.

She regretted very much why she let Shen Qingxu go south!

She blamed Xu Xingyi for not protecting Shen Qingxu, blamed Yilan, and blamed Weiyu, but in fact, the person she should blame the most was herself!

"Sister, don't be sad. It was the bad guys who took me away. It has nothing to do with you." Shen Qingxu forced a smile and carefully wiped away the tears on Shen Qiuchi's face. "Sister, those people came for you and the Qianji Jue in your hand. You must be more careful!"

"Okay, sister got it!"

The two sisters laughed, but as they laughed, the light in Shen Qiuchi's eyes disappeared...

"Qingxu!"

"Imperial Physician! Call the Imperial Physician!"

She looked at Shen Qingxu who was vomiting blood in disbelief, her hands trembling, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar!

"Qingxu! Qingxu, don't scare your sister!"

"Sister...sister, I'm fine..."

As soon as Shen Qingxu spoke, a large amount of blood gushed out of her mouth.

The bed was dyed red, and also Shen Qiuchi's eyes.

The imperial physician arrived quickly.

Shen Qiuchi sat outside the door, trembling all over.

Xiao Qi and Xiao Yanyun also hurried over.

The moment he saw Shen Qiuchi, Xiao Qi hugged her in his arms without saying a word.

"Qiu Chi, I'm here, don't be afraid." Xiao Qi patted Shen Qiu Chi's back gently to comfort her.

Basin after basin of blood was brought out of the room. Everyone was anxious and uneasy, and they all prayed for Shen Qingxu.

"She was just talking to me fine, and suddenly she vomited blood!"

"Didn't the imperial physician say that everything would be fine once he woke up? How could this happen?!"

A huge panic enveloped Shen Qiuchi.

Shen Qingxu is her only relative in this world, she can't lose her again!

If anything happened to Shen Qingxu, what should she do? How should she explain to her dead mother!

"It's okay, the princess will be fine!" Xiao Qi knew that Shen Qiuchi would not listen to anything he said now, so he could only hold her and comfort her.

Xiao Yanyun also held Shen Qiuchi's hand, silently comforting her.

Finally, the dawn broke through the darkness and drove away all the haze.
