It was already late. On the third night, the medicine had not been delivered yet. Lu Jiaoyue was giving Shi Wanyue acupuncture to detoxify her in the house. The medicine had to be delivered within three days and the risk was too great. Lu Jiaoyue did not dare to put all her hopes on it. In the past few days, she also studied other methods of detoxification.

It would be better if there was medicine, but if not, at least the person could be saved.

Wen Zhimiao was still keeping an eye on the news about the medicine. It would take at least two and a half days to send someone over here and then send it back, which would take five days to go back and forth.

But Wen Zhimiao knew that some people probably didn't want the medicine to be sent back.

These days, she even sent people to protect Lu Jiaoyue.

An assassination attempt in the palace sounds unlikely, but Wen Zhimiao doesn't want any more accidents to happen.

Lu Jiaoyue walked out after giving acupuncture to Master Wanyue.

"What's the situation?" Wen Zhimiao asked as soon as he saw her.

"It's better than yesterday. If the medicine can't be delivered in time, the poison can be slowly expelled, but..."

Lu Jiaoyue hesitated for a moment, bowed her hands, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid it will leave some roots of disease."

Wen Zhimiao's eyes suddenly turned colder: "The medicine will be sent back in time."

Lu Jiaoyue knew what was going on and didn't dare to say or ask too much. Getting the medicine was not her responsibility, so she could only wait and try her best to ease Shi Wanyue's situation.

"Sister can't wake up even if the poison is not cured?" Wen Zhimiao asked.

Lu Jiaoyue shook her head and said, "Master, the reason why you haven't woken up yet is not because of the poison, but because of the head injury. I have been giving you acupuncture every day these days. Today, it seems that your condition has improved a lot. Maybe you will wake up tomorrow."

"Has the blood clot in the head dissipated?" Wen Zhimiao asked anxiously.

Lu Jiaoyue shook her head: "I can't guarantee it."

After hearing her answer, Wen Zhimiao realized that he was putting people in a difficult position. No matter how strong Lu Jiaoyue's medical skills were, she couldn't see what was going on inside the brain.

"Go down, maybe I can go take a look?"

"Your Majesty, please." Lu Jiaoyue stepped aside and invited her in.

Wen Zhimiao hurried into the inner room and sat down beside the bed again. Looking at Shi Wanyue who was still lying on the bed, Wen Zhimiao held her hand and continued to accompany her.

Lu Jiaoyue left, and soon the people from the Imperial Hospital brought the medicine over. Wen Zhimiao personally fed the medicine to Shi Wanyue.

When the moon was at its zenith, Wen Zhimiao could no longer bear the sleepiness.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep on the recliner.

When Shi Wanyue woke up, she only felt dry mouth and tongue. She moved her fingers, and her fingertips touched Wen Zhimiao's hand. Shi Wanyue immediately felt a lot more at ease.

But she felt that the bedroom seemed particularly dark tonight. She couldn't see her hand in front of her face and couldn't see anything.

Shi Wanyue wanted to sit up, but she had many injuries on her body and it hurt whenever she moved.

Wen Zhimiao heard some noise in a daze and quickly sat up.

She felt Shi Wanyue holding her hand tightly, and Wen Zhimiao quickly stood up: "Sister, are you awake?"

Shi Wanyue held Wen Zhimiao's hand and reassured her: "Well, she's awake. Don't worry too much, Miaomiao."

"I'll ask Dean Lu to come and see if your sister is feeling unwell anywhere else?" Wen Zhimiao's voice was still a little nervous, and Shi Wanyue could hear it.

"I feel a little pain, but nothing else."

"Where's your head? Does it hurt?" Wen Zhimiao asked softly.

Shi Wanyue shook her head: "It doesn't hurt."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something and unconsciously tightened her grip on Wen Zhimiao's hand. After a while, Shi Wanyue said softly, "I want to drink some water."

"I'll pour it for you." Wen Zhimiao immediately poured warm water for Shi Wanyue.

"Sister, here, can you take it?" Wen Zhimiao asked softly.

Shi Wanyue did not stretch out her hand. She quietly closed her hand hidden under the quilt. She looked in the direction of Wen Zhimiao with lifeless eyes.

The long silence made Wen Zhimiao feel uneasy.

"Sister..." Wen Zhimiao's throat tightened: "Can't you see it?"

She waved her hand in front of Shi Wanyue, but Shi Wanyue did not respond at all.

Wen Zhimiao bit her lower lip tightly, suddenly at a loss for what to do.

"Well, I can't see it." Shi Wanyue tried to make her tone calmer.

"Miao Miao, feed me." A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Wen Zhimiao immediately agreed: "Okay..."

She supported Shi Wanyue and slowly fed her water.

Lu Jiaoyue had not arrived yet. Wen Zhimiao was sitting beside the bed, with Shi Wanyue leaning in her arms.

Wen Zhimiao didn't know how to comfort her, and Shi Wanyue had not yet recovered from the fact that she was blind.

"How many days have I slept?" Shi Wanyue was silent for a long time, and then finally asked.

"Three days, it's late at night now." Wen Zhimiao hugged her and whispered, "It will be fine."

Shi Wanyue didn’t know if this would be okay, and could only rely on Wen Zhimiao to find a little peace of mind.

Lu Jiaoyue hurried over and Wen Zhimiao made way for her.

She stood by and watched Lu Jiaoyue diagnose Shi Wanyue, took her pulse and checked her eyes, and asked Shi Wanyue some questions.

Wen Zhimiao didn't understand medicine and didn't understand the meaning of asking these questions, so he could only watch and wait.

After a long wait, Lu Jiaoyue finally stood up again and breathed a sigh of relief visibly.

"Master, your blindness is only temporary. Just cooperate with the treatment and you will be able to see again in a month at most."

Hearing her words, Wen Zhimiao and Shi Wanyue also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Really?" Wen Zhimiao asked again.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have treated several patients like this. They are not completely blind, but only temporarily blinded by a blow to the head."

She said a lot, and Wen Zhimiao only half understood it. In the end, he only remembered that he could regain his sight.

Lu Jiaoyue gave Shi Wanyue acupuncture and boiled medicine, and asked the kitchen to prepare some nourishing meals.

By the time I finished my work, it was almost dawn.

Wen Zhimiao stayed with Shi Wanyue until she finished eating and took the medicine.

As the medicine took effect, Shi Wanyue felt sleepy again. Wen Zhimiao held her in his arms and lay down, sleeping with her again.

But Wen Zhimiao got up again as soon as the sky got light. In her dream, she saw Shi Wanyue covered in blood, and she woke up immediately.

With sweat on his forehead, Wen Zhimiao sat up with heavy breathing, and only felt relieved when he saw Shi Wanyue beside him.

She lowered her head and kissed Shi Wanyue, her eyes firm: "I won't let you get hurt again."

Wen Zhimiao would rather get hurt again than let Shi Wanyue get hurt like this.

She got up and took a bath. Just after she changed her clothes, Xiangnan came over and said that Shi Guanchao and the Minister of the Central Secretariat had come to the palace together.

The old man, the Minister of the Central Secretariat, has not retired yet. Wen Zhimiao used to hate him, but now she understands that although this old man is stubborn and pedantic, he is much better than many people. At least he truly cares about the people of the world.

Wen Zhimiao put on his hair crown and went to the front hall to meet the two men. The two men came today for court matters, and it was impossible for Wen Zhimiao not to see them.

However, it was early in the morning and Wen Zhimiao had not eaten anything yet, so he invited the two to have breakfast together and chat while eating.

The Minister of the Central Secretariat used to think that the new emperor was too erratic, but now he is sincerely assisting him.

After all, Wen Zhimiao's ability and benevolence were obvious to all during the years he served as regent.

After discussing state affairs with the two of them, Wen Zhimiao prepared to return to the palace, and by the way informed Shi Guanchao and Shi Wanyue of their conditions.

The Minister of the Central Secretariat left the palace alone first, and Shi Guanchao followed Wen Zhimiao back to the bedroom.
