The feeling of a brief disappearance of his five senses and six senses came back again. Xiao Tong frowned and opened his eyes. His vision returned and he found himself in the strange white room again.

But this time, there was only one person left in the white room.

"This patient's brain activity has been very high recently and he may be waking up.

Pay close attention to the situation during daily ward rounds."

Listening to the reminder of the woman in white strange clothes in this strange room, Xiao Tong's eyes fell on the two women dressed in the same way behind this person.

These three people seemed to be serving the person on the bed.

But his attitude is much more casual than that of a slave.

Seeing the woman who had just finished speaking check a pile of colorful things, holding a board and leaving with the other two, Xiao Tong was deeply puzzled and his brows were deeply knotted.

He controlled his body and moved closer to the bed, and the half face that was deeply engraved in his memory came into view again.

For some reason, every time Xiao Tong appeared in this room and saw the person on the bed, his heart ached.

Especially when he saw the tubes in her body that seemed to be maintaining her life, Xiao Tong felt difficulty breathing and his whole body was cold.

Looking at the pair of tightly closed eyes and gray eyebrows, Xiao Tong couldn't help but reach out his hand even though he knew he couldn't touch the person in front of him at the moment.

He wanted to take off the mask on this person's face and take a complete look at her appearance.

But when Xiao Tong stretched out his fingers, he penetrated the human face and only touched nothingness.

Xiao Tong completely understood that he was just a wandering soul here and could do nothing.

Giving up the action, in this white and silent space, Xiao Tong forced himself to take his eyes off the woman's face and carefully observe everything around him.

But there were so many strange and surprising things that even though he tried to remember them all, he still couldn't engrave every one of them in his mind.

Before his consciousness faded, Xiao Tong suddenly saw a tear in the corner of the woman's eye on the bed, and the finger on his side moved.

Xiao Tong was shocked.

she……

Can you sense your own existence?

Xiao Tong slept for only two hours before he suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness. The heavy breathing mixed with the breathing of the person in his arms made Xiao Tong's mind temporarily confused.

His heart was pounding wildly. Xiao Tong raised his hand to press his aching chest. His eyes fell on the delicate frown on the face in his arms. His breathing became disordered.

"wave.

wave?"

Jiang Wumei's breathing was slow but heavy, and her expression was painful. It was obvious that she was in a nightmare. Thinking of what he had just experienced, Xiao Tong called for help without thinking.

He called out three or four times, but the person in his arms showed no sign of waking up. Xiao Tong's heart sank, and he remembered what Zhong Lechen had said in the Zen temple today. He immediately took out the two amulets from under their pillows and threw them on the ground.

"Niao Niao, Niao Niao?"

Strangely enough, after the amulet was thrown, Jiang Wumei, who had not been awakened just now, slowly opened her eyes. However, the remaining anxiety and shock in her eyes deeply hurt Xiao Tong's heart.

"Xiao Tong."

Jiang Wumei was frightened by the dream that was too real just now, so when she saw Xiao Tong at this moment, she called out his name uncertainly.

Xiao Tong didn't care at all, hugged the person tightly, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"I'm here.

Niaoniao, what's wrong with you?

Was it a nightmare?"

The man's body temperature was burning hot, and the big hand holding Jiang Wumei seemed to have ignited a fire, burning from her skin all the way to her limbs.

Driven by this warmth, Jiang Wumei was shocked to realize that she had escaped from the nightmare and returned to this conscious world.

"Xiao Tong, Xiao Tong."

Jiang Wumei did not answer him, but instead hugged Xiao Tong tighter.

She rarely lost her composure like this, which made Xiao Tong even more worried.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a dream. When you wake up, the nightmare will be gone."

Holding the person tighter, Xiao Tong tried to comfort him, but his dark eyes fell on the amulet he had thrown on the ground.

……

"Master Liaochen, the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine have returned to the palace with the young prince."

Before dawn, the monk came to Chenchan Temple to inform them of the matter.

Liaochen was meditating in the room. A small firefly flickered and cast a shadow on his face.

Lechen remained in this posture. The monk didn't hear any human voice for a long time, so he turned around and walked out of the Zen temple.

When he returned to the palace from the Huguo Temple, it was not yet time for Xiao Tong to attend court.

Jiang Wumei had the child sent back to the bedroom, and she leaned against the headboard of the bed in a daze, unable to sleep.

Xiao Tong entered the hall with the morning chill, and saw that she was absent-minded, with her dark eyes gradually darkening.

It seems that he has to go to Huguo Temple again in the next two days.

"Your Majesty, several ministers are kneeling outside the archway and request to see you."

Zhao Qi reported outside the palace in the dark.

Jiang Wumei looked up when she heard the voice and met Xiao Tong's concerned eyes.

Only then did she realize that she had been in poor condition since returning to the palace, and she was afraid that Xiao Tong had been worried.

"Your Majesty, please go and get busy first.

I have Qingzhi here to keep me company, and I want to sleep a little longer."

Qingzhi, who had just woken up and rushed to serve, squatted down and saluted Xiao Tong. Xiao Tong hummed, stepped forward and kissed Jiang Wumei on the cheek, and said softly:

"I'll be back with you as soon as possible."

"Court affairs are more important. Your Majesty, please don't worry about me. I'm fine."

Jiang Wumei felt a little warm in her heart, and she didn't want Xiao Tong to feel uneasy when he went out to handle government affairs.

"I feel much better now. Your Majesty, please go quickly."

Xiao Tong didn't say anything, just looked at Jiang Wumei deeply, wondering what he was thinking.

After a moment, Xiao Tong gently pinched Jiang Wumei's palm, looked at her seriously, turned around and strode away.

Watching Xiao Tong walk out of the bedroom, Jiang Wumei withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyes, and a faint sense of uneasiness shrouded her whole body.

Qingzhi saw everything and knew that his queen had no intention of sleeping again, so he asked the palace maids to light up all the copper candlesticks in Fengwu Palace.

The hall was as bright as day.

The gloom that weighed on Jiang Wumei's heart was also dispelled a little by these lights.

Qingzhi walked forward, took off Jiang Wumei's shoes and socks, helped her to lean on the bed, and asked in a low voice:

"My lady, it's still early, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Jiang Wumei wanted to shake her head, but then she thought it was pointless to just sit there, so she nodded.

"I'll lie down for a while. If An'er wakes up, you can call me."

Qingzhi nodded, prepared a soft, warm and clean towel, asked Jiang Wumei to wipe her slightly, and then helped her lie down.

Jiang Wumei thought she couldn't sleep, but soon after Qingzhi left the bedside, she stared at the copper candlestick not far from the bedside, looking at the flickering burning candlelight, and closed her eyes after a while.

Qingzhi had been guarding in the hall. Seeing that Jiang Wumei's breathing had become steady, he walked lightly to the door of the bedroom and gestured outside.

When the palace maid standing outside the hall saw this, she squatted down and gestured to Qingzhi, then walked away from the bedroom with light steps.

Jiang Wumei slept very deeply that time. When she woke up again, it was already past noon. The bright sunlight shining into the bedroom made her squint involuntarily.

Xiao Tong was delayed by court affairs today and could not return to Fengwu Palace to have lunch with Jiang Wumei.

A quarter of an hour ago, the eunuch who delivered the message just left.

Seeing that it was nothing serious, Qingzhi did not wake up Jiang Wumei. After hearing the noise of Jiang Wumei waking up in the hall, Qingzhi brought people into the hall to serve her.
