Chapter 537 Rescued
When he opened his eyes again, Zhou Chang's consciousness regained control, while Feng Ming's consciousness seemed to still be asleep.
She didn't die.
The light around was dim and I couldn't tell the time.
Zhou Chang tried hard to turn his head and look around.
At this moment, she seemed to be lying on a wooden bed in an inn.
I subconsciously grabbed my chest, but there was nothing.
My heart suddenly felt empty and I sat up from the bed.
"Hiss..." The knife wound on the right side of his neck was pulled, causing a tearing pain.
"Your Highness, are you awake?" A voice came from the direction of the bed.
“Mr. Mei?” Zhou Chang covered his neck with one hand, and turned his head to find someone standing by the bed. He recognized him at a glance, but when he opened his mouth, his throat was dry and hoarse, as if it was tearing. “Cough, cough, cough…”
Mei Sheng had a handsome face, and his sparkling little deer eyes were filled with nervousness and concern: "Your Highness, it's good that you wake up. The doctor said that as long as you wake up, you should be fine."
Mei Sheng seemed a little at a loss. He stretched out his hands to look at the wound on Zhou Chang's neck, but he didn't dare to. He wanted to do something, but he didn't know what to do.
After he finished speaking, he stood there awkwardly.
Zhou Chang just covered his neck and moved his stiff body. He felt that the wound had been bandaged and went to check if there was anything else wrong with his body.
After a while, Mei Sheng finally came to his senses. He turned to the table and poured a bowl of water over to him. "Your Highness, drink some water to moisten your throat. You had a fever all night last night."
"Last night?" Zhou Chang took the bowl and drank, his throat was really burning.
"It was last night. His Highness has been in a coma for a whole day and a night..." Mei Sheng stood beside the bed and was about to reach out to touch Zhou Chang's forehead, but he retracted his hand halfway.
"It was you who saved me and bandaged my wounds?" Zhou Chang drank some water to relieve his throat, then he looked around the room further.
The room in this inn is not big and a bit simple. There is only a bed, a table and two benches in the room.
Mei Sheng did not answer directly, but just stared at Zhou Chang's face and asked: "Your Highness, do you feel better? The knife wound on your neck is not serious. The doctor said it is only on the surface and will not leave scars in the future. Is your Highness feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Do you need anything?"
Zhou Chang had just checked his body. He had a fever, was weak, and had some shortness of breath, but they were not serious problems. He just said, "Not bad."
"It's all right..." Mei Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Highness, please wait a moment. Mei Sheng will go get you some stomach-warming porridge."
Zhou Chang then noticed that Mei Sheng looked haggard and had big dark circles around his eyes, probably because he had been guarding her for two days and one night.
Just as I was about to say something, Mei Sheng turned around and left the room, closing the door gently.
Zhou Chang was the only one left in the room.
The body is hot, but it should still be a low-grade fever.
Zhou Chang lifted the quilt and saw that all his clothes had been changed.
It was probably Meisheng who helped her change her clothes.
Just as I thought of this, Prince Yi Fengming's consciousness popped up to remind me.
Zhou Chang felt empty in his heart, and he thought of the jade pendant and looked around frantically for it.
He felt around left and right and finally found it next to the pillow. He felt relieved and held the jade pendant against his heart.
This jade pendant is no longer the one she stepped on, the one she disliked, the one she didn't care about...
This is the jade pendant that has accompanied her through life and death.
However, no matter how hard I tried, it seemed as if my head was hit by something.
As for later on, he seemed to be rescued by someone... but his consciousness was very vague. He seemed to be trying desperately to open his eyes, but couldn't.
After that, he was carried around, and someone could be heard shouting, "Your Highness, Your Highness..."
Now that I think about it, it must have been Mei Sheng’s voice, but I can’t remember what happened after that.
While Zhou Chang was reminiscing, Mei Sheng pushed the door open again.
She then put the jade pendant back into her arms.
Meisheng walked into the room, holding a tray in his hand. On the tray was a bowl of porridge and a side dish.
"The inn is simple and there is nothing else. Your Highness, please have some porridge first." Mei Sheng couldn't help blushing again as he spoke.
Zhou Chang didn't pay much attention, still thinking about his own question: "Mei Sheng, where is this place?"
Mei Sheng did not answer. Instead, he placed the tray on the chair where he had just sat, brought the bowl of porridge over, scooped some porridge with a spoon, carefully tested the temperature before passing it to Zhou Chang: "Your Highness, please eat a little first. I will find a way to buy some delicious food tomorrow."
Zhou Chang had no appetite at all and asked again: "Where is this?"
Mei Sheng had no choice but to answer: "This is a dock inn along the Jinmin River. Yesterday, something happened in a hurry, so Mei Sheng could only move His Highness here temporarily."
"Where are they?" Zhou Chang asked again.
"Your Highness, are you asking about the people around you?" Mei Sheng never put down his spoon. "When I rescued Your Highness yesterday, I didn't see any other boats around."
Zhou Chang subconsciously ate a spoonful of porridge from his hand. It was just ordinary glutinous rice porridge without any taste. But as soon as he swallowed a mouthful of porridge, his stomach suddenly felt better and his brain started to work: "How is it possible? Their ship should be following behind."
Mei Sheng seemed to want to say something but stopped himself and did not respond. He scooped another spoonful of porridge and fed it to Zhou Chang.
Zhou Chang thought Mei Sheng probably didn't know either, so he took a few more bites from his hand.
After eating half a bowl of porridge, he remembered to ask: "Have you heard that someone is looking for me?"
Mei Sheng shook his head silently, but was afraid that the porridge would be tasteless, so he mixed some side dishes into the porridge and continued to feed it to Zhou Chang.
Zhou Chang felt something was wrong and stopped eating his porridge: "After all, I am the 'Grand Prime Minister' appointed by His Majesty. How come no one is looking for me when I fell into the water and disappeared?"
Mei Sheng then sighed and explained helplessly: "Your Highness, when I rescued you yesterday, I was really surprised and shocked. Besides being shocked, I couldn't help but wonder if someone wanted to harm you, so I didn't dare to say anything. I asked the boatman for help all the way and then I moved in. Now here, no one knows your identity. Maybe your followers are still looking for you, but Mei Sheng... Mei Sheng just hopes that your Highness can wake up soon."
"I see. You've been working hard these past two days." Zhou Chang felt apologetic. She was a little impatient. She ate the porridge from Mei Sheng's hand. "If that's the case, you're right to worry. Don't call me Your Highness. Just call me 'Mr. Zhou' like before."
"Okay, Mr. Zhou..." Meisheng smiled sweetly and lowered his head shyly.
Zhou Chang ate two more mouthfuls of porridge and couldn't eat any more. He still felt hot, probably because of the aftereffects of falling into the water.
After changing the address, Meisheng was obviously more relaxed. He cleared the dishes and was about to take them out: "Mr. Zhou, if you want to eat anything else tonight, Meisheng will find a way to ask the store to prepare it for you."
"Wait, where are you going? Where are my clothes?" Zhou Chang looked around but there was no trace of his clothes.
