Chapter 64 "I will stay here and accompany the Queen."
"Are you... alright?" Murong Yi, who had been sitting silently watching her, finally spoke softly, his voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible concern and worry. His gaze was fixed on her, as if trying to take in every detail of her condition. "I heard you suddenly fainted. Are you feeling unwell?"
At this moment, a white-haired doctor stroked his beard, a faint smile on his face, and said, "Your Highness need not worry, the Princess is fine. In my opinion, the Princess may have caught a cold, and coupled with her recent fatigue, her blood circulation has become sluggish, causing her to faint. I will prescribe some medicine for the Princess in a moment. She just needs to take it on time, rest well, and recuperate." The doctor's words made Murong Yi breathe a slight sigh of relief, but his brows remained slightly furrowed, and his gaze never left Lin Qianqian.
Lin Qianqian's eyes were slightly unfocused, as if she was still trapped in the hazy intersection of dream and reality. Her expression was dazed, and her mind seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog. She was dizzy and her perception of the outside world had become sluggish. She was clearly still in a daze.
Murong Yi gazed at her silently, his deep eyes like unfathomable pools, making it difficult to discern his emotions. His silent gaze was filled with complex feelings, a mixture of worry, contemplation, and a hint of concern that even he himself was unaware of.
Lin Qianqian was preoccupied with the pain and sorrow of parting from her family in her dream, and had no time to pay attention to the conversation between Murong Yi and the doctor.
Hearing what the doctor said, Xiaodie's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. Her tightly furrowed brows eased slightly, and her anxious expression gradually faded. However, the trace of worry that remained in her eyes revealed that her concern for her young mistress had not completely dissipated.
Xiaodie clung tightly to Lin Qianqian, her face filled with fear and confusion. She mumbled, "Miss, you really scared me just now. While you were unconscious, you kept calling out 'Let me go, please,' and kept saying you wanted to be with someone. Miss, what's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare? Or..." Xiaodie hesitated, her eyes gleaming with unease. She couldn't understand what could have caused her mistress to lose control like this while unconscious, struggling and pleading in such pain.
Upon hearing Xiaodie's words, a glint seemed to flash in the depths of Lin Qianqian's eyes. She then widened her eyes, her gaze filled with panic and shock, as if the most vulnerable and hidden corner of her heart had been touched.
Ignoring her weakness, she abruptly sat up in bed, dragging her leaden, exhausted body, and staggered towards the door, her steps unsteady yet filled with a resolute determination. She kept muttering, "Dad, Mom, Xiao Wan, where are you? Don't leave me!"
At this moment, she was like a lost and frightened fawn, running around the room in a panic, her eyes wandering and filled with fear, her hands waving unconsciously in the air, as if trying to grab onto her unreachable loved ones.
Her emotions completely spiraled out of control. Her gentle demeanor vanished, replaced by endless madness and despair. Her appearance left everyone bewildered, watching her frantically wander around the room, unsure of what to do.
Xiao Die was terrified by Lin Qianqian's appearance and cried out in a tearful voice, "Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you?"
The doctor also looked alarmed, his hand stroking his beard trembling slightly, and he murmured, "This...this is a disease I have never seen before, it doesn't seem to be caused by a simple cold."
Ah Fu was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet, but he was at a loss for what to do.
Murong Yi frowned, his eyes filled with worry and confusion. He rushed forward and grabbed Lin Qianqian's flailing arms tightly, his voice excited and serious: "Lin Qianqian, calm down! Look where you are, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Qianqian's gaze focused on Murong Yi's face. She was stunned for only a moment, as if she had used all her strength to recognize the person in front of her. Then, her legs went weak and she fainted again, falling straight into Murong Yi's arms.
Murong Yi was extremely anxious. He carefully picked up Lin Qianqian and placed her on the bed. Then he turned around and said to everyone with a cold expression, "You may all leave first. I will stay here to accompany the Princess."
The crowd exchanged glances, but dared not disobey, and could only silently retreat. Only Murong Yi remained in the room, guarding Lin Qianqian's bedside. He stared at her pale face, his heart filled with doubt and unease, pondering the reason for Lin Qianqian's loss of composure.
