Chapter 396 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu 7
That night, Zhou Shengchen unexpectedly had a fever.

Ling Xi asked someone to boil medicine and change the dressing for him. It was not until almost dawn, when his body temperature had completely dropped, that she felt relieved.

Early the next morning, Zhou Shengchen woke up from his coma.

There were candles burning in the tent, and sunlight coming in through the small windows on the tent, making the entire tent bright and transparent.

Zhou Shengchen moved his hand slightly and found that there was a person lying on his left side, sleeping soundly.

He lowered his eyes and was stunned for a moment.

The young girl has picturesque eyes and eyebrows, and one can already see her future beauty. When she closes her eyes and falls asleep, she looks particularly well-behaved, which makes people's hearts soften.

What puzzled Zhou Shengchen was how come the person he had met half a month ago and thought he would never see again suddenly appeared in his tent.

His last consciousness was when an enemy arrow pierced his arm, and then he lost consciousness.

Zhou Shengchen thought for a while and guessed that the arrow was poisoned. Now it seems that it was Ling Xi who saved him.

After figuring everything out, Zhou Shengchen's gaze fell on Ling Xi's face. He stared at her for a long time. Finally, a faint smile appeared on his elegant and gentle face.

At this time, Hong Xiaoyu and a military doctor walked in from outside the tent.

Hong Xiaoyu was overjoyed to see Zhou Shengchen woke up, and was about to speak immediately, but Zhou Shengchen raised his hand to stop him.

Hong Xiaoyu looked at Ling Xi, seemed to understand something, and quickly stopped talking, planning to talk to Zhou Shengchen again after a while.

Hearing footsteps, Ling Xi woke up in a daze.

She opened her eyes, rubbed them with her hands, and then met Zhou Shengchen's gaze.

It seemed that she had not yet fully woken up, and her consciousness was still a little dazed.

There were a few strands of hair scattered on her forehead and a single hair on her head, which made her even cuter in Zhou Shengchen's eyes.

Zhou Shengchen's eyes were smiling, and his voice was as clear and pleasant as spring water. "Awake?"

After regaining consciousness, Ling Xi panicked and immediately jumped up from the bed, moving hurriedly and with a look of panic and helplessness.

After standing still, she bowed to Zhou Shengchen and said, "Ling Xi greets the prince."

Zhou Shengchen asked Hong Xiaoyu to help Ling Xi up. He had a gentle smile on his face and his eyes were filled with a faint light.

"I'm not some man-eating monster. Why are you so scared? Besides, you saved me this time. You are my benefactor. I should be the one to show my respect to you."

Ling Xi pinched her fingers, but she was puzzled about how Zhou Shengchen called himself in front of her.

It is I, not the King, who is such a good person.

Ling Xi smiled lightly, and her calm eyes became lively in an instant, "Your Highness, you are welcome. It is my duty to cure illnesses and save lives."

Zhou Shengchen: "No matter what, you saved me, I should repay you. Please stay in the Nanchen King's army for a few more days, Miss Ling Xi, so that I can thank you properly."

Ling Xi: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Without continuing the topic, Ling Xi said, "Since the prince has woken up, I will check his pulse to see how he is doing."

Zhou Shengchen stretched out his hand and nodded slightly to Ling Xi: "Thank you for your help."

Ling Xi walked to the bedside again and put a handkerchief on Zhou Shengchen's wrist, separating the two of them from each other. She put her hand on Zhou Shengchen's wrist and began to take her pulse.

Even through a handkerchief, Zhou Shengchen could still feel Ling Xi's fingertips, warm and soft. After a while, Ling Xi reached back and took the handkerchief back. After standing up, he said to Zhou Shengchen and Hong Xiaoyu: "The prince is fine now. The remaining poison in his body can be cleared away by drinking a few more doses of medicine."

When Hong Xiaoyu heard Ling Xi's words, he finally smiled.

"Great, Master, you're okay."

Zhou Shengchen's expression didn't change much after hearing this. He could feel that there was nothing wrong with his body.

Hong Xiaoyu put his arm around Ling Xi's shoulders and said, "Sister Ling Xi, your medical skills are really amazing. I am so grateful to you this time."

Ling Xi said softly: "Thank you Sister Xiaoyu for the compliment. I just did what I should do."

People who are good-looking and humble are likable wherever they go. At this moment, Hong Xiaoyu's liking for Ling Xi deepened.

At this moment, she completely regarded Ling Xi as her own little sister.

Seeing the dark blue in Ling Xi's eyes, Zhou Shengchen said in a gentle voice: "Xiao Yu, take Ling Xi to the tent to rest. She has been watching me all night and must be tired."

After Zhou Shengchen said this, Hong Xiaoyu also noticed the dark circles under Ling Xi's eyes.

"Yes, Master."

Then, she took Ling Xi out, and Ling Xi only had time to say "goodbye" to Zhou Shengchen.

After Ling Xi and Hong Xiaoyu left the tent, Xie Chong walked in.

Seeing Xie Chong coming, the military doctor guessed that they had something to say, and wisely retreated.

Xie Chong stood in front of the window, looked at Zhou Shengchen, and said, "Your Highness, you have suffered a lot this time."

Zhou Shengchen sat up and Xie Chong quickly helped him up.

"I was indeed careless this time. I didn't expect them to use poison arrows."

Zhou Shengchen smiled and said, "Military Advisor, does this count as a close call with death?"

Xie Chong pretended to be angry and said unhappily: "Your Highness, you were almost going to see the King of Hell. Fortunately, Miss Ling Xi's medical skills were excellent and she brought you back."

Xie Chong has been with Zhou Shengchen for many years and has been watching him since they came to Zhongzhou. He is considered an elder and a military advisor. Naturally, he can't bear to see Zhou Shengchen looking nonchalant even after surviving a calamity.

Zhou Shengchen chuckled: "This time, it's all thanks to Ling Xi. But, Military Advisor, what kind of poison did I get that even the military doctors can't cure it?"

When this matter was mentioned, Xie Chong's face turned ugly, and there was a bit of sadness in his eyes.

He said, "Your Highness was poisoned by Luoyan Sand this time, one of the most powerful poisons. If you hadn't been fed the detoxification pill sent by Miss Ling Xi, and Tianxing and Xiaoyu hadn't rushed to fetch Miss Ling Xi, the poison would have been detoxified in time and your life would have been saved."

When Zhou Shengchen heard Xie Chong say that he was hit by Luoyan Sand, he was completely stunned.

This is because Luoyansha is not an ordinary poison. It is one of the secret medicines of the Northern Chen royal family, and it is not passed on to outsiders.

Although he abandoned the royal surname, he was still a member of the royal family and knew some secrets of the royal family, including these secret medicines.

This Luoyan Sand is extremely toxic and attacks quickly. If the poison is not detoxified within three days, the person will surely die. However, when the poison attacks, there will not be much pain and the person will die peacefully.

Meeting Xie Chong's meaningful eyes, Zhou Shengchen was unwilling to think further.

There are some things that you cannot think about.

Because it will make people feel chilled to the bone, as if they were immersed in ice water.
