Back In Time (The Reincarnation of the Cruel Concubine)

Febrile effect

Wu Li Mei hit her head again, the grand concubine had been dogging her stupidity ever since she woke up.

The high fever suffered by Wu Li Mei, this morning began to improve. Dizziness and weakness no longer bother the woman to move as usual.

But, there was one thing that Wu Li Mei deeply regretted. That is his strange attitude when he met the emperor by the lake, the concubine thought it was the effect of a fever that made his mind turn in an uncertain direction. Wu Li Mei again sighed as she rubbed her face rough. "No! That's not me!" denying the concubine, she spoke to her reflection in the mirror.

"No! It's definitely not me." she refused. "I can't possibly be as silly as yesterday, no, of course not."

"There must have been a proper explanation for my crazy attitude yesterday."

The grand concubine flicked her finger, "The fever effect! Yeah, it must be just the fever effect. I may be acting silly in a conscious state."

"Oh! You're such a fool."

"What are you doing, Wu Li Mei!"

"You are like a foolish slave of love." The concubine continues to curse herself. In fact, he had to think that yesterday the original soul of the owner of the body possessed him. Could be, couldn't it? The real Wu Li Mei did love the emperor more than anything. But, what was inside this body now was Risa, how could the beautiful physician have fallen for the emperor.

Wu Li Mei shook her head violently to brush off the bad thoughts that were whacking her head.

Dayang Yi could only sigh softly, he looked at Lu Yan who was standing nearby. Wu Li Mei had always been a freak after waking up from illness. During the incident at the lake and at this moment, the grand concubine was busy talking to herself in front of the mirror.

To be honest, no one knows for sure what happened yesterday other than Emperor Zhou and the concubine himself. The ladies and guards were ordered to face backwards.

When Wu Li Mei asked, Dayang Yi could only shake his head, as far as he could see Wu Li Mei fell unconscious and the bodyguards immediately brought her back to the grand concubine pavilion.

"Stupid! You idiot! You idiot!"

Dayang Yi could only smile wryly, again Wu Li Mei beat her own head.

"Your Majesty?" call Dayang Yi, "Do you want to clean yourself, soaking in warm water might make you calmer." suggested the lady.

Lu Yan and the other lady-in-waiting nodded in agreement, "Do you want to wear a lot of rose scent?" asked Lu Yan.

The grand concubine was silent for a moment, rightly so, she had not touched the water since yesterday. Wu Li Mei smelled the hanfu she was wearing, there was no pungent smell which meant indeed, as Wu Li Mei herself rarely sweated. But, the sky blue hanfu he was wearing was already shabby and a little dirty.

"All right." Wu Li Mei got up and walked over to the ladies. "I'll soak."

...****************...

Wu Li Mei climbed onto the desolate and desolate princess pavilion, despite the many maids and bodyguards, but each of them kept their composure so that Zhou Xie Ling would not be disturbed.

When he first entered the princess' room after a long time, the smell of medicine instantly burst forth, stinging his sense of smell. Wu Li Mei so longed for this scent, even though it was different, but the medicinal scent always reminded her of the hospital.

The atmosphere of the room was still the same, sullen and warm. Wu Li Mei lowered her head at a glance as Physician Zhong and the several maids bowed to her.

"How is Xiao Ling?" ask the concubine.

"Are the herbs from Master Zhang not sufficiently nutritious?"

Physician Zhong shook his head again, "A few days ago did show signs of recovery, but after that the princess returned ill. In fact, we did not reduce the drugs given."

Wu Li Mei could understand, not all diseases could be cured easily even though he had tried as much as possible. Especially for Zhou Xie Ling who was born with a weak body and some congenital diseases.

Is it time to prepare the heart? Just like Risa did when her little patient couldn't hold on anymore.

Wu Li Mei looked at her little daughter who was lying weakly on the bed, Zhou Xie Ling was already sleeping because it was already late. Even more heartbreaking are her two twins, Wu Li Mei knows they always look after the sister day and night to replace the role of the concubine and Dayang Hong.

Wu Li Mei rubbed the heads of Fang Yin and Ming Hao, the two children sleeping while resting on the table.

"Xiao Ming's? Xiao Yin?" call gently.

The two children soon woke up, forcing both eyes to open when they were very sleepy.

"Mother?" said the crown prince.

"Have you healed?" asked Zhou Fang Yin.

Wu Li Mei smiled gently, she nodded twice. "Yes, my mother is healed. I'll take turns keeping watch tonight, you guys go back to the pavilion and sleep." she said.

"Are you sure you're okay?" ask the son. "I'll stay here to accompany mom."

Wu Li Mei shook her head firmly, "No need, mother will take care of Xiao Ling tonight. You need to rest well, I don't want you to get sick from exhaustion."

The two children looked at each other, it was true that they were tired, but they could not leave the mother alone.

"How about we just sleep here?" tawar Zhou Fang Yin's. "We can ask the ladies to bring a bed to sleep" he added.

"We can't possibly leave mom alone."

Wu Li Mei stared heartlessly at her two children, sleeping with the pungent aroma of medicine was extremely unpleasant. After all, a healthy person would not like that. Moreover, Zhou Ming Hao and Zhou Fang Yin had already done so for days. Wu Li Mei felt guilty when she saw the dark circles around their eyes, as a form of solemnity for her two children to look after Xie Ling.

Wu Li Mei called Dayang Yi, the concubine asked if there was an empty room in the princess pavilion. Thankfully there was a small room next to Zhou Xie Ling's room, and it was empty. Without a second thought, the great concubine immediately ordered the maids and bodyguards to prepare a comfortable bed for her two children.

"Alright if you force." said Wu Li Mei. He again stroked the tops of his two children's heads, "The maids would prepare the bedding in the side room. You can rest there."

"Can't it just be here?"

Wu Li Mei shook her head, she pulled her two children to get up. Guide them towards the small room beside Zhou Xie Ling's room.

"Mom doesn't want to know, you have to rest well." she said, Wu Li Mei hugged her two children together and the hug was reciprocated with joy.

Wu Li Mei kissed their foreheads in turn, "You guys are the most precious treasure that belongs to mother. If something bad happens, then mom won't forgive herself."
