The Emperor Xiao San's Little Concubine
Chapter 16: He is Back to Life
According to the emperor's orders, Eunuch Li preserved Xixi's body. The court healer made potions from the best herbal ingredients in order to preserve Xixi's body. It was no wonder that Xixi, the lowest court lady, became the one to receive special treatment for the good of the prince.
The effects of a special drug made by Xixi should only last a week. Xixi should have been able to come to her senses from her fake death. However due to the influence of the medicinal preservation potion and the extremely low temperature that surrounded Xixi's body, it made a contraction between the herbs. Xixi's body is in a vegetative state. He is currently in a coma. If this state of affairs lasted more than three months, then Xixi would truly experience death.
A month had passed, the prince was still unconscious. The emperor searched the entire region to get the best healer. The emperor opened a contest, if the physician was a man, he would be appointed the supreme court physician, but if the physician was a woman, he would be made the prince's concubine. The emperor will do anything for the prince.
Jiang Xi decided to disguise herself as a healer. He came to the palace and followed the contest made by the emperor. Jiang Xi examined the condition of the prince who was still in a coma. In fact Xixi did not understand the way of treatment, she just checked randomly and made a false diagnosis. Jiang Xi said that prince Xiao San could wake up from the coma, if Xixi could be resurrected again from the dead. The emperor who heard the statement was shocked. How can someone who has been dead for almost two months get back up.
Jiang Xi boasted of her abilities and asked that she be able to raise Xixi from the dead. The entire palace physician regarded Jiang Xi as a mad healer. However it was the main condition to cure the prince by resurrecting Xixi. The emperor who doubted this mad healer, tried to give him a chance to do so. Jiang Xi was taken to Xixi's body storage. Jiang Xi asked everyone to leave her alone while she was on medication.
Jiang Xi took out a special potion to neutralize the medicinal herb earlier. He gave the special potion gradually over the course of a week. Jiang Xi gave the potion carefully, because Xixi had once advised that the wrong dose or wrong time in giving the antidote would actually make a death for Xixi. Jiang Xi did all this with anxiety and fear, she did not want to make a mistake.
A week had passed, Xixi's body began to give a good response. Gradually his body temperature began to warm up and his skin started to return to its original color. Jiang Xi continued to monitor Xixi's body changes. Every small change will be well supervised. Xixi finally got back up. He opened his eyes and tried to resuscitate himself thoroughly.
"Are you conscious?" jiang Xi asked worriedly
"Hm." answered Xixi briefly.
"Give me a drink" Xixi said softly.
Jiang Xi gave a drink to Xixi. He checked back on Xixi and everything was back to normal. After making sure everything was fine, Jiang Xi summoned the emperor and eunuch Li. They went in and saw Xixi. They were so shocked and incredulous, Xixi came back alive. He's back alive. The Emperor considered Jiang Xi to be a healer god. He truly possessed abilities above the best palace healers. After Xixi wakes up. Jiang Xi asked the emperor for permission to take Xixi in the prince's treatment and the emperor agreed.
Xixi headed for the prince's residence. Xixi was surprised to see the condition of the prince who was in a coma. Xixi hugged him tightly. He wept at the weak and helpless state of the prince.
"Prince, look at me here." whispered Xixi in the prince's ear.
Xixi kissed gently on the prince's forehead and held his hand gently. She did not expect that the prince had such great feelings towards her. Xixi checked the condition of the prince. He calmed down a little when he found out the prince could still be saved. Jiang Xi, who pretended to have examined the prince, asked the emperor to look for some special plants in the mountain near the northern border to restore the prince's condition. The emperor ordered some palace guards and court healers to search for the plant.
"Xixi." whispered the prince in a weak voice.
"The prince is conscious?" ask Xixi gently.
"Am I dreaming?" ask the prince and then close his eyes again.
Xixi was shocked to see the returning prince unconscious. He checked the condition of the prince and examined more thoroughly whether there was any mistake. Xixi tried to calm herself down and checked once again. All day long Xixi tried to take care of him. He did not want to fail and ended up losing the prince. Despite only being conscious from the coma, Xixi never rested. He always looked after the prince tirelessly. The next morning, the prince opened his eyes. Xixi was very happy.
"Prince, are you okay?" xixi asked gently while holding her hand.
"Xixi." call the weak prince.
"I'm here." Xixi smiled gently as she held the prince's cheek gently.
"Rest." said Xixi and tried to get up from the prince's bed.
"Don't go." whispered the prince while tightly holding Xixi's hand
"I will always be by the prince's side. Let me take some food and medicine for you" Xixi said with a small smile.
Xixi gives food and medicine to the prince. Xixi took good care of him. All day long Xixi was beside the prince until she fell asleep.
"I won't let you suffer anymore." whispered Xixi gently and shed her tears.
The emperor who saw his son had regained consciousness, making his feelings happy. The anxiety and fear just disappear. He was very happy with Jiang Xi's treatment. In accordance with his promise, Jiang Xi was finally appointed as the supreme court healer. He can live luxuriously in the palace and at the same time can keep Xixi at close range. After all, Jiang Xi's job was to look after Xixi. Although there was already no chance for Jiang Xi to get her love, yet she was quite happy to take good care of and protect Xixi. Jiang Xi's love was so holy, she was willing to sacrifice everything for the good of her loved ones. He would not ask for any reward from this sacrifice. For Jiang Xi by looking at the smile on Xixi's face, it was enough for her. Xixi is his first and last love.
