Tang Shishi did not sleep well. After she followed the rescuers back to the camp, she began to have a fever that night. She used up her last willpower to hide the book from her sleeve at the corner and then fell on the sleeping couch, completely lost all her consciousness.

There was a fire in her dream and her whole body was roasted on a rack. Tang Shishi was unable to breathe smoothly. She vaguely felt that her present state was very dangerous, and she had to wake up quickly, but she has been struggling for a long time and could not break free from her dream.

She slept like this for a long time. Later, it seems that someone was sitting beside her, reaching out to touch her forehead, and pulling the quilt for her. Later, there were more footsteps in the background. People were coming and going in her ears, someone gave her medicine, and someone moistened her lips with cotton. Tang Shishi felt better and fell into a deep slumber.

She did not know how long she had slept. When she woke up, all the windows on all sides were hanging down, and could hear the sound of pitter-pattering from outside. It was raining again.

Tang Shishi opened her eyes for a long time before she could remember where she was. She wanted to sit up, but she did not know if she could move. Only when she was able to move a little bit, she realized that her body was sore and weak.

She felt like she was doing her best, but in fact, she was only able to move her fingers slightly. Fortunately, her voice alarmed the people outside, and soon someone walked around the screen and came in to check on her. When the other party saw Tang Shishi awake, she was taken aback for a while, and immediately put on a smile, "You are awake."

Tang Shishi looked at the visitor, her eyebrows raised up, "Zhou Shunhua, why is it you?"

"I am here to take care of you by Wangye's order." Zhou Shunhua said, and then shouted to the soldiers outside the tent, "Miss Tang is awake, go and invite Wangye here."

Tang Shishi slowed down for a while. After accumulating her strength, she sat up and supported herself. Seeing this, Zhou Shunhua came forward to help Tang Shishi to sit down and brought her a cup of tea.

Tang Shishi's voice was hoarse, almost unable to speak. She finally felt her throat was better after drinking a full cup of tea. Tang Shishi looked around, "Are we still in the paddock?"

"Yes."

"Where is Shizi?"

Zhao Chengjun had just entered the door when he heard this sentence. Zhao Chengjun paused for a short while and continued to walk into the tent steadily. Across the screen, the situation inside was blurred, and only vaguely saw a woman with long hair in white clothes, weakly leaning on the bed, such a small figure.

She could not even say words properly and yet the first thing she woke up was to ask about Zhao Zixun. Zhao Chengjun did not know what to say about Tang Shishi. Looking at a person who could handle it well, she was desperate for love in the end.

Zhao Chengjun walked fast, and it was only after he came in that the guard remembered to notify the people inside. When Tang Shishi and Zhou Shunhua heard Zhao Chengjun was coming, they stopped talking in an instant. Zhou Shunhua stood up and saluted Zhao Chengjun, Tang Shishi also remembered but was stopped by Zhao Chengjun, "Don't move, take care of yourself."

Tang Shishi thanked him and slowly leaned back on the couch. Since Zhao Chengjun was here, Zhou Shunhua naturally did not dare to continue sitting on the couch. She stood on the side of the screen with her hands folded together and left some room for them.

Zhao Chengjun did not mean to sit down. He waved his hand, and the imperial doctor behind him immediately came forward with a box and gave Tang Shishi a pulse. After checking for a while, the doctor stood up and bowed, "Wangye, Miss Tang's fever has subsided. If she drinks some more medicine to strengthen her body, she will be cured."
