Eastern Palace

Chapter 14

I don't know what time I slept, I only remembered the imperial physicians buzzing around talking to each other, when I woke up I was lying by Li Cheng Yin's bedside, covered by a blanket. My legs were already numb, cannot even move, one movement will cause my bones to crack......I slept too deep, leaking saliva on Li Cheng Yin's sleeve.......Li Cheng Yin's sleeve!

I suddenly jumped up. The whole night my chin was resting on Li Cheng Yin's shoulder, the inner palace was very quiet, not a single person was there. Li Cheng Yin was lying there already awake, he was staring at me while faintly smiling.

I looked at his expression, I know he is fine now. I used all my strength to recover from the numbness in my legs but my efforts were in vain, I couldn't even stand up, also my waist.......It was daytime, my waist was sore and painful, as if it was ran over by a cart, I will never sleep like that ever again.

I used my strength, finally able to stand up with the support of my hand, I tried to walk step by step. I didn't know if I should call someone to support me, or I should keep walking by myself. At this moment Li Cheng Yin finally said something: "Where are you going?" "Going back to my place to sleep......" Even my tongue was numb, I almost bit my own tongue while talking.

"Are you a pig, able to sleep anywhere, you could even sleep lying there like that, I tried to wake you up but you didn't wake up." I restrained myself from rolling my eyes, this person had recovered a bit and he still have this much strength to argue with me.

He patted his bed.

"What?"

"Don't you want to sleep? This bed is big enough." His bed was quite big, compared to an ordinary bed Li Cheng Yin's bed was very big, eight to ten people can sleep on that bed. However that was not the main point, I couldn't help but ask: "You want me to sleep with you?" Li Cheng Yin said: "It's not like you haven't slept here before." That was true.

I was very exhausted, climbed onto the bed, Li Cheng Yin originally gave me half of the blanket, I was scared that I might accidentally hit his wound, so I reached out and used the blanket to cover his wound. After that I comfortably fell asleep.

Afterwards, Yong Niang quietly woke me up, I quietly put on my clothes. Yong Niang quietly told me that the imperial decree of the deposition of the Empress has finally been passed. The Empress Dowager had to come out to appease everyone, the imperial harem is now very calm.

Asides from the imperial decree to depose the Empress, there was another special imperial decree which was to restore Zhao Liang Di back to her original status because she was innocent.

I looked at Li Cheng Yin sadly, he was lying there sleeping. He hasn't woke up yet because his wound was very serious, for the past few days the colour of his face was very pale as if there was no signs of colour, he got skinnier, even the rims of his eyes were black.

I faced towards Yong Niang and said: "Send someone to bring Zhao Liang Di here to take care of the Crown Prince." This place originally does not belong to me, but I keep coming here for the past few days.

I didn't wait for Yong Niang to speak, I went out of the inner palace, ordered someone to bring the carriage.

I returned to my own palace hall, slept as soon as I went inside. I had slept for too long, I looked at myself in the mirror, if I was prettier, would Li Cheng Yin like me?

Li Cheng Yin had always loved to dislike me, I don't even care, however after what had happened before, I realized that I really do care. Right now he is alive, I hoped he would like me because when he was about to die, I realized that I really did like him.
