Inner Thoughts Exposed! My Disabled Husband Knows All My Secrets!
Chapter 61: It Wasn’t a Dream?!"Physician Liu, are you sure the world isn’t spinning right now?" Lin Xueyi asked, holding her aching head with one hand.
She could finally sit up in bed, but she still needed several pillows behind her back to support her. Without them, she felt like she might tip over to the side. Even her vision was a little blurry, and everything in front of her seemed to sway whenever she tried to focus.
"Your Highness, I assure you, there’s nothing wrong with the world," Physician Liu patiently answered her for what seemed like the hundredth time. "You simply have a terrible headache. Don’t worry. It should pass soon."
He then handed the bowl of medicine he had prepared to Mei Lu, who carefully spooned it into Lin Xueyi’s mouth little by little.
"Physician Liu..." Lin Xueyi whined, her brows pulling together. "Why can’t you make medicine that tastes sweet?"
Physician Liu calmly replied, "It just so happens that the ingredients used in this medicine are all very bitter." He paused before adding, "But this physician can assure you that it will help you feel better."
Lin Xueyi continued to frown, but she still obediently opened her mouth and let Mei Lu feed her another spoonful.
[Actually, does medicine that isn’t bitter even exist?] Lin Xueyi complained in her mind. [Even in the modern world, medicine for adults tastes awful.]
She swallowed another mouthful, and her face immediately twisted. [But seriously, this medicine is so bitter!]
As she tried to endure the bitter taste lingering on her tongue, her thoughts slowly drifted back to what had happened last night.
[Why do I feel like I caused Yanyan a lot of trouble last night?]
Lin Xueyi frowned. [But that’s impossible, right? There’s no way he actually stayed here and took care of me all night.]
While burning with fever last night, she had thought she was having a wonderful dream.
In that dream, Rong Shuyan stayed beside her and took care of her. He hadn’t even gotten angry when she kept hugging him and refused to let go of his sleeve.
But now that she thought about it again, Lin Xueyi’s expression slowly stiffened.
[That dream felt so real...] A terrible thought suddenly crossed her mind. [Wait. What if it wasn’t a dream?!]
Lin Xueyi swallowed hard. She slowly turned her head toward Mei Lu, suddenly feeling nervous. "Was His Highness also in this tent last night?"
Mei Lu immediately nodded. Not only that, but her face lit up with such a wide smile that she looked exactly like a teenage girl who couldn’t wait to push her friend into a blind date.
"His Highness was the one who took care of you all night, Your Highness!" Mei Lu said cheerfully. "And it seems like all his effort paid off. Look at you! You’re already feeling much better!"
Lin Xueyi froze in place, her eyes widening the moment she realized that none of the embarrassing things she had done last night had been a dream.
In other words, she had really hugged him and had really held onto his sleeve all night.
[Oh, damn it! What am I supposed to do when I see his face later?!] Lin Xueyi screamed in her mind.
However, before she could think about it any further, the subject of her thoughts suddenly appeared.
The tent flap was pulled open, and Rong Shuyan entered in his wheelchair.
Lin Xueyi immediately stiffened. [Oh no.]
Her eyes met his for barely a second before she quickly looked away. [Why is he here?!]
[No, wait. Of course he would come back. This is his tent!]
Rong Shuyan paused for a moment after entering.
He had already heard her panicked thoughts before he even reached her bedside, but his expression remained completely calm as he wheeled himself closer.
Physician Liu stood up and greeted him. "Your Highness."
Rong Shuyan gave him a small nod before his gaze moved toward Lin Xueyi. "How is she?"
"Her fever has already gone down," Physician Liu explained. "She still has a rather severe headache and some dizziness, but that is to be expected. As long as Her Highness rests properly and continues taking her medicine, she should recover soon."
Rong Shuyan nodded. "That’s good."
Meanwhile, Lin Xueyi was doing everything she could not to look at him.
She lowered her head and stared intensely at the bowl of medicine in Mei Lu’s hands as though it were suddenly the most interesting thing in the entire world.
[Don’t look at him.]
[Don’t look at him.]
[As long as I don’t look at him, I can pretend nothing happened last night.]
Rong Shuyan’s eyes quietly shifted toward her. "Why are you staring at the medicine?"
Lin Xueyi nearly jumped. "I-I’m not!"
Her answer came out so quickly that everyone inside the tent turned to look at her.
Lin Xueyi immediately wanted to bury herself beneath the blankets. [Why did I answer so loudly?!]
Rong Shuyan remained silent. Mei Lu, on the other hand, looked between the two of them before suddenly covering her mouth to hide a smile.
Unfortunately, Lin Xueyi noticed and she immediately glared at her maid. [Don’t smile! There’s nothing to smile about!]
Before her mind could wander toward even more embarrassing thoughts, Lin Xueyi suddenly noticed the constant movement outside the tent.
There seemed to be quite a few soldiers standing guard around them.
"What happened?" Lin Xueyi asked Rong Shuyan. "Why are there so many soldiers guarding our tent?"
[Does Rong Yunzhou really want to kill us?!]
Lin Xueyi’s face immediately grew pale. [But... I don’t think he’s brave enough to do something like that.]
After all, compared to Rong Mingze and the other evil princes, Rong Yunzhou was nothing more than a loser and a coward.
No matter how angry he was, he wouldn’t dare to openly kill Rong Shuyan or Lin Xueyi in broad daylight.
Rong Shuyan understood what she was thinking, but instead of answering her right away, he turned toward the others inside the tent.
"Leave us," he said firmly to others.
