Chapter 212 – 212. Feeling Worried
Before it was dawn, Fu Xie Lan slowly regained her senses.
sounds accompanied by slowly opening eyelids, the girl blinked her eyes, trying to adjust the light entering her eyes to make her vision clearer.
The white mixed brown ceiling was the first sight that entered her eyes.
Her memory immediately replayed on the previous incident.
'Where is this?'
"How are you feeling now, Queen?"
Suddenly a familiar voice reached her ears.
Searching for the source of the voice, the girl found nothing.
"I'm here, Queen," said a man who was none other than Gu Yi.
The man was previously standing by the window and was currently walking towards the bed where Fu Xie Lan was.
"What happened?"
"Where is this?"
"And how are things outside?"
Successive questions immediately assaulted Gu Yi.
"Hmm calm down, Queen. Your body was injured earlier, rest. don't think about anything but me," said Gu Yi, lying down next to Fu Xie Lan with one hand supporting his head with his body facing the girl.
Hearing the man's words, Fu Xie Lan rolled her eyes in embarrassment.
The window that was still half-open brought the night breeze from outside, blowing coldly and hitting Fu Xie Lan's neck giving a refreshing sensation.
The girl didn't respond to Gu Yi's words, instead, she tried to get up. But her efforts were in vain. The man held her body with one hand.
"Don't move too much, Queen. I don't want you to get tired," said the man again. Ever since Wan Lie and the other two left the room, Gu Yi was still in a state of wakefulness, guarding and noticing the changes that had occurred to Fu Xie Lan's body.
"I just want to sit. My back hurts from sleeping too long," replied Fu Xie Lan again trying the same thing as before, getting up from her position.
But the girl hadn't even sat up perfectly yet and a terrible headache was whacking her head. Followed by a feeling of nausea that filled her throat.
Immediately, Fu Xie Lan ran to find the toilet in the room and vented her nausea, the girl threw up.
Not food or drink, but only her saliva.
"I told you, Queen. Don't move too much," Gu Yi said while massaging the nape of the girl who kept throwing up.
It happened to Fu Xie Lan for a few minutes and finally stopped. Although she still occasionally feels dizzy and nauseous, it's not as bad as before.
"How?" Gu Yi asked.
Fu Xie Lan didn't answer, the girl tried to grip the wall, to prevent her body from falling to the floor, then slowly walked back towards the bed.
However, the girl had not taken a few steps and Gu Yi immediately carried her body. Carried and placed it carefully on the bed.
"Tell me if you want to do something, Queen. I can help you. Don't do it yourself. I don't want you to get hurt," Gu Yi said.
"I'm just walking, walking won't hurt me," Fu Xie Lan replied.
"I don't care," the man said. After putting Fu Xie Lan down, he walked over to the table near the window.
"Drink," Gu Yi asked then, taking a glass of mineral water and giving it to Fu Xie Lan.
"Clear your throat, Queen," said the man again. That ruler knew very well how difficult and troublesome it was to have a human physical body.
"Thank you," replied Fu Xie Lan accepting the glass and drinking it. And sure enough, the feeling of nausea subsided a little.
"What happened to the witch?" asked Fu Xie Lan again handing the empty glass to Gu Yi.
"Hmm, I told you, Queen. Don't think about anything but me. Now rest, your body and mind are tired," Gu Yi said in the smoothest voice possible.
However, that second was immediately rewarded with a glare from Fu Xie Lan.
"I'm serious. Stop talking nonsense," the girl replied in a slightly raised voice.
Getting a glare from a Fu Xie Lan, Gu Yi finally gave up.
"Alright, alright. I'll answer, but stop looking at me like that, Queen. It hurts so bad here," Gu Yi replied with one hand holding his chest where his heart was.
"Where is this?" the girl then asked, ignoring Gu Yi's words just now.
"Arcadia Inn, Queen," Gu Yi replied with a gentle smile.
"How's the witch?"
"How is the palace now?"
"Why am I here?"
"And the state of the humans? Did they die?"
"One at a time, Queen. I can't remember all those consecutive questions," Gu Yi said with his trademark chuckle.
"Never mind, forget it. Let me ask Wan Lie or the others," replied Fu Xie Lan with a tired sigh.
"No. No, Queen. I won't let you ask them," Gu Yi said.
"Who are you? I have the right to ask anyone," Fu Xie Lan retorted, but the man didn't seem to care what Fu Xie Lan said.
"Then I will kill those who answer your question," the man chuckled again.
Unlike Fu Xie Lan, the girl was already annoyed to the core. Since earlier the man just kept joking while spewing nonsense. Suddenly, the feeling of wanting to hit the man rose within her.
"What are you worried about now, Queen?" Gu Yi asked again when he didn't get any response from the girl.
Fu Xie Lan only glanced at her sharply, not making a sound.
"Okay, I'm sorry," said the man.
"Don't be mad, don't look at me like that," he added.
"You asked for it," Fu Xie Lan replied immediately.
"Does that mean you'll comply with all my requests if I ask something from you?" Gu Yi said starting to tease but again got a sharp glare from the girl.
"Okay, okay. I'm just kidding, Queen," the ruler chuckled then cleared his throat as if the next second he would enter serious mode.
"The fake emperor died, the Queen and Princess Fu Xie Yan also experienced the same thing, I think you also saw their severed heads, Queen."
"And then?"
"There was no loss of life in the explosion of the fake emperor's body," replied Gu Yi.
"Thank goodness, so the palace is fine now?"
"No, Queen," Gu Yi replied curtly.
"The Zu royal palace was destroyed, nothing remains, even so, no one lost their lives and it's all thanks to your protective magic, Queen," he added explaining at length.
"And then?"
"Nothing else, all the officials and princes along with some of the participants are looking for lodging outside the palace for their temporary stay," Gu Yi replied.
"And one of them is the two of us," he added.
"How are Wan Lie and the others doing especially with Xue Ning's eldest brother," asked Fu Xie Lan
"Don't worry, Queen. They're fine," Gu Yi replied.
"I'm grateful." At the same time, a sigh of relief could be heard escaping from her tiny lips.
