Chapter 1018

In this silent atmosphere, Chen Ning slowly walked forward and approached Chu Shao Bai's side.

"Empress, you ….. Don't touch the needles on his body." Doctor Zhang couldn't help reminding her.

"I know." She softly said.

Now she was even closer to Chu Shao Bai, so close that she could see each of his eyelashes. So close that she could see the faint rise and fall of his chest.

That's right, doctor Zhang did not lie to her. Shao Bai was indeed still alive.

But, he was only alive.

She could not see a trace of life from him and could not see a trace of familiarity. Her eyes fell onto his right hand. That hand was like a layer of skin wrapped around a skeleton, looking indescribably terrifying.

Once upon a time, his fingers were slender and graceful. She would always remember that it was this hand that he used to hold up a beautiful ice flower that didn't seem to belong in this world. He carefully and excitedly brought it to her eyes and gave it to her.

"Do you like it? Take a sniff, it's quite fragrant. "

"Strange, this flower carved from ice, how could it be fragrant?"

"This is the ice fragrance you wanted. It's a snow lotus I picked from an ice mountain."

His clear and pleasant voice was still ringing in her ears, but the young man who gave her the ice fragrance had become a living dead person.

Chen Ning tightly bit her lips, not allowing the tears in her eyes to fall.

She still remembered the first time she saw him was in Chu Shao Yang's wedding hall. Under everyone's gazes of disdain, only he looked at her differently. He revealed a smile to her that was like a spring breeze, blooming flowers everywhere.

But the youth who had been smiling like the spring breeze was now lying motionlessly on the bed, allowing her gaze to wander over his face. His eyes were tightly shut, ignoring her.

Perhaps his eyes, which were brighter than the cold stars in the sky, would never be able to open again.

Chen Ning suddenly gave a cold shiver and threw this terrifying thought to the back of her mind.

"Doctor Zhang, wasn't he injured by a sword? How could he ….. become like this in just a few short days? You're saying ….. he can't hear, see, or feel anything? Why is it like this? "

She turned around and asked doctor Zhang with a trembling voice.

Doctor Zhang gave a sigh and shook his head, "Reporting to the empress, this old minister has been a doctor for several decades, but I really can't explain why King Jing An would suddenly ….. suddenly become like this. The empress is right, he only suffered a flesh wound. Although the sword wound injured his lungs and caused him to lose large amounts of blood, it wasn't fatal. This old minister helped him close the wound and fed him elixirs. According to this old man's experience, he should be fine after a few days of rest, but this old man never would have thought that King Jing An's condition would suddenly worsen. Not only did it not improve, it became even worse. "

He paused for a moment, and an extremely ashamed expression appeared on his face.

"This old minister tried everything, but it was like a stone sinking into the ocean, there was no effect at all. King Jing An has a high fever and this is not a serious illness, but no matter what medicine is fed to him, he will spit it out. He doesn't eat or drink, doesn't drink, and has lost large amounts of blood, so he is this thin. It's just that he's thin, that's not a big deal. This old official still has a way to slowly cure him. However, what makes this old official helpless is that he has completely lost consciousness. No matter what this old official does, I can't wake him up. He … he … "
