章節 51: Chapter 51: Touched

"Ah—Ah—" Zheng Haoyuan woke up with a high-pitched scream only to find himself lying on an unfamiliar bed, surrounded by palace maids whom he did not recognize.

"Ho Sheng, Ho Sheng—" Zheng Haoyuan called out loudly.

"Fourth Prince, Fourth Prince, Steward Ho is injured. We are the palace maids from Bushou Palace, sent by Her Highness to attend to your needs," Xing Xiu said anxiously, stepping forward, trying to get closer when a pillow was hurled at her head.

"Quickly fetch the Imperial Physician and report to Her Highness that the Fourth Prince is awake," shouted the palace maid at the door as she hurried off.

Zheng Haoyuan looked at the palace maid in front of him; her face looked familiar, as if she belonged to his mother consort's entourage.

"What happened to Ho Sheng?" Zheng Haoyuan asked, knowing that Ho Sheng and his cousin had rushed over to save him, and he had witnessed the sinister black mist seeping into Ho Sheng.
