Chapter 107 Wake up
The queen was bedridden, and only the senior palace maids and eunuchs were left to take care of her, trying to keep the infection to a minimum.

The imperial physician would come to observe the queen's condition every day and prescribe different medications to control the symptoms according to the severity of the symptoms.

Ye Jinshu followed the instructions of the imperial physician and Ye Ruoyan and wore a special mask when in contact with the queen and changed it regularly. After two days of close contact with the queen, he did not have any problems and was in great health.

Normally, if she got tired of sitting in the Queen's bedroom, she would stand up and "brandish her swords and guns" in the spacious space. Of course, she didn't have the real weapons, so Ye Jinshu could only pretend that she had them.

After the exercise, Ye Jinshu sat down next to the queen and read a storybook.

Before Ye Jinshu came to the Queen's palace, she felt that she would be extremely bored during the days when the Queen was seriously ill, so she asked Xiao Cui to bring her a lot of storybooks, some of which she had read and some of which she had not.

The Queen had a high fever and was completely exhausted, and was unconscious most of the time.

While the queen was comatose, Ye Jinshu was reading a storybook nearby and didn't feel that time was passing slowly.

But from the Queen's perspective, Ye Jinshu was always by her side every time she fell asleep due to discomfort, and when she woke up again at some unknown time, Ye Jinshu was still by her side.

It was as if Ye Jinshu was guarding her day and night.

But in fact, Ye Jinshu ate and drank well in the Queen's Palace every day.

There were novels to read and no one disturbed her. Except for sometimes missing that quiet figure and the gossiping voices of Xiao Cui and the palace people, everything else was fine.

During the first few days, the Queen had a high fever. Ye Jinshu watched over the palace maids and constantly changed the cold water for the Queen to cool her down. It was also Ye Jinshu who personally fed the Queen medicine.

In fact, there was no particularly emotional reason why Ye Jinshu fed the queen medicine. The main reason was that the queen was unconscious and unable to drink the medicine normally. With Ye Jinshu watching, the palace maids did not dare to be too rude to the queen. They could not feed the queen a bowl of medicine and it all spilled out.

Ye Jinshu had no concerns about disobeying his superiors. He just couldn't stand the palace maids feeding medicine to him every day but couldn't get it to work, so he took the initiative to take on this job.

Ye Jinshu worked in the fields every day and was full of energy. He helped the queen sit up straight, pried open her mouth and started to pour medicine into her.

Ye Jinshu has a pretty good nose and can smell some subtle changes, but he can only tell that the taste is different and nothing else.

After smelling that the Queen had changed to the fourth medicine, which was also the fifth day since Ye Jinshu came, the Queen was finally able to wake up a little.

As luck would have it, when the queen regained consciousness, Ye Jinshu was rolling up his sleeves and preparing to fight the bowl of medicine for three hundred rounds and feed it all into the queen's mouth.

As a result, when she turned around, she saw the queen staring at her with a pair of eyes that looked haggard but clearly sober.

Ye Jinshu instantly changed his rough appearance and became a little more gentle. He said to the queen: "Aunt, you finally woke up. It's just right to drink the medicine. The temperature is just right now."

When the queen saw this scene, it became like this: Ye Jinshu was originally anxious because she didn't wake up while holding the medicine, but now that she saw she woke up, she felt relieved.

Jinshu really cares about her, and her raising this child all these years was not in vain.

"Jinshu, why are you here?" The queen's voice was hoarse from not speaking for a long time, and even she herself was stunned when she heard the voice.

Ye Jinshu immediately understood, put the medicine on the table beside her, and poured a glass of warm water for the queen.

When the queen drank the warm water at her lips, she instantly felt her heart warmer. What a coincidence, the temperature of the water was just right for drinking when she woke up, neither too cold nor too hot.

Jinshu must have been waiting for her to wake up, constantly changing the water to ensure that it was always warm. This was another wonderful misunderstanding.

The water is warm only because Ye Jinshu is an older person at heart. She prefers to drink warm water rather than cold water, so she always asks the palace maids to ensure the water temperature during the day.

If the queen woke up at night, she would definitely not be able to drink water of such a suitable temperature, and she would most likely not be able to see Ye Jinshu.

After all, Ye Jinshu also needs to sleep at night.

All I can say is that the timing when the queen woke up was a blessing from heaven for Ye Jinshu, and everything happened just right by coincidence.

Seeing the queen drinking water, Ye Jinshu replied, "Jinshu was worried that your aunt would be bored in the palace alone, so I thought of coming in to talk to you."

The queen paused while drinking the water, and suddenly her hand shook unnaturally, and the water splashed on her face.

Ye Jinshu quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the water that was accidentally spilled on the queen's face. However, the water was not hot at all, but the queen's eyes turned redder.

After a while, Ye Jinshu watched the queen finish drinking the medicine, and called the palace maid to pack up the things. Then he took out the script he brought with him and asked the queen: "Aunt, do you feel tired talking now?"

Although the queen said something just now, Ye Jinshu could still hear that the queen's breath was very weak.

Normally, when the Queen was in good health, she would always talk to her a lot when she saw her, but today she only said one sentence.

The queen seemed to not want Ye Jinshu to worry, and shook her head: "Not very tired."

"That means I'm tired." Ye Jinshu made the final decision. "If you're tired, how about I read a storybook to my aunt? This storybook is quite interesting."

The queen originally thought that if she was infected with the plague and could not recover, she would ask the palace maids and eunuchs not to take any risks. She wanted to die alone in the palace without implicating others, which could be regarded as fulfilling her responsibility as the mother of a country.

She was prepared to open her eyes and find herself alone, with only two or three trusted confidants occasionally coming to look after her.

But every time she opened her eyes briefly, she could see Ye Jinshu's figure, which made her feel extremely at ease.

It was like when she had given up on herself, someone suddenly appeared, held her tightly and said that he would stay with her even if he died.

How could she not be moved by this?

She has a husband, but her husband is first the king and then her husband. Letting the king take risks for her is unfaithful on her part.

She also has a son, but her son is first the crown prince and only secondarily his son. To let the crown prince take risks is to disregard the country and the people.

She also has a daughter, but her daughter was hunting outside the palace when the plague broke out, and now she can't return to her.

In the end, the person who accompanied her in waiting for death turned out to be Ye Jinshu.

She had been protected by Ye Jinshu's mother when her mother was still alive. Now, she was on the verge of life and death, and Ye Jinshu still stood by her without hesitation. Should we say that she was worthy of being her daughter?

"Jinshu, this place is too dangerous, please leave. Don't stay here."
