Chapter 622 It’s not easy

"I'm fine." Zhou Chang was puzzled. Seeing that Yuan Qi seemed to have talked to the mother and daughter of the Tao family for a long time, he didn't know what they talked about. He thought of a lie and said, "Ah, my wife... you finally woke up. I was worried to death."

As he spoke, he rushed over and hugged Yuan Qi, winking at her.

Yuan Qi was confused at first, but soon reacted. However, he seemed to have no recollection of what happened last night, and asked, "What's wrong with me? What are you worried about?"

Zhou Chang hugged Yuan Qi tightly and quickly explained the background of the story: "My wife, do you remember that we encountered pirates the night before last? Later, our boat sank and drifted here all night. I didn't expect that one of the pirates would also drift here. Thanks to Monkey for saving me, he was seriously injured by the pirates and is still unconscious. Thanks to you for finally waking up, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

"The monkey is injured?" Yuan Qi was shocked, but did not struggle to break free from Zhou Chang and let her hold him in her arms.

Zhou Chang held her for a while, and only let her go after Aunt Tao and her daughter left with smiles on their faces.

Then he suddenly felt embarrassed and forced a smile: "What I told the Tao family is that we are a couple doing business. My last name is Zhou, you are my wife, and the skinny monkey is my follower. You must not let me get away with it."

Yuan Qi looked at Zhou Chang with a puzzled look.

Zhou Chang didn't know what Yuan Qi would think of this setting, and felt a little guilty, so he added: "The monkey was really stabbed in the belly by the pirates in order to save me. He is still unconscious in the next room. I don't know if he can make it."

"What should I do? I'll go see him." Yuan Qi said as he was about to get off the bed.

"Don't move, just lie on the kang, don't catch a cold again." Zhou Chang couldn't afford to lose anyone now.

Yuan Qi was still hot, and his whole body was sore and weak, but he didn't force it, but stroked Zhou Chang's cheek and said, "Your Highness, you have been very tired these past two days, right? You must be very worried, and you must be shocked and scared, otherwise you wouldn't be like this."

"What does it look like?" Zhou Chang wiped his face roughly and realized that she had not combed her hair or washed her face for two days and two nights since she came ashore from the sea. She was just worried.

Yuan Qi's eyes were filled with heartache, but he quietly withdrew his hand and lowered his eyes: "You...you took care of me last night, I remember..."

Zhou Chang always knew clearly that she was Prince Yi Fengming. She had lay next to Yuan Qi without permission last night. He couldn't help scratching his head in embarrassment, but his hair was all stuck together.

The only one who was more embarrassed than her was Prince Yi Fengming.

Feng Ming was so embarrassed that he even forced himself to step away and started to talk nonsense: "Oh... I, I am ugly, so sloppy. Oh... By the way, the crown is gone too. I gave it to Mr. Tao and asked them to help find a doctor in town. You... you wait a moment, the doctor will be here soon, and you and Monkey will be fine by then."

Zhou Chang inexplicably became a bystander.

Yuan Qi looked at Feng Ming with red eyes and could no longer speak.

"What's wrong with you? Don't cry... everything will be fine." Feng Ming was at a loss.

There was no need to persuade him, Yuan Qi also tried to hold back his tears: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect that we would end up like this."

"I'm sorry for wronging you. You were just trying to save me." Feng Ming always felt guilty towards Yuan Qi and Shou Hou.

“No…” Yuan Qi shook his head slowly, “It’s hard for you. It’s not easy for you to save both of us by yourself.”

As soon as the word "not easy" came out, Feng Ming was relieved of the pressure and fear he had been under for two days and two nights. He hugged Yuan Qi tightly and said, "As long as you don't leave me, I'm willing to do anything."

Yuan Qi was also hugged by Ren Fengming and cried silently.

After a while, Feng Ming realized that the jade pendant was hidden in his clothes all along, so he took it out and held it in front of Yuan Qi: "Ahem... By the way, I have been wearing this jade pendant since you gave it to me. Because of it, I can always turn danger into safety. Now I should return it to you, so that you can keep it with you for a long time to stay safe and happy."

When Yuan Qi saw the jade pendant, he was surprised at first, then he seemed to think of something and pushed it back: "Since this jade pendant is given to the prince, it is best if it can keep the prince safe. It means that it is destined to be with you."

As soon as their hands touched, they both felt the other's fingertips were cold.

Almost at the same time, they said, "Are you cold?"

The atmosphere was strange, and Yuan Qi answered first: "I'm not cold..."

"Ah, then I'm not cold either. By the way, you take a rest first, I'll go..." Feng Ming hurriedly pulled the quilt up for Yuan Qi.

Yuan Qi didn't let Feng Ming feel awkward for long, and took over the conversation: "Your Majesty doesn't look well either. He must have caught a cold after soaking in the river all night. He should have a good rest."

Both Feng Ming and Zhou Chang were indeed trying hard to hold on, but they were still worried and reminded him: "Don't call me Prince here, lest you let it slip. I'll call you my wife and you call me my husband, okay?"

Yuan Qi's already hot cheeks suddenly turned even redder, and he turned his head away without answering.

Zhou Chang then realized that Yuan Qi might be shy, and hurriedly stood up: "Ahem... I'm going to go back first. If you need anything, just call me, or Aunt Tao, or her daughter Erya."

Then, without waiting for Yuan Qi to answer, he hurriedly closed the door and left.

As soon as Zhou Chang left the house, Aunt Tao brought him rice porridge and cornmeal cakes, with dried fish as a side dish, as dinner.

Zhou Chang didn’t care what he ate now, he just wanted to replenish his strength. After thanking him and taking a few bites, he still felt uncomfortable in his stomach.

After dinner, I hurried back to Skinny Monkey’s room to check on his condition.

The skinny monkey seemed like a person in a deep sleep. He was breathing and had a pulse, but he couldn't be woken up no matter what we did.

Yuan Qi has already woken up, and all that’s left is to wait for the fever to subside. However, the skinny monkey has not woken up yet, which is particularly worrying.

Along with the worry, Zhou Chang, who was still sick, lay down next to the skinny monkey and fell asleep in a daze.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already dark outside the window, but the skinny monkey was still motionless.

He did not forget to go downstairs to feed the skinny monkey some water, and he also drank the remaining half pot of water himself.

Knowing that the fever in his body had not subsided yet, but fortunately he was still conscious, Zhou Chang went out again with the kettle, ready to get another pot of water.

The main room was pitch black. Poor people would eat and finish their work early before it got dark and rarely light lights at night.

However, there was a faint light coming through the crack of Yuan Qi's room door, and the sound of someone talking inside could be vaguely heard.

Zhou Chang went over and knocked on the door.

When the door opened, Aunt Tao and her daughter were talking to Yuan Qi again.

Yuan Qi looked much better than in the afternoon, and was drinking a bowl of rice porridge.
