Chapter 152: Suddenly Regaining Consciousness (1/2)

Bai Luochu charged towards the imperial city with the quickest speed possible as she would only be able to treat Pei Qingfeng when they arrived in the city.

Pei Qingfeng actually woke up during the trip back. Perhaps it was due to the bumpy ride...

“Cough cough… Cough, cough.” Pei Qingfeng coughed a few times and blood flowed out of his mouth.

Bai Luochu’s attention was on Pei Qingfeng and the moment he woke up, she opened the curtain. She noticed that his eyes were wide open and she asked with concern, “How are you feeling? Do you feel any discomfort?”

The moment the questions left Bai Luochu’s mouth, she realized that she was being silly. Her brain wasn’t working properly right now. How could he feel comfortable with such severe injuries?

When Pei Qingfeng heard Bai Luochu’s question, he chuckled. He knew that she wasn’t thinking straight. He was touched but he couldn’t help but want to tease Bai Luochu.

“What are you saying? If I feel comfortable with these injuries, won’t I be considered an immortal?”

When Bai Luochu heard his response, she instantly yielded. She muttered to herself, “Just treat it as though I didn’t ask...”

Pei Qingfeng might be awake now, but Bai Luochu was still very anxious. Judging from Pei Qingfeng’s voice and breath when he was speaking, his condition was pretty serious.

“Try not to talk. It is better for you to conserve some energy. If I need you to be awake for the treatment later and you pass out, don’t blame me for failing to save you.”

Bai Luochu was truly inept at caring for others and her words were rather crude.

“Haha, are you showing your concern for me? It doesn’t matter, you will surely be able to treat me. If you fail to do so, I won’t feel too sad. After all, I died for you.” Pei Qingfeng was an individual who grew up in the imperial clan. The descendants of the imperial clan always matured at an early age and would understand the special relationship between man and woman. Pei Qingfeng never allowed anyone to touch him and she was the first lady to do so. He understood that Bai Luochu treated him differently. The reason why he wasn’t going all out was because he knew that Bai Luochu wasn’t clear about their relationship. If he scared her off, he would regret it for life.

Bai Luochu might react slower than others in terms of relationships, but Pei Qingfeng had risked his life to rescue her and was saying such ambiguous things right now. No matter how slow she was, Bai Luochu could detect the feelings he had for her. However, because he wasn’t willing to state it clearly, she wasn’t going to assume that he was interested in her. Her hands paused for a moment before snapping the reins again.

The horses were galloping rapidly and with the sudden stop, Pei Qingfeng nearly flew out of the carriage.

Bai Luochu cramped up after hearing Pei Qingfeng’s question. She cleared her throat and replied, “Cough cough, it is nothing. There is a herd of sheep in front of us and it will be bad for me to kill any of them. I stopped suddenly and I hope for Your Highness’ forgiveness.”
