Chapter 191 The Return Of The Nightmare (Part Two)


    Yun Shang was so shocked that she had to lean against the door frame to support herself. She closed


    her eyes to suppress the surging pain in her heart. ''It was my wish to make Hua Jing happy. So I


    agreed to live with Hua Jing. Now, as Hua Jing is quite happy, there is no need for me to feel sad.'' Yun


    Shang tried to console herself with all these justifications. ''I will be fine no matter what happens. I used


    to be a naughty girl, who rivaled with Hua Jing for everything. Now, Hua Jing is in love with my


    husband. I can tolerate it if Hua Jing is really happy. I will be fine with the affair between Hua Jing and


    my husband. Jingran is a yboy. I have known it since the first several months after our wedding.


    Anyway, Hua Jing is a much better choice than those dissolute women in the outside world.


    What saddens me is his behavior toward Huan''er, who is, after all, his son. Huan''er has been sick for


    over half a month, but Jingran hadn''te to visit Huan''er.''


    Yun Shang stood at the doorway for a long while. She leaned against the door until her feet became


    numb. Then she rallied herself to cough as usual. The talking immediately stopped. Yun Shang tried to


    speak as loudly as she could, "Wu Yi, ask the physician to subscribe some herbs for me. I caught a


    cold. Bring the medicine for me after it is boiled."


    After a long time, a reluctant "yes" was heard from outside.


    Yun Shang burst into tears though she had tried to hold them back with all her strength. Her tears were


    so hot that they almost scorched her eyes.


    Yun Shang felt dizzy after taking the medicine. Fearful ofmunicating the cold to Huan''er, Yun


    Shang went straight to her chamber to rest. She felt better two hourster. She summoned for Lian Xin


    twice. However, it seemed Lian Xin had not yet returned as no one responded. Before going to see


    Huan''er, Yun Shang had to get dressed by herself.


    Huan''er cheeks seemed red. The quilt, which was supposed to cover his body, was by his side. Yun


    Shang frowned at this sight, and pulled the quilt to cover Huan''er again. However, when she touched


    the boy''s forehead, she was dismayed to find that Huan''er was running a temperature. Yun Shang was


    so shocked, she pulled her hand back in surprise. But, as soon as she regained herposure, she


    stretched out her hand again. Upon testing the boy''s forehead, she was convinced that Huan''er was


    indeed feverish.


    "Mother... Mother... I feel bad..." Huan''er said feebly. Yun Shang''s tears ran again. Huan''er, her brave


    boy, had not onceined during his illness. He was an intelligent boy who would never sadden his


    mother because of his own suffering. However, no matter how brave Huan''er was, he could not help


    but moan in the midst of his fever.


    Yun Shang felt a sharp pain in her heart. The day was so hot and Huan''er''s fever so high, that he must


    feel terrible!


    "Maid! Maid!" Yun Shang called hurriedly.


    Wu Yi walked into the chamber in a casual manner. She frowned as soon as she smelled the heavy


    scent of herbs in the room. "What''s wrong?"


    Yun Shang raised her hand to wipe the tears on her face, "Wu Yi, Huan''er is running fever. Please send


    for a physician for him."


    While looking at the bulge under the quilt, Wu Yi said with a frown, "Princess Hua Jing and the


    Emperor''s Son-in-Law passed by here when I was boiling herbs for Your Highness. As Princess Hua


    Jing felt nauseated by the smell of herbs, the Emperor''s Son-in-Law ordered that no herbs should be


    boiled in the Pce from today on. And no physicians should be sent for as well."


    Yun Shang felt as though the strength in her body was psing little by little. She burst into a bitter


    smile after a short while, "How could he be so cruel to me? I am his legal wife. And Huan''er is his son.


    His son!"


    "It hurts, Mother. I feel so terrible..." Huan''er voice was so feeble that it sounded no louder than the soft


    buzzing of a mosquito. Yun Shang was so terrified that she took Huan''er into her arms. Then she put


    on a cloak to shelter Huan''er. Huan''er was in need of treatment. She must go to her husband and beg


    him to save Huan''er.


    The rain was so cold today. Yun Shang thought to herself as she headed for the turret. It was already


    summer, but the rain was still felt as cold as ice. The rain drenched her so unmercifully that it seemed


    as though every drop of it had fallen onto her heart.


    Yun Shang saw Lian Xin waiting at the gate of the turret when she arrived. Lian Xin frowned when she


    caught sight of Yun Shang. "Why do youe here? The Emperor''s Son-in-Low is busy. He ordered


    that no one should disturb him."


    Yun Shang felt colder when she heard Lian Xin uttering those words. Looking at the pretty young maid


    standing by the gate of the turret, Yun Shang could not believe that she had trusted this maid the most.


    Lian Xin even spared herself the trouble of addressing Yun Shang as Your Highness. "Huan''er is very


    sick. He needs treatment, " the Princess exined.


    Lian Xin still resumed a cold attitude. "You should go to the physician for help. There is no use in


    pleading with the Emperor''s Son-in-Law."


    Yun Shang clenched her teeth to suppress her anger. Then she called aloud, "Jingran, please. Would


    you please find a physician for Huan''er?"


    A window upstairs was pushed open. When Yun Shang raised her head, she happened to catch the

    cold gaze of her husband. He was standing by the window, holding Hua Jing in his arms. And her


    sister, Hua Jing, was shing her most graceful smile at her. Then Hua Jing sneered, "The Emperor''s


    Son-in-Law has ordered that no one should disturb him. You are rude to ignore his orders. Kneel until I


    allow you to stand." Then the merry giggle of Hua Jing followed.


    Yun Shang was at a loss. She looked down at Huan''er face, which was getting paler and paler. Yun


    Shang felt as if her heart was being sliced, one cut after another.


    After a while, Yun Shang knelt on the ground. She pulled at the cloak to shelter Huan''er. Yun Shang


    rejoiced in the knowledge that she had put on another robe under the cloak, which would certainly


    protect Huan''er from getting cold.


    However, she still felt worried for Huan''er. When she raised the cloak, she was shocked to find that


    there was a trace of blood at the corner of Huan''er''s mouth. And Huan''er looked so pale that he


    seemed to have breathed hisst.


    "Huan''er! Huan''er..." Yun Shang cried in horror. The shock of seeing her child die all over again woke


    Yun Shang from her nightmare. She sat up on the bench all of a sudden.


    "Your Highness! Your Highness!" Yun Shang heard someone address her with concern. When she


    turned, she saw Qin Yi looking at her with worry. "Your Highness, did you have a nightmare?"
