Volume 2: Awakening Memories ☆ Light of Dawn Chapter 9: Dual Personalities

  War King Mansion · Xuan Yue Pavilion

  "See His Excellency Duke Zhang."

  "Get up." Yè Yuè's face was pale, her eyes were filled with bloodshot, and she looked dazed but stubbornly refused to fall down.

  Even if she wants to fall, she has to wait for Yixin to wake up before she can fall down with peace of mind.

  If she hadn't dragged Yixin to stroll through the market, if she hadn't insisted on not bringing a single maid, perhaps Yixin wouldn't have gone missing and been stabbed. Or perhaps they could have found her earlier and wouldn't have forced out that cold-blooded side of hers, which still hasn't awakened from its coma.

  "Thank you, Your Highness. The queen's life is strong and she will definitely wake up." Liang Chen bowed his head slightly and retreated with Mei Jing, carrying the washbasin.

  For seven whole days, Wang Ye stayed by Yixin's side without taking off his clothes, doing all the things that the slaves should have done.

  Even if he doesn't know how to take care of people and is unwilling to learn, he still wouldn't want to entrust the task of taking care of the princess to others.

  How he wished that when the princess opened her eyes, she would see him in that instant.

  "Mm." She nodded slightly, and her eyes, full of complex emotions, fell onto the back of Ye Juechen. She couldn't help but lower her gaze and let out a soft sigh.

  "You're not resting properly, what are you doing here again?" Without turning back, the low and hoarse voice was desolate, with an endless chill.

  "Dust, you wouldn't want Jiǔ to wake up and find that you've collapsed, would you? She'd definitely hope that the first person she sees when she opens her eyes is you." Even an iron body can fall ill after seven days and nights without sleep.

  Ye Yuexing was moved by Ye Xiu's determination to win for his sake, but he also worried about the toll it would take on his body.

  At least her younger brother now understands his own feelings for Yixin, it's not too late, everything still has a chance.

  "Would she want to see me?" Ye Juechen muttered, if he had protected her well, how could such a thing happen, how could she be driven to that point.

  It's not that Nan Rong's shallow words hurt her, but rather that his maintenance of her was still insufficient.

  "When she was unconscious, why did you reject Nan Rong's shallow gaze at you? Do you think Jiǔ ěr's heart would not have you?" Perhaps that kind of concern, even Jiǔ ěr herself didn't know.

  Yè jué chén róu de jiāng yī xīn rǎn cāng bái de xiǎo shǒu fàng jìn bèi zǐ lǐ, qǐ shēn zǒu dào chuāng biān, yáng guāng dǎ zài tā de shēn tiáo, yǒu xiē huàn yǎn, yǒu xiē cì mù, "Gōng lǐ zěn me le?"

  English Translation:

  The night was quiet and gentle as he put Ye's pale hand into the quilt, got up and walked to the window. The sunlight shone on his body, dazzling and piercing, "How is the palace?"

  That day, in the Pepper Chamber, he took away Yixin's heart. Afterwards, he left everything to Xuan Yuan Si Chen and Nan Rong Mo Chen Shang. Situ Luo Lan followed him back to the War King's Mansion. Although Father Emperor had sealed off all news, it was hard to guarantee that nothing would leak out, so he had to be on guard.

  "Except for a few trusted ladies-in-waiting, all the palace maids were dismissed from the palace. The Emperor also reminded the various imperial consorts in front of everyone, and the informed palace maids in their palaces were also sent away. For several days now, everything has been calm and peaceful, and there hasn't been any news spreading to the outside world."

  "That's great."

  Some accounts can be calculated slowly, no need to rush at once.

  As Father Emperor said, Jiu Er's identity is special. Although the Crown Prince's consort has committed a serious error, she has also entered the Ye family clan. If things get out of hand, it will not be beneficial to Jiu Er. It would be better to retreat for now and wait for an opportunity to act later.

  "After the Crown Princess returned to the palace, she had a persistent high fever. The senior imperial physicians came and went from the Crown Prince's residence, but it was ineffective. At night, she would always have terrible nightmares, which must have been quite frightening."

  When saying these words, Ye Yuexiao wasn't sympathizing with Nan Rongsheng's words, but rather her tone was full of regret.

  She really didn't know what kind of deep hatred could make Nan Rong Shallow Language do such a cruel thing. Where did the simple and kind Shallow Language from childhood go?

  Ye Juechen stood by the window, not saying a word. The sudden drop in temperature in the room told Ye Yuexia that this man was controlling his urge to strangle Nan Rongsheng's neck.

  When he rushed into the pepper house, forgot about time and place, stretched out his hand to pinch Nan Rong's neck and asked about Jiu Er's whereabouts, even he himself would not know that his love for Yixin had already surpassed everything.

  Whether in heart or eyes, there is only Yixin's figure.

  "The imperial physician said that the crown prince's consort's face, if not for the Snow Skin Cream, would be hard to recover to its former appearance." The Snow Skin Cream is hard to come by, known throughout the land.

  Even in the imperial palace of Japan, there isn't one.

  It is said that in the imperial palace of Qing Guo, there are two bottles, which are more precious than gold, silver and jewels.

  "The Snow Skin Cream in my hand is only enough to restore this little thing's original appearance, as for others, I'm afraid I can't help."

  "I knew you wouldn't agree to give it to her." Spread out his hands, Ye Yuexiao didn't get angry either. Those who harm others will ultimately harm themselves.

  Nan Rong's words are indeed deserving, those orders were all given by her, except for arranging those thugs to ruin Jiu Er's innocence and take her life, who knows if she also ordered them to destroy Jiu Er's stunning looks.

  What women value most is first chastity and second beauty; losing either one would be unbearable.

  In this regard, she would not sympathize with Nan Rong at all.

  If the consciousness of Jiu'er hadn't been temporarily occupied by that unfamiliar Jiu'er, then the consequences would have been terribly frightening. Every time I think about it, my whole body trembles with fear.

  "Your Highness, Sir Steward's son has arrived."

  "Please come in." Ye Juechen turned around, walked to the bedside and sat down, looking at her tightly closed eyes, her long eyelashes casting a shadow on her eyelids, and under the sunlight, her pale face was almost transparent.

  Yi Xin's body was stained, and the big and small scratches had gradually disappeared, leaving only a faint pink color. Only the scars on her hands and right face were still very eye-catching.

  Before scarring, in order to prevent wound infection, I didn't dare to use snow cream to remove scars for her, and could only wait day by day.

  "Yes."

  "Luolan, take a look at Jiu'er, why isn't she waking up yet?" Ye Yuexiao winked at him, hinting that she couldn't persuade Ye Juedu to hand over the Snow Skin Ointment.

  Unable to personally finish off Nan Rong, with a belly full of pent-up anger, it was only natural that she would think of ways to vent it out. Even if Ye Xue had plenty of Snow Skin Cream in her hands, enough to leave no scars on Yixin's face and body, the remaining cream wouldn't be shared with anyone else, not even if Yixin were to apply it just for fun.

  Moreover, that person is the culprit who hurt Yixin's heart.

  Situ Luo nodded calmly, having already guessed the outcome based on his understanding of Ye Juechen. His expression didn't show any unusual changes, and his slightly cool fingers rested on Yixin's wrist to take her pulse.

  "There seemed to be two different her in her body, one strong and one weak, neither of them giving in to the other, which is why she had been trapped in a deep sleep all along."

  He had only seen an example of dual personality in his master's manual, where a person's body contained two autonomous consciousnesses, one strong and one weak.

  Only when subjected to a huge stimulus, the second personality that is completely different from usual will be triggered in order to protect oneself from harm. Yixin Ranhua encountered assassination one after another and her life was threatened, the instinct of survival triggered her second personality.

  Spiritual power is highly tense and collapsed, physical endurance reaches its limit, physical exhaustion, and finally falls into a coma.

  "She has been sleeping all the time and can't eat anything, she will starve to death sooner or later."

  "You and your family had already received news that the Ninth Princess of the Southern Kingdom did not want to marry, and she had jumped into a lake in an attempt to kill herself, injuring her occipital bone. The Emperor of the South explained that this was the reason why the Ninth Princess had been confined to her quarters for over a month."

  "What exactly do you want to say?"

  "The queen's occipital region was indeed severely hit, with a lot of blood clots pressing on the brain. I also don't understand whether the queen's abnormality is because she has multiple personalities or if it stimulated her memories that were originally engraved in her bones, causing her to fall into a coma."

  In the southern country, both men and women are skilled in riding and shooting. The ninth princess Yixin's horseback skills are unparalleled, which is a delightful thing for the people of the southern country to talk about.

  After the head injury, it is highly likely that some memories will be forgotten. Combining Yixin's behavior after arriving in Ye Guo, Situ Luolan felt that Yixin had a high probability of losing her memory.

  Something deeper can only be asked clearly after Yixin wakes up from her intoxication.

  Digression

  Haha, today I added 200 more words, Xiaolan worked very hard on writing, everyone please give me a thumbs up.
