Quan Si and Shuangcheng rushed into the room from the outer hall. Quan Si reached out to feel the pulse, and at last his heart settled. "There is nothing wrong now. Only the wounds on her hands need to be tended to for a few more days. Fortunately, the poison was not fast-acting, and since the Master has always had a weak stomach, she was provoked into vomiting it up. Otherwise, had no one noticed, she might have just slipped away in her sleep."
"..."
Actually, last night had been the best she had slept in a long time. Her head had ached so badly last night that she had almost wanted Shuangcheng to knock her unconscious, but before she could even say so, she had truly passed out. Yet she dared not mention it, fearing that Quan Si would simply dose her with medicine to keep her asleep for several more days. Squeezing the hand of her younger son as he held hers, she said softly, "You haven't slept all night? Go get some rest; your father-in-law is coming this evening. Qinger? Are you there?"
