For four full days, Chu Qingmeng showed no sign of waking up. Throughout this time, Mo Wushuang spent almost every moment by her bedside. Mo Liuyuan and Mo Liuteng came to check on her every hour or two, then went to report back to Mo Liujin. Kneeling in the ancestral hall, Mo Liujin was half-mad with anxiety, unable to see Chu Qingmeng's condition for himself. His heart remained in his throat, and the wounds inflicted on him by Concubine Liu began to flare up and fester from all the turmoil. Having gone four full days without a single grain of rice, he burned with a high fever and drifted in and out of delirium. After the Mansion Physician fed him medicinal broth, he finally regained some clarity, but Mo Chenfeng still refused to let him out, ordering them to continue kneeling. Mo Liufang had been silent ever since entering the ancestral hall, radiating a deeply dejected and gloomy aura.
Finally, on the evening of the fifth day, Chu Qingmeng woke up.
"Sister Qingmeng!" Mo Wushuang was just getting ready to return to her room to rest when she saw Chu Qingmeng slowly open her eyes.
