Zong Yunqian was groggy, having slept for an entire day and night, plagued continuously by nightmares, his whole being seemed to have fallen into a quagmire. Several times he woke up in alarm, with Gu Dao steadfastly guarding by his bedside.
"Princely Heir, how are you feeling?" Gu Dao, anxious, had blisters at the corners of his mouth. He brought some water over. Zong Yunqian took a sip but then spat it out, and Xi Feng hurried to clean it up, cautious not to make too much noise in the middle of the night.
Zong Yunqian went back to sleep. Since leaving Prince Duan's Mansion, there hadn't been a moment of lucidity; whenever he woke, he was disoriented and confused.
Gu Dao and Xi Feng, anxious as ants on a hot pan, after discussing with each other, decided to go to the Imperial Palace overnight to seek an audience with Master Yu Sheng.
