CH 43

Time flew by, and the sun was already shining brightly overhead when Su Yi began to squirm around in bed and gradually awaken. He shifted slightly, but even such a small movement made him hurt, it seemed as though there wasn't a single part of his body that did not ache, his bones in particular seemed as though they had been shattered and could no longer provide a framework for his body. As he was struggling to get up from the bed, Zi Nong came in. Bearing down on him gently, she prevented him from rising and said: “Empress Consort please rest for a while, let Zi Nong sooth and warm up your muscles and tendons before you try to get up again.” She suddenly say Su Yi look up at her, with a hint of entreaty in his eyes, he said: “Miss Zi Nong, please don't address me like that. Could you please keep on calling me Young Master instead?”
