Yi Ling was shocked, she had seen those purple eyes before. The one who had touched her hand and her heart. When she saw this man in her dreams, her heart felt pain, and she even cried. Although Mu Xin could make her heart skip a beat at times, this man in front of her could make it stop. Seeing him again, now that she could finally see and speak with him, her eyes started to cry.
She closed her eyes, sensing that she was about to break inside. Why so much pain? Why do I always cry when I see this man? Did we have a past together? She thought. She clenched her chest and started to knock it down with her fist. She couldn't breathe.
Seeing her tears and her actions, King Jin instantly held both of her shoulders, fearing that she would faint again. Her soul wasn't all healed up just yet.
"Are you okay? Are you in pain? Speak!" His heart jumped at the thought that she was hurting. She didn't answer as she was trying to calm her heart and her breathing.
Since she didn't reply, he thought of the worst. He lifted her up and carried her back to his quarters.
"Yu Ran! Come to this King this instant!" He yelled out loud.
Yu Ran was shocked. Even though he had left, he was still close by. Hearing the King's anxious voice, he dashed toward the King's quarters. Did something happen? He thought, worried for the King anyways. Both of them didn't know the woman's identity or her background. It was as if she had come out of nowhere. No matter where he inquired in this kingdom, nobody seemed to know her.
Back in King Jin's quarters, he laid Yi Ling on his bed. He got her into a sitting position. He handed her a pill and some water. Yi Ling didn't know what the pill was, but she knew that the water was spiritual water. Nobody would waste spiritual water like this, not even the high-ranked kingdoms.
She didn't know why, but she trusted him. She accepted the pill and drank it along with the water. Her heart and her breathing started to calm down.
"Are you feeling better now?" King Jin was worried for her. He lifted his hand and checked her pulse. Sensing that the pill was slowly working, he finally calmed down. He still didn't hear her speak up, so he looked up.
He saw her staring at him. They looked into each other's eyes. His hand lifted up and moved some of her hair away from her face. Yi Ling blushed.
Yu Ran, on the other hand, arrived at this scene. His eyes were bulging out, and his mouth was hanging open. When Yi Ling heard Yu Ran come in, she coughed, letting the King know that someone was here.
"Bring some food for this King's woman!! And make it hasty!!" King Jin didn't even bother to look at Yu Ran. He kept staring at Yi Ling while his hand was holding hers.
Hearing the King's order, Yu Ran got his senses back, bowed, and left. He had never seen the King holding someone else's hand before, touching someone's hair, nor having those purple eyes full of adoration. His body shivered. Can someone tell me what's going on!? He dashed toward the kitchen to convey the King's order, but before he even reached there, he stopped.
"Hold on a second, did I hear that right? The King's woman!????" Yu Ran's eyes and mouth went wide again. He instantly shook his head and started running to the kitchen again. He would get a heart attack if this kept going, he thought. I need some vacation! he cried in his mind.
