The next day, dawn broke, and perhaps because she had pressing matters weighing on her mind, Dong Huiying awoke with a start.
She sat up groggily, feeling a burning pain from the ninety lash wounds.
Last night, she had been preoccupied tending to the injured of the Liang family, and had neglected her own reopened wound until she woke up.
Thinking she should apply some medicine, she made her way into the east room.
Yixuan saw her and quickly stood up.
Dong Huiying glanced at Shujun on the kang bed, "Is he still doing okay?"
"He woke up once, but then fell back asleep."
She then looked over the others.
Shujun was lying at the head of the kang, with his second brother Shu Yu beside him.
